Just Us
Chapter 14
"And that is why I believe Kurt and I should do a duet together for Regionals." Blaine smiled and closed out of the slideshow.
"Well that was an excellent PowerPoint Blaine, and some great points." Wes smiled, and the other members nodded in agreement.
"So, what do you think?" Blaine smiled with all his teeth in the way that always made Kurt laugh, but he tried to keep a straight face while the decision was being made.
"We have our concerns." Wes began. Blaine's face fell, and he spoke up before Wes could finish.
"I know some of you may not see Kurt the way I do. But you should all know that he lights up the stage. His voice is angelic, and he sings with such gladness that it is truly infectious to those performing with him. If you think he doesn't deserve this because he just transferred here then I don't deserve the solos I get either, because that is exactly how I was last year. If you think I only want this for him because we are dating, then you are insulting him beyond reason. No one here deserves this more than Kurt. The only reason I didn't ask you all to give him just a solo is because I so desperately want to be there with him on stage, soaking up all the positive energy he gives off during his performance. So, you know what I don't think we have the right people in charge if you don't think Kurt and I should do this."
"Woah Blaine calm down." Wes started laughing and the tip of Blaine's ears grew red in frustration.
"We think it's an awesome idea. The concern was why you thought you needed a whole presentation to convince us. You two will be amazing together. With you guys up there, we could win this thing."
The whole room erupted in hoots and hollers. Kurt sprang off the couch and ran into Blaine's arms.
"You did it." He whispered amid the comically loud cheering.
"We did it." Blaine corrected him, planting a kiss on his cheek.
"Okay guys let's rehearse!" Jeff yelled from the side of the room.
"My mom texted. Apparently, Carole was helping her look at apartments all day, she thinks she found one on the other side of town."
"That's good. I'll miss having you just right across the hall though."
Blaine smiled, bit his lip, and looked down at his drink. Kurt smiled back at him confused.
"What?"
"It's nothing."
"Tell me."
"No, it will just freak you out."
"Nothing can freak me out at this point." Blaine finally looked up at Kurt again, his grin crooked.
"I just thought that someday I won't have to be across town or even across the hall every night."
Kurt blushed and tried to hide his smile.
"Yeah. Someday." Kurt laughed. "Like way in the future."
"After you've won your first Tony?"
"I think next year might be too soon to start living together." Blaine burst into laughter. The boy that could barely talk to him or anybody else just a month or so ago was all of a sudden able to make jokes about his future. It made Blaine so unbelievably happy to be a part of Kurt's transition from bullied and beaten to proud and thinking about how successful he would be later in his life.
Blaine wanted to shut himself up, but he was on a blissful streak today. "The second gay marriage is legal I am going to ask you to marry me and you better say yes because it's going to be romantic as hell."
"Is that a promise?"
"You bet it is."
The two smiled at each other. Blaine laid his hand on the table and Kurt's smile grew before he looked at the other Lima Bean guests then placed his hand in his boyfriend's.
"At last." Blaine didn't understand what Kurt was referring to, but he lovingly squeezed his hand.
