Rachel and Blaine sit in the auditorium, singing Tonight, for Artie, Emma and Beiste. At the end Beiste is crying, and everyone else was looking at her. "Are you gonna cry every time we sing?" Blaine asks her.
"I'm such a girl." Beiste says and wipes her eyes.
"Well my only note is more teeth." Emma says and grins at them.
"Can I be honest? This song is about sexual awakening, as is the entire musical. You two lack passion. Have either of you two actually…?" Artie asks, looking at the two. You could since the awkwardness in the room.
"Wow. Okay. I have to go." Emma says. She gets up and leaves.
"Those footballs ain't gonna inflate themselves." Beiste says and follows Emma.
"Look, I remember my first time with Brittany. The excitement, the way it made me feels like a man. Even though she called me the wrong name like, four times. During and after. What was it like for you guys?" Artie says, ignoring the two adult who left.
"W- Um..." Rachel stutters. She wanted to wait for Kurt or someone else who loved her.
"I'm waiting for the right time and person." Blaine says, also thinking of Kurt.
"Yeah. Yeah, yeah, me too." Rachel says right after Blaine. She leans over to Blaine and whispers, "So glad you're my Tony."
"Look. As your friend, I support your strange aversion to fun. But, as your director, I'm concerned." Artie says to them.
"I'm sorry, what do you mean?" Rachel asks.
"Well, how do you expect to convey the human experience to an audience when you haven't even opened yourself up to one of humanity's most basic and primal ones?" Artie tells them.
Rachel is hanging election poster in the hall the next day, when Finn comes up to her. "Hey Rach." He grins a lopsided smile down at her. "Need help?"
"Um, sure." She says and hands him the posters. "One over there." She points to the wall. Finn walks over and puts it up. "Who are you voting for?"
"Not sure. I mean you're… my one true love and he is my brother." Finn says and smiles at her.
"You still love me?" Rachel says, shocked.
"Of course." Finn grins.
"Oh, what about Quinn?" She asks.
"Um, she was just a phase. You are single and so am I. Let's get back together." Finn says. I hate lying to her, but Quinn says I'll get to home if I humiliate Rachel more. Finn thinks.
Rachel just looks at him. Kurt will never forgive me so I'm never getting him back. I don't want to be alone… Rachel thinks. "Sure." She smiles softly.
Finn grins and kisses her. "Can't do that with my brother, unless you live in Kentucky." Rachel laughs and kisses him again, a little deeper this time. "What's gotten into you? You never did that when he were dating last time."
"Nothing, its' just the confidence of success. I mean, we sold out the April Rhodes Auditorium for three shows, Jacob Ben Israel's polls have me tied in first place for the presidential race, and I have the hottest guy in school. I hope that my radiance isn't too much for you." Rachel says and grins. Kurt would love my new confidence.
"It won't be after Friday night." He says and wraps an arm around her.
"What's Friday night?" Rachel asks and looks up at her.
"That is the day that the recruiter from Ohio State is coming, and they're looking for a new quarterback." Finn explains.
"Really? That's amazing! It's really happening. You know, our dreams are coming true, we're growing up." Rachel exclaims. She always loved when Finn would talk about football, he sounded so passionate, like when Kurt talked about his fashion. I miss Kurt. She thinks.
"I know. And hey, I was thinking, um, Burt and my mom are out canvassing all week, and I have the house to myself. Maybe you could come over." Finn suggests.
"To your house?" Rachel thinks about it. I could lose my virginity in time for opening night. She thinks and smiles at Finn, "I'll be there at six."
Kurt knocks on Blaine's door. He had received a text asking him to come over, and with no Rachel to distract him, Kurt needed company. Also, Finn kicked him out for the night. Blaine let him in and followed him to Blaine's room.
After an hour of just listening to Blaine talking about the play, Rachel and saying how cute Kurt looked today, Blaine was standing and dancing to Roxy and Kurt was sitting on the bed.
"Do you think I'm boring?" Kurt asked. He was thinking of Rachel again and how he always stopped her from moving father in their past make out sessions. Maybe he wasn't straight, no he was. He was just scared since it is his first time.
"Are you crazy? You are the single most interesting kid in all of Ohio." Blaine says and sits down.
"I mean like, sexually. I mean, I playing it very safe by not letting… my partner… well ex-partner, granting their hands visas to travel south of the equator." Kurt says, not wanting Blaine to know he was in the past dating a girl.
"Oh, you were dating someone else?" Blaine asks and sits up straight.
"Um… yeah." Kurt says and looks down.
"Well it's about how you feel about the person and how your morals are." Blaine tells him.
"It is. I'm just wondering have you ever had the urge just to rip off someone's clothes and get dirty." Kurt asks, remembering the day Rachel and he went for Ice Crème. They had an ice crème fight and Rachel took a shower at his house. When she left the bathroom in his shirt and her dance shorts, he just wanted to rip them off her and make love.
"Uh, yeah, but that's why they invented masturbation." Blaine says and laughs. "But in all seriousness, we're young, we're in high school, and yeah, we have urges, but whatever we do, you wanna make sure that you're comfortable. So everyone and it can be comfortable." Blaine continues.
Kurt nods and Blaine goes back to dancing.
"If you see any of Rachel's campaign posters, feel free to tear them down." Kurt says to Blaine as they walk to Kurt's locker. He hated blocking out Rachel, but what she did hurt him. He also heard she went back to Finn, so he was extra angry.
"Do you think we're too sheltered as artists? I'm serious. West Side Story is all about living outside of your safe little world; don't you wanna wake up every day and be adventurous? Experience everything in life you can?" Blaine says as they get to the locker.
"Of course. It's why I made a bucket list. Okay. You ready for this?" Kurt says, smiling and getting out a paper. Rachel and him made these soon after they became friends. Blaine nods. "Alright, here we go. Number eighty-seven. Become CEO of Logo."
"Of course." Blaine says and laughs.
"Number sixty-three. Oh, lay a rose at the birthplace of Noel Coward. Number five, Oh wait, never mind…" Kurt says and puts the paper away.
"No what is it?" Blaine says, getting the paper. "Number five. Kiss Rachel Berry?" Blaine looks at Kurt for an explanation.
"She has nice lips. That is it." Kurt lies.
The night before the opening night of West Side Story, Rachel was at Finn's. She is going to let him sleep with her. They both know they are going to do this, but for different reasons. Rachel to be a better Maria and Finn to humiliate Rachel.
"I brought protection." Finn says. They were sitting in Finn's living room. He had set up some blankets in front of the fire.
"I did too. Every Broadway girl comes prepared." Rachel says and smiles.
"Wait, wait, before we do this, I need to know, why now? The last time we talked about this, you said you wanted to wait until you won a Tony." Finn says, trying to play the role of supportive boyfriend.
"Or any other major award. I mean, a Golden Globe, a People's Choice would have gotten you to third base, but… I don't know what changed, I mean even the thought of going to New York a virgin felt silly to me, but when and who's gonna feel more right than you and now? And I love you." Rachel says and smiles.
"I just wanna make sure this is special enough for you. I can save up for a hotel for us. Some place nice, like a Marriott or something. If we wait a couple of weeks, I can probably-"Finn starts to say.
"No, I want to do this tonight. I love you and I want to help with your needs." Rachel says and kisses him.
That same night, Kurt and Blaine had gone to the local gay bar, Scandals.
"This is the best night of my life." Blaine says and goes to the car, he was a little tipsy. "It's the best night of my life! I wanna live here. I wanna live here, and I just wanna make art and help people."
"You can certainly help people make fires with your breath." Kurt jokes.
"Hey, c'mon, I only had one beer. Kiss me." Blaine says and pulls Kurt to him and kisses him. Kurt kisses back.
Blaine opens the back seat door and starts to get in and pull Kurt in. "Whoa - whoa - whoa - wait! Alright, oh, oh, oh, alright. Blaine, alright." Kurt pulls away.
"Hey, Kurt, let's just do it. I want you." Blaine says and tries to pull Kurt back.
"No. My first time is not going to be in the back of my car." Kurt says.
"I know you wanted to do it in a field of lilacs with Sting playing in the background and all that, who cares where we are?" Blaine says.
"I do." Kurt says and thinks I also wanted it to be with Rachel.
"It's all about us, right?" Blaine says.
"Yes, but I don't want to do it with you while your drunk." Kurt says.
"I'm not that drunk." Blaine says and looks into Kurt's eyes. "Let's go to my house if not the back seat." Blaine suggests.
Kurt thinks about it and how he heard that Rachel was going over to Finn's tonight. "Okay." Kurt finally says and gets into the driver's side.
