Blaine smiled against Kurt's lips, happily surprised at the kiss he was presented with as he walked in the choir room.
"And what was that for, Mr. Hummel?" he asked as Kurt pulled away.
"Just felt like kissing you. It felt right." Kurt responded, genuinely smiling for the first time in weeks.
Blaine smiled softly and hugged Kurt around the waist.
"Well then I can't disagree." Blaine said kissing Kurt's cheek.
"Blaine…" Kurt giggled sweetly. "I love you." he whispered as the rest of the new glee club shuffled in.
"So Mr. Shue is out today, but we still have to work on our set list for sectionals. I have ideas, but I'd also like to know what you'd like to do."
Joe and Blaine raised their hands tentatively.
"Yea guys?" Kurt said, smiling at his boyfriend.
Joe spoke first, a nervous quality to his voice.
"There's this new artist… his name is Darren Criss a-and I think Blaine's voice would be perfect for his songs." Blaine grinned and looked pleased.
"Thank you Joe! I um… I have one of his songs actually in my mind to sing a-and I'd like to try it out?" He asked, sending a nervous glance towards Kurt.
"Of course, we'd all love to hear it."
Blaine nodded and stood from his chair in the front row and took a seat at the piano, sending Brad an apologetic look.
"It um… sorta explains the situation Kurt and I are going through, so we might get a bit… emotional."
He started with a beautiful intro on the piano and carried his voice clearly through the choir room.
I've been alone…
Surrounded by darkness,
I've seen how heartless, the world
Can be…
He looked straight at Kurt and sent him a sad smile.
And I've seen you cryin'…
You felt like it's hopeless, but I'll always do my best
To make you see...
He stood up from the piano and walked over to Kurt, taking the pale boy's wrists in his hands.
Baby you're not alone,
Cuz you're here with me.
And nothings ever gonna bring us down
Cuz nothing can keep me
From loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be,
You know our love is all we need,
To make it through
He held Kurt close, singing the words meaningfully and let them back to the piano.
Now I know it ain't easy…
But it ain't hard tryin'
Every time I see you smiling,
And I feel you so close to me
And you tell me
He leans his forehead on Kurt's and held his boyfriend's face in his hands.
Baby you're not alone,
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cuz nothin can keep me from loving you,
And you know it's true.
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need,
To make it through
He turned away from Kurt and back to the piano, passionately pounding the keys.
I still have trouble
I trip and stumble
Tryna make sense of things sometimes
He put on an exaggerated confused expression. His voice lowered appropriately at the next part.
I look for reasons.
But I don't need 'em.
All I need is to look in your eyes…
He looked deeply into Kurt's eyes, which were spilling tears, and smiled.
and I realized…
Baby I'm not alone!
Cuz you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna take us down
Cuz nothing will ever bring us down
Cuz nothing can keep me from loving you…
And you know it's true
His own tears were falling as he sang the last few lines.
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through, ooh
Kurt let out a small sob and Blaine turned away from the piano, holding him tightly.
Cause you're here with me
And nothing's ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing, nothing, nothing can keep me from lovin' you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
You know our love is all we need
Our love is all we need to make it through
He finished, holding Kurt closely, not noticing the loud applause and teary faces.
"I love you. I will always love you, and I will never, ever stop. As long as you love me, we can get through anything, ok?" Blaine whispered tearfully.
"I love you too." He turned to the class and smiled. "You can leave… Blaine and I ar—" he was cut off by a very familiar voice.
"Kurt? Oh my god Kurt!" the short brunette jumped into Kurt's arms.
"Rachel? Wh-what are you doing here?" Kurt asked nervously.
"I'm home for the weekend! Isn't that great? NYADA dies this things that a dorm gets a weekend off! NYADA is so wonderful Kurt! In really wish you would've gotten in too!" she paused for a breath, but didn't notice Kurt's posture change. "The kids are amazing and -so- talented! And Madame Tibbideaux is just so… helpful! Really! She said that with just a bit of breath training, I'd be a broadway star! Isn't that amazing?" Rachel didn't give Kurt a chance to respond before she was off again.
"Did you know that every week they give us tickets to a broadway show? This week it was Mama Mia. Which I'm not too fond of, but you know, it's broadway!" Rachel bounced excitedly and didn't notice Kurt's distressed look, Blaine however, did.
"Rachel just shut up! Can't you tell this is hurting him? You got in while Kurt deserved it more than you! He didn't screw up at his audition, you did! But you still got in! You got in, and he didn't. He's left in Lima, postponing his dreams and you're just rubbing it in his face! So shut up and stop thinking about yourself!" Blaine fumed at Rachel, who finally realized the stiff, crying boy beside her.
"Kurt… Kurt I'm sorry. Blaine's right. Please forgive me?" Rachel pleaded.
"I-I don't know. Can we just not talk about this? I was having a really good day before you showed up and I'd like to keep it that way… can you leave?" Kurt asked, sadness and resentment lacing his words.
Rachel nodded sadly and turned around, leaving Kurt sobbing into Blaine's shoulder.
"Hey hey baby…" Blaine said soothingly. "You want to go home?" Blaine asked as he noticed that they were the only ones left in the choir room.
Kurt nodded into his shoulder, sniffling.
"Ok. Let's go then." Blaine said, kissing Kurt's forehead and leading them to Blaine's car. "I'm so sorry Kurt. We can just go home and cuddle if you want."
Kurt smiled weakly. "I'd like that… yeah."
A/N: So another bad chapter… sorry. Can I get some feedback, though? I got no reviews for last chapter, and that made me sad. You can tell me what I'm doing wrong and even give me ideas for future chapters!
Btw- sorry for the long chapter… didn't know where to end!
