[A/N] So this is a really short fill in chapter and I wrote and uploaded it on my iPod because my laptops being a poop, so apologies for any mistakes or random autocorrects. I'm also sorry for the length and the time it's taken me to actually write and upload. I've not had much time for writing recently! Enjoy :)
The weekend passed in a blur of discussing song choices with Tina whilst hanging around the mall and taking my little sister, Dani, to her friends' birthday party. By the time Monday came around, I was looking forward to the week ahead. Seeing who performed what in glee, going to Kurt's house- this week was going to be good. Well I thought it would until I was approached by one Rachel Berry in glee, bearing an invitation.
"David! How was your weekend?" she asked. I once more ignored the fact that Tina was probably smirking again.
"It was good, thanks Rachel," I replied.
"That's good. Now I have something I'd like to ask the glee club, but since you're here I'll ask you now," she said. "My equally talented cousin is having a party this weekend and he's asked me along and said I can invite some friends so I was wondering if you, along with the rest of the glee club, would like to go."
I wasn't sure whether to marvel at the fact that I'd been asked to a party or at the fact that Rachel had just admitted somebody was equally talented to her. I peered over at Tina, as if looking for whether or not she would go too. She just shrugged under my gaze, leaving it up to me to decide.
"That sounds good, Rachel. I'll see what I'm doing," I said, turning back to face the small brunette who grinned at me eagerly.
"Great! I'll text you the details!" she said.
Most of the rest of the glee club agreed to go to the party. I didn't blame them - it was a rare occasion that a member of glee was invited to a party, no matter who was throwing it. We'd had glee parties before, which were fun and usually ended with a game of truth or dare which turned into a very embarrassing moment for at least one member. I recalled the last one - hosted by Mercedes Jones - ended in Sam Evans dressed in his boxers and dancing like a hula girl. Mike still had a video of it on his phone.
Performances were spread throughout the week and it was quite worrying just how many people had chosen to do Taylor Swift and Adele songs. My performance came on Tuesday and I was quite excited about it. Tina and I had spent ever so long discussing song choice and we'd finally decided something that kind of got at what I was trying to say without confessing all.
I shot a smile at Tina as I positioned myself an she grinned back at me.
Called you for the first time yesterday
I finally found the missing part of me
I felt so close but you were far away
Left me without anything to say
Okay, so it was probably totally gay that I was singing a song by The Jonas Brothers, but Tina had convinced me that it was the perfect song.
Now I'm speechless over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this lovebug again
I can't get your smile out of my mind
I think about your eyes all the time
You're beautiful but you don't even try
Modesty is just so hard to find
I sang that with a smile, relating the lyrics to Kurt. Tina was grinning at me, obviously understanding what I was thinking about.
Now I'm speechless over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this lovebug again
Hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this lovebug again
I called her for the first time yesterday
Everything I wished that it would be
Suddenly I forgot how to speak
Hopeless, breathless, baby can't you see?
Now I'm speechless over the edge, I'm just breathless
I never thought that I'd catch this lovebug again
Now I'm hopeless, head over heels in the moment
I never thought that I'd get hit by this lovebug again
I got my fair share of applause and cheer, Tina's being exceptionally louder. I smiled, proud of my performance and went and took my seat between Tina an Rachel.
"That was really good, Dave," Rachel said as I approached. Tina nodded in agreement and patted my shoulder.
When glee finished, Tina hurried off to meet her parents and left me to walk to my car. Rachel, once again, caught up with me.
"Your song today was really good, Dave," she said with a smile.
"Thank you," I muttered in reply.
"So, did Tina like it?"
I looked at her with a raised eyebrow and said "As far as I know... Why do you ask?"
"Well the song was for her, right?" she asked, furrowing her brow.
"What?" I choked. My eyes grew wide as I thought about what she was implying.
"I just thought... the way you were looking at her when you sang and the way you act around each other? Aren't you dating?"
The idea was almost laughable. Dating Tina would be like dating my sister. Okay, the idea wasn't laughable, it was plain gross. But the more I thought about it, the better it sounded. It would get Rachel off my back and allow me to sing as many songs about Kurt in glee without people asking questions.
Which is what lead me, in a spur of the moment decision, to say, "Yeah, we're dating."
I instantly regretted it. Saying that was just another reminder of how far in the closet I was. I was so far in the closet that I had a fake girlfriend now? And what if that spread around? It would effect Tina's chance with Mike and my chance with Kurt. Well, what little chance I had.
Okay, I had no chance.
"Oh, cool. Tina's really nice and really pretty. Erm, I'll see you tomorrow," Rachel replied and scurried off before I had chance to correct myself.
So now I was dating Tina. That was just perfect.
[A/N] 2 authors notes? Anyway the song is Lovebug by The Jonas Brothers and I may have changed a word or two. Thanks for reading :)
