"okay guys!" Wes called out at the next Warbler meeting. "so... well this will sound incredibly stupid but, even though I was the one who suggested we have a 'Monkee week'... well i kinda don't know any other Monkee songs."

The whole group groaned and broke out into whispers ("Typical Wes..." "He always does this...")

"Woah, hold up guys!" Wes yelled to get them to stop talking "I don't know any other songs but I take it you guys do?" there were nods from just over half of the warblers "Okay, cool. See, I though we could use this as a solo or even duet practice. You guys can come up and sing whatever 'Monkee' song you want and we'll all just... watch." Wes finished, winking at Blaine then sat down looking a little overly pleased with hi"Okay guys," Wes called out at the next warbler meeting "so, well this will sound incredibly stupid mself.

"So..." David piped up from beside him "any takers?" he looked pointedly at Blaine.

The curly haired warbler stood and said "yea, um this is for someone is this room... um, yeah you'll know who you are..."

Blaine gulped audibly and looked at the person this whole shebang was for. Kurt. But he was avoiding Blaine's gaze like the plague. Blaine sighed and moved to grab his acoustic guitar from behind the couch where it had been resting. He remembered the conversation that had led to this... performance.

Blaine just gave Wes The Look and said "I think I've really stuffed up this time man." Wes looked concerned with Blaine's tone of voice.

"Blaine, what did you do to Kurt?" Wes asked, getting straight to the point but when blaine Blaine opened his mouth to say something back he caught himself "actually, you know what? We are gonna go find David and talk about this together."

They got to David's dorm room and strolled right on in. Then stopped. And went back out again.

"You know what? I don't think Caitlin and David noticed us because they were too caught up in... anyway, let's just go talk, Blaine" Wes said uncomfortably.

"I think that's a good idea."

Blaine started playing the guitar softly, then he began to sing. Kurt's head came up at the choice of song. He knew it was for him and him alone. Oh joy.

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea.
If your love has to tie me, don't try me,
Say good-bye.

They strolled across campus to a massive oak tree that they used to hang out at sometimes, well, before Kurt came along.

"Okay Blaine, I know there's something you want to get off your chest so... just talk."

"Alright. So I think it all began with the whole Jeremiah thing." Blaine paused to cringe, "But afterwards we went to the coffee shop and Kurt kinda, well, he told me he... likes me."

"Is that it? Everyone knows he likes you."

"What? No I meant like likes me..."

"I know what you meant Blaine!" Wes replied, laughing.

I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me say you like me,
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me,
Oh-oh-oh

"But then I told him that I didn't like him that way and he walked out with some sort of excuse or something."

"So why was he so... pissed, for lack of a better word, after we locked you in a room with him?"

This was when Blaine looked up and Wes saw the guilt in his eyes. "Okay... um he sort of asked me why... why I didn't like him and... and agh."

"Blaine, dude, it can't have been that bad! I mean unless you like mocked his voice or something." Wes said with a hint of laughter in his voice... until he saw Blaine's face "Oh god, Blaine. You've got to be kidding me. You know how sensitive he is about that!"

"I know... then I proceeded to tell him that I couldn't possibly like him because he was too much of a... of a girl." Wes gasped dramatically "I know! I feel so bad..."

I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun
Doing all those things
Without any strings
To tie me down.

"It's okay, Blaine... I have the perfect idea and it could even tie in with monkee week..."

I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe.
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I gotta say:
I wanna be free
I wanna be free
I wanna be free

Blaine finished the song and looked up into Kurt's eyes sadly. All the Warblers turned to see Kurt's reaction (they aren't dumb, they know what this is about!) Kurt took one look around and saw everyone staring at him.

"Um... I'm not feeling well I'm just gonna..." Kurt said, petering off and just walking out of the room with his eyes on the ground.

The whole room held it's breath, not sure what to do... "nice song, Blaine... you killed it!" David said, trying to be enthusiastic.
