10: Valentines Surprise

A week later:

This week has been better. I'm not even gonna lie and say that I'm over Sam; I'm far from it. But I'm at least getting used to being ignored. I'm getting on with things. Singing Chasing Cars helped me let go last week.

This week is gonna be tough though…

/

"Valentines is coming up! So for this week's lesson; I want you guys to pick a partner, cause you're gonna sing to them what you think is the worlds greatest love song" Mr Schue said excitedly.

Mercedes, Blaine, Sugar and I all rolled our eyes.

"Find a song that communicates all the things that love means to you" He continued.

"Yeah I'm not singing a love song Mr Schue." I said.

"Me neither" "Me too!" "Mmm-hmm" Blaine, Sugar and Mercedes chimed in respectively.

"Not in the Valentines spirit guys?" Mr Schue asked, looking disappointed.

"Well what's the point in singing a love song when you have no one you want to sing to?" I said, looking at Sam out of the corner of my eye. He was looking at the ground.

"That's true Ryan. Well you can all sing a love song if you're comfortable."

Finn then got up and proceeded to give a speech about how he's the biggest 'celebrity' in glee and he's gonna help us out cause we're like a charity… Normally I ignore his speeches in class but this one is just too douchey to ignore.

"So should I take this one or you?" I whispered into Santana's ear.

"I'll take it" She said with an evil smirk.

She went on to insult Finn but then the club turned on Santana for being a bitch… She ran out.

I walked out of glee club a few minutes later to find Brittany consoling a crying Santana on the ground outside.

"Hey, look what Rachel and the others said to you was unfair. But they have a point you know. I get that you're honest and I actually like that about you… But sometimes you can be too honest… I'm like that when it comes to Finn… Maybe we both need to dial it down a little bit?" I said softly.

"Ugh I'm just telling the truth! But fine, if the glee club is too scared to handle it. I'll tone it down a bit" She said angrily.

"Cool, hey, a few of us are going to the Lima Bean, you guys wanna come?" I asked.

"I can't. I have Motocross practise and then I need to buy nicotine patches for Lord Tubbington" Brittany said airily.

"I'll go as long as FrankenBerry aren't there" Santana said.

/

Blaine, Sugar, Santana, Puck and I all sat into one of the booths at the Lima Bean.

"Ugh, gross. How is this possible? I'm the hottest piece of action at this school and here I am; single. Ugh, whatever." Santana said angrily.

"Maybe cause you're secretly in love with Brittany" I said, resulting in her giving me a death stare.

"Oh and how's Trouty Mouth these days?" She retorted.

"Guys, chill" Puck said.

"At least you have a date for Valentines… Kinda" Sugar said.

"Ugh, don't they have anything here that isn't covered with stupid little hearts? Gross" Blaine said.

"Valentines was great last year… Now it's shit" I said.

"I used to think all of this was cute. It used to be my favourite holiday… Having a day where you're just encouraged to lay it all on the line and tell someone: I'm in love with you'". Blaine said.

"Someone's changed their tune" Puck said.

"Annoying thing is, if we were actually with people. We'd think this was the best holiday ever… But cause we're single… The world is basically saying 'fuck you' to us for a whole day!" I said angrily.

"Guy we need to stop being so negative! Let's turn this into a day we can enjoy!" Sugar said.

"How?" Santana said, rolling her eyes.

"Singles dinner at Breadstix!" She said excitedly.

"That is the saddest thing I think I've ever heard…" Santana said harshly.

"Ah no, it's not actually a bad idea… A dinner though? That is a bit depressing… Maybe we could do a kind of concert? Sing some songs about the crappy side of love. Make it known that Valentines isn't just about couples" I said.

"That's actually not a bad idea…" Blaine said.

"Ugh, fine… But don't add me in as a host. I'll go for moral support" Santana said.

/

Two days later:

The singles dinner/concert is currently underway and it's actually going well, except for the fact that we're only singing songs that are depressing as fuck (Great songs but they're all sad/heartbreak types… This is meant to be about single power)… 'Who Knew' by P!nk, 'Mad World', ADELE, and so forth… The guys like our singing at least! There's a good turnout… Tina, Mike, Rachel (+ Kurt… Awkward for Blaine), Mercedes, Brittany, Artie and Lauren all showed up too. Finn and Quinn are at home with mono; thanks to Santana (apparently Quinn's cheating on Sam with Finn… But it doesn't involve me anymore so no point dwelling on it.

Blaine, Sugar and I were halfway through Britney's 'Everytime' when none other than Sam walked in and sat at a table at the back.

At the end of the song I ran to called Santana over.

"Ok guys, I didn't think he would turn up… I seriously don't want to come across like I'm still head over heels for him. I mean, I know I am but since he's not, I don't want to look sad… We need to sing happier songs… Or at least angry songs…" I said.

"You're right… We just look depressed up here singing all these sad songs." Blaine said.

Santana and Sugar nodded in agreement.

"Ok first, Santana, Sugar; can you back me up with one song?"

"Hold up! I said I'm just here for moral support!" Santana said.

"Santana shut up and do this for Ryan!" Sugar said fiercely.

Santana looked visibly shocked as she waked on stage in defeat.

I walked on stage and grabbed the mic.

"Ok guys so this next one isn't gonna be slow and sad! I know, shocker, right? This next song isn't exactly a love song… And it has a whole other meaning that's way bigger than you or me. But I love the song and I can relate to some of the lyrics. Hope you guys enjoy." I said.

Cold War:

Ryan (Sugar/Santana on backup):

So you think I'm alone?
But being alone's the only way to be
When you step outside
You spend life fighting for your sanityThis is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?If you wanna be free?
Below the ground's the only place to be
Cause in this life
You spend time running from depravityThis is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?Bring wings to the weak and bring grace to the strong
May all evil stumble as it flies in the world
All the tribes comes and the mighty will crumble
We must brave this night and have faith in loveI'm trying to find my peace

I looked at Sam for a split second as I sang the next line.

I was made to believe there's something wrong with me
And it hurts my heart
Lord have mercy, ain't it plain to see?This is a cold war
You better know what you're fighting for
This is a cold war
Do you know what you're fighting for?Do you know it's a cold, cold war?
Do you, do you do you?Bye, bye, bye, bye
Don't you cry when I say goodbye

Everyone cheered as I finished and Blaine stood up on stage.

"Ok guys, so here's another upbeat one that Ryan and I are gonna sing for you all; here's Silly Love Songs"

/

We sang a few more upbeat songs before finishing up. I looked down to the back of the room to see Sam's seat was empty.

All the guys left a few minutes later, leaving Blaine and I at the table finishing off a drink.

"Well that was a success" Blaine said optimistically.

"I suppose… Didn't help me with the whole Sam thing though. Even when I sang the upbeat songs, they were all directed at him. Cold War was probably a bit too obvious" I said, slouching in the chair.

"No, it was great. Blaine said. "Trust me. You saw the reaction you got from that song" He said.

"Ha well thanks… I don't wanna be depressed… I have an idea,,, You wanna get drunk?" I asked.

Blaine paused a moment before answering.

"Why not" He said, smiling.

/

We were sitting in Blaine's sitting room enjoying listening to music. His parent's were out of town on business, as usual. There were 2 shoulders of vodka gone already. Puck was able to get us the drink.

I'm drunk… Like really drunk… I haven't been this drunk before.

Pretty sure Blaine is too considering he's dancing around to Doctor Jones.

Blaine sat down next to me a few minutes later, exhausted from dancing non-stop, his hair extremely dishevelled.

"That was fun!" He said before slouching into the chair.

"It looked fun! Y'know, your hair is actually really nice when it's curly. Why do you always gel it so much?" I asked.

"No! It's horrible when it's not gelled. It's like I rubbed my head with 20 balloons!" He said overly dramatically.

I laughed hard at his reaction.

"You wanna know a secret?" Blaine said sneakily.

"Uh, sure?" I said, looking curious.

"I'm over Kurt. I have been for a while. I didn't even feel anything when he came to Breadstix tonight! We rushed into things you know! I think we got together cause we were both the only out gay guys at McKinley. I think if he hadn't lied and kissed someone else we probably wouldn't have worked anyway" Blaine said before saying "Shhh, don't tell anyone".

"I won't. You wanna know a secret too?" He nodded eagerly, turning onto his belly and holding his head up with his hands.

"Sam and I had sex… like 2 weeks before he dumped me. We had been talking about it and it happened the night we drew at Sectionals. I'm not be angry that I lost my virginity to him, cause it was perfect in the moment" I said, somewhat sadly.

"Wow! Lucky you. Well not lucky after everything… But you still lost your virginity! Kurt only let me make out with him… and he made us schedule them" Blaine said resentfully

"Wow that sounds shit." "Yep!" He said before turning around and laying his head on my lap playfully.

"You're really drunk!" I said, bursting out laughing.

"So are you! You kept falling over when you were dancing!" Blaine said, playfully tapping me on the nose.

"Well I'm not falling now! Am I?" I said proudly, before leaning over too much and sliding off the couch.

I was leaning against the couch and turned back around to see Blaine head just behind mine.

We burst into fits of laughter.

"I think I spoke too soon" I said, still giggling.

"You're cute when you laugh. You have a really nice smile" Blaine said, still giggling also.

"Thanks, but not really" I said instinctively.

"You do" He said before looking at me seriously.

This feels serious… Don't laugh.

We stared at each other intensely for a few moments.

I could feel our heads slowly drifting closer.

We kept moving closer…

Closer…

Closer until our lips met.

This just got a whole lot more complicated…

Sam and Ryan will talk again too… But it'll take time.
