(A/N): So... my second story.
Yeah. Still fluff, basically. I think I'm trying to load up on this a bit so when/if I post my "Big Project" (check out the poll on my profile for details!) you don't think I'm a crazy psycho. Yeah, I put poor Kurtie through a lot. :/
Okay: Kurt= italics
Blaine= bold
Both= bold and italics

There are certain things in life that just are.
They can't be changed. They will be forever and forever more. It's the answer to that question: To be or not to be? Yes.
To be.
Things like gravity, the fact that 2+2=4.
There were certain people that fit as well. People like Kurt and Blaine.
Sure, they had their fights and their disagreements like any other couple. But they always got through it. They would part and separate for a day or two and then everything would get resolved because they are absolutely mushy and there would be a heart wrenching apology scene before everything went back to normal.
This time, though, wasn't normal.
It's been going on for weeks. They haven't been speaking, and it's made being around either of them downright awkward.
The whole tussle basically boiled down to Blaine. Now, not to say it's entirely his fault, but here's the gist of it: exam week was looming at Dalton. Every student at Dalton was to the point of pulling their hair out with the reviews and work, or more so for those in the Warblers and other extracurricular activities. Blaine, being the lead in the Warblers, on the student council, the RA and the fencing team, was stretched super thin.
Unfortunately, he began to take his pent up frustrations out on Kurt. It was Kurt's first year at Dalton. He was frazzled, probably to the same point, if not more than Blaine. But, alas.
Blaine would snap at Kurt when he asked for help, and basically left him be. When Kurt confronted him about it, stating that he was stressed too, Blaine only got angrier and said some things he shouldn't have.
Push comes to shove and… here they were. In Warblers practice; Kurt was sitting on one end of the room, furiously scribbling on some papers in his lap. Blaine was on the opposite end, trying to keep his eyes focused on David, whom he was conversing with, and not on Kurt.
Wes finally decided enough was enough. He plopped down next to Kurt, making him jump.
"What'cha writing?" He pressed, leaning closer to read what he had written.
"N-nothing." Kurt stammered, fumbling to cover the pages. He didn't want Wes to see, but he was too late.
"Is that…. Did you write a song?" Wes asked, surprised. He didn't think Kurt had it in him.
Nearby Warblers overheard and turned towards the duo, their interest sparked.
"I… well, I—" Kurt started, but was cut off by choruses of "Let's hear it!" and "C'mon Kurt!" and "Give it a go!" They had the attention of all the Warblers by now.
Kurt sighed, realizing with a grimace that he wasn't getting out of this one. He would have to remember to throttle Wes after.
"Well, it's sort of… a duet." Kurt admitted, keeping his eyes downcast as he felt a familiar gaze fall on him.
"No problem!" David chirped, his features morphing into a sly grin. "Blaine?"
Blaine sighed and walked over to his (ex?) boyfriend as Wes sifted through the papers.
"Damn, Kurt!" Wes exclaimed, looking up. "You've got a beat, bass line, harmonies…"
David and Wes met eyes. "Who's up for the challenge, Warblers?" David called out.
They were met with a series of affirmations. As the parts were handed out, Kurt and Blaine awkwardly turned to face each other. Kurt knew what the song was about; he met Blaine's eyes with a determined look. But he knew Kurt; there was an underlying of nervousness and… hope, even, in those expressive cerulean eyes.
The Warblers began the opening notes and chords, and Kurt's voice lifted with the melody, him and Blaine trading lines. There voices melded beautifully on the last line.
Do you remember when we didn't care?
We were just two kids that took the moment when it was there
Do you remember you at all?
Another Heart Calls
The emotion in their voices was plan and raw. The two held their gazes, expressing all they had been feeling throughout their weeks apart.
Yeah, I remember when we stole the night
We'd lie awake but dream until the sun would wash the sky
Little smiles graced their lips as they reminisced. The smiles soon faded as the heart of the song made itself known in the chorus.
Just as soon as I see you
I didn't lie, but didn't I tell you?
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all?
Tears sprang to the couple's eyes as the same question popped into their minds: where do we go from here?
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Says it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
The seemed to subconsciously walk nearer to each other, never once breaking eye contact. They were both trying to express and show how much they loved the other… but at the same time they weren't sure if they were picking it up from the other side.
Talk to me
I'm throwing myself in front of you
This could be the last mistake that I would ever wanna do
And all I ever do is give it's time you see my point of view
And here they were: finally addressing the problem. Kurt's expressive voice represented how he had felt. And Blaine's sorrowful harmonies seemed to convey remorse as they once again launched into the chorus.
Just as soon as I see you
I didn't lie, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all?
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
And here they go, admitting they want to fix this. That's the first step, right?
Their voices went together so well; like the pieces of a puzzle: Kurt's high, melodic and lilting while Blaine's was strong and emotional.
I know what you want is
To figure it out
God Knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
As the chorus of Warblers behind them fell into the rhythms of "oh's" and "na's", Kurt and Blaine slowly linked hands. One tear slid down Kurt's cheek as he slowly shook his head. He knew what was coming, and he hoped with all his heart that Blaine meant it. He just could not lose him.
I'm sorry!
So what?
But you don't think I've said enough
I'm sorry!
I don't care!
You were never there
Kurt broke eye contact for the first time, but Blaine only pulled him closer as he continued with the song.
Just as soon as I see you
I didn't lie, but didn't I tell you
As deep as I need you
You wanna leave it all?
Kurt's voice grew in strength and he tugged on Blaine's hands violently. He seemed to be begging; asking him, what did he do wrong? How can I make this better?
What can I do?
Say it's true
Or everything that matters breaks in two
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
But I know what you want is to figure it out
And God knows I do too
What can I do?
Say it's true
I'll never ask for anyone but you
The wall of sound that was the Warblers rose once more into their melody as Kurt and Blaine repeated their line: "I'll never ask for anyone but you."
As the final chord faded into nothing, Kurt and Blaine closed the last bit of space between them and connected their lips.
Tears were sliding down both of their faces, Kurt clutching at Blaine as he angled his head for better access. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist. When their need for oxygen overpowered everything else, they pulled away.
As it turns out, they hadn't remembered there were others in the room. Who were now cheering. Cat calls and shouts of "Finally!" filled the room.
The boys chuckled and blushed. Kurt looked down at their interlaced hands and bodies pressed together as Blaine whispered, "I am so unbelievably sorry, Kurt. This… this time apart has really made me realize how much I freaking love you. I mean, I missed you so much. And," He added coyly, "I missed" kiss, "doing" kiss, "this." Kiss.
Kurt blushed as the Warblers watched their interactions. Kurt took a breath in, expecting himself to go all-out diva on him, but all that came out was a semi-desperate "I love you."
"I love you, too."
They embraced, and Wes and David called out as one: "GROUP HUG!"
They were swarmed by the boys, all rumbling with laughter and happiness. It seemed that 'Klaine' could overcome anything.
"Blaine?" Kurt said from inside the cocoon.
"Yes, love?"
"Can you promise me something?" Kurt's eyes looked scared yet hopeful, with and underlying sparkle of his normal spunky self.
"Don't you ever leave me."
"That, I can do."
