This is written from the PoV of one of the warblers. Just one of the random extras, just another back up singer. My ideas on why they let Blaine basically take over and do every song as a solo.
Warning! This is a REALLY short fic. But there may be really short follow up chapters.
Disclaimer: I no own Glee. *Pout*
I walk into the Warblers hall and take a seat on one of the couches. Wes is already starting to pound his gavel to get everyone's attention, even late stragglers are still streaming in the door.
They all hurry up and take seats anywhere, couches, chairs, the arms of the chairs. In fact, some of them look like birds on their perches. Wes announces the soloist for our songs and no one is surprised when all of them go to Blaine.
No one seems upset, they all just clap politely as Blaine stands up and takes the recognition. Then he sits down, satisfied with himself. Not in a smug way, but with a little pride and confidence in himself. I wish I had that.
That's why I'm here. Performing is supposed to help me out of my shell. I don't feel confident enough to perform solo, so I joined the Warblers to be part of a group.
Acceptance into the most prestigious group at Dalton and I'm still one of the quietest kids here.
I'm a background performer, an extra, and I'm ok with that because I still get to sing.
When I sing...I feel alive. More than that I feel substantial.
I'm can be heard, even if it's just the people swaying next to me. They can hear me and I can hear them and I am apart of something. Something bigger than myself.
I don't care that Blaine get's all the leads, and no on else in Warblers really does either.
I'm here for the support I add in the background. Some people, like Blaine, are here because they need to be out there but they don't want to go it alone either.
Regardless of whether I'm in the spotlight or in singing in the eaves, I exist.
And that's enough for me.
This was just something that came to my strange mind one night and I finally got it out.
I was thinking, why is Kurt the only one who doesn't seem to agree with the counsel and why does Blaine ALWAYS get the solo. Well, this is just one possible view point. Maybe one of them just doesn't care as long as he gets to sing and be apart of something bigger.
I may do a different take on this later, depending on the feedback I get from this chapter. So yeah, let me know what you guys think, kays?
Thankies,
OSK
