Author's Note: So here it is! Turns out I had more time to write than I thought. This story is the sequel to my other fic, Summertime, but I don't think you necessarily need to have read that to understand the plot. Hopefully the rest of New Directions seem in character, I'm mostly used to writing Kurt and Blaine. And obviously I do not own Glee, nor do I own the song that Blaine performs at the end of the chapter. The only thing I own is the story. Thanks for reading, and enjoy!
School had started again, with Blaine going to Dalton and Kurt at McKinley. It had been okay last year, going to different schools, when the two of them were still getting used to being boyfriends. They'd missed each other, of course, but they'd dealt with it and still seen each other often enough.
Blaine had been very disappointed, actually. After finally realizing that his feelings for Kurt were, well, let's just say, "more than friendly", and asking him out, Kurt had almost immediately moved back to McKinley. And Blaine had missed him a lot more than he let on. It was hard, after being able to see Kurt every day, to suddenly have him torn away. He'd understood, of course. But still. He'd felt a little lost without Kurt. Dalton seemed empty.
And this year it was even worse. They'd spent almost the entire summer in constant contact, and now Blaine was expected to survive without him? He loved the Warblers, he really did, but they didn't make up for Kurt's absence. He felt as though he lived for the times they spent together at the coffee shop, meeting whenever they were able to. It could never be enough.
Kurt missed Blaine. The rest of New Directions teased him for the love struck look he apparently assumed whenever he thought of Blaine, and then he would sigh and ignore them in favor of reliving a happy hour he had spent with Blaine the previous afternoon.
This, however, could be difficult when the choir room was filled with shouts, laughter, and the inevitable arguing. Rachel was angry that Mr Schuester had passed her over for a solo – ignoring the fact that the rest of them hardly ever got solos, and Santana's voice was far better suited to the song.
Kurt was sick of it. He missed Blaine's voice, his kind eyes, and the way his boyfriend's smile would light up a room. He even missed Blaine's immature jokes. Most of all, her missed being able to kiss his boyfriend whenever he felt like it, instead of the stolen hours at the Lima Bean, when both of them had a little less homework than normal, or just decided that homework wasn't that important compared with seeing each other for a little while. He had definitely come a long way from being embarrassed when Blaine mentioned that he needed to work on being sexy.
Blaine came to the conclusion that drastic action was needed. He ran his plan past of his friends, remembering how they had helped with the disastrous "Warbler's Gap Attack" the previous year. He was fairly certain this one would go over better, but he wanted a second opinion.
"So, do you think it'll work?"
"Kurt won't know what hit him," his friend assured him. "And I'm pretty sure you can rule out rejection with this one."
"One problem, though. I'll have to miss a bit of school."
"We'll cover for you," they promised.
"Thanks, guys."
Kurt was fast growing impatient with the other members of New Directions. He loved them, and had missed their insanity somewhat when he went to Dalton, but he'd quickly gone back to his previous policy of mostly ignoring them. He looked over at Mercedes and rolled his eyes. She shrugged. Kurt had been rather annoyed the Mercedes had neglected to tell him of her relationship with Sam, but the two openly held hands now, and Kurt was very happy for her, despite his irritation.
There was a knock on the door of the choir room. Mr Schuester got up gratefully to answer it, hoping whoever it was would distract his unruly students. Kurt looked up as his teacher opened the door, and was shocked to see Blaine, politely waiting to be admitted into the choir room.
"SPY!" Rachel screamed. "SPYYYYYYYY!"
"Rachel, calm down," Kurt said. "First of all, this is Blaine. He's not going to steal our set list. Second, you shouldn't be worried about that, seeing as we don't even have a set list yet."
Rachel folded her arms, refusing to admit that he was right. "He could still be up to something."
"So why are you here?" Mr Schue asked.
Blaine suddenly looked unsure of himself. "I... um... wanted to sing. In front of... you guys."
Mr Schue looked interested. "Go ahead."
Blaine had brought a set of speakers and an iPod with him, and set them up on a table at the front of the room. He turned to face the Glee club.
"So, I'm singing this song to Kurt. Actually, that should be pretty obvious, once you hear it, but... anyway. Hopefully you'll enjoy it."
He turned the speakers on, and Kurt tried to figure out what song it was. The intro sounded sort of like "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For", by U2. Kurt felt a sudden flash of panic. Was Blaine breaking up with him? Then Blaine started singing, and Kurt stopped worrying about that. In fact, he stopped worrying about anything at all.
I never thought that I was so blind
I can finally see the truth
It's me for you
Now Kurt recognized what the song really was. He was partly amazed at his boyfriend's audacity to sing something like that in front of New Directions, but mostly completely unable to take his eyes off Blaine. He looked unbelievably sexy, singing passionately straight to Kurt.
Tonight you can't imagine that I'm by your side
'Cause it's never gonna be the truth
So far for you
But can you hear me say?
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
Blaine had evidently been feeling exactly as he had. It was hard, being apart for so long.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
It was getting a little more intense now. Blaine's gaze was fixated on him, and Kurt marveled at his charisma, being able to pull off a song like this and making it completely believable, as though he had written each line himself.
Take everything that I know you'll break
And I give my life away
Too far, from you
But can you hear me say
Don't throw me away
There's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
Wow. Somewhat melodramatic, but Kurt could tell he meant every word.
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
Tonight I'm weak
It's just another day without you
I can't sleep
I gave away the world for you to
Hear me say
Don't throw me away
And there's no way out
I gotta hold you somehow
It was almost painful, how similar their thoughts had been. He felt a surge of love for Blaine.
All I wanna do is touch you
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Everyday but all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
Every way and when they set me free
Just put your hands on me
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
But all I have is time
Our love's the perfect crime
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna touch you
You wanna touch me too
And when they me free
Just put your hands on me
The music faded out, and there was an outbreak of whistling and catcalls from the rest of the Glee club. Kurt turned pink and looked away from Blaine. Santana was directing an extremely rude hand gesture at him, and Puck was looking impressed and giving Blaine a thumbs up. Rachel looked extremely jealous, and Finn seemed to be wondering if he had to worry about Blaine as competition. He found Mercedes' face. She was smiling at him and mouthing "I think you found a good one." He smiled back. She was absolutely right.
"Well, that wasn't what I was expecting at all," Mr Schuester said. "But it was certainly very impressive." He looked at Blaine seriously. "I realize that you're in the Warblers, but I think you would make a great addition to our Glee club. Would you consider switching to McKinley?"
Blaine shifted his feet. "I've been thinking about it. I haven't decided yet. I need to talk to a few people." He looked at Kurt when he said this. "But thank you very much for the offer."
Kurt broke into a wide smile. He stood up and walked towards Blaine, then kissed him, not caring that the entirety of New Directions were watching.
A/N: The song is "I Wanna" by the All-American Rejects, and you can listen to it here: http: / www .youtube . com/w atch?v=Qw m7crkV124
