Written for tumblr prompt: The New Directions decide to support and cheer for Kitty and Blaine at cheerleading nationals and they know that Kitty's really good but they're surprised by sexy co-captain Blaine, but no one is more surprised and aroused than Sam.
Disclaimer: Oh, wow, I don't own Glee? Wait, of course I don't… If I did, NYC wouldn't be there (love the city, used to love Kurt, hate what's happening). Also, Blaine and Santana would have sung Brave, which is my current favourite song. Also, Blam would be canon and the show would revolve around them, Kitty, and Brittany. Wait, it doesn't? Right, I haven't watched much of season 4 or 5, I basically accept SageK's (tumblr: blaineandsamevanderson) stories as canon. Whatever, I'm not RIB.
The New Directions were walking down the busy hallway at the performance centre for Cheerios Nationals. Brittany had come from MIT to watch, and was leading them since apparently she had competed in the same building before. They were all excited to see Kitty perform, since she enjoyed broadcasting her gymnastics talents along with her vocal talents. They, other than Brittany, were still unsure of what Blaine's roll was, since he never mentioned anything about gymnastics skills. They knew that he was deceptively strong from his fight club, but that didn't seem worthy of being co-captain. Brittany had a small smirk on her face from all of their attempts at figuring it out. She wasn't about to spoil it, she had to get pictures of their reactions. Finally they made it to the stadium, for lack of a better word. Brittany ran up the bleachers before finally choosing a row, announcing that it gave them the best view. Brittany made sure to seat herself next to Sam, wanting to see his reaction.
"And now, all the way from Lima, Ohio! McKinley High's Cheerios!" The announcer shouted.
The Cheerios streamed out and into a V formation. The glee kids all started looking for Blaine and Kitty, but they weren't there. Suddenly the music started, playing the song that Kitty had wanted to sing with Marley before they decided on We Are Women instead.
Kitty came out into view, twirling fast and causing her skirt to flip up.
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where's the street-wise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Blaine ran out to join her, lifting her upside down and holding her wrists while she fell into the splits.
Blaine:
Isn't there a white knight
Upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn
And dream of what I need
Blaine was still holding her when he bent into a bridge and slid her between his legs, pulling her back up to face him. Brittany looked over at the New Directions. They all had various degrees of shock on their faces and she was sure that that was drool on Sam's face.
Both:
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life, larger than life
Oh Woah!
Blaine arched his back dramatically while Kitty leaned forward against his chest.
Blaine:
Oh!
The duo reversed the action, Blaine leaning forward against Kitty
Kitty:
Yeah!
Blaine and Kitty separated and began a complicated series of flips with the rest of the Cheerios.
Blaine:
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasies
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There's someone reaching back for me
Kitty jumped Blaine, wrapping her legs around his waist and leaning backwards, ponytail brushing the floor.
Kitty:
Racing on the thunder
And rising with the heat
When Kitty was back on her own feet, Blaine leant forward, allowing Kitty to handspring off of his back.
Both:
It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet.
Ooh
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
Blaine dropped into the splits easily. Kitty grabbed Blaine's hands and matched him, only upside down.
Kitty:
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Or where the lightning splits the sea
I could swear there was someone somewhere watching me
Blaine:
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I could feel his approach like the fire in my blood (like the fire in my blood)
The duo stood again, each locking a leg around the other's hip- Kitty's right leg around Blaine's left hip and Blaine's right leg around Kitty's left hip. They both leaned backwards into bridges, singing the whole time,
Both:
Oh!
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the morning light
He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be strong
And he's gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I'm holding out for a hero til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero!
The routine ending with all of the Cheerios' heads down and Blaine and Kitty in centre splits. The New Directions all stood up to clap except for Sam, who was still sitting in shock. Brittany laughed, and forced the others to sit down when they started their second routine. The cheerleaders formed a circle around Blaine and Kitty, who were standing back to back with their arms crossed across their chests.
Kitty:
You better take it from me, that boy is like a disease
You're running, you're trying, you're trying to hide
And you're wondering why you can't get free
Blaine:
He's like a curse, he's like a drug
You get addicted to his love
You wanna get out but he's holding you down
Both:
Cause you can't live without one more touch
The Cheerios broke out into a V and Blaine and Kitty broke out into series of back handsprings.
Both:
He's a good-time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery
He's a devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight
You better run for your life.
The singers ended their handsprings in handstands, with their legs out as for the splits, only bent.
Blaine:
I see that look on your face
You ain't hearing what I say
So I'll say it again
'Cause I been where you been
And I know how it ends
You can't get away
Kitty:
Don't even look in his eyes
He'll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe
But you won't be deceived
If you listen to me
And take my advice
Much to the New Directions' shock, their teammates weren't even close to being out of breath when they joined the rest of the Cheerios for a series of dance moves, featuring a few impressive acrobatic tricks.
Both:
He's a good time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water
But he's candy coated misery
He's a devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't want to fight
You better run for your life
The singers moves in front of the rest of the group, launching into handstands leaning their feet against each other so that together they were in the bridge position.
Blaine:
Run run away
Don't let him mess with your mind
He'll tell you anything you want to hear
Kitty:
He'll break your heart
It's just a matter of time
But just remember
They pushed off of each other into flips and landed upright, rejoining the rest of their team for the rest of their routine.
Both:
He's a good time cowboy Casanova
Leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he's candy coated misery
He's a devil in disguise
A snake with blue eyes
And he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don't wanna fight
You better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life
Oh you better run for your life
Once again, the New Directions who weren't performing were all on their feet cheering. Sam still appeared to Brittany to be in shock but he was standing up, so that was progress. The Cheerios all seemed even more confident than usual, clearly knowing how well they were doing.
The next song confused everyone by starting off slower, all of the Cheerios forming a V, with Blaine and Kitty in the front with their heads down.
Blaine:
I said remember this moment, in the back of my mind
The time we stood with our shaking hands
The crowds in stands went wild
Both:
We were the kings and the Queens
And they read off our names
The night you danced like you knew our lives
Would never be the same
Kitty:
You held your head like a hero
On a history book page
It was the end of a decade
Both:
But the start of an age
They transitioned easily into cartwheels, followed by front walkovers.
Both:
Long live all the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
They slowed down with their music, performing handstands and leading themselves into bridges, singing as they did.
Both:
I said remember this feeling
I passed the pictures around
Of all the years that we stood there
On the sidelines wishing for right now
Kitty:
We were the Kings and the Queens
You traded your baseball cap for a crown
When they gave us our trophy
And we held them up for our town
Blaine:
And the cynics were outraged
Screaming 'this is absured'
Cause for a moment a band of thieves
In ripped up jeans got to rule the world
They made yet another move, one that Brittany identified as a front aerial, look easy, following it with a move they learned was a front layout.
Both:
Long live all the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
I was screaming long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretenders
One day, we will be remembered
Hold on to spinning around
Confetti falls to the ground
May these memories break our fall
Brittany made an impressed noise at their dive rolls, explaining how most Cheerios hurt their necks attempting it.
Blaine:
Will you take a moment, promise me this
That you'll stand by me forever
But if god forbid, fate should step in
Kitty:
And force us into a goodbye
If you have children one day
When they point to the pictures
Both:
Please tell them my name
Tell them how the crowds went wild
Tell them how I hope they shine
The entire stands seemed impressed by the Cheerios' standing back handsprings, but jaws dropped when the vocalists were able to sing during their back layouts with full twists, followed by front tucks.
Both:
Long live all the walls we crashed through
I had the time of my life, with you
Long, long live all the walls we crashed through
All the kingdom lights shine just for me and you
I was screaming long live all the magic we made
And bring on all the pretenders
I'm not afraid
Singing long live all the mountains we moved
I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
And long, long live that look on your face
And bring on all the pretender
One day, we will be remembered
The perfectly executed side aerials ended their final routine, and the New Directions led the rest of the spectators in a standing ovation. Blaine and Kitty were both beaming, and Kitty surprised even herself by jumping on Blaine in a hug, wrapping her legs around his waist and letting him support both of them on their way out. They were the last team for the competition, so none of their friends felt bad for running off, Sam pushing Artie ahead of the others, to go congratulate them.
"If you value your hairgel, you won't drop me. You get it?" Kitty was lecturing with a small smile. As soon as she saw the New Directions, she moved off of Blaine and adopted her icy exterior.
"You guys saw us?" Blaine asked. He seemed flattered, but sensing Kitty's nerves, he shifted slightly, placing himself in front of the girl who had quickly become like a sister to him.
Brittany broke any tension by dragging the two cheerleaders with her to interrogate them about who choreographed the routine, how they mastered so many moves, and who convinced Sue to let them pull it off.
Sam, who had gone back into shock seeing Blaine up close, was jerked back into reality when he noticed everyone else crowding around the duo. He pulled Blaine by the shoulder to a slightly more isolated area, interrupting Blaine's questions with a kiss.
"Sam?" Blaine asked in confusion.
"What? I can't help it that I realized that I'm in love with my best friend," Sam defended himself.
Anything else they had wanted to say was cut short by Kitty pulling Blaine –and by association the rest of the glee club- to their other team mates to hear the results. Blaine was gripping Sam's hand and Kitty's, who in turn was cutting off Brittany's circulation. When the Cheerios were announced National Champions once again, Kitty and Blaine went to collect the trophy, showing it off to the team. Once the others had the trophy, Blaine felt himself being swept into a hug by the tall blond. The kiss that followed, he decided, was much better than any trophy.
-I AM BREAKING THE LINE-IT IS BROKEN-THIS HAS BEEN A LINE BREAK-THANKS-
Hey!
Wow so yeah this wasn't meant to be over 2400 words! I know that I should have been working on another story but I needed something seriously mindless because I am sick. I got extremely sick and that led to spending a lot of time sleeping in my school's health centre which led to severe dehydration which led to spending the weekend in the ER. Fun, right? Even better was finding out that I will be having surgery on my stomach over my March break when I go back home. I don't remember what's getting removed (I was half asleep, half freaking out over the IV because I don't think anything freaks me out more than needles) but I know it isn't my appendix because I don't have one. *shrug* Whatevs, so yeah I've been having a lot of trouble focusing in class so I took the lovely prompt from lauraperfectinsanity on tumblr. To find her list of prompts (which are awesome there are so many I want to do while regaining the health and mental capabilities required to write a chapter or a multichapter thing) go to her tumblr and add /post/75689247359
Um yeah I think that's all… please review! Thoughts?
Oh! And credits, right!
Song 1: I Need a Hero-Bonnie Tyler- Okay so I took artistic liberty and changed the song that Marley sang with Kitty because I didn't think it worked as well between them as it would with these two… Who knows, maybe that's because they're probably my two favourite characters at this point? I don't know… But yeah, this is one of my favourite songs and has been for around two years since I first saw the video in context with Jack Harkness and Ianto Jones of Torchwood.
Song 2: Cowboy Casanova- Carrie Underwood- alright I dunno… I was listening to this song one night and suddenly started picturing a routine for them and all of a sudden this happened. I'm sorry (and this applies to all three songs) if what I was picturing wasn't described well, I've never been good with dance and/or gymnastics explanations, even if I know what I'm picturing.
Song 3: Long Live- Taylor Swift- this was the hardest song to choose. Why did I choose this one? I don't actually know. I just tried with a bunch of different songs and just wasn't feeling it. I wasn't 100% feeling this one, either, but it was working with me better. So I hope you guys don't mind this song choice, if you have other ideas of songs for these two to sing (whether as Cheerios or Gleeks) please let me know!
Yeah, I think that's it…
Review please!
