Kyrie's POV
The plane ride to New York sent me on edge. I fidgeted the whole way there. I had a man sitting next to me who snored the whole way there. The urge, no need, to see Rory again was so great. I had to tell him.
Finally the plane touched down and I all but raced to find a cab, having only my carry-on on my back.
"TAXI!" I screamed. After five minutes of screaming at cabs and telling other people to piss off a cab finally pulled over. I climbed in.
"Where too young lady?" the cab driver asked.
"Do you know where the Show Choir Nationals are being held?" I asked, almost out of breath.
"Yeah, I was goanna go watch after I dropped you off. I was afraid I would miss it but I guess we're headed the same way now," he said with a smile as he started the engine. We moved in silence for a few minutes before he started talking again. "So who are you routing for to win?"
"New Directions."
"The underdogs from Ohio? Why?" the cab driver asked.
"I'm part of their group," the cab driver let out a low whistle.
"Well we'd better hurry along then, I hear they're up first," he said before revving the engine down the streets.
As soon as the cab pulled up outside the building I was out and racing up the steps.
"Good luck girl!" the cab driver shouted. I didn't wave or anything, just kept running.
This was it, this was the last leg in this fucked up year I had spent worrying about everything that could happen. Everything that had happened over the year was leading up to this moment. Rory Flannigan was waiting for me through those doors and all my love was for him and him alone.
As I passed the doors into the auditorium a hand grabbed my arm, causing me to stop dead in my tracks.
"Kyrie?" I turned to see Melody, eyes wide with confusion. "What are you doing here?"
"Where's Rory?" I gasped out. Melody's brow creased.
"He's back stage getting ready for our duet," she answered.
"I've got to talk to him," I said.
"Can't it wait until after we've performed?" she begged. I shook my head.
"No! I have to tell him I love him!" I cried. Melody's eyes bugged out again.
"You-You? Yes! I knew you wouldn't run away from this!" she cried happily, hugging me tightly.
"Melody where is he?" I begged again, tears in my eyes.
"Well don't cry! Look, Sam is doing his Footloose solo while Mike and Brittney dance behind him. Next up is Rory and mines duet and then it's the group piece." I stared at her.
"Why are you and Rory doing a duet? Normally it would be Rachel and Finn," I asked. Melody gave me a sad smile.
"They gave it to Rory because he was so destroyed over what happened between you guys. He hasn't really said a word since it happened."
"Has he been eating and sleeping?" I asked worriedly. Melody looked like she was about to start crying.
"You really love him don't you?" It was obvious she was referring to the last time me and Rory got in a fight. I had told her about it. "To answer your question, yes. Finn and Sam haven't let him out of their sight since we landed." I sighed in relief.
"Fine, I'll wait until you guys finish," I sighed, running a hand through my hair. Melody gave me a wicked smile, grabbing my hand and dragging me to the nearest bathroom.
"Switch clothes with me," she said, already stripping herself of her deep purple dress. My eyes widened but I complied since she would need clothes.
As soon as we had switched she dragged me back over to the door. I could hear massive applause on the other side, people whistling as Sam finished his song.
"Ok, Sam has finished his number so that means Rory and I, or should I say you, are up." my eyes widened.
"Melody! I don't even know what song you guys are doing! I can't take your place!" I cried. Melody just smiled.
"You'll know it when you hear it," she said softly.
I waited for the music to come on, gasping when I heard a very familiar tune start up. I looked to Melody, who had tears glistening in her eyes.
"Rory picked it. He said it reminded him of you," I couldn't cry, I was about to go on for a number I hadn't rehearsed. "Good luck," she whispered. As the intro carried on I flashed back to everything we had shared.
The first time I saw him in music class, Rory finding me outside the change rooms, our first surf together, our audition to west side story, our kiss in the rain, Rory saving me from drowning, us nearly having sex, Rory taking care of me after the Dodgeball incident, our first major fight, Rory nearly killing himself over our fight, sectionals, Christmas and New Years, Rory saving me from Vocal Adrenaline, our dip in the pool and our second fight. All of it leading up to this moment. This one. Last. Moment.
"Go and be with Sam," I whispered, my voice shaking. Melody nodded, dashing off to be with her man.
(Rory:)
Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
Want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more
He looked so broken, but all these people would probably think he was acting. Only I could share in his heartache and only I could heal it.
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sing?
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
With a deep breath I stepped through the curtains, prepared for the man I love
(Kyrie:)
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Rory's head snapped up to look at me as I descended the steps, his eyes widening as they landed on me.
(Kyrie:) Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
His eyes focused completely on me, his mouth hanging open before he began to sing again.
(Both:)
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
(Kyrie:)
It all revolves around you
I was on the stage now, slowly approaching him. He looked almost afraid of me, backing up slightly as I got closer. I stopped in front of him. He reached forwards, trailing his finger lightly down my jaw. I smiled hopefully at him.
(Both:)
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song, and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather,
And stars may collide
Rory's face broke out into a smile, his breath hitching as he drew it in for the next few lines. At the same time he cupped my face in his hands, staring right into my eyes.
(Both:)
But I love you (I love you)
Until the end of time (until the end of time)
(Both:)
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
I took a couple steps away, turning my back on him. Just as Melody said, he caught me in his arms, wrapping them around my waist and burying his face into my hair.
(Both:)
Oh, come what may
Come what may
I will love you, oh I will love you
(Kyrie:)
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place.
As I sang this line Rory spun me around, leaning his forehead against mine.
(Both:)
Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day
Rory held my face in his warm hands, tears in his eyes as he stared into mine.
"I love you," he whispered. I wanted him to kiss me so badly, but we both knew how that had lost the others the competition last year.
"I love you too, Rory, so much," I whispered back. His face broke out into a wide grin, one tear finally slipping down his cheek. I was already crying, but reached up to wipe it away from his cheek.
Everything in life leads up to one moment that opens up to so much more. This is my moment.
And this moment could have only been made better by all our friends coming onto the stage, Finn and Rachel opening up with the perfect song. I looked around and was glad to see that Melody had found a spare dress, Sam's arm around her. As the intro burst out and everyone began dancing like 1980's teenagers in a mosh pit, I looked up at Rory.
"You used my Rock Of Ages medley," I whispered and he smiled.
"It was too good to pass up," he answered. I would have thanked him, but Finn interrupted him with Lonny's part.
(Finn:)
Come on feel the noise
Girls rock your boys
We'll get wild, wild, wild!
Rory and I laughed as the others all but sprinted onto the stage, Rory's arm going straight to my waist. He pulled me into the group that was slowly forming around us.
(New Directions:)
Wild, wild, wild!
(Finn:)
Yeah! what's going down home listeners!
That's right, we're going back to a sexier time!
And if you were here, you could see this super hot chick driving past me right now.
Rory squeezed my waist at the words 'super hot chick' and I laughed.
(Finn:) Rockin' steady in her daddy's car She got the stereo with the big guitars And that's all right! yeah!
(New Directions:) All right!
(Finn:)
I got the itch and a restless soul
(Rachel:)
She gone with the wind

(New Directions:)

(Finn:)
That's it, that's it!

(New Directions:)

(Finn:)

(Puck:)

(New Directions:)
This must be just like livin' in paradise
(Finn:)
Just like paradise!
(New Directions:)
And I don't want to go home!
(Rory:)
I ain't never goin' home!
I never thought Rory's voice could sound so...raw and powerful. Oh how I wish he wouldn't have to go home.
(New Directions:)
This must be just like livin' in paradise!
And I don't want to go home!
(Finn:)
That's right, my babies. Welcome to The Sunset Strip! "An Acid Wash Epicenter!"
Do you feel it! Man, back in the day if a fella had a dream, a fifth of Jack
and a decent amount of hair, there was nowhere else to be!
(Rory:)
Now listen!
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meat
(New Directions)
I'm always workin', slavin', every day
Gotta get away from the same old same old!
(Rory:)
I need a chance just to get away!
(Finn:)
If you could hear him think…
(Rory:)
This is what I'd say!
(New Directions:)
Don't need nothin' but a good time
(Rory)
How can I resist?
(New Directions)
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time!
And it don't get better than this
(Finn:)
That's our boy, Rory Flannigan.
(Rory:)
Actually, I prefer my new stage name, Wolfgang Von Colt!
(Finn:)
Adorable. See, Rory is a barback here at the legendary "Dupree's Bourbon Room!"
Owned by none other than the most badass bar owner this side of…anywhere! Meet
Noah Puckerman! He owns this historic temple of Rock n' Roll kick-assery.
(Noah:)
I raise a toast to all of us
Who are breakin' our backs everyday
If wantin' the good life is such a crime…
(Rory:)
Lord, then put me away!
(Puck:)
Here's to you!
(New Directions:)
Don't need nothin' but a good time
(Rory, Finn and Puck:)
How can I resist?
(New Directions:)
Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time
And it don't get better than this Don't need nothin' but a good time How can I resist? Ain't lookin' for nothin' but a good time And it don't get better than this Don't get better than Don't get better than-
(Finn:)
Wait a minute!
The music halted suddenly before soft piano came on, Finn and Rachel coming to stand behind me while Rory pulled away and walked off stage. I knew exactly what he was doing, having come up with this myself.
Finn:
Three thousand, three hundred and thirty seven Waffle Houses away in the little town of Paola, Kansas.

Motoring
What's your price for flight
In finding mister right
(Kyrie:)
You'll be alright tonight
I wandered around the stage, walking backwards towards where I knew Rory was. As soon as my back hit his I spun around, pretending we were only just meeting.
(Kyrie:) [SPOKEN]
I'm Kyrie.
(Rory:)
[SPOKEN]

[SPOKEN]

(Puck:)
[SPOKEN]
We are not hiring right now. Sorry, sweetie.
(Kyrie:)
[SPOKEN]
Oh, look at that! A lucky penny!
Just like in the play, Rory dropped a penny in front of me which I bent down to pick up, making sure Puck and the audience got a good look at my butt.
(Puck:)
[SPOKEN]
BUTT... I suppose we could always use some extra help.
(Kyrie:)
[SPOKEN]
Oh my God, are you kidding? I'd love a job!
(Rory:)
[SPOKEN]
Well, just until you make it big, of course.
(Blaine:)
Sister Christian
Oh, the time has come
(Puck:)
[SPOKEN]
I'll let my boy Rory show you around.
I loved this part, the part where mine and Rory's characters got in some harmless flirting. It reminded me of when we would just hang out on the beach, our little back and forth making me giggle at the memory.
(Quin:)
And you know that you're the only one
To say
(Rory)
[SPOKEN]
You want a drink or something?
(Kyrie:)
Okay
I listened as the others sang the small phrases of the songs under our talking, the harmonies and pitch perfect.
(Rory:)
[SPOKEN]
I was goanna get a slurpee. You want one?
(Kyrie:)
[SPOKEN]
I love slurpees!
(Rory:)
[SPOKEN]

I say 'no way'! Cherry okay?
(Kyrie:)
[SPOKEN]
I love cherry!
(Rory:)
And it don't get better than...
(New Directions:)
What's your price for...
"This," I finished, panting with Rory staring into my eyes, his hand on my cheek. No one but me and Rory knew how mush truth there was behind those words.
Rory and I didn't stick around to hear who had won, right now we couldn't care less. With his hand around mine, Rory and I took a cab back to the hotel where they were staying. We were quite, both of us content with the silence.
As soon as we reached the hotel, Rory led me to the floor they were staying on. He stopped in front of room 304 and unlocked the door.
"A double bed?" I asked as he pulled me in. He blushed.
"Yeah, there was an uneven number and everybody wanted to try and cheer me up so they pitched in for a deluxe room. All I needed, wanted, was you though," he said, the last part while he stared right into my eyes.
"Is there a place I can change? this dress is starting to itch," I murmured quietly. Rory nodded his head towards a door. Shouldering my bag, I walked in and found that it was a bathroom. I quickly changed into a pair of pyjama shorts and a low cut top, the hotels heater making everything warmer then needed. I quietly slipped out just in time to see Rory pulling his shirt on, the last of his skin disappearing from sight. I couldn't wait any more.
"Rory?" I said quietly, walking up to him as he turned.
"Yes Kyrie," his voice had deepened drastically as the air between us suddenly warmed up even more.
"Kiss me," I barely got the words out before he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine. Everything melted away as his soft plump lips met mine. Both of us knew what we wanted from this, we had waited so long to touch each other, feel each others skin against our own.
I pulled his deep purple dress shirt from his body, unbuttoning each button slowly while letting my fingers graze his chest and stomach. He would groan in content each time I touched him, his hands stroking my lower back under my shirt. The light hit him in all the right places, on his bare broad chest, showing the features nicely. The light hit his face, showing me the intense look on his face, and the wonder in his glorious blue eyes.
He walked us over to the bed, slowly lifting the sheets away. I lay down before he climbed in after. I was facing him, eyes wide in wonderment at the love in his eyes. He put his hands on my hips, then around my waist, pulling me closer. His hands were freezing, but I felt suddenly warm at his touch. I looked into his eyes, trying to read what he was thinking. My heart was pounding a mile a minute but my mind was at peace.
The space between us was slowly diminishing, I could feel the heat of his breath on my neck. Only inches apart now, I stopped moving, allowing him to make up the few inches between us. He paused, staring at me. I understood his hesitation. True this was what we both wanted, but it would be both of our first times and I knew he would want it to be special.
Slowly his lips met mine, in a very light kiss. Our eyes were still open, looking for a sign of what to do next. I pulled my hands around his neck, entwining my fingers in his brown hair. He moved his hand to my leg, rubbing it slightly. Making a swift move he met our lips again, only this time it being more powerful and wonderful then the first.
I allowed myself to succumb to his powerful kisses, it wasn't hard to do. I quickly allowed him access to my mouth, his very talented tongue dancing with mine. Closing my eyes, I let out a slight moan, enjoying the moment completely.
"Rory...I love you," the growl at the back of his throat suggested he wanted to say the same, but he was too caught up to answer.
He quickly moved us around, placing himself on top of me. He straddled my waist, moving his hands to mine. His kisses started moving from my mouth to my cheek, then down my throat to my neck. He quickly became very interested in the place where my neck and shoulder meet, his lips latched on with no major intent to move. This made me move, the feeling I was getting inside starting to create a ball of warmth in the pit of my stomach. Indistinctively I moved my hips underneath him, causing him to let out a groan into my neck.
"Kyrie..." He said, his body wanting more as it rolled against mine. I moved myself again, only this time on purpose, knowing what it did to him. As we continued to move against each other, my mind went back to the day Sam tried to teach the boys how to dance. I remember wanting to feel Rory's body against mine, have our hips moving in harmony.
Another groan was let out into my neck, and I smiled in satisfaction. His lips moved from the place they had long been to my shoulder, then slowly down my arm. My hands ran up and down his bare back, feeling him tense up underneath my touch. I felt his hands move to the bottom of my shirt, slowly pulling it up and over my head, leaving a trail of kisses behind. My hands wandered to the waistband of his pyjama bottoms, as if to ask for help to take them off. Agreeing silently, he helped me get him out of his bottoms, as he continued to slowly kiss every last bit of me.
Eventually the few pieces of clothes between us were removed. He looked down at me, asking again if I really wanted this. I nodded, tightening my grip around his neck.
"Make love to me Rory," I whispered, staring right into his blue eyes.
"With pleasure Kyrie," he whispered back, his hands on my naked hips as he slowly slid into me. Our bodies fell into a motion we found after getting the pain of him breaking my wall out of the way. Kissing me on the mouth again, he whispered into my neck "I love you Kyrie Hope."
Looking deep into his eyes, in between kisses I whispered back. "And I love you, Rory Flannigan,"
We kept up our pace for an impressive fifteen minutes, Rory's ministrations on my body taking me over the edge countless times. Finally he could hold himself no longer and spilled himself into me, groaning my name as he came. A sheen of sweat covered our bodies as Rory placed one more kiss on my lips before he rolled off of me. Instantly Rory pulled my body back against his, where I fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning I woke up lying on my stomach, cheek resting against my crossed arms, looking at Rory who was lying next to me on his side. He had his head propped up with one arm and the other was drawing shapes on my back. I could feel the warm trail being left on my skin by his finger, heating my now cold skin.
"Your skin is so soft," he whispered, making me smile as his hand glided up and down my back, from where the sheet covered my butt to my shoulders. I felt his hand stop on my lower back and I knew he had found it.
"You have a tattoo?" he asked as his hand lingered on my lower back where I knew my tattoo was.
I smiled. "It's nothing, something I got as soon as I turned sixteen to remind me of my connection to music," I mumbled, my eyes closing again as he kissed the faded blue and purple guitar on my lower back.
"I think it's cute," I could feel him kiss just above the tattoo, lingering there, sucking on the skin there until I could feel a stinging sensation. I shivered and shifted.
"You're gonna leave a mark," I giggled as he moved up my back to my shoulder.
"That's the idea…" he whispered, coming up to kiss me on the lips. I gently rolled over onto my back and pulled the sheet over my chest as the kiss deepened. When we pulled back for air he leaned his forehead against mine and smiled.
"Now I know what they meant in the song All I Wanna Do," I smiled and giggled as I felt Rory's hands creep up my sides. Who knew he would gain such confidence after his first time? It was kind of hot.
Rory and I murmured as Rory pulled the sheet out my hands and kissed down my jaw, past my neck and to my collar bone. I laughed when he licked the skin there. "I love it when you laugh…" he said, pausing at my collar bone. He lay over me, and I was 99.9% sure he could hear my heartbeat, which was breaking speed limits. He sucked on my collar bone until I could feel that stinging feeling on my skin again.
"Hey, that's gonna leave a mark! And I don't want to have to give the others an aneurysm when they ask me about it," I giggled, and his hand glided down my sides again until his hands reached my hips. He sucked on a spot on the side of my neck and I felt it stinging again. Rory continued on and soon I felt Rory's hands on my stomach. I didn't know how long it would take the others to come and get us, but until then I would spend every waking minute with the man I loved until he would have to go back home.
Hope you liked it, a bit long I know but it was probably the most important chapter of the fic.
Review with love!
