I loved Blaine, I really did. Or at least I liked the deal of him for a long time but I have found that I can't love him after all the fanfiction and other stories I've read about Season 3. A couple should not be that...calm, and Kurt just sounded so sold on the idea of Blaine that I just couldn't stand it. So here's something I did about it.
The song is Ridin' Solo by Jason Derulo
"Mercedes, I just can't do this anymore," Kurt lamented to his best friend, clutching his coffee. The duo was tucked away in the back corner of the Lima Bean.
"Come on, Boo, you were so happy to be there and to be near Blaine, what's changed?" Kurt thought about it for a few before answering.
"I guess I did. You know I could never stand to blend in but that's what I'm being told to do. Even with the duet at Regional's that wasn't me standing out, that was still Blaine. It only happened because Blaine demanded it. I need to be free, even if that means dealing with Karofsky."
Mercedes stared at her best gay. Kurt's hair was limp, the Dalton uniform washing out Kurt's complexion to make him appear sickly rather than fair.
"What about Blaine? Aren't you two dating?" Kurt snorted as he sipped his mocha.
"He wanted to get together over a dead bird. Then all he did was talk about himself. Solos, summer theater programs, everything was about him and his career, his future! I can't take it any more, I feel like I'm dating Rachel!" Kurt groaned as he laid his head on the table.
"Oh Boo, what are you going to do?" 'Cedes questioned as she placed a hand on his arm. The silence between them stretched for a few minutes before the song playing in the coffee shop changed, electing Kurt to shoot up from the table.
"We are going to show them what they are going to miss out on. Both Blaine AND the Warblers."
Blaine and the rest of the Warblers were confused on why Kurt had told them to come to McKinley on their rare day off that the public school was still in session for. They had barely seen Kurt that past week and Blaine was starting to get worried. Lunch was just starting for the school but Kurt had told them to sit at the tables in front of the steps outside the cafeteria.
"Any idea what's going on?" Jeff asked the lead soloist as they settled down at one of the long rows of tables.
"I have no idea," Blaine mumbled back. Once the group was seated, music began to filter through the amphitheater.
New Directions started filing down the steps, dancing freely to the beat as they sang the opening "yeahs". Kurt was still absent until the verse began. The Warbles spun around quickly to see Kurt standing on the end of the tables away from the steps, singing. Blaine was shock at Kurt's outfit. Dark washed skinny jeans, a navy blue t-shirt and leather jacket plus converse. Not exactly Kurt's normal go to.
"I'm feeling like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo, I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, I'm ridin' solo, solo"
Kurt ambled down the table, past the McKinley students to stop in front of Blaine at the end of the first stanza. He crouched down in front of the shorter boy to sing directly to him.
"Yeah, I'm feeling good tonight
Finally doing me and it feels so right, oh
Time to do the things I like
Going to the club everything's alright, oh
No one to answer to
No one that's gonna argue, no
And since I go that hold off me
I'm livin' life now that I'm free, yeah"
Kurt stood for the third stanza, singing to the stuned ex-classmates that watched him reach the end of the tables, swinging around to wink at the Warblers before back flipping off the table.
He hopped onto the bottom step for the chorus, falling into sync with the rest of New Directions as he put on his sunglasses with Puck and Sam on either side of him. They danced as one despite them all doing their own thing.
"Now I'm feeling how I should
Never knew single could feel this good, oh"
Kurt sauntered through the tables for the next verse, flanked by Puck and Mike as they pop, locked and swagged through the tables.
"Star player misunderstood,
back in the game, who knew I would, oh"
Kurt sang the line directly to Azimio and the rest of the jocks outside, glad that Karofsky hadn't joined them yet.
"So fly time to spread my wings
Loving myself makes me wanna sing
Oh, oh yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Told me get my shit together
Now I got my shit together, yeah
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gonna get better"
Kurt sang his way back to the steps, flipping to the bottom step as the next chorus came up. The group fell back into sync. As the rest of the song played out, Kurt was danced on by all the girls but pushed them away each time he said "solo".
Despite the fact that it was Kurt singing Jason Derulo, the school let out cheers at the show while the Warblers sat in shock.
"For the Neandethals that might not have understood, I'm back at McKinley starting next period. Oh, and Blaine?" Kurt called out to the shocked hobbit. "We're done."
So yeah, hope you liked it! I've got a few true story ideas to pose soon too. Just gotta see where the inspiration is!
