This chapter took me a little while because I got an eye opening review about some big typos and the disappearance of Mr. Schue's name throughout the whole thing which I finally got to correct! I'm so excited about this fic because I keep getting a few reviews and some story and author alerts, it all makes me REALLY happy! This chapter covers the events of "Vitamin D" and I hope you enjoy! :)
Kurt's POV:
A day has passed since the kissing nightmare... it wasn't an actual nightmare but it's not really in my plans to confuse and drive a straight guy crazy, specially Puckerman, I don't want to ruin the little thing we have... I'm such an ass!
Apparently no one saw what happened, nobody seems to notice at all, they were all so happy about the whole performance... I sure was as well... don't over-thing this Kurt! Noah seems alright with it, he even said he needs me as his friend... do I mean that much to him... never in a million years thought that the guy that once threw me into the dumpster would need my friendship...
The bell rings, it's now time to go to the choir room and find out if we qualified for Sectionals...
"Great news guys! Guess what? We made it! And... I already got the names of the two teams we'll be competing against!"
OMG! OMG! We'll compete! It's not much of a surprise because we KILLED IT! But still... "Who are the teams Mr. Schue?" Asked Rachel, I'm crossing my fingers we don't have to compete with Vocal Adrenaline now... we need more time to be great...
"Drum-roll Finn! School for the deaf in Dayton and Jane Adams Academy!"
Really? Are you serious? One of the groups is deaf and the other is... what is the other?
"Jane Adams? Oh Please! That's a place that keeps the girls that get out of juvi! We got this in the bag!" Mercedes confidently added.
"But, guys! Just because they seem easy to beat, if we win, we'll eventually meet with Vocal Adrenaline, so we have to be on your A-Game! That's why this week, I'll have a fun assignment for everyone!"
The other assignment brought the best in a lot of us but I didn't get to do anything, Puck's suggestion was both a good thing and sort of a curse at the same time...
"So, let's split you up... guys to left, girls to the right!" OK? Now that he made me look around I see Puck's there, even though we're alright I don't really feel like aproaching him... let's see if I can stay in the girls' side... "Kurt... to the left please..." Come on men! Give me a break... let's see what's coming...
"Here's the deal... two teams! Boys versus girls and one week from today you will each perform a mash-up of your choice!"
"What's a mash-up?" Oh Noah... you don't know what a mash-up is? Oh well... "A mash-up, Noah, is when you take two songs and mash them together to make a richer explosion of music expression" Mr. Schue explained... I have so many ideas right now but... yeah, this is a team of boys, forget the big gay broadway numbers, they won't join in... this is why it sucks to be gay by myself...
"You guys didn't ask for the prize! The team that wins will get to pick one of the songs we'll sing at Sectionals! It can even be the song they perform next week! I can't wait!"
Rachel is already taking over her team, she's annoying but their performance will probably be all kinds of awesome... Artie seems pretty pumped as well, but I'm nervous, I never work with guys around, specially after I kissed one of them...
"We have to kick some ass, those girls are amazing but we can be that great as well!" Confidently said Finn to get us excited for the performance.
"Since today we don't have football practice why don't we stay here brainstorming?" Asked Mike
"You guys have any ideas on what we should do?" I had to ask, they sure won't rely on me for ideas, I'm think too gay...
"It has to be something where me and Mike can dance to at some point, that should show off all the strengths in our team" Added Matt
"I'm thinking... Bon Jovi!" As Puck said that everyone's eyes started sparkling "Finn and Artie can sure pull that song off, right?"
"Sure! You want me to think of the outfits we'll wear?" Since song choice was brilliantly made by Noah picking the clothes is pretty much the only thing I can do...
"That's a great idea Kurt, I'll go with Finn to look for other song for us to mash up with this one" Artie said as Finn stood and wheeled him to the library.
"Once you find out what song to mix me and Matt will come up with choreography" Once Mike said that Matt added "Puck, you mind staying with Kurt picking the outfits?"
"No, not at all, I actually prefer it, that way I control the amount of glitter he puts on it" By the tone of his voice we all can tell he's just joking so I can't get offended, then the two dancers leave to the gym to work out a bit, they do that every day after the classes end.
There's an awkward silence in the room since we're alone, just me and Noah...
"Since it's a rock song, I'm thinking maybe some leather jackets?"
"Sounds good to me Hummel, we should wear something underneath it, right?"
"Of course! As good as your body looks we have to keep it appropriate, a white t-shirt would work, don't you think?"
"Yeah, sure, why not? And then some jeans and converse shoes would be fine..."
"It actually would, it's simple, yet makes an impact, very nice Noah!"
"We make a pretty cool team don't we?"
"You're still talking about the assignment?" You dirty asshole, what else would he be talking about?
"How did you know? I'm obviously talking about yesterday... you've been avoiding me all day, if it wasn't for the task we wouldn't even talk, am I right?"
"You totally are, even after being alone for a while, I still don't know how to process everything..." I'm really lost... I wonder how he feels...
"That makes two... I'm not very good with dealing with these kind of stuff..."
"I'm aware, no offense..." You're not making things better with those comments idiot!
"Don't mind me, I built this stupid reputation about me... it's only natural that people think that's how I really am..."
"I know you're not like that... I'm slowly getting to know you... and I... actually like... who I'm starting to know..."
Before he's able to say something Finn and Artie head into the classroom with a bunch of sheet music...
"Confessions!" What? Be more clear Artie! "The Usher song! Finn and I were joking around with the two songs and it actually songs really cool!"
"Let me get Mike and Matt from the gym!" Puck said as he left the room
"Me and Noah already came up with the outfits, what do you think of a simple white t-shirt, a leather jacket, a pair of jeans and Converse shoes?"
"It's pretty simple, but very nice! Great job!" Finn said before starting to sing the song with Artie... Wow it does song amazing, I add a few background vocals here and there and they seem to like it and overall it sounds really cool.
"Puck just texted me guys, he said Mike and Matt already went home, let's just go home we'll practice tomorrow" Finn said a while after we finished singing... we all say our goodbyes and leave...
- the next day (Wednesday) -
Puck's POV
After yesterday's talk I've been feeling really weird, is this how feeling loved is like? I haven't been paying attention to any class, I don't even know why I attend them... maybe it's because it feels good to glance over and see Kurt sitting in the other side of the room... why can't I think of something else lately? I already gave up on convincing myself that I'm straight, I know I'm a stud but this Kurt thing is different... it's not like I have feelings for every other guy, just picturing me kissing Finn disgusts me! Am I crushing on Hummel? I don't know what it is, but it's definitely something...
It feels good to be able to talk to him during glee practice, I'm definitely looking forward today's rehearsal... I need to talk to him... just the two of us again... I probably shouldn't think too much... let's see what happens after I enter in the choir room...
The girls are already there discussing something for their performance, I look to the other corner of the room and Kurt's there alone... PERFECT!
"Hey Kurt! Where's everyone?"
"Hi Noah, I have no idea..." Great! We definitely need to talk...
"Kurt, I also like who I'm getting to know, you're definitely more than "the gay kid"..."
"Thank you... it's so weird to hear you talking about feelings..."
Weird? My bad boy reputation sure makes me feel heartless... and I sort of was... every "relationship" I was in didn't mean anything... now it's the only time where I'm actually feeling something...
"I'm sorry if I offended you Noah, I didn't mean to do that at all!"
"No, you're right! I'm not the best when it comes to dealing with feelings and stuff..."
"Look at who got here! We thought you died here!" Kurt suddenly changed subjects when he saw the other guys walking in the room...
"We're going to rehearse choreography in the auditorium ok?"
"Sure Mike, let's go, we need to beat those girls!" I DO want to beat them... I just want to feel good, it would mean so much to Kurt... I just can't stop thinking of him, can I?"
We then head to the stage and start learning the dance moves Mike and Matt came up with, the choreography is actually simple, but Finn's taking a bit too long to learn it... as usual... that dude sure has a hard time with singing and dancing at the same time... after the bell rings we head to football practice and Kurt heads home...
- next tuesday -
Today is the big day, hopefully we'll defeat those girls, it would be really cool specially because we worked so hard on the performance.
When we get to the choir room Mr. Schue already placed the chairs in the other side of the room so we would all be facing the steps in which the two teams will perform.
"Alright! I can't wait to see your numbers! The ladies offered to go first so girls, the stage is yours..."
After a big ass explanation of their song choice from Rachel, they finally perform, they're doing a really good job, and when I'm about to think we have a chance, Berry screams a huge high note in the end of their performance... are we supposed to out-perform them? Ok, we can do this!
"Boys, you better bring it because the ladies did a fantastic job!" You really had to remind us? We were here watching as well... geez... Ah! Kurt's really nervous, I can tell, he's fixing his hair every 2 seconds... "Break a leg Hummel..." When he hears me he smiles and touches my shoulder because going on stage, it feels so good when I make him smile... Focus now Puckerman! You can do this!
When we end our number they all clapped and stood up for us, were we that good? Or are they just being nice to us?
"Wow! Guys! Your number was incredible, I love how you mashed the two songs, and the choreography was really good too... I don't know how I'll decide!"
He actually has to think to make a decision! That's great news, I look over and Kurt seems really excited... I hope Mr. Schue picks us, I would love to have Kurt performing during Sectionals, I don't think I ever heard him singing lead in any song... now I'm looking forward to it!
- the next day -
Kurt's POV:
I'm so nervous today! I spent the entire day dreaming of a beautiful duet to sing with Puck in case we win... he probably wouldn't sing with me... he never actually said he liked me... as something more than friends...
This is it, everyone's waiting for the big question of the week... who won?...
"After giving much thought to it... I really can't pick... both teams did an incredible job... so each team will pick a song to perform in Sectionals!"
YAY! Even though I would rather win than a tie but at least we'll get to pick a song... I really hope me and Noah end up singing together at some point...
"Great job guys! We did work really well as a team" After I state that I see the proud looks on their faces, I love feeling like this... It's the second time a group of people felt proud of me for something I did...
"While you all were working on the assignment I thought of a song for you all to sing together in the auditorium..." After Mr. Schue lets us know of that he passes the sheet music... the song... "Keep Holding On'"... he probably found out about Quinn... he made Finn sing it with Rachel, he's obviously letting her know that glee club is supporting her...how nice of him...
Before we actually perform it Mr. Schue paired us up so we did some lifts for the choreography, I'm sure he's using this a chance to prepare us for Sectionals as well... anyway, after we go through the whole number the bell rings...
"Don't worry guys, we can perform this number tomorrow or on Friday! Good job!"
This chapter was REALLY long but I felt the need to extend the episode a little bit, I even included a bit of the next episode in this... I don't want Sue to come and split them... so I may just use the songs they sing in there in other context or something... In the next chapter exciting stuff will happen for our love birds! PLEASE review, I really want to know what's on your minds when you read my story and you can send your suggestions as well! :)
