This is my first fanfiction EVER! But I've been writing forever. Critiques are very berry welcome! ^_^
My inspiration was my very talented friend, Maddison (whozzat), who wrote a beautiful kurt/finn fanfiction called "Such Great Heights."
The magnificent musical "Les Miserables" was also much of my inspiration.
"Thanks for helping me practice, Rachel. Les Miserables isn't like the other stuff we learned. It's harder."
"It's pronounced Le Miserab, Finn. I know its spelled Les Miserables, but it's French."
"Oh... my bad. Sorry."
"It's ok, Finn. I find your uncultured vocabulary quite cute, actually."
"Th-thanks."
Finn smiled awkwardly and cleared his throat.
Rachel flipped her sheet music in front of her face, so it slapped the air.
"Let's start from the beginning."
Rachel nodded in the direction of Brad the Piano guy, who started playing a melody that made Kurt Hummel stop in the hallway outside. It was one he knew very well.
A heart full of love. A heart full of song.
Finn sang with his slightly raspy, deep baritenor voice. He looked at Rachel and thought about how she had pretty lips.
I'm doing everything all wrong. Oh god, for shame. I do not even know your name. Dear Mad'moiselle. Won't you say? Won't you tell?
Rachel broke in with her clear, waterfall voice that satisfies it's listeners to the core.
A heart full of love. No fear, no regret.
Now Kurt's angel face was looking through the window of the choir room door. His eyebrows came together slightly and he blinked slowly, the familiar music shivering through him.
My name is Marius Pontmercy.
And mine's Cosette.
Cosette I don't know what to say.
Then make no sound.
I am lost.
I am found.
Kurt's little hand touched the glass of the door. He closed his eyes tightly, and then opened them again and blinked a few times, trying not to cry.
A heart full of light.
A night bright as day.
And you must never go away. Cosette, Cosette.
This is a chain we'll never break.
Do I dream?
I'm awake.
Kurt's bottom lip trembled. He felt like Eponine from Les Miserables. Eponine was always one of his dream roles. And why couldn't Eponine be played by a boy? There was no reason for that part to be female. Males could love unattainable males. Kurt certainly knew that was true.
A heart full of love.
Kurt quietly sang Eponine's part of the trio, while Rachel and Finn sang the trio as a duet and did not notice the boy outside the door.
He was never mine to lose. Why regret what could not be? These are words he'll never say. Not to me. Not to me. Not for me.
Finn and Rachel sang the last part of the song together, holding hands and looking into each other's eyes. Finn looked slightly uncomfortable, but Finn always looked slightly uncomfortable.
For it isn't a dream. Not a dream after all.
A tear rolled down Kurt's pink cheek. He looked down and took a shaky breath. Then Kurt thought Brad the piano guy almost saw him, so he turned on his heels and walked away swiftly, hugging his messenger leather bag to his chest.
I don't own Glee, and all lyrics are from "Les Miserables."
What do you think so far?
