Thank you to everyone that has read and left reviews and messages for my first two chapters. They've meant a great deal and it makes me excited to keep writing. I'm very excited for this chapter because there is going to be so much happening and it really leads into the other chapters! I hope you enjoy reading it as much I did writing it. Enjoy!
(Still don't own glee no matter how much I wish I did.)
After Blaine got home from school that day, he laid down on his bed and thought about a few things. He thought about his homework load that was even bigger now that it was the weekend. He thought about the piece he wanted to do for Beatles week; he was debating between Hey Jude and Let It Be. You could never go wrong with those songs. But above all, he was thinking about the brown haired, blue eyed boy he had come to know. The happiness he felt normally intensified whenever Kurt was near. I mean, Kurt was super cute. Blaine wasn't going to deny that; he'd be a fool to think otherwise, but he'd only noticed it yesterday. But ever since they made up in the hallway, Kurt seemed to be the only thing on his mind and he managed to work his way into Blaine's dreams last night. Blaine put his hand over his face and tried to relax before diving into his homework while trying to ignore his heart pounding in his chest. It had only been 2 days but his heart normally acted like this whenever he thought of Kurt; which just so happened to be all the time. What happened? Blaine thought confused. Last week I would have given anything for Kurt to talk me because he was my friend. Now, I'm scared to talk to him because I just know I'm going to say something stupid. Kurt was just a boy. He'd had crushes before but never like this. Wait, was this a crush? Blaine sat up on his bed and pulled out a pad of paper to start drawing to get things…and people off his mind. The good thing about drawing for Blaine was the fact that as soon as he started, his mind took over and drew what it thought it needed. Almost like his drawings were his diary. Blaine put the pencil to the paper and started moving it. Five minutes later, Blaine knew what his subconscious was drawing but he couldn't seem to stop. He wanted to make sure that he got every part of Kurt's face so as not to make it any less beautiful than it already is in person. Blaine didn't know how this came over him so fast. He'd never fallen so fast before and now all Blaine wanted to do was be with Kurt all the time. He wanted to know him and everything about him. He wanted to learn Kurt's favorite food and his biggest pet peeves. He wanted to learn about his quirks that were embarrassing to admit and about his family. He knew that Finn from glee club was his step brother but he didn't know how and why that came about. Blaine wanted to know everything he could about this gorgeous boy who had overtaken his mind. He blushed as his heart started hammering against his rib cage as he dove more and more into his drawing.
Kurt had finally found the perfect song for Beatles week. He smiled proudly as he practiced in front of his mirror and blew it away. Could this song possibly win him a solo at Sectionals? Possibly. But he was told by someone not to focus so much on Sectionals and just focus on the song. "Do it because you love it and you're incredible." He was told that just this morning after he decided which song. Kurt was in a much better mood now that he wasn't mad at Blaine. Blaine made him happy at school which didn't come by easily for someone like Kurt. He always had the New Directions and Finn was his brother after all but no one understood like Blaine. No one in that choir room except for Blaine understands what it's like for Kurt every day. And Blaine doesn't even understand everything. Blaine got very lucky. For some reason, even though Blaine was out at school now, Kurt was still the favorite to be picked on. Only today did he get thrown into another dumpster by Karofsky. He was on his way to his car when he got pushed down on the sidewalk.
"Get out of my way!" That was Dave's favorite line even if Kurt was nowhere near him. Dave made sure to kick him in the side before passing him and leaving him on the sidewalk when he heard Kurt mutter something under his breath. Karofsky turned and lifted Kurt up by his collar. "What the hell did you just say, fag?"
"I said you're an asshole." Karofsky gave him a look of pure hate on his face. "I'll say that for the rest of my life and it won't change the fact that I'm gay and there's nothing you can do about it."
"We'll see about that." Karofsky dragged Kurt over to the nearest dumpster, picked him up without any force, and threw him inside. He knew by now to wait at least 5 minutes before leaving in case anyone decided he needed to be thrown in again. Kurt climbed out 5 minutes later and headed to his car. This was just like any other day, unfortunately but what was different about today was that he had someone just a couple minutes away to talk to now.
Blaine smiled proudly at his drawing. He had captured every detail on the face that shown so brightly in his mind. It was his best drawing yet. He heard his front door open and his name being called. Blaine put his notebook gently on his bed and left his room to head downstairs.
"Hi, Dad. How was your day?"
Blaine's father couldn't be more different from Blaine. He was very tall and had blonde hair and blue eyes. Not Kurt blue but blue nonetheless. He was muscular and always wore a suit jacket for his job. He was a very nice man but strict. Blaine got grounded once a few years ago for bringing home a 'B' on his report card.
"My day was busy. We had new trainees today and they just slow up the whole day and we get behind. And everyone knows we have to stay late if things don't get finished so we had to double staff today. It's going to be like this all week."
Blaine's dad was an accountant and had asked to head this new building for the company. He was the CEO of this building in a way.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I can help out if you need me to. My workload is kind of high right now but I can make time if you need any extra help."
"Why is your workload high? I thought you were taking classes that were easy."
"I am and they are. But I joined glee club and that's been taking up most of time now. Especially since the teacher wants me to sing a solo."
"You joined glee club? When did that happen?"
"I joined about a week and a half ago. I'm really loving it. We're doing Beatles week next week and I'm trying to decide on what song to sing."
"Blaine…we talked about this."
"I know, dad. But you don't have to worry. Being in glee club at this school doesn't automatically make you gay. We're not going to have a repeat of last year. And the glee club already knows I'm gay. I told them a couple of days ago and they were all okay with it. I'm not even the only gay kid in there. There's another boy named Kurt who is as well."
He tried to avoid smiling at the thought of Kurt.
"Okay. I know you really enjoyed it in Indiana but if something bad starts happening; anything starts happening, you're out of the club."
"It won't; I promise." Blaine was really hoping this was a promise he could keep.
Kurt arrived to school early on Monday morning to print off a paper in library since theirs was broken. Finn had decided it was a good idea to drink a glass of milk while waiting for his papers to print off…it wasn't. He was a little nervous for his solo today but he worked hard on it and he knew he was going to do well. When he arrived at the school there were only a fair few people there. He would have guessed there were no more than 10. On his way to the library, he heard the piano from the choir room playing with an angelic voice singing along. He'd recognize that voice anywhere. He'd heard it sing Last Friday Night in glee club. Blaine had a beautiful voice and it touched Kurt whenever he sang. He walked over to the door to stand and listen to the cute hazel eyed boy sing. It wasn't even a Beatles song so he couldn't have been practicing for this week in glee club. He let Blaine finish singing Bleeding Love before he applauded. Blaine turned around, a little shocked that he had an audience.
"Hey! I didn't know anyone was here." Blaine ignored his heart that was pounding so hard at this moment he was sure Kurt could hear it.
"I had to come early to use the printer. That was wonderful." Kurt looked at Blaine and noticed how pretty his eyes were.
"Oh, thanks. I had to come early because my dad had to bring me on his way to work since my car is in the shop. I got bored just sitting around and I saw the choir room was open. I can't help myself sometimes. The piano just calls to me and…you really don't care do you?" Blaine laughed a little.
"On the contrary. I enjoy people rambling. It helps me know I'm not the only one that does it." Kurt laughed and Blaine used all of his energy not to blush. "I didn't know you played piano."
"I've been playing since I was 8. My mom made me take lessons and I fell in love with it."
"I've always wanted to learn but I never had the motivation."
"I can teach you if you want. I'm not the best in the world but I can teach you the basics."
"That'd be awesome. I'm not free today but maybe tomorrow?"
"Yeah! You can come to my house if you want." Kurt gave him a look and Blaine got terrified that he came on too strong. He barely knew Kurt. Why did he have to invite him over?
"I can do that."
"Great. We'll talk about it later in math then."
"Yeah…well, I have to go print this paper off. I'll see you later, Blaine."
Kurt left the room leaving Blaine standing there in shock. He was finally able to hang out with Kurt. He could finally start being with him outside school. While he was trying to wrap his head around this thought, Kurt was having the same feelings as he headed to the library.
"Alright! Welcome to Beatles week!" Everyone clapped as Mr. Schue announced Beatles week again. Every time Kurt saw one of the glee kids in the hall since he brought it up, that's all they were talking about. "Who's going first?"
Kurt raised his hand eagerly. "I have something prepared Mr. Schue and if it's alright with you, I'd really like to go."
"Of course, Kurt. Whenever you're ready."
Kurt walked up to the front of the classroom while Rachel Berry looked a little angry at the fact that her voice wasn't picked to shine first this week. Kurt didn't care. Rachel got solo after solo and it was Kurt's turn this time. The music started and he began to sing.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these sunken eyes and learn to see. All your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free.
That was all it took. Blaine couldn't remove his eyes from Kurt. He was memorizing every part of the face that got moisturized every night. The eyes that were bluer than the bluest ocean. The hair that was swept to the side and kept in place. The smile that could make anyone weak at the knees.
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly. Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird fly, blackbird fly. Into the light of the dark black night. Blackbird singing in the dead of night. Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, you were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Everyone applauded Kurt and his solo and it took just a couple of seconds for Blaine to break out of his trance before he started applauding too. It happened; just like that it happened. He didn't know how and he didn't why but it happened. Blaine fell in love with Kurt just as quickly as it took for him to breathe.
Blaine had to be with Kurt before tomorrow. He had to. He needed to be with him all the time. There was a part of him now that belonged to Kurt and he wanted to spend every moment with him. After glee club ended, Kurt was heading out of the room and into the hall. He wanted to speak with Kurt alone but he was being talked to by everyone congratulating him on the great job he did on his solo. When Mercedes finally kissed him on the cheek and walked away, Blaine called after him.
"Hey, Kurt! Wait up!"
Kurt stopped in his tracks and looked around to find Blaine running at him.
"That was amazing! I didn't know you could sing like that. I've actually never heard you sing before now that I'm thinking about it."
"I don't get a lot of opportunities to. With Rachel and Finn and now you to sing lead, no one really gets a chance."
Blaine felt a tinge of guilt that he was keeping Kurt from singing solos.
"That's really not fair. That was incredible."
"Thanks Blaine. I really appreciate that." Kurt gave him a smile and Blaine was using his entire will power to avoid kissing him.
"You're welcome. Hey, Kurt? I have a question for you." He took a deep breath and dug his hands in his pockets so Kurt couldn't see them trembling in fear. "Do you…"
"Hey, Kurt!"
Kurt turned around to see a boy in a Dalton blazer running towards him. Kurt smiled the biggest smile Blaine had ever seen.
"Hey!" Kurt ran up to this boy, gave him a hug and gave him a kiss on the cheek as soon as the hug that felt like forever ended. Blaine was paralyzed.
"How'd the solo go?" This boy asked. He was slightly taller than Blaine but still shorter than Kurt. He had brown eyes and brown hair and had a smile on his face showing his perfectly straight teeth.
"I'd like to think I did a good job. Even Rachel complimented me so that has to be a good sign."
"That's great! I'm incredibly proud of you."
They stared at each other for a few moments before Kurt looked up.
"Oh! Excuse me. Where are my manners? This is Blaine. Blaine…this is my boyfriend!"
Boyfriend? Blaine felt his heart fall from his chest to the floor.
"It's a pleasure to meet you. Kurt has told me so much about you. My name's Sebastian. Sebastian Smythe."
What? What a cliffhanger! I've been looking forward to this chapter since the idea for this story came into mind. I love the reviews so please keep them coming! Coming up on Chapter 4; Blaine gives Kurt his first piano lesson. We get to find out a little about Blaine's past and the story of Kurt and Sebastian. However, the piano lessons are becoming a little too much for Kurt. Why?
