Okay kitties. So this got taken down because posting a thank you chapter violates FF rules (My bad) So I'm reposting now. I'm keeping all of my original author's note though.
COMEWHATMAY COMEWHAT MAY COMEWHATMAY
A little based on spoilers and then what I want to happen.
Here it is, Chapter 1. Enjoy!
Kurt's not sure what to think. Blaine couldn't be here. They were snowed in and a car couldn't pass the street so there is no logical explanation how Blaine could be here.
But Kurt wanted to believe, so this time, he let himself.
There was a soft orange hue emitted from his surroundings. Dozens, hundreds? of paper lanterns surrounded him in various shades of red to yellow, all candle-lit and glowing. Twinkling lights were hung along the fenced off roof, throwing the orange streams of light across the building. A canopy was set up, with rich red drapes which made Kurt feel like he just stepped into a musical. Wait, what, wasn't that the song?
Kurt stops his train of thought. Believe. He reminded himself. He stole a deep breath and saw the unmistakable head of gel looking away from him, but what happened next surpassed anything he could ever imagine.
He was rooted to the spot, stuck where he was. Kurt knew that this wasn`t his cue yet. He`s trying so hard but all he wants to do is launch himself at Blaine, his back still turned to him. Blaine stood at the corner of the building, as far as he could possibly be from Kurt in that moment.
A string chortette started playing. He knew there wasn`t one there, but it was playing. It didn`t seem to have a source and his breath caught in his throat at the first notes played out. The violins picked up slowly and played a smooth hymn as Blaine looked up to the New York sky before him. He sang so smoothly, it melded into the song romantically.
Never knew, I could feel like this
His words so sincere, it almost broke Kurt`s heart hearing it. The violins only emphasizing the way his voice could capture any emotion.
Like I`ve never seen the sky before
Want to vanish, inside your kiss
Blaine continued his serenade to the starry night sky, his hands loosely holding onto the fenced off roof. Kurt silently begged for him to turn so that he could see his hazel eyes. As if Kurt`s silent prayer was answered, Blaine did turn, his body facing Kurt while his eyes looked towards his left hand. On his ring finger sat a perfect circle of white gold.
"Look at me," thought Kurt. "Please just look at me." He found he was suddenly able to move as he approached Blaine, but it felt somehow wrong. Instead he slowly walked over to the canopy and ran his hand down the rich curtain covering a pedestal. He somehow knew that if he moved too fast too soon, this would all end.
Blaine finally did look up, but not at him. Once again he gazed at the night sky at he slowly made his way over to the canopy as well. The orange lights caused his face to take on a fiery glow; he had never looked more beautiful.
Seasons may change, winter to spring
He slowly gazed down from the sky, his eyes moving before his head did to land on Kurt. He was not prepared for what he saw.
But I love you,
Blaine boldly gazed at him, refusing to lose eye contact with Kurt for even just a moment. The intensity of the moment filled Kurt and suddenly he wasn`t ready for this. He wanted to desperately look away, to find a distraction. Blaine`s hazel orbs held his own, and Kurt knew that there was no turning back as the next words rang out.
Until the end of time.
Come what may,
Blaine`s eyes became glassy as he sang, filling with tears. Kurt felt his own sting but didn`t let it show. That`s always how it was. Blaine wore his heart on his sleeve while Kurt was always more cautious, afraid of falling too deep too fast. Blaine had never been afraid, he embraced it.
Come what may,
I will love you,
His eyes overflowed and Kurt did everything he could to stop his own.
Until my dying day.
And Kurt knew that this was a promise, a promise Blaine made long ago when they were both too young and naive to really know what it meant. They still were as they stood across from each other, Kurt knowing that he was too choked up to actually sing, just trusting in this fantasy that it wouldn`t matter. Really, it wouldn`t have mattered if it had been real either.
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace.
The distance between them shortened as they began to slowly circle each other. Eyes never leaving, but bodies not close enough to touch; with what seemed to be forever, stuck in this dance of should we.
Suddenly my life doesn`t seem such a waste.
Their voices always melded together perfectly before, and this was no exception. They knew what the other was thinking with simply their eyes. That`s what they lost back in the fall, the ability to see each other communicating.
It all revolves around you.
They stopped revolving and just looked at each other. No longer stuck in their dance; but both too afraid to break this spell; to bridge the gap between them.
And there`s no mountain too high, no river too wide.
A dusting of fog slowly creeped over the fenced-off roof; invading their space, but not interrupting their gaze.
Sing out this song and I`ll be there by your side.
They walk in tandem, moving across the building, stuck in their dance once again. But this time, it won`t stop them. Kurt moving back and Blaine trying to get closer. It came to Kurt as he blindly led them around the pavilion, that the fear of getting hurt doesn`t make you weak, it only makes you alone.
Storm clouds may gather and starts may collide
But I love you
Kurt had to get the words out first, and he knew if this was real then they would`ve stumbled into each other, would have messed up, but this moment continued seamlessly. The fog moved out of the way as they continued their path.
I love you
Of course he does, he told Kurt the moment he knew. It never fails to make Kurt feel like he`s at home.
Until the end, until the end, of time, of time
Kurt stopped moving away, allowing Blaine in closer than before. The music carried their voices passionately as they sang together one last time.
Come what may
Come what may
Kurt knew he was crying now, and that his face was red and splotchy but he didn`t care. Because Blaine was here, he wasn`t going anywhere.
I will love you
I will love you
Their voices slowly faded out as Kurt reached forward to wrap his arms around Blaine`s shoulders like he always did. Kurt wasn`t even distracted by the white gold circle on his left hand, but as he closed his eyes to lean his chin on Blaine`s shoulder, his arms found nothing but air. Blaine was gone, and there were no lanterns or twinkling lights or music or rings. He was alone. Kurt closed his eyes again as he felt the fog consumed him.
He wakes slowly, eyes flitting lightly, the words "I love you" on the tip of his tongue. The problem is, he's in the wrong place, in the wrong arms, listening to the wrong song. El Tango De Roxanne is beautiful, but it's not what he's thinking of. As he feels Adam's chest move with each inhale and exhale, all he wants to do is cry because he's in love with his best friend and he has no idea what to do now.
Kurt had been wrong. He thought he couldn`t have imagined this, but he did. Every last moment. His heart stung painfully because he finally knew what it all meant.
Okay, so this is officially the end of the first chapter. More to come. I`ve edited around the rough draft a lot. I`m guessing this story will be four chapters total. So three more to go, a chapter a day. All will be up before the episode airs. Thank you to everyone who favourited my rough work!
Sincerely,
