Stupid site wiped my initial AN. I'm exhausted so can't be bothered retyping the whole thing. Basically I've had a few people want Rock as a oneshot for reccing purposes. I will consider it when I'm not so blah.
From getmeoutofthistie: a chemistry klaine fic, where Blaine is being all dorky-adorable and babbling on about science while kurt sits there doodling and then spells out klaine. Or vice versa.
Studying for Chem and figuring out all the awesome things you can spell with the Periodic Table for the win? I think so :) me and my friends did this all the time. And I'm taking any work they actually get done (so... not much) from the stuff I studied in my Senior year of Chemistry. I got a HA10 (high B+ for those who don't speak Australian System) and I ranked 7th so I have a little bit of knowledge. I don't claim it to be right though.
This is another one of those deja vu stories for me but I'm pretty sure it's just because I wrote it ages in advance.
Chemistry
The room was a hubbub of noise, something Kurt was well used to from his time at McKinley where nobody paid attention during class. However, it was another thing altogether to see all the formal looking Dalton boys sprawled around talking in the middle of class time, instead of sitting quietly and paying attention. In fact, it was one of the times that Kurt stopped developing his conspiracy theory that the Warblers were all robots and he was a Truman-esque character in a world developed completely for him.
That said, if the world had been completely made for him, they had certainly gotten his boyfriend right. Because said boyfriend was currently sitting next to him, looking gorgeous even as he was chewing lightly on the end of a pencil as he attempted to work on a Chemistry revision question. The same question that Kurt should have been working on...
Sighing, Kurt picked up his pencil and attempted to get back to work. Honestly though, he thought to himself as he began to doodle idly in the margin of his page, who really wants to know about combustion reactions in alkenes anyway?
"Lots of hard work going on there, I see?"
Kurt looked up guiltily to see Blaine smirking lightly at him. "My apologies for not being a complete Chem nerd like you," he bantered back.
Blaine nudged him. "Touche," he said, leaning over to get a better look at Kurt's page. "But I don't think drawing pictures of cats is going to help you ace the exam. Very well drawn, by the way."
"Shut up." Sighing, Kurt leant over to look at the textbook. "I don't even know what a combustion reaction is."
Bad move. Blaine's eyes lit up and he immediately began to explain. Kurt attempted to concentrate, but found himself zoning out almost instantly, focusing solely on Blaine's lips as they moved. Blaine's lips, which had been a huge distraction to Kurt over the past few days, especially since Kurt had just realized how much he wanted those lips against his own. Not something he would ever happily admit to his boyfriend - at least not in those words - but distracting nonetheless.
"So then you look at your Periodic Table." Blaine grabbed the cardboard sheet, pulling it between them. "And you find the molecular mass of Carbon which is -"
"Which one's Carbon again?"
Blaine appeared to be resisting the urge to sigh. "This one. The C, remember?"
Kurt nodded. "Right, one of the few that make sense."
"I - which ones don't make sense, Kurt?"
Now Blaine seemed to be trying not to laugh, but damn it, Kurt had a point to make. "Where's the K in Potassium, exactly? Sodium should be S, not Na, and ... what does Y stand for again?"
"Yttrium?"
Kurt blinked. "Is that even a word? Okay, so that one makes sense, but a lot of these are labelled wrong, you have to admit." He stared at the chart for a few more seconds, then frowned. "Blaine, is every letter in the alphabet on here?"
"Um, I can't say I've ever looked, to be -"
"I'm going to find out." Ignoring Blaine's amused sigh, Kurt immediately began to pour over the chart, searching for all of the letters of the alphabet. A few minutes later, he reported back, interrupting Blaine's study again. "There's no J or Q. And W for Tungsten? Really, Blaine?"
"Hey, you say it like I wrote the thing!" Blaine shook his head, still staring down at his exercise book determinedly. "And if you're going to want to steal my answers later, at least let me get the work done, okay?"
Kurt huffed, but was distracted by the Periodic Table again instantly. I wonder what kind of words you can spell on this thing...
Ten minutes later and Kurt saw Blaine put down his pencil out of the corner of his eye, peering over to his own page which was now covered in words. "I know you haven't been doing work."
Still staring at the chart, Kurt made a slight murmur of dissent as he pushed his book over to Blaine. After reading for a few seconds, Blaine snorted and pushed it back. "Seriously, Kurt?"
"It's fun!" Kurt glanced down at his page, reading through the words he currently had.

Blaine shook his head, chuckling slightly. "You do realize you can't spell?"
Kurt pouted, mock-glaring at his boyfriend who was smirking. "Hey, you try and do better! I think I did very well with what I have! I just can't make my name..."
Blaine glanced over the list again, humming lightly to himself before frowning. "I see I'm not on there."
Kurt's eyes widened. "I can fix that, don't worry!" Hunching over the chart, Kurt quickly pieced together Blaine's name before showing it to him triumphantly. "There, easy!"
Blaine looked at the word - BLaINe-, smiling. "Boron, Lanthanum, Iodine and Neon. That almost makes... no, you'd need to change the Boron to -"
Blaine dropped his pen, staring at the page. The bell rang and the rest of the students began to pack up, but Blaine took no notice. "Blaine?" Kurt asked, trying to see what he was looking at. "What's wrong?"
"I - change Boron to Potassium."
Frowning, Kurt took back the piece of paper and looked up Potassium. "K," he murmured, scribbling down the new word as the last of the students left the room. "Okay, so now instead of Blaine we have... Klaine?"
"Think about it."
It only took Kurt a second to realize. "Our couple name," he murmured quietly, staring up at Blaine and smiling. "That's ... well, I'd say it's romantic, but considering it's Chemistry, there's a limit. Let's just go with cute. So why did that shock you so much, O Chem Nerd of mine?"
Blaine was still looking stunned. "Potassium, Lanthanum, Iodine and Neon. The reactivity of those elements together, especially the Potassium..."
"What is it, Blaine?"
Blaine licked his lips. "They cause fireworks, Kurt."
Kurt blinked a couple of times, staring at the page. "Really?" he squeaked out.
"Yeah." Blaine's voice had gone soft and taken a tone that Kurt hadn't heard before. He glanced up to see Blaine staring at him, his eyes heated. "You know you're gorgeous?"
Kurt blushed, but refused to back down. "So are you," he murmured lightly, reaching over to take his boyfriend's hand. Blaine's eyes seemed to grow in intensity as they stared at each other for what felt like eternity. But as much as Kurt loved staring at Blaine, there was one thing he wanted just a little bit more. "Are you going to?"
Blaine frowned slightly. "Going to what?"
"Kiss me."
Kurt wondered for a second whether he sounded desperate or, heaven forbid, needy, but judging by the look in Blaine's eyes a moment later, he figured it was more than fine.
"I thought you'd never ask," Blaine whispered before leaning in to connect their lips.
After everything he had been through, Kurt had to admit that he had high expectations for his first real kiss. He had watched enough romantic movies to know that when you kissed someone you loved for the first time, it was meant to be a million emotions that nobody could ever express. And Kurt could say in all honesty that his first kiss had more than surpassed his hopes. Because all of those romantic movies had been missing one thing in particular. Blaine.
Blaine pulled away after a few moments, leaving Kurt trying to catch his breath and focus back on reality. "Well," his boyfriend whispered lightly, "I think we just made our fireworks, don't you?"
All Kurt could do was nod, before pulling Blaine back in for another kiss. It was only study hall next, and he knew of much better ways to occupy his time. But as Blaine kissed him back hungrily, Kurt couldn't help but laugh.
Damn it all if Blaine Anderson didn't just make Chemistry romantic...
Did anybody else see the drawings Chris Colfer did on the plane during Glee Live 2011? They're gorgeous! I think Darren tweeted them ;)
You have no idea how long I sat there, staring at my Periodic Table trying to find Glee-applicable Chemistry words.
MusicalEscape:
Wes as a doctor(as Kurt and Blaine observe):
*bangs down surgical tool* "Order in the break room!"
"You mock me, sir!"
"It's like the Warblers all over again. What are they even arguing about?"
"I think it's something about the lack of gavels. Or about how fashionable the lab coat things are. I'm glad I taught the Counil something before I left." *smirk*
