Hi Everyone!
So, this is another one-shot featuring the lovely Klaine :D
It follows the episode "Original Songs," so if you have not seen it, go watch and then come back. I am not kidding, there was a major development for Klaine last night!
I do not own Glee…if I did I wouldn't make everyone wait another four weeks for Klaine.
Enjoy!
Duets and Three Small Words
"Kurt!" He whipped around on the staircase, feeling déjà vu, but this time was different. A grin spread across his face as he met his boyfriend in the middle of the staircase. Blaine took his hand, and leaned in to press their lips together. It was all Kurt could do not to react like he did when Blaine first kissed him; boys swarmed around them as classes let out for the day, and some were throwing smirks their way.
There was an intake of breath as Blaine pulled away, and Kurt felt himself frown at the loss of contact.
"Wow," Blaine breathed. "I'll never get used to that." His fingers danced across the other boy's cheek, as his heart swelled with emotion.
They hadn't said those three little words yet; three words that conveyed so much, and made everything so real.
"C'mon," Blaine said, grabbing Kurt's hand and running through the hallway to the commons.
They arrived just in time to hear Wes say, "…All in favor?"
The couple slid discreetly onto a sofa, and gave questioning glances to the other Warblers.
"We might be doing another performance at the mall," a freshman explained quietly.
Wes banged his gavel, "Guys, please try to be on time."
Kurt's cheeks went up in flames, and he felt Blaine shift uncomfortably beside him.
"All in favor," Wes continued.
The group raised their hands in a unanimous vote, and a resounding thud from the gavel followed.
"Alright, now onto song choice," Wes smiled. The council members shared a knowing smile, and turned to Blaine and Kurt on the sofa.
"Your duet to Candles was very good, and we'd like to give the two of you another opportunity to sing together," David beamed.
Blaine found Kurt's hand while his lips turned up in that smile filled with adoration.
The next words Kurt heard caught him by surprise, and his head immediately swam with ideas. "The two of you can decide the song choice, and then we'll practice during the next meeting," Wes said still smiling.
There were cheers from the other boys, and even though Blaine and Kurt hadn't told anyone about their newly formed relationship, everyone could tell.
"What song do you think we should do?" Kurt asked.
Blaine lowered his eyes, "I want you to choose."
Kurt's eyes widened, "Really?" he asked.
Blaine nodded, his eyes running over the younger boy's features. In the last two weeks, he couldn't stop smiling at him. His breath caught every time he saw him smile, or even saw him for that matter.
Kurt clasped his hands together, "I have so many ideas for a song choice, but I think I have the perfect one for us to sing," he explained excitedly.
Blaine melted, and reached forward to take Kurt's hands in his. "What song is it?" he whispered.
Kurt grinned coyly, "You'll just have to wait until practice next week."
Blaine's heart thumped, "You wouldn't."
"I just did."
Blaine smiled mischievously, and his eyes sparkled as he moved his hand to Kurt's face, cradling it against him.
Kurt's breath became shallow, and his heart beat erratically in his chest. He tilted his head slightly, and it was just enough to mold their lips together. The feel of Blaine's lips on his wasn't anything he ever wanted to forget; their lips whispered together, and fit perfectly. He deepened the kiss, and felt himself being pressed to Blaine's body.
All too soon they broke apart, winded, and gasping for air. Blaine felt his cheeks flush, but his hand never left Kurt's face. The younger boy closed his eyes at the contact, and Blaine drew him to his chest in one fluid movement.
"I'm still not telling you the song choice," Kurt sighed.
"As long as I get to spend more time with you, I'll wait," Blaine whispered.
Kurt pulled Blaine towards the parking lot of the local mall, the others following close behind. "Hurry, hurry," he exclaimed.
They ran around cars, and through small groups of people out shopping. It was an unseasonably warm day for late March, and Kurt couldn't shake the nervousness that clung to him.
Blaine could feel Kurt's hesitation in waves, and he gave Kurt's hand a comforting squeeze.
"Warblers, take your places," Wes announced. The boys spread out in front of the buildings, with Kurt and Blaine slightly in front for their duet. Blaine smiled at the boy next to him, and the others began a low hum in two groups that flew across the parking lot and immediately turned heads. Blaine directed his gaze towards some people passing by and took on the first verse:
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
Kurt took a deep breath, and moved in front of Blaine as he sang the next four lines; his eyes never left the hazel that moved with him, and he ended up smiling at the crowd that had begun to form:
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
The boys behind them began to move; dancing up and parting on either side of the couple. They joined in for the chorus, and the crowd gasped as they witnessed back flips and other steps that were designed to turn heads.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
Kurt nodded at Blaine, and they backed up while the rest of the group froze. Blaine turned to the younger boy and they both sang the next part:
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
They danced around each other, slowly, agonizingly until they met in the center of the group and sang the chorus two more times. The other Warblers made their way back to their original places, but not before earning more cheers and whistles from the crowd.
Kurt beamed and Blaine put his arms around him, whispering, "That was incredible."
Kurt was busy catching his breath, his face resting against Blaine's shoulder and his arms wrapped around his neck. When he pulled back his blue eyes were glistening with tears, and Blaine shocked, gently wiped them away with his fingers.
"There you are," Blaine announced, walking into the rehearsal room two days after their performance.
Kurt leaned back in his chair to greet the older boy, a smile already on his face. He waited while Blaine seated himself next to him, and reached for his hand.
"What were you doing?" Blaine asked.
Kurt swallowed, "Thinking," he replied.
Blaine scooted his chair closer, "About what?"
"How to tell you how I feel," Kurt said shyly.
Blaine's eyes grew soft, "I thought we already knew how we felt."
"We do," Kurt answered. "But we haven't actually said it yet."
Blaine understood, and he pulled the younger boy to him, "Why are you afraid?"
Kurt drew in a shaky breath and cleared his throat, "Once it's out there, then I feel like anything that could go wrong will get a chance to go wrong." He felt Blaine nod against his head, and relaxed when he realized he felt the same way.
"I know," he said. "Saying 'I like you' seems a lot safer than telling someone you love them because when you love someone you risk being hurt in a way that doesn't happen when you're just friends."
Kurt pulled back hesitantly, "It seems so simple."
"Which makes it even scarier," Blaine replied. "This is new to us, and we don't have to rush anything," he continued.
Kurt smiled, and brushed his fingers along the back of Blaine's hand. He felt shivers make their way down his spine as Blaine's voice whispered in his ear, "I've waited for you forever, and I'm not about to waste any moment of the time I spend with you."
The song they sang was "You and Me" by Lifehouse!
Love and Rainbows everyone :D
