Thank you to everybody who has added me on Twitter and Tumblr. Just to let you know, if you add me on Tumblr you might (read: definitely will) get a few stories there before you get them here... or hints of stories... or spoilers... just saying. Links are on my profile for anybody who hasn't checked them out yet. It doesn't take long to make an account for either, and you get to spy on your favourite celebrities on Twitter and look at millions of Glee related photos, drawings, quotes and posts on Tumblr. The benefits are certainly up there =D oh, and my Ask box on Tumblr is open! Hit me up!
Speaking of accounts, I'm considering shutting down anonymous reviews. There's a few reasons for my logic behind this. First, I haven't gotten any flames yet, but any 'trouble' I have gotten has come from anonymous reviewers with only one exception. If someone has an issue with me or my stories and feels the need to tell me about it, I want to be able to reply. Second, sometimes people send me really lovely reviews, or reviews with questions, and I can't respond to these if I don't have an account to reply to. Third, it's not hard to make an account at all, and there's a lot of benefits to that too. You can favourite stories so you can come back to them, build up a community, it might even inspire you to start writing yourself! I haven't made a complete decision yet, so review and let me know what you think, alright?
On that note, Azrael Blood, who posted anonymously, I would love it if you made an account and PM'd me. There's something I really want to ask you.
Me(Anon): Shut up, Blaine, I'm seranading you.
Serenading
Kurt sat on his seat, nervously twisting his hands together. Beside him, Nick's hand was on his shoulder. "It'll be great, Kurt. You've practiced this heaps, after all."
"I know." Kurt took a deep breath, just as Nick's phone buzzed. He checked it and gave Kurt a quick nod.
"Okay." The two jumped to their feet, moving to the middle of the room and waiting. Kurt stood dead centre with Nick behind him to the left. A few seconds passed in nervous anticipation, then the sound of footsteps.
"I don't see why you can't just tell me -"
Jeff appeared at the door, quickly moving across to stand on the other side of Kurt in line with Nick. Blaine followed him, still talking " - what's going on instead of just ... oh. Hey Kurt!"
Kurt smiled at his overexcitable boyfriend but held up a hand as Blaine moved in for a hug. "Nope." He pointed to the couch facing them. "Sit."
Blaine raised an eyebrow, looking unperturbed. "Why?"
"Just sit, would you?" Kurt felt his temper rising and moved to quash it quickly. Luckily Blaine just shrugged and complied, still smiling. Kurt turned to Jeff who nodded. He and Nick began the abridged harmony and Kurt saw Blaine's eyes light up.
"Oh, I love this song!"
Kurt smiled before opening his mouth and beginning to sing.
"No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day,"
Just as he was getting into the song, Blaine opened his mouth again. "Kurt, you didn't have to do this."
Kurt frowned. "I know that," he said simply in the few seconds he had before singing the second verse.
"No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you"
"Kurt, your voice is amazing, you know that?"
Seriously, why won't he shut up? "Thank you, Blaine. Maybe you can just listen to the song now?"
Blaine nodded, settling back a little as Kurt rolled his eyes. Jeff and Nick continued their harmony but Kurt knew they were trying not to laugh as well.
"I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart"
Kurt was staring at Blaine who was smiling back happily. There was silence as Kurt finished the chorus and he allowed himself to relax a little, since Blaine was finally keeping quiet and just letting -
"You know, I always imagined being the one to sing this to you. Not that I don't like you singing it to me, it's really nice. I just saw it the other way. Anyway, continue." Blaine waved a hand. "Don't mind me."
There was a slight interruption behind him as Jeff tried to keep his laughter silent. Kurt shook his head, not sure quite what had gotten into Blaine.
But it continued. Kurt would sing a verse and Blaine would feel obliged to make some kind of strange comment. Whether it actually applied to the song or not didn't seem to matter to him.
"I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart"
"Oh, Kurt, did you finish your history essay by the way? I know it's a weird time to mention it -"
Kurt snapped. Gesturing to the boys to stop, Kurt stormed across the small gap and leant down, his face a few inches from Blaine's. "Seriously, Blaine? I don't know what's going on but shut up, I'm serenading you!" Blaine opened his mouth again as if to reply and Kurt shook his head. There was only one way he knew he could shut Blaine up and he did it without thinking.
Their lips met.
Well, at least he's silent now, Kurt thought to himself, before realizing what was going on. He was kissing Blaine.
Oh.
But Kurt couldn't bring himself to pull away any time soon, because the feeling of Blaine's lips on his - slightly rough and chapped and so very Blaine - was too damn good to stop feeling. The sound of footsteps indicated Jeff and Nick's departure but Kurt really couldn't care less. In fact, that was probably best because it allowed Kurt to sit in Blaine's lap without feeling awkward about it. And Blaine certainly wasn't arguing, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist and kissing him like he was the only person he'd ever wanted to kiss.
Which, Kurt suddenly realized, he was. Blaine's only other kiss had been with Rachel Berry - once drunk, and once when he decided he was completely gay. Kurt belatedly realized that he probably should've asked if Blaine was ready for this, but the way Blaine was responding was certainly an indication that it was fine with him.
And then Kurt realized just why he had started kissing Blaine and pulled away, pushing Blaine back into the couch as he tried to lean in for another kiss. "Now," he said, not quite able to hide his smile, "you are going to shut up while I finish my song - lack of backup be damned - and if you're good, we can do more of that later."
And as Kurt restarted and finished the song, Blaine didn't say another word.
Oh dear...
MusicalEscape:
This is an adorable story to tell all the Klaine children years from now... I can just imagine it... "Daddy, how'd you and Dad get together?"
"Well, remember Uncle Finn?"
"Duh. He tried sending me ice cream for my birthday. It ruined the new Marc Jacobs shirt you bought me!"
"...remind me later to chew him out. Okay, well, Uncle Finn decided to come over and vent about Rachel and Quinn."
"Like, Rachel Finn's wife? And Quinn, Artie's wife?" (don't judge me! I think they're a cute, unusual couple.)
"Yeah. Well, Blaine decided to be jealous of Finn, because at one point I had a crush on Finn."
"That must be awkward."
"Yeah... so Finn accidentally told Blaine tht I liked him, and Blaine kissed me."
"I expected something more romantic, considering your so big on romance."
"Yeah... the next day he felt so guilty about my first real kiss being like that, he showered me with gifts."
"So... to get that Versace shirt I want, I should make him feel guilty?"
"Yup."
