They all got on the bus the warblers hired for sectionals, sectionals took place at McKinley this year so they all had to go to Lima.
Kurt took place somewhere in the back. Blaine fell down beside him. "Are you excited?" Kurt asked. Blaine smiled nervous and nodded. "You?" He asked. Kurt nodded. "My brother is going to be there. He and his girlfriend are in the glee club from their school. He goes to a normal school. His girlfriend is going to that school Nick wants to get in. NYADA I think. She got accepted like last year already" Kurt said. Blaine nodded.
"She must be good then" blaine said. Kurt nodded. "They win every competition they enter" kurt said. "You must be proud." Blaine said. Kurt shook his head. "This may sound rude of me but, I've never really went to one of their competitions. Don't get me wrong. I want to. It's just not save enough for me to go somewhere in Denmark without security." Kurt said. Blaine nodded although he still had no idea who Kurt is. Blaine is quite a curious person out of nature and the whole secret thing is kind of eating him.
"chandler texted me good luck this morning" Kurt then said easily changing the subject. Blaine looked confused at Kurt. "What did you do?" Blaine asked. Kurt looked outside when Blaine asked this. "I cried a little." he said not daring to look Blaine in the eyes.
"Kurt, no. Why didn't you come to see me. I'm so sorry" Blaine said hugging Kurt's back. Kurt turned around so Blaine was hugging his side. "Why are you sorry? You couldn't do anything about it " Kurt said. Blaine shook his head.
"I'm sorry because I wasn't there when you needed a friend" Blaine said. Kurt shrugged. "I'm fine now. I should just forget about him. Today should be good no? Oh god." Kurt let himself fall on Blaine who was still kind of half hugging him.
"Let's talk about something that doesn't depress me. Have you seen the new vogue? I bought it yesterday." Kurt said taking it out of the bag he brought. Blaine shook his head. "No I was going to buy it though" he said. Together they looked through the fashion magazine. Kurt was resting his head on Blaine's shoulder and Blaine held onto Kurt's side. Only because Kurt is sad and he needs to be comforted. At least that's what Blaine tells himself.
2 hours on the bus later and they have arrived at their destination. "McKinley high school. Looks pretty American" Kurt said when they were walking through the hallways. "That's because we are in American" Blaine pointed out. Kurt nodded but he stopped anyway. "Look around. If we, European people, imagine an American high school we see this. The big and tall lockers, the doors and classrooms the posters. It's very American" Kurt said. They walked through again. "Isn't Dalton American then?" Blaine asked. Kurt saw that he was very amused with the whole theory. Although it's completely true. "No. It's more English. I don't watch a lot of movies but I saw wild child and I saw some snippets of Harry Potter and yeah. Dalton academy for boys looks very British." He said. Blaine shook his head smirking.
"You are unbelievable. Don't get this wrong. I love to know how you see life. Because it's so different from how I see it" Blaine explained. Kurt smiled and nodded. He felt so relaxed for the moment. He actually felt like a normal boy and he has never felt better actually.
"Hej Kurt. Bror. Jeg har savnet dig" (he Kurt, Brother. I have missed you..) someone said behind him. Both Kurt and Blaine turned around and the person who said the sentence hugged Kurt tight. Because it was Danish. Blaine had no idea what the boy had told Kurt. But, he has a light feeling this might be Kurt's stepbrother. Judging from the petite girl standing next to him. "Hello" Blaine said. She nodded.
"I'm Blaine Anderson" he said reaching his hand out to the girl. She shook his hand. "Blaine. This is Rachel. She's the girlfriend from my stepbrother Finn. Finn this is the son of my guest hosts and roommate in Dalton" Kurt introduced them all to each other. Blaine nodded at Finn as greeting. Blaine wasn't the tallest person. But Finn was like really tall.
"I already told you that my beautiful soon to be sister-in-law is accepted in NYADA" Kurt had changed in the person he normally is around Rachel and Finn. He was sarcastic again and all the happy feelings were gone. Rachel shook her head. She looked like she was searching words.
"If you want to tell Blaine something. I'm always free to translate" Kurt said. "And there is the Kurt we know again" Rachel said. Kurt was 1. Surprised how good Rachel's English had become. The last time he had properly talked to her, she could barely speak English. But then again, it has been quite a time since he last talked to her in English.
"Okay! Everyone has met. Great!" Kurt said. He didn't even know what he was saying himself.
"Are you okay Kurt?" Blaine asked when Finn and Rachel were walking in front of them. Blaine had seen how stressed and up tight Kurt had become. "Yeah. It's weird to see them and now I have this extra stress." Kurt confessed. Blaine nodded. "I saw. But don't worry. I haven't seen my brother in ages too" Blaine said. Kurt looked confused at Blaine.
"Do you have a brother?" He asked. Blaine nodded. "See. I haven't seen or spoken to him in a long time. He's a nice guy. But when I spend too much time with him. I go insane" Blaine explained. Kurt smiled. He doesn't know why. Probably because even though he's in the same building as his brother. Blaine still succeeds to make him forget about all of it.
"Hey, we could maybe go and eat something together after this thing. I mean. Going back to Westerville if we have to drive back here anyway is pointless" Blaine said. Kurt smiled at the idea.
"Yeah, that's a great idea but I'm paying" Kurt said. Blaine quirked his eyebrow at Kurt. "I'm sure that I can do that for myself" he said. Kurt shook his head. "I'm already staying at your family's house. I'm sure if I say that I'm paying" Kurt said. Blaine shook his head but they already entered the green room. It looked like they were sitting in a history classroom an American flag completed the room. "Very American?" Blaine asked Kurt jokingly. Kurt chuckled and nodded. "Very American" he agreed.
"Do you guys do a show circle before you go on stage?" Kurt asked while looking in the mirror just to check if his hair was still in place. "Lay easy on those musicals Kurt." Blaine said. Looking around the room that they are in. "Is that a musicals thing?" Kurt wondered out loud.
Wes knocked on the table to gain attention. "Good boys. We're on in a few. If you mess up. Just go through. Don't stop. There is only a little chance that nobody will see if you don't stop and don't mess up your lyrics Blaine." The second Wes stopped talking the lights started flickering. "Okay. Once a warbler always a warbler." He said. We all walked to the stage.
"Kurt hi. Good luck" she said hugging him. He looked at the black girl he befriended that one time he went shopping. She was fitting a dress and Kurt couldn't do else but comment what she should look for in a dress. He even got her another dress that looked way better on her and was not as expensive. "Thank you Mercedes" he said. The girl nodded. "That the best may win" she said. Kurt smiled before kissing her cheek and following his fellow warbler friends to the stage.
Their performance was okay. Although he only had to back up. He saw the new directions sitting in the front row and just behind them were sitting Rachel and Finn. They were speaking Danish to each other. After their performance they went back stage to the hallway again so they could sit in the auditorium and watch the other teams.
Kurt, Blaine, nick and Jeff went to sit next to them. "Nick that's the girlfriend of my Stepbrother Finn. Rachel. She got accepted in NYADA last year. Rachel my friend nick. He applied to NYADA. Now bond." He said sitting down next to Finn. "You were really good" Finn said to Blaine. Blaine smiled and even blushed a little. "Thank you" he shyly accepted the compliment. "Do you also want to go to a musical school next year?" Finn asked. Blaine shrugged. "I'm only in junior. I don't know what I'm going to do next year. I kind of want to go and do something with singing. But on the other hand I would like to keep it as a hobby and study medicines. To be honest. I'm so not sure yet. I know I was supposed to know it last year. But. Like I also like to work with people. I wouldn't say I'm bossy but, if we're in a group I like to take the lead and organize everything. So I'm actually thinking about going into a politic youth movement. Maybe go into the politic when I'm older. What are you going to do?" He asked. Finn shrugged. "I won't really be able to go to any college or university, just like Kurt. I will be stuck in the country and maybe I'll go in the army or anything." Finn said.
That fell hard on Kurt, he always had thought about how his life but he never realised that Finn also got dragged in that life. Suddenly he didn't feel well anymore. It wasn't like he felt like he was going to throw up but he didn't feel comfortable in the crowd. "Excuse me" he said before standing up and walking out of the auditorium. He then ran all the way to the toilets.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked. Finn sighed and shrugged. He wasn't really that sure but he had quite a feeling that he knew what it was about. But it's not like he's going to tell Blaine. "Is Kurt alright?" Rachel then asked. She looked confused and worried. Finn shook his head. The other guys also looked at where Kurt had gone. "I'm gonna go check up on him" Blaine announced. Finn laid his hand on Blaine's upper arm pulling him down again. "I'll go and check up on him. It's okay" Finn said.
He went out of the room and looked around the hallway. Not knowing where his brother went. The bathroom, maybe. He searched the toilets and went inside. He quickly looked around all the stalls. No feet. But Kurt knowing he must be in there. A soft sniffle was heard and Finn stood up straight. Brother found. Only where?
"Blaine go away." Kurt then said. Okay last stall. That was easy. "Kurt. It's not Blaine. It's me. Finn. What's going on?" Kurt let go of a strangled sob and Finn pushed against the door and it was unlocked. Kurt was sitting on the ground and Finn went to sit next to him. "I just realised that I not only I have to go back 1 day. Which is something I don't ever want to do anymore, but so do you and I have been so cruel to you over the years. It's not even that, it's just, you really don't have anything really useful to do because of us. And I don't wanna go back because I don't feel ready yet, I don't think that I can do what I have to do yet." Kurt said. Finn sighed and hugged Kurt. "Oh little bro. If I would be able to do it instead of you. I would. But, you have been trained ever since you were 3. You'll be a great king Kurt" Finn said.
"Finn, I don't want you to do anything like taking over Rachel fathers' shop like I used to say." Kurt said. Finn looked confused at Kurt. A smile on his face. "You told me I was too stupid to even read. Taking over the shop would be the only option for me" Finn said. Kurt shook his head. "I was such a horrible person, I'm not just embarrassed but I am like if I would have myself on facebook last year I would have unfriended myself. It's just this thing and it is how I used to deal with reality. " he explained. Finn shook his head. As long as you keep your friends around. You'll be happy. Talking about friends. Have you heard something about Chandler? We haven't seen nor heard from him for a while." Kurt nodded.
"He followed me to Dalton. Actually. But, we broke up" Kurt said. Not really that comfortable with that story just yet. "Why? It isn't because of Blaine. Because I don't think your father would like that." Finn said. Kurt shook his head. "Blaine and I are just friends. I don't see him that way and for the record. I don't live to please my father" Kurt tried to explain it. "Why did you break up with Chandler? He was basically your own god that you worshipped." Finn said. Kurt gave Kurt an ugly look. He didn't like that.
"I loved him, but for some reason we weren't really that connected anymore and I don't even know what was going on anymore with us and on some point he got jealous because Blaine had tried to cheer me up and we had this big fight and I broke up with him and now he's at Harvard." Kurt said. "I didn't think you would ever break up with him, but then again, I never thought I would be sitting here with you either." Finn said. Kurt nodded but didn't know how to answer so a silence came over them. "Do you think you'll ever get back together?" Finn asked. Kurt shrugged.
"I wouldn't know. But I don't actually think I will because I have seen a side of him that I really don't like." Finn shook his head. "Kurt. Where do you think you'll find another gay guy who has royal roots? On a dating site? Don't think so" Finn said. Kurt shrugged. "What are you suggesting? That I should get him back and we should try harder? That's not going to happen, I will not marry a man just because he is gay just like me. I mean, I could as well be marrying a girl then. I mean, Queen Elisabeth was married to her people too, I could always do that too." Kurt explained. Finn shook his head.
"Rachel and I are going to do everything so that will never happen. Seriously, if we have to. We will go around all of Europe to find someone who you might like." He said. Kurt shook his head and stood up. Helping Finn up too by offering him his hand. "That's very nice of you guys, but I'm pretty sure that I will not need it." Kurt said walking to the sink to refresh his face. Although probably already thought that he cried, that doesn't mean that everyone has to know.
"We might not have shared a childhood together but I still kind of feel like you are my brother and I do miss you, now that you have been gone for a few months. We even started missing you insulting us because now there are these uncomfortable silences that didn't used to be there before and Rachel secretly missed you too because when you used to listen to musical songs, she would gain tons of inspiration for Glee club because of that. I know what the people think and a gay king confuses them. Not everyone hates it. It's just confusing and people always ask me questions and I'm always like. No, no, no I don't know that. He's my little bro." Finn said now leaning against the toilet stall. Kurt splashed some water in his face.
"If that what they want. Then I'll make sure the children are mine. At least there won't be bastard children right" Kurt said half laughing. Even Finn rolled his eyes and Finn doesn't have the habit of rolling his eyes. "Let's go back. I'm sure the performance started already" he said. Kurt was drying his face with paper napkins and nodded. "Yeah. That's a good idea" they walked through the almost empty hallway. A few people were walking around but obviously the most were watching the haverbook kids preform. Finn went first and Kurt followed somewhere. Sitting down on the empty space beside Blaine.
Blaine looked away from the stage to look at Kurt. "Are you okay?" He whispered in Kurt's ear. Kurt nodded and smiled. "Thank you for asking" he whispered back. "Believe me you haven't missed a thing" he then said loud. To big annoyance of a guy sitting behind them who loudly sighed what made both Kurt and Blaine giggle silently.
"The winner of this 2012 mid-west sectionals is. From Westerville Ohio. The Dalton academy warblers" the host almost shouted through the microphone. Kurt saw that someone next to him was translating it to the deaf kids. But he didn't have to be sad because he got pulled in a group hug. Together they lifted Blaine in the air. His left leg ended up on Kurt's shoulder. They handed him the trophy. After a few seconds the guy who had Blaine's other leg on his shoulder let go and Kurt ended up having Blaine in his arms. "Congratulations handsome" Kurt said before setting him on the ground. Blaine smiled. "Thank you. But without you guys I wouldn't be able to do it" Blaine said. Kurt shook his head. "There is only one star here and it's you." Kurt said. Blaine shook his head.
"We did it guys. We did it" Blaine then shouted. They achieved this and even though Kurt never really sung before he felt good. He felt happy. It's a little achievement. The first achievement. The first in a big row.
