Okay so this is the second chapter! And this is on the day that I said would post this, so I am already pleased with myself ;)
Second prompt:
Metaphor
The chorus of the song blasted from his speakers, loud as the house surrounding him was empty.
"We are young…"
His body swayed from side to side in his room, arms raised above his head.
"Heartache to Heartache we stand…"
He had slowed the music down so he could sing each individual line, allowing him to really take in the music.
It was one of his guilty pleasures. Everyone expected him to only listen to show tunes all the time and honestly he did, but…
His mother always used to listen to this and he found comfort in the notes, imagining his mother singing to him like she always used to. Burt still played the song every so often, when he was in the shop and his workers didn't really mind.
"No promises, No demands…Love is a battlefield…"
He'd avoided going out with Blaine today, needing this. Blaine hopefully hadn't noticed anything off about him.
"We are strong…"
It had been 11 years since Kurt's mother had passed away.
"No one can tell us we're wrong…"
No one had noticed. No one in the New Directions… Not even Blaine… Then again, Kurt hadn't even told him the date she'd died on, so that argument was void…
"Searching our hearts for so long…"
Blaine…
His Mom knew, she'd told him as much, when he was too young to understand.
'You'll find someone sweetie…You'll find someone you love so much…You'll have to fight for him, and you'll fight hard, knowing you…But being who you are comes at a risk in this narrow-minded town…So you'll have to fight harder for it to work, but then…Love IS a battlefield…'
Kurt remembers his mother smirking after that, then singing the very song he was at that very moment
His mom had been right.
He did love Blaine so much…And he did have to fight for their love…
Their love truly was a battlefield, fighting the haters…the homophobes….
"Both of us knowing… Love is a battlefield"
A voice he knew all to well carrying on the song made him spin quickly and come face to face with Blaine, who was looking at him, concerned.
His arms dropped to his sides and he felt like a small child again. One who had just lost his mother.
"Blaine…"
"Kurt…"
They launched themselves at each other and held on tightly as tears started to fall from Kurt's eyes.
"I'll always fight for you Kurt…Always…"
Oh the cheesiness… I couldn't resist, sorry ;) But either way, another chapter/prompt down…
Song was 'Love is a battlefield' by Pat Benatar…
Since the prompt was metaphor and the song title is one.. so yeah…
Reviews are candy, and I am a self-proclaimed sugar addict :P
Drop me some love!
