Gleeva Forever
Chapter 4- Do You Still Remember How We Used To Be?
Blaine walked through the Dalton corridors as he attempt to find the Warbler common room. The corridors were still as beautiful and majestic as he'd always thought them to be and Blaine felt a surge of memories flooding his mind as he walked through the familiar school. He started to wonder if he was making the right decision, should he have called them to say he was visiting, would they even be in the common room any more now they were no longer competing. Oh well it was too late now for him to turn back and just go home. Blaine walked round the corner that he knew the common room was located around. He could hear Warbler backing vocals drifting out of the room. He could very clearly hear Sebastian's voice.
"Do you still remember, how we used to be,
Feeling together, believing whatever,
My love has said to me,
Both of us were dreamers,
Young love in the sun,
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave you,
We'd only just begun,"
As Blaine stood in the door way watching the performance as the voices changed from Sebastian's to Nick and Jeff he was able to see that it wasn't a full Warbler practise as only Sebastian, Jeff and Nick were present. It turned out the backing vocals had been pre-recorded and where coming from the sound system in the corner.
"Hasta mañana, always be mine,
Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
Blaine decided it was time to make his presence known and sing the next verse.
"Yes I still remember, every whispered word,
The touch of your skin, giving life from within,
Like a love song that I'd heard,"
Sebastian turned to see Blaine standing by the door. Despite all that had happened between them his face still lit up with his bright smile upon seeing Blaine.
"Slippin' through our fingers, like the sands of time,
Promises made, every memory saved,
Has reflections in my mind,"
The next verse was then flawlessly sung together by Blaine and Sebastian.
"Hasta mañana, always be mine,
Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
Nick stood forward to take the next verse looking at Jeff the entire time he sang. The way Nick looked at Jeff made Blaine wonder if they'd at long last admitted their feelings for each other and finally got together.
"Back where I belong now, was it just a dream,
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold,
And the secret's safe with me,
Hasta mañana, always be mine,"
After Nick's verse Jeff took the next chorus.
"Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
Nick harmonised with Jeff and they sang the following chorus together.
"Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
The two voices sing switched back to one as Sebastian took over.
"Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
As with Nick and Jeff earlier in the song Blaine's voice came into harmonise with Sebastian's for the final verse.
"Viva forever, I'll be waiting,
Everlasting, like the sun,
Live forever, for the moment,
Ever searching for the one,"
"Hello again Blaine." said Sebastian with a hostile tone.
"Have you come to spy on what's left of the Warblers?" said Nick equally acusingly.
"No I didn't come to spy on you. I came to see if we could be friends again." said Blaine. He felt sad that it looked like he was going to be going back without having regained his old friendships.
"Why should we want to be friends with you again after everything that's happened?" asked Jeff. He wasn't as hostile as Nick and Sebastian had been but still had a questioning tone in his voice.
"Because this week I've been reminded that friendship never ends and it kind of hurt because I'd let one of the best friendships I've ever had end. Dalton is important to me. The Warblers are important to me. I know things can't go back to how they used to be but moving forward I want to stay friends." said Blaine. Given all the weight that had been coming off his shoulders recently Blaine was beginning to thinking he needed to find a new set of things to worry about.
"You really mean this don't you?" asked Sebastian. Despite his cynical attitude earlier Sebastian Smythe was starting to believe Blaine. But he needed to hear him confirm that he meant it out loud to truely judeg how genuine Blaine was.
"Yeah I really do."
"Blaine. Thank you." said Jeff summing up the thoughts of the three Warblers.
"So what are we cool again?" asked Blaine. He needed to check just to make sure he'd heard correctly.
"Yeah. Come on let's go get a coffee and talk about things." said Sebastian walking out of the room and leading the way for the others to follow.
"So what happened to everyone else?" asked Blaine as he sat down with his coffee in hand at the table. Blaine thought for a moment how the sence was similar to when he'd taken Kurt for coffee after Teenage Dream. Except this time he was the one not wearing a uniform.
"They gradually just left as most of the current lot of Warblers were seniors so we didn't really have anything to do." said Nick.
"Despite the fact we only used placebos we still got disqualified from competitions for wasting the governing boards time and delaying Regionals." explained Jeff.
"At first we tried to continue practises but it just didn't feel the same so as a result gradually everyone left until it was just us." said Nick.
Blaine felt sad. He hadn't wanted this to happen when he'd convinced Trent to testify against the Warblers. When the truth had come out that they'd only been using placebos Blaine had just expected that they'd be able to compete again. He hadn't expected them to be more or less disbanded. "But if everyone else left how come you had the backing track for Viva Forever?"
"We'd heard rumours that the theme for Regionals was going to be either British or Dreams and so I suggested Viva Forever as it's British and has a kind of dream like feel to it. We recored a sample backing track to see if it would work but it then got lost in my dorm however this morning I found it again and suggested to Sebastian and Nick we should we what it could have been like." explained Jeff.
"I'm glad we can be friends again." said Sebastian. Blaine realised that Sebastian had been quietly sat at the table not saying anything since they'd picked up their coffee's.
"So am I." Blaine got a glimpse of his watch and realised what time it was. "I have to go now. I promised Sam that I'd help him cram for the Math exam tomorrow."
"We should met up again soon." said Sebastian as Blaine gethered up his stuff to head towards the door.
"Later this week?" suggested Blaine as he walked out of the Lima Bean. He hoped that they would arrange something for later on in the week.
Viva Forever is my favourite Spice Girls song. The Warblers are my favourites from Glee. It seemed like an obvious choice to have them singing Viva Forever. And also the lyrics fit for Seblaine.
