Sigh. Prompts are CLOSED. I hate getting annoyed but they are, guys. Those of you who already know are probably rolling their eyes and going 'we get the picture' but I'm still getting prompts every couple of days and guys, it's just irritating. I'm sorry but it is. Hopefully people will read this and realize.
So... uhm... I have Tumblr, as you all probably know. Last night I messaged someone on Tumblr who turned out to be a fan and got a flailing response. This isn't the first time this has happened either. So out of sheer curiosity (and to try and prove the point that I'm not a celebrity) I made a post saying ' like this post if you'd freak out if I messaged you/talked to you.' I got eight likes in the first five minutes and its currently sitting on 26 likes. Guys, what is this? I'm just a person...
Oh, and to those of you waiting on Edge of Glory, funny story. Angela and I had an entire day free for us to work on it today so we sat down, nailed out all the details and I set to work writing my piece which, until it's done, means Angela can't write hers. I got two paragraphs in and work called, sending me off to a different store for seven hours. Naturally when I got home, Angela was asleep and she's at school tomorrow BUT because of the time difference, I should be waking up when she's getting home so we should have a few hours tomorrow to get it all sorted out. I really really hope. I'm so sorry, guys, but I can't turn down work. But we're both dying to get this chapter written because this chapter has been in our minds since we sat down the very first time to talk about this collab.
From Botherer 1337: After getting frustrated with all of the jokes the warblers make about Kurt and Blaine not getting together, they kiss, meaning it as a joke. Of course, it doesn't end that way...
Not so much a joke... but they're certainly frustrated!
So I have a guilty pleasure. I love 'Five and One' fics. So much. If they're done well, I adore them to shreds. In fact, I read one called Furt Hudmel almost killed Klaine Anummel and I loved it way too much for a concept I usually hate. Go read it, please! So I thought I'd start incorporating a few into prompts where I can make them work. There's two more coming up in the next few days as well, so apologies if you don't like them...
Frustration
Five Times Kurt And Blaine Denied The Rumors, And The One Time They Started Their Own
1.
"... I just think you should consider giving the solo to somebody else."
Blaine waited for a few seconds, then sighed. He leant across the table and pushed Wes's jaw back into place. "Seriously, it's not that big an ask is it?"
Wes shook his head as if trying to work out what was going on. "This is the first time we've ever had a Warbler tell us he didn't want a solo." He narrowed his eyebrows. "What's this about, Blaine?"
"I just think it's not fair that all the other talented singers in the group don't get a chance to sing up front." Blaine shrugged. It was the truth after all, there was at least one other Warbler who he thought was due his fair share of solos. Speaking of which...
"Sorry to interrupt, guys." Kurt walked up looking apologetic and Blaine smiled reassuringly. "Blaine, we're still going for coffee this afternoon?"
"If that's still okay with you?"
Kurt nodded. "Of course. I'll meet you after our last class outside." The boy waved and turned to walk away. Blaine watched him go for a moment, then turned back to Wes who was smirking.
"You're whipped."
Blaine frowned. "We're not dating, Wes. How can I be whipped?"
Wes rolled his eyes. "You can stop pretending, Blaine. I know you're both private people but we all know -"
"No, I'm serious. Kurt and I are just friends." As much as I might want to be more, he added silently.
Wes just laughed. "That's what you two think. The rest of us know you're dating, we're just waiting for you two to realize." He stood, grabbing his bag. "I'll talk about solos with the rest of the council, but there will still be an audition process if we do decide to open it up. We aren't just going to give Kurt solos, no matter how much it might help you two get your acts together."
Blaine shook his head as his friend walked away. We don't act like we're dating, do we?
2.
"Same time next week?"
Kurt smiled, fiddling with the strap of his bag. "Absolutely. See you tomorrow."
Blaine gave a half-wave before turning to walk down towards his dorm room. Kurt allowed himself a moment to watch his friend - strictly 'friend', we're just friends - walk away before opening the door to his room, smiling.
"So."
Kurt jumped, clutching at his chest. "Jeff, don't do that! I thought you and Nick were going out tonight."
Jeff smirked, resting back on his elbows languidly. "We did. Meaning we've already been and gotten back. You and Blaine are the only ones who manage to make your dates last for five hours."
"We went to see a movie, that takes longer than a normal - we're not dating!"
"Uhuh." Jeff pulled himself up, heading towards the bathroom. "Suuuure you're not."
Kurt began to retort, but Jeff shut the door on him. He huffed, falling back on his bed and dropping his bag beside it. Blaine and I aren't dating. That's something I'd know about. When Jeff appeared back out of the bathroom a few minutes later, Kurt immediately picked back up where they had left off. "Blaine and I are not dating."
"Alright, Kurt. That's what you two think." Jeff flicked the light switch off, yawning as he made his way to his bed. "Can't wait for the day you two get your acts together though."
Kurt sighed. Yeah... like that's going to happen. Blaine totally doesn't see me that way.
3.
"... so then she literally had to ask him out!"
The group of boys laughed as David finished his story. Blaine shook his head, smiling slightly as he copied notes from Kurt's history book that he had missed when he was out sick last week. Kurt's back was leaning against his shoulder, his legs kicked over the edge of the couch.
"I mean, they're almost as bad as Kurt and Blaine."
Blaine paused, lifting his pen off the page and looking up. Kurt sighed wearily. "For the last time, David, we're not dating."
"Wait, they do that to you too?"
Kurt turned to look at him, nodding. "Oh, don't tell me they've been pulling this one on you as well? I mean, seriously, how far can you take a joke?"
"I know, it's like they don't have a life of their own!" Blaine put down the pen, turning fully towards Kurt. "Have they gotten on your case about us always going for coffee as well?"
"Yes! It's ridiculous isn't it?"
David groaned loudly, effectively interrupting their conversation. "Are you serious? We've given them another thing to bond over."
As the Warblers began to complain, Blaine shook his head and smiled at Kurt. At least we can bond... even if it's over the fact that he'll never feel the way about me that I feel about him.

"For our next point of business, we're wanting to incorporate duets into our usual practice performances."
Kurt grinned, clapping his hands together. "I love the sound of this," he whispered to Blaine who was also smiling.
"So, first up we want Kurt and Blaine to work on All I Know Of Love, and we'll go from -"
"Wait."
Blaine stood, holding up a hand. "Why that song, Wes?"
Kurt suddenly realized what he was getting at and stood as well. "Yes. It is an interesting choice, care to enlighten us why we're singing in a style we've never done before, as well as incorporating duets for the first time?"
Wes coughed, suddenly looking very interested in his papers. Kurt swapped an exasperated glance with Blaine. "Look, we're happy to do duets - I presume. Sorry, are you happy with that?" Kurt nodded, ignoring the chuckling around the room and murmurs about 'old married couple already.' "So we're happy with that, just not with duets that are clearly chosen with the sole purpose of making us get together."
"You're already together," David muttered.
"Oh, would you stop it?" Kurt sighed, sitting back down. "I'm pulling out of this duet."
He ignored the fresh murmurs echoing around the room, but didn't quite ignore the way Blaine sat down next to him, putting a hand on his knee. After all, it wasn't that he didn't want to sing duets with Blaine, or even that he didn't want romantic duets. He just didn't want to delude himself into thinking that there could ever be more between himself and Blaine.

Blaine slammed the door open, staring at his roommate angrily. "Are you serious right now?"
Thad looked up from his textbook, clearly hiding a smile. "I'm always serious, Blaine. What's wrong with that?"
"How many students? That's all I ask, how many?"
Thad pretended to count on his fingers, smirking. Blaine picked up a textbook and threw it at him. "Ow! Okay, okay. Probably about thirty myself, then I got them to spread the word."
Blaine shook his head, sitting down on his bed. "Yes, you did. I got asked probably about fifty times, Thad. By people I don't even know mostly."
Thad began to laugh and Blaine raised another textbook threateningly. "Sorry, man. I just didn't think that would work! I wonder how many Kurt got..." Thad picked up his phone, hitting a speed dial number. "Hey man, Blaine's just stormed in - oh, he has too? Great, how many?" After a moment of silence, Thad lost it again. "That's brilliant!" he choked out. "Blaine only got fifty!"
"How many did Kurt get?"
Thad glanced up. "Closer to eighty."
Blaine shook his head before feeling his phone buzz.
I assume you had the same ordeal judging by the phone call I'm pretending I can't hear David having with Thad? - Kurt
I did, apparently you had it worse though. I can't believe they tried to tell every student in the school to ask us whether we're dating or not! - Blaine
They clearly have too much time on their hands. Coffee this afternoon? - Kurt
I'd love to. Meet you downstairs in ten. - Blaine

"So, Kurt, Blaine."
Kurt sighed as he and Blaine walked through the front doors, only to be met with the smirking faces of Wes and David. "How can we help you this time," he muttered through gritted teeth.
"No need for the attitude." David raised his hands innocently. "We just wanted to see how tonight's date was. Did we make it to first base yet?"
"David, quit it," Blaine all but growled at the boy. "We've told you a million times already, they're not dates. We're friends." Kurt nodded his agreement. Yes, as much as he wanted to be more than just friends, right now they weren't and it really did get on their nerves, especially when the two boys wouldn't stop smirking.
Wes raised an eyebrow. "Come on, guys. Will you just wake up already? Admit it to each other and yourselves, if you're not already dating then you really do want to be."
"And I don't know how you're not dating since you seem to do everything but make out. And even if you did that you'd probably manage to make it platonic." David folded his arms as Wes nodded. "Seriously, if there's a way you can convince us that you're not dating, you might want to -"
"Oh, for goodness sake!"
Kurt whirled around, grabbed Blaine and kissed him. He broke away a second later and turned back to Wes. "See, we can do that and we're n-"
Kurt froze. A second later, he turned back to Blaine who was staring at him, mouth open. And then they were closing the gap again, kissing furiously, not even caring about the two boys who were whooping and exchanging high fives. They couldn't bring themselves to care that all of the Warblers were going to give them hell for this, that bets had probably been made on them, that they would be the source for all teasing for the next few months. All that mattered was each other.
Blaine pulled away just long enough to whisper, "Why have we not been doing this forever?" before connecting their lips like it was oxygen. Kurt felt the same, his arms snaking around Blaine's neck to try and tug the boy closer, even if it wasn't physically possible. All of their denial about dating, and this was what they had been missing out on?
"If I'd known, I would have given up my pride long ago," Kurt murmured against his lips before finally pulling away. Blaine made a little murmur of disappointment as he did. "But seriously, all that stuff about being friends? You didn't want to be either?"
"I never honestly thought you felt the same. And when you were so determined that people not get the wrong idea about us -"
"Only because I didn't want you to think I had some ulterior motive to being your friend."
Kurt and Blaine stared at each other for a moment before both cracking up in laughter. "We're ridiculous," Kurt whispered when he had finally gotten himself under control. "We're ridiculous and naive and blind."
"But we have each other now." At those words, Kurt leaned down to kiss Blaine again, trying to work out how on earth they had gone this long without doing this.
A cough pulled them apart, turning to face the staircase with identical glares. "Yes, yes, we get it. You two have made your point. Leave us alone now."
Wes turned to David, smirking. "Shouldn't we regale them with our victory song first?"
Kurt grabbed Blaine's hand and ran, tugging the other boy up the stairs with him to the laughter of their friends. As they reached the top, Wes called after them, "Seriously though, we're really happy to see you two together."
"Yeah, and any thank you gifts can come in the form of chocolate. I love chocolate!"
Hands up if you want to hear Wavid's victory song! *raises both hands*
