The Klaine Diaries-Regionals
The songs were selected, the dance moves were perfect, and everything was set for the big day. The group had settled on 'Raise your Glass' as their big number and of course Candles for newly loved up Klaine.
The Warblers piled into the bus, anxious and excited. The acapella singers went through their harmonies one last time then they arrived.
British Alex tagged along as technical support, he wasn't a singer but he wanted to be involved. Show time was getting nearer, the green room was filled with various vocal warm ups and panics over fluff on blazers.
Kurt and Blaine sat on the couch, talking over the duet.
"And then you sing the high note on the key change" Kurt nodded, eyes wide and mouth closed.
"And we hold the last note for 4 beats" Kurt simply nodded again; it was like he was worried if he spoke then he would use all is voice up.
The lights flashed, Blaine rose "Show time".
The Boy's in love stood backstage, Kurt nervously cupping his hands, Blaine psyching himself up.
"Has anyone ever literally died on stage?" The taller of the two avoid looking at his boyfriend.
"Are you nervous?" Blaine asked in a strangely sexy way.
"Please don't judge me" He smirked "this is the first time I've performed in front of a competition audience and I have this nightmare that I'm going to forget the lyrics or I'm going to sing and nothing comes out" Blaine was looking right at Kurt "okay you can judge me"
"I think it's adorable, I think your adorable" he placed his hands on the nervous one's shoulders and continued, "the only people who are going to be dying tonight are the people in that audience, because we are going to kill this thing" Blaine squeezed his shoulders "come on, lets go"
The power lines went out, and I am all alone
But I don't really care at all, not answering my phone.
Kurt started, he looked out to the seemingly monstrous audience, he was shaky, and he started to panic inside. Then a reassuring voice started to sing.
All the games you play,
The promises you made,
Couldn't finish what you started,
Only darkness still remains.
He walked round Kurt, not losing eye contact, Kurt flashed an adorable smile.
Lost sight, couldn't see,
The boy's voices joined, Kurt still sporting an ever so slightly flirtatious smile.
When it was you and me,
Blow the candles out,
Looks like a solo tonight,
I'm beginning to see the light.
No gimmicks, no flashy dance routines, just two in love, facing each other singing beautifully.
Blow the candles out,
Looks like a solo tonight,
But I think I'll be alright.
Kurt now faced the audience, a little more comfortable with the situation, Blaine was still beaming in Kurt's direction.
One day, you will wake up,
With nothing but your sorry's,
Blaine sang with the emotion he first felt when he sang teenage dream to this same boy, giving it everything.
And some day, you will get back,
Everything you gave me
As Kurt belted out the note that was discussed in the green room, he was on the verge or tears, he held them in, for the sake of the team.
When it was you and me,
Blow the candles out,
Looks like a solo tonight,
I'm beginning to see the light.
Blow the candles out,
Looks like a solo tonight,
But I think I'll be alright.
"The New Directions you're going to Nationals!" The drunk voice spluttered out over the microphone.
Kurt's dearest friends had clenched it, he tried so hard to be happy for them, but he couldn't fool himself. He wanted to win, it would be like the cherry on top of the greatest cake ever made.
Clapping slowly he turned to the only person he knew could give him reassurance, Blaine gave him a shrug and a head shake.
Then the announcer was punched to the ground.
The bus ride home had a completely different atmosphere to the way there. Headphones were in, heads were leant against windows, and Kurt was on Blaine's lap. Obviously health and safety wasn't a concern as Blaine's strong arms provided Kurt with a seatbelt.
"I wanted to win" Kurt whimpered against Blaine's neck. Blaine nuzzled his face into Kurt's hair and kissed his scalp.
"I know, me too"
"Kurt!" a tight embrace was wrapped around Kurt's slender back. He quickly turned, skidding a bit on the mall's squeaky clean floor.
"Mercedes!" They hugged for about ten seconds; it wasn't long before they were complimenting each other's choice of outfit. The girl noticed Kurt's slight lack of enthusiasm. She was wearing the necklace Kurt bought her for her birthday and he hadn't so much as looked at it.
"You're upset about Regionals" The boy dressed in red nodded, "If it makes you feel any better I thought you were all kinds of awesome."
Blaine dressed in Blue emerged from a candy store, he had gotten hungry while waiting for Mercedes. When he arrived to the pair he had already eaten half of a chocolate lolly.
"Hey Mercedes" he offered her a bit of chocolate rabbit. She stared at the hungry Warbler. Who shuffled awkwardly. Kurt just looked at her confused.
"You with my boy Kurt?" Hand on hip she waited for a reply.
"I can confirm I am indeed with your boy Kurt" he wrapped the arm that wasn't holding candy around Kurt waist, who just giggled and lowered his head.
It took some convincing and the same smoothness that got Burt's approval but Mercedes eventually approved of 'The Klaine'.
The blue eyed boy had sent a congratulations text to every member of ND. He received the same reply almost every time, variations on:
Kurt you and the warblers were awesome, are you and that kid you sang with a thing now?
They were. They were a thing. A thing that Kurt couldn't quite believe, so much so that every reply he sent back to that question seemed to be a lie. Or a dream.
He sat on his bed, studying for a test that was basically pointless, but Kurt wasn't one to be sloppy. Blaine was in his bathroom, brushing his perfectly aligned teeth in his slacks and a white t-shirt. It was 10:37, Blaine hadn't stayed in his room this late before, but they had already chosen a film and a couple more hours wouldn't hurt.
Kurt's book of equations and pie charts was slammed shut by a minty smelling hand. Blaine put the movie in and lay down, tapping the bed for Kurt to come.
They had barely got into the second scene and they were asleep in each others arms.
