Hey, guys!
I was so happy to get such great reviews for my first Niff story; thank you all!
Because you have made me so happy, here is another Niff fic for you. It's really short, I know, but I might put up another soon after. I don't know if I can get internet where I'm going for vacation, but I'll try. :)
Hope you enjoy!
Auditions
"...Nick"
Well there's a shocker.
Beside me, I see Nick smiling like a maniac, ecstatic.
It's not like he's never gotten a solo before. In fact, he's had four already. I know. I've counted.
I knew he'd get his one. How did I know? Well, I made it so, that's how.
Ever since I met him I've done just about everything I could to see him smile. I saw it my first day at Dalton, when Principal Ericson assigned an older student to show me around. As soon as he smiled at me, I knew I was going to like him.
I fake disappointment as Blaine pats my shoulder in comfort. I'm not disappointed. I wanted this.
Everybody thinks I'm just a bad soloist. After all, who fails over and over again and not be bad? But what they don't know is how I can hit that note. I do remember that lyric. And I would love to get a solo. I really would.
But, what no one knows is why I stay sharp on purpose, or why I deliberately sing the wrong line.
The truth is I could get almost all the solos in the club. Easily.
But I don't want them. I don't need them.
All I need is to see that beautiful face smiling at me, and I'll know it was all worth it. Because as much as I love singing, and as much as I want a solo, I love Nick more. And I'll do anything for him.
So who cares if I'm the only Warbler in history with six (now seven) consecutively failed auditions? So what if I'm the butt of every joke?
As long as I can go back to my dorm, lock the door, and spend the night wrapped in Nick's arms with his lips mine, I'll give up all the solos in the world. Because I love him, and I'd give anything to make him smile.
