I've wanted to do something with this song ever since I heard it on Glee, but I wasn't sure exactly what. So I decided to take some creative license and interpret the song in my own way. Basically, it's in Kurt's POV and he knows that Blaine likes him and is upset that he's not doing anything about it. (Warning: Might not end up Klaine. Depends on where I end up going with it).

Song: Pretending

Artist: Cory Monteith and Lea Michele (Finn Hudson and Rachel Berry)

Requested by: oh, come on. They were practically begging me to make something out of it!

Anyways…

"Well, I'll see you at school, Kurt," Blaine said after dropping me off at my house. No, before you ask, we aren't dating. But I wished we were. And I had it on good authority (okay, it was Wes and David, so it was somewhat good authority) that he did, too. Yet he'd done nothing about it. And it made me want to hit my head against a wall and scream.

"Yeah, see ya," I replied, keeping my "wanting to hit my head against a wall and scream" emotions in check. Blaine would probably tell my parents to have me committed if I randomly starting yelling and bashing my head against the side of my house. He smiled and turned away back to his car and I went inside.

Upstairs in my room, I let my calm demeanor fall away. Burying my face in my pillow, I screamed. Loudly. And long enough that my throat started to hurt. I screamed until I had nothing left. Until all of my pent-up frustration at Blaine was gone (though it would be back in the morning – I did this a lot).

"Kurt?"

I looked up to see my brother Finn standing in the doorway, looking at me with concern. "Yeah?" I asked calmly, trying to pretend that I hadn't just had a mini break down.

"You okay? I thought I heard yelling." Wow, was I that loud that Finn heard me through a pillow, my closed door, a hallway, and his closed door? "I mean, if you don't want to talk about it, that's cool…" he trailed off, and I knew that he didn't want to talk about it (Finn was a classic boy – emotions were a no-no). But he'd asked and, though I would have preferred Mercedes or one of my other girls, I needed someone to tell.

"It's Blaine," I started.

"What about him?"

"Well, I'm not sure if you know this or not, but I kinda like him," I joked. Everyone I knew (Correction: Almost everyone I knew) could tell that I was head-over-heels in love with Blaine. "And some friends of ours told me that he likes me, too."

"And that's a problem how? Because from what I know of relationships, when two people like each other, they start dating." Whether or not they're both single or not, I added in my head, thinking of how Quinn had cheated on Sam with Finn, whom she'd cheated on with Puck last year.

"The problem is that he's such a – such a… boy," I said, that being the greatest insult I could come up with at the moment. "He doesn't talk about his feelings and romance is practically non-existent in his book." "When I Get You Alone" is not a love song, Blaine, I thought with a smile on my face, thinking back to the disastrous GAP Attack.

"So why don't you, like, tell him first? I mean, I know you're kinda girly," I wasn't going to contest that, "but you're both guys, so that should count for something, right?"

"I already did!" I said, exasperated. "But he's just so goddamn clueless!" I then proceeded to tell him the story of what happened after the GAP Attack and how I'd told Blaine that they guy I thought he'd wanted to ask out on Valentine's Day was me. If that didn't scream "I love you, you adorable moron" then I don't know what would.

"And what did he say?"

"He said – and I quote – "Wow, I really am clueless…Look, Kurt, I don't know what I'm doing. I pretend like I do and I know how to act it out in song, but the truth is… I've never really been anyone's boyfriend…Let me really clear about something. I really, really care about you. But as you and about twenty mortified shoppers saw, I'm not very good at romance. I don't want to screw this up"." Yes, I knew exactly what he said – sue me.

"Well, that's a start, isn't it? I mean he said he cares about you."

"Yeah, so do you and Mercedes and all my other friends," I countered, putting a special emphasis on the last word. "I just want… No, never mind."

"No, tell me."

"Have you ever liked someone so much that all you can think about is them?" He didn't need to say anything – I could see the answer on his face. Rachel. I didn't matter if he was dating Quinn or anyone else, he'd always want Rachel. "I just want to know that he feels the same way about me. That I'm who he can't stop thinking about. Is that too much to ask?"

"No, not at all. You're awesome, Kurt, and any guy who can't see that doesn't deserve you." Wow, where did that come from? Finn never got sentimental.

"Thanks, Finn," I said, though the truth was that I didn't deserve Blaine. He was pretty much perfect and I was… Kurt. "I just…" I repeated. "I mean, if he likes me, too," and I was sure he did, Wes and David's confession notwithstanding, "why can't he just come out and say it? What's he so scared of?" There was no way he couldn't think that I didn't like him, too, seeing as how I told him I did.

Finn shrugged. "I don't know, man. But I will say this… Don't give up. Because, who know? Maybe Blaine Anderson will surprise you." I didn't like the look on his face when he said that – it had a Wes and David "We have a plan" evil glint to it.

"Finn… what are you going to do?"

"Don't worry about it, baby brother. See ya later." And then he was gone.

More confused that I had been before Finn walked in, I grabbed one of my pillows, put it over my face…

And screamed.

Will we ever say the words we're feeling… Reach down underneath and tear down all the walls… Will we ever have a happy ending… Or will we forever only be pretending?

As always, that sounded so much better in my head. Does anyone want to see a one-shot about when Wevid bombards Kurt and tells him that Blaine likes him? Because I kind of have an idea for that and I'll write it up if anyone wants to see it. Or maybe you want to see Finn's master plan? Just let me know! Oh, and don't forget to leave your requests!
