A/N: Alright, I thought I honestly would have written the choreography of the performance better, but you can see for yourself. Some major plot points come across and we see how they make some people truly feel. Enjoy!
D/N: The characters of Glee within this story are not owned by me.
The Glee Club members were putting on costumes and make-up for the Monster Mash tonight. Only two hours to go and Mr. Shue wanted one last rehearsal in full costumes as a just in case. The dancers were warming up and stretching, the singers were warming up their voices and Kurt was warming up his hands and wrists.
Through-out the last hour, on his way to the dressing rooms and getting ready in his mummy costume, his cell phone flashed brightly at him with text messages from Blaine. They varied from him being a little late to he was going to try his best to at least visit him tonight, no matter what time it would be.
He looked at his latest message from him, it reading that Blaine was still at his school in a Warblers meeting and that he'll leave as soon as he could. Kurt rested his chin in his palm and sighed, re-reading the message over and over.
Moments later he felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking up into the mirror in front of him, he saw Rachel in her witch costume. Kurt waved at her and smirked. She pointed towards the stage then held both hands out in front of her, palms facing her and wiggled her fingers; then pointed at him, 'They're waiting for you.'
He nodded and finished tucking in the scraps of cloth around his wrists, making sure no one saw any of his cuts underneath. It was already enough that people were suspecting, but he didn't want anyone to fully know. He had a session just a little while ago, but he used medical bandages and cotton to cover it, and to soak the excess blood.
Kurt agreed to be the mummy on one condition with Mr. Shue... he couldn't have his hair messed up by the bandages. And Mr. Shue told Kurt not to bandage his hands so people could see them well. -Well, at least the first couple of rows or people who had extremely good eyesight.
Everyone made their way to the stage to do one last rehearsal. After a quick, all-cast vocal warm up (excluding Kurt), they took they're places. A loud crack of thunder roared through the building and made some of the members jump. Kurt looked around confused and saw nothing scary. He looked at Mr. Shue, who was looking up at the ceiling along with countless of others. Ah, it was raining. Judging by the way people jumped, it was thundering and lightening as well, Kurt assumed. Hopefully either the rain would either come right now and get over with, or it would come after the performance and football game. But hopefully not during.
The sky was dark with purple clouds. Judging by other members' and audience reactions, they were roaring again. It seemed that it never rained, just hovered over campus waiting for just the right moment. The football game was close in their scores. McKinley had 16 points were as Athens had 18. When the clock hit 1:50, it was half time.
Some Glee members felt rain drops hit them on exposed skin as they crossed paths with the football members to get onto the field. Kurt looked around for Blaine, but he was nowhere to be found. He scanned the crowd multiple times and grew worried. A big force hit him though and he almost fell over. There it was, one of Amizio's crew charged into him and made it look like an accident. But Kurt knew the truth and saw it when they all laughed as they walked away.
He shrugged the notion off and went to take center stage on the field. Then, he waited for Mr. Shue to give him cues as to when to start the performance.
Blaine turned off his windshield wipers as he parked his car in the McKinley parking lot. The drive was rainy and he saw it heading towards the football field, right at the edge of the bleachers.
He grabbed his keys plus a bouquet of flowers that wanted to give to Kurt and bolted out of the car, running towards the field, hoping he made it in time. However, shortly after running, he heard the music start, "Fuck!" He sped up just as it started raining harder. Soon, it was pouring on the outskirts of the field, slowly making its way over to the field.
He ran down the major hallway onto the way of the stands and heard the words of the song begin. Just as he went all the way through the hall, he looked around and immediately saw on his right, the performance. Coach Beiste, a woman he recognized from before, told him to stay there until the performance was finished before grabbing his seat as to not interfere with the show. There was Kurt, front and center in his mummy costume. Blaine thought it was adorable as he smiled and enjoyed the performance.
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
Kurt started signing when Mr. Shue pointed at him after the long introduction. Deciding that this was probably one of Kurt's rare solo performances, he put his heart and soul into the signing and dancing. Pretty much as if he was Bobby "Boris" Pickett himself. The members behind him crouched low and started swaying back and forth as he began.
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The girls repeated the same line, as Kurt did Boris's lines. The members crossed each others paths, spinning whenever they went in front of another. Soon, the boys were across from the girls and signed back and forth to each other. Blaine smiled to himself, enjoying the performance.
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
As the characters were mentioned, they stepped up and did a move for themselves. Such as Mike Chang being a zombie and doing a quick break dance; Artie as Wolf Man and spinning 'round and 'round in his chair; then Finn as Dracula and scuffling around, mis-coordinated. Some members as well as Finn himself laughed at his inability to dance effectively.
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
The members did the twist when mentioned, the mashed potato, the Charlie Brown and more equally cheesy moves that made them laugh and just generally have a good time. A loud crack from the clouds above went off and soon droplets of water went to downright pouring. Still, they continued onto the finale.
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
After finishing the last words, the members cheered and jumped for themselves. The crowd getting up and applausing along with the Glee Club.
Blaine decided that this was his chance. He ran after Kurt and tackled him into a hug, surprising him. Kurt gasped in surprise and jumped up and down. The two boys held their embrace for a moment or two before letting go.
Blaine patted his chest upwards twice, making sure the flowers didn't fall, 'Great!' and smiled.
Kurt smiled back and signed, 'Thank you!'
Blaine looked down and saw a slight pink in Kurts costume bandages. He furrowed his brow and lightly grazed his fingers over them. Kurt looked down to see what Blaine was so concerned over and saw. Kurt froze and thought quickly. He couldn't let Blaine see. He slowly started pulling his arm away but Blaine had gotten a firm grasp.
Still sore from earlier, Kurt grimmaced and tried to pull away again. Blaine looked into Kurt's eyes and saw the pain. He had to get to the bottom of this and find out what exactly was going on. "Did Kurt hurt himself? No...," he thought as he started unwrapping the layers of bandages, "It couldn't be. Kurt would never hurt himself. He didn't seem that type of person."
Kurt kept on pulling away, sometimes crying out in pain. Until finally it showed. The cuts that Kurt did to himself over months and just earlier today. Blaine just stared, not in shock, but with sadness. Blaine's eyes watered and he hoped it didn't show, or people could think it was the rain. He looked up at Kurt with the same expression he gave to the cuts.
Kurt swallowed and pulled his arm away, hiding it and covering up the markings. He hated seeing Blaine like this, that worried expression on his face with tears rolling down. Blaine made a 'Y' from his forehead and pulled it away from his head, 'Why?'
Kurts tears swelled up as well, but he couldn't answer. The reason would make him pathetic and low. After moments of Kurt just staring at Blaine. Kurt shook his head as he saw Blaine backing away and shrugging.
"No!" Kurt verbally said as he reached out to Blaine, but it was too late. Blaine threw the bouquet of flowers at Kurts feet and walked away. Kurt just stared at Blaine walking until he left his sight. As soon as he turned the corner, Kurt bursted out in tears and sat down by the flowers. He picked them up and held them close to his chest, thinking of the most horrible thing he's kept from Blaine.
