The Life and Times of Kurt Hummel
Season 2, Episode 1: US AGAINST THE WORLD
1/22- It's the start of Kurt's senior year at McKinley, and his secret relationship with Blaine is stronger than ever. Meanwhile, the Glee club reunite and commit themselves to the upcoming competition.
Early September. The alarm clock rang out; the worst noise imaginable. Kurt slammed his fist on his nightstand and the noise stopped. He rolled out of bed and began his moisturising routine glumly, having to accept the fact that it was time for school to start again. However, this time it was different. This time last year he was alone, unhappy and awaiting two years of school left.
This time, it was Kurt Hummel's senior year, and he had a boyfriend.
The dashing Blaine Anderson.
The two of them had been dating all summer, but were still keeping it a secret because it was going so well. Kurt had never been happier. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Kurt smiled immediately, knowing who it was, and ran to the door. He opened it and stood before him was Blaine, his hazel eyes and gelled black hair as perfect as ever.
"Is anyone around?" Kurt asked.
"Nope." Blaine replied delightedly. Kurt pulled Blaine in for a kiss. It felt just as good as the first time.
"Let me just finish up, then we can go." Kurt said and ran upstairs. He paused at the top and looked back to see Blaine beaming at him.
"...What's up with you?" Kurt asked.
"I'm just glad you're finally mine." Blaine said with a wink as he entered the living room and greeted Finn, Carole and Burt. Kurt smiled and finished getting ready. It was Kurt's last year at McKinley, and he was determined that it would be the best.
-THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KURT HUMMEL-
"Welcome back GLEE CLUB!" Will exclaimed. Everyone cheered loudly. Kurt looked at Blaine, who was sat next to him, and smiled slightly.
"Okay guys, I know we've just got back but we need to refocus ourselves and really think about getting ready for Sectionals. For some of you, this is your last year, your last competition season, and I want to make sure we go all the way." Will explained. Everyone's spirits seemed to lift.
"My last year..." Kurt whispered. Will began to count the number of students sat before him.
"Someone's missing...wait, where's Adam?" He asked. Suddenly Kurt and Blaine both realised Adam wasn't there. How did they not notice before? Blaine got out his phone and text Adam.
'We're at Glee. Where are you? -B'
There was no reply, and Sue walked past the door. Will ran after her.
"Sue, have you seen Adam?" He asked her.
"The third member of The Gay Musketeers? He's in the auditorium spreading pixie dust." Sue replied and carried on walking away.
Blaine entered the auditorium and saw Adam sat on the floor of the stage, music playing in the background. He was dressed in clothes that, Blaine thought, he would never wear. Adam began to sing with the music as Blaine stepped back and out of Adam's line of sight and listened.
"Summer after high school when we first met Used to steal your parents' liquor In another life In another life I was June and you were my Johnny Cash Someone said you had your tattoo removed But in another life In another life All this money can't buy me a time machine (Nooooo) In another life In another life In another life
We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my 18th Birthday
We got matching tattoos
And climb to the roof
Talk about our future
Like we had a clue
Never planned that one day
I'd be losing you
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you
I put those records on (Whoa)
Saw you downtown singing the Blues
It's time to face the music
I'm no longer your muse
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The one that got away
Can't replace you with a million rings (Nooooo)
I should've told you what you meant to me (Whoa)
'Cause now I pay the price
I would be your girl
We'd keep all our promises
Be us against the world
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
The o-o-o-o-o-one
I would make you stay
So I don't have to say
You were the one that got away
The one that got away..."
The song ended and Blaine tentatively clapped. Adam turned to face him.
"That was great." Blaine said.
"What do you want?" Adam asked bluntly, turning away again.
"We were wondering where you were; it's time for Glee club. I thought you liked it." Blaine said.
"I do, but after Nationals and how badly we lost I got bummed about it. Then, the more I thought about it, the harder it is for me for contemplate staying in the same room as Kurt every day for another year. I screwed it up with him. Is he seeing anyone?" Adam asked.
Blaine held his breath for a minute.
"Um..."
"...Is he seeing you?" Adam asked.
"NO! God, no. I don't think he'd want to date either of us..." Blaine said, looking everywhere but into Adam's eyes.
"...I guess. I'm sorry you might not get the chance to date him." Adam said. Blaine felt guilty.
"...Maybe it just wasn't meant to be. I missed you over the holidays; I thought we were patching things up but we saw each other twice in six weeks, and one of those times was a glimpse in the supermarket." Blaine commented.
"I know. I'm sorry. I wanna be best friends again and see you more often. You're all I have left in this school now." Adam said.
"Well, you know where I'll always be so we can hang out?" Blaine asked.
"Where?"
"...Glee club."
"...OKAY! OKAY! I'll be there in five." Adam said and stood up.
"Okay." Blaine said and went to walk out.
"Adam..." Blaine began. Adam looked at him.
"...Good to have you back, old chap." Blaine said, mocking his accent like he used to. Adam gave him a rude gesture and laughed as Blaine walked out.
Blaine entered the choir room once more and sat next to Kurt.
"Adam will be here in five." Blaine said happily. Will smiled.
"What did you say?" Kurt asked.
"Things." Blaine whispered.
Adam soon joined them and the whole group immediately started debating songs for Sectionals. Everything was back to how it used to be.
"Hey kiddo, can you go to the shop and get some milk?" Burt asked as he sat on the couch in the Hudson-Hummel home.
"Why me?" Kurt asked.
"You've got younger bones." Burt said with a smile. Kurt sighed, gathered his stuff and went to leave.
"Take the car. By the way, the main road is shut so you'll need to go the long way around the big field." Burt said and laughed as he heard a loud groan as the door shut.
Kurt drove all the way around the neighborhood before he reached the outskirts of the big field. It was a remarkable place; a large area with tall trees and beautiful flowers. It was getting dark and the moon could be faintly seen high in the sky. The field was lit up with ancient lampposts; it looked like a scene from a fairytale. Kurt continued driving with the field to his left before he noticed someone was sat under a tree with a blanket and plates of food. The person waved at Kurt before Kurt pulled over and parked next to the field. Kurt got out of the car and looked to see who the person was.
Blaine.
Kurt's heart started beating fast as he took in the amazing scenery and approached Blaine.
"Surprise!" Blaine said.
"I take it the main road isn't actually shut, then?" Kurt asked.
"Ah, so Burt used the old 'main road is closed' excuse. Classic." Blaine said with a smile.
"So you two were partners in crime behind my back..." Kurt said.
"Don't you just love it?" Blaine asked.
"No, I just love you. This is lovely." Kurt said before wrapping his arms around Blaine and kissing him passionately. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt as the kiss deepened. They pulled apart and rested their foreheads against each other's.
"I'm gonna miss you so much when you graduate." Blaine whispered.
"Let's not think about graduation yet. Plus, you'll be joining me in New York before you know it; you only have one school year after me before you graduate." Kurt explained.
"I know, but even a second without being with you feels like forever sometimes. All this for a school?" Blaine asked.
"Blaine, this is NYADA we're talking about. Rachel spent the whole holiday explaining how great it is, and I really wanna go there. It's my dream, Blaine. And I will miss you so much, but we'll visit each other and I'm gonna stop talking about it because it makes me sad." Kurt said and kissed Blaine again before sitting on the blanket and eating a few crisps on the plate nearest to him.
"So, what's the occasion?" Kurt asked.
"A fresh start." Blaine said and joined him.
"I know you like the fairytale feeling, so I thought this would fit the bill. Also, since I noticed over the holidays that you have each Twilight film on its own and in a box set, I figured you'd like my choice of music." Blaine said and pulled out his phone before playing a song on it.
"I love this song. You are the most romantic and perfect human being to walk across this earth." Kurt said.
"That honour is yours." Blaine said and kissed Kurt on the cheek. Kurt begaen to sing as he stared into Blaine's perfectly hazel eyes.
"The day we met,
Frozen I held my breath
Right from the start
I knew that I'd found a home for my heart...
...beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave?
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall?
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow."
Blaine took hold of Kurt's hand as he sang a line with him.
"One step closer..."
Kurt sang once more.
"I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
Blaine sat up onto his knees and held both of Kurt's hand. Kurt did the same. Blaine rested his head on Kurt's as he sang.
"Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this."
The two boys sang together again.
"One step closer.
"I have died every day waiting for you And all along I believed I would find you I'll love you for a thousand more... One step closer..."
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more...
Kurt stood up and smiled as he sang by himself again.
"I have died every day waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more."
Blaine stood up and began to dance with Kurt as they sang together. Kurt smiled as Blaine kissed his neck.
"I love you." Blaine whispered.
"I love you so much. It's us against the world." Kurt replied.
"And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more..."
The danced to the music as the song came to an end. They kept on dancing.
They didn't even notice the music had stopped.
NEXT TIME…
"Time to go acapella!"
Suddenly everyone was surrounded by darkness.
"That hasn't happened for the longest time..."
They were busted.
