A/N: Hello everybody. I think you guys enjoyed the last chapter which is great! The general consensus has been to definitely include more Burt and Carole, with a little bit of Finn and the New Directions. Lucky for everybody, Burt is definitely going to appear more in the storyline as Klaine's relationship changes, and Carole with often be seen with him. Finn and some assorted New Directions members are going to feature more heavily in the story too. So, that being said, there are going to be some new POV's, so pay attention. They will probably be shorter than the others, but still present. Just wanted to clarify, Furt did happen, but the basement incident never did (I just don't like that bit, to be honest). This is roughly set in Season 3, as it is Kurt's senior year, but I am using lots of things from season 4, such as the Washington panel for Schue. So without going into too much detail, the first season is canon, the second has events that have been changed, and this IS season 3, so these events replace those from the TV show. Also, I just remembered that Mercedes and Rachel had a sleepover with Kurt when he was having problems with Blaine (when they were just friends), so I might mirror that at some point in this, just adjust the situation. IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't want anybody to panic, so I'm going to tell you a tiny spoiler so you don't get confused. 2 people see the Klaine kiss, resulting in 4 people (including those 2 people, but not including Klaine) knowing about the relationship/kiss. I'll repeat, 2 people see it, and they tell 1 person each, resulting in 4 people knowing. Read and Review and Enjoy! Also… This is going to be a two-part chapter, like, if it were a book it would just be a really long chapter, but this is going to take two updates. Disclaimer, I do not own glee, nor did I ever claim to.
Kurt's POV
Kurt just stood there, completely shocked. His bag had dropped to the floor. What just happened? Did Blaine…. Kiss him? He raised his hand to his lips, yeah, Blaine definitely kissed him. Part of him was elated, he finally kissed him! But the other par remembered that Blaine ran off afterwards. Was he just scared that he did that? Or was it a mistake? 'No,' Kurt shook that thought out of his head, 'Teachers don't kiss students by mistake, he's just scared.'
He really didn't know what he was thinking, but he picked his bag up off the ground and went into the bathroom to fix his hair. After he was content with its appearance, he splashed some water on his face, to calm down. He left the bathroom to go walk to his car, he was extremely grateful he was alone, he was not in the mood for a lecture from Santana. His hands were still trembling, which surprised him because he wasn't scared, was he?
"Scared of what he's going to say," he muttered quietly as he drove out of the McKinley parking lot,
He drove the familiar route, hoping his memory of where Blaine lived was correct. A while later, he pulled up in front of the apartment block. He took in the outside of the building while he tried to work up the courage to exit the car. It was, cute. He decided. Not an overly modern apartment block, but it was nice. Red brick, a few stories high, down a nice quiet street. He probably had some nice neighbours too…
"You are so procrastinating." He scolded himself, "Just get out of the car, march in there and talk to him. Or sing," he added as an afterthought,
God, he was turning into Rachel Berry.
Shaking that thought away, he jumped out of his car and made his way into the apartment block. He made towards the elevators but stopped when he saw an 'Out of Order' sign on them, he briefly wondered how long they had been like that as he turned towards the stairs.
He raised his hand to knock on the door, before lowering it again,
'What if he's not home? Or if he doesn't want to see me? No, just do it, what's the worst that could happen?'
He had told himself to stop asking that question, but ignored that and raised his hand to knock on the door loudly,
"Coming!" a muffled voice sounded from inside,
The door swung open, "Hell… Kurt. Are you ok? Something wrong?" He greeted, his eyes were puffy as if he'd been crying a bit and he was obviously concerned as he remembered the last time Kurt was here,
Kurt didn't even respond, marching into the apartment and pushing Blaine up against the wall, kissing him fiercely, he wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist and Blaine put his arms around Kurt's neck. He deepened the kiss slightly then pulled away. He walked into the living room and gestured for Blaine to sit down on the couch, which he did. He pulled out a portable speaker from his jacket pocket, (who doesn't carry one on them at all times?) and pressed play on his phone, and started singing, (A/N: Hate this Song-Second Hand Serenade, worth listening to)
'Speak with your tongue tied, I know that you're tired
But I just want to know, where you want to go
I may be sad, but I'm not weak, this situation is bleak
And your puffy eyes never lie, your tears come from inside'
He locked eyes with Blaine, who was transfixed, this was the message Kurt wanted to get across. He could have waited to perform it in glee club, but it might have seemed weird to the others in the New Directions. Now was as good a time as any.
'Until Sunday I'll be waiting for an answer
I guess that yesterday's not good enough for you
You know that I hate this song, you know that I hate this song
Because it was written for you'
Kurt closed his eyes at the last line, this song did resonate with him, he did kind of hate the song because it made him think of Blaine. When he opened them again, he saw Blaine nod at him, 'He knows,' he thought, 'He understands what I'm trying to say,'
'Drown your fears with me, I'm feeling real sorry
Your glossy eyes don't need; the sadness they have seen
But you're way too deep to swim, Back up again
But somehow I can't find, the moment you said goodbye'
He feels tears stinging in his eyes, but he continues singing, whatever Blaine's answer is, he will have done his part.
'This is becoming a problem I'm hurting it's unfair
But somehow your words, the way that I heard are haunting me
You're under my skin, you're breaking in
And the tasteless fights that filled our nights, are starting to cave in
You're under my skin, you're breaking in
And if Sundays what it takes to prove, I have nothing else to lose'
He watched Blaine as he said that, watching his reaction,
'Until Sunday I'll be waiting for an answer
I guess that yesterday's not good enough for you
You know that I hate this song
You know that I hate this song
Because it was written for you'
He stopped singing and Blaine stared at him blankly, so he addressed him directly,
"Blaine, you have until Sunday to stop being a Katy Perry Song and get your shit together." He said bluntly, then walked out of the apartment,
He exhaled a deep breath he didn't know he had been holding and prayed to Gaga he had done the right thing. He couldn't wait around forever, right?
Sebastian's POV
Blaine rushed out of the room, calling for Kurt to wait. Naturally, Sebastian followed straight after. Like, did you expect him to give them privacy? No way. He followed Blaine until he hit a corner which he could hide around. He watched the argument, Blaine seemed eternally confused, and Kurt just looked like it was the last place he wanted to be. Was this all because of that comment? Seriously, Sebastian was wayyy over that by now. 'Ooooh,' he thought, as Blaine took a couple of steps a couple of steps forward, and asked Kurt 'Oh, the one with the chestnut-hair?', Kurt just looked away frustrated as he answered, 'Is he that oblivious that he doesn't know it's him?' Sebastian wonders, he pulls out his phone to text Tana when Blaine pushed Kurt up against the locker, naturally, Sebastian made sure the flash and shutter sound was off, and he snapped a photo. Santana would never believe him otherwise. Just as Kurt returned the kiss, Sebastian punched the air, Blaine pulled back. 'Oh shit! He's coming back!' Sebastian swore, and ran back down the hallway the same way he came, missing the rest of the altercation.
He made it back into the classroom panting, and seconds later Blaine walked in, he looked at Sebastian weirdly and ran to get his bag,
"Make your own way home Seb, I've gotta do things, so yeah, bye." He stuttered awkwardly and sprinted back out of the room,
Sebastian sat in shock for a minute, before pulling out his phone and pressing 5 on his speed dial. Yes, yes, laugh all you want, they were really good friends now what do you expect!
"Lopez." A sassy voice answered,
"Meet me in the," he looked around, "Maths classroom on the lower floor, now."
"Got it," Santana replied before hanging up,
'We are so in sync.' Sebastian smirked, 'I didn't even need to say why she just agreed.',
The most unlikely, yet also the perfect pair.
Santana walked in 20 minutes later,
"Hey, sorry 'bout this, I didn't want to talk about this at the Lima Bean." he apologised,
"That's alright, what happened?" she quizzed,
Sebastian just pulled out his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to her,
"Holy shit! About time, how much do you owe me?"
"$20," Sebastian grumbled,
Santana just laughed, "Wow, but why'd you want to talk?"
Sebastian sighed, and fidgeted with his shirt, a nervous habit he had picked up as a child,
"Blaine kissed Kurt, who returned it after he got over the shock," Santana nodded, "Then Blaine ran away…"
"Oh," Santana muttered angrily, "Well, knowing Kurt, he followed Blaine home to sing to him about it."
Sebastian scoffed, "What is it with Glee kids?"
Santana just glared and changed the topic, "Why did Blaine run? I'm so going to kill him if he's changed his mind,"
"Look, he just kissed a student, in the middle of a hallway IN SCHOOL, he just freaked out. He'll get over it, I swear." Sebastian replied in defence of Blaine,
"Okay, I'll go home to do damage control with Kurt, and you leave Blaine alone for tonight to clear his thoughts. Got it?"
"Yep," he agreed, as they made to leave the room,
"Oh," Santana turned back to face him before they parted ways, "Did anyone else see?"
"Nah, I was the only one in the hallway." Sebastian confirmed, Santana nodded and turned on her heel, 'If anybody could turn me straight…' Sebastian thought,
Little did they know, that a certain McKinley Football team had a practice that day, and someone else had seen that kiss.
Finn's POV
Finn was going to the boy's locker room via his locker, to get some homework he had forgotten, just as he was about to turn the corner, he heard two people arguing, so he stopped where he was. He realised that he recognised both of the voices, it was Kurt, arguing with Mr A. Finn peered around the corner, ready to defend his baby bro, but the situation looked under control, and it's not like a teacher and student were going to throw punches or anything, so he held back.
When he looked back on the situation, he wouldn't know why he stayed to eavesdrop, it was none of his business. But Kurt did look slightly frustrated and then, Mr A did something that seemingly took both Finn and Kurt by surprise, he kissed Kurt. Finn stood in shock and made to rush forward to pull Blaine off of his baby bro when Kurt threw his arms around Blaine. Finn was now extremely confused. 'Kurt's kissing him back?' he thought, confused,
Then, Blaine seemed to realise what he was doing and pulled back, stuttering some excuse before running off. Kurt just stood there, stock still, seemingly disoriented after the kiss. Finn just watched as Kurt raised his fingers to his lips, and made his way to the carpark.
Naturally, Finn decided to follow Kurt, to see where he was going. He didn't want him doing something stupid while he was still in shock. He followed a couple of cars behind so that Kurt didn't see him until Kurt pulled up opposite a brick apartment building. "This better not be where that teacher lives," Finn muttered, concerned for his little bro.
He followed Kurt into the apartment building, and up the stairs, at a distance. Kurt walked all the way to the top, and Finn decided to hide in a small space next to the stairs so that neither Kurt or the person he was seeing would see him. He waited, and waited, and about 5 or 10 minutes later, Kurt came out of an apartment, number 14, Finn noted, and walked back down the stairs, not seeing Finn.
Finn walked out of his little nook and went towards the apartment, hoping it was Blaine and that he wasn't just going to walk up to some stranger's door. He knocked firmly three times and waited for the owner to open the door.
"Hel… Finn. Hi. How do you know where I live?" A dishevelled looking Blaine greeted,
"Let's talk," Finn replied in a low, menacing voice, avoiding the question,
Blaine just nodded and let Finn into the apartment. Finn looked around, it was a pretty decent place, but he wasn't here for a grand tour. He needed answers,
"Give me one good reason, that I shouldn't beat the shit out of you." He demanded, glaring at Blaine, looking for the nearest chair to kick out of frustration,
"I'm… sorry?" Blaine spluttered,
Finn just walked straight up to Blaine trapping him in a corner,
"Don't play dumb with me hair-gel," he threatened, "You and Kurt. Give me one good reason, that I shouldn't beat the crap out of you."
Blaine looked down and ran his hands over his face, anxiety? Nerves? Guilt? Finn couldn't decide, but he took a step back, giving Blaine some room so the guy wouldn't pass out,
"Take a seat?" Blaine offered with what Finn guessed was supposed to be a smile, but came out as an awkward grimace,
"Look, dude, you have 5 minutes to give me a good explanation or I'm calling the police and the school board." Finn compromised, deadly serious,
Blaine's head snapped up and his eyes widened when he realised Finn wasn't joking,
"Look, Finn, you saw us kiss, right?"
Finn nodded,
"I swear I wasn't forcing him or anything, he kissed me back! Before I started freaking out and ran away. Look," he looked Finn right in the eye, to show he wasn't messing around, "I really care about Kurt. Like really, really care about him. I swear I don't want to hurt him, just take him out on a date and see what happens."
"Why should I, or Kurt, trust you? You're eight years older than us, and our teacher. Little creepy dude." Finn said pointedly,
"Kurt already trusts me. He must have followed me home because about five minutes after I got here, he came in and…" he paused,
"And…?" Finn prompted when he failed to continue,
"He kissed me, alright?! Then he sang a song to me, Second Hand Serenade, Hate this Song."
Finn thought for a moment, "Oh," he said when he realised the song, "Until Sunday, I'll be waiting, for an answer…" he sang quickly, "Right?"
"Yeah, that's the one." Blaine said with a dreamy look on his face, "He told me I had until Sunday to, and I quote, 'Stop being a Katy Perry song, and get my shit together.'"
Finn smirked proudly, that was his baby brother,
"Finn, I swear on my life, on my parent's lives, my brother's life! That I have no intention of hurting Kurt, that's why I need to think about this, until Sunday. I want to choose the route that will leave the least amount of people hurt."
Finn nodded, contemplating his next move,
"Just, let Kurt talk to you, okay? And if he says I did something wrong, feel free to come over here, beat the crap out of me, and call the police and notify the school board. But from what I heard, Kurt feels the same way."
Finn nodded again, still extremely confused by the situation, but satisfied that his little bro wasn't in immediate danger. He would let Kurt talk to him, and then decide what he should do.
"Okay dude, I believe you," Blaine sighed in relief, "For now!" Finn rushed to add, "And I swear to god, if you ever hurt Kurt, you will be begging for me to kill you and get it over with. But I won't, I will make sure you pay for hurting my brother."
Blaine gulped, and Finn gave him a goofy smile as he stood up from the table,
"Later dude!" he said, patting Blaine a tad harder than necessary on the shoulder. He walked out of the apartment, content that his job as big brother had been done well. Now he just had to wait for Kurt to talk to him.
Blaine's POV
"What the fuck just happened?" Blaine said to himself after the door had closed behind Finn,
He let out a short scream of frustration and banged his head on the table several times, "What. The. Fuck. Is. Wrong. With. Me?" he growled,
Just then a knock is heard on the door, and Blaine lets out a hysterical laugh, yes ladies and gentleman, he has officially gone mad.
"Who could that be? Another person wanting to mess up my day?" he whispers to himself sarcastically, he's definitely lost it,
He swings open the door to find Sebastian, standing there, obviously waiting to be let in. Blaine just sighs, and steps aside, 'Well he's here now' he thought,
"Chinese Food. You. Me. Talk." Sebastian demanded,
What is wrong with this guy? Blaine shook his head at his best friend and went to order Chinese. It was kind of nice having the company, though Blaine wouldn't ever admit that. It was even nicer to be sharing that little tradition, of Chinese food from the place down the road.
Thirty minutes later, they were sat at the table eating their dinner silently, Sebastian was just staring at him, but when Blaine just stared back, confused, Sebastian spoke up, "Look, Blainers, you said you wouldn't hide anything from me, not about this, so I'm waiting for you to do the right thing, and tell me what happened with Kurt."
Blaine looked down at his food then back up at Sebastian suspiciously, "Why would I tell you?" he asked, "When I have a feeling you already know…"
Sebastian looks at him in (mock) offence, "How dare thee imply I'm guilty?!"
"Oh drop the act, Sebastian, you saw me and Kurt kiss didn't you?" Blaine demanded,
"Oh, well, maybe." He admits with a cheeky grin, "But I wanted you to tell me! You weren't planning on keeping this from me, were you? Because I have connections, I would have found out eventually."
Blaine just stared back at him, "I was going to tell you, I just needed time to think. And what are these connections I keep hearing about? You know, the ones that lead you to know everything before you should?"
"That's for me to know, and you, to stick your nose out of."
Blaine scoffs, "Sometimes I feel like you're a secret agent that's been assigned to me for God knows what reason…"
Sebastian just looks at him mysteriously, "How do you know I'm not?" he asks in a serious tone,
They stared at each other, managing to keep straight faces for about 3 seconds before they burst into laughter. Maybe things weren't as bad as he thought.
Blaine had a lot to think about, and only five days to do it in. His work was cut out for him. Sebastian stayed late that night, trying to reason with him, and they made a pro's and con's list. But in love, did the con's ever outweigh the pro's?
A/N: Okey Dokey, that's the first part of this chapter done. Hope you guys liked it, personally, I was quite happy with Finn's part, and he will continue to play a bigger part in this story. I was just wondering, do you guys want me to put the songs I'm using at the start or the end of the chapter? I'm fine with both because I know that sometimes they can be spoilers, but sometimes it's nice to listen along. I will update the second part of this chapter within the next 24-48 hours so stay tuned, until next time! xx
Song:
Hate this Song-Second Hand Serenade (Really recommend.)
Also, I would love to know some of your favourite ships (canon and not) from glee, as I am currently planning to write a story to Taylor Swifts 'I'd Lie' but can't make up my mind which characters to use. I don't think Finchel would work, so anyone apart from that would be good. Thanks and bye!
