Love Me Dead
A/N: Hey guys! Just, welp, thank you for the alerts! I got like a lot in and I was surprised. I swear I'll try my best to update often, and trust me plot bunnies are killing me to get everything written down for once rather than playing them in my head and just leaving them there.
This chapter was actually supposed to be like, two different chapters and happen at different times, but I really wanted to get this introduced so for future conflict and stuffs. Anyways, enjoy!
"Okay boo, stop holding out on us." Mercedes said bright and early Monday morning as Kurt shuffled his things into his locker. Giving her a look over the locker door, he didn't say anything. "You know what I'm talking about. Tell me about Blaine."
"I have no idea what there is to tell you about Blaine." Kurt stated, grabbing his A.P. English book and shut his locker cautiously. Mercedes only gave him a look that Kurt read as her, I'm-not-playing look.
"Please Kurt. I'm half offended I had to find out from Puck." Gripping her books tighter, she laced arms with the taller boy and the two strode down the busy hallway. "You know, if you're dating the boy all of us will be happy for you."
"Wait what?" Kurt said, stopping short looking half amused and half upset. "I am not dating Blaine. I'm not even sure if he's gay or not. It's not something you ask someone over coffee. He doesn't even seem like the type."
"Then why did Puck see you two there every day as he went to check why you're late on coming back to the dorms?" Mercedes called out. "Boo, you've spent most of Glee practice or your extra time watching The Warblers or with the head Warbler himself."
"We're friends Cedes. It's like asking why you and Puck hang out." Kurt said, opening the door for her.
"Uh, we don't." Mercedes replied, but nonetheless let the conversation drop, if there was nothing between the two, there was nothing between them.
"Hey Kurt!" Rachel called out as she walked up to his locker, a bright smile on her face, and though Rachel Berry could be one of the most annoying creatures on the earth, Kurt didn't mind her all too much.
"Howdy Rachel." Kurt bellowed back in order of his attire today, cow boys. Smiling as he finished piling everything into his locker that he didn't need, and everything he did need into his messenger bag, he hoisted it over his shoulder and walked with Rachel to get to the Glee club practice today with the Warblers.
"So, I just wanted to say on behalf of the entire Glee club, we're all so happy that you found someone and even though Santana keeps making lewd comments about his, err, ass, that we love you the same and hope you guys will come to couple night with us this Friday." Rachel stated, and couples night was a tradition in Glee club.
Every Friday since the second term of last year the couples would either go on dates or double dates until they decided to have a joint movie night. Kurt looked at Rachel with an annoyed frown, and as they walked into Glee club, Kurt stood at the center of the room, ignoring the presence of the Warblers, because if he thought about them it'd make him too nervous.
"I just want to make it known that a certain member of our glee club has starter a rumor about the lot of you, and surprisingly included Rachel for once, but it is a lie. I am single." Kurt said, eyeing Puck before striding over to the members of his club giving small whispers amongst them and sat next to Mercedes waiting for Mr. Schuester.
"So wait, you and Blaine aren't a thing?" Puck asked as he leaned over from Kurt's other side, eyeing the confused Warblers to their side. Rolling his eyes, Kurt shook his head.
"Because I hang out with a guy doesn't mean we're a thing. I hang out with you, we're not a thing." Kurt explained, Puck just pursed his lips, crossed his arms and sat back into his chair.
"Alright everybody! Are you guys excited for Christmas break in two weeks or is it just me?" Mr. Schuester asked as he walked in, piles of papers in his hands indicating this week's song.
"I just hope it doesn't end up like last year." Kurt said, eyeing Finn and Rachel who broke up and were trying to get back together after Quinn told them the truth about Beth and everything went spiraling downwards.
"Hey." Rachel said showing the offense in her voice, but Kurt only shrugged.
"No, I agree. And then we had to play house with Brittany too because the whole Santa thing." Artie said, earning a grunt of approval for most of the other members.
"Well, no one's pregnant this year that seems like a good sign." Tina said turning around and giving Kurt a little high five.
"Okay, well as hectic as last year and the year before were, this year is sure to be better. But until then, Figgins has something to say." Schuester said before he moved out of the way to give the principle the floor.
"Right, well hello glee children. I would like to inform you all that we will be having an end of year pep rally for the sake of ending Friday's school day early. No one wants to be here." Figgins said, causing most of the kids in the glee club to snort. "We've invited the Warblers to sing as well, so please think of theme appropriate songs. We do not want another Ticking Tocking incident or a salt and pepper one." And with that he left the room leaving the kids bursting out laughing with the memories of some of their not so fantastic pep rallies.
"Hey, the Push It one was actually pretty hard to do with only a day to put it together." Artie stated as the rest of the group busted out laughing.
"It wasn't as bad as the Toxic incident." Kurt said, eying a flustered teacher who only coughed and walked up the white board and wrote a simple word.
Beauty.
"The theme of this week is beauty. Songs with the word beauty in them, songs about beauty or songs that make you feel beautiful." Mr. Schuester said, passing out a song in example they were to do before the day ended.
"Kurt coffee?" Blaine asked as he walked out of glee club practice behind the Mercedes.
"Of course. Where else would I go right now?" Kurt asked almost offended that the other even needed to ask, but shot a small smile anyways.
"What song are you going to do?" Rachel asked Finn, the two walking in front of Blaine and Kurt holding hands. Finn looked confused trying to think of a song that would work, but ultimately couldn't pin point one. "I think I'm going to do 'You are Beautiful'."
"Of course you pick that song Rachel." Kurt teased as they stopped walking to see some of the football players. Rolling his eyes, Kurt kept walking in the direction they were in because they were blocking the exit. But before he could even reach the football players, his body lurched to the side and slammed into one of the lockers, causing Kurt who wasn't prepared for it to bang his face into the locker cutting his cheek effectively and falling to the ground.
"God Karofsky, what the hell if your problem?" Finn roared grabbing him by his letterman jacket's sleeve and slamming him up against the locker as Rachel glared while helping Kurt up. "I thought we were over this bullshit."
"I don't need any homos polluting my school Finn. He's already turning you into one." Karofsky bit back, causing Kurt to bite his tongue because he knew the truth about the other but refused to force him out.
"Just, let it go Finn. He's an uneducated asshole who deserves to rot in hell for being a homophobic idiot who can only think with his fists and not his brain. If he even has one that is." Blaine finally spoke up, glaring at Karofsky with an intensity that sent shivers down Kurt's spine. Before anyone else could speak, Blaine grabbed Kurt by the arm and dragged him away.
"God, I absolutely hate people like that." Blaine raved as he stormed into the Lima Bean, still holding on to Kurt's hand tightly which gave Kurt a reason to swoon.
"It's okay Blaine. I'm used to it by now. Karofsky's an in the closest asshole who likes to take out his problems on me." Kurt mumbled in a pathetic attempt to think straight with the other's hand wrapped firmly around his own.
"Wait, in the closet? You mean he's gay?" Blaine asked whispering the last word as Kurt stopped short as they got on line; he hadn't seriously said that out loud had he? Shocked he let his moth gap as he stared at Blaine, trying to think of something to cover it up. "How do you know?"
"He kissed me last year when I called him out for being an asshole." Kurt's words flew out of his mouth before he even had the chance to stop himself, but after finally letting someone know he felt as though a weight was lifted off his chest, well part of one.
"Oh my god. That must have sucked. And you haven't told anyone?" Blaine asked as they walked up to the register. "Uh, I'll have one medium drip and a Grande nonfat mocha with my friend with the layers."
"You know my coffee order?" Kurt asked, as Blaine looked at him shuffling money in his hands.
"Of course dummy. Here you go." Blaine said giving the cashier the money telling her to keep the change. "And don't think about paying me back."
"Right." Kurt mumbled feeling slightly sad that Blaine's warm touch was now gone from him. "But, I haven't told anyone because I know what it's like being forced out of the closet, so please don't tell anyone either."
"I understand perfectly well Kurt. I was forced out too." Blaine said, dipping the biscotti he ordered into his coffee before eating it, looking nonchalant at the fact he just came out to Kurt.
"Wait, you're gay?" Kurt asked giving Blaine a dumbfounded look, earning a laugh from the shorter boy.
"Is that really a surprise?" Blaine asked, leaving Kurt to reevaluate the past week he spent almost most of his time with Blaine, were they possibly becoming a thing?
"I-I, you beat the stereotype completely." Kurt said, offering his best smile as he passed the hot liquid between his hands.
"So what's the deal with that guy anyways?" Blaine asked, hazel eyes meeting with Kurt's glasz ones. Kurt pursed his lips wondering if he should tell the whole story, or tell the short cut one that he'd told everyone else, but seeing as how he knew most of it already, was there even a need to say any more? Kurt narrowed his eyes on Blaine's innocent ones who waited patiently for his response.
"He's just a bully. I guess he bullies me because I'm open and proud and he doesn't know how to be. He just has problems." Kurt said, sighing, deciding against telling the entire truth.
"Right. Well, courage Kurt. It's all you really need." Blaine said, reaching over the table to grab onto Kurt's hand, giving it a light squeeze, returning the butterflies into Kurt's stomach.
"I'm sure I'll be fine." Kurt mumbled taking his coffee in his other had as he sipped absentmindedly.
"Never mind everything I said yesterday. I am in love with Blaine Warbler." Kurt said, walking up to Mercedes' locker, earning a laugh before she shut it and looked at him.
"I'm sure love is a very strong term, but elaborate." She said lacing arms with Kurt as the two walked down the hallway.
"He knows my coffee order, his hands are perfect size for mine, and he's gay." Kurt stated, checking off the little list that he made in the air, before stopping and standing in front of her. "He has the voice of an angel, and he walked me to my dorms yesterday so Puck didn't have to come looking for me. Blaine is the perfect gentleman."
"Boo, I'm really happy for you." Mercedes laughed, "Maybe this year you'll have someone special."
"One can—" But before Kurt could finish his sentence, he was slammed into his locker, thanking his reflexes for protecting his face, which still stung for yesterday. Picking himself up, he glared into the back of Karofsky's head.
"Oh hell no. He did not just slam my boo into a locker. I'm going to mess him—" Mercedes ranted as she was about to lunge after him and probably claw his eyes out if Kurt didn't stand in her way.
"Don't worry about it. He's just an idiot." Kurt said, smiling as he picked his things up and walked to class.
"This needs to stop, like now." Santana said, "Kurt's my boy and if Karofsky wants to get his little ass kicked so hard that he cannot use it anymore he can just keep doing what he's doing. Imma get all Lima Heights on him because I'm getting tired of watching Kurt get hurt all the time. I don't even like Teen Gay that much too."
"I love how you called me 'your boy' and then said you didn't even like me that much." Kurt stated, bewildered as he half listened to the conversation going around the choir room.
"Just keeping it real." Santana stated, leaning back into her seat and crossing her leg over the other.
"Right, as much as I hate to agree with Santana she's right. Karofsky's gone out of hand again and he needs to back off." Rachel said, nodding her head as she looked around the room.
"I would say talking to him again, but last time Sam's eye didn't look so hot for a week." Mike chimed in, shrugging his shoulders. "I don't know how we're supposed to stop him."
"Wait, you guys fought him last time?" Blaine said, dragging a chair over, instantly interested in the conversation. Smiling lightly at Kurt, he turned back to Mike.
"Yeah, neither parties really won." Mike said scratching the back of his neck slightly.
"Because you're going it the wrong way. And eye for an eye is not the way to go; you need to get at him in a way that can call him out in front of the entire school without them really knowing." Blaine stated, giving Kurt an idea.
"I think I know exactly what we need to do. And it's just in time for tomorrows pep rally." Kurt smiled devilishly as he leaned in and told everyone the plan.
Principle Figgins tapped on the microphone in front of him three times before calling for silence even though no one in the entire gym was speaking. Kurt looked out at the crowd, eyes finding Karofsky instantaneously, and already feeling nervous. Maybe this was a bad idea.
Before Kurt could say anything about it they got their cue and Kurt went to space, hoping that this would work. Taking a deep breath, the music started.
Love me cancerously.
Kurt started; boring his eyes into Karofsky's who was looking deeply into Kurt's. Kurt's make up shadowed around his face, making him look like he had a ton of bruises around his eyes making the glasz color stand out. Around Kurt were Rachel, Finn, Puck and Quinn holding onto a part of Kurt's stomach swaying slightly before breaking apart.
High maintenance" means you're a gluttonous queen,
narcissistic and mean.
Kill me romantically, fill my soul with vomit
then ask me for a piece of gum.
Moving his steps along with the music, he made sure to never let his eyes leave Karofsky's as he watched the other swallow. Smirking, he did a turn as the sweater he was wearing came to be ripped off by Tina and Mercedes revealing his shirt he used in Born This Way, revealing LIKES BOYS in big bold black letters, complemented by his ripped black jeans that were form fitted and a pair of old beaten up black converse high tops.
You're awful, I love you!
Almost hissing out the words, he made sure to emphasizes the 'I love you' if only to get his point across. Watching Karofsky squirm under his lasting gaze only brought the smirk to tug higher onto his lips.
How's your new boy? Does he know about me?
You've got the mark of the beast.
You're born of a jackal! You're beautiful!
Feeling every weight that had been on his shoulders because of Karofsky being slowly let off of his shoulders, Kurt was getting louder and more into the feelings of the song. Letting his voice get deeper and louder at the word boy, he watched as Karofsky's eyes fluttered closed probably from an oncoming headache that was Kurt induced. But hearing the roar of the crowd at the slightly vulgar song, he didn't care.
Wha' 'bout this sign on my head
it says "Oh love me dead!"
Finding himself half screaming the last word, Kurt didn't care what was going to happen next. He just felt like the revenge he needed on the years of torment Karofsky had given him was getting ever so slightly paid back and there wasn't a greater feeling. Moving around almost frantically as the others chimed the last four 'love me dead' lines, on the last dead, Kurt let himself collapse on the floor with everyone else forming a circle around him, watching him almost knowingly.
A/N: And that's all for now folks! I hope you enjoyed chapter two~. Review?
