Hey everyone! So, my last Glee story was a total flop…I hope this one will be a bit better. In advance, I apologize for any spelling mistakes...I'm kind of known for making a lot of them!
Disclaimer: I don't own glee or the song "Silly Love Songs."
"Alright, Glee Club! Today we'll be continuing our lesson for this week on love songs. Does anyone have a song the prepared that they'd like to sing for the class?" Mr. Schuester turned to face the glass, grinning madly.
Everyone shifted nervously in their seats. Given the numerous amounts of break-ups, cheating, and steamy hook-ups that had gone on between the members of the Glee Club, love songs were a touchy subject.
"Anyone?" Mr. Schuester looked disappointed, and he turned back to the whiteboard.
"Mr. Schue, if I may, I happened to prepare a little song that I'd like to sing for the class." Kurt stood up and looked at his fellow Glee clubbers, who smiled at him. "I'd like to perform it in the auditorium."
"Alright Kurt!" Mr. Schuester started clapping, and everyone else joined in. Kurt looked around beaming, and his eye caught the one of Blaine Anderson's, the Glee club's newest member. The teen had supposedly transferred from a super rich private school and had been the lead singer in the school's singing group, the Warblers. Kurt could believe it: the boy was "sex on a stick an sang like a dream." There was a rumour going around that Blaine was gay, but Kurt knew well enough not to believe rumours. The fact that whenever Kurt looked Blaine, he always caught the teen staring at him didn't help lessen the major crush on Blaine
Blaine caught Kurt looking at him and grinned broadly, causing Kurt to look down shyly. Mr. Schuester led everyone from the chorus room to the auditorium, where members of the McKinley bad were already set up. Kurt walked up onto the stage (followed by Brittany and Tina, who would be singing backup for him).
Kurt sighed and did a couple warm-up breaths before turning around to nod at the band. Kurt closed his eyes and smiled at the gentle downbeat of the bass drum. He heard Brittany and Tina start "ahh-ing" behind him. Kurt took a deep breath began to sing:
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
Kurt's face broke into a smile. If he had to name one thing in the world he loved doing most of all, it would be singing, no question. Especially singing love songs.
I love you
I love you
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, so can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see,
Although Kurt wouldn't admit it, he was secretly singing to Blaine. In fact, he had chosen that specific song because it expressed all his feelings for Blaine, yet it wasn't a straight up "I love you, Blaine." No one would need to know that this song was only for Blaine.
Love doesn't come in a minute,
Sometimes it doesn't come at all
I only know that when I'm in it
It isn't silly, no, it isn't silly, love isn't silly at all.
I love you
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, so can't you see? (I love you)
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see (I love you)
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, so can't you see? (I love you)
You'd think that people would have had enough of silly love songs.
But I look around me and I see it isn't so, oh, no.
Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs.
And what's wrong with that?
I'd like to know, 'cause here I go again
I love you
I love you
Kurt looked out into the audience and noticed the very person he was singing to was looking at him intently, a small smile playing at the corners of his mouth. Kurt blushed furiously and looked at the floor of the auditorium, still feeling the brunette's gaze on him.
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me, so can't you see?
Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me, now can't you see?
I can't explain the feeling's plain to me.
Kurt finished strongly, still blushing slightly. When he finally dared to look up, the whole Glee club was cheering for him, but all he saw was Blaine, who was still looking at him straight in the eyes.
"Nice job, Kurt!" Mr. Schuester exclaimed, and everyone started clapping.
Oh god, Blaine knows! Kurt thought, horrified. He didn't even have time to panic over this thought though, because Brittany and Tina were next to him, jumping up and squealing.
"Ohmigod, you were so good Kurt!" Tina exclaimed.
"You guys were awesome too!" Kurt replied.
"That bass drum is being difficult. It must be in a bad mood," Brittany said, pointing to the large bass drum, which was indeed being "difficult": it was missing a wheel, and the poor teenager trying to get it too move could barely keep it under control.
"Kurt, even though I must say your song choice was a little out of character and I myself would have gone for one with more of a Broadway beat, you performed that song very nicely," Rachel was standing on tiptoes right up against the stage.
Kurt best down so he was crouched on the edge of the stage. "Why thank you, Rachel. It's nice to get a comment from you that isn't sarcastic or criticizing." Rachel practically beamed with complacency. Out of the corner of his eye, Kurt could see Blaine walking over to him and Rachel, and was relieved when he heard Tina yell from the back of the stage, "Hey, Kurt, come check this out!"
Kurt stood up and turned around to hide his crimson face from Blaine started to walk over to Tina, but was instead greeted by an out-of-control bass drum to the chest.
Oof!
Kurt grabbed his chest, the wind knocked out of him, and stepped backwards, only to realize he was on the edge of the stage and there was no solid group to step on to. Kurt screamed and fell backwards off the stage, his entire body except for his mouth paralyzed with fear. He heard the rest of New Directions gasp, and closed his eyes, preparing himself for the harsh impact of hitting the group 6 feet below.
It didn't come.
Kurt opened his eyes to find himself being tightly held in none other but Blaine's arms, bridal style. To his utter horror, Kurt found he was clutching Blaine's shirt with both hands. Blaine was smirking, but his eyes were worried.
"You okay, Kurt?" Kurt almost melted at the sound of Blaine's voice so close to his ears.
"Uh, yeah. Never better," Kurt squeaked out. He heard New Directions let out a collective sigh of relief. Kurt suddenly became aware of the muscular arms that surrounded him, holding Kurt's full weight easily.
"O-kay…let's go back to the chorus room to avoid any more possible injuries. We'll continue our lesson of safe ground." Mr. Schuester started to walk out of the auditorium, with everyone trailing behind him. The band tiptoed out, a cloud of guilt hovering over them (especially the bass drum player). Everyone except for Kurt and Blaine, that is.
"Um, Blaine? You can put me down now." Kurt said, his face lightening from tomato red to a soft Cortland apple shade.
"Oh, yeah! There you go, Kurt." Blaine gently set Kurt down on his feet, and kept his arms near Kurt while he waited for the younger teen to steady himself. "Oh, and really, really nice job on the song. It's one of my favorites." Blaine smiled, his deep brown eyes resting on Kurt's bright blue ones. The two stared at each other, neither one willing to break the eye contact.
"Guys! You coming?" Mercedes' voice floated into the auditorium, and the two looked away awkwardly.
"Uh, let's go back," Kurt said, nervously refusing to look at Blaine. Man, the boy really was sex on a stick.
"If you say so, Kurt," Blaine replied, gesturing to Kurt told lead the way out of the auditorium. When they reached the double doors, Blaine jumped ahead and gallantly held the doors open for Kurt, who ran though, his head bowed low to hide his ever-constant blush. He could hear Blain laughing at him knowingly, and Kurt literally sprinted back to the chorus room.
Well, this looked like the start of a very interesting friendship.
I'm definitely going to continue this story, because I kind of like it. Please review with any comments; I really appreciate them. I know a bunch of you have been signing up for story alerts, and those are also really nice, but they don't offer any ideas or suggestions for how to improve my writing like reviews do, so please, take a little extra time to review! The chapters will come out much faster.
