Hey! Happy Thanksgiving! Just got back from the beach! Who else LOVED the new Glee? The Warblers were beyond amazing and the cheating scene made my heart break :( Anyway, new chapter! Hope to get the next one up soon.
WARNING: cheesy ending
Kurt's POV
Today was the day.
Show choir bonding.
Meeting at Breadsticks, all the show choirs were to arrive at 11.
Being the New Directions, they of course had to be late.
"Does anyone have something else for Berry to wear?" Santana complained as Rachel walked into the choir room dressed in usual apparel.
"At least I don't look like a stripper," Rachel remarked as she walked over to Finn and frantically began fixing his messed up hair.
Rachel was right.
Santana did look like a stripper…
Dressed in a short black dress that showed off her toned legs, Santana didn't exactly send a great message to what McKinley supported.
Everyone else, other than Brittney, was dressed respectfully.
Thank Gaga.
Kurt almost wished Rachel wasn't though.
He'd rather see her in Santana's showy outfit than what she was wearing.
Going with more of a "straight" look, Kurt thought he looked the best.
He was dressed in semi tight dark blue jeans, a figure flattering (and Kurt approved) flannel button up shirt and black converse.
With his hair put in a purposely messy hair style, Kurt felt weirdly confident.
Of course all his efforts went unnoticed by the glee club.
"Now, everyone calm down! I have an announcement," Mr. Schue yelled over all their voices.
Rachel shushed everyone eagerly.
"I've made a mistake with the duets."
Kurt looked up from his phone where he was texting Blaine who was desperately in need of a rescue.
Being stuck on a bus for 2 hours with Wes and David was just asking for a major headache.
"I feel horrible. I forgot to include one of our most important members on our duet list."
Kurt was surprised and thankful.
He knew Mr. Schue would remember.
"Sam."
Kurt's heart dropped.
He along with the rest of the glee club turned towards Sam.
"He was getting his tonsils taken out, and I completely forgot about him. I'm so sorry Sam. You'll be in a group of three. Anyone want to take Sam into their group?"
Rachel's hand shot up.
Probably needs someone to help her with Santana.
"Perfect!"
Kurt fell back into his seat, depressed.
He really was invisible.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
A smile broke out on his face when he saw Blaine's name on his caller id.
He looked around cautiously to make sure no one would listen in.
Not one of the glee clubbers had heard his phone ring and were each involved in their own conversations.
Kurt picked up his phone.
"Hello?"
"AHHHHHH!" came a loud scream.
The scream was even louder because Kurt's phone was on speaker.
Yesterday, Kurt had been talking to Blaine while he was organizing his closet and had put him on speaker.
He didn't have time to change it back.
Everyone looked curiously back at Kurt.
Kurt quickly switched his phone off of speaker.
"Blaine?" he asked.
"Help me!" a desperate voice pleaded.
The pounding of a door could be heard in the background.
"Wes? Why do you have Blaine's phone?"
"I'm here too!" a voice cut in.
"David? Where are you and what are you doing?"
"Hiding in the bathroom on the bus."
"Why?" Kurt said laughing.
"We stole Blaine's phone and began sending flirty texts to this clueless girl who thinks Blaine is into her. Blaine got really angry so now we're hiding in here. It's gross."
"Let me in!" he heard Blaine's muffled voice yell.
"Occupied!" David said in response with a high pitched, girly voice.
"We need your help!" Wes begged.
"How can I possibly help you? I'm not even there."
"Here I'll put you on speaker."
Kurt heard a click.
"Yes Kurt! I know he's being over dramatic!" Wes said dramatically into the phone over Blaine's yells and knocking.
The knocking stopped abruptly.
"Kurt?" Blaine asked skeptically.
Kurt let out a musical laugh.
"These dimwits have me on speaker," Kurt explained.
"We're not dimwits!" Wes argued.
"Yeah!" agreed David.
"Help me, Kurt!" Blaine whined.
Kurt was about to say something when Mr. Schue called all of them.
"Gotta go! Sorry Blaine! See you guys there!"
Blaine's cries of "don't leave" were cut off as Kurt reluctantly shut his phone.
Kurt smiled.
Not even Mr. Schue's clueless nature could compete with the antics of Wes and David.
"Let's get in the bus!" said anxiously. "We're going to be late!"
Everyone quickly grabbed their bags and hurried towards the door.
Unfortunately, class was just getting out and the halls were packed.
All the boys were staring at Santana in her dress.
Santana winked.
Kurt just didn't get her.
She had come out to glee club saying she was lesbian, but she still led straight guys on.
SLAM!
A sharp pain stung Kurt's shoulder.
Kurt looked up to see the jeering face of Dave.
"Out of my way, homo," he said.
Kurt looked around.
No one had noticed.
Not even his "friends" who were almost to the school door.
Karofsky pushed him back into the lockers, and Kurt slid down.
He leaned down to Kurt's ear.
"By the way, I'm liking the new look," he whispered.
Dave smirked at the terrified look on Kurt's face.
"Later, lady."
Kurt walked to the bus shaking.
Trying to calm himself down, Kurt thought of Blaine.
He thought of Blaine's eyes and how they sparkled when Kurt made him laugh.
He thought of Blaine's beautiful voice that he just couldn't get enough of.
He thought about the goofy side of Blaine that he was lucky enough to see a little bit of.
He thought about the way Blaine made him feel.
Like he was special.
Like he was wanted.
Like he was worth something.
"Oh hell to the na!" Mercedes voice said, breaking through his happy thoughts.
"Yes!" Rachel insisted, looking to Finn for support.
"Ummm…" Finn looked confused.
Kurt had no clue what was going on but couldn't care less.
He dazedly shoved everyone out of the way and made his way to the back of the bus.
Sitting down, Kurt shoved his ear buds in and ignored everything around him.
"We're here!" yelled a voice making Kurt lift his head.
Countless buses were already parked outside.
Kurt looked at the time.
They were about 30 minutes late.
Perfect.
They were the school closest to the restaurant and probably the last to arrive.
"Remember," Mr. Schue said. "This about bonding. Meet new people from other choirs. We don't have to stick together the whole time."
"But they could be spies!" Rachel started. "They could pretend to be our friends and then pull a Jesse…"
"Hold up, hobbit." Santana butted in. "I would do the same thing if I were Jesse."
Rachel made a face.
"I mean, dating you would be so horrible, it's practically torture. Only somebody stupid would seriously date you. No offense Frankenteen. Now, I wanna get my mack on with all the hot boys in this place."
"Santana? I thought you were gay. And dating Brittany." Artie said the last part unhappily.
"We don't limit ourselves. We're spreading the love," Brittany explained.
"That's right, sweetie." Santana pecked her girlfriend on the cheek.
"Well, you two can do that, but I'm sticking with the team," Rachel stated.
"Me too," Finn immediately agreed.
Rachel smiled at him.
"Okay! Let's get a move on! We're already late!" said grabbing 's hand.
They all made their way to the door.
Kurt could see masses of people in the window.
Were any of them like Karofsky?
Kurt had started to think this way after the kiss.
He was skeptical of everyone and everything.
Blaine. Just think of Blaine.
Mr. Schue walked in first with .
Then Rachel, who was whispering excitingly to Finn, walked in next.
Sam escorted Quinn, and Puck walked in alone.
Tina and Mike followed behind with Artie.
Brittany and Santana, who had locked their pinkies together, walked in next.
Kurt was last.
He looked around in surprise.
The whole restaurant had been remodeled for the afternoon.
Banners with each school logo covered the walls.
Huge tables were set out before the stage.
Waiters were waiting on both sides of the restaurants.
The room of talking students quieted as they took in the bizarre sight of the New Directions.
Most of the guys were eyeing Santana and Brittany.
The members of Vocal Adrenaline were eyeing Rachel.
Some girls were staring at Kurt, but he took no notice since he was looking for the Warbler's table.
Finally finding it, Kurt frantically looked for Blaine.
Kurt let out a sigh as his eyes meet the shocked eyes of Blaine.
He offered Blaine a shy smile which Blaine returned with shock still on his face.
Looking for Wes and David, Kurt didn't notice that even though the stares continued, the conversations in the room had started up again.
"KURT!"
Kurt was suddenly bombarded with the two bodies of Wes and David.
Everyone's eyes found Kurt, but Kurt, again, took no notice.
"Hey," he said as he hugged them back.
"I can't believe you hung up on us!" Wes shouted. "We needed you!"
"He does realize he's in public. Right?" Kurt whispered to David as Wes ranted on.
David just laughed and eyed Wes fondly.
Kurt felt a hand on his shoulder.
He hissed in pain.
"Kurt. What happened?" came a soft voice.
Kurt didn't even turn around.
He just launched himself into the person's arms as he felt his walls crumble.
Arms wrapped securely around his waist and pulled him closer.
A hand found his hair, but Kurt couldn't bring himself to tell the hand to stop messing up his hair.
"Blaine," Kurt whispered as he absorbed the intoxicating scent of Blaine.
"What happened?" Blaine repeated in his hear.
"Later…" Kurt mumbled as Blaine pulled away.
Kurt looked nervously around the room.
A lot of people were looking at Wes and David curiously.
They were having a shouting match about something.
Kurt heard the words "klaine" and "blurt".
He looked to the New Directions.
Rachel's mouth was agape.
Finn looked angry as well as everyone else.
Blaine took his hand.
"Hey. It's going to be okay. You're with me."
Kurt smiled down at their hands.
"I know."
