One day midway through senior year, Dalton had a free day that McKinley didn’t. Kurt was home, visiting Dad at the shop, and Blaine was with him, and Finn had left something at home, so Kurt and Blaine brought it to him.
A few of the bigger bullies spotted them. Blaine shouted out a warning before getting punched in the gut, and the bullies were ranting about fags and wastes of space and show your faces around here? and learn your place!, and Kurt felt rage, such a screaming, roaring rage.
Calm. Calm yourself.
The voice shut everything else down. Kurt couldn’t hear the bullies, or Blaine, or Puck getting involved even though they weren’t friends and never really had been, or Coach Beiste shouting.
Good, very good, the voice said. Thank you for calling me, Mr. Hummel. This could have gone very poorly.
Professor X, Kurt thought. I didn’t call you.
But you did, Professor X said gently. I’m all the way in Tokyo, child, and I heard you. Even you haven’t realized your true strength, and if you’d lashed out instead of staying your hand… but you hesitated. Now, take a deep breath.
Kurt inhaled, and heard Mercedes shriek. Someone else cried out in pain.
Kurt exhaled and opened his eyes.
.
Blaine’s parents sued McKinley. Kurt sat down with his dad and had a long discussion about Xavier Institute.
Finally, it was decided that Kurt would finish his education at Dalton then go to the Institute during the summer. From there, he’d decide on college.
Professor X said, You’ll do wonderful things, Kurt. Erik was quite impressed by you.
.
Kurt told Blaine, “I’ll never say goodbye to you.”
Blaine said, “Of course not. I’m coming with you.”
.
“Welcome,” Professor X said, smiling at them both as stepped into Xavier’s Institute. Magneto stood beside him, and he nodded to Kurt. “I’ll show you to your room,” Professor X continued, “and then take you both on the tour.”
“Thanks,” Blaine said, smiling. Kurt just nodded.
Don’t worry, Kurt, Professor X murmured.
I’m not, Kurt lied.
.
“How come Xavier can read my mind,” Kurt asked Blaine that night, as they curled up in their bed, “but you can’t?”
Blaine kissed his neck. “I’m not strong enough,” he said, hand trailing down Kurt’s back. “Xavier might be the only telepath who can.”
That made sense, but Kurt decided to focus on his boyfriend instead.
.
The stars sang, and Kurt listened, adding his own to the chorus.
Only a few mutants on Earth could sense what he was doing, and he’d gone to school with none of them.
None of them, probably, would ever know how close they came to being eradicated by a boy, beaten down and at the end of his rope. But Kurt knew. And held tight in Blaine’s arms, he whispered years’ worth of confessions, so Blaine knew, too.
But Blaine stayed. Blaine kissed him, and loved him, and maybe one day, Blaine, too, would be able to hear the stars.
