anon prompted: anything with against all odds please.
"Okay Blaine is the only one left to perform, so Blaine what is your guilty pleasure?" Mr. Schue asks.
"Um, asdfghjkl" he mumbles so quietly that no one can hear him.
"Come on Blaine, you can do this" Sam encourages him from his seat.
"I think I should just sing the song, you'll understand" Blaine says. He really doesn't want to perform right now, he knows he won't be able to make it through the song. It's hard for him to walk over the piano without breaking down and sobbing. But he knows he has to do it.
How can I just let you walk away - just let you leave without a trace?
When I stand here taking every breath with you, oooo
You're the only one who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave?
'cause we've shared the laughter and the pain, and even shared the tears
You're the only one who really knew me at all
His fingers press harshly on the keys, one might mistake that they'd personally offended the teen. But when he started playing and singing… something took over his entire being.
So, take a look at me now - well, there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me - just the memory of your face
Take a look at me now, well, there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around - turn around and see me cry
As soon as he sings cry his voice breaks and he can't continue. He rests his head in his hands and let's out a heart wrenching sob. Marley runs from her seat and envelopes the older boy in a hug while he continues to cry into her shoulder.
He sniffles and coughs trying to regain some of his dignity.
"Um, in case- in case you didn't get it my guilty pleasure is Kurt" Blaine says weakly.
"But Blaine, you shouldn't feel guilty about loving someone" Tina tries to comfort him.
"Yes I should. I feel so bad that I can't let go of him. It literally kills me. I feel sick. He deserves so much more than me. I cheated on him. I broke his trust and it's not fair of me to make him feel bad because I still love him. It's not fair to him and I feel so bad about it but I can't stop. I can't let go. I just can't" Blaine cries.
"Maybe you should tell him that" Sam says.
"I can't Sam" Blaine says.
"I think you just did" someone says from the door.
Blaine spins around quickly because he knows that voice. Kurt.
"Kurt what are you?" Blaine starts but he's cut off by Kurt running and hugging him.
"Blaine don't cry baby please" Kurt coos.
"I'm sorry" Blaine cries.
"Don't be baby. Look, I wanted to do this romantically or whatever but it doesn't matter. Blaine I still love you. I do. I've always loved you. I didn't want to and I even hated you for what you did to me but I needed you far more than I hated you, Blaine I don't ever want you to feel bad about loving me. And I'm really sorry that I let this stupid break up go on so long. Please Blaine, take me back?" Kurt rambles.
"Always" Blaine stutters before surging forward to press their lips together. Both sigh into the kiss.
"What do you say we go back to your house and work on that pleasure part of this assignment?" Kurt whispers into Blaine's ear.
"Later guys!" Blaine says to the New Direction wiping the tears from his cheeks as they rush out hand in hand.
"They're going to have sex, aren't they" Sugar says.
"Yup" Sam grins as he dials Puck's number to tell him the good news.
