Mcklainly High
Chapter 1 – Transitions
"Are you ready for this?" Kurt asked as he took Blaine's hand. They were standing out the front of William McKinley High School.
"As ready as I could ever be," Blaine replied and took a deep breath and started towards the front doors. Kurt smiled softly and let Blaine pull him towards the two big doors. "Courage Blaine" Kurt whispered so only Blaine could hear who gently smiled back at Kurt
Today was the first day of school. But not any first day of school, this was the first day back for Kurt who was returning to his old school. He wasn't alone either. Over the holidays Kurt had convinced his new boyfriend to transfer from their old school, Dalton Academy for Boys to William McKinley High. Blaine had been a little weary about Kurt returning to his old school after what he had faced before he moved to Dalton. Kurt's problem was still at McKinley but hopefully with two openly gay kids at the school would reduce the tormenting and bullying.
The corridors were aligned with people going through their lockers. Kurt recognised most of the faces but there were still a few unfamiliar faces, new students. "The admin is straight down there and then to the left," Kurt told Blaine. "I'll see you at lunch" And with that Kurt gave Blaine a quick kiss on the cheek, while no one was watching and walked off towards another corridor. Blaine stood alone in the corridor and sighed. He took a breath and headed towards Admin.
Administration was only a small room. Blaine quietly walked to the front counter. "Hi, I'm new. I was wondering if I could pick up my timetable."
"Yes, I'm guessing your Mr Blaine Anderson. This is your timetable" the office lady said as she pointed towards a sheet of paper. "Homeroom is in the math block – classroom 17. Here I'll get you a map" The office lady got up and walked into another room. This was the first time Blaine could actually take in his surroundings. He looked down the hallway from which he came. The bell had gone so most people were in Homeroom. Every so often someone would run past, obviously late.
Blaine returned his gazed to his timetable when the office lady came back in with the map. Blaine thanked the lady and headed of towards his first class.
Kurt had only left Blaine for a minute, but already it felt like he had been split into two. He hoped Blaine was okay. He opened his locker which he had been given back on his return to school. He looked through it. He piled his junk into it, thinking he'll sort it out later, but grabbed out his photo of Blaine (in the Dalton Academy uniform) and newspaper collage (which spelt out 'Courage')and pinned it to the inside of the door. He also pinned a few photos of his friends at Dalton Academy and the prized Warbler that had died and brought Blaine and Kurt together.
Just as he was closing the locker, he was attacked by his friends. All the girls grabbed him and hugged, while the boys tried not to laugh as he uncomfortably tried to all hug them back without putting creases in his clothes.
"Welcome back, Kurt! We've missed you!" Tina cried out with joy.
Rachel had grabbed Kurt and was already trying to find out what Dalton had planned for Sectionals this year. "Look this is the first day back to school, I don't know what they are planning. They would have decided today." Kurt sighed. He had forgotten how competitive Rachel was. Mercedes was staring at Kurt. "What is it Mercedes?"
"Where is he? When do we get to officially meet your boyfriend?"
"He's gone to Admin to get his timetable. He's new so they couldn't mail his timetable out. Seeing's they know my address, I got mine in the mail. You won't see him till lunch unless you're in his classes" Kurt sighed knowing that Blaine wouldn't be in any of his classes till maybe after lunch, "Brittany, can you please stop hugging me, your ruining my shirt"
"You're like a teddy bear." Brittany let go just as the bell for homeroom went.
Calculus was tough, but Blaine didn't mind. Back at Dalton he had excelled in most of his subjects. He stared off out of the window and the teachers talking drowned out. "At leasts its break next" he thought to himself. This was his second class and unlike his first class he was not introduced and embarrassed. There had been no familiar faces in either of his classes so far. No Finn, or Kurt. He slowly turned back to the front where he was greeted with a stare from not just the teacher, Mr Turner, but the whole class. "Mr Anderson, I will say it again, please come up to the front and solve the problem"
Blaine quickly stood up and started towards the front of the class. He was nearly to the front he tripped and fell over someone's foot. The whole class started laughing as Blaine slowly pulled himself off the ground. Blaine was halfway up when the bell went. The kids in the class stood up and walked out the door for lunch. Some of them shoved Blaine back down as they went, laughing and joking. The last boy offered Blaine a hand up. "Hi, I'm Milo. Sorry bout them. You're the new guy who's dating Kurt Hummel, aren't you?" Blaine took the outstretched hand and was pulled up.
"Yer, thanks."
"Well, I'll see you around Blaine" Milo said and walked out the door. Blaine quickly picked up his books and walked out the door. Blaine scanned the hallway. No sign of Finn or Kurt. He turned left and hurried towards the cafeteria. Just when he was about to enter the Cafeteria he spied a room, he entered and saw a massive piano and a few guitars in the centre. Blaine closed the door behind him.
Blaine let his fingers slide over the piano as he went and picked up a guitar.
Waking up at the start of the end of the world,
But it's feeling just like every other morning before,
Now I wonder what my life is going to mean if it's gone,
The cars are moving like a half a mile an hour
And I started staring at the passengers who're waving goodbye
Can you tell me what was ever really special about me all this time?
Blaine played with all his heart his fingers moving with the rhythm.
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I believe it all is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Kurt was sitting at lunch. Worried. His boyfriend hadn't turned up. He had hoped that Blaine was okay.
I think it turned ten o'clock but I don't really know
And I can't remember caring for an hour or so
Started crying and I couldn't stop myself
I started running but there's nowhere to run to
I sat down on the street took a look at myself
Said where you going man you know the world is headed for hell
Say your goodbyes if you've got someone you can say goodbye to
"That's it," Kurt said to his friends, "let's go find Blaine and make sure he's okay" With that Kurt stood up from the table and began to walk to the door. All his friends stood and followed him.
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
"o my gosh. Is that him singing?" Rachel asked as they walked out of the cafeteria. The sound was coming from the choir room. "I think we have found a new lead singer"
"WHAT!" Finn looked at Rachel. The glee cast ran to the door and looked through the window.
"Hey let me see—"
"No me" They were all trying to peer through the small window in the door.
It's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
It was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Well it's gone, gone, baby, it's all gone
There is no one on the corner and there's no one at home
Well it was cool cool, it was just all cool
Now it's over for me and it's over for you
Blaine continued to play letting the song come to an end.
I believe the world is burning to the ground
Oh well I guess we're gonna find out
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Well I, believe, it all, is coming to an end
Oh well, I guess, we're gonna pretend,
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Let's see how far we've come
Blaine put the guitar down on its stand and turned to see 6 eyes staring back at him. At least there were two pair's familiar eyes. His eyes stopped on to the ones he loved. The boy smiled back at him and pushed through his friends and ran over to hug him. "Hey guys, this is my boyfriend, Blaine Anderson" Kurt said smiling hard. He took Blaine's hand in his and slightly squeezed it so only Blaine noticed.
Chapter 2 - The Grand Piano
"I can't believe you heard that. I was sure no one could hear me" Blaine smiled slightly and turned slightly pink, embarrassed. "Now they want me to audition for New Directions. I'm not sure I could do that. It would mean game on between the New Directions and the Warblers and I don't know if I could do that." Kurt smiled at the boy sitting next to him as he drove towards Blaine's house.
"Come on, you can't tell me you don't want to sing and dance. Any way they only want to you to audition so you can sing in front of them again. You're basically already a New Direction even if Mr Shue hasn't heard you. And between you and me, it sounds like Finn might be having run for his money. Rachel wants you to be the new male lead."
"Arg. I don't want you guys to just go around and replace people, Finn was there first and he is way better than me"
"Sweetie, your better than him at singing and dancing"
"You have to say that. I'm your boyfriend"
"Hey guys, you do realise I'm still here right?" Finn said from the back. Blaine and Kurt started laughing. "Thanks Blaine, for sticking up for me"
"No problem, Finn" Blaine smiled trying not to laugh. With that Kurt pulled into Blaine's driveway. Blaine started getting out of the car when Kurt turned it off.
Blaine turned to his boyfriend, "Okay, come on." He smirked and went around the other side and opened Kurt's door for him. Kurt took Blaine's offering hand and hoped out. Finn jumped over into the driver's seat.
"I'll see you when you get home then, Kurt. Behave yourself." This made the two lovers laugh. "See you tomorrow Blaine."
"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow." And with that Blaine grabbed Kurt's bag and put it on his shoulder, took Kurt's hand and lead him towards the front door. Kurt smiled and let himself be pulled along. They waved as Finn drove away before entering the house.
The house was bigger than what Kurt had expected. It was two-story and looked extremely posh inside with the wooden flooring. Neither of Blaine's parents was home as they both had full time jobs. Blaine dragged Kurt through the lounge room and up the stairs. Kurt looked at his surroundings. This house was luxury compared to his house.
Entering Blaine's room, Kurt expected to see what most 17 year old kids have on their walls, posters of rock bands, hot girls, football (well at least that's what Finn has in his room), but not in Blaine's room. It was covered in Starkid production posters. Kurt gaped. "You like Starkid productions. No way"
Blaine laughed "Yes I do, but were not here to talk about the productions as supermegafoxyawesomehot they are. We're here to decided what I'm going to sing for my auditions" as he nudged Kurt away from the posters. Kurt looked around the room and noticed how big it was. Not only were there a double bed, a couch and a desk in the room but a grand piano, guitar and a drum set. Kurt lied down on the bed and looked at Blaine who was just standing there.
"Come on, let's hear something." Kurt smiled up at him. "Should I go and get some popcorn for this performance"
Blaine laughed and raced over and started tickling Kurt. "Stop it" Kurt managed to say in between all the giggling. Blaine sat up and pulled Kurt up with him.
"Okay, if you want me to 'preform' for you, then you must accept that I will be singing to you not at you" This made Kurt blush bright red. Blaine got up before Kurt could stop him and went over and sat at the piano which, ironically, faced that bed. From where Blaine sat at the piano, he could easily serenade Kurt. "I'm going to sing you the song that I wanted to sing to you the first time we met."
Blaine's hands glided over the piano making a soft melody. Blaine started to sing, his voice hitting just the right notes.
I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see
Kurt blushed bright red. He grabbed one of Blaine's pillows and hid his head into it, but the boy at the piano just smiled and continued to serenade the boy.
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
Kurt looked up from the pillow to see the boy staring at him singing with all his heart. Kurt threw the pillow, which Blaine dodged with ease not even stopping the music as he did.
Now I know it ain't easy
But it ain't hard trying
Every time I see you smiling
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me
Blaine smirked and rose from the piano, the music from the piano stopped, but it wasn't need the boys voice held the melody.
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through
Blaine moved towards the embarrassed boy and pulled him off the bed.
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Trying to make sense of things sometimes
I look for reasons
But I don't need 'em
All I need is to look in your eyes
And I realize
The two of them danced together around the room, Blaine leading. Kurt couldn't help but laugh. The chorus came and both boys sang to each other with as much passion as they could. Their voices drifted away as Blaine returned to the piano with Kurt and finished the song.
Baby I'm not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cause nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through
Kurt sighed and leaned against Blaine. "I love you"
"I love you too" Blaine replied and leant down to kiss Kurt passionately.
Chapter 3 – Boys vs. Girls
"You're going to be great"
"But what happens is Mr Shue doesn't like it" Blaine asked on the way to the choir room.
"He has to. Even if he doesn't most of us in the glee club will make sure you get in. What did I say yesterday? You're basically already in." Kurt grinned as they walked down the hallway holding hands.
"I don't think I chose the right song" groaned Blaine.
"Seriously Blaine, if you don't shut up I will make you shut up." Kurt replied.
"O really, how you going to do that" Blaine replied raising an eyebrow and giving Kurt one of those Super star smiles that he loves. Kurt just blushed and gently punched him in the arm. Kurt led Blaine into the choir room and sat up the back. They continued to hold hands. Mr Shue entered.
"Welcome back guys, and a special welcome to Kurt. It's great to have you back. For you Blaine it's nice to see you and we can't wait to see you audition today."
Blaine just nodded to the teacher. Kurt however, "Thanks it's great to be back"
"Ok so for this week's project, I have decided we're going to do girls versus boys. But the twist is this. The boys will have to choose a song sung by a girl and vice versa for the girls" There were a few moans around the classroom. Kurt and Rachel both sat straight in their chairs, excited and happy to do this project.
"Ok now we've got that out of the way, it's time for you to audition Blaine. Are you ready?"
"Yes thank-you" Blaine replied as he let go Kurt's hand and started down to the front. "oh sir," Blaine asked "can I borrow Finn?"
"Yes you may" Mr Shue replied clearly intrigued. Blaine walked over and picked up and electric guitar and whispered something into Finn's ear. The boy nodded and set up his Drum set. Finn started off, with Blaine following along, plating the melody with the guitar.
There it goes, another one is gone,
Another try, another one is wrong,
But where to go? What is there to say, here?
No one knows I've never really felt
Good about the hand that I've been dealt.
What kind of game is this anyway, here?
I want to make a statement
About the pictures and their awful placement.
I want everyone to see it too.
Blaine picked up the beat and his singing drowned out the exclamation and amazement in the audience.
I tried to be someone,
But I don't know how. I don't know how.
I've tried to be the one,
But it's over now, it's over now.
I can see the loneliness in you.
I know it well, and everybody's got it too.
It's funny how I know I'm not alone. Here.
That's how it seems when I'm walking through the halls;
Everyone has reinforced their walls.
It's no one's fault that the vision ain't at all clear.
Blaine didn't just sing and play his guitar. He played with passion and meaning. The passion drove the glee club crazy. By now New Directions were singing with him and dancing around.
I don't know what is worse than
Feelin' like you're not a person.
I want everyone to sing along.
I tried to be someone
But I don't know how. I don't know how.
I tried to be the one,
But it's over now, it's over...
All I ever wanted was to reach out, reach out
And have somebody take my hand.
All I've ever gotten was locked out, locked out
Nobody would ever understand.
The glee club sung at the top of their voices with spirit. As the song came to a close the glee cast was clapping and cheering.
I tried to be someone.
But I don't know how. I don't know how.
I've tried to be the one,
But it's over now. It's over...
I tried to be someone,
But I don't know how. I don't know how.
I tried to be someone,
But it's over now, it's over.
It's over now, it's over now.
Blaine looked around and smiled at Mr Shue. "Blaine, with that audition, you are defiantly in." Everyone around him broke out with applauding and cheering. Most of them gave him a hug or patted him on the back. Kurt was the last one to hug him "I knew you could do it." Kurt whispered into his ear.
"He's defiantly a keeper, Kurt" Mercedes said and everyone broke into laughter.
"I'll meet you in the cafeteria, okay?" Blaine said to Kurt. Kurt just smiled.
"Okay, I'll see you then. Make sure you come this time. I don't want to have to come and look for you again" Kurt smiled and walked away towards the cafeteria. Blaine turned and walked the opposite way towards his locker. He reached it and opened it and threw his books inside. He was just about to close it when it slammed shut and he was shoved up against the lockers. Everyone around seemed to scatter away. Karofsky grabbed and pulled him towards the football team's locker room.
"Get off me," Blaine struggled with Karofsky.
"You and your boyfriend better not say a damn thing about me or else I'll kill you. Okay?" And with that Karofsky shoved Blaine hard into the sports lockers.
"What is your problem? First you scare Kurt so he leaves and when he's back, you go continue to pressure us not to tell. If we wanted to tell we would have already okay. So just give us a rest" Karofsky swung at him. And it hit the mark.
"How did this happen, Blaine?" Kurt was holding a bag of ice to Blaine's eye.
"Seriously Kurt, it doesn't matter. I just tripped over and my pencil case hit me in the eye."
"Like a pencil case could do you that much damage. What happened?"
"it doesn't matter. It was just a misunderstanding. Stop worrying about me. I'm the one who should be worrying about you" Blaine smiled faintly to Kurt. Kurt could see that it hurt a lot. The bruise was a very dark purple. Blaine picked up his bright pink sunglasses when he saw Kurt looking and placed them over his eyes.
"See, you can't tell it's there when I have these on" Blaine said smiling. It was true, you couldn't tell but then again he did look amazingly handsome with pink sunnies and black curly hair.
"Yeah, but I know it's there." Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him out of the first aid room and down the corridor to their last class.
Chapter 4 – The Letter
"So how's your first week been" Mercedes asked Blaine while they waited for Mr Shue to arrive.
"It's been really good so far, except for Mr Turner piling me up with heaps of homework. It's not as if I haven't answered all his question correctly. " Everyone groaned. They felt sorry for the boys luck. 'English, Boring. Calculus, Boring. The best class is defiantly this one" Blaine smiled at his fellow glee club members.
"This isn't even a class but we know what you mean" replied Quinn who gave Blaine a slight smile, then returned to watch Finn and Rachel hold hands.
"This isn't a class? So that's why nobody turns up here Monday mornings" Brittany looked away thoughtfully as everyone sighed.
"Okay, is everyone ready to preform?" Mr Shue smiled as he walked into the room. Rachel instantly put up her hand and sat up extremely straight. "Yes, Rachel" Mr Shue nodded.
"I request that us, girls go first" The girls seemed to roll their eyes and groan. Mr Shue nodded and Rachel and the other girls stood and made their way to the front. Rachel as usual took the lead.
You're a falling star, You're the get away car.
You're the line in the sand when I go too far.
You're the swimming pool, on an August day.
And you're the perfect thing to say.
And you play it coy, but it's kinda cute.
Ah, When you smile at me you know exactly what you do.
Baby don't pretend, that you don't know it's true.
Cause you can see it when I look at you.
The girls could sing Blaine had to admit. This song was a fantastic choice for them. They put their own twist into it.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're a carousel, you're a wishing well,
And you light me up, when you ring my bell.
You're a mystery, you're from outer space,
You're every minute of my everyday.
And I can't believe, uh that I'm your man,
And I get to kiss you baby just because I can.
Whatever comes our way, ah we'll see it through,
And you know that's what our love can do.
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, You make me sing.
You're every line, you're every word, you're everything.
You're every song, and I sing along.
'Cause you're my everything.
Yeah, yeah
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
So, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
The room exploded into applause as the girls finished. "Wow thank-you girls, Good choice Michael Buble, Everything. Wow okay boys let's see what you can do" Mr Shue said as the girls returned to their chairs. The boys got up slowly, Kurt ran down to the front dragging Blaine with him. This made everyone laugh. Sam and Puck both grabbed electric guitars and slung them over their shoulders. Finn started the drums off with a hard beat. He took the lead and began to sing.
Turn up the music
Let's get out on the floor
I like to move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me gettin' physical
And out of control
There's people watchin' me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cause it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cause it feels like an overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground
Everybody in the club
Evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Everybody in the club
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground
My body's aching
System overload
Temperatures rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicating taking the show
It's got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
The boys danced around the girls pulling some of them out of their chairs and making them dance along. The girls couldn't help it, in between all the laughing they joined in singing and dancing. Mike and Brittany took the floor. Clearly the best dancers.
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cause it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cause it feels like an overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground
Everybody in the club
Evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Everybody in the club
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
Push it to the top
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
You don't have to be afraid
Now guess who's back with a brand new track
That got everybody in the club going mad
So everybody in the back
Get your back up on the wall and just shake that thang
Go crazy, yo lady, yo baby
Let me see you wreck that thang
And drop it down low, low
Let me see you take it to the dancefloor, yo
Everybody in the club
Evacuate the dancefloor
Everybody in the club
I'm infected by the sound
Everybody in the club
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Mr. DJ let the music take me underground

Everybody in the club
Evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Everybody in the club
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey, Mr. DJ let the music take me underground
The song ended. Everyone was cheering, clapping and congratulating their fellow members with how well they did. They then all returned to their seats.
"Wow, I'm very impressed with that marvelous display" Mr Shue said, obviously lost for word. "You guys deserve a break this week, I'll see you next week for your next project." And with that the glee members started to leave.
Blaine and Kurt left the room right after Mercedes and Sam left. Kurt whispered to Blaine as they walked behind the two, "Are they holding hands?" Blaine looked at the hands of the two. They weren't holding hands but they were so close to touching.
"Come on, let them be. Anyway I need to go to my locker." Blaine replied and at the next corridor turned off and headed towards his locker. Kurt followed, smiling to himself as they went.
Blaine stopped at his locker and opened it. A letter fell out. Blaine knelt to pick it up just as Kurt made a squeal of exclamation. "You have a picture of me in your locker,"
Blaine grabbed the letter and stood up. "Yes, are you not my boyfriend?" and shook his head at the boy staring back at him. Kurt embraced him, as though it was only the two of them in the corridor. Blaine was taken by surprise but hug him back just the same. "Calm down" he said softly into the other boys ear. Just then the bell went off for the next period.
"I'll see you after school" Blaine said smiling at Kurt. With that he turned and headed towards his last class. When he had turned the corner he looked back to make sure Kurt wasn't coming and opened the letter. There in big letters were words he thought he would never see again.
Chapter 5 – The Unexpected Arrival
Blaine hated lying to Kurt. He through the letter down on his desk and went over and sat on the couch looking out the window. First it was the incident with Karofsky, now this. The bruise had faded but it still hurt like hell. Blaine gently traced with his hand where the bruise use to be. He couldn't afford Kurt to be hurt again. So far it had been good nobody seemed to have bullied him. Maybe it was because there was another openly gay student at the school. Blaine turned back to the desk where the note lay. Should he burn it? He stood up and opened it up. Maybe he should hold onto it as proof just in case. He sighed an opened it up to read it again. There in a collage was those words again.
YOU THINK YOU CAN COME TO THIS SCHOOL AND STRUT AROUND LIKE YOU DO. IF YOU CONTINUE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET WHAT'S COMING FOR YOU, YOU AND YOUR BOYFRIEND. HE DOESN'T DESERVE YOU. THE DESTROYER WILL GET YOU.
Blaine shoved the note in the bottom draw of his desk. Is this supposed to another death threat from Karofsky? The last sentence scared him the most 'The destroyer will get you.'
The doorbell went with a chime. Blaine quickly ran downstairs. Kurt was early. He opened the door and was attacked by his big sister. "Devin, what are you doing here?" Blaine asked as he hugged her back.
"I'm only here for a while. We've just finished our fourth theatre production, so we got time off"
"That's absurd. You never get time off." Blaine smiled and grabbed her bags from the doorway.
"Your absurd. " She grabbed her baby brother in a headlock and rubbed her fist against his gelled head. He struggled to escape from her grasp. He finally did and closed the front door behind him as he grabbed her bags and took them to her room. It was still the same. It hadn't been touched since she was last there. Devin was five years older than Blaine and was an actress. She was a member of Starkid Productions, the very same of which Blaine had posters of in his room. Devin grabbed her bag and opened it up. She searched through the clothes to pull out a book.
"Here I know how much you love our productions, so here you go, limited edition, sheet music from all our musicals so far." Blaine took the book slowly and opened it up. He nodded and slowly put it down. He lunged at his sister.
"I love it. Thank-you" His sister fought him off laughing. Blaine grabbed the book and raced into his room and sat down at his piano. His sister followed casually in and glanced around and spotted the posters.
"You still have them." She shook her head as she listened to her brother play the music. She has the urge to sing with him, but this was his present so she went and sat down on the couch. Her brother finished the song and looked up at her.
"Thank-you, this is defiantly the best present"
"So… Mum and Dad still working full-time?" Devin asked. She realised only her brother had greeted her.
"Yeah, at least that gives me time to be alone and have some space" Blaine smiled. Just then the doorbell went off, again. Blaine started to blush. "Stay here" Blaine rushed down the stairs followed by his sister who refused to listen to him.
"Ooh Blaine, that kind of alone. Got some girls coming over." She yelled down at him giggling as he opened the door. Kurt leapt into his arms.
"Hey, how are you?" He smiled and looked up, seeing a lady standing behind Blaine mouth agape. He quickly pushed away from Blaine. "Is this a bad time? It's okay I'll leave. " He turned to walk away but Blaine grabbed his hand.
"Devin, I think we might need to talk." Blaine turned to look at her and smiled pulling Kurt towards the stairs.
"Yes I think we do Blaine."
"So neither of our parents know that you gay?" Devin asked. She sat on the piano stool Blaine had pulled over to the couch.
"No. What would they think? I would be disowned for sure. You know how homophobic Dad is. He would freak." Blaine said. He was sitting on the couch hand in hand with Kurt. He looked up at Kurt. Their eyes met, but Blaine quickly looked away. Kurt squeezed his hand in comfort.
Devin was smiling. She started to laugh. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other, then at her. "What's so funny?"
"I think I've always known. I don't know why. I just feel that I've known for a while. And I'm happy for you. I'm glad you've found someone." She smiled at Kurt and held out her hand. "I'm Devin Anderson, this guy's older sister"
Kurt took the hand. "I'm Kurt Hummel, this guy's boyfriend." He smiled, slightly blushing. "I know who you are your from Starkid productions."
"Oh and he's a fan as well" She turned to Blaine and winked at him. "You're already off this market Blaine, and this one," hitting towards Kurt, "is defiantly a keeper." This made both the boys blush bright red.
Devin grabbed Kurt and pulled him off the couch. This took Kurt by surprise. He gave a glance to Blaine who just laughed.
"If he likes you, you must be able to sing." She grabbed the stool and pulled in to the piano. She then grabbed the guitar and handed it to Blaine and sat down at the piano.
"Oh no, I'm not going to sing in front of you guys."
"Come on, I bet you serenade Blaine all the time. I know he probably does it to you. Any song." This made both the boys blush bright red.
"Only if Blaine sings with me" He smiled at Blaine. Blaine was taken by surprise but nodded in agreement. Blaine started playing followed by his sister adding in the melody. Kurt and Blaine sung together.
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay
I'll be watching you
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Devin smiled at the two boys who seemed to be singing to each other. She joined in, letting her voice soar between the two boys.
Since you've gone I've been lost without a trace
I dream at night, I can only see your face
I look around but it's you I can't replace
I feel so cold and I long for your embrace
I keep calling baby, baby please...
Oh can't you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
With every step you take
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake
I'll be watching you
Every move you make
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
I'll be watching you
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take (I'll be watching you)
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every move you make
Every vow you break
Every smile you fake
Every claim you stake (I'll be watching you)
Every single day
Every word you say
Every game you play
Every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
Every breath you take

Every night you stay (I'll be watching you)
The song came to a close. Devin laughed. "With that voice I'm not surprised he chose you"
"I think I chose him first." Kurt replied and laughed as Blaine blushed bright red.
"Come on, now you have to tell me how you both met." Devin smiled. Blaine sighed. She promised she wouldn't tell their parents. Already with her knowing it felt as though a weight has been lifted from his chest. He smiled and begun the story.
Chapter 6 – Slushied
Blaine had been at his school for just over a month now. Ever since he got the letter from the unknown 'destroyer', every week he would get the same letter in his locker. This week was different not only did he get a letter he was getting one every day. They all said the same thing. Stop what you're doing. You're going to get what's coming for you. Blaine had been skilled enough and thrown them out while Kurt wasn't around. No point in scaring him when he's had a great month back at his school and nobody's bullied him.
Blaine placed the note back into his locker. "I'll throw it out later" Blaine thought and that was a good plan seeings his boyfriend was coming in his direction ready to swoop him off towards the choir room.
"How's Devin?" Kurt asked referring to Blaine's older sister who had just returned home.
"She's good. She hasn't told yet which is good. Mum and Dad are happy to have her back though. Oh, yes, she was wondering if you would go shopping with her for a dress for a party she's going to. Supposedly it's going to be bonding time for the two of you." Kurt jumped up and down trying not to squeal with delight.
"Of course I will help her. You should come along cause we need to fix this." Kurt pointed to what Blaine was wearing. Blaine replied with a laugh and dragged his boyfriend into the choir room. The choir room was a mess. The trophies that the club had won were thrown across the floor. Chairs were broken. Books had been pulled apart and sheet music was all over the room. Destroyed. Blaine and Kurt stood open-mouthed at the room.
Rachel and the other glee club members soon arrived. They're expression was the same as Kurt's and Blaine's, of utter disgust and horror. When Mr Shue arrive he dismissed the glee club members and headed straight to Principal Figgins office to talk about the clean-up and sorting out who had done this.
Blaine and Kurt walked hand in hand through the school corridors. Most people stopped and stared as they walked past. It had been over a month and people still hadn't become use to seeing the two boys together. Even when Kurt and Blaine walked past people, they were shoved and names were called but they ignored them. "Who would do such a thing to the choir room" Blaine looked at Kurt still shocked.
"I wouldn't be surprised if it had to do with the Sue and the Cheerio's. We all know that she hated the glee club. But this is way out if hand Sylvester has never done something to this extent." Both Blaine and Kurt turned down the corridor to return to the Cafeteria when 3 jocks approached them. Karofsky turned to Blaine, "Welcome new kid," and threw a Slushie straight into Blaine's face. The other two target each boy with another Slushie. They walked laughing at the two boys completely covered in Slushie.
"At least they gave you a new reason to get new clothes" Kurt smiled at Blaine and led him off to get cleaned up.
Kurt wiped the Slushie of Blaine's face. "You got it way worse than I've ever had. Do you think it's because ,you know, that we know about him?"
Blaine looked up at Kurt from where he was sitting on the basin in the bathroom, "I doubt it. It's probably because I'm new" Blaine smiled. He looked at Kurt. His clothes were ruined. "I know you don't like my clothes but I have a few spare shirts in my locker. I'll go get them."
"No I'll go get them you need to get all this Slushie out of your hair. I'll be back in a sec." And with that Kurt left Blaine alone to wipe up all the Slushie. Blaine removed his Slushie soaked shirt and squeezed it over the sink. It was really sticky. Blaine stood and look at himself in the mirror. His dark curly hair was mattered with the thick ice drink. He could feel it setting on his face and starting to get sticky.
The door opened "Thanks for getting the shirts Kurt" Blaine said turning around. Instead of Kurt standing there it was Milo, Milo from his calculus class. "Um.. hi, I thought you were someone else"
Milo smiled, "I know. Wow you got hit really bad. What was it like?" and he walked the paper dispenser and grabbed some more for Blaine. He handed it over.
"Thanks and cold, really cold, it's like a brain freeze but on the outside." Blaine turned back to the mirror and continued to try and get it out of his hair. "So...What are you doing here?"
"I was looking for you actually. I'm having a little trouble with Calculus and you know how Mr Turner is. So I was wondering if you could help me with a few of these questions." Milo opened his book and sat up on the basin and showed Blaine his problem. Blaine leaned down to show how to work one of the answers out. He swore Milo was staring at his lips for a second but when he looked up again he was concentrating on what Blaine was saying. Blaine wiped the thought away.
"Thanks for the help, Blaine" Milo said as he packed his stuff up and left. Blaine looked at his watch. Kurt should have been back by now his locker isn't that far away. He turned to the door. There in the door Kurt stood.
"Do you want to explain this?" Kurt asked. He sounded annoyed. Kurt was holding up his hand. Blaine realised what was in the hand the first time he glanced at it. The Letter.
Blaine sighed and turned away to look at himself in the mirror again. Kurt came over and threw a shirt at Blaine who caught it and started to put it on. "Kurt, can we talk about this later? After school? I'll tell you everything." Kurt sighed and nodded.
"Karofsky did what?" Kurt exclaimed as they sat down for a coffee. "Ssshh. Yes, he threatened me. I told him that I wouldn't let him touch you and that's how I got the black eye. Then these notes kept appearing in my locker. I don't think its connected though. Karofsky would have faced us if he wanted to say something."
"So you don't know who this 'destroyer' is?" Kurt looked at Blaine. "I wish you would have told me. Sometimes we need to sort things out together." Blaine smiled.
"So I'm forgiven?"
Kurt gave Blaine one of his cheeky grins. "Only if one; you tell me everything, no secrets between us. And two; you come shopping with your sister and myself."
"Oooh, that's hard, shopping with my sister and boyfriend or becoming Stag once again? I'm very inclined to go with the second one," Blaine replied smiling, even as the other boy punched him in the arm, "but I suppose if that's how I win back your undying love"
Before the end of school day, there was a parade. The school was broken into and that's how the choir room was trashed. It was expected to be someone who was from McKinley or a show choir. It was asked that if anyone knew anything they were to see Principal Finigins. "Come on" Blaine got up out of his chair and started towards the door.
Chapter 7 – I Want You
Milo watched as Blaine and Kurt left the coffee shop. He had been sitting just across from them hidden behind a newspaper. The two boys walked off hand in hand and this angered him. He said he was going to tear them down and he will. They know about the letters but still they parade about showing off their relationship. Blaine didn't deserve a guy like Kurt, always tearing him down where ever they went. Kurt may have spotted Blaine first but Milo was the one for him. Neither of them saw it but Milo deep down inside knew that Blaine was his, he just needed Blaine to see it as well. "Tomorrow," Milo thought to himself, " Tomorrow will be the first day of Blaine and his life together and no one will come in between them, especially that Kurt."
The next day was the same as usual for Kurt and Blaine. The letter in Blaine's locker was there again but this time it had a new message;
IT HAS STARTED THE DESTROYER WILL GET YOU NO MATTER WHAT. YOU JUST WAIT.
Blaine sighed; whatever he had done Kurt wasn't safe with him anymore. He let Kurt read it and then took it and threw it in the bin.
"Ok, guys. Sectionals are two weeks away so we need to be practising constantly. We'll be holding auditions for the male and female leads" Mr Shue said, Rachel beamed up knowing that she was most likely to get the lead for the females, "Now, we have another audition today, Milo?" Milo walked into the glee club. His eyes scanned the group and landed on Blaine, who was sitting right next to Kurt.
"Hi, I'm Milo. " He said with a smile. Milo walked over and grabbed the closest guitar. He started to play.
Ooh ooh
We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Milo looked and straight into Blaine's eyes. Blaine looked at him. "O my gosh, what is he doing?" Blaine thought. He turned and looked at Kurt and squeezed his hand.
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Both Kurt and Blaine realised what Milo was doing. He was serenading Blaine, right in front of his boyfriend. Kurt looked at Blaine in horror who looked back at him with the same confused look.
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh, give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
(Ooh)
Never gonna give, never gonna give
(Give you up)
Mr Shue noticed the look on Milo's face was one of love. He followed the boy's eyes and came across Blaine. Was there some kind of previous relationship between the two of them. The boy continued to sing with all his heart. He had a good voice but from the looks Kurt and Blaine had on their face it was of utter confusion. Something wasn't right.
We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching but
You're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
The song faded away. The room was aroused with applauses. Only Kurt, Blaine and Mr Shue had noticed that the song had been sung for someone. "Does anyone have any objections with Milo joining us?" Mr Shue asked. As he looked around he let his eyes hold on the two boys at the back for a short moment. The two boys just returned the look. There were no objections. "Okay, welcome Milo, take a seat and we'll talk more about sections."
Mr Shue was not surprised when Milo walked straight to the back and sat right next to Blaine who continued to stare at him in confusion. Kurt quickly grabbed Blaine's hand which he had let go of when they applauded. Blaine looked away and smiled at Kurt. Milo saw this. He knew it was going to take a lot more to separate these two.
The glee club was dismissed a few moments later after Mr Shue gave out the details for the auditions. Blaine walked out with Kurt. "You going to audition for the male lead?" he asked. Kurt replied in a stare of are-you-crazy-of-course-i-am. Blaine laughed. Milo continued to walk behind them listening to their conversation.
"Dad wants you over for dinner one night okay?" Kurt told Blaine.
"Yeah, that means I will probably have to tell my parents sometime." Blaine groaned.
"You tell them when you're ready, ok Blaine, Courage" Kurt smiled. "I'll come if you want me to, you just tell me and I'll be over before you can say 'supermegafoxyawesomehot'." This made Blaine laugh. So Blaine's parents didn't know that he was gay. The next corridor came and Milo sped off planning.
The next lunch came quickly. Milo folded the letter and shoved it into the locker. "Let's kick it up a notch shall I Blaine." he murmured. He glanced around quickly and walked away. He didn't notice the small boy coming out of the toilets. The boy stopped where he was. "Nothing can come between us and what we have," the boy thought.
Blaine and Kurt were both sitting at the coffee table like they do most afternoons. "First he starts blackmailing us and now he's in the glee club. You can't tell me he's not fishy. I can't believe it's Milo" Kurt whispered to Blaine. "I can't believe he serenaded you in front of everyone. " Kurt was fuming by now.
"Kurt, calm down. I've been thinking about the threats and I thought I can't possibly let you get hurt. So …"
"So what you're going to dump me and run. Is that what? Because what about.."
Blaine cut him off mid-sentence by grabbing his hand. "So I thought about breaking up with you but I know you would react like this." Blaine gestured towards Kurt, "I've decided, there will be no running. You and I will get through this together. Ok." Kurt blushed bright red and looked down. Blaine gently grabbed his chin and pulled it up. Blaine moved close until their lips were nearly touching. He paused, teasing Kurt. Kurt moved closer and their lips touched. The chemistry was strong. The kiss drowned out the world. Kurt pulled back to catch his breath but Blaine kissed him again.
"Excuse me" Blaine and Kurt looked up. The waiter was standing with his notebook out. "Are you ready to order?" Blaine and Kurt sat back and laughed. They ordered their coffees. "There's no way anyone will get between us" Blaine said still blushing.
"Someone just did and it was a waiter." Kurt replied. The two boys sat in the café laughing.
Chapter 8 – The Secret Unveiled
Tap! Tap! Tap! Tap!
Kurt sat up in his bed and turned to look at his digital clock on his bed side table. It was 12:30am.
Tap! Tap!
What was that noise? Kurt got up and turned his bedside lamp on. He looked around his room. There was nothing in there that could make the tapping noise. But he heard it again. He walked to the window it was snowing outside. He looked down and saw a familiar figure standing in the snow. Kurt raced down the stairs and outside.
"Why can't he stay Dad?" Kurt was now yelling. The whole household were standing in the Lounge room.
"It's okay sir, I'll leave tomorrow and find another place to stay. I just need a place to stay for tonight." Blaine looked up at Burt apologetically.
"Blaine, shut up. Dad he's homeless. He needs a place to stay until he can return home. "
Burt looked at his son. He then looked at Finn and Carole. "Blaine can stay tonight and we'll talk more about this tomorrow. " and with that he grabbed a blanket and a few pillows and placed them on the couch. "Kurt go to bed. " Carole and Finn both made their way up the stairs to their rooms. Kurt hesitated then followed them up, Burt right behind them. Blaine sigh and placed his bag on the ground and turned on the lamp next to the couch. He turned off the main light and set up his bed. He strangely felt at home, here. It was as if he had finally found home. "I'm not homeless, anymore" Blaine murmured and smiled. He closed his eyes.
Blaine was just about to doze off when he heard a creak from upstairs. He opened one of his eyes to see a faint image of Kurt coming down the stairs. He sat up and turned the lamp on. "What are you doing Kurt?"
"I want to know what happened for you to turn up on my doorstep in the middle of the night." Kurt came and sat next to Blaine. He held Blaine's hand and looked up into his eyes. "No secrets right?"
Blaine sighed "okay well it started when I got home from dropping you home…"
Blaine got out of his car. He looked up at his house. Something was wrong. His house looked more alive than ever. He grabbed his bag out of the back seat and walked in. As he entered the house he saw his parents sitting on the couch next to Devin. "And where have you been?" his mother asked him sternly. Blaine put down his bag.
"I've been at the coffee shop with a friend." Blaine looked confused.
"And was this friend a girl?" Blaine's dad looked at him. Blaine avoided his eyes.
"No I was with Kurt."
"Is there something you're not telling us Blaine about this Kurt guy?"
"No, mu-"
"Bull Shit, Blaine." His dad stood up and grabbed him. "A lovely boy came around to my work today and told me that my son was gay. I didn't believe him. But I see it now." Then the dad through Blaine across the room and smashed him into the coffee table. "And I had to force it out of your sister. If I can't straighten you out, I'll send you away." Blaine looked up from where he landed.
"I didn't tell you cause I knew you wouldn't accept it!" Blaine yelled back.
"Don't you dare yell at me, young man." And with that he grabbed Blaine and pulled him up the stairs. "I'm going to straighten you out boy and I'm going to send you away to make sure you are." Blaine could hear his sister yelling at his dad to let him go as he was dragged up the stairs.
Blaine looked at Kurt; tears were streaming down both the boys faces. Kurt looked down at his arms. He hadn't seen them before; all over Blaine's arms were bruises and welts. Kurt traced his finger over them. "All I knew is that I had to get away. So I packed my bag and snuck out of the house."
Kurt got up. "You have to stay, I won't let you return to that house." He walked into the downstairs bathroom, returning with a few bandages and some ointment.
"Kurt it's fine, just let it go. You dad doesn't want me here. It's like if Finn had a girlfriend staying over. You should go to bed Kurt." Blaine tried to wriggle away from Kurt. Kurt grabbed him and looked him the eyes. Please was all he said. Blaine sighed and relaxed. Kurt started to wrap up Blaine's arms where the biggest bruises were. Blaine winced. He had held onto the pain for so long trying to make it look like he was okay. It was good to just let it go. Blaine looked down both his arms had bandages on it.
"Come on, up" Kurt said.
"Kurt, I don't think that's a good idea."
"Come on they can't hear us and I know you hurt." Blaine stood and started to remove his shirt. He winced as he tried to lift it over his head. Kurt got up and helped it off, his hands lightly touching Blaine's chest. There were two massive bruises. They were a dark purple. They would be there for a while. Kurt quickly wrapped a bandage around the two bruises. His hands lingered on the bandage once he had finished. Blaine looked at him. Kurt leant forward to kiss him. They're lips touched and the warmth spread throughout their bodies. Kurt pushed Blaine onto the couch. "Kurt" Blaine murmured between the kisses. "Stop, stop." Kurt looked up.
"You're right sorry," Kurt blushed and stood up.
"Kurt at much as I would like to; one your parents will kill me, two Finn will kill me, three they wouldn't let me stay and four I don't want to hurt you or rush you into things." Kurt could tell it hurt Blaine to stop but he knew that he was doing it for Kurt. Kurt smiled. A smile was returned. Kurt lent down and gave Blaine another kiss before throwing him his shirt and walking up the stairs. Blaine sighed and put his shirt back on. He turned off the light and let himself slowly drift out of conscious.
Chapter 9 – The Promise
Blaine and Kurt were sitting at a table at breadsticks. It has been over 2 months now since the 2 boys had begun school at McKinley. They were celebrating their 3rd month together. This was their longest relationship they've been in... well it's the only relationship they had been in... not counting Kurt's massive crush on his step-brother. They were looking into each other's eyes. Nothing needed to be said. With sigh, Blaine looked down and grabbed Kurt's hand. "You know that i mean every word when i say I Love You. You move me Kurt, your my inspiration and i don't think i could live a day without you."
Kurt smiled, "I love you too." Blaine grabbed something out of his pocket of his coat. "Well, i know we are to young to get married and i think we still might be too young to be engaged so here" Blaine pulled up a small basic ring, "Its a promise ring. I promise that i will love you until the end of my days. But hopefully by then we will legally married and you won't need this stupid ring."
Kurt squealed and snatched the ring out of blaines hand and shoved it onto his finger. He then strategically climbed over the table and onto blaines lap, kissing him. He didn't care who saw he loved this man with all his heart. Blaine laughed between kisses. "So i guess that's a yes to the promise."
"Yes, yes, yes!" was all he could make out whilst he was being kissed.
Blaine paid for the dinner and dragged his boyfriend out of the restaurant and drove him home. Burt, Carole and Finn were all home when they arrived.. "Burt, Carole I'm not good with saying thank you and i struggle to find words to describe what i mean so can i please sing your family a song to express how much i thank you for letting me stay here." asked Blaine
"Sure, son" Burt replied. Both Kurt and Blaine were surprised that he classified Blaine as a son. Blaine smiled and nodded. The whole family sat down on the couches.
Home
I've heard the word before
It's never meant much more
Than just a thing I've never had
A place
They say, hey, know your place
But I've never had a place to even know
Or a face that I could go to
If I needed someone there...
I'm laughing
It's hard to hide a smile
My god, it's been a while
Since I have had a reason to
To think
It's been here all along
Somewhere to belong
And a reason
A something to believe in...
I've finally found it
A place where I'm wanted...
This must be how it feels
To have a home
I used to dream about it
But never schemed or counted
On fantasies or wishes
It breaks a man to see what he misses
And so many nights I'd pray
For a better life, and a better day
But I never thought that it'd come true
It's finally here and I don't know what to do...
And I'm trying not to cry
This must be how it feels
To have a home
I've finally made it
I've hoped and I've waited
And for the first time in my life
I don't feel so alone
My heart starts to heal
To know this is real
This is how it must feel
To have a home...
Blaine nodded as he finished the song. Burt whispered something into Carole's and she nodded. They both stood and smiled. "Blaine, welcome to the family, this is your home now." And with that Carole grabbed Blaine and pulled him in for a group hug. "Thank-you," Blaine replied laughing and hugging back.
"So i guess we should let you unpack." Burt smiled.
"Unpack?" Finn finally spoke.
"Yes, Blaine the guest room is now yours. We thought you would only be staying for a little while but it's been over a month so i believe you can stay. "
"Thank-you i don't know how i can thank you more" Blaine smiled.
"You can do one thing for me? Look after Kurt and don't hurt him because as i am his father i can't save you from me." This made everyone laugh. Blaine grabbed his one suitcase and his guitar that he had stored off to the side while he had been staying on the couch and walked into the guest bedroom downstairs. His boyfriend ran in behind him and started to unpack for him. He grabbed out some photos and started to tape them to the walls. They were pictures of his sister, the warblers they left behind and pictures of him and Kurt together. "Kurt, we don't need to rush."
"Yes we do. If we unpack all your stuff then you have to stay. Dad can't take back what he said."
Blaine laughed, "I think he was being serious. I'm staying." Blaine closed the door before grabbing his boyfriend and pulling him over to the double bed. Blaine switched on the TV using the remote on the bedside table and started to play one of his most favourite Disney movies, the Little Mermaid. He lied down and Kurt lied next to him cuddling, his head on blaines chest. They lied there watching the movie neither wanted to move. Kurt felt blaines chest hum. Blaine was quietly singing the songs with the movie.
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat,
Wouldn't you think my collections complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything.
Look at this trove treasures untold, how many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think, Sure, she's got everything.
I got gadgets and gismos aplenty, I got who sits and wotsits galore,
You want thingamabobs? I got twenty,
But who cares? No big deal, I want more.
...
Chapter 10 – Jealousy
Kurt and Blaine walked down the hall of McKinley holding hands. When someone raced up to them.
"Devin, what the hell are you doing here" Blaine cried out and raced to give his sister a hug who hugged him back then moved onto hug Kurt.
"Hey Bro, Kurt, " She smiled, "Guess what? "But before either of the boys said a word she screamed out the answer. "Dad wants you to come home Blaine he's wants to talk to you about, what he calls 'problem'. That means you can come home and spend time with me and sleep in your own room again." Devin was so excited.
Blaine felt so bad, "I'm sorry Devin, i don't think I'm ready to return. I'm living with Kurt at the moment and his family has accepted me as a son or son-in-law. I don't feel safe enough to walk through that house again. I'm sorry" Devin's face fell a bit.
"That's ok. So can i come over to your house Kurt to see my little brother cause i miss him heaps.'
"It'd be a pleasure and maybe you can stay for dinner or something. I'll be making it. Carole's good with cooking but i defiantly have a few tricks up my sleeve." Kurt smiled before giving Devin another hug and she raced off down the hall.
"Do you think i did the right this, Kurt, i mean my father might actually be finally easing up on the gay thing but i don't feel that safe to return for all i know he might just want to bash it out of me some more"
"When you're ready to return I'll come with you, together. But until then my house is your house. " The two boys linked hands and continued down the hall.
Ding Dong
"I'll get it" Finn called out and raced down the hall to the front door. Kurt was sure he thought it would be Rachel come to apologise after another falling out. "Blaine it's for you." Finn yelled out. Blaine looked at Kurt who stared confused back. They both stood. Blaine started to walk to the door followed by Kurt right behind him.
"Blaine, I think you should stop being selfish and come home" The voice came from the door. The familiar voice that Blaine didn't want to hear and defiantly not at this home. His father pushed past Finn who was still standing at the door. He quickly retreated into the lounge room. "Blaine get your ass into the car right this moment, you are coming home then we will decided what boarding school you'll be going to cause you're not staying at McKinley where you are getting affect." yelled Blaine's father. Blaine stopped in front of his dad. Kurt kept back.
"Affected, how the hell am i getting affected dad?"
"You're getting manipulated into thinking you're gay by that lady man" His father pointed at Kurt.
"Don't you get it Dad i was gay before i met Kurt, way back at Dalton. "Blaine was yelling now.
Burt came rushing down the stair and pushed past Kurt and grabbed Blaine and pushing him to Kurt then stood protectively in front of the two boys.
"And who the hell are you?" Kurt's father asked.
"I am the father of Blaine."
"O you're the father of Blaine who couldn't accept that his sun is gay, o and by the way if you call my son a lady man that means your son is too so stop insulting them both. You have no right to be here Blaine does not want to come home with you because you can't accept him for who he is. What kind of father doesn't love his child for what he is. You don't deserve Blaine as a son. He is an amazing boy and he's helped my son. I would be so proud of him if he was my son. And i classify him as a son. One day you'll see Blaine and Kurt will get married. He has helped my son and my son deserves him so don't you dare come to my house and force Blaine to come home against his will because he is home, right here and until you accept him, that's how it will stay."
Blaine's father was speechless. He turned to leave but just before he did he turned back to his son. "If you don't come home, if this is what you choose, to stay, you will not be welcome in my house again. I will disinherit you."
"Well then father, you have made your choice now i will make mine. I'm not going anywhere with you" And with that the ex-father now turned and walked out of the house. Blaine held back the tears. He turned to Burt. " Thank-you, Thank-you for everything." They embraced each other.
"No problem, he doesn't deserve someone like you"
Milo was extremely jealous of Kurt. There was no way Blaine deserved Kurt. It revolted him to watch them walk down the school halls hand in hand and even when they give each other a quick kiss before they went their own ways to class. It was sick. Luckily his plan soon would solve all his problems.. Kurt wouldn't be in the way ever again and Blaine would be his.
Kurt and Blaine stood in Glee club. "We wanted to sing you guys a song that represents the struggle we've been through and how we both helped each other get through them" Blaine said. He then motioned to the band to start playing. The two boys began to sing together their voices harmonizing.
Morning falls like rain,
Into the city life, there goes another night.
Lose my breath in waves,
Knowing that every crash, is bleeding the hour glass.
Taking the stride, from all our lives.
Everyone keeps talking,
They'll promise you everything, they don't mean anything.
We may lose our focus,
There's just too many words, we're never meant to learn.
And we don't feel so alive.
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.
Move your hands in circles,
Keeping me hypnotized, the power behind your eyes.
Move around your bedroom,
Cursing the naked sky, you should be here tonight.
But you stay alone and cry.
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.
There's something missing,
You'll never feel it but you,
You're gonna feel it when its gone,
When its gone.
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
And we can't, keep holding on,
When all we need, is some relief,
Through these hard times.
These hard times, hard times, hard times,
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
Say goodbye, these days are gone,
These days are gone.
When the song finally ended they were met with a massive applause by the glee club. Blaine and Kurt hugged each other and smiled.
They then took their seats. Milo stood and made his way down the front. "Thank you Blaine" He said. i know this week's assignment was what kind of emotional place your in right now so i chosen a song that i think explains it all. His gaze looked over the room but stopped on Blaine. He winked which once again only Blaine and Kurt noticed.
I hate where I'm at
Acting crazy like that
I know that I've been wrong
It's something I've been working on
And I don't know what to do
It's changing me it's killing you
I'd tear out my insides if I could
But I don't know if it'd do me good
I'm sorry friends I'm sorry lovers
To put us all in this mess
I know we still got each other
But I'm in distress
Cause every time that I feel like I've figured it out
I can't seem to figure it in
It's got nothing to do with me
It's not even you, you see
It's part of my chemistry
It's this jealousy
In absolutely no position
To be so needlessly unkind
When I'm the one writing this fiction
Make it real in my mind
It drives me crazy in the morning
Who is this monster in the mirror
I try to get the steam to fog it out
But I just can't get it clear
Oh and I can't stand what I'm feeling
It's just like poison in my veins
I know that I'm speaking
But I don't know what I'm saying
Cause every time that I feel like the world just got lighter
Courtesy of
It seems like my muscles give out
It's got nothing to do with me
It's not even you, you see
It's part of my chemistry
It's this jealousy
And I'm hearing your voice
Babe, you know it's your choice
Maybe so
And I know it's no use
But it's the only excuse
That I know, no no
Let me go
Let me go
Oh let me go
Oh let me go
Now let's be real I feel just like a child
Someone could be taking all my toys
So call me dumb, call me wild
See that's the thing with little boys
Oh now I can't get it out in the shower
Or drink it off at the bar
This sugar's gone sour
And it's gone way too far
Cause every time that I feel like I'm riding so high,
Feel on top of the world
The bitch just keeps telling me no
It's got nothing to do with me
It's not even you, you see
It's part of my chemistry
This demon is killing me
And oh Christ it's filling me
It's this jealousy
Oh, and I just can't believe
In this jealousy,
This jealousy for you
Oh this jealousy,
This jealousy for you
Milo finished the song which got a massive applause by the teacher and the students. Blaine couldn't take it anymore he got up and raced out of the building followed by Kurt in pursuit
Chapter 11 – Jam with me
"Blaine stop, please just slow down, wait" Kurt yelled out. Blaine stopped and turn around to see kurt.
"I can't take it anymore, it's stressing me out... im scared to sing or do or say anything when he's around.. he might take it wrong" Blaine was crying the tears streamed down is face. Kurt grabbed him and smothered him into a tight hug. "Its okay. Remember nothing can get between us."
"What do you want" Blaine said harshly. Kurt broke out of the hug and looked at Blaine. Blaine wasn't looking at him he was looking at Milo who had just entered the hallway they has stopped in,
"I just.. i just want you to know that i'm sorry" Milo looked down at his feet. He really was sorry. " I didnt mean to hurt you this bad... you see i believed that you were mine, Blaine, i believed that you didnt need kurt you needed me. I thought you were the one. Now i see that i have been stupid and made it all up in my head. the only person who diserves you is the person standing right next to you" Milo nodded towards Kurt, "Now i know you probably dont trust me anymore but thats okay because ive decided to transfer" And with that Milo turned around and started to walk away tears falling slowly from his eys. Both Kurt and Blaine were shocked.
"Wait, Milo, please," Blaine said running up to him with kurt right behind him. "You don't have to transfer, i mean as long as you are over trying to get me, stay. i mean your voice is amazing and me need you in glee. Also i could help you with your calculus... the pasts the past.. we can start again fresh. maybe we can even be friends." Blaine looked towards Kurt. He nodded, "Everyone deserves second chances, and maybe i can fix your fashion sense cause those pants do not match your top"
Milo laughed, "Really, You'd do that"
The couple smiled and nodded their heads. This was a beginning of a new friendship and an end of a fight.
"Get lost Fags your gay-ing up the place" Karofky yelled from the other side of the cafeteia. Blaine, Kurt and Milo were all discussing their auditions for a solo at regionals. Kurt was fussed over what he would wear and Blaine and Milo was discussing their song "Oy i'm talking to you" Karofsky through food at them. This was a thing that happened most lunchtimes. The three boys escaped out of the cafeteria before anything worse could happen. They ran into the glee room which they normally end up in. They laughed and played around forgeting about their aduitions. Blaine sat down at Finns drumset and started to play a wacky beat. Kurt and Milo both got the hint and Kurt ran over to sit at the piano and Milo picked us the nearest guitar. They laughed as they jammed singing really badly on purpose.
when they finished they realised they were late for their next class. Milo gave the couple a hug and ran off in the direction of his class. Luckly for Kurt and Blaine they had a free period. "I was wondering", Blaine asked, "If you would audition for a duet with me" Kurt was taken aback. "Of course, do you have a song in mind?"
"Don't be silly, of course i so." Blaine smiled.
The powerlines went out
And I am all alone
But I don't really care at all
not answering my phone
All the games you played, the promises you made
Couldn't finish what you started only darkness still remains
Lost sight, couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
Been black and blue before
There's no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind playback's such a waste
You're invisible, invisible to me, my wish is coming true erase the memory of your face
Lost sight, couldn't see
When it was you and me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
One day you will wake up
With nothing but your sorrys
And someday you will get back
Everything you gave me
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
I'm beginning to see the light
Blow the candles out, looks like a solo tonight
But I think I'll be alright
The room erupted into cheers. it was like regionals all over again. Blaine hugged Kurt. Mr Shuebegan to speak, "People have been telling me to show more talent in our glee club, Kurt, Blaine i think your voices match really well and i defiantly think you should do the duet at our next competition. Congratulations. " The crowd of glee member erupted into cheers again. "just remember you'll have to find a different song." Blaine and Kurt smiled... "Its your turn to choose the song this time Kurt" Blaine said as he winked at Kurt.
Milo came up to them. "so i guess this means you wont be trying to a solo."
"we're sorry milo, we wont be but you should." Kurt said.
"why try when, rachel demands every solo," This made the couple laugh
"remember what mr shue said... new talent. and your right here with that new talent."Blaine said kindly. "And if you don't, i will stop helping you with calculus and Kurt will stop helping you with your clothes.
"Oh God, fine, fine i'll audition.. can you guys come and listen to me practie and give me hints, please.
chapter 12 - solos
"So please write down the songs you want me to sing for the solo at regionals." Rachel said handing out paper"
"Rachel", Mr Shue stopped her, "There will be open audtition for any who would like to try for a solo"
"Hells there is,"Merceded cried out, "I'm gonna get this one"
Milo lookeed down into his hands. there was no way he could get this solo but he had to try he promised blaine and kurt. "You'll do fine" Blaine said nudging him, "We'll help you."
"Okay Milo, you're up." Mr Shue said.
Milo stepped out onto the stage in the hall. He searched for Blaine and Kurt in the small audience. He took a breath and started to sing.
This town is colder now, I think it's sick of us
It's time to make our move, I'm shaking off the rust
I've got my heart set on anywhere but here
I'm staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands, just take the wheel...
And every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal... for the life I lead
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see
They're trying to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags, I never thought I could...
Steady feet, don't fail me now
Gonna run till you can't walk
Something pulls my focus out
And I'm standing down...
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be, oh
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you're here not there
And you'd give anything to get what's fair
But fair ain't what you really need
Oh, you don't need
What you need, what you need...
Stop and stare
I think I'm moving but I go nowhere
Yeah I know that everyone gets scared
But I've become what I can't be
Oh, do you see what I see...
As the music started to fade away the hall erupted into cheers. He did a quick bow before jumping of the stage and running into his friends arms.. "Thank you for making me do that" he said with a smile.
The bell rang and studants piled out of the class rooms. Kurt, Blaine and Milo had decieded that in celebration of Milo getting a solo they would go out to Breadsticks for dinner. This made Kurt over excited about planning a new outfit. "So we'll see you at 7" Blaine said to Milo as he opened his car door for Kurt then went around to the drivers seat. "Yep." Milo said as he got into his car.
The boys entered Breadstix together and sat down at a table. the boys discussed the solos and duets they planned to do. After the desert. Kurt invited milo to return home with them. "Come on, please then i can help you with your clothes and we can test out your solo's.. please" Kurt said. "Fine, fine" Milo said smiling and laughing. Blaine insisted paying and the three boys left to head to their cars. They were just at them when they were jumped by Karofsky and some of his friends. "You should stop gaying everything up... its like when you walk rainbows come out" His friends laughed. "Maybe you should just tell them why rainbows comeout beehnd you too" Blaine sneered and pushed Kurt and Milo behind him. "Yer why dont you back off, your just like us" Milo said coming out from behind Blaine.
Karofsky went red with anger. "Grab them" he said. Blaine tried to push the two other boys back but he was grabbed by Karofsky. "Ah Anderson, nice to meet you again" Blaine tried to fight back but he couldnt. He could hear the other boys beating Kurt and Milo...Karofsky punched him and through him on the ground and continuously kicked him. He soon passed out by the pain that sored through his body.
Blaine awoke in a hospital bed. He turned to see MIlo and Kurt staring back at him... Kurt was standing up and shouting out something but he couldnt quite hear everything sounded fuzzy. A few nurses came in and hooked him to a machine. He started to get his hearing back.. "hello" he said smiling.. He finally had a good look at Kurt... There were a few light brusies on Kurt... he was sure the bullies beat him harder than that... and Milo.. he had something around his neck. "what happend to you, milo"
"MIlo lost his voice from being kicked in the throat and wont be able to sing at regionals" Kurt said softley not looking at him "thats not the worst thing.. youve been in a coma"
"Of course" Kurt replied and grabbed the two boys into a big hug.
