Two
Concert
"AAAHHH!" Blaine screamed for about the fiftieth time within the hour. He might've dipped into his parent's funds the teeniest bit for this trip. But who cares? They were in section F3. Just in case you aren't familiar, that's right in front. Literally right in front. Well, maybe a little off to the side, but still.
"Blaine, you need to calm down," Kurt demanded, but he was giggling himself. While he wouldn't admit it to anyone, he was pretty excited. Not as excited as Blaine was, who was now running up to the "tour shirts" stand with Kurt in tow like a five-year old boy, but excited nonetheless.
"Really, Blaine? Really?" Kurt exclaimed, looking down at Blaine's shirt. It was bright pink, and in bright blue bubble letters read, "I WANNA SEE YOUR PEACOCK!" with "pea" and "cock" on two separate lines. He still couldn't wipe the grin off his face, however, seeing his boyfriend standing there in that shirt with that goofy grin on his face.
They made their way to their seats, and when they were there, Blaine reached out and touched the stage, then retracted his hands and giggled like a teenage girl. The opening act(s) were good, but long. After a while, Kurt could see Blaine getting antsy. Finally, the lights dimmed. Kurt covered his ears daintily as the crowd erupted, as did his boyfriend, shrieking, "WHOOO!" and jumping up and down in his seat. A video began playing on the big screens, and before they knew it, Katy was on stage, singing the first lines of "Teenage Dream." Kurt smiled, remembering the song that Blaine had practically serenaded him with when they first met. Blaine grabbed his hand and squeezed it, and Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder once he had settled down a bit.
She began singing "Hummingbird Heartbeat," and hearing the words for the first time, Kurt couldn't help but think of Blaine, who was now singing along.
A girl dressed as a slot machine came out while Katy was speaking, and Blaine squeezed his hand tighter, apparently knowing what was coming next. "This is Slut," she said, and Kurt gasped, as did the slot machine. "No, Slot. S-l-o-t, not s-l-u-t." She paused, then added, "You are a slut, though," to which Kurt did laugh despite himself. "And she's got a really cool party trick, you guys wanna see?" She supposedly pressed a button on the slot machine and it began shaking and making "slot" noises, and the crowd went wild for reasons Kurt couldn't fathom. Then he understood when the rest of the music started. He looked over at Blaine, who was belting out the lyrics.
"Shut up and put your money where your mouth is, that's what you get for waking up in Vegas!" Blaine turned to Kurt with a look on his face that could only be described as childish joy.
She started singing a song Kurt didn't recognize but immediately disliked once she got to the chorus. At the end the dancers gave Katy a bite of their giant brownie and Kurt couldn't help but think of all the carbs a brownie that size would have in it.
Another song started that caused a bright red blush to spread across the countertenor's face.
"I wanna see your peacock, cock, cock!" Suddenly Kurt understood his boyfriend's shirt. Blaine, having apparently lost all self control, turned to Kurt and started singing along playfully, taking Kurt's hands and dancing him around with him.
"Word on the street you've got somethin' to show me, me,
magical, colorful, Mr. Mystery, ee
I'm intrigued, for a peek, heard it's fascinating
Come on baby, let me see, what you hiding underneath."
"You are so disgusting!" Kurt squealed as Blaine spun him around in a circle and continued singing along, urging Kurt to follow his lead.
"C'mon, it'll be fun!" he said over the music, and Kurt shook his head, but the smile on his face was practically permanent at this point. Blaine shot him puppy dog eyes and Kurt eventually agreed, and they sang the pre-chorus together. Blaine was taken aback. "How do you know this song?"
Kurt simply winked and sang, "Are you brave enough to let me see your peacock? Don't be a chicken boy, stop actin' like a bee-otch. Imma peace out if you don't give me the pay off, c'mon baby let me see, what you hidin' underneath."
The song ended and Katy walked downstage in a gorgeous Old-Hollywood esque dress. "I don't know what that brownie did to me," she started, "but it sure feels good." The crowd erupted and Kurt felt Blaine's hand slip into his. "Is it alright if I get a little bit sexual?" she slurred, and Kurt's eyes widened and cheeks became even redder. He turned to Blaine who was shifting in his seat.
The two managed to get through that experience. Katy brought an attractive guy on stage and she kissed his cheek and she did the same. Then, she began singing a song that Kurt found himself vaguely remembering from somewhere…
"This was never the way I planned, not my intention," she sang at a much slower tempo then the original, "I got so brave drink in hand, lost my discretion."
She sang the first verse and sped it up at the chorus and Kurt saw Blaine with a look on his face that said, "please don't make the connection, please don't make the connection…"
"I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry Chapstick. I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it." A smile spread across Kurt's face as the chorus continued. He linked his hand once more with Blaine's.
After I Kissed A Girl she performed a song Kurt wasn't familiar with, but in which Blaine sang all the lyrics, even the ones about "foreplay" and the f-bomb.
Finally, a song Kurt knew all the lyrics to and liked. E.T. began and Kurt found himself singing along with Blaine.
"You're from a whole 'nother world, a different dimension, you open my eyes, and I'm ready to go, lead me into the light!"
After that song she sang two others Kurt didn't know but found himself enjoying. Then, she slowed it down a bit and began singing the third song that night that caused Kurt's mind to drift to Blaine. And not just because he was singing all the lyrics softly in Kurt's ear the entire time.
"Cuz I know you're out there, and your, your love came for me. It's a crazy idea that you were made perfectly for me, you'll see. Just like the movies, that's how it will be. Cinematic and dramatic with the perfect ending. It's not like movies, but that's how it will be. When he's the one, you'll come undone, and your world will stop spinning. And it's just the beginning."
Kurt turned to Blaine the same time Blaine turned to Kurt. Kurt noticed (and wouldn't called him overly-emotional and cheesy had he not been doing the exact same thing) that Blaine's eyes were glimmering slightly with tears that hadn't yet fallen. Without thinking they leaned in and pressed their lips together, not caring who saw or who cared.
"Awwww," Katy cooed, and it took them a while to notice she was looking directly at them.
Kurt and Blaine's hands stayed linked the entire remainder of the show.
"Thank you all for coming out tonight!" The curtain closed and Kurt immediately started towards the exit.
"My feet are killing me!" Blaine laughed, and Kurt turned to face him, but said nothing. He attempted a glare but ended up giggling with his boyfriend.
They made their way out of the crowd and to Kurt's car. As they were driving home, Blaine couldn't stop gushing. "And then with the cartoons and the karaoke…it was totally awesome!"
"I know, Blaine, I was there too, remember?" The taller boy said, trying to sound sarcastic but his smile had become permanent at this point.
"Thank you so much for going with me, Kurt," Blaine said, "I can't think of anyone I'd rather have spent it with. I love you, you know? More than anything else in the whole wide world. More than Harry Potter."
"And I love you more than anything else on the planet, including Wicked," Kurt responded, and he had to remember that he was supposed to keeping his eyes on the road.
I know it took a while to update, but, you know…I don't really have an excuse. :(
I'm sorry if I rushed through this chapter. I picked the moments I thought had the best Klaine potential and just put those in. :D Plus, I just wanted Katy Perry to acknowledge the existence of Klaine at some point.
And yes, the bit after Not Like The Movies is incredibly cheesy, but hey, who doesn't love cheese?
I just played off what I saw in the videos of her concerts and I what I remembered myself. I hope you enjoyed reading, the next chapter will be when they get back to the hotel, and the one following that will be driving back home.
And, in case you were curious, those "I WANNA SEE YOUR PEACOCK!" shirts are real. I saw a dude wearing one at the concert I went to. And another guy with peacock feathers sticking out of the back of his pants. O.O
Until next time! *lessthanthree*
