Right, here is the second chapter I promised you as a result of my awful uploading! I know Sectionals has been a long time coming and was actually supposed to be about 4 chapters back, but things kept happening and Wevid were begging for my screen time and then things changed between Kurt and Blaine when Kurt decided to take the next step. I hope you enjoy this chapter and don't struggle reading it or anything. Sorry if you find it sucks. Any comments would be appreciated.

Chapter 29: Sectionals

The bus pulled up outside sectionals at half past eleven, the car park was filled with coaches but Kurt was only looking for one in particular, it took him a little while but eventually he spotted it behind a huge fern tree. They're here. Wes then captured his attention by throwing a plastic cup at his head, so Kurt was now looking at Wes and sending glares at Blaine who was laughing next to him. "When we get in there David and I will go and get the programmes and all of you will head straight to," he checked with his paperwork "to green room 3 to rehearse before we go on stage. Okay?" Kurt watched as a fellow warbler raised his hand a few seats in front of him. He wasn't quite sure who it was, "Yes James" Wes said Giving Kurt his answer. "Can we watch the other performances?" he asked, "Yeah," Dominic went "Can we stop and have lunch and buy sweets before we perform?" Wes looked at them horror struck and Kurt saw David cower in his seat. Kurt followed suit, he slid down a little further in to his seat and blocked out Wes' fit. Blaine did the same and leaned in a little closer to him "I think he needs to start taking anger management classes" Blaine said and he burst into a hushed fit of giggles, Kurt did the same and struggled to laugh quietly.

Once Wes had finished yelling at all the Warblers they all departed the bus, Wes and David went and sorted out their tickets and programs while all the other boys headed straight to Green Room 3. With Wes and David gone Kurt thought this would be the perfect moment to escape. Leaning into Blaine, closer then he should considering they're only friends, and whispered in his ear. "I need to see them and wish them good luck. I won't be too long. I promise." He pulled back and looked at Blaine who looked a little anxious but completely understanding, he nodded and Kurt smiled at him before making his escape.

He had been wondering around the main hall, where there were stalls selling merchandise and sweets. There were a few restaurants, little cafes and a few bars. Which was the last place he would have expected to have seen Rachel, but there she was. Dressed in her outfit already. She was dressed in a nice short black and white sort of tie died dress. It looked really nice and suited her nicely.

She was doing what Rachel does best and yelling at some poor waiter who looked like he was about to run off and hide in his sock draw. "I need the damn candy!" she yelled rather loudly in the poor guys face. Kurt walked over to her and wassmiling as he did so. "Carb loading?" he asked her teasingly as she was yelling at him.. She turned and looked at him with a face full of surprise, she stood there saying nothing so Kurt spoke again "Hi!" he said with a smile and mini wave, this time Rachel threw her arms around him and held on tight. "Kurt I've missed you!" She said into his chest. "Aww Rach I miss you too. So much." he pulled away and then gestured for her to take a seat at the bar they were stood at and he followed suit. "So, how's McKinley?" That was all Rachel needed to launch into a conversation where she was the only one talking. But of course he didn't mind, he loved hearing about all the things his friends were getting up to. Off course the idea made him sad, because he wasn't there but it was nice to hear all the same. She was telling him about Sam and Quinn, everything about Mr Schue and Holly Holliday, Mike and Tina and about Puck's brief stint in Juvey. She didn't mention Finn once and that surprised him.

When she stopped for a breather Kurt took it as an opportunity to speak. "So, how's Finn? He hasn't been returning my texts lately which is unusual for him." He instantly regretted asking the question, Rachel's face turned angry and cold. "I wouldn't know. It seems he and Santana had been romantically involved and he lied about it." Kurt was a little shocked and couldn't stop himself from speaking, the words sort of popped out without his permission. "You didn't know about that?" Before he had even finished his sentence Rachel was already speaking, her Tone cold and angry "You did!" Kurt stuttered, unsure of what to say.

He thought about mentioning sections because he knew he would get a response out of her but Rachel spoke first, changing the topic. "So? How are things with you and Blaine? You've been rather vague in your texts the past few days." Kurt was quiet, unsure of what to say. He wanted to tell her but should he? They haven't even told the Warblers yet. He was thinking of what to say when Rachel spoke again "Kurt, What aren't you telling me?" her tone was now curious and full of excitement. He couldn't stop himself from smiling. She was his best friend, he had to tell her and he wouldn't lie. Not to her, one she would know he was lying and two she was his best friend. He couldn't lie to her. "Did something happen between you two?" Kurt was teasing her now and still didn't reply. Rachel was getting more excited as the seconds passed by. "Are you twotogether?" A huge smile appeared on his face "Since Saturday" he said, his voice shaking with his own excitement at telling his best friend about his boyfriend. A huge smile appeared on her face and she screamed so loud she turned many heads. "Oh My god! Kurt I'm so happy for you!" she was still screaming as she bounced from her seat and threw her arms around Kurt's neck.

Kurt was laughing at her reaction and smiling that she was so pleased but he knew he had to quiet her down. The Warblers didn't know yet, and they couldn't know. He was pretty sure they would all be in the Green Room but he couldn't take the chance. "Rachel, Rachel! Calm down" he said with a giggle. Rachel pulled back and looked at him "Calm down? Why? My baby has got himself a boyfriend!" she was yelling again, "Rach, Sweetie. The Warblers don't know." her face dropped and she looked completely confused "What, why?" she took her seat back at the bar and watched Kurt as he spoke. "We don't want to be a distraction so we are keeping it a secret until Sectionals is over. So I'm trusting you Rachel. Okay? I trust you." Rachel was smiling as she nodded, but there was a glint in her eye that Kurt wasn't sure how to take. "Rachel, you can't tell any of the New Directions okay? Not until I tell you you can. Okay? None of them. I'm serious. We can't have the Warblers find out yet." Rachel nodded again and this time she spoke "I promise. Kurt, I promise. I won't say anything to anyone until you give me the say so but I am so happy for you! Oh I can't believe it!" Kurt rolled his eyes at his best friend who was now screaming again, but Kurt couldn't help but laugh and smile with her.

She threw her arms around him again and held on really tight as she continued to jump up and down, Kurt stood up to make it easier and more comfortable for both of them. Rachel was giggling away into Kurt's neck as she squealed with delight at the news of Kurt's new boyfriend while Kurt just hugged her back and tried to hold in his delight and to not show how happy he really was. They were both a little shocked when they heard a boy speaking to them. "Kurt," Rachel stepped back from Kurt and they both turned to face the voice. Kurt knew it was Blaine but Rachel could only guess. The blush that appeared on his face could be a huge give away though. "Wes is freaking out. He thinks you've been eaten" Blaine said chuckling. Rachel was moving up and down on the spot and kept nudging Kurt in the side, irritating him into introducing them. "Honestly he is loosing it, I mean I hate to pull you away but we need you in the Green Room." Kurt saw Blaine eyeing Rachel and was a little nervous, wondering what he was going to do when he stuck out his hand in her direction "Hi, I'm Blaine. You must be Rachel" he gave her one of his most charming smiles and Kurt's heart melted at both the smile and the fact that Blaine was making an effort to build a relationship with his best friend.

After a while Rachel didn't respond, he looked at her staring at Blaine with a sort of scrutiny as if she was assessing him. Blaine was smiling and looking slightly uncomfortable but trying not to show it. She reached out and shook his hand and smiled, "Hi! You better look after Kurt, he's been through so much and he deserves to be happy. Do you understand?" Blaine smiled at her, looked at Kurt briefly before returning his gaze back to Rachel smiling softly "I promise I will never do anything to hurt him Rachel, it's a promise I will make not only with you and the rest of New Directions, but with myself." He spoke with so much sincerity it was hard not to believe.

Kurt stood there his mouth open in shock. He couldn't believe that was the first thing she said to him. "Rachel!" he half whined, Blaine just looked at him and laughed, he couldn't understand how Blaine was being so calm. "What Kurt? You deserve to be treated right and I was just making sure that Blaine will treat you right, it's what you deserve." she spoke in a tone that suggested she couldn't understand what Kurt's problem was, In her mind she was doing the right thing. She turned back to Blaine "Now, I've heard so much about you and it's so nice to finally meet you, but if you ever do Anything to hurt or upset Kurt, both of my dads are gay and I have connections. Are we clear?" her tone was serious yet light, Blaine smiled at her and tried to stop himself from laughing in this serious situation and resulted in nodding rather then risk speaking and breaking out into a fit of giggles Kurt stood there frozen, unable to believe where this conversation had ended up. "I understand" Blaine said smiling once he'd pulled himself together.

After a few awkward seconds a huge smile appeared on Rachel's face "I approve!" she squeaked as she threw her arms around Blaine "He's perfect!" Kurt was completely shocked but extremely happy when Blaine hugged Rachel back and they started laughing. It was such a beautiful moment to see his two best friends getting along. After a few seconds Rachel grabbed Kurt and pulled him into the hug. He had one arm around Rachel and the other around Blaine, squeezing his back ever so slightly. Blaine responded by squeezing back. "I am so happy for you two! You're going to he so happy together. I just know it!" she exclaimed into their chests before they all pulled out of the embrace. Blaine and Rachel had huge smiles on their faces, as did Kurt along with the smallest blush. He was so happy in this moment he could cry. He felt so overwhelmed with emotion, he wasn't sure what to do or say.

"Kurt, I really think we should get back to the green room. Wes has probably attacked half of the team already." he said with a light chuckle. Kurt smiled and nodded, he turned to hug Rachel. "Good Luck Sweetie. I know you'll all be amazing. I'll miss you" he said pulling away and walking towards Blaine, who put a comforting hand on his back which caused Rachel to go 'Awww' which caused them both to blush. "Goodbye Rachel it was nice meeting you" Blaine said to Rachel and smiled, the blush still evident on his cheeks. "You too Blaine. I'll see you again soon" she smiled and winked. "Good luck boys. Even though you stand no chance of winning!" she said cheekily before sticking out her tongue and leaving. Both boys turned and headed back to the green room side by side.

Kurt wasn't sure what to say, he felt rather guilty for putting Blaine in that situation. Well, he knew it wasn't exactly his fault, but if he hadn't told Rachel then she would never have put him on the spot like that. He wasn't sure how to bring it up so he thought he'd start with an apology "Blaine, I'm so sorry! I know I shouldn't have told her, but she's my best friend and I couldn't lie to her and she had no right to do that to you. I'm so sorry!" Blaine responded by simply laughing. Kurt laughed too, slightly confused as to why Blaine was laughing and not angry. "Kurt, it's fine. I thought Rachel already knew, and she seems really nice" he looked at him and smiled, before he led Kurt around a corner. "I love how much she cares about you. You seem to have some of the most amazing friends, I look forward to meeting the rest of them" his voice was soft and light.

Kurt smiled as Blaine talked about his friends but before he could say anything, they'd just walked through the door to Green Room 3. "KURT!" Wes yelled, "You found him alive?" he aid to Blaine who nodded with a faint smile on his face before he directed his anger back at Kurt "Where HAVE you BEEN?" All heads turned to look at him and he blushed and felt extremely uncomfortable being the centre of attention. He stood there, his eyes darting around the room unsure of what to say. He couldn't tell them he went to visit their competition, Wes would actually kill him. "Umm.." he hated all eyes on him, he should lie, but he couldn't! He let out a small sigh and decided on the truth, minus a few details. "I bumped into an old friend and we got talking and time just ran away I guess. I''m really sorry." Wes glared at him but just waved a hand in his direction and then went back to talking about the dance routine for Hey Soul Sister. Blaine and Kurt shared a relieved look before they took a seat on the sofa and started talking about the performance.

The Warblers had drawn performance slot number two; and the New Directions had drawn Performance Slot number tree. He knew Rachel wouldn't be to happy with that, but he had to stop thinking about his friends. He had his own team to think about now. They spent about forty minutes going over and over their performances and Kurt was actually getting bored of it. How hard was it to remember, step, step, side step, click. Seriously? If they didn't get it by now, how were they ever. Why wouldn't Wes just let them take a break for a while and check out the competition. Everyone was just taking a breather when the green light came on above the door informing them they were expected on stage in fifteen minutes.

Most of the Warblers were talking and laughing with excitement as they listened to Wes' instructions. "Right, everybody remember their positions. Remember all of your steps and harmonies. Remember we can do this. We have practiced and practiced and we can win this." He lost his formal edge and stated to sort of panic "You can not screw this up! We need to win this! Okay? We can win this and get to go through to Regionals. We will be at Nationals this year, okay!" Everyone nodded and cheered in agreement "We will win this! Now come on everyone, let's go!" Everyone cheered as they all made there way back stage.

They positioned themselves on stage in their given position and Kurt was starting to get nervous. He was only background throughout the entire performance but he was still so nervous. Jeff was on first with his version of Uptown Girl, the original. It was an old song and he had to practically beg Wes to allow him to perform it. It was then to be followed by Nick's version of Fool Again sung by Westlife. and lastly would be Blaine's version of Hey Soul Sister. He was looking forward to that because Blaine was born to lead, not to be a part of the background. No matter how much it annoyed him to be a part of the background, and how Blaine seemed to always get leads it was where he belonged. Blaine was born to stand out. He was stood to the left of the formation in the front row, Blaine was his equal on the right.

Throughout the first two numbers Kurt tried to keep a smile on his face but he was struggling. He couldn't help but feel like he was betraying his friends. He could see them sat in the audience and smiling, being supportive but he couldn't help but feel bad. He had to be honest, he hated being in the background. When he was a part of New Directions, they appreciated his individuality and his voice. Here, being with the Warblers they wanted him to blend in, to help make the team. He understood it, but that doesn't mean he was happy with being in the background. Every now and then he kept sneaking quick looks at Blaine who had the biggest smile on his face as he did his side steps. Kurt smiled to himself at how adorable he looked when performing, even when he was just in the background.

The curtains came down after the first two numbers so the boys could re arrange and have a quick breather before their final performance. They were stood in a triangular formation with Blaine at the point and Kurt being in the row behind with three other boys. Blaine started to sing and Kurt was awe struck. His voice sounded perfect, it was amazing. It was almost like Kurt had never heard him sing this song before because he had, several times. It's just, hearing him perform with so much energy on stage, in front of an audience, it was magical. Again, Kurt found it hard keeping the smile on his face, he missed being a part of New Directions. He missed The energetic dance routines and being himself.

He looked over to where the New Directions were sat and saw Rachel make a gesture at him telling him to smile, which of course he did. And he tried extremely hard to keep it there by thinking about how his boyfriend was doing brilliantly, about how his two best friends had accepted each other. Kurt watched as Blaine did all his little jump steps in front of the audience and the smile that appeared on his face wasn't forced. No matter how much he hated being back up. It was an honor to be performing with Blaine. When the song came to an end and everyone applauded Blaine looked over to Kurt and smiled before heading over to give him a hug as the curtain came down. The two remained in a rather tiger embrace until Kurt pulled back and smiled at him "You were amazing Blaine. Amazing." the two smiled at each other, both forgetting that to The Warblers they were only friends. Fortunately Wes and David ran over and pounced on Blaine praising him and telling him how amazing he was as they all walked off stage and made their way to the seats that were once occupied by The New Directions.

Kurt of course sat next to Blaine and they waited for the lights to go down and the performance to start. He was really looking forward to seeing his friends shine and wondered who was Going to be singing when Rachel wasn't. He heard the music before he heard the voices and was surprised when he heard Sam and Quinn singing the classic 'Time of my Life' from the amazing film Dirty Dancing. He had to admit, they sounded pretty good together although her voice seemed to get drowned out occasionally by Sam's but there was no denying they sounded amazing together. They appeared from the back and walked through the crowd, just like Rachel did last year. Mr Schue was sticking to his old tricks, Kurt shook his head and smiled to himself, he really needed to learn some new ones. Once they had reached the stage the curtain lifted revealing the rest of the New Directions in back up. It was obvious to the entire audience that Sam and Quinn were dating, they just had some sort of chemistry. The entire group had smiles on their faces, and Kurt was surprised to see Lauren Zises stood on stage in the back row, swaying to the music. He was shocked to see that he had replaced when he was sure she couldn't sing, but who was he too judge.

When the song came to a close, they stepped back into formation and Mercedes' and Tina stepped forward and sang their version of Dog Days are Over and Kurt was amazed. The song was amazing, their voices sounded amazing and they performed amazing together. They had put together an amazing dance routine and they transferred from that song into Santana singing Valerie which was outstanding. Santana's voice took Kurt's breath away, she sounded absolutely amazing. He smiled as he watched his friends dance away and was gutted to not be apart of it. To not be up there with them, don't get me wrong he loved being a part of The Warblers but he missed their energy. He watched them and couldn't stop smiling. They all had huge smiles on their faces as they danced their way around the stage. He was so proud of his friends and their performance. It had been absolutely amazing.

Kurt knew that there was a possibility that The Warblers could actually lose, the new directions were that good. The worst thing was that Kurt wouldn't mind if they lost because a worthy team would have won. Santana finished the song and they all jumped and hugged each other smiling, Kurt stood to applause as did the rest of the Warblers which surprised him. Rachel blew him a kiss before they all disappeared off of the stage. The curtain fell and they all stood to make there way backstage to hear the results.

Kurt and Blaine walked side by side behind everyone else in silence. Kurt was listening to his fellow Warblers talk about how good the New Directions were but were picking out faults with the performance while Blaine was listening but watching Kurt, watching to see how he would take what they were saying. Kurt felt his eyes on him and turned to smile at him "Are you okay Kurt?" Blaine asked, his voice soft and gentle, Kurt simply replied by smiling and nodding once "I'm fine" was all he said as they reached the stage. The Warblers had positioned themselves on the right hand side while The New Directions were on the left With the other group in the middle. Blaine was at the front with Wes, David and Thad while Kurt was stood just behind Blaine his hand resting ever so lightly on his back. Kurt looked over to where his friends were standing. He saw Rachel, Mercedes' and Finn all looking his way, waving and smiling broadly.

Then out came the judge. Kurt was shaking violently, he was so nervous. He couldn't win and the New Directions lose! How would that be fair? He needed a draw! He really did, he took his hand from Blaine's back and shoved them in his pockets, he didn't want Blaine to notice how nervous he was. The judge took his time revealing who won, drawing it out as long as possible Kurt wanted to beat the answer out of him, he was that nervous. Once he had revealed third place the other team left to the right hand side of the stage, leaving the two remaining teams on stage. Kurt looked over to Rachel and smiled nervously before his gaze returned to the judge. Then the judge revealed it was a draw between New Directions and The Dalton Warblers.

To begin with Kurt couldn't believe what he was hearing. Applause irrupted everywhere and the next thing he knew Blaine had his arms wrapped around him, as did Wes and David. Once they let go Rachel and Mercedes' ran over and enveloped him in a hug. Then he looked around to see The New Directions and The Warblers hugging, talking and congratulating each other. It was a beautiful site that Kurt hadn't expected to see.

Once everyone had congratulated each other and Kurt had managed to say a quick hello to all of his friends both teams went their separate ways. The Warblers leaving to the right, the New Directions to the left. When they were just off stage, and away from the audience's glare Blaine turned to Kurt and smiled "We're going to Regionals." he said trying to be composed. Kurt smiled and yelled "We're going to regionals!" Blaine wrapped him up in a hug again and he did something then that Kurt wasn't expecting. Blaine leaned back and planted a hard, longing kiss on Kurt's lips in front of the rest or the Warblers. In the back of his mind he knew this wasn't the right way to tell their fellow Warblers but he was filled with too much want and passion to care. He brought one of his hands up to Blaine's face, while the other was in his hair: Blaine had one hand cupping Kurt's face the other holding tightly on to his waist as the kiss grew more passionate. Kurt could hear the gasps, 'Oh My God's' and squeals of delight from everyone and no matter how much he tried, he couldn't stop himself from laughing. Which of course ruined the moment as it caused Blaine to pull back and smile before he too started to laugh.

The boys had been right to hold off telling The Warblers until after sectionals. The response to their kiss was insane! The entire bus journey home had turned into some sort of 'Kurt and Blaine finally got together let's celebrate!' party. Minus the food and drink of course. Everyone was over the moon with this news, they all kept asking questions and wanted to hear the story of how they finally get together. Who made the first move, what made them take the first step, blah blah blah. A few of the Warblers complained about the timing because they lost the bet and had to give their thirty dollars to David, but even they were happy to hear they were now an item. Eventually Blaine told the story of how they got together while Kurt rested against blushing at hearing people comment on the story, about how brave he was and how beautiful the moment sounded. It surprised Kurt how happy everyone was that they had finally got together and how interested they all seemed to be in their relationship. It seemed like their relationship status had been conversation amongst The Warblers since he had transferred and it made Kurt smile to think that there was evidence from both him and Blaine that showed interested. It also proved that Kurt wasn't reading Blaine wrong and that everything he thought he'd heard him say or imply was the truth.

When the joy of their relationship status and their draw at regionals had sort of worn off and the bus had quieted down Kurt rested his head on Blaine's shoulder and closed his eyes. He had had a good day and they'd be back at Dalton soon, but he was absolutely shattered. He felt Blaine lean his head on top of his and he smiled to himself.

He had won Sectionals and so had New Directions and he no longer had to lie to his friends. His two Best Friends seemed to get along and the Warblers and New Directions had had their first official meeting and it seemed to go down well. The mixing of his friends at Dalton and his friends at McKinley never occurred to him but it looked like there would be some huge get togethers in the upcoming months!

Kurt was looking forward to the rest of the year, and hopefully he would get the opportunity to perform a solo at regionals. He knew he wouldn't bank on it, but one can ways wish right. He was lucky enough to have Blaine as his boyfriend so maybe he'd get lucky again. Who knew?

He was woken up gently by Blaine when they arrived back at Dalton. It was only half past 9 but everyone was shattered. Blaine had his arm around Kurt supporting all his wait as they traipsed back up to their dorms. Once in Kurt's dorm Blaine helped him get out of his uniform, he was half asleep as they did it. Kurt had put a tee shirt underneath his shirt this morning so Kurt took off his blazer while Blaine Fiddled with the buttons on his shirt. Kurt kicked off his shoes, and grabbed his pajama bottoms from under his pillow as Blaine went to leave "Won't," Kurt said but broke off into a yawn "won't you stay?" Kurt rubbed at his eyes and thought Blaine would say no as he still hadn't responded "I'll come back. I promise" Kurt looked at him and smiled "'Kay!" before he made his way to the bathroom and changed. Once he'd fumbled his way into his pajama bottoms he made his way back to his bed and crawled under the covers, making himself comfy.

He'd almost forgotten in his sleepy haze that he'd asked Blaine to come back when he walked through the door, "Kurt?" Blaine asked gingerly, checking to see if he was still awake "Mmm?" was all Kurt could say as he cuddled up into his pillow. "Are you sure you want me to stay? I can go.." Although Kurt was half asleep he could still sense the note of sadness and panic in his voice. As if he was afraid he would ask him to leave. Kurt turned himself over in his bed and sat up, he looked at Blaine who was stood at the end of his bed looking nervous. Kurt smiled at him "Of course I want you to stay" he said sleepily as he patted to the space next to him on the bed. Blaine made his way over to the bed and crawled in under the covers, resting next to Kurt. There was a slight awkwardness between the two, he knew they'd slept in the same bed before, but this time it was different. They weren't just friends anymore. Kurt looked at Blaine and smiled, who returned with a smile of his own. Blaine shifted closer to him and put his arm around Kurt, pulling him closer, feeling more confident. Kurt rested his head on Blaine's chest while his hand rested on top of Blaine's on top of the mattress.

Kurt felt content and fell asleep in Blaine's arms instantly. Blaine remained awake for a while, watching his boyfriend sleep and playing with his hair before he too drifted into unconsciousness.

Blaine and Kurt were finally together, and breaking a lot of school rules I might add. They had just won sectionals alongside his friends at McKinley and he was lucky enough to have two sets of amazing friends. Life was good. Things were definitely looking better with McKinley High and Karofsky out of the picture.


Right, next chapter, next chapter. As of the moment I am not sure where I am going to go.

I am writing this for the enjoyment of reading and would love to hear where you thing the characters could go.

Thank you for sticking with me and I hope you're enjoying the story :)
