The Life and Times of Kurt Hummel
Season 4, Episode 21: RAISE YOUR GLASS
21/22- Kurt and Blaine are loved up after spending the night together, and after looking back over their relationship they come to a decision. Meanwhile, Rachel accompanies Sam to one of his photoshoot sessions.
Kurt woke up the next morning and was shocked to see different surroundings than he was used to, then smiled when he remembered what had happened between him and Blaine. He rolled to his side and saw Blaine was awake and watching him with a smile on his face.
"Hi." Kurt whispered.
"Hi." Blaine whispered back.
"I've missed waking up to you." Kurt smiled.
"Me too."
The boys sat up and couldn't help but smile.
"So..." Blaine began.
"...Yeah. What now?" Kurt asked.
"I dunno. What is this?" Blaine wondered.
"I dunno. It was great, that's for sure, but is this...us getting back together?" Kurt questioned.
"...I hope so." Blaine said. Kurt smiled.
"Okay, how about we both think about this over the next few hours and tonight we'll decide. We can keep this to ourselves for now and not tell anyone. Agreed?" Blaine suggested. Kurt nodded but couldn't help but kiss Blaine before getting changed.
Once the two boys were changed, Kurt slowly opened the door to try and sneak out without being spotted.
"Is everyone still asleep?" Blaine whispered.
"I think so." Kurt replied. The two boys sighed out of relief and walked out Blaine's room.
Right into the path of Rachel, Santana and Sam, who were sat on the couch staring at them.
"Wanky." Santana giggled.
-THE LIFE AND TIMES OF KURT HUMMEL-
"So, are you two getting back together?" Santana asked as Kurt made himself breakfast. Rachel was listening, intrigued, while Sam and Blaine had gone out to talk alone.
"I don't know yet; we're just having today to ourselves to think. So let's drop it, okay?" Kurt said. Santana shrugged while Rachel pretended she hadn't even been listening. Kurt smiled to himself, filled with hope. He knew he wanted to get back with Blaine, but he was still unsure of exactly what Blaine would decide.
...
"So, are you two getting back together?" Sam asked as he and Blaine entered the diner.
"I don't know yet. We're giving each other today to think about what we want to do. I mean, the last few times we've tried it ended horribly..." Blaine began.
"But?"
"...But it's Kurt. And I think it would be great." Blaine said with a smile.
"Well, go tell him that!" Sam said happily.
"No, not yet. I need to give him time."
"Blaine, he TOLD you, like, a day ago that he wants you back. And we all know you two are meant to be! I say we have an early celebration!" Sam exclaimed and took to the stage of the diner, inviting Blaine to join him. He whispered to the nearby band and the music began. Sam sang.
"Right, right, turn off the lights
We're gonna lose our minds tonight
What's the deal, yo?
I love when it's all too much
5 a.m. turn the radio up
Where's the rock 'n roll?"
Blaine smiled and joined in. "Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?"
The boys sang together. "So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!"
Blaine sang. "Slam, slam, oh hot damn
What part of a party don't you understand?
Wish you'd just freak out
Can't stop, coming in hot
I should be locked up right on the spot
It's so on right now."
Sam sang. "Party crasher, panty snatcher
Call me up if you're a gangsta
Don't be fancy, just get dancy
Why so serious?"
The boys sang together again. "So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!"
Blaine sang again.
"My glass is empty So if you're too school for cool
That sucks!
(I mean)
And you're treated like a fool
(You're treated like a fool)
You can choose to let it go
We can always, we can always party on our own"
Blaine and Sam sang together again. "So raise your (So raise your glass if you are wrong)
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty, gritty, dirty, little freaks
So raise your glass if you are wrong
In all the right ways, all my underdogs
We will never be, never be anything but loud
And nitty gritty, dirty little freaks
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass!
Won't you come on and come on and
Raise your glass for me!
Just come on and come on and
Raise your glass
For me!"
The boys hugged and laughed together as Sam got drinks from the bar and handed a glass to Blaine.
"To Klaine!" Sam toasted. Blaine laughed as they raised their glasses.
...
Later that day, Rachel and Sam walked into a studio where loads of people were rushing around, models and photographers and other staff. In the middle of the room was a large set decorated with ribbons and chairs. Rachel was overwhelmed by the atmosphere.
"Thanks for coming with me; it means a lot. This is one of my first big gigs the agency booked for me." Sam explained.
"No problem; I've always wanted to experience such a busy atmosphere and get a taste of a professional environment. I'm sure I'll be used to it by the time I'm working on Broadway." Rachel said. Sam smiled at her.
"I love how you dream big."
The two smiled at each other as Sam went to get changed. Rachel took a seat behind the scenes and couldn't help but smile at the sight of so many people working together so well and seeing potential stars haven their picture taken again and again, hoping Sam would be one of them one day. As she looked around she was more positive than ever that she was destined for stardom; it was the one environment she was destined to be in.
...
Kurt returned to the apartment and found Blaine was sat on the sofa, clearly waiting for him.
"Where is everyone?" Kurt asked.
"Santana's at the diner and Sam and Rachel are at a photoshoot." Blaine explained. Kurt nodded and sat next to him.
"I've been walking everyone, thinking. About life, NYADA, Vogue, Finn..." Kurt began.
"So, what about us?" Blaine asked.
"...And I've been thinking about us more than anything else. And honestly, I stand by how I've been feeling recently. I love you, Blaine, and I know you're scared about how it could turn out for us and if it could all go wrong again but I promise it won't. Your drinking was made even worse by breaking up, so we both know how good we are for each other. I need you Blaine, and as more than a friend. If I know anything about the rest of my life, I know that you are always a part of it. And last night proved that. We're incredible together, and we're ready." Kurt explained. Blaine smiled and moved to the stereo. He started the music and sat Kurt down on the floor before joining him. Kurt knew Blaine had made a decision.
"I wanna sing how I feel; it always works better on you. Just like how I sang for you before our first kiss. The first of many." Blaine said and started to sing. Recognising the song, Kurt began to tear up at the pure emotion in Blaine's voice and behind his eyes he could see the love he felt.
"For you, there'll be no more crying, To you, I'll give the world And the songbirds are singing, And I wish you all the love in the world, And the songbirds keep singing,
For you, the sun will be shining,
And I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right
To you, I'll never be cold
'Cause I feel that when I'm with you,
It's alright, I know it's right.
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before.
But most of all, I wish it from myself.
Like they know the score,
And I love you, I love you, I love you,
Like never before, like never before."
The song ended and immediately the boys lips found each other's. The broke apart and took hands.
"I love you so much." Blaine whispered passionately.
"I love you more." Kurt added.
"Not possible." Blaine said and kissed Kurt again.
"So, we're doing this? No more stupid fights or break ups? I don't wanna go through losing you ever again." Kurt said.
"No fights. No break ups. Just you and me, forever. Just how it should be." Blaine said and smiled. The boys hugged, finally back together again.
...
Rachel, Santana and Sam all came through the door later that night having met up at the diner. They smiled as they saw Kurt and Blaine cuddled up on the sofa, their hands linked with Kurt resting his head on Blaine's shoulder as they watched TV.
"Hey..." Santana said knowingly as the group all smiled.
"Hey." Kurt and Blaine said at the same time then giggled over it.
"Oh, this is great! You are back together, right, and not just creepily close friends?" Rachel asked.
"Yes Rachel, we are definitely, finally, back together." Kurt smiled. Everyone showed happiness and it filled the room very quickly. The group all settled down by the sofa and watched the TV with grins spread from ear to ear on all their faces. Kurt looked around all his smiling friends and then up at Blaine, who kissed his forehead and smiled. Kurt hadn't been so happy for a long time; all was well at last and he finally had the love of his life back.
He wished that nothing would ever have to change again. He wanted nothing to interrupt this perfect forever he wanted to live in until the end of days.
He had no idea of the choice he'd have to make that would change his life forever.
...
NEXT TIME...
"Burt? What are you doing here?"
Kurt had to make a choice. NYADA or Vogue?
"I think I'll try defying gravity..."
Blaine looked at Kurt, knowing his destiny was to be with him forever.
