A/N:
Oh my god, I am so sorry for the wait!
BUT, I have a valid excuse!
See, my computer thought it would be a good idea to totally fuck itself and stop working for weeks, and we only just got it fixed, so it was out of my hands (Shue…)
Anyway, I'm going to stop talking now.
The lyrics that are BOLD are being sung by the backup vocalists.
Enjoy ;)
DISCLAIMER: I'm running out of witty things to say about not owning Glee…
Kurt walked uncertainly up to Hayley's house. He hesitated before knocking. Am I really going to do this? Oh god. Please don't be home please don't be home!
The door swung open to reveal a very surprised Hayley standing there wearing blue jeans and a black t-shirt with a picture of a cloud puking rainbows (Where the hell does she find this stuff?).
"Kurtsie? What are you doing here?" She asked, but Kurt couldn't answer. Hayley wasn't wearing gloves for the first time since he's known her, and he couldn't help but to stare. All over her wrists, forearms and even her hands were scars, the white lines standing out against her tanned skin. The worst patch was at her wrists. Hayley glanced down to her arms, and slowly put them behind her back.
"Kurt, hasn't your mother ever told you that it's rude to stare?" She asked, her smile not reaching her eyes.
"Well, my mother's dead… so…" Kurt said softly.
"Oh wow. I feel like an asshole," Hayley muttered. "Sorry about that."
"Sorry about staring. What- what happened to you?" He asked carefully.
"I was a bit bat-shit insane last year and tried to kill myself. I'm nowhere near as bad now, but yeah. Let's not talk about that. Um, what brings you here this fine morning?" She asked, clearing her throat.
"Oh, right. Well, I really needed to talk to you."
"If you're here to confess your undying love for me, I have to say that I'm flattered, but you're really not my type," Hayley joked, lifting the mood once again. Kurt chuckled.
"I'm offended, Hayley. I thought we had something special?" Kurt faked being upset. "But seriously, I need to talk to you about Blaine. Can I come in?"
"Maybe not, seeing as the very person you want to talk about is upstairs with his brother right now. I'm still on suicide watch, so I can't be by myself," she explained.
"Harley? Who is it?" They heard Blaine call.
"Cable guy! I'll be up in a minute!" She yelled smoothly, stepping outside and closing the door.
"You are far too good of a liar," Kurt said, shaking his head.
"It's a talent. Now what's up?"
"It's just that Blaine's been avoiding me since our movie night last week, and I wanted to know if he was angry at me or something," Kurt admitted. Hayley shook her head.
"I am going to kill him," She muttered. Way to ruin the plan, Blaine. Way to fucking go.
"What?"
"Nothing. I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you. He hasn't mentioned anything." I give him one instruction. ONE FUCKING INSTRUCTION. To act natural and not screw anything up. Does ignoring Kurt seem natural, Blaine? DOES IT?
"He told me lots of stuff last week, and I was worried that he was embarrassed or whatever. I don't know. Maybe I'm just being silly. I just miss my friend," He said softly.
"Don't even worry about it. I'm sure Blaine will come around. Just go and have fun at dinner with the New Directions kids tonight, and everything will work out." I am going to murder that boy.
"Wait, how did you know about dinner?" Shit.
"I'm psychic. Now, I have to go before Blainers gets… um worried or something, but I shall see you soon. Maybe. I mean, it's not like- you know, I… yeah. Bye, Kurtsie." Smooth, Hayley. Really fucking smooth.
She hurried back into the house before she dug a bigger hole for herself, leaving a very confused Kurt behind.
"What is that girl planning?" He muttered to himself, as he climbed into his car and drove away.
Hayley ran to her bedroom where the twins were waiting.
"You're an idiot! You are actually an idiot! Avoiding him, Joker! Wow, yeah. That's not going to make Kurt suspicious at all!" Hayley yelled.
"Dude, you were avoiding him? What the fuck?" Everett asked.
"Ok, ok! I'm sorry! I just didn't know what to do. I've never kept anything from him before. Well, apart from the whole 'I'm in love with him' business. I just didn't know how to act! And how the hell did you know about me avoiding him?" Blaine asked.
"Because I wasn't talking to the Cable guy, dipshit. That was Kurt. He came over to ask me if you were angry at him, because according him, you haven't talked to the guy all week!" Hayley exclaimed.
"He thinks I'm angry at him? Shit. I need to call him or something," Blaine said, searching for his phone.
"No, no. You'll do no such thing. I just convinced Kurt to forget about it for now. If you call him, it'll just fuck everything up again," Hayley said quickly.
"But he's going to hate me!"
"No he won't, because you'll be explaining everything tonight. Just trust me on this. Now come on. The whole point of this Batman marathon was to keep you distracted and calm. So let's just start the movie," She demanded, throwing herself on the bed, pulling out her Blackberry.
"What are you doing?" Everett asked.
"Texting Mercedes for damage control. Don't worry, boys. I assure you; tonight is going to be perfect."
FROM: Hayley West
Everything's ready. The Joker has arrived. Feel free to enter the lair.
Mercedes scanned the message, rolling her eyes at the bad lingo Hayley insisted on using.
"Why are we waiting out here again?" Kurt asked.
"I felt sick. It's all good, let's go," Mercedes said quickly.
"Ok, what is with everyone acting so strange today?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about, boy. Now let's move, before Santana eats all of the breadsticks," She said, tugging Kurt through the door. The whole restaurant was clear for their private party, and it was decorated beautifully. Nothing tacky and stupid, just strings of fairy lights and streamers. There was a stage in the front of the room where a band was setting up their instruments. Kurt recognized the members of Infusion of the Soul up there.
"What is going on? Where's everyone else?" Kurt asked weakly, as Mercedes led them to their table.
"No idea. Must be a special occasion or something. I just hope the live band isn't as crappy as they normally are," Mercedes said, sliding into a booth, and gestured for Kurt to sit next to her. She reached under the table and quickly typed out a message as Kurt chatted with Sam.
TO: Hayley West
We're ready.
The reply was almost instant.
FROM: Hayley West
Commencing Operation Klaine.
Take your position, ladies.
Tina looked up and nodded at Mercedes. She must have received the same message.
"I'll be right back, boo," She said, patting Kurt's leg as she walked to the stage with Tina.
"What are you doing!" He called.
Hayley took this as her cue to step out from behind the curtains. She walked forward to the microphone, smirking at Kurt's shocked expression. She wasn't wearing her usual concert attire, instead opting for a little black lacy dress with heels and leather fingerless gloves.
"Hey guys. I'm Hayley, and we are Infusion of the Soul. We don't usually do stuff like this, but we were presented with an opportunity that was just too good to refuse. In Infusion of the Soul, we like to think that we, along with our friends, our fans and everyone who supports us are one big family. And when one of us needs a favour, we do whatever we can to help them. So just for now, I'm giving up my position as lead singer, and giving it to a member of my family, who has something very important to say to a very special person," Hayley said, with a wink to Kurt. She stepped backwards, standing with Mercedes and Tina as Blaine took to the stage.
"No way…" Kurt muttered.
Blaine looked good. Well, he always did, but tonight he just looked spectacular. He was wearing a suit, but still managed to look as calm and casual as he normally does. He walked up to the microphone, searching through the audience (well, the New Directions members) for a moment before laying eyes on Kurt. He smiled slowly.
"I'm not really good at talking and stuff, especially when it comes to saying important things. I get all tongue-tied and usually end up making a huge fool of myself, which is why I decided to sing for you all tonight. This song is dedicated to someone who is really important to me. It basically says everything that I want to. So, this is for you Kurt Hummel," Blaine said.
Kurt was frozen in his char as the music started, and Mercedes, Tina and Hayley started with their backup vocals.
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do
Blaine pulled the microphone off the stand and stepped forward.
Let me introduce myself,
I'm all smiles.
You may know me as a former 'most love only last a while.'
Pessimistic, so realistic,
You get the picture.
I met you now my world is so much bigger.
Upside down, off the ground is what you do.
When you touch me, it's like the very first time.
I'd be lucky, to say that you're mine.
I still get those stupid butterflies,
But it's just what you do,
I'm loving everything you do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
Blaine jumped off the stage as he continued to sing.
Crazy how it happened so fast,
Truly blows my mind.
Going on a hunt for four leaf clovers,
To wake up to that smile each sunrise.
Whenever I'm not by your side,
I get home sick.
A little pathetic, with a dash of ooey gooey so romantic.
Upside down off the ground, god I love you.
Upside down off the ground is what you do.
When you touch me, it's like the very first time.
I'd be lucky, to say that you're mine.
I still get those stupid butterflies,
but it's just what you do.
I'm loving everything you do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
I'm loving everything you do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
He ran right up to Kurt, and stood in front of him, smiling.
Yes sir you came and you took my breath,
My head is feeling a little light.
All right, I hope that you feel it too.
Yes sir you came and you took my breath,
My head is feeling a little light.
All right, I hope that you feel it too.
Oh everything you do.
I still get those stupid butterflies,
But it's just what you do.
Blaine took Kurt's hand and tugged him to his feet, pulling him back to the stage.
(Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.)
When you touch me, it's like the very first time.
And I'd be lucky, to say that you're mine.
(Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.)
I still get those stupid butterflies,
But it's just what you do.
I'm loving everything you do.
(Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.)
Everything you do,
Everything you do.
Whoa-oh,
whoa- oh oh oh oh oh.
(Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.)
I'm loving every single thing you do,
He moved in close, and almost whispered the final line to Kurt.
I'm so in love with everything you do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do.
Do do do do do do do do do do do.
The music faded away, and everyone was silent, watching the two boys standing in front of the stage. Kurt couldn't help but let a few tears fall down his cheeks as he stared at a very nervous Blaine, who was clinging onto Kurt's hand and holding the microphone in the other.
"I- I love you, Kurt," Blaine said softly. "And I guess this is just a really over the top way of asking you to be my boyfriend. I mean, if you want to. It's fine if you don't. Well, it would kind of suck, but it's up to you, really I just- Yeah. Making a fool of myself, don't mind me. This is why I wasn't allowed to t- mmph!"
In Kurt's defence, the Blaine's babbling was so incredibly adorable, and he didn't show any signs of stopping any time soon, so of course, the only logical way to shut him up was to gently pull him in for a kiss. Blaine stood there, shocked for a moment before he responded enthusiastically, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist to pull him closer. They both broke away laughing as Hayley, Everett (who was hiding in the backstage area), the entire New Directions group and even the Breadstick waitresses and chefs started clapping and cheering.
"GET SOME!" Someone, probably Santana, screamed.
"So, wait, was that a yes?" Blaine asked. Kurt rolled his eyes and smiled.
"Of course it is!" He exclaimed. They kissed once more before Hayley and Everett and the New Directions joined them.
"I told you it would work! I fucking told you so!" Hayley exclaimed.
"How did I know you were behind this?" Kurt asked, not letting go of Blaine's hand as he hugged her.
"Because it was perfect. And I'm an evil genius," She said with a smile.
"Did you really book out the entire restaurant?" He asked.
"That was all Blaine's idea, boo," Mercedes answered. "You two staying for dinner?" She asked Everett and Hayley.
"Fuck yes! I am so hungry. Let's get food!" Everett exclaimed, dashing off to find a menu.
"I am not related to him," Blaine muttered, and Kurt laughed.
"Oh, and for the record," Kurt said, turning back to his boyfriend (his fucking boyfriend!). "I love you, too," he whispered.
"I'm glad," Blaine said softly, smiling in wonder at his new beautiful boyfriend. Kurt led Blaine to their seats, watching as their friends joked and laughed, and still holding hands under the table. They've both been waiting for months to be able to hold eachother like that, and now that they can, they weren't letting go.
THE ENDING IS SO FLUFFAAAY!
*Coughs* don't mind me.
Anyway, I'm not done with this yet. One chapter to go. There are still a few more things that haven't been resolved…
The song used in this chapter was Everything You Do by a band called He is We.
(I changed a few of the words as well, but still. The song is amazing and so adorable!)
Anyway, review if you wish aaand Chapter 12 should be up in a few days.
Thanks for reading :)

P.S you know Hayley's shirt? The one with the cloud puking rainbows? I'm totally wearing it right now! There's a picture of it on my blog somewhere!
