Is that a bite?

Chapter 1.

The sun poured through the window and onto Kurt's crisp sheets and spilled out around the room, highlighting Kurt's vanity at one end of the room and the 3 packed suitcases at the other. The brown-haired boy stirred slightly at the sound of footsteps above but refused to get out of bed. Today was the first day at Dalton but for Kurt that didn't matter. They would be the same. They would sneer at him and shove him into the walls and call him a fag. Kurt had almost laughed when his father had said that they had a zero tolerance bullying policy. It might not happen in front of the teachers but it'd happen all the same. Kurt knew it. He'd fought hard to stay with his father and with Finn and Mercedes, but each one of them agreed that after what he'd done to Kurt, there was no place at McKinley left for Kurt to be safe.

"Kurt" someone shouted from the top of the stairs leading into the basement. "We need to be gone in half an hour"

Kurt starred at the ceiling. A new life. That's what they all said he needed. A new life. Well a new life could fuck off.

*PAGE BREAK*

Dalton looked like it had in the brochure. Picturesque. Homely. Fake. Kurt quickly scrutinised the building and realised that the plan he had created in his mind of sneaking out and leaving the school for home when it got to much for him would not be happening. The security that had been stressed in the brochure to help keep the parents at ease was not a lie. With several security cameras on the front of the building alone and a gate leading into the school, Kurt's heart began to sink and he bowed his head in submission.

"It looks okay eh kid?" Burt asked from beside him.

"Can we go and look inside Burt?!" Finn practically shouted from the back seat.

When he had first volunteered to come and help move Kurt in, Kurt had refused considering Finn was one of the people who'd persuaded Burt to put Kurt in the school. But as the last week went on, Kurt realised the more people there to protect him on the first day, the better.

"Sure Finn, me and Kurt'll be there in a minute"

As Finn leapt out of the car and ran to the front door, Burt turned to Kurt.

"Look, I know you're not happy about this and I know that this isn't what I'd want either but you've got to know Kurt, this is the only option we've got. With Karof-"

"Don't say his name"

Burt jerked in response. Kurt hardly spoke these days and when he did it was to say either 'yes' or 'no'.

"With…him still at McKinley we can't protect you all the time. This is the only way"

Kurt looked up at his father for the first time.

"What if I wanted to stay?"

"Kurt not agai-"

"NO I want to stay, please they'll be the same and I don't want t-"

"ENOUGH. I love you very much and that is the only thing that is giving me the strength to do this so please don't make this harder. We need to move you in by 5 so your guide can show you around alright?"

Kurt nodded mutely.

They grabbed Kurts suitcases from the back of the car and walked to the building, finding Finn bouncing up and down in childlike excitement.

"THIS IS SO COOL" he yelled. "I WISH I COULD COME HERE"

"Why don't you" Kurt muttered

Finn and Burt exchanged a glance and then proceeded to wonder where Kurt's room was, when a blond boy came running down the marble staircase and stopped dead in front of them wheezing and coughing.

"SORRY *COUGH* I'M *WHEEZE* LATE" he spluttered "I had a chemistry makeup test which I hadn't revised for and the teacher knew so she asked me why and I had to tell her about me and my boyfriend breaking up and then him calling me and it was just a mess anyway I'm Jeff!"

All three Hudmels looked shocked at the little ball of energy that had just flown at them and imparted three days worth of knowledge in a single sentence. Burt was the first too recover.

"Hi Jeff, I'm Burt, Kurt's dad"

"Nice to meet you Burt!" Shaking his hand as he said it.

"I'm Finn and did you say you had a boyfriend?" Finn asked curiously

"Yes is that a problem?" Jeff asked with a tight smile.

"NO its just perfect becau-" He said

"Drop it Finnagen" Kurt hissed from behind him.

A silence fell over the group but Jeff was quick to fill it.

"So you must be Kurt! I'm your roommate Jeff!" He smiled

Kurt nodded towards him, thinking he may as well try to acknowledge his existence if he was his roommate.

"So did you want to see your room?" Jeff asked hesitantly as the boy he was talking too was finding his shoes incredibly interesting.

"We'd love too" Burt interjected

"Cool! You're going to love it here Kurt"
