Chapter 5 – A whole new side
Thursday morning and Kurt was struggling to force himself out of his bed let alone dragging his dumb ass into school to face Blaine. As h was getting dressed his phone buzzed.
From Mercedes
Hey white boy! Where were you yesterday I missed you :'( Don't forget Glee today that Blaine guy is singing today ;)
Xxx
As Kurt read the text over again he remembered that Rachel has challenged Blaine thinking h couldn't sing. Hell, Kurt didn't know either and wasn't really bothered.
...
The day passed rather quickly without bumping into Blaine. He had classes with Blaine yes, but Blaine didn't turn up to any of them. It was probably wise but Kurt kind of missed him.
At 3:00 pm Kurt headed off to Glee arm in arm with none other than Mercedes and they sat down together in the front row.
Other members of New Directions started to drift in eager to see Blaine's performance.
And, soon enough Blaine walked in but there was something different he was wearing dark wash jeans, a white button down, a grey cardigan and a red bowtie. Completely different from his Badboy image he created. The next thing Kurt noticed was that his hair wasn't stuck to his head, Kurt liked the new Blaine look.
As Mr Shuester came into Glee he called Blaine up to share his song.
Everyone was shocked when Blaine grabbed an acoustic guitar and a stool. He sat directly in front of Mercedes and Kurt and started to sing.
Say, wasn't that a funny day
He had a funny way a way about you
A kind of glow of something new
Everyone was staring at Blaine serenading Kurt with a song that wasn't menacing or extremely flirty just simple and emotional. Something no-one expected Blaine to do.
Sure, I'll admit that I'm the same
Another sucker for a game kids like to play
And the rules we like to use
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel for you?
All Kurt could do was sit motionless and stare at Blaine feeling moisture build up in his eyes. It took all his strength not to cry and cling to Blaine for the rest of time. Here was Blaine, Badboy Blaine without his hard exterior and showing the soft, kind and romantic interior Blaine. A Blaine, Kurt was falling for and he wasn't ashamed for falling for him either.
The sun, telling me the night is done
Well I refuse to let it stop our fun
Close your eyes we'll make it dark again
And kiss, there's a thought so how 'bout this
Let's pretend that both our lips are made of candy
After all we need sweets every now and then
Kurt couldn't stop himself, now crying freely.
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel for you?
And here we are two strangers
In a very different place
Who knows what will happen to us next?
Here we with nothing but this little spark
It's too cold outside to let this fire to rest
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel for you?
Oh don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel?
Don't you want the way I feel for you?
Don you want the way that I feel for you?
As the final guitar chords softened the New Directions applauded Blaine whilst Kurt wiped the few tears from his face with the sleeve of his Marc Jacobs sweater.
Both boys just stared into the others eyes, not needing any words to communicate. Kurt mouthed 'thank you' and moved to close the gap between them with a sweet, chaste kiss.
Both breaking apart to the sound of cat calls and whistles.
Sending each other a toothy grin they realised that they belonged together.
...
After glee club Kurt and Blaine left the together and were heading to Kurt's locker.
When they reached their destination Kurt removed the books from his locker and turned to Blaine asking the question he's been dying to know.
"What happened?"
"Err..."
"Why did you change your image?"
"For you, I wanted to prove to you that I may act like a total jerk sometimes, most of the time, but underneath the clothes I'm just as scarred as you are. Truth is I don't like who I've become, I never used to be this guy. At my first high-school I was bullied for being gay, pushed, slurs and you know, the usual. I was so scared that I built these walls so nobody would come near me but every time I'm around you, you knock those walls down and I feel like I can be myself around you."
"Blaine! I don't know what to say?"
"Well I-"
Kurt brought Blaine into the most passionate kiss they've ever exchanged. Kurt threw his arms around Blaine's neck whilst Blaine's hands rested gently on Kurt's hips. Kurt pulled away but only slightly so when he spoke his lips brushed against Blaine's ever so slightly "I-I think, no wait erm, I love you, Blaine" Feeling shy Kurt tried to pull out of Blaine's grasp but Blaine rooted him to the spot, bringing his mouth to Kurt's ear and whispering "I love you too" the slight breeze of Blaine's words ghosted across Kurt's ear sending shivers down his spine.
Without realising Kurt laughed.
"What's so funny?"
"oh, nothing just who'd think McKinley's residential Badboy would be such a gentlemen at heart?"
"Yeah, don't tell anyone about this!" but Blaine smiled to reassure Kurt that he was only joking.
And with one final kiss that electrocuted both parties they walked hand-in-hand out of McKinley.
