A/N: So...I'm finally updating quicker then I was hoping to! Now...this episode is a very fun one for me! Bills, Bills, Bills is one of my favorite Destiny's Child songs and it was so awesome to see a Warbler take on! I love the awesome beat-boxing acapella-ness of it all! And all of the cool sounds that some of the Warblers made (I don't remember their names off-hand). And the whole Thriller/Heads Will Roll Superbowl Halftime Show-ish performance. I mean...this WAS the Superbowl Episode and all! And...I think I should state this here. I don't know one thing about Football. I don't really care about Football. Or...any sports in general. Sorry, if...this is a disappointment. Just...was never a sports fan. I'll do the best I can. Promise. Anyway, enjoy The Sue Sylvester Shuffle.

The Sue Sylvester Shuffle

Kurt

Kurt bounced at the door of The Lima Bean on the balls of his feet. He hasn't seen Blaine in 2 and ½ weeks. He wondered in his day-dreaming, head over heels mind if Blaine had come back any tanner. It would definitely bring out his hazel eyes. Those beautiful...deep...hazel...eye-

"KURT!" Kurt turned and grinned brightly as he and Blaine met in a tight, friendly hug. Kurt laughed and breathed in deeply. Blaine smelled like...coconut and...suntan lotion. Which smelled like...pineapple.

"Oh...I missed you so much..." Kurt exhaled.

"Shall we...?" Blaine let go and they made their way to their way to the front counter. "A Medium Drip for Me," Blaine spoke. The counter lady nodded and looked at Kurt.

"Grande Not-Fat Mocha, please." She nodded again and they waited for their coffee after they split the payment. "So um...how was-"

"Oh! Wait...hold on!" Blaine rustled through his bag. "I got...you...Oh! Here it is!" Blaine presented a little red box with a pretty lace pink bow. "I got you this...in California. I saw it and it screamed: KURT!" Kurt laughed at Blaine's overexaggerated expressions. Once they took their coffees and put the perfectly comfortable amount of sugar and milk in them, they sat at their usual table and Kurt opened up the box.

"Aw, Blaine..." Kurt blushed and took the gift out. It was a little pin that was a pair of pink sunglasses. "This is so cute." Kurt quickly placed it a little to the left of his pocket on his waistcoat. "Thank You." Kurt looked up and smiled in appreciation. "This is so sweet, thank you."

Blaine smiled as he caught Kurt up to his entire vacation in Cali. He even explained in every tiny detail of Cooper's proposal.

"Wow...I would've loved to see him point with every sentimental word he said." Kurt laughed.

"Oh...trust me. You missed a true eye-sore." Kurt laughed again. Blaine checked the time and nearly choked on his coffee. "Shit! We need to get to Dalton! School starts in less than an hour! If we leave now...we'll just make it!"

The Warblers were singing as they studied their sheet music as they began harmonizing. James giving amazing techno sound effects with just his vocal cords. Kurt went along with the rest of them. Being apart of the Warblers has become more and more enjoyable over the few months he's been apart of them. He still wished he could have a solo, though. He tried not to let jealousy fuel him as Blaine entered the room. Cute as ever. His hair slightly curly as he didn't put his best effort of gel in that day. But all possible jealousy of Blaine melted away, as Blaine began to sing. Cause Kurt... was in love with that voice!

Blaine

"At first we started out real cool
Taking me places I ain't never been
But now you're getting comfortable
Ain't doing those things you did no more

You're slowly making me pay for things
Your money should be handling."

Blaine reached into his blazer and pretended to throw out some cash. Putting as much passion into a 90's girl power anthem than his regular spew of P!nk, Katy Perry, and Maroon 5. And it was definitely a very...amazing, but also a distracting change of pace.

"And now you ask to use my car (car).
Drive it all day, and don't fill up the tank..."

Blaine jumped on the couch currently sat on, and pretended to drive down it as he walked across the edge. Using a steering wheel motion as he did. And just as casually jumped off for the next line.

"And you have the audacity
To even come and step to me
Ask to hold some money from me

Until you get your check next week!"

Blaine messed around with a chess board that was placed in the room for during half time breaks during Warbler sessions. Pulling off a perfect checkmate to the completely full board. Amazing Louis and Chad who sat there, studying the board.

"You trifling, good-for-nothing type of brother
Silly me
Why haven't I found another?"

Blaine interacted with Kurt. Who was still sitting on the couch. They sang together before Blaine made his way to the middle of the room. The Warblers dancing nsync-ly as Blaine pointed to them. All performing their actions perfectly at the same time.

"You trifling, good-for-nothing type of brother
Silly me
Why haven't I found another?

A baller!

When times get hard I need someone to help me out
Instead of,
A scrub like you who don't know what a man's about!"

Blaine then made his way to the Council's desk in a rush. Standing on top of it and singing proudly. Kurt stood to get a better view. And attempted to sing his voice out to not really get attention. But to also be heard in the commotion of voices all singing the Destiny's Child classic.

"Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill

I don't think you do
So you and me are through

You trifling, good-for-nothing type of brother!"

Blaine leaped off the desk. Hoping he didn't tragically fall and break anything. But thankfully, he stuck the landing and sang out as some of the Warblers did tricks and stunts in the middle of the room as they sang as well.

"Silly me

Why haven't I found another?!

You trifling, good-for-nothing type of brother

Oh silly me

Why haven't I found another?!

Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill!

I don't think you do
So you and me are through

Can you pay my bills?
Can you pay my telephone bills?
Do you pay my automo' bills?
If you did then maybe we could chill!

I don't think you do
So you and me are through!"

Applause reigned for a short while before Blaine proudly announced that: "Guys, I'd say we're ready for Regionals!" Everyone clapped and cheered each other on excitedly and then talked amongst themselves.

Kurt

"So...?" Blaine walked over to Kurt, who looked up with a smile.

"So...?" Kurt repeated, teasingly.

"Did you like it?" Blaine asked as they wandered into the hall where they could talk alone.

"I loved it. But I didn't think 90s Girl Power Anthems were your jam!" Blaine laughed at the humored sentiment. "But also...maybe not for Regionals. We should find something with a competitive edge." Kurt suggestion and Blaine hummed in agreement. "Look," Both boys stopped as Kurt made a little announcement. "My brother's...football game is this Friday. And...I'd like to know if you'd...wanna go. You won't...really know anyone there. But, this could be a chance for you to really meet the New Directions. And even my parents formally. I just figured...since you like sports-" Kurt paused as Blaine laughed. "...What?"

"Have you ever noticed you tend to ramble when you're nervous?" Kurt blushed as this fact about him was made known. "And to answer your question...I'd love to go. And I promise on my favorite brand of hair gel, that I won't wear the Dalton uniform." Kurt giggled and the two hugged. At the sound of Wes's gavel, the two boys attention was sparked back to the room.

"We better get back in there...Wes gets testy with "laters"." The two boys laughed as they made their way back into the room.

Blaine

"So...song suggestions and selections are this week. Nominations are welcome from any Warbler party." Wes announced as the actual meeting portion of the Warbler meeting commenced. "Would anyone like to suggest anything?" Wes asked. Kurt stopped himself from raising his hand.

"It's ok..." Blaine softly gave. Kurt shook his head. He didn't want to get into this argument again. After the tremendous embarrassment before, he did not want to wander into the Council's snake pit again.

"They're not gonna-" Kurt shook his head.

"You can have the solo, Blaine." Kurt raised his hand as Nick gave the suggestion of the highly unlikely final pick of Warrant's Cherry Pie. "Wes? Thad? David? Can I be excused?" He asked softly and calmly. Tears at the edge of his eyes. Threatening to spill.

"Yes, Kurt. You may." Wes gave back. In an attempting to be understanding tone.

Kurt made his way out, and once the double doors closed with a thud, he let it all out. He ran to the nearest bathroom and shoved himself in a stall. Curling into a ball and sobbing into his knees. Kurt just needed to accept...that in the Warblers, he would never get a solo. Blaine was their golden boy. He just had to live with it.

Blaine

Kurt sighed as he walked out of French Class. He trudged to his way to his dorm like a zombie. Not wanting to get anyone's attention. But also not wanting anyone to take utter concern or pity as well. Blaine noticed as he was talking to Trent and Nick about Jeff's suggestion of Owl City's Fireflies.

"Yeah...it's a good song, but-" He looked over and saw Kurt, red, puffy eyes and dried tears walking past. "I'll talk later..." He walked over to Kurt to stop him from running into a spew of Warbler hopefuls.

"Kurt?" The taller boy looked at Blaine out of the side of his view. Not wanting full eye contact. "Please tell me you're ok...I've been worried about you since Warbler practice.

"I'll be ok. It's just...my mom's birthday..." Kurt trailed off. "I'll be ok. It's just...it's Friday and-"

"I'll be here for you, promise. Trust. Courage." This made Kurt smile and the two boys embraced. At least he wouldn't have to be alone this year. "Now...how about we go watch Moulin! Rouge...that always seems to make you feel better..." Blaine suggested.

"I'd like that," Kurt responded.

Kurt

Mercedes and Rachel looked particularly somber as they grabbed their drinks with Blaine and Kurt at the Lima Bean.

"Now, I don't want to sound cocky or anything," Blaine said to Rachel and Mercedes as they made their way to sit down. "but you guys better be pulling out all the stops for Regionals because the number we just rehearsed is so off-the-hook, it's dangerous."

They sat down, but neither girl looked really impressed. So Kurt tried to humor them some more, "Seriously, people should wear protective headgear when they're watching it..." This didn't seem to lighten spirits either. "Guys, we're kidding," Kurt stated to the grim looks he was receiving.

"Yeah, well it's just hard to laugh right now with everything going on at McKinley," Rachel said, not really in the mood.

"I mean, look at us. The stars of two rival show choirs sitting down to coffee... our school is so messed up we can't even keep our own football team together." Mercedes agreed.

"It's so sad, you guys," Rachel continued, "Coach Bieste and Mr. Schu were so close at getting everyone at the school together." She explained.

Kurt was shocked that he was just now hearing about this. "Why hasn't Finn told me anything about this?" He asked. "I mean, we live together. I bring him a glass of warm milk every night just in hopes that we'll have a little lady chat." Kurt wasn't always there at home. Mostly because of Dalton's heavy and stressful workload. But when he was, he always attempted to start a conversation with Finn, with warm milk. And every time, it backfired.

"Warm milk, really?" Blaine questioned.

"It's delicious," Kurt confirmed.

"Finn's too proud to complain," Rachel gave, "He feels like he has to be strong for everyone. But I know it's just killing him inside." This made Kurt's heart drop. He hated Rachel for what she did to his brother...but, seeing how hurt and regretful she was...

"I hope he realizes that, you know, if he and I were still together I could make him feel a lot better, you know?"

"Let it go, Rachel," Kurt finally gave. Sick of her pity party that had been happening since she and Finn broke up.

"I just wish that there was a way we could help, that's all." Rachel said.

"Yeah, and the worst part is how bummed the guys are," Mercedes added. "They already suffered enough abuse just being in Glee. I really think winning the game could have eased some of the pressure. At least for a little while."

"Wait, so the whole team quit?" Blaine questioned.

"Everybody not in glee," Mercedes confirmed, "I mean, you can't play football with five guys. And one of them is in a wheelchair."

"Yeah, Coach Bieste put up a sign-up sheet for people to join. I think they'll take anyone at this point," Rachel added.

Blaine

"Well, the good news is you actually only need four more guys," Blaine offered. "High school regulations actually let you play a couple guys short if you want to."

Both girls exchanged looks at this. "If they find a way to make it work, you can bet that we'll definitely be there to cheer 'em on!" Blaine continued. Confirming that he and Kurt would be there.

"Oh, totally," Kurt agreed. "Blaine and I love football. Well, Blaine loves football. I love scarves." Blaine laughed at this. Kurt was so adorable sometimes...

"Well...me and Blaine have to head out. Final song selections for Regionals are being chosen..." Kurt teased.

"Any hints...?" Mercedes asked. Seeing if Kurt would slip up.

"I'll just tell you...there's not gonna be anything like Boys Like Girls, or "any other indie crap"." Kurt imitated Wes, making Blaine laugh more.

"See ya guys!" Blaine said as they walked out.

Kurt

Kurt sighed as he placed his scarf around his neck. Tightly enough so that he could hopefully stay warm in the winter weather. But loose enough so he wouldn't choke to death. Kurt closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In and out, in and out. "Ok," Kurt thought to himself, "Think of this...like a date. Yeah...a date. With a cute boy, that you really like..." Kurt sighed. But was snapped out of his thoughts by a light tap of a knock on his dorm door.

"Hey!" Kurt exhaled happily, seeing Blaine grinning at the other side.

"Hey!" They met in a friendly hug. Kurt holding on a few seconds too long. "We should...probably head there. So we don't miss any of the game."

Kurt looked at the clock on his nightstand. It read 3:30. "Yeah... let's go." And the two boys head to Kurt's Navigator.

Kurt smiled as they met his parents in the McKinley parking lot. He grinned as he saw them. And Blaine smiled, happy to see Kurt so happy.

"Dad!" He inhaled deeply, sort of missing the smell of motor oil and grime from his dad's garage. Even if he did really hate the stains they made on his clothes.

"It's great to see 'ya, kid!" Burt expressed as he let go, "Blaine." Blaine gave a small wave in return. Not wanting to ruin a family moment.

"C'mon boys, let's go find a good seat where we can see!" Carole suggested. And they did. Kurt sitting in between Carole and Blaine. Wanting to be close to the boy and his family at the same time.

"I wonder what stops were pulled for them to play," Blaine wondered. Sort of thinking out loud.

"Me too." Kurt agreed. All of their questions being answered as the girls walked onto the field. "Oooohhhh noooo..." Kurt said. Already sensing disaster.

"Is that...Rachel...?" Carole questioned.

"And Mercedes...?" Blaine continued.

"And Lauren...and Tina..." Kurt confirmed. He couldn't believe his eyes. This was happening. This. Was. Happening.

Blaine

The game was going...less than stellar. For every good pass, there was a player who got sacked. And then...Tina got up from her dropped spot. She grabbed the ball and ran.

"Oh my god! Tina! Run! Run!" Kurt exclaimed along with Carole. Cheering the girl on. Blaine grinned as she ran past several players. And...then...WHAM! She fell to the ground, Mike running close to her side.

"Oh no..." Kurt's breath fogged in front of him. Nerves sparking between all four of them. After a few unheard words, a thumbs up was shown from a coach and relief flowed throughout the crowd. She was ok...and she was gonna be ok.

"Off with your head!
D-dance-dance-dance 'til you're dead!

O-off-off-off with your head!
D-dance-dance-dance 'til you're dead!

O-off-off-off with your head!"

Blaine lightly smiled and giggled as Kurt did little dance movements as the New Directions performed Heads Will Roll / Thriller for their half-time show. He mimicked some of Kurt's movement, getting a light shove.

"Shut up!" Kurt said, with faux anger.

"I didn't say anything..." Blaine gave and they both smiled, both moving together. Laughing and having the time of their lives. Burt slowly looked over at the two teens.

"Let them be..." Carole gave, taking his hand. Smiling as well.

Kurt

"Tonight was amazing..." Kurt smiled as they exited the stands. Kurt caught a quick glance of Karofsky. Eyes transfixed. But not in a good way...

"Kurt?" Blaine waved his hand in front of his face. Knocking him out of his trance. "You ok?" Blaine then saw the boy who brought the other boy into a state of transfixion.

"C'mon...lets head out," Blaine suggested.

"Not yet..." Blaine ran to Finn and gave him a big hug.

"Woah! Hey Kurt!" Kurt just smiled and, to make him happy, hugged him back. "I've missed you, little bro!"

"Finn!" Exclaimed Kurt...but soon his voice softened. "Y'know what...I'll let it pass. But just this one time." Kurt warned playfully, only to hear a gaggle of giggles.

"KURT!" Kurt turned around and was almost knocked over by all of the New Directions girls.

"Oh my god! Girls! Don't suffocate me!" Kurt yelled. They all let go but caught up as quickly as possible so Kurt could leave sooner rather than later.

"I gotta go, but I'll talk to all of you soon!" He waved and walked away.

On the drive back to Dalton, the ride was unusually silent. Even for Kurt and Blaine. Blaine twiddled his thumbs in boredom until he asked a question. "Can I turn the radio on...?"

"Huh? Yeah sure..." Kurt said, just trying to pay attention to the rode. Blaine proceeded to. Changing stations until he found himself upon this...

"Made a wrong turn, once or twice
Dug my way out, blood and fire
Bad decisions, that's alright
Welcome to my silly life..."

Both boys looked at each other at a red light...and just...smiled. This was their confidence song from now on. Cause God knows they needed it...

A/N: So there is my origin of Klaine loving Perfect by P!nk! I hope you liked my version of that! Well...not much else to say. I'm really sorry that I'm bad at these latter Author's Notes! Trying to get better at that! Anyway! See you at Silly Love Songs.
