Author's Note: I don't own Glee, I wish but still I don't Glee or any song lyrics
Setting: Glee rehearsal room in the "Home" Episode I figured it can be a Kurt and Artie moment. Enjoy XD
The next day was performance day in Glee. Mercedes, Tina, and Quinn did 'Say My Name' by Destiny's Child. Rachel and Jesse did 'Almost Paradise' by Ann Wilson and Mike Reno, Puck, Finn, Mike, and Matt had done 'Dance The Night Away' by Val Halen, and Santana and Brittany did 'Love Don't Cost A Thing' by Jennifer Lopez. Now it was Artie and Kurt's turn. They both took a deep breath.
There are things in life you'll learn and
In time you'll see
Cause out there somewhere
It's all waiting
If you keep believing
So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you
Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
There will be times on this journey
All you'll see is darkness
Out there somewhere daylight finds you
If you keep believing
So don't run, don't hide
It will be all right
You'll see, trust me
I'll be there watching over you
They could see some of their follow Gleeks tearing up.
Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
All the things that you can change
There's a meaning in everything
And you will find all you need
There's so much to understand
Blotching the last part of the chorus they turned to each other and smile with their eyes.
Just take a look through my eyes
There's a better place
somewhere out there
Just take a look through my eyes
Everything changes
You'll be amazed what you'll find
If you look through my eyes
Take a look through my eyes
Everyone cheered and applauded. They even saw Mr. Schuester tearing. They hugged and returned to their seats. Mr. Schue passed out the small papers and everyone voted their top 3 and next week would be the results.
"You guys were so amazing." Finn patted their backs.
"Great job Artie, you too Kurt!" Tina came up to kiss Artie on the cheek. After all the congrats Artie pulled Tina aside.
"Tina I need to ask you something."
"What is it sweets?" Tina sounded concerned
"Have you told anyone else besides me about your stutter?"
"Ahh…I told Mercedes and Quinn."
"Really?" Artie raised an eyebrow that always got to Tina.
"Okay no not really. You are the only person that wouldn't kill me, if I had told them they would hurt me." Artie was taking that to heart.
"Wait so, because I couldn't physical hurt you, you told me? I'm hurt. I was hurt emotionally and now you are saying I couldn't hurt you, I could try if I wanted to but I didn't." Tina was surprised at the response. "You need to tell the rest of Glee or I'm done."
"Artie please I can't" Tina's eyes watering as those words were said.
"You told me, why is it so hard"
"They will think I'm a liar and a fake."
"Really, you are a fake Tina, this is stupid. You are lucky I'm a nice guy." Artie was furious at this point.
"Please Artie I need you"
"Need me for what? You're social life. You are doing a pretty damn good job you don't need me." Artie was thinking in the back of his head on what to say next. Puck had turned the corner to head to the parking lot as he heard this.
"Artie!" Tina begged and pleaded.
"NO GODDAMNIT!" He yelled
"Hey knock it off you two. You two are perfect for each other what seems to be the problem?" Puck questioned the look on their faces.
"Tell him."
"I can't" Tina's water filled eyes started streaming tears
"Tina, why would just tell one person and think you are clean. You're not!"
"Okay, Puck I don't have a stutter, I've faked since sixth grade." Tina admitted
"Artie told me, but it's good to hear it from you!"
"What you told him?" Tina was trying to turn the tables. "What the hell Artie?"
"Don't pin this on him, what you need to do is confess to the rest of glee next week or at lunch tomorrow." Puck said
"In front of the whole sc-school"
"Your choice Tina." Puck simply said.
Tomorrow rolled by and Artie and Puck waited anxiety as Tina just sat and ate her food. Damn not a word. So by next week the results were in. Mr. Schue was about to give us the poll.
"Mr. Schue I h-h-have something t-to say" Tina stood up. Artie shook his head.
"Yes, Tina" Schue directing her to the center of the room
"Well I-I just wan-wanna say go-good l-luck everyone" As she sat back down, Puck and Artie looked at each other and just had the same look of disappointment.
"Okay, Yes Tina brings a good point no matter what everyone's performances were really great." Mr. Schuester restated.
"Mr. Schuester Tina is faking her stutter."
"Artie what are you talking about, no one fakes a stutter" Rachel stated.
"It's true, she fakes her stutter." Puck stood next to Artie.
"Tina" both of them said.
"Please this is ridiculous guys she doesn't fake her stutter, why would you say that?" Mercedes asked.
"It's true" Tina said softly. "It's all true" She spoke louder. There was a silence then a unison gasp from everyone.
"The only reason why she didn't want to say anything was because she didn't want you guys to hurt her or be-friend her." Artie said with a smile. Tina had never expected Artie to be that nice with the argument they had last week.
"Oh no we are all family here in glee, I believe everyone accepts Tina with anything she does and we should do that for everyone" Rachel stated with her usually snob-know-it-all attitude.
"Respect" Mercedes sat next to Tina and hugged her.
"Okay with that all cleared I believe the results are in" Schuester had a paper in his hands. "The three songs for regionals are 'Say My Name', 'Almost Paradise', and 'Look Through My Eyes' Congrats guys." Everyone clapped in joy. The girls hugged each other. Rachel couldn't keep her lips off of Jesse. Kurt walked over to Artie leaned down and gave Artie a big hug. Puck had noticed the connection they had.
After everyone left Kurt stood back to wait for Artie to be done with Tina.
"Thank you so much Artie, and I'm sorry for everything" Tina gave him a nice passionate kiss on the lips and walked away.
"So you and Tina are still an item?" Kurt walked towards him.
"Yea, now is not a good time to tell her. Maybe we should just be friends Kurt, but what we had was really awesome" Artie can see the look of shear heart break.
"Just remember Artie…"
"What?" Artie's eye brow rose up.
"You'll always be in my heart" With that been said Kurt had walked down the hall and had disappeared into the night.
Yes, I totally just did that. That is the last of my first full Glee story, So You Like? Tell me if you liked it or not. Plus, I feel a sequel coming anyway.
