Music Composition: My Heart's Song

Blaine stared at the paper and hoped he had misread it. His music composition teacher handed out their monthly project syllabus and this was for the month of February. He should have guessed that it would be something about love and Valentine's Day.

'It's February and as we all await for spring to get here, Valentine's day gives us a crash course before love is wafting through the air. For this month's project I want each of you to write a love song. It can be about a loved one, a special someone, a pet, or even an inanimate object. Have fun and be creative.'

Blaine had a special someone, Kurt Hummel, but anytime he writes him a song he is at a loss for words that convey what he feels. He just doesn't know what to say without sounding clichéd, cheesy, or just dumb. He sighs as he continues to stare at the paper, not even realizing the bell rang, or that someone was standing behind him.

"Blaine?" Kurt asked.

Blaine jumped and turned around to see Kurt gripping his shoulder bag, looking at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Are you okay?" He asked still looking at Blaine.

"Uh, yeah, um, just uh, just going over my assignment just thinking of things to start it."

"You were meant to write songs, I know it'll be spectacular and amazing just. Like. You." Kurt punctuated the last word with a touch to the other boy's nose.

"Yeah, but I've never been able to successfully write a love song. Every time I attempt to it always comes out awful." Blaine said frustrated.

"Oh, well I know there is a love song somewhere in you and I will try and help you find it… If you want…" Kurt crouched down next to Blaine's desk.

"I would love that. You are my inspiration after all." Blaine smiled shyly.

Kurt kissed Blaine chastely on the lips and they both stood up, grabbing their bags, entwining their fingers, and headed for Blaine's dorm. Once there Blaine changed into his pajamas, and grabbed his guitar before heading back out to Kurt's dorm.

Kurt changed into his pajamas as Blaine settled on his bed, guitar, pen, and paper in hand, ready to write an epic love song, to, and for Kurt.

Kurt came out of the bathroom crawled in the bed, snuggling next to Blaine.

"Anything yet?" Kurt asked.

"No, all I can think of is 'roses are red, violets are blue, Kurt Hummel, I'm in love with you!'" Blaine chuckled.

"Wow!" Kurt failed to deadpan, " How about you just strum your guitar, envision what you want to write, and just go…" He offered lamely.

"Okay, that should be easy, I do that all of the time." Blaine winked.

Kurt blushed, and smiled shyly.

Blaine took the opportunity to kiss Kurt's pinking cheek before he sighed, closed his eyes, and just strummed random notes, picturing Kurt in his mind.

Kurt laid back and stared at his boyfriend in deep concentration. His eyebrows furrowed together, eyes tightly closed, lip in between his teeth, and a frustrated smile. Blaine went to play a note when Kurt leaned over and kissed his worried expression away and his hand slipped, and hit a chord that just clicked somehow.

Blaine pulled away quickly and stared into Kurt's eyes and everything came to him.

"Sorry-"

Kurt was cut off with a quick kiss from Blaine who pulled away smiling.

"No, I think I got it." Blaine practically squealed.

Kurt smiled and sat back in his place on the mattress.

Blaine strummed, starting with that magical chord, closing his eyes and just letting it flow.

" As I kiss your lips at night,

I think how dear you are to me,

A star that shines in the sky,

The best friend I was lucky to find.

As far as the ocean is wide,

Through miles and miles of sea,

You are someone special,

A true miracle to me.

As many stars that twinkle

Throughout the heavens above,

You will always be a reminder,

A reminder to what is love.

As far as the ocean is wide,

Through miles and miles of sea,

You are someone special,

A true miracle to me."

Blaine opened his eyes to see tears streaking Kurt's face, but a smile gracing his lips.

"What it good?" Blaine asked.

Kurt just nodded as he sniffled and wiped at his eyes. Blaine laid the guitar in his lap and cupped Kurt's face, thumbing the new tears threatening to fall.

"I love you Kurt, and I mean every word. That's my heart's song to you." Blaine kissed Kurt with everything he had.

"I love you to Blaine." Kurt pulled back for a breath, but was soon pulling Blaine back for more.
