"Kurt?" It was Blaine. He'd come after Kurt, finding him slumped against some lockers, crying as people walked right past him, ignoring him, pretending he wasn't there. "Kurt!" He rushed over and knelt beside him.
"Go away." He said, rubbing his eyes forcefully.
"I thought we agreed to talk to each now? I don't understand why Matt sang that song…"
"Because he blames himself for what happened to me, okay? He was there when Kaiser turned me."
They stayed silent; listening to the bustle of students walking around them, the stupid, teenage gossip, and the pathetic dramas of high school, how little their problems were compared to themselves.
"Kurt I-"
"Save it. I'm not worth your time, Blaine." And then Kurt stood, tears still pouring down his face as he walked away from Blaine.
He came back to the after school glee club, his eyes red and his face blotchy. And even though he wished he wasn't there, he was willing enough to listen to his friends' sing, no matter how much they hated him.
He ignored the glares as he sat down at the back, and remained quiet as Puck stood and did cover of Riding Solo, making everyone laugh that he practically sung to himself about being single for Valentine's Day. Something none of the others would do.
And then Santana got up and did a very sexual performance of S&M to Brittany. Mr Schue had to pull them apart at the end of, causing everyone to erupt into even more giggles.
And then, unsurprisingly, Rachel stood, and started to belt out E.T by Katy Perry. Everyone was extremely confused about her song choice, but Kurt laughed when he heard Blaine muttering from across the room.
"I can't believe she's doing Katy Perry… That's mine. I own Katy Perry songs…. God she's ruining it."
Everyone turned to glare at Kurt when Rachel finished, except Blaine and Matt who'd knew why Kurt had been laughing, and they laughed then themselves, causing even more confusion among the group.
When Kurt left, he didn't miss the broad smile Blaine had upon his face. The boy obviously thought he was getting closer to getting Kurt back. Just because one comment that had made him laugh…
He ignored it though. He'd let Blaine try. He was setting him up for more heartbreak. It's to help Blaine get over him, right? If anything, it was going to hurt himself more for turning him down repeatedly.
The next day, Brittany started off with singing Your Love Is My Drug by Ke$ha, which got everyone up and dancing. Matt even got Kurt up, even if it was only for a few seconds.
And then Quinn stood, shocking a few people by doing so.
"I know I don't have anyone to sing to this year, and I don't really mind. Thought I could've sung to Joe… he's pretty cool. But instead I'm going to sing to two of you in this group. And I hope it'll make you see the light." Kurt rolled his eyes, knowing it was another song towards him and Blaine…
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on
So are you listening?
So are you watching me?
If you thought I'd leave, then you were wrong
Cause I won't stop holding on.
This is an emergency
So are you listening?
And I can't pretend that I don't see this
It's really not your fault
When no one cares to talk about it
Kurt didn't understand these lyrics, or how they could be aimed at either him or Blaine. That was until the chorus.
Cause I've seen love die
Way too many times
When it deserved to be alive
I've seen you cry
Way too many times
When you deserved to be alive
So you give up every chance you get
Just to feel new again
I think we have an emergency
I think we have an emergency
Kurt frowned; trying not to let Quinn's words sink in like Matt's had yesterday. She didn't know. So therefore, these words meant nothing.
She continued the song, not faltering even at Kurt's emotionless face. When she finished, Kurt stood and entered the centre of the room, making Quinn glare lightly and move to sit down.
"I swear to fucking God, even though I don't believe him, I will hit the next person who sings to me and Blaine. We aren't getting back together, so just stop. And if you think I won't follow through on that, take Finn for example." And then he stormed out, not making eye contact with anyone, and missing Mercedes' beautiful rendition of I Will Always Love You.
But for once, he didn't care…
The next day started off with Finn singing Wherever You Will Go by The Calling, apparently showing Rachel that he'll follow her everywhere, like a little lovesick puppy.
And then Sam got up to sing You're Beautiful by James Blunt ending just in time as the bell rang for class.
And then at lunch, Mike sang I'm Yours by Jason Mraz, with the help of Sam, Puck and Finn on their respective instruments. Tina was blushing like crazy as she stood to sing hers. Certain lyrics standing out to Kurt as he kept glancing over at Blaine during it, who was also doing the same, causing them to catch each other's eyes every once in a while.
Heart beats fast
Colours and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid
To fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt
Suddenly goes away somehow
Kurt was silently gazing at Blaine as everyone else took in the sentimental value meant for Mike and Tina. But the lyrics… they felt right.
One step closer
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin' don't be afraid
I have loved you for a
Thousand years
I'll love you for a
Thousand more
This one of the times they caught eyesight. Kurt knew he was going to love Blaine for that long. Because he could. He would. And it would kill him letting Blaine go.
Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything
Take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath,
Every hour has come to this
One step closer
Kurt felt himself mouthing the words now, his unmoving from Blaine, who could feel his intense gaze. Blaine knew he was mouthing along to words, because he was trying his hardest not to do so himself.
Once Tina had finished, they're eyes caught, and they made silent agreement not to make a scene about what happened, because nothing did. It was all Tina and Mike.
And then at the afterschool glee, Artie and Rory sang out their feelings in a duet of In My Head as they fought for Sugar's love. Leaving only two members left to perform, both putting it off.
It took until Wednesday after school for Blaine to finally get up and do his song.
"So… I changed quite a few words and the I've changed the first verse as much as I could, but there's a few lines of it that I don't mean, and I also have help of the guys. They know their cue."
Guess this means I'm sorry
For standing at your door
Guess this means I take back
All I said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again
Blaine did a little sort of shrug during those lines, showing those where the ones he didn't mean. And then the chorus started, each guy jumping up to sing it with, with the exception of Kurt.
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
They had choreographed it and were so blatantly singing at Kurt, and during the second verse, Blaine literally stood right in front of him as he sung his heart out.
Baby you were stupid for telling me goodbye
Maybe I was wrong for tryin' to pick a fight
I know that you've got issues
But I'm pretty messed up too
Either way, I found out I'm nothing without you
And jumping back into the chorus, the girls joined in too, singing loudly but not too loud that they couldn't hear Blaine, and also scaring the crap out of Kurt when they did so.
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
He moved back towards Kurt, holding out his hand, which Kurt didn't take and his face remained emotionless, not letting them know he was sobbing inside.
Being with you
Is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you
But I can't let you go
Oh yeah
While everyone went on to harmonizing, Blaine's face begged with Kurt to take his hand. Kurt shook his head, causing Blaine to frown, but he jumped back to the centre to do the dancing when the chorus came back.
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you
'Cause we belong together now, yeah
Forever united here somehow, yeah
You got a piece of me
And honestly,
My life(my life) would suck (would suck) without you
Blaine had somehow ended up on his knees in front of Kurt as the music came to a close, and he was also breathing heavily. And everyone else waited with bated breath for Kurt's reaction. Which finally came out silent, and only Blaine and Matt heard him.
"We need to talk. In private." Blaine nodded and held out his hand again. Kurt denied it one more time before standing and leading him silently from the room. They found an empty class room and sat beside each other on a couple of desks.
"Look, you know I want you back-"
"Then why don't you?"
"Please don't interrupt me, Blaine?" Blaine frowned, but nodded.
"I want you back. I really, really do. But I'm scared. I don't know my own strength anymore. I don't know when or where I'm going to lose control, because I'm bound to at some point. It hurts to know I could be with you the way I want to. But it's for your safety, Blaine. I don't want to hurt you-"
"But you are hurting me Kurt. By not being with me. It kills, Kurt."
Kurt frowned… he'd never thought of it that way…
"I'm doing what I think is best for the both of us. I'm not going to hurt you. I refuse to do that. I couldn't live with myself if hurt you again-"
"You haven't even tried! You bruised me once, and then a few words from a dickhead like Sebastian and you decided not to bother. How do you know of that's what's best if you never try?"
Kurt sucked in a breath, thinking seriously about Blaine's words…
"I… I don't know anymore, Blaine…" A stray tear fell down Kurt's cheek which made Blaine lean over and lift his hand to wipe it away, his hand resting there for second before he drew back.
"Just give me some time to think, okay? I don't know… Friday?" Blaine nodded.
"I'm not going to rush you, baby." Kurt smiled lightly, letting Blaine lean over and kiss him softly on the head.
Friday had come, and Kurt had waited till glee after school. He knew what he wanted now. Blaine was right, he'd never really tried. So he was going to. Starting with finishing song week.
When Kurt didn't sit down at glee, Blaine's eyebrows rose curiously, while the others murmured.
"I know that I've been fucking up a lot lately… and believe me, I hate myself so, so much. And I know I have to work to make up for what I did wrong. And firstly, I want to say that Matt, it was never, ever your fault. Ever. Secondly, I still don't forgive you, Finn. Telling me to tell everyone in private is fine, but nearly saying what happened in front of everyone…" Kurt shook his head. "And lastly, Blaine. I'm sorry. I've been a total dickhead, and I know that I'll spend forever trying to make it up to you. And I hope this song is enough of an answer to what we talked about on Wednesday."
He nodded to the band members who started playing, and Kurt waited patiently for his cue.
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
And sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna' miss you tonight
And as Kurt went into the chorus, putting in as much emotion in as he could, never letting his eyes break away from Blaine's as Mercedes, Rachel, Tina, Quinn and Brittany slowly started singing softly on back up.
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Kurt walked in front of Blaine, holding out his hands that Blaine took, who was not letting himself smile. Yet. And Kurt pulled him to the centre of the room as a few of the guys joined the girls on backup.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's meant to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
Kurt continued to sing, straight to Blaine, not breaking eyesight with him, only blinking out a few tears as he neared the end.
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
And Kurt finished the song breathing out heavily, but not getting a chance to catch that breath because Blaine surged forwards and caught their lips in a kiss. It started off soft and chaste, until Kurt decided he needed more and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck, deepening the kiss as he pushed his tongue into Blaine's mouth.
"Okay! That's enough!"
The pulled apart with an obscene pop, smiling lovingly at each other, their eyes shimmering with that love.
