Hey! You clicked on my story, Thanks!
I love all the songs in this fic, but I do not know them. Nor Glee, nor Company.
Hope you enjoy the chapter!
The light in the rooms changed, almost as if someone had placed a blue sheet over the moon. The piano was playing clearly now, slowly playing the opening notes to a song I didn't know. Blaine changed too, his clothes changed from the formal jacket to a simple shirt with a blank blue tie. He slowly opened his mouth as the piano continued its slow song.
"Someone to hold you too close,
Someone to hurt you too deep,"
Blaine took a breath and looked around at his former friends, pausing on each of their faces.
"Someone to sit in your chair,
To ruin your sleep."
The music continued under him as he started to talk.
"Kurt and I didn't make it through collage, it wasn't my fault! I guess." He took a breath, now only starring at Kurt.
"Someone to need you too much,
Someone to know you too well,
Someone to pull you up short
And put you through hell!"
His eyes were watering already, his voice fraught with the peril of the fact that the man who he had given everything was standing in front of him again.
"I was so worried when we were leaving high school that I couldn't be perfect for you Kurt. I just couldn't live if you weren't there with me."
The room was changing now, the stage was transforming. It's broken down state was changing into something much more.
More sounds were coming from the pit. Flutes, cellos, stage was becoming alive with the noise of the empty man's beautiful voice.
"Someone you have to let in,
Someone whose feelings you spare,
Someone who, like it or not,
Will want you to share
A little, a lot."
"That's when I started purging. I didn't ever think you would find out. It's just-" He cut himself off with his own tears.
"I just didn't think that you would break up with me. I just never understood why."
Light was coming from the stage now, the dust was being ripped from the stage that had been empty for so long.
"Someone to crowd you with love,
Someone to force you to care,"
He was pacing now, his eyes yelling questions at the boy who destroyed him at his lowest.
"I mean, I loved you Kurt, more then I ever loved anyone before. Why couldn't you have stayed? Why did you have to run. You always ran from everything, but never me." He was yelling at the paler man now, his voice cracking with tears, but the music from the pit held strong, cuing Blaine back into the song.
"Someone to make you come through,
Who'll always be there,
As frightened as you
Of being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive."
"After you left, I just couldn't do it, I sold the apartment. Everything smelled like you, I always liked that you used your Mom's perfume to scent the place, but then you took on your Mom's smell. So it became yours, at least for me. I begged my Dad to fund school, I just went the opposite direction, Harvard Law, it was a big deal for some people."
"Somebody, hold me too close,
Somebody, hurt me too deep,
Somebody, sit in my chair
And ruin my sleep
And make me aware
Of being alive,
Being alive."
"I had a few hook-ups, with girls, I felt like vomiting every time. But I just couldn't, my dad was watching me, and I-" He broke down, kneeling on the now clean stage. Music was blasting from the pit. A conductor rose from the center, sending Blaine back into the song.
"Somebody, need me too much,
Somebody, know me too well,
Somebody, pull me up short
And put me through hell
And give me support
For being alive,
Make me alive.
Make me confused,
Mock me with praise,"
Blaine was practically yelling the song as he reached the climax of the number.
"Let me be used,
Vary my days.
But alone is alone, not alive."
"I kept thinking of that day, when we went to tell my Dad that I wanted to go to New York, you were so close to me. What happened, why did you do it Kurt? Please! Just tell me!" The music was beautiful, it mixed with Blaine's voice perfectly. The conductor had no emotion, but his body held all the passion to make up for that.
"I'm so successful now, Kurt. I could be so good for you. I would finally give you the person you deserve"
"Somebody, crowd me with love,
Somebody, force me to care,
Somebody, make me come through,
I'll always be there,
As frightened as you,
To help us survive
Being alive,
Being alive,
Being alive!"
Blaine wandered off the stage, it was normal again, the conductor gone, the piano silent.
Blaine sat far away from the man he had just poured his soul out to, he sat down, and looked at the ceiling, as if trying to escape.
No one clapped. No one needed to.
Sam then stood up. He looked around, snapped his fingers three times and yelled to the conductor that was no longer there,
"A five, six, seven, eight."
Thanks for reading again!
he song Blaine sang is Being Alive from "Company", It's a great show, and I think Darren Criss would rock as Bobby, here's a video of an amazing performance by Raul Esparza is you want to hear the song to get a better image of the chapter
