So, I am awful, I know, I didn't update for a while, but I have an excuse. Well, excuses. Condensed version? Mom's birthday, super sick, music lessons, brother coming home from university, even sicker, and crazy homework. Phew, I hate that part, I'd rather just give you what you came for. The chapter. Enjoy!

"You know, this may not be as good as an idea as I thought."

"Come on. What happened to 'reach out and fight'?" Well, Kurt wished that was the guy who was sitting in the car with his best friend, but it wasn't. Now, he was just a nervous guy who was afraid to tell his transgendered alien lover how he felt, potentially in front of his current girlfriend. Bringing Finn was a lot tackier than he thought, too. Sure his goal was for Finn to go in first and deal with Rachel, but come on; it was definitely sleazy. Two guys go for their loves, same place, same time? And Finn, his supposed secret weapon, was currently trying to suck all of the peanut butter out of a Reese cup, with an expression as void of thought or emotion as a black hole. He could just turn back now and forget about it. But the old, lasting all of five seconds, Kurt, knew he had to go all out, and just do it. Tell Jesse how he felt.

"Ack, Finn, what the hell!" The car radio screeched on, the volume far too loud than Finn had anticipated, which caused his former crush to shrug sheepishly.

"Sorry."

"This isn't the time for music."

"But, it's your Madonna CD. I thought it might help you get in the zone." Right then, it was playing Burning Up, which Kurt normally would have liked, but his mind immediately flashed to the sore memory of Jesse singing it. Why did he have to be so incredibly hot when performing, but impossible to date off of the stage? So, he quickly reached for the 'Skip' button, and tried to get the courage to talk to Jesse. If Finn, slob of the decade, awfully unromantic jock, could seduce Rachel, then why couldn't he get with his childhood sweetheart? And why was it any different now than before? "Uh, can we change it to that, like, four seconds song, that might be a little more upbeat."

"4 Minutes, Finn!" Kurt's tone came off snarlier than he anticipated, which did make him feel a little badly. But in reality, he hadn't been paying much attention to the music playing; and what had Coach Sylvester said? WWMD. What Would Madonna Do. The icon would speak, and hopefully show him the way home. He was just hoping it wouldn't be Like A Virgin; that definitely didn't apply to him. You see, like usually implies that something isn't 100% accurate, but his clear boyfriendless existance indicated Madonna should try singing110% A Virgin. But that wasn't the song at all. Kurt recognized it the second he heard the beat, and he turned to see Finn obnoxiously shimmying to the song.

"Oh, this is kind of cool, actually. Slow, but mellow, sweet, and stuff. I should totally sing this to Rachel!" As Finn got up to leave the car, Kurt's hand immediately reached across to Finn's arm, and the blubbering jock was caught right where he was seated. "Uh, or... not?"

"You're not singing this song."

"Why not?"

"Because I am."

It was all set up. OK, fine, the whole thing was a mess, but there was a plan of some sort, and if things didn't go well, at least they knew an effort was made. They were parked in front of Jesse's house, where Rachel was supposed to be at that moment, but luckily, Kurt managed to pay off Sunshine to send an urgent tweet that Idina Menzel was making a visit to the local mall right that second. Kurt was just glad he didn't have to hear another ridiculous story about how Rachel thinks they look alike. It was absurd that she saw even a slight resemblance. So, while Rachel was stalking a starlet, Kurt and Finn would make sure to serenade Jesse in the most romantic way possible. They had spent the last while loosely throwing Christmas lights around the nearby houses, causing a young boy to follow them like a lost puppy, then a man with a shot gun to make Finn beg for his life while he had been trying to throw rose petals on his front porch. Eventually, the entire neighborhood looked like Cupid himself had thrown up on the place, which was tacky, but necessary. Fine, the guy being paid $20 an hour to dress in a giant heart was beyond tacky, but Kurt didn't have many suitors; this wasn't going to be a serenade. This would be a world changing event.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Kurt? I mean, it's kind of... uh, extravarent."

"It's extravagant, Finn. And yes, I have to do this. For Jesse. For us." Finn nodded unsurely, then backed up to the car. You see, Kurt's dad owning an auto shop proved quite useful when one needed to hook up numerous lights to a car engine to power them. The only unfortunate thing is nobody was here to keep Kurt comfortable while he moved closer towards the window, then pulled the microphone out of his jacket pocket. Kurt knew it was insanely cliche, but he had to. Right on cue, Jesse walked up to his window, probably looking for the source of the loud duck quacking (Finn's idea, as if that had to be explained), and Kurt made sure to make direction eye contact. Or was it supposed to be 'don't make eye contact'? Kurt wasn't 100% sure, but he knew that whichever was more difficult was probably the one he should be doing; so Kurt looked right into Jesse's gorgeous brown eyes.

"What are you doing, Kurt?" Jesse didn't sound angry, but hurt. Like Kurt had taken a stake and plunged it through his heart. But Kurt wasn't going to let one little mistake ruin what they could have. Seven years had gone by, and they were both totally different people, but had still gotten through that. Kurt turned to see Finn giving him the corniest thumbs up a guy could get, and proceeded to rev the engine, illuminating nearly every house within the view from Jesse's balcony. As Jesse tried to figure out exactly what was going on, Kurt heard the music start up, and for once, he genuinely felt stage fright.

"Trying hard to control my heart

I walk over to where you are

Eye to eye we need no words at all."

The second Jesse recognized the song as Crazy For You, his eyes lit up, and Kurt knew the sentiment was clear. Kurt felt like he could have thrown his microphone off of a cliff at this point, because Jesse had already gotten the point. But his alien potential lover had a smile he thought he might never see again after his stunt earlier, so Kurt was willing to make this moment last as long as possible.

"Slowly now we begin to move

Every breath I'm deeper into you

Soon we two are standing still in time

If you read my mind, you'll see

I'm crazy for you

Touch me once and you'll know it's true

I never wanted anyone like this

It's all brand new, you'll feel it in my-"

The music abruptly stopped. The expression on Kurt's face was pissed off enough to make Jesse fall head over heels in love with the boy, but wasn't doing much favors for Kurt's own experiences.

"Finn! The engine!" Finn stepped out of the car, and after trying to scream and obnoxiously wave gigantic motions, he moved closer to Jesse's house to explain to Kurt.

"The power just went out. It was so weird, my phone is dead too." Kurt quickly pulled out his cell phone, in pure anger, of course. This amazingly romantic moment was being murdered by stupid Finn and his electrical issues. Kurt looked at his phone, and saw the 93% charged battery appeared to be completely drained. He fiddled with the power button, the brightness, even pulled the battery out and back in, but it was no use.

"It's OK, Kurt. I know the song. And if it ends anything like I thought it did, I've got something for you." Kurt turned from his useless cellphone to find himself in the arms of Jesse, who was planting a kiss right on Kurt's lips. It was magical. The kiss on the forehead had been a blessing, but the moment Kurt had dreamed of was finally here. The moment was, as with the others in the evening, interrupted, when Kurt's cellphone went off.

"I don't understand, I thought it wasn't working."

"It wasn't, Finn! Let me just see..." Kurt broke free from Jesse's safe embrace, and looked at his display. It was from Wes. Kurt didn't even remember giving Wes his number, which was strange apart from the fact his phone had been dead just seconds ago.

Wes - kurt, the guy you're w/ is nt who he syz he is i'm coming ovr 2 sort thngs out, i'll expln l8r. c u soon

Kurt was stunned. Wes was smoking hot, was a total geek, and texted like a tween girl? But not just that. He had to be talking about the alien thing. But how the hell did he even know he was with Jesse at that point in time? Or even know Jesse period!

"What is it?" Jesse looked concerned for his... friend, and Finn just looked plain confused. Kurt wanted to get things done, which meant a certain amount of panic was going to have to occur.

"Jesse, get the hell out of here!"

"Damn it, Kurt, you made me do all that so you could break up with him at his own house?"

"Finn, I-"

"The lights? The music? I may not be the smartest, but I'm pretty sure that song was about being in love, or telepathy, I'm not sure."

"Finn!"

"What?"

"Get in the car!" Kurt turned to Jesse, who was standing on his own driveway, looking quite stunned at Kurt's panic. "You too, Jesse." Jesse sprinted towards the car, looking just as panicky as Kurt. "Wait." Jesse turned mid sprint to see Kurt's panic stricken face was replaced by a totally solemn expression. "I wanted to say- I love you." Jesse smiled, no, beamed back at Kurt, then rushed over to his childhood friend and gave him the kiss they so rightfully deserved. It was everything Kurt had hoped for. That thing, that moment, when you kiss someone and everything around becomes hazy and the only thing in focus is you and this person and you realize that that person is the only person that you're supposed to kiss for the rest of your life, and for one moment you get this amazing gift and you want to laugh and you want to cry because you feel so lucky that you found it and so scared that that it will go away all at the same time. That moment when you begin to quote random Drew Barrymore movies, but don't even care, because the love you are drowning in is enough to make you feel like you are flying. It was pure magic.

"Kurt, come on!" The two lovebirds finished they're embrace, then promptly hopped into the car where Finn was waiting. "It's funny, like, the car engine is working, but all of the electricity stopped working." Jesse's face went grave, which didn't go unnoticed by Kurt. "So, do you want to, like, explain why we are running, no, driving away. Yeah, driving away?" Kurt opened his mouth to speak, but Jesse managed to get the words out before him.

"Somebody knows I'm an alien."

Sorry, bad cliffhanger, I always try to end with cliffhangers, but that was super lame, and I'll be the first to admit it. On a totally random note... I dyed my hair! Red heads can only be called 'ginger' so often, so I'm now officially a dark brown hair color. I love it. So, random note over, wasn't that fun? Until next time!
