Disclaimer: I do not own Glee. Or "Courage Is" by the Strange Familiar. Sad day.
Kurt burst into the McKinley high auditorium and ran down the middle aisle, tears running down his pale cheeks. He ran up the steps and dashed to the middle of the stage. Kurt sat down and sat cross-legged. He put his head in his hands and sobbed.
Blaine had promised. Blaine promised he would never leave Kurt. He said he cared too much for Kurt to ever hurt him. He lied.
Kurt continued sobbing into his hands, remembering when Blaine had prmised him that he would never leave. They had been sitting on Kurt's bed, Blaine whispering sweet nothings into his ear. Blaine had whispered, "I love you. I'll never leave you." Kurt shook his head fiercely and stood up, trying to rid his mind of the memory. He scanned the seats below. He was alone. Again.
Tears still fell. His heart still wrenched. Courage Blaine's voice entered Kurt's head uninvited. He almost collapsed again. More tears fell. The grip around his heart tightened. Kurt steadied himself and walked over to the piano. He plopped himself in the seat heavily and tried to steady his breathing as he placed his trembling hands on the keys. He played the first familiar keys.
Take all my vicious words and turn them into something good.
Kurt's voice cracked on the last word. He cleared his throat and continued where he left off.
Take all my preconceptions and let the truth be understood.
Take all my prized possessions. Leave only what I need.
Take all my pieces of doubt and let me be what's underneath.
Courage is when you're afraid but you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain but you keep on living anyway.
Kurt couldn't take this any longer. He stopped playing and let go.
(Break)
Blaine angrily stormed out of the school and stomped across the lawn. He jumped in his car and ran a hand through his curls. They came out of their gel hold but he couldn't care less. Blaine let his head fall against the wheel.
How could this happen? Blaine and Kurt had been so happy. Now they had a fight over Rachel Berry. The last time they fought about Rachel Berry...Blaine shook his head. He really didn't want to think of the Rachel Berry House Party Train Wreck Extravaganza right now.
Mr. Schue had put Rachel and Blaine together for a duet against their will. Of course their teacher had no idea about what had happened between the two and when Blaine had protested, had simply put up a hand to get them to stop and said that their voices would go together perfectly. Yeah, they knew that.
Now they had been practicing every day after school for the past two weeks. Rachel was a little too happy about the duet. He didn't know why...
He really was that oblivious, wasn't he?
Blaine jumped out of the car and dashed back into the school, realizing his mistake.
(Flashback Scene)
"Blaine!" Blaine was walking quickly down the hall, trying to get to the practice with Rachel. He turned and saw Kurt trying to catch up. Blaine stopped and smiled.
"Blaine!" Kurt reapeated, catching up to his boyfriend. Boyfriend. He loved the way that sounded. He was breathless from running down the hall.
"So, Blaine." Kurt said, linking his arm through Blaine's.
"Are you busy? I was wondering if you wanted to come over and watch Moulin Rouge with me." Blaine's smile faltered.
"Sorry, Kurt. I have to practice with Rachel." Blaine felt Kurt pull away.
"Yeah. Rachel. Whatever." Kurt hissed and walked off.
"No! Kurt! Wait!" Blaine called, running after the brunette. Once in the empty choir room, Kurt spun around.
"Why do you have to go practice with Rachel again? We haven't hung out outside of school in two weeks! Two weeks, Blaine!" Kurt demanded, a quite angry glare on his face. Blaine was shocked.
"Woah, Scary Kurt...Look you have to understand-" He was cut off.
"Oh I understand perfectly, Blaine Anderson! Rachel still hasn't gotten over that stupid kiss at her party! She still hasn't gotten over you!" Kurt fired at him.
"We weren't even together then! And Rachel and I were never together!" Blaine shot back. Kurt flinched.
"Oh she thought you two were! After that date!" Blaine became angered.
"Excuse me? Do i sense jealousy?" Blaine snapped. Kurt flinched again and threw his hands up in the air in defeat.
"Yes Blaine! I'm jealous! Rachel has always gotten what I've wanted. From boys to solos! I've never won against her, Blaine. And I don't want to lose you to HER!" Kurt fought back. Blaine just shook his head.
"Well you just did. I can't be with someone who is constantly jealous over nothing! We're over!" Blaine shouted and ran out of the room, leaving a crying Kurt in his dust.
(End of Flashback scene)
Blaine slowly opened the door to the auditorium and was met with music and a high voice that could only be Kurt's.
Courage is when you're in pain but you keep on living anyway.
We all have excusing why.
Living in fear
Something in us dies.
Blaine closed the door silently behind him and took a seat to listen.
Like a bird with broken wings it's not how high he flies but the song he sings.
(Break)
Kurt didn't notice Blaine walk in. He still thought he was alone.
Courage is when you're afraid but you keep on moving anyway.
Courage is when you're in pain but you keep on living anyway.
Courage is when you've lost your way
But you find your strength anyway.
Courage is when you're afraid.
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change
But you keep on living anyway.
Kurt stopped and rose from the piano. He started walking quickly across the stage but was stopped as he heard clapping from the seats. He spun around and saw Blaine walking down the aisle, clapping. Kurt frowned.
"Go away, Blaine. I don't want to see you." Kurt remarked, trying to sound brave. He was certain he sounded as bad as he felt. Blaine seemed to ignore Kurt's broken statement.
"Courage Is by the Strange Familiar. Nice choice. It fits your voice perfectly..." Blaine trailed off, stuck his hands in his pockets and joined Kurt onstage. Kurt took a few steps backward.
"What do you want Blaine?" Kurt demanded. Blaine shook his head and then locked eyes with Kurt.
"I'm sorry. I made a mistake saying those things." Blaine whispered. Kurt almost let himself melt. But he stopped himself.
"I don't care Blaine. You made a huge mistake. Yeah, I'm jealous. But can you honestly blame me?" Kurt snapped. Blaine shook his head again.
"I don't blame you Kurt. Honestly. I think you are right about Rachel. I blew her off." Blaine said and took Kurt's hands in his quickly. Kurt struggled but Blaine only tightened his grip. Kurt opened his mouth to say something.
"God damn it Kurt! I love you and I'm sorry!" Blaine yelled forcefully. Kurt kind of gasped and more tears fell. He let Blaine pull him into a tight embrace. Giving in, he felt himself melt in Blaine's arms. Blaine kissed the top of his head and murmured into Kurt's hair.
"Do you forgive me?" Kurt just nodded and said something that sounded like, "I'm sorry too." But it was muffled. Kurt then raised his head and closed the short distance between their lips. Blaine smiled against the kiss. Before Blaine could deepen the kiss anymore, Kurt broke it. Blaine made a sound that sounded like a helpless whimper. Kurt giggled.
"I love you." Blaine whispered.
And Kurt believed him.
A/N: Okay I'm not extremely happy with this fic. It was meant to be sad and depressing but I guess I can't write like that. As you can tell, I love me some fluff.
But on a different note, I'm really sorry about Music Love and Other Dangerous Things. Honestly, that isn't going to work out. I don't think i can manage a chaptered fic right now. Drabbles and one-shots work better for me.
EHMAGAWD.
KLAINE. IS. CANON. YAY! Finally! Ryan Murphy answered our prayers! XD
Please excuse any mistakes! Review please!
