A/N All I can say is: I am SO sorry! I know it's been FOREVER since I updated! I stalled for a little bit, and right when I was gonna write another chapter, I went and got myself grounded. Smart, huh? I've been ungrounded for a few days, but I have this terrible habit of procrastinating….I'm sorry! But please-enjoy
Blaine
Looking back, he felt silly for crying, he really did. But…how is it possible for one person to have gone through SO much? Kurt had told him all about Karofsky and the other jocks, and how they bullied him mercilessly. He told him the school had tried to help, but really wasn't able to do anything. It reminded Blaine of life before McKinley. He shuddered as the memories of old bullies taunting him filled his mind. He snapped out of the memories, and decided to focus on what was going on around him.
Blaine looked up and realized Mr. Schue was talking. He introduced Rachel and Finn, who proceeded to perform a lengthy ballad that had everyone emotionally unstable afterward. Santana and Brittany performed, and before he knew it, it was time for him to perform his duet from Kurt.
He glanced over at Kurt and smiled. Kurt smiled reassuringly back. He whispered to Blaine, "We got this," right after telling Brad what song.
Blaine heard Rachel squeal, "I love this song!" right before they started to sing, while some of the guys just looked confused, clearly not recognizing the tune.
Blaine started to sing, and soon Kurt joined him.
Kurt
Kurt was enjoying every second of this performance. Something about performing with Blaine felt so...right. Their voices sounded amazing together, and Blaine was just so easy to work with. It was heartening being around someone with a never-faltering positive aura.
Looking around, he saw that the Glee clubbers were really starting to get into it. Brittany and Santana had even started to dance together. Mr. Schue had a huge smile on his face, and a glint of pride in his eyes. Mercedes had a gigantic smile, part enthusiasm, part awe. I think we're doing pretty well, Kurt thought to himself.
He looked at Blaine as they sang the final part of the song, and couldn't help but smile. He really was glad he had made such a great friend.
Blaine
Blaine wasn't expecting the response they got. He was hoping that people would enjoy it, but he definitely wasn't expecting every single person to be so...enthusiastic! He was thrilled. He looked over to Kurt, who was smiling back at him, and was glad he had Kurt to share this experience with. Nothing like the thrill of the stage, he thought. Especially when performing with someone so talented, and amazing, and attractive, and-stop right there! Someone so talented. Blaine mentally scolded himself for letting his thoughts get off track. He looked around and saw Mr. Schuester walking towards him.
"Kurt, Blaine, you both were amazing!" Mr. Schue exclaimed. "That's gonna be tough to follow. Any volunteers?" he asked, looking around. Nobody raised their hand. Mr. Schue chuckled and said, "Why don't the rest of you perform next class?" The students looked relieved.
When everyone had taken their seats, Kurt turned to Blaine and asked, "Do you want to hang out this weekend?"
Blaine nodded eagerly. And so Kurt and Blaine started hanging out more often until they really were best friends. They learned so much more about each other, and helped each other through rough times. And Blaine found himself falling just a bit harder.
