3rd Person Point of View
The next school day came and went. Kurt and Henry getting looks wherever they went, freshman girls cooing at their cuteness, jocks flinging insults, but finally when it was time for glee, nothing seemed to matter. Thanks to Kurt and Henry, the Madonna assignment was taking on full force. Mercedes and Kurt gave Coach Sylvester a new look (albeit just a huge point bra) and the boys seemed to take the "Express Yourself" number seriously. As the glee clubbers sat in wait, Mr. Shue bounded in the room, handing out music sheets.
"Alright everyone, so I have this Madonna song for us to work on today. "Like a Virgin" was one of Madonna's most infamous songs, so I decided to split up the song into several duets. This will be a couple's song!" Mr. Shue announced.
Sweet! Me and Henry have a duet then! Kurt thought as he began to look at his sheet music. Wait…what the hell? We're not even in here! Just back-up! But he knows we're a couple! He was here when Henry sang to me!
What the fuck? Henry inwardly seethed. Kurt and I don't have a duet. It's Rachel and Jesse, Quinn and Puck, Artie and Tina, Brittany and Mike, Finn and Santana…oh only the straight couples…I see.
As the song began everyone looked so pleased, save Kurt, who looked like he was on the verge of tears, and Henry, who looked like he was going to punch someone's face in.
Jesse and Rachel:
I made it through the wilderness
Somehow I made it through
I didn't know how lost I was
Until I found youArtie and Tina:
I was beat incomplete
I'd been had, I was sad and blue
But you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
Shiny and newAll :
Like a virgin
Touched for the very first time
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mineBrittany and Mike:
Gonna give you all my love, boy
My fear is fading fast
Been saving it all for you
'Cause only love can lastQuinn and Puck:
You're so fine and you're mine
Make me strong, yeah you make me bold
Oh your love thawed out
Yeah, your love thawed out
What was getting cold
By the second chorus, tears we're brimming around Kurt's eyes, and at seeing that Henry had had enough. What the fuck? Kurt is crying now! This is such bullshit, why them? We are a couple too, and Finn and Santana just had sex! That doesn't make them a couple! It should be us! Well…yeah, it should and WILL be us! A smirk grew across his face as chorus started.
All
Like a virgin (hey)
Touched for the very first time (Henry: hey, yeah, he sang as he stood up and walked to where all the couples were standing, surprised looks from them, and one of pure shock from Kurt)
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mineOooh (whoah)
oooh, (Henry: whoah whoah Henry made the 'come hither' look at Kurt who grinned like a fool and slowly strutted, yeah strutted over to Henry, Mr. Shue stood off to the side frowning.)
oooh (Henry: yeah yeah yeah)
(Henry: whoah whoah At the three beats to the beginning of Finn and Santana's duet, Henry grabbed Kurt's had on one, pulled him flush to his own body on two, and moved his own face inches from Kurt's and used his other hand to plant a firm grip on Kurt's ass, on three. 'Sorry Finn and Santana, Henry thought, this one's ours'.)
Henry:
You're so fine and you're mine(Henry sang making his voice rough and sexy while brushing his hand to Kurt's reddening cheek, the look of shock back on his face. Finally he began to sing with Henry.)
Kurt and Henry:
I'll be yours 'till the end of time
'Cause you made me feel
Yeah, you made me feel
I've nothing to hide
As they sang, interrupting Finn and Santana, Santana just smirked at the boys while Finn's eyes filled with rage.
All
Like a virgin , hey
(Henry: you make me feel like a virgin Grinding on Kurt who looked even more shocked at Henry's line. 'Feel like a virgin? Kurt thought. Does that mean with a guy or girl?')
Touched for the very first time
(Henry: Ohhh baby)
Like a virgin
When your heart beats
Next to mineLike a virgin, ooh, ooh
Like a virgin (Henry: yeahh)
Feels so good inside
Jesse: When you hold me (Rachel: when you hold me)
Henry: When your heart beats (Kurt: when your heart beats)
Puck: When you love me (Quinn: when you love me baby)Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (Henry: yeah)
Ooh, baby
ohh
Like a virgin
The song finished, most clapped, well, everyone but Finn and Mr. Shue, Mercedes was smirking along with Santana, and Quinn smiled happily at the two boys. Mr. Shue ended the happy moment clearing his throat.
"Uh, Kurt, Henry." Shue frowned. "What was that? You two we not a duet in this song, it was Finn and Santana."
"Yeah, that is true, but they are not even a couple, me and Kurt are." Henry replied pulling Kurt closer."
"Yes, but I gave the part to Finn and Santana, and your dancing was most definitely crude, and probably against some school rule."
"But me and Kurt are a couple. Why did you not put us in there?" Henry asked, looking for the answer he thought before. After a long silence, Henry was furious all over again. "Is it because we're both guys?" Gasps and shocked faces filled the room as Mr. Shue loomed in on Henry.
"You two we're not in the song because you both have not proved you can handle a solo, not because of your sexuality." Mr. Shue growled. But at Mr. Shue's words, Kurt finally spoke, anger filled in his eyes.
"Henry blew us all away with not one, but two songs, one of which I'm not sure even the girls could pull off." Kurt blasted, referring to Henry's coming our song. "And I have showed you more than once that I can handle a solo, but then again they all go to Finn and Rachel, and now Jesse."
"Kurt, you auditioned for 'Defying Gravity' and blew the high F you said was well within your range, how can I trust you with a song to yourself?"
"Ha. You think I can't hit that high F? Brad, start at a high D."
As. Brad began to chromatically rise up the piano, Kurt was following all the way. And when Kurt hit the high F perfectly, the shocked faces of Mr. Shue and Rachel, and a whoop from Mercedes sounded. Kurt then looked even more smug and mentioned for Brad to continue, Kurt then went up all the way to a high B flat. Tina was now cheering along with Mercedes as Kurt finished.
"But…why did you blow the solo Kurt?" Mr. Shue asked in shock and awe.
"If you must know, the day before the diva off, someone called my dad's shop, telling him that his son was a fag." Kurt said in a completely casual tone. "If I sang a girl's song, the calls would only get more frequent. I hear that word all the time, my dad doesn't, it hurt him a lot. And at that point, that solo did not mean more to me than my dad."
"I…why didn't you tell us?"
"Well, one: it wasn't that important, it happens all the time. And second: it really isn't anyone's business but mine and my dad's."
Mr. Shue sighed in defeat. "Alright, you both made valid points, and I apologize for making you feel left out and believe that I didn't put you in the song because of your sexuality. Let's just call it a day and move on. See you all tomorrow.
Mr. Shue left first while everyone else began packing up. Mercedes and Tina jumped Kurt praising him on his amazing vocal range, then they jumped Henry, saying how great he was for sticking up for Kurt and making confronting Shue. Quinn softly smiled while Puck came up and fist bumped Henry, telling him that what he did was pretty badass. Rachel confronted Kurt on his high F fiasco.
"You're really brave Kurt. Throwing away a solo for your dad, I don't even think I could do that. And your range, you were great, now that Mr. Shue knows your entire vocal range you will for sure get a solo." Rachel said apologetically.
"Thanks Rachel." Kurt simply replied.
Rachel then grabbed Kurt in huge hug that he returned after a few seconds, Jesse and Henry just smile at the two finally getting along. After Jesse and Rachel left it, Kurt and Henry went to the parking lot, holding hands the entire way. Once they had to part, Kurt spoke.
"What you did today…thank you. You almost got us killed…but you made Shue finally realize that there are more people in the club besides Rachel and Finn, although I doubt that we'll get any solos in competition, it would be nice to have one as a possible selection."
"Maybe…but now he knows, and we called him out on it, that's a step."
"Yeah, and Mercedes and I have the next step tomorrow!"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh don't worry, you'll see. Just make sure you get to the pep rally."
"Hahaha. Alright. So what are your plans for the evening?" Henry teased.
"Oh I got this silly little date with this really dorky guy."
"Ouch." Henry said as he dramatically clenched his hand to his heart and put his other hand to his forehead.
"Mercedes is coming over soon to help me prepare. I can't wait for our date tonight." Kurt said, slapping Henry in the arm.
"Much better. See you at seven."
"Yes sir!" Kurt saluted mockingly.
"Ass."
"You like it."
"Your ass, why yes I do, got a good feel of it today."
"Pervert."
"You like it" Henry laughed as he walked to his car.
Getting in to his own, Kurt was beaming. He had a really great boyfriend. One that he could joke around so easily with, but who will also do crazy things for him, like literally steal a solo and dry hump him mid song, just to prove a point. Henry's so great. Kurt thought while driving home. He's crazy but really sweet, doing all that for me today. But tomorrow will be even better. But for now I have to get ready for my date! Squeeee! OMG…did I just squee in my thoughts? I need help.
As soon as he made it home, Mercedes was already there waiting impatiently. The soon met up and headed inside the house getting ready for a night full of romance and so much more, much more.
