I suppose I should say I don't own Glee. ( Of course not, right?) Also, this story idea randomly popped in my head, and I had to write it. :)
The time on this will seem a little confusing, but it will be after the Superbowl episode and Kurt came back to Mckinley earlier.
As usual, the bell rang, and the students of Mckinley High all went to their respective destinations. Whether that is a club, their house, or an alleyway somewhere, it was a place. Every student had somewhere to go after school, and for Kurt Hummel, that was Glee Club.
It was the only thing he looked forward to most days, especially Mondays. True, all the students separated into their own groups, but they all had the same thought in common: Monday sucked.
Walking into the club fashionably late (how else would Kurt arrive?), Kurt took a seat next to his best friend Mercedes, whom he shared a special handshake with. Despite the fact Kurt was never there precisely on time, he was never there super late, and he was never last to come. The only people in there besides him were Mercedes, as mentioned, Rachel, Sam, Tina, Mike, Quinn and Finn. Artie, Brittany, Santanna, Puck, Lauren, and their own teacher Mr. Schuester was missing.
Soon they all shuffled in at their own pace with some weird excuse for not being there.
"I had to do something…"
"I had to help him."
"I forgot where this room was."
"I let her take me here."
"I just showed up late"
Their excuses hardly mattered though, because it was their club adviser, Mr. Schuester who showed up the latest of all.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late." Will threw his stuff down and then walked over to the board, his usual spot of the week. Opening a marker, he scribbled one word across the board.
'TOGETHERNESS'
"Uh… Mr. Schue, is that really a topic?" Finn asked, looking confused. He wasn't the only one.
"Yes Finn, it has come to my attention that this club doesn't know how to work together."
"What are you talking about ? We duet fine."
"No, no that isn't what I meant. In general you guys argue too much, and not just with each other. With these guys as well." Mr. Schue swept his hand out as though he were presenting the door, and then the entire football team shuffled in. Everyone looked horrified. The last time this happened, the Glee club had become the football team. Sure, they may have bonded for a few seconds, but they could never really work together.
Loudly, everyone started to protest. They got into instant arguments with the football players whose natural instinct it was to yell back. It wasn't until Coach Beiste walked in and yelled at all of them that they quieted down.
"I am disappointed in you guys! Come on. This is precisely why we are starting this project. It will be lasting the month." Will threw in the last tidbit before the expected roar came once more.
Everyone freaked out; neither group wanted to see each other for a minute, how could they face each other a month? Again, they had to all be settled down again so Will could continue.
"Guys Guys! Listen up. This is a background project, so we will do lessons for the week per usual, alright? Now, Coach Beiste and I have devised this plan and we all have your parent's consent already."
This time nobody said anything; they wanted to hear exactly what their parents had agreed to for them. So they could remember to kill them later.
"All your parents agreed that this is good idea. Ever hear of adopt a brother? Well you guys are doing adopt a Glee Club member. For a month, each football player is assigned a Glee club member to get along with."
Instantly, the protests came, louder then ever.
"What! Neither of my dads would have agreed to anything like that!"
"Mr. Schue, that's wack."
"Can we adopt other members of the club? We're on the football team too."
A variety of complaints came, but the louder part of them had actually come from the Glee Club. The football players didn't look too thrilled either however, and had their good share of protests. After everything got settled again, Kurt was the lone voice to be heard by Mr. Schue .
"… did my dad really agree to this?" Everyone turned to look at him, a slight glare directed towards Karofsky from the Glee kids in the process.
"Yes, Kurt… we all agreed and decided. You are paired with David Karofsky."
Kurt felt everyone around him disappear for a second, even the noise. All that was left in that room was him, and his new football player owner. He turned to look at him, and Karofsky turned to glance at him in return. They both looked horrified.
The noise returned in a flash as everyone started yelling at Mr. Schuester for Kurt's sake. Everyone except Kurt himself, who had gone deadly silent.
He couldn't concentrate for the rest of the club. He figured he already knew all he needed to know about this assignment, so there was no point in listening. He was a little concerned to see who his friends got partnered with, but he couldn't bring himself to listen. The only thing he did seem to notice was that hadn't agreed to let them partner with each other as Glee kid and a football player. They all counted as the Glee Club, if they were in it.
This was horrible, Kurt felt almost as though he couldn't breathe. There was no way he could hang out with David Karofsky for a whole month. No way.
