So I'm a little unsure of what to do for the fan fiction. I have a few ideas, but I do not know if I rather write one long story and squeeze things in, or write a sequel or possible trilogy to Kurt and Blaine's journal, but with a bit more detail. Thoughts? They mean the world to me!
The song is called "Courage Is" by The Strange Familiar if anyone is curious!
Chapter 6
The days felt like weeks as Kurt Hummel was excited for Friday to roll around. Not only would Blaine be out of hospital but Kurt would be singing not only to him but also for him. He kept catching himself daydream off in class, but Mercedes kept kicking him back to reality.
When Friday finally rolled around, Kurt was becoming very nervous. What if Blaine didn't show up? What if for some reason he has to go back to the hospital tomorrow? So many scenarios were running through his head, which it wasn't until the final bell rang that he focused again. He was going to sing to Blaine in Glee club and he was not about to back down.
Kurt finished the final preparation in the boys' bathroom. He wore a new pair of black skinny jeans he had just bought, with his favourite pair of black boots he always wears. For a shirt, he decided to go with a plum color button up shirt, where the sleeves were three quarters in length and the top button was undone. He also decided he wanted to wear a black beret with his outfit.
As Kurt began walking back to class, he noticed a small figure standing in the entrance of the classroom, where glee practice is held. Kurt smiled when he saw Blaine talking to Mr. Schuster and took time to see what Blaine was wearing. He surprisingly was dressed in boot cut style jeans and was wearing a nice pair of slip on shoes. However, Kurt frowned when he saw that he was wearing a Dalton hoodie. Kurt would personally never be caught dead in a pullover sweatshirt, but then again, Blaine had been shot and was probably still sore.
"Hey, how are you feeling?" Kurt asked Blaine as he approached his teacher and Blaine. His face soften when he saw that Blaine looked better than he had stuck in the hospital.
"Oh you know, I'm sore but I wouldn't miss this for the world," Blaine told him with a smile. Kurt mirrored the image as Mr. Schuster shook Blaine's hand and entered the room with Kurt following him.
All of the talk stopped talking as everyone paused to see Kurt entering the room with a stranger. Kurt could sense that Blaine was awkward so he pointed to the empty seat next to Mike Chang and Blaine walked over and sat down next to him. Blaine forced a smile and Mike gave him a little nod.
"Mr. Schue, would I be able to start?" Kurt asked him, batting his eyes slightly more than usual. Rachel was getting ready to protest, but Mr. Schuster came to the rescue.
"Since you brought in your role model, I don't see why not," he reassured him. Rachel sunk back in her seat and crossed her arms and Kurt noticed Blaine was frowning and whispered something to Mike.
"So, as all of you know, I was at Rachel's Friday night. I decided to leave early and walked home. On the way home, I ran in to some homophobic bullies," Kurt started. He looked around the room, noticing that for once, he had all of the club's attention, even Brittany's. "They were there to beat me up and even had a gun out there. I thought it would be the end of me, but someone came to my rescue." Kurt looked up at Blaine and gave him a warm smile. Kurt could tell that Blaine's cheeks were slightly red and Kurt found it cute. "But Blaine Anderson was my hero that night and literally took a bullet for me. That is why Blaine inspires me, because he had the courage to risk his life to help a complete stranger. I owe him my life for that." After Kurt stopped speaking, Puck stood up and started clapping. Kurt looked at him awkwardly, but then Finn joined in and soon the whole Glee club was on their feet, clapping for Blaine.
"Kurt, I appreciate this all, but I am not a hero. I'm just a nice guy trying to help out someone in need," Blaine said, attempting to defend himself. Everyone decided to sit back in their seats and Kurt was about to reply, but someone else decided to instead.
"Dude, you save my boy's life" Puck cut in. "and not your everyday person would have risked themselves like that." Blaine gave a gracious smile as he focused back on Kurt.
"For my song, I decided to go a little out of my comfort zone. Instead of going the Broadway route, I decided to choose a song that I thought applied better to this situation," Kurt explained. He nodded at Brad as he began to play the piano.
Take all my vicious words
And turn them into something goodTake all my preconceptions
And let the truth be understoodTake all my prized possessions
Leave only what I needTake all my pieces of doubt
And let me be what's underneath
Kurt took in a deep breath as he began to get caught up in the song and decided to finally look up at Blaine. He wanted these words to sink in to Blaine to show that he respects him for everything he has done for him.
Courage is when you're afraid,
But you keep on moving anyway
Courage is when you're in pain,
But you keep on living anyway
Kurt finally took his eyes off of Blaine and began to walk around the room, weaving in and out through the chairs.
We all have excuses why
Living in fear something in us dies
Like a bird with broken wings
It's not how high he flies,
But the song he sings
Kurt made his was over towards Blaine and held his hand out for Blaine to grab on to. He accepted it as Kurt smile and kept singing.
Courage is when you've lost your way,
But you find your strength anywayCourage is when you're afraid
Courage is when it all seems grey
Courage is when you make a change,
And you keep on living anywayYou keep on moving anyway
You keep on giving anyway
You keep on loving anyway
After the last note was hit, the Glee club erupted in cheer. Mr. Schue gave him a pat on the back and complimented him, but none of this sank in to Kurt. All that mattered was that he and Blaine were holding hands and had their eyes locked on each other. Kurt could even swear that Blaine was trying to hold back tears, but none of this matter at this moment.
All that mattered was that Kurt Hummel was developing strong feelings for Blaine Anderson.
