So a lot of people requested Mike/Kurt, in both the friendship and romantic relationship sense, so for this one I will tell you this: interpret it as you like. I've got plans for these two, so there will be more to come. And sorry for the wait!

It took Kurt two days to talk Mike into performing the dance in front of the rest of the club.

Mike had confessed that he had been planning on doing it in front of the rest of the club on Day of Silence, but obviously that hadn't worked since Kurt hadn't been there. But this was different, he argued. It wasn't like they could do this song for a competition or anything. There wasn't any singing; it was just dancing. He'd feel like a complete show off.

Kurt assured him that he wouldn't, and before he knew it, a very stubborn Matt was pushing him in front of the rest of the group.

His face flushed before he'd even started dancing. It still felt like showing off, even though Kurt and Matt and Mercedes had all assured him it wasn't. He allowed the familiar music to lull him back into the mindset he'd had the first time around, launching into the sequence and not paying attention to the confused look on Rachel's face.

Everyone clapped when he had finished, though a couple people still looked confused.

"That was incredible, Mike," Mr. Schuester offered, smiling broadly. "Very different from your usual style. Did it have any significance?"

Mike noticed Kurt mouth the last sentence along with Mr. Schue and knew he had said something. He managed to keep himself from rolling his eyes, but just barely.

"Yeah, I put it together the day before Day of Silence," he didn't make eye contact with anyone as he spoke, deciding to focus on the back wall instead. "I wanted to find a song that expressed the feelings that came along with the day, and this song just fit."

"It was beautiful," Mr. Schuester nodded, gesturing for Mike to return to his seat. "Thank you for sharing it with us."

Either Kurt had given Mr. Schue a warning way ahead of time or he was a quick thinker, because their teacher suddenly launched into a speech about the importance of non-verbal communication, ending the lecture with their assignment. They were each to find a song without lyrics and either write lyrics that fit with it or choreograph a dance to it. It was the kind of assignment Mike could do in his sleep.

He left glee practice feeling extremely confident with this next assignment, doing a couple impromptu moves over to his locker. He was searching for his math book when he heard Kurt's voice coming from behind him.

"I never asked you how you found that movie."

Mike turned, book in hand and closing his locker behind him. "What do you mean?" he asked, starting off towards the school's parking lot.

"The movie the song was from," Kurt elaborated. "Were the World Mine. Don't take this the wrong way, but it's the kind of movie I'd expect Rachel's dads to know about, not you. So how'd you find it?"

"It started with google and then it kind of ended with clicking a lot of random links until I got to the movie's website," Mike honestly couldn't remember how exactly he'd found it. "I was looking for a song, obviously, but I didn't really have anything of my own that fit. So I think I started looking for musicals. Or something."

"The internet works in strange ways," Kurt smiled at him knowingly. "I'm glad you found it. Your dancing was much better than any of the stuff in the actual movie."

"Thanks," Mike's stomach turned over. He's used to getting compliments on his dancing, but never from someone as picky as Kurt. It was unexpected and nice and a little nerve-wracking at the same time. But he'd worry about that last part later.

"And I never really thanked you properly for it," Kurt said as they walked down the steps outside. "It really means a lot to me that you'd make a dance all for Day of Silence." Mike noticed that Kurt's cheeks were tinged pink. "Anyway, there's this musical playing in Akron in two weeks, and my dad got me tickets. I mean, I totally get it if you don't want to go. Musicals aren't really most people's thing and I get that around here the second you go to a musical you're automatically gay and anyone who found out about it would probably think it's, like, a date or something so I totally understand if you don't want to."

He got all that out in one breath.

"But I have two tickets and I figured I'd offer anyway." Kurt was pointedly looking at the parking lot and not at him, but Mike still noticed how red his cheeks were.

"That sounds like fun," Mike said, smiling and catching Kurt completely by surprise. "What show?"

"A-A Chorus Line," Kurt stammers on the first letter, probably because he expected Mike to turn down the offer. "It's about, well, a chorus line. Of dancers. So I thought you might like it."

"Yeah, I think I've heard of it," Mike nodded. "That'd be great. I'd love to go."

Kurt finally turned to look at him and Mike realized the other boy's face was completely red.

"Great," Kurt sounded relieved. "My dad got the tickets for next Saturday in the evening. Is that okay?"

"Yep, sounds great," Mike nodded again.

"Great," Kurt repeated. "So, I guess we'll figure out the details between now and then?"

"Perfect," Mike decided to switch it up and not say 'great' again. "Yeah, we'll talk." They'd reached Kurt's car and the smaller boy was slowly edging towards it. Mike spared them the awkwardness of figuring out how to end the conversation by saying, "I'll see you tomorrow," and raising his hand in a small wave.

"See you," Kurt echoed.

Mike grinned as he continued to his car, even though he was trying to tell his stomach to stop celebrating, because going to a musical with Kurt wasn't that exciting.
