Yes, another lovely update just a mere two hours after the previous. Shocking, I know.
Thoughts on today's episode will be shared at the end, if you are interested.
Disclaimer: Glee is not mine, and it will never be mine. If it was a lot of things would be different. But then, I suppose, if they were different Glee wouldn't be as amazing as it is.
"Hey, Kurt, mind if you do a duet with me?" Blaine said one day in the Warblers practice room. "Vincent and I were supposed to present one today, but unfortunately he's out sick."
"Of course," Kurt said, not one to pass up the chance to shine in the spotlight a bit. "What song are we going to do?"
"Two is Better Than One," Blaine said. "By Boys Like Girls."
"Really?" Kurt said. "You two were going to do that one?"
"Well, yeah," Blaine replied. "Vincent offered, and I thought it might be a good idea."
Kurt sighed. It seemed kind of obvious to him why Vincent would have chosen that particular song.
"Okay, let's do it," Kurt said, spurred on by a sudden burst of confidence (and perhaps the unpleasant idea of Blaine and Vincent together).
"Remember, all you have to sing is the Taylor Swift part," Blaine said. "It shouldn't be terribly difficult, if you know the song."
Brad stood up, swinging around his omnipresent gavel. "All right, then," he screamed above the chaotic sound. Dean was in another of his chocolate highs and had been strapped down to a chair with a jump rope; he was still bouncing up and down and chattering at the speed of light. "Blaine and Vincent were supposed to start us off with a duet today, but seeing as Vincent's not here – "
"Brad, Kurt's going to fill in," Blaine cut in quickly.
"Okay then, Blaine and Kurt, let's hear it!"
Blaine took Kurt's hand and pulled him up to the front of the room. Wes, David, Dare, and the triplets got up to do back-up harmonies.
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought
"Hey, you know, this could be something"
'Cause everything you do and words you say
You know that it all takes my breath away
And now I'm left with nothing
The way Blaine sang the song was so incredibly sexy. Kurt almost forgot to come in with his part when his partner threw a wink his way.
So maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember every look upon your face
The way you roll your eyes
The way you taste
You make it hard for breathing
'Cause when I close my eyes and drift away
I think of you and everything's okay
I'm finally now believing
Blaine took his hand and started swinging it. Pleasant feelings numbed his mind at the contact.
That maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
And maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking two is better than one
I remember what you wore on the first day
You came into my life and I thought, "Hey,"
Maybe it's true
That I can't live without you
Maybe two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
And you've already got me coming undone
And I'm thinking
I can't live without you
'Cause, baby, two is better than one
But there's so much time
To figure out the rest of my life
But I'll figure it out
When all is said and done
Two is better than one
Two is better than one
"Good job, guys," Robert said above the applause, probably trying to spare the group from Brad's booming voice. "We might have a song for sectionals, if we can arrange back-up vocals for everyone."
"Great job, Kurt," Blaine told him quietly with a shy smile. He let go of his hand and disappeared into the crowd.
Kurt found a wall to lean against, sighing his discontent.
If only the duet had changed anything... something between them. He was almost tired of wishing that every single touch and every single glance sent his way was real.
If only he knew it was.
Sorry for the shortness of the chapter. Perhaps the next few will be a bit longer. Also, about the song choice, Boys like Girls is one of my favorite bands, and it's been one of my most desperate dreams that Glee do one of their songs. But, you know, I suppose they never will. I thought this song described Klaine's first meeting perfectly, although again, it might just be me. Still, I hope you enjoyed this short little chapter.
So. Tonight's episode.
[SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER]
I have to say, I did enjoy it. I got some laughs out of it. Finn's break down of the drunk stereotypes was hilarious, and Sue was wonderfully horrible as usual.
Though my heart could have suffered a lot less panic if Blaine hadn't had a FREAKING SEXUALITY CRISIS.
I wanted to reach through the TV screen, shake him, and yell, "YOU'RE GAY. YOU'RE GAY. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FIGURE IT OUT? AND WITH RACHEL BERRY? OF ALL PEOPLE?"
I probably could have tolerated it more if it hadn't been Rachel. Because I detest her. Seriously. I don't think I've ever been so happy that a guy found out he was gay.
Well, until next time. I don't want my AN to be longer than the actual story. Also, I have sorely underestimated the power that reviews have of making my day. So please. Feel free to leave behind another.
Oh, and one more thing, ideas for future chapters are welcome. If you haven't noticed, all my chapter names are made of two non-related things that are sort-of central to the plot of the chapter/one shot. So ideas are most welcome!
