Rachel and Quinn were as far away from each other as humanly possible, with their backs turned away from each other.
"Dearest, darlingest Momsy and Popsicle," Quinn began as Rachel and she just wanted to get their duet out of the way.
"My dear father," Rachel spoke.
"There's been some confusion over rooming here at Shiz," They sang together, both trying to out-sing the other.
"But of course I'll care for Nessa,"
"But of course I'll rise above it." Quinn sang, heavily enunciating the't' on the end of it.
"For I know that's how you'd want me to respond,
Yes, there's been some confusion for you
See my roommate is..." The two girls sang together, turning to face each other.
"Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and
Altogether quite impossible to describe..." Quinn sang with distaste sizing up Rachel's animal sweater and pleated skirt.
"Blonde."
Rachel said, the word coming out maliciously.
They paused looked at each other then looked out and sang, "What is this feeling so sudden and new?"
"I felt the moment I laid eyes on you"
Rachel sang.
"My pulse is rushing"
Quinn being overly dramatic put her fingers to her wrist, looking to the door.
"My head is reeling"
Rachel sang while putting her hands to her head.
"My face is flushing"
Quinn sang with a squeal, using Bambi eyes and throwing her hands to her cheeks.
"What is this feeling fervid as a flame,
Does it have a name, yeeesss,
Loathing unadulterated loathing"
They sang together stariong each other down as they did so.
"For your face"
Quinn sang, scrunching her nose up.
"Your voice"
Rachel spat.
"Your clothing"
Backing off as if her sweater was poisoned.
"Let's just say,
I loathe it all." The girls sang matter-of-factly, then continued.
"Every little trait however small,
Makes my very flesh begin to crawl,
With simple utter loathing
There's a strange exhilaration in such total
Detestation.
It's so pure so strong,
Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last
And I will be loathing,
Loathing you my whole life long."
Santana began leading the rest of the club in being 'Ozian's' singing, "Dear Galinda you are just too good
How do you stand it I don't think I could."
"She's a terror she's a tartar we don't mean to show a bias
But Galinda you're a martyr." The rest of the club sang. Meanwhile, Kurt, Blaine, and Finn watched as Rachel began to lose steam, her confidence failing her as her fellow glee clubbers turned on her.
"Well, these things are sent to try us."
Quinn sang with a giggle and a bat of her long, mascara-ed eyelashes.
"Poor Galinda forced to reside
With someone so disgusticified
We just want to tell you we're all on your side!
We share your loathing,"
Rachel just shrunk back more, tears starting to brim in her eyes. Blaine was about ready to smack every single person in that glee club. How could Mr. Shue let this happen? Rachel simply turned around wiping her eyes, and re-gaining her confidence, not letting Quinn get to her.
"What is this feeling so
Sudden and new
I felt the
Moment I laid eyes on
You, my pulse is
Rushing
My head is reeling,
My face is flushing,"
The club screamed in Rachel's direction, "WE LOATHE IT ALL!" What the hell? Kurt, Blaine, and Finn looked about ready to commit murder.
"Oh what is this feeling?
Every little trait however
Small makes our very flesh
Begin to crawl,
And I will be
Loathing
There's a strange
Exhilaration
In such total
Detestation
It's so pure so strong," Quinn and Rachel sang together until Rachel, stealing the chorus' part sang with as much power as she could muster,
"So strong,"
Quinn, making sure she won the diva battle glared at Rachel and began to circle her. "Though I do admit it came on fast
Still I do believe that it can last and I will be
Loathing for forever
Loathing
Truly deeply loathing
Loathing you
My whole life long!" Rachel looking at the hatred in Quinn's eyes turned away for the last note of the song to wipe her eyes one last time, but Quinn wasn't done. She tapped on Rachel's shoulder.
"Cry much?" Quinn said with a smug grin. Rachel looked at her with tears threatening to spill. But instead of holding her ground, she turned and ran out, sobs already being heard as she ran down the hall.
Blaine looked on in disbelief, stood up walked over to Quinn, and said in a low voice, "You're lucky I don't hit girls," Then turning to the rest of the club screamed, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT! What happened to the family Kurt told me about every day? How can you IDIOTS not possibly see how fragile she is? Well, if this is family, I DON'T WANT TO BE A PART OF IT." And with that, Blaine ran out of the room calling after Rachel.
They all just stared at where Blaine had just stood when Santana finally said, "It was just a joke."
Kurt turned and looked at the vicious Latina and whispered, "Didn't look like it from where I stood." Then got up and walked out of the room.
Finn looked after Kurt, and then glared at Quinn. He got up to leave. "If you leave and go after that, that ELF, we're done." Quinn spat.
Finn just looked at her and said, "Fine. At least Rachel has a heart." And walked out. Quinn stared after Finn for a long time when Mr. Shuester got up and led her to her seat.
He looked at each of his kids with a disappointing gaze and finally began to speak.
"What it did it say on that list? No one? It SPECIFICALLY said this will NOT be used to tease anyone. And what did you do? You humiliated Rachel, and then kicked her while she was down. I am EXTREMELY disappointed in you. I always let you off easy. Not this time. Santana, and Quinn, detentions. Two weeks. Everyone else, one week." Mr. Shuester said unsympathetically. No one questioned his punishment.
"I thought you were all SO much better than this. You will serve during lunch. With SUE. Dismissed." He said and walked out of the room.
They all just continued to sit there, until finally, Quinn began to cry.
It had taken the three boys a good thirty minutes to get Rachel to calm down, repeating over and over how they didn't matter. Quinn was bitch to begin with. Do you really think she has any REAL friends? Finn offered to drive Rachel home and keep her company while Blaine took her dad's car and went to Kurt's.
"Well, that was QUITE an interesting day wasn't it?" Kurt sadi as the couple walked out, fingers interlaced.
Blaine gave a tired laugh and said, "I get why people wouldn't like her. I mean, she has a really STRONG personality, but, I can't believe her own teammates had the gall to do that to her. No one deserves to be treated like that."
"Oh don't worry," Kurt said with a reassuring smile, "Mr. Shue scolded them, and tomorrow they will be all sorry's and smiles." Kurt said before placing a kiss on his cheek before they got into their cars.
"I'll meet you at your house, okay Kurt?" Blaine called out.
"Yeah. I love you."
"I love you too."
They got in their cars and made the ten minute drive to Kurt's. Kurt turned on his Wicked playlist, and Blaine turned on his Maroon Five/Katy Perry playlist. It was on his drive home he figured out just what his solo would be. But he would need a little help. In order to plan out his song a little more, he made a couple laps around Kurt's neighborhood before finally pulling in the drive way.
"Hey," Kurt yelled out from the door, "What took you so long? Get lost? Couldn't see over the dashboard and miss the house?" Kurt laughed, making yet ANOTHER joke about Blaine's height.
"Very funny, and no. I had to stop for gas. Sorry." He said walking up to the door and kissing Kurt chastely on the lips. "Let's go downstairs. To your room." Blaine said with a mischievous and sly smile.
Kurt giggled and ran down the stairs, causing Blaine to chase after Kurt and tackle him on the bed. He began kissing Kurt everywhere, Kurt helpless to escape, just kept giggling. Soon, Blaine found his way to Kurt's mouth, effectively shutting Kurt up. Kurt ran his tongue over Blaine's lips asking for entrance, which Blaine happily provided.
Kurt's hands began exploring Blaine's chest, tearing his shirt out of his pants, running his hands up and down his rock hard abs, at which Blaine shuddered. Kurt, decide to take control and flipped Blaine on his back, Kurt now on top. Kurt took his hands out from under Blaine's shirt and started running his hands through Blaine's thickly gelled curls. An idea popped into his head.
Kurt stopped kissing Blaine with much effort, and whispered seductively into Blaine's ear, "Follow me."
Blaine looked at Kurt curiously and followed Kurt as he got off of Blaine and strutted, oh wizard god his ass looked good, to the bathroom. Kurt shut and locked the door. Blaine finally regained function of his brain and got up and walked over to the bathroom. He called, "I thought you wanted me to follow you. You are making it quite difficult when you have a door between us keeping me from being able to jump your bones."
He heard Kurt giggle uncontrollably from the other side of the door, and heard the shower turn on. Blaine's mind went straight to the gutter. They had the house all to themselves, were in the basement, and the shower turned on. It took all of Blaine's strength not to beat down the door and ravish Kurt right then and there.
"I have a little surprise for you," Kurt said, opening the door and poking his head out. He batted his eyelashes in the adorable way that he does, and finally Blaine's mind began to clear. He never batted his eyelashes unless he was playing a cruel- Blaine's head was met with a heavy spray of water.
Blaine's next instinct was to run. Kurt followed him around his room with the shower head soaking Blaine when finally Blaine retaliated, heading straight for Kurt, the two battling it out for control of the shower head.
"I GIVE, I GIVE!" Kurt shouted, throwing his hands into the air.
Blaine who was now spraying Kurt with the shower head, laughed, "HAHA! VICTORY!" Blaine ran into the bathroom and returned the shower head to its original place and asked with a stern look, "Now, why did you do that?"
Kurt, attempting to pull off the most innocent Bambi eyes possible whimpered, "I wanted to see your curls."
"Really?" Blaine asked, backing Kurt into a corner, "Well, you got to see my curls, and now you must be punished."
Kurt stared at Blaine blankly and was about to escape, but it was too late. Tickling had begun. They laughed as Kurt squirmed. Finally, Blaine stopped. They just lay there, Kurt in the crook of Blaine's arm, just staring at the ceiling. After a while, Blaine got up and said he had to go. Rachel needed him.
"Bye, I love you Darren." Blaine turned around and cocked an eyebrow at the nickname. "You look like Darren Criss. I had a HUGE crush on him before I met you."
Blaine laughed, and spoke, "Well, I am honored. I love you too, Bambi." Kurt gave him a confused look. "You look sweet and innocent like Bambi."
"Please don't call me Bambi."
"Why?"
"Just ask Ms. Pillsbury." Blaine looked confused and finally Kurt decided he would have to kick him out if he was ever going to leave. "C'mon, now get your dapper ass out of here before I hold you hostage and never let you leave."
"Is that a threat?" Blaine asked bemusedly.
Kurt's response was a seductive glare and whispered, "It's a promise."
Blaine left the house, his mind filled with Kurt, and his solo. He would need help. Blaine called someone he hadn't spoken to in a couple days. "Hey lover boy!" Wes, spoke into the phone, "Long time no speak! What's up? Homesick already?"
Blaine laughed and said, "Sorry, not quite. I actually need to enlist the Warblers help?"
"My interest has been piqued. What's up?"
"Mr. Shue wants me to do a solo, and the idea literally JUST came to me." Wes listened intently as Blaine explained exactly how everything would go down. When he finished Wes was quiet. "Dude, you still there?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, yeah. The Warblers would be happy to help! It's ingenious, and don't tell anyone I said this, especially David, it's freaking ADORABLE."
Blaine laughed loudly as he pulled into Rachel's driveway, Finn's truck still there. "Awesome. WE can meet tomorrow after school, say, four? New Directions isn't over until 3:30, so I can get all the costumes and everyone prepped for you guys. I gotta go. I just got home."
"Okay. I'll talk to you later. Bye lover boy!"
Blaine was laughing when he walked in the door and saw Finn and Rachel curled up watching A Very Potter Musical. Wait? AVPM!
"Rachel, how did you get this on DVD? I thought it was purely YouTube." Blaine asked excitedly.
Rachel looked up from her position in Finn's arms and shrugged. "I have my methods."
"You're cruel." He spoke with a huff, and then remembered what was going to go down tomorrow. "Hey guys, I need help with something."
Finn now looked away from the movie, "Sure, what is it?"
Blaine explained once again what he wanted to do. Both Finn and Rachel were happy to help. Rachel had ideas for exactly how they would dress. Blaine loved it, while Finn looked skeptical. No mastter what it was still a brilliant idea and they were all excited. To watch it take form.
Finn said goodnight, kissing Rachel lightly on the forehead before leaving. Blaine and Rachel stayed up late, planning, watching AVPM and doing their homework. Something told them tomorrow would be better than today or yesterday.
When they woke up the next morning bith were very chipper, Blaine finally able to move normally, only needing some cover up and little band aids for the really bad cuts and bruises.
AT the ned of the school day, Kurt, Blaine, Finn, and Rachel were all sitting next to each other, laughing about the jokes from A Very Potter Musical, acting as if nothing had happened the previous two days.
"Darren Criss is SO supermegafoxyawesomehott!" Rachel squealed.
"I know right?" Kurt laughed.
Mr. Shue walked in the room with a stern look on his face. "Okay, so all of you except for Santana showed up today at lunch. I'm tacking on another day."
"Fine." Santana muttered.
"Alright, well, who wants to go today? Mr. Shue asked happily.
Finn and Rachel looked at each other and shrugged and got up to perform.
One of the band kids began playing the guitar.
(Okay, so we all know what the emotion is here. So to keep it simple and easy, FINN, RACHEL, BOTH)
"I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven."
"His best days will be some of my worst
He finally met a girl that's gonna put him first
While I'm wide awake he's no trouble sleeping
'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no,"
"What am I supposed to do
When the best part of me was always you and
What am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay,"
"I'm falling to pieces, yeah"
"I'm falling to pieces
"They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
'Cause he's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven, even, no"
"What am I gonna do
When the best part of me was always you
And what am I supposed to say
When I'm all choked up and you're okay"
"I'm falling to pieces, yeah"
"I'm falling to pieces, yeah"
"I'm falling to pieces"
"(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)"
"I'm falling to pieces"
"('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)"
"You got his heart and my heart and none of the pain"
"You took your suitcase, I took the blame"
"Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains, oh"
"'Cause you left me with no love and no love to my name
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing'"
"Just prayed to a God that I don't believe in
'Cause I got time while she got freedom"
"'Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't break"
"No it don't break, no it don't breakeven, no"
"What am I gonna do"
"When the best part of me was always you"
"And what am I supposed to say"
"When I'm all choked up and you're okay"
"I'm falling to pieces, yeah"
"I'm falling to pieces, yeah"
I'm falling to pieces"
"(One's still in love while the other one's leaving)"
"I'm falling to pieces"
"('Cause when a heart breaks, no it don't breakeven)"
"I'm falling to pieces."
At the end, they stood right next to each other, chest to chest, and Finn whispered, "Quinn and I broke up."
Rachel simply stared, already too emotional from the song, could only put her hand on his chest and look at him pleadingly. Finn tried again, "Take a chance on me."
Rachel shook her head and sat down next to Blaine. He took her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. Puck and Quinn went next. Their song fell flat, both too cut off from their emotions to really get into the song.
Mr. Shue stood up when they were done and said, "Alright guys, we have time for one mor song. Who would like to go?"
Finn thought the other song Mr. Shue had chosen for him might sway Rachel so he stood up and grabbed a guitar. "So, uh, I learned guitar for this one. I figured it would be better acoustic."
Finn began to strum and Rachel recognized the melody immediately. It was one of her favorite songs. She had told Finn she had hoped one day to be serenaded by it. She felt then the boy would really love her for everything about her.
"There's something in the way she moves,
Or looks my way, or calls my name,
That seems to leave this troubled world behind." Finn looked at Rachel and smiled, pouring his heart and soul into the song and lyrics.
"And if I'm feeling down and blue,
Or troubled by some foolish game,
She always seems to make me change my mind.
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine." Finn kept his gaze on Rachel, smiling sweetly. As Blaine watched this, he knew if she didn't take Finn back they would have to have VERY serious discussion tonight about it.
"It isn't what she's got to say
But how she thinks and where she's been
To me, the words are nice, the way they sound," As Finn alluded to Rachel's tendency to offend, or say the wrong thing Rachel's heart swelled. He understood. He loved her just as she was.
"I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't much matter what they mean
If she says them mostly just to calm me down
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine.
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their meaning
And I find myself careening
Into places where I should not let me go.
She has the power to go where no one else can find me
And to silently remind me
Of the happiness and the good times that I know, got to know." Rachel really was the only one who could calm Finn down, make him feel safe and sound.
"And I feel fine anytime she's around me now,
She's around me now
Just about all the time
And if I'm well you can tell she's been with me now,
She's been with me now quite a long, long time
And I feel fine."
The last note hung in the air, everyone in awe at the depths Finn was able to take the song. Rachel stared at Finn with complete adoration, and Finn smiled at the response he got from her.
Kurt looked over at Blaine and whispered, "I feel fine anytime he's around me now, and he's around me now, almost all the time and I feel fine."
