T-Shirt Slogans
Kurt was standing by the printing machine in the choir room, white t-shirt in hand, trying to think of a slogan. The list of things he didn't like about himself was endless, and ranged from trivial to even more trivial, disliking the fact he burnt to a crisp in direct sunlight if he didn't apply factor 50 was not going to fit on the shirt for a start.
'So Kurt, what did you want putting on your shirt?' Mr Shue asked.
'I don't know yet.' Kurt replied, looking a bit lost.
Blaine would know what to do in this situation, that much Kurt knew, but Blaine wasn't here, he was back in Westerville at Dalton singing acapella with no concern for the parts of himself he didn't like.
'Well don't worry Kurt.' Mr Shue replied. 'Keep thinking and we can print yours tomorrow.'
Rachel as chipper as ever was wearing a shirt with NOSE printed across it and an expression on her face that said she wanted to talk to Kurt and 'help' with his dilemma and conversations like this never ended well in Kurt's opinion. Just as he was beginning to brace himself for some of Rachel's constructive criticism Teenage Dream started blasting from the bottom of his bag.
'Hi Blaine, what can I do for you?' Kurt asked as he answered his phone and turned his back on the slightly pouting expression on Rachel's face. Blaine was chuckling lightly down the phone sending shivers up Kurt's spine.
'I was just wondering how your Glee project was going. I bet your having trouble finding something you don't like about yourself.' Kurt began to go red in the face before he had a thought.
'Blaine, can you think of something I could use? I know it's a big ask but even just a few ideas would help.'
There was some nervous laughter from the other end of the line before Blaine responded. 'I'm definitely not going there again after the last time I gave you advice and you didn't talk to me for days. I had a very awkward conversation with your father you know.'
It was like a light-bulb went off in Kurt's brain, suddenly he had the perfect idea. 'Blaine you a genius, no how can I fit 'Complete lack of sexual knowledge, experience and confidence with sexy faces that look like gas pains' onto a t-shirt and have any shirt left.
Mr Shue was amazed at Kurt's openness for this project after expecting something jokey or insignificant and Miss Pilsbury looked horrified at the idea of using the printing machine for the word sex in any way, shape or form but after some discussion Kurt was pleased with the result. Blaine had snuck into the auditorium to watch the performance at his boyfriends request and was amazed at the number. He didn't miss the irony of Kurt giving the sexiest performance of his life whist wearing a shirt with the word UNSEXY proudly displayed across the chest, it made him feel his gesture of making his own shirt paled in significance as his CURLS really didn't seem like such a big deal when his boyfriend was looking like that.
