Chapter 29: rocking Warbler's

Some of the boys could hardly contain their excitement for tomorrow and were being loud and mucking around. Kurt was exhausted from Nationals and was having trouble getting enthusiastic for tomorrow when all he really wanted to do was go to sleep.
Nick was tired too and wanted a good night sleep but the other's had plans of being loud.

"This is ridiculous," Nick moaned, putting a pillow over his face.
"I just want to sleep," Kurt moaned.
"Should we check the other rooms and see if they are sleeping?" Nick asked.
Kurt nodded and the two grabbed their pillows and hurried out of the room and went to check the other rooms.

Apparently they had missed the memo because one room was having a pillow fight (Blaine and Jeff getting really into it) and the other's were singing.
"What do we do now?" Kurt asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I don't know," Nick said. "Sleep out in the hallway?"
"Better than nothing," Kurt said and they headed back to their room and sank against the wall.

They put their pillows behind their backs and leant against the wall, eyes closed.
"Peace and quiet," Nick sighed and snuggled against the wall. Kurt didn't answer, already drifting to sleep.
"What are you doing?" Santana asked and Kurt snapped his eyes open to see Santana towering over him.

"Sleeping," Kurt said, shutting his eyes again.
"You do know that what the rooms are for," Santana said, questioning his sanity.
"They boys won't shut up," Nick huffed.
"Birds sleep in trees Santana," Brittany said and Kurt snorted.
"Huh?" Nick asked.
"You are a bird so you should sleep in a tree," Brittany said.

Nick sent Kurt a confused look and Kurt just giggled tiredly.
"I'll explain later," Kurt said. Brittany and Santana slid down the wall and sat next to the two boys, lying their heads on their shoulders.
"What are you doing out here?" Kurt asked.

"One of the cheerleaders is having a bitch fit," Santana shrugged. "Her voice was getting on my nerves. Too much like Berry's so I left with Brittany."
"You guys were awesome today," Nick said tiredly.
"We know," Brittany said. "We have a trophy to prove it."
Nick snorted quietly. The four of them were drifting off to sleep out in the hall way, the quietness nice.

A loud fog horn sounded above them and they all jumped up in shock.
"What do you think you are doing?" Sue asked, hands on her hips.
"Sleeping?" Kurt said.
"Get back to your rooms," Sue said. "I need the Warbler's to win nationals so I can rub in Will's face."

"Yes coach," Kurt yawned and with that they knocked on the door. They couldn't hear anything inside and hadn't taken a key with them. They frowned and knocked again. No answer. They tried the other doors but there was no answer either.
"Great," Kurt moaned and banged his head against the wall.
"They've all passed out and won't let us in," Nick groaned.

"What are you still doing in the hallway?" Sue asked and they both spun. Sue was good at sneaking up on people.
"We're locked out and nobody is answering," Kurt answered. Sue rolled her eyes and locked at her watch.

"It's nearly midnight," Sue said and Kurt frowned.
"How long did we sleep in the hallway for?" Kurt asked Nick who shrugged.
"Follow me," Sue said. They followed her to the elevator and rode it down to the lobby. They went to the front desk and waited for someone to serve them but nobody came.
"This is ridiculous. You'll sleep with the cheerleaders," Sue growled and marched them back up to their floor and opened the door.

Kurt and Nick found Santana and Brittany sharing a bed. They shrugged and climbed into the bed with them.
"No funny business," Sue said. "Wait, what am I saying. You're all gay."
With that she stalked off and Kurt and Nick fell asleep.

Kurt woke up with someone's tongue in his ear. He bolted up with a squeal.
"Brittany!" Kurt yelped, wiping his ear.
"Morning Kurt," Brittany said happily.
"What was that for?" Kurt groaned, smacking Nick on the arm to get him to wake up.

"Santana said to wake you up like that," Brittany said and Kurt rolled his eyes.
"What time is it?" Nick asked, sitting up.
"Nearly 9:30," Santana said, coming up to the bed. Kurt and Nick's eyes widened.
"The competition starts in an hour!" Kurt cried. They scrambled off the bed and ran right into Sue.
"I've got an extra key card for you," Sue said. Kurt grabbed it and ducked passed her, ripping the door open.

Nick and Kurt bolted down the hallway to their room, passing Blaine, Jeff, Wes, David and Thad who were looking worried.
"Where have you been?" Wes demanded as they tried to get the door open.
"Slept with the cheerleaders," Kurt said, getting the door open and dashing inside.
"Hurry up and get dressed!" David cried before the door shut.

Nick and Kurt yanked on their uniforms and quickly did their hair before running back out with their stuff. The other's Warbler's were waiting, looking anxious and nervous. Bradley ushered them into their taxi's to take them to the hall where they would be competing. Once they were singed in, they hurried to the green room to get ready and warm up.
"What happened to you two?" Blaine asked, walking with Kurt. "The guys woke up and you weren't there."

"You all decided to be loud last night," Kurt said. "Nick and I wanted to sleep. We fell asleep in the hallway and coach Sylvester found us. You had all passed out and wouldn't open your doors so Sue put us in the Cheerio's room."
"Thanks for that guys," Nick said with a sarcastic grin and the other's looked sheepish.
"It's not fun waking up with a girl's tongue in your ear," Kurt huffed, trying to fix his tie.

"Wait, what?" Blaine asked, confused. Kurt shook his head and Wes called them over to warm up. The Warbler's would be the 6th to perform so they quickly warmed up and headed backstage. Vocal Adrenalin performed just before them and Kurt hated to admit but they were very good. Jesse stood backstage, looking smug.

When they were about to go on stage, Jesse stopped Kurt.
"Good luck," he smirked and Kurt scowled at him. They took their positions on stage and waited for the music to start up.

You think I'm pretty without an make up on

Blaine was leading them through their first song, Teenage Dream by Katy Perry. Kurt couldn't help but flash back to their rehearsal. Blaine had been super flirty with him as he sung it, wiggling his eyebrows when he got to the part about skin tight jeans. Kurt was just glad that his dad had never watched them perform it otherwise it would have led to a very awkward conversation that Kurt didn't want or need to have with his father.

As they sung Kurt could see the audience getting into it, dancing around in their seats and smiling brightly. Kurt could see the Warbler's smiling brightly and getting into it. They were having fun, Kurt realized. When it came to performing with New Directions they never really had fun with it as Rachel had always been correcting their performances or a drama had happened before hand. But with the Warbler's it didn't matter if they won or lost, they could have fun with it.

Kurt smiled brightly and harmonized in the background as Blaine danced around in front of them.
When the song came to an end everyone stood and clapped loudly, cheering hard. Blaine settled back in the group and then violins started.

Kurt stepped forward and took a deep breath.

Slumber my darling, thy mother is near
Guarding my dreams from all terror and fear

Their second song that had been chosen by the council was Slumber My Darling by Yo-yo Ma. The Warbler's hummed and harmonized in the background with the violins perfectly. It was sad, beautiful song and Kurt felt real emotion with it. The song was even more impressive as Kurt hit all the high notes with ease and perfection.

When the last notes echoed around the hall everyone stood and let out a thunderous applause. Kurt grinned and folded back into the Warbler's. Together they bowed as one and grinned happily at the audience. They hurried off stage and Kurt hugged Blaine tightly.
"You were breathtaking," Kurt breathed and kissed Blaine happily.

"My star," Blaine mumbled happily and kissed Kurt back.
They headed back to the green room to collect their things and went out to watch the rest of the performances. They had decided as a group that they wouldn't put their hopes in winning because that was silly and this was the first time they had ever been to Nationals.

The applauded each group that performed. Kurt was surprised to see the Cheerio's there, Sue having dragged them along to watch the Warbler's. Kurt was suspicious but didn't say anything. He had his suspicion that Sue was trying to rub this in to Will for Sue was cackling as she sent something from her phone.

"I recorded it for you," Santana said and Kurt grinned.
When it was all over the Warbler's slowly made their way to the front where their places were shown on a large board. Wes decided he would go look for them and they stood off the side. Blaine and Kurt held hand tightly, waiting nervously for returning.

Wes finally returned, his features perfectly schooled.
"Well?" Thad demanded.
"I'm really sorry guys," Wes said, shaking his head. "We're going to have to practice extra hard next year to because this year we only came in third!"

Kurt didn't know that boys could squeal that much but they could and did. They hugged each other tightly and laughed. Blaine grabbed Kurt and spun him around, laughing happily.
Bradley was ecstatic and herded them back into the taxi's to take them out for a traditional New York pizza.
"I can't believe we did it," Blaine gushed, face so adorable.

"We did it," Kurt breathed. If they could move on from Nationals and make it to the finals, well then they could do anything. Kurt believed that they could do it.

YAY! GO WARBLER'S! Hope you all enjoyed! Sorry for no lyrics in this one but I wanted to describe the feelings more! Hope you enjoyed!
