Right so, this story is very different to the previous one. There will be conversation between characters as well as third person, but its 90% inner dialogue.
Inner dialogue will be in italics. Hopefully, everything else will be clear.
Okay, bye.
Kurt Hummel Anderson?
...
Kurt Anderson Hummel?
...
Kurt Elizabeth Devon Anderson Hummel?
...
No. No, that's stupid. Why would I take his middle name?
Maybe when we have kids we could– stop, just stop. He hasn't even said anything yet. So, he knows your coffee order. So, what?
Kurt shakes his head to clear it. Exhaling slowly.
...
Kurt Elizabeth Anderson?
...
Kurt Elizabeth Anderson... huh, that… works.
Kurt smiles proudly to himself as he turns the page in his notebook to finish off his artistic masterpiece: their initials surrounded by a red heart.
K.E.A. Hmm… That has a certain ring to it.
...
"Hey... what you doin'?"
Look at him. Just, look at him. With his lovely face and his lovely smile and his lovely... well we can fix the hair.
"Nothing. Just uh daydreaming. Plotting weekend outfits". Thinking about how perfect our names will look together once we're married, you know the ush.
"Well, come on, you're going to want to see this. I've called an emergency meeting of the Warblers' Council. "
An emergency meeting? Is this what I think it is? "oh, sounds serious."
"Let's hope not. I just need to ask them a tiny little favor."
Is this? … could this be? …
"This emergency meeting is called to order. Junior member Blaine Anderson, the floor is yours."
"Esteemed council, I'll be brief." This is it. THIS. IS. IT.
"Simply put..." Wait for it, just… wait for it.
Blaine looks around the room full of Warblers, before settling his gaze on Kurt. He says the next three words with a smile on his face, and a softness to his voice.
"I'm in love."
I knew it, I knew it!
"I'm not really good at talking about my feelings…" OhmyGod, ohmyGod. OH. MY. GOD. "…singing them. But still, I could…" thank you, thank you deity -I -do -not believe in, thank you. "…why I'm asking to enlist the…" Finally, finally something goes right. "… in song off-campus"
"What?"
"Off-campus?!"
"Are you serious?"
...What?
"I know what I'm asking is slightly unusual."
Unusual yes, but perfect and fantastic and wonderful and YES, YES, YES!
"The Warblers haven't performed in an informal setting since 1927, when…" shut up Wes. He is trying to be romantic here. Let him serenade me wherever he wants. "…and plowed through seven…" I knew when he asked for my 'opinion' on singing to somebody on Valentine's Day, he was just asking to see if I would like the idea. And I love it. I love you.
"Why would we even consider what you're asking?" You too David?
"I firmly believe that our reticence to perform in public nearly cost us a trip to Regionals." That's right Blaine, lay it all out on the line "… We're becoming privileged, porcelain birds perched on a..."
The room erupts in disagreement.
"You mock us, sir." Thad, Really? Can't a boy in love publicly express his feelings?
I can't take this, no - I have – I have to stop them before - I just -
...
"May I please say something?"
The Warblers gather themselves as The Council gives the floor over to Kurt. He stands up.
"With respect, I believe Blaine has a point…"
Kurt begins to express his concern over the lack of spontaneity from The Warblers. Too much focus on their image and tradition rather than stepping out of their comfort zones causes them to miss out on opportunities. He brings up all the different places New Directions have performed. He doesn't mention how romantic it is to actually have someone as incredible as Blaine love you and want to serenade you in public because… well, it hasn't happened… Yet.
"But it... It gave us confidence. It kept us loose."
Kurt gets interrupted by Wes, but he isn't worried. He feels confident that his support has won them over. First the duets, and now a public display of affection. Wait until 'Cedes and Rach hears about this.
"And where would this performance take place? "
"The Gap at the..." The Gap? Huh. That's an… interesting… choice. "…The Warblers' Gap Attack."
"Why the Gap?" Maybe he knows someone who works there? Maybe it turns in to a music lounge after hours?
Blaine looks back at Kurt, excitement in his honey-kissed eyes.
"The guy that I like is a junior manager."
Everything stops.
Everything around him just… stops.
He knows people are talking.
He feels movement besides him, and he's certain he heard the gavel hit once, twice.
But nothing has registered after 'the guy that I like is a junior manager.'
...
No. no, no I didn't, did I?
What about the coffee order?
The flirty duets?
Baby, its cold outside?
"Well, there's this guy that I sort of... like, and I've only known him for a little while, but I want to tell him that I think my feelings are starting to change into something... deeper".
All the smiles?
That wasn't… that wasn't about…
Oh, my God, I made up the whole thing in my head, didn't I?
I can't believe it. I did it again. I did it again. But I was certain this time –
...
"Kurt?"
Kurt looks up at the voice. His knows that voice, he loves that voice. He thought the owner of that voice loved him too.
"Sorry", he says, "I don't know where my head was."
"It's alright. Its just that um the meeting ended a few minutes ago and you haven't moved since, well since my announcement." Blaine looks at him with concern.
"Right. Announcement." He just has to ask. "The Gap, really?"
"Yep" Blaine pops the P as he smiles at Kurt.
Kurt Just continues to look at him, face emotionless.
"Was it a stupid idea?", Blaine starts to panic, smile leaving quicker than it arrived, "I thought it was really romantic and I just – I mean you thought it was a good idea too, right…" Yeah when I thought you were talking about me. "…this is insane, isn't it? Maybe we shouldn't do this..." God, does he have to look like such a sad adorable little puppy. "… I don't know what I'm doing".
Blaine drops himself besides Kurt, head on his shoulders. They remain quiet for a while, the only sound being their breathing.
"You're amazing and he's gunna love you. He'd be a fool not to."
Blaine lifts his head up as Kurt turns to face him.
Damn those eyes.
Bright smiles escaping both their lips; something neither of them have been able to control from the moment they met.
Blaine exhales, jumping up from the couch.
"Let me walk to you class". Blaine reaches for Kurt's hand, and just like the very first time, he takes it as if it were second nature.
Once Kurt is settled in AP English, he opens his notebook.
Mr Kurt E. Anderson
He quickly rips out the page and scrunches it up before putting it safely into his bag.
Kurt Hummel sounds the best anyway.
99% of the dialogue not my own.
Originally written by Ryan Murphy for Season 2 episode 12 of Glee titled "Silly Love Songs".
Kurt's facial expressions before and during these scenes always make me laugh. I know it was sad for him, but he gets the guy in the end, doesn't he?
I welcome positive/constructive criticism so if something didn't work for you, please let me know. This is all new to me, so feedback of any kind is always appreciated.
