Klaine Advent Challenge-Day 15: Ocean

By-andthenIfound5dollars

A/N: I am two weeks behind on posting a chapter of Part 3. *hangs head in shame* But guess what I've been working on? The Klaine Christmas Advent Challenge! That's right! I wrote all 24 drabbles of the Advent inside the Family Verse. Here we go!

When Maddie was eleven years old, she became obsessed with a boy band called 1-3 Squared.

They really only had one hit song. A remake of the Ron Pope song, Drop in the Ocean.

She sang it everywhere. In the shower, at the breakfast table, while she was doing her chores….she even wrote a version of it to play on her cello…she basically drove her parents and siblings absolutely crazy.

Sophie begged her to find another CD, Liam covered his ears and prayed for death…out loud. Blaine thought it was adorable, and Kurt was left scratching his head.

"That song seems so familiar to me…" Kurt said one morning as Maddie was getting ready upstairs in her bathroom with the song blaring."

Blaine walked out of their closet. "You mean, not from the approximately 8 billion times she's played it since yesterday?"

"Haha, very funny," Kurt said. He pulled on his shirt and buttoned it up. "It's a remake, right?"

Blaine walked into their office to pack his bag up for the day. "Yeah, I think so…"

Kurt nodded as he hummed along, double knotting his tie in the full length mirror in their closet. A memory came to him suddenly and he sucked in a breath.

"You okay?"

Kurt looked up and Blaine was right behind him, a concerned look on his face. Kurt nodded and managed a smile. "Yeah. I'll be down in a minute."

Blaine shrugged and kissed the back of his husband's head, before heading downstairs.

Kurt shook off the memory and went about the rest of his morning routine. He kissed his husband and kids goodbye, and got to work…the song never far from his mind.

That night, Carole and Burt came over for Thursday night dinner. Maddie was singing along with the music playing from her earbuds as she and Liam set the table.

"Maddie—I am begging you," Liam whined. Maddie just stuck out her tongue and squealed as Liam started chasing her into the family room.

Burt turned and laughed at the kids. "What's up with those two?"

Blaine looked up from the fish he was taking from the oven. "Oh, Maddie's obsessed with a song. She keeps playing it, pretty much nonstop."

Kurt stayed quiet, tossing the salad he and Sophie had put together. "Come on you two, finish the table so we can eat."

Kurt breathed a sigh of relief as Maddie put down her iPod and the dinner conversation went on from there…that is, until his traitor father brought it up again and Maddie launched into a twenty minute detailed explanation of the song, ending with Maddie going for her iPod so Grampy could hear the song too.

"Wait…this sounds familiar," Burt said after a few moments and Kurt inwardly groaned. "Oh my god, this is the song!"

Kurt set his head on the table with a thunk.

"Kurt! Isn't this the song?"

"Daaaaad."

"Wait, what am I missing?" Blaine asked as he and Carole brought in the pie Carole had made for dessert.

Burt was laughing too hard to answer, so Carole picked up the earbud and listened to a few bars of the song…a slow grin crossing her face. "Oh."

"What is going on?" Blaine asked as all three kids looked at the adults in the room in bewilderment. "What is so funny?"

"Kurt?" Burt asked as he worked to get control of himself as Carole dissolved into giggles as well. "Do you want to tell them, or should we?"

Kurt lifted his head from his arms and shot daggers at his father and step-mother. "I may have…I may have sang this song…many years ago…to what I thought was myself. About a certain someone."

"A certain someone?" Burt bellowed as the kids started to giggle as well. "You changed the words to 'Blaine'!"

The corners of Blaine's mouth began to quiver as Kurt turned to him and ignored the outbursts of laughter from the rest of their family. "Maybe some people caught me."

"Honey, you were in the living room…singing into your hairbrush," Carole reminded him as Burt and the kids continued to howl with laughter.

Blaine hid his smile behind his hand.

"It was before we got together…and I was just a little smitten."

"A little?" Burt asked, winking to the kids. "And the ocean is just a little bit wet."

"Shush it, you!" Kurt called, rolling his eyes.

Blaine laughed and pulled Kurt into his arms, kissing him lightly on the lips. "I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one who was smitten, and performed songs into their hairbrush."

Kurt smiled and returned the small kiss before shushing the kids and telling them to get back to their dinner before he took away computer privileges for all of them for an entire week.
