A/N: Hey again! So here's a new one. It's probably still going to be on the short side but I will be putting it out as multiple chapter because it would still be a pretty long one-shot. I felt like writing (a very new feeling for me) and I didn't really have an solid ideas so I just sort of started. Anyway, here you are, enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee or it's character.
Play Something
"Play something for me?"
Kurt pats to spot beside him on the piano bench when he finishes playing his random tune. I look up over my textbook at the piano. I play it every single day, yet Kurt's question still puts butterflies in my stomach, because I've never played with anyone listening. It must be extremely weird, I mean, I can sing in front of huge crowds easily. As much as I hate to bring it up, I can spontaneously sing my heart out to boy I barely knew at the Gap! I love performing, so why can't I -
"Blaine?" Kurt prompts.
"Uh," I can't. No way. For me, piano is different. It's so personal to me, and even though I trust Kurt with my life, I just can't yet. "Another time, maybe? I really have to study this stuff, I have a test tomorrow."
Kurt smiles softly at me and nods, swinging his legs over the bench and shuffling over to the couch. He moves my collection of textbooks and binders and sets them on the coffee table beside me. He sits at my feet lifting them to rest across his lap, absently rubbing his thumb over my knee.
"Can I help?" He asks as he steals the book from my hands.
I laugh while he skims the page recalling what I'm studying. "Yes, that would be great, Kurt." He sneaks a smile in my direction and leans over to press a quick kiss to my lips. I smile back and he settles back on the couch focused on the textbook once more.
"Alrighty! Where shall we begin?"
Later that week, I get to school earlier than usual. Kurt isn't there yet so I just wait at my locker flipping through a random notebook. When I hear quick footsteps getting closer I look up to see Rachel Berry rushing towards me. "Good morning Blaine and how are we doing on this fine day? Good! Listen, I need you to do something with me for glee club."
I slowly close my book and try to process what she just said. It's why too early for my brain to process anything let alone someone talking that fast. "Um, hey Rachel. Yeah glee, sure, what do you need?"
"Well, I just overheard Brad talking to Mr. Schue about taking some time off in a few weeks and I'm sure you understand how that affects us. I was planning on singing a selection from one of my all time favourite productions Les Mis. I know you play so I need you to help me with this one."
Okay, now I'm listening.
"Rachel, I don't think that's a great idea, I mean why don't you ask Tina? She's amazing and I'm sure should would do a much better job than I would." Please, please, please ask Tina!
"Oh come on Blaine! The glee club knows you are a very talented vocalist and performer but we've never heard you play! Well, I'm sure Kurt has, but anyway I think this is the perfect opportunity to show us what you can do! I know you can do it! I'll bring a copy of the sheet music to glee today so you can practise! Thanks Blaine, you're the best!" She gives me a quick hug and walks away down the hall.
Great, how am I going to get out of this one?
A/N: Why is Blaine nervous to play in front of people? You'll find out soon enough!
I'm not a performer but I have been playing the piano for years. I have a really hard time playing for anybody, I don't even like playing with other people in the house. That's where this idea sort of came from, the only difference is Blaine at least has some short of performing ability! Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more! I'd love to read any reviews! :)
