This prompt is from BriannaLiz and similarly prompted by ShezzaMezza : I've always wanted (when Pavoratti died) for Kurt to just start rambling about how sad he felt, how he wished he had more time with him, yada yada yada. Then Blaine just kisses him out of the blue to make him shut up. The prompt from ShezzaMezza is a bit different but I had already written this and it worked for her(?) prompt too so I just made them the same.

I can totally see this happening too, especially with the way Blaine acts when he comes in to tell Kurt about the song and tells him to "finish up" decorating Pavoratti's casket. Insensitive much? (that said, it is a bird.) So .. yeah. Author ramble over.

This is my shortest story yet, simply because I think short and sweet is good for this one. Taken from the scene in Original Song straight after Kurt has finished singing Blackbird (which I adored).

A few quick notes:

1. I got some feedback about my writing from Syaoran-Lover about my punctuation not being up to scratch sometimes. If anybody else notices stuff like that, please let me know. It's all stuff I can work on and I probably work best with examples of where I've gone wrong. Just a quick comment on that though, sometimes I do deliberately write run-on sentences when I'm writing dialogue or thought processes because nobody thinks in perfect sentences. I just think it adds a bit of life to the characters sometimes. But yeah, please keep the feedback coming!

2. Quick note for andomawesomeness12 who left a review on my Nightmare story but I know they read this too. I assume by the staircase scene you're referring to the first time Blaine and Kurt meet at Dalton? In which case, it's the episode called 'Never Been Kissed' which is episode 28 in the series and episode 6 in the season which is Season 2. If you want to see the whole video, I recommend MegaVideo, it should still be on there.

3. And another one! I know this is getting really long, sorry :/ but Syaoran-Lover messaged me commenting on my first chapter where Blaine tells Kurt that he loves him when he's drunk, saying: Blaine seemed like a real jerk to tell Kurt that when drunk, so that he wouldn't remember in the morning, and then poor Kurt would have to live with that knowledge and not be able to do much about it! I just have to point out that sober Blaine actually had no idea he felt that way, it was only when he got drunk and let down his guard that he realized how much he loved his friend. It was nothing about Blaine saying it just so he could get away with not remembering, his sober side honestly didn't know. But of course I feel sorry for Kurt too!

Authors note is now almost longer than the story so I'll shut up.

Disclaimer: Insert obligatory comment here.

Pavoratti

Kurt finished his song and wiped the tears from his face dramatically before making his way over to sit next to Blaine. And now Blaine had to try and avoid the fact that there was a gorgeous boy sitting next to him who was emotionally distressed and how had he never realized how beautiful he was? It took all of Blaine's concentration to focus on the rest of the Warbler meeting, which was mercifully short. Apparently after Kurt's impromptu performance, nobody quite had the energy to argue about outfits and Wes quickly called the meeting to a close.

As the other Warblers filed out of the room, Kurt went to the tape player. Blaine lingered behind until the last Warbler had left, then took a step towards Kurt who turned in his direction with a pain-filled smile.

"Are you okay?"

And at this question, the dam burst again.

"Do I look okay, Blaine? No, I'm not okay, I'm grieving. I lost one of my closest companions today, someone who understood me and my passion. Someone who would sing to me no matter what time of day and would listen to my complaints no matter what -"

At this point, Blaine tried to interject because he was there for Kurt too -

"And now he's gone! And now I have a death on my conscience and I don't know what to do about that! It's kind of like I just killed Rachel Berry's talent."

"Kurt, it's o -"

"Don't you tell me it's okay, Blaine Anderson! Pavoratti was one of the only people who noticed my talent around here, the other is the one who constantly overshadows me every single freaking competition!"

To hell with this, Blaine thought to himself. If Kurt wants some recognition and understanding, he's damn well going to get some.

"And I - mmph!"

Blaine stepped forward and attached his mouth to Kurt's.

The kiss was short and sweet, but both boys broke away breathless. On the plus side, Kurt had stopped talking and was looking dazed, one hand gently pressed to his mouth. This allowed Blaine to get a few words in while Kurt recovered.

"I'm sorry for your loss, Kurt, I really am. But it isn't the end of the world. You're allowed to grieve, yes, but don't ever think that you've lost the only one who noticed you. Because I've always noticed you. And it may have taken me a very long time, but I've finally noticed more than just your friendship. I've noticed everything I want in a boyfriend and I hope you feel the same way." Blaine sat down, all of his fight gone. If Kurt rejected him now -

But Kurt was sitting next to him and taking his hand, a sweet smile crossing his face. "Of course I do, idiot." But the words were said without any sting. "I was just waiting for you to wake up and notice. And if it takes a bird dying and me in grief to get your attention, well so be it."

Blaine didn't miss the playful edge to Kurt's smile. "You mean - ?"

"Sure, I'm a bit upset. But he's just a bird, Blaine. I've got more important things to think of."

And before Blaine could complain, Kurt pressed his lips against Blaine's again and any issues he had with his now-boyfriend died in that kiss.

Short and sweet? I think so :)

Personally, I think Kurt's a much stronger person than to be that upset about a bird. Considering the lyrics of that song - "You were only waiting for this moment to be free, blackbird fly." - I'm pretty sure Kurt took his moment to shine and catch the attention of not just Blaine, but the rest of the Warblers. And it sure worked for him, he got a boyfriend and a duet!

Anyway, review and keep prompts coming! :)
