Blaine strolled through the halls of McKinley feeling happier than he had in months. Yesterday had been Mr Schue and Miss Pillsbury's disaster of a wedding, but it hadn't been a disaster for Blaine. He and Kurt had spent the night together and, despite Kurt's insistence that they were just friends, Blaine felt sure they were going to get back together.
He rounded a corner and ran into Kurt himself, wearing a white shirt, tight jeans and a purple scarf.
"Hey." said Blaine, grinning.
"Blaine!" said Kurt "Listen, about the wedding-"
"I know – just friends," said Blaine, smiling.
Kurt looked at him apologetically.
"I mean it, Blaine. Last night was fun, but... I still feel like I can't trust you after you cheated on me."
"You know how sorry I am about that, it kills me, Kurt. I hated myself for months-"
"I know and I want to forgive you." said Kurt. "... I'm going back to New York tomorrow, I just came to say goodbye."
Blaine's mood plummeted. He suddenly felt very stupid about getting his hopes up, and bitter that Kurt didn't feel the same way he did.
"Fine," said Blaine stiffly, "Just..." he hesitated, "...have a good flight." And with that he wheeled round, leaving Kurt alone. Blaine spitefully began to sing as he marched down the hallway.
I don't know why
You think that you could hold me
When you couldn't get by by yourself
And I don't know who
Would ever want to tear the seam of someone's dream
He turned a corner, scoffing.
Baby it's fine, you said that we should just be friends
Well I came up with that line and I'm sure
That it's for the best
If you ever change your mind, don't hold your breath
Blaine now sang as if taunting Kurt.
'Cause you may not believe mmm mmm mmm
That baby I'm relieved
When you said goodbye, my whole world shined
Hey hey hey
He flung his arms out unnecessarily exuberantly.
It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
If we're drinking, then I'm buying
And I know there's no denying
It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing
And even if it started raining
You won't hear this boy complaining
Blaine turned around to almost yell down the hall.
'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away!
It's a beautiful day
He rounded the corner at the end and disappeared into the crowd. Meanwhile Kurt was storming through the corridors in the opposite direction, arms crossed across his chest, singing snidely.
It's my turn to fly, so boys get in line
'Cause I'm easy, no playing this guy like a fool
Now I'm alright
Might've had me caged before, but not tonight
Kurt pushed through some Cheerios and passed the Spanish classroom.
And you may not believe, mmm mmm
That baby, I'm relieved
This fire inside, it burns too bright
I don't wanna say "so long", I just wanna say "goodbye"
Kurt stopped for a second as a memory resurfaced
"I'm never saying goodbye to you."
He shook his head and continued on his course, singing jauntily, but as though he had to convince himself of what he was saying.
It's a beautiful day and I can't stop myself from smiling
If we're drinking then I'm buying
And I know there's no denying
It's a beautiful day, the sun is up, the music's playing
And even if it started raining
You won't hear this boy complaining
'Cause I'm glad that you're the one who got away, mm mmm
Kurt turned the corner and saw Blaine standing at the far end, looking hurt, but with a yearning in his eyes.
Blaine saw Kurt from his end of the hall, and sang quietly to himself, his voice cracking.
'Cause if you think I'll take up
My time with thinking of our break-up
Kurt sang from the opposite end, shaking his head solemnly at Blaine.
Then you've got another thing coming your way
The two turned their backs on eachother and moved in opposite directions, but not before glancing back at the other and singing with forced conviction.
It's a beautiful day.
