The Life and Times of Kurt Hummel
Season 4, Episode 13: THE VALENTINE PROJECT
13/22- Valentine's Day rolls around again, and Kurt is shocked when he discovers Blaine is going on a date, but his shock turns to rage when he finds out who Blaine's date is. Meanwhile, Santana and Dani host a Valentine's themed party.
At the diner, the whole group were together when Santana and Dani approached them.
"Great news!" Dani exclaimed.
"You got into One Three Hill?" Kurt asked, referring to what happened the week before.
"Well, yes, actually, but extra good news! Gunther's letting us host a party here!" Dani said.
"We're organising the whole thing and it's going to be Valentine's themed and right here and Valentine's night. We'll have people on dates and people who are celebrating being single! We're calling it The Valentine Project. It will be AMAZING." Santana said.
"You'll all come, right?" Dani asked. The group all reluctantly nodded. Kurt and Blaine looked at each other for a moment.
-THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KURT HUMMEL-
"Blaine?" Kurt shouted in the apartment, entering the room which had finally been made up for Blaine so he didn't have to share with anyone. He saw Blaine sat in front of a mirror in a white shirt, baby blue bow tie and skinny jeans. Kurt tried to ignore how attracted he was to Blaine at that moment.
"You look smart." Kurt said. Blaine smiled at him.
"Thanks." He replied. Kurt stared at him for a while.
"What's the occasion?" Kurt asked.
"Santana and Dani's party later."
"What about it?"
"I've got a date." Blaine said. Kurt took a step back.
"...Oh." Kurt whispered. Blaine stood up.
"Well, it's just that we aren't together so I thought I might as well just-"
"-Blaine, it's fine. Don't worry. You have the right to go on dates." Kurt said with pain in his heart.
"Thanks, I appreciate this." Blaine smiled and hugged Kurt.
"You're the best." He added and walked out. Kurt's voice stopped him.
"Do I know him?"
Blaine turned around.
"...You could say that."
...
"You're going on a date with HIM?" Kurt asked furiously.
"Kurt, it's just a date." Blaine said.
"But with Elliott? You and Starchild? How could you do this? He's trying to steal my job from me!" Kurt exclaimed.
"I get it, Kurt, but it's just a date. You know nothing's gonna come from it because...well, you know. Because of my feelings I already have that aren't going anywhere." Blaine said. Kurt was left silent.
"...So you won't go out again after today?" Kurt asked.
"No, I promise. I just...don't want to be alone on Valentine's Day. I was alone for so much of the past year and, well, we all know how that ended." Blaine said. Kurt nodded then hugged Blaine tight.
"Okay. I'm sorry. But I still can't stand him." Kurt said and Blaine chuckled.
...
Heart balloons and red lanterns filled The Spotlight Diner as it filled with romantics and singles all over the place as Santana and Dani's party took full swing. However, Kurt was still glum. Even the incredible party didn't stop Kurt feeling down. As he watched Blaine take to the stage and heard music begin, he knew it was only a matter of time before Elliott turned up. Kurt was certain he'd only asked Blaine out to get at him. Blaine started singing.
"Love, love, love (Love) There's nothing you can do that can't be done (Love) Nothing you can make that can't be made All you need is love
Love, love, love
Love, love, love
(Love) Nothing you can sing that can't be sung
(Love) Nothing you can say, but you can learn
How to play the game,

How to be you in time
It's easy (Love)
All you need is love
All you need is love, love
Love is all you need
Love, love, love All you need is love, (Love) Nothing you can know that isn't known All you need is love Love is all you need (Love is all you need)
Love, love, love
Love, love, love

(Love is all you need)
All you need is love

Love is all you need (Love is all you need)
He loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah (Love is all you need)
He loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah (Love is all you need)
He loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah."
As the song ended, everyone applauded and Elliott walked in and waved at Blaine before taking a seat at a table. As Blaine joined him, Elliott looked at Kurt and smiled. Seeing them together made Kurt livid. The temptation to go over and pour water over Elliott's head was proving difficult to fight. Kurt decided to just try and have fun and focus on the music to distract his thought. He saw Dani at the bar and joined her.
"Great party! Where's Santana?" He asked.
"Thanks! She's talking to Brittany on the phone. I don't wanna know what exactly they're talking about, with it being Valentine's Day and all." Dani said and Kurt smiled.
"Yeah. Where's Rachel? I completely forgot this is her first Valentine's without Finn." Kurt said sadly. Dani smiled and pointed to the corner of the room, where Rachel and Sam were sat laughing at a table. Kurt smiled.
"Sam had the same thought so asked her to be his date. He wanted to cheer her up." Dani said.
"What a guy." Kurt added as he watched the two continue to laugh together.
"I bet it's good to see her smiling again, huh?" Dani asked. Kurt nodded.
"Yeah. It's been a tough year. Seeing sights like that doesn't help." Kurt said, gesturing towards Blaine and Elliott.
"Yeah, I saw that! What is that about?"
"He's trying to get one over on me. Anyway, I'm gonna sing something." Kurt said and walked onto the stage before whispering a song into the pianist's ear. He started playing and everyone stopped and turned to face Kurt, even Blaine and Elliott. Blaine smiled at Kurt as Kurt started to sing, looking in Blaine's direction for most of the time.
"How long will I love you? How long will I be with you? How long will I want you? How long will I give to you? How long will I love you? We're all traveling through time together
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I can.
How long will I need you?
As long as the seasons need to
Follow their plan.
As long as the sea is bound to
Wash upon the sand.
As long as you want me to
And longer by far.
How long will I hold you?
As long as your father told you,
As long as you can.
As long as I live through you
However long you say.
As long as stars are above you
And longer, if I may.
Every day of our lives.
All we can do is do our best
To relish this remarkable ride."
The song ended and everyone applauded. As a new song began the dance space filled with people, including a smiling Rachel dragging a reluctant Sam to the middle of the floor to dance with her. Kurt, Santana and Dani all sat together and had fun while Blaine continued his date with Elliott, but spent a lot of it staring at Kurt.
...
That night, Kurt walked back into the apartment and saw Blaine watching TV with a hot chocolate in hand.
"Where is everyone?" Kurt asked.
"Santana's asleep and Rachel and Sam went out to get a burger or something. They're getting me one, otherwise I'd be in bed too." Blaine explained.
"You left pretty early." Kurt said, sitting next to Blaine.
"Yeah, didn't want to be tempted by any alcohol." Blaine admitted. Kurt nodded understandingly.
"...How did the date go?" Kurt eventually asked.
"Nothing special. He talked about Vogue A LOT." Blaine said.
"So, it won't be happening again?"
"No, Kurt. I'll let him just be your enemy and not my boyfriend. Deal?" Blaine said.
"Deal." Kurt smiled. He grabbed Blaine's hot chocolate from his hand and took a sip before handing it back.
"That's nice." Kurt said.
"I'll make you one; I'm not having you stealing mine. Again." Blaine smiled and stood up. Kurt laughed.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Blaine." Kurt said. Blaine smiled at him.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Kurt."
...
NEXT TIME...
"You know what they say; keep your friends close..."
In Kurt's eyes, it was the perfect plan.
"I believe we'll be okay..."
Blaine and Santana were touched by his words.
