I do not own Glee or anything recognizable nor do I own the songs used in this chapter. The songs are: The Old College Try by The Mountain Goats, Jukebox Hero by Foreigner, and briefly as a ringtone, Whipped Cream by Ludo. I finally got to use it! Yay!
Narrator: So I don't know why anyone would miss Glee but just in case you did, here's what's been happening: Dave sang a song for Kurt about his feelings and Kurt realized Blaine was a stick-in-the-mud and called it quits. Finn sang a song for Mercedes and now they're together. Kurt sang to Dave and now they're dating. Puck brought down the house and the Safe Sex assembly with his badassedness and that's what you missed on GLEE!
Ok so this chapter takes place about a week after the last one. Everyone else did their Glee assignment but they suck so who cares? The song Dave and Kurt sing in this chapter is the Title song! Yay! And once again, if you have nothing nice to say, keep it to yourself. I do not accept flames.
For clarification, Kurt will be singing in italics and Dave will be singing in bold.
Now on to the Glee!
Glee! Glee! Glee!
A week into their relationship and Kurt still couldn't manage to go an hour without thinking about the softness of Dave's lips or how strong his hands felt when they were clutching his hips. He felt his skin flush as he thought about their activities of the past week. They still hadn't had sex, not because they didn't want to, but because someone was always home at either of their houses and Kurt refused to lose his virginity in the back of a car. That was just TOO tacky. But tonight Carole and his dad were going to Columbus for a few days on a mini-honeymoon and he had managed to bribe Finn with being his personal chef for a week as long as he didn't come home before noon the next day. He was determined to finally get Dave naked and alone. He grinned to himself as he walked into the choir room and sat down in his usual spot waiting for Dave, Mercedes, and of course Finn.
As Dave walked in he smiled at Kurt but stopped to talk to Mr. Schue first. The teacher smiled and nodded and went to talk to the band as Dave took his seat next to Kurt, "Mr. Schue says we'll be able to sing as soon as everyone gets here."
Kurt took a deep breath and smiled, trying to hide his nerves. It didn't fool Dave though. He picked up one small delicate hand and brushed his lips over the knuckles. "Don't worry Fancy. We're gonna rock this song and everyone will be so fucking jealous of us and our hot gay love."
His attempt to make Kurt laugh and forget his nerves worked and Kurt bit his lip to contain a girly giggle. Just then the last stragglers made their way into the room and Mr. Schue called for everyone's attention, "Alright everyone sit down. We're in for a treat today. One of our newest couples would like to sing a song before we get started. Dave, Kurt, the floor is yours."
The boys stood up and walked to the center of the room, Kurt grabbing two stools and Dave grabbing the same acoustic he'd used to serenade Kurt not much more than a week before.
Settling onto the stools they looked into each others eyes and nodded and Dave began to pluck out a slow melody on the guitar as someone in the band chimed in with a keyboard.
"From the housetops to the gutters
From the ocean to the shore
The warning signs have all been bright and garish
Far too great in number to ignore"
"From the cities to the swamplands
From the highways to the hills
Our love has never had a leg to stand on
From the aspirins to the cross-tops to the Elevils
But I will walk down to the end with you
If you will come all the way down with me"
"From the entrance to the exit
Is longer than it looks from where we stand
I want to say I'm sorry for stuff I haven't done yet
Things will shortly get completely out of hand
I can feel it in the rotten air tonight"
"In the tips of my fingers
In the skin on my face
In the weak last gasp of the evening's dying light
In the way those eyes I've always loved illuminate this place
Like a trashcan fire in a prison cell"
"Like the searchlights in the parking lots of hell
I will walk down to the end with you
If you will come all the way down with me"
They ended the song with tears in their eyes knowing that the other truly meant it. It was crazy to fall in love so fast but they had and they didn't regret it. The end of the song was greeted with cheers of their classmates but no one noticed the face in the window of the door. The face with over-gelled hair and bushy eyebrows pinched in annoyance...
Blaine POV
Flashback...
"Blaine? We need to talk..."
Blaine felt his heart stutter at those words. Those were the words that sounded the death knell for many a relationship. He felt his forehead break out in sweat as he thought about not being with Kurt.
"About what? Are you ok? Did something happen?" He put as much concern into his voice as he could, hoping to make Kurt rethink what he knew was about to happen.
"No everything's fine. I just wanted to talk to you... about us. Blaine I don't think this is working anymore. I mean I really like you but I think we're just supposed to be friends. I need passion and you won't give it to me. I need to feel alive when we touch and it's just not happening. I'm sorry I really am. I like you a lot but I don't want to be with you anymore." The dark-haired boy felt his heart break and anger swell up in his chest. Blaine didn't think it was possible to sound uncaring and concerned at the same time but Kurt somehow managed it.
"What are you talking about Kurt? I love you! How can you just dump me over the phone like this? Didn't I mean anything to you? I thought we had something special-"
Kurt scoffed and interrupted him mid-rant, "Oh please Blaine like you were really into me. We both know we want different things."
"Like what?"
"LIKE SEX BLAINE! I can't stand it anymore! We're teenagers we're supposed to fuck like crazy and you won't even let me touch you below the shoulder. Do you really think that's healthy?"
Blaine felt his face flush in rage at Kurt's words, "SEX? You're breaking up with me because I won't have sex with you? Why can't we just talk about this? I know you think you're ready but-"
Yet again Kurt cut him off before he could finish his beautiful voice rising in anger, "No Blaine! I AM ready! You're not and I'm not chaining myself to some prude who puts all his sex issues off on me. YOU'RE not ready Blaine. I AM. And if you'd just said that instead of putting it all on me then we might have worked this out but I've had enough! I'm done! I want someone who won't be afraid to touch me and I'm going to find him."
Blaine heard a click and looked at his phone in shock. Kurt had hung up on him. But more importantly, Kurt had his sights set on someone else. And he would find out who and make them pay. No one touched what was his. He thought of some faceless mans hands on Kurt's milky skin and didn't even feel his phone snap in his hand. Oh yes, someone was going to pay...
Glee!Glee!Glee!
Hummel House. That day after school.
Kurt practically shook with excitement as he waved at the back of his father's truck as it drove down the street. He was nervous for tonight and immediately went back into the house to make sure everything was perfect, shrugging off the feeling of being watched as nerves. After all who would want to watch him? His life was boring for the most part. Forgetting about the creepy feeling he placed his ipod in his ihome and walked into his closet, hearing Foreigner blast through his sound system he flashed back to Glee that afternoon after he and Dave had finished their song to loud applause from their friends, Puck had gotten up to sing a song and as much as he wasn't too much of a classic rock fan, he had enjoyed Puck's performance.
Earlier that day in Glee.
Puck stood and asked everyone to head to the auditorium for his song. When asked why he just said, "This is gonna be much more epic on stage." Everyone had just rolled their eyes and followed him to the auditorium, settling in their seats and waiting for Puck to start.
Suddenly the lights went down and Puck appeared in the darkness, backlit by stage lights of all different colors as a heavy bassline started up. Kurt had to admit that Puck was certainly making more of an effort in Glee and he was actually really good at performing. Theatricality seemed to be his forte.
"Standing in the rain, with his head hung low
Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold out show
Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene
Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream
He heard one guitar, just blew him away
He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day"
Kurt sat in shock. Not only was Puck's voice perfect for this song but he really got into it, putting all his passion and determination into the lyrics. It struck a chord in his chest and he found himself unable to look away, awed by what he was seeing.
"Bought a beat up six string, in a secondhand store
Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure
That one guitar, felt good in his hands,
Didn't take long, to understand
Just one guitar, slung way down low
Was a one way ticket, only one way to go
So he started rockin', ain't never gonna stop
Gotta keep on rockin', someday gonna make it to the top"
Suddenly more lights lit behind the mohawked teen and revealed someone else on stage. Considering the height of the person it could only be Finn so he looked at Mercedes finding a shocked look on her face as well. When the hell had he even gotten up there? He was with Mercedes when they came in. His thoughts were interrupted as they began the chorus, Finn singing backup while made the song come to life in his voice. It was almost inspiring.
"And be a juke box hero! (got stars in his eyes,)
He's a juke box hero!
He took one guitar, (juke box hero, stars in his eyes)
Juke box hero, (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive tonight!
In a town without a name, in a heavy downpour
Thought he passed his own shadow, by the backstage door
Like a trip through the past, to that day in the rain
And that one guitar, made his whole life change
Now he needs to keep on rockin', he just can't stop
Gotta keep on rockin', that boy has got to stay on top!
And be a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
He's a juke box hero, got stars in his eyes
Yeah, juke box hero, stars in his eyes
With that one guitar, (stars in his eyes)
He'll come alive, come alive tonight...
As he ended the song he stood on the stage panting and waited for a response from the gleeks in the seats in front of the stage. He waited for about thirty seconds before he nervously ran his hand along his mohawk and said, "Well?"
Suddenly the auditorium burst into sound as everyone jumped up and, well for lack of a better word, freaked the fuck out. They rushed up onstage and all he could hear was exclamations of "SO FUCKING COOL!" and "OMG That was amazing!". The most important thing he heard though was Mr. Schue exclaiming after everyone had quited down, "Well guys looks like we just found our new number for Sectionals!"
The look on Puck's face was one of absolute shock and complete joy.
Kurt was drawn out of his musings and back to the present by his phone vibrating on his nightstand.
'I think I'm entitled to your body
Got a little problem with personal space and I've been
Poundin' the Jager my breath and behavior
Have been driving the patrons away
I want it with whipped cream on it baby
Gimme gimme gimme your love'
He ran to pick it up as he heard Dave's ringtone. He didn't really know why but he had set Dave's ringtone to Whipped Cream by Ludo. For some reason the song just made him think of his boyfriend. He tripped in his hurry to get to the phone before it went to voicemail and gingerly picked himself back up, brushing imaginary dust off his clothes.
He made it to his nightstand without further injury and answered the phone, "Hello my sweet sexy hunk."
A low chuckle greeted him before he heard the deep rumble of Dave's voice, "Hey Fancy. So are your parents gone yet?"
He grinned. He loved his one-track mind. "Why yes they have. I'm just about to kick Finn out so why don't you get your sexy ass over here before I decide to invite my other boyfriend over instead," he teased. In response he got a heart-stopping growl and a quick, "I'm on my way," before the called was disconnected. Kurt stared at the phone for a second. If he wasn't so goddamn horny he might be pissed that David hung up on him. As it was he just stood and went to the top of the stairs to his basement bedroom. "Finn! Are you still here?" he yelled to the rest of the house.
After getting a response from the second floor he yelled, "Well then get the fuck out!" and went back to his closet trying to find something sexy to wear and smiling when he heard Finn yell goodbye and the front door slam. Tonight was gonna be a wild night. He couldn't wait.
