Okay so some things to get clear in my story, first, Darren Criss in my version did not write any of the songs that he wrote that are on his CD, Human. He only wrote the songs that were on AVPM and not on his CD, you will see by the end of the chapter. Enjoy! It is now Wednesday May 7th 2014
Kurt
"Hey Rachel! I want to talk to you!" Kurt said running up to her before dance class.
"What do you want Kurt?" Rachel asked coldly turning around
"Wow, icy much today?" Kurt asked
"Sorry, I'm upset, you've been ignoring me pretty much the entire week for your new best friend Chandler" Rachel said
"Oh Rach, I'm so sorry, you're right, but you will never be replaced by Chandler, you know too much for that to happen" Kurt said trying to be funny
"Apology accepted, now what did you want to talk to me about?" Rachel asked easing out of her mood.
"I was wondering when you wanted to practice. And then I was wondering if you maybe wanted to get a pedicure later with me?" Kurt asked
"I was thinking maybe Saturday for practicing, and then every day after work next week, maybe not the vocals, but the dancing at least, we definitely need to work on that. And I would love to get a pedicure with you!" Rachel said
"Cool, pedicures at 5:30, Lily can cook tonight" Kurt said
"Okay, now dance class before Ms. July chops our heads off" Rachel said
Dance was easy; Ms. July was out hung over so Brody was subbing. Kurt was hoping, just a little bit, that he would take his shirt off, just because he was hot. After an hour of everyone in the room drooling over Brody dance was over. Ms. Tibideaux was lecturing them about the rules of the performance, as if Kurt hadn't memorized them. After school was over Kurt sent a text to Blaine and Lily saying he was going to be late because he was getting a pedicure with Rachel.
Work went by fast, organizing Isabelle's stuff and by the time he knew it was getting a pedicure with Rachel.
"So, have you thought about what you're getting Finn for his birthday?" Rachel asked as they were soaking their feet in tubs of water getting massaged by their chairs.
"No, but I want to get him something from Journey, I know he likes the 80's music and stuff, what are you getting him?" Kurt asked
"It's a secret" Rachel said
"Fine, don't tell me" Kurt huffed
"Okay" Rachel said "So tell me more about Lily"
As they got their pedicures Kurt went on and on about Lily and how sweet she is and then told her about how she almost killed Blaine with the outfit that she was wearing yesterday. Rachel shook her head and laughed.
"So, what does she look like?" Rachel asked truly interested
"She is like Santana skinny and is a little bit taller than me. She looks like Quinn did at the beginning of senior year, except with a star tattoo on her collarbone and the Darren Criss tattoo instead of the Ryan Seacrest tattoo" Kurt said
"Is she smart?" Rachel asked
"Well she's not… creative like Brittany, but she's not super genius smart like Artie. She kept a B+ average all throughout high school" Kurt said
"Okay good, I love Brittany, but I don't know if I could deal with another Brittany around all the time" Rachel said
"Really? You wouldn't mind her hanging around all the time?" Kurt asked "I know I should have asked if I could bring her to Finn's party on Sunday. I'm sorry"
"No, it's alright, and I feel as if I already know her from the way you talk about her, if you weren't gay I would say you had a crush on her" Rachel said
"Maybe just a little, but nothing more, gay guys can still have girl crushes, they just aren't… romantic. I've only ever had 2. Santana and Lily, and if you ever tell Santana I will skin you alive" Kurt said
"Hmm, that actually makes sense, and don't worry, I won't tell Santana" Rachel said
They finished their pedicures and Rachel got her toe's painted blood red. They made plans for Saturday at noon in the NYADA auditorium to practice before they parted ways. Kurt got home and helped himself to some lasagna Lily had made. Blaine and Lily were nowhere to be found so he finished up dinner and went into his room and found Blaine sitting on their bed, guitar in hands with a pencil in his mouth and songbook in front of him. Kurt came up from behind him and got on his knees on the bed and put his arms around Blaine's neck.
"Hey BB, whatcha doing?" Kurt asked
"Writing a song" Blaine replied
"Oh? And what brought this on?" Kurt asked
"Well I was walking home and I saw a guy yelling at 25 gay guys holding hands and they were just… taking it. So I stopped and yelled at the guy for yelling at them. He apologized and left. The guys then thanked me and said that it's nice to know that they aren't alone in this world. So it triggered something in my head and I've been trying to write it, but I don't think it sounds good with a guitar" Blaine said frowning
"Well, why don't you sing me what you've got so far, without any instruments?" Kurt asked
"Okay, this is what I have so far" Blaine said and he began to sing
"I've been alone
Surrounded by darkness
I've seen how heartless
The world can be
I've seen you crying
You felt like it's hopeless
I'll always do my best
To make you see
Baby, you're not alone
Cause you're here with me
And nothings ever gonna bring us down
Cause nothing can keep me from loving you
And you know it's true
It don't matter what'll come to be
Our love is all we need to make it through"
Blaine finished and looked at Kurt "What do you think? It's not done yet but…"
"It's beautiful! Is it a love song too? What's it called?" Kurt asked
"Yes, it is sort of a love song to you too. And it's called 'Not Alone'." Blaine said
"Well 'Not Alone' is perfect, although you're right, it wouldn't sound good with a guitar but maybe this" Kurt said and he got off the bed and went into the closet and pulled out a long box with a keyboard on the front.
"You got a keyboard too? You shouldn't have" Blaine said
"First of all, it wasn't very expensive. 2nd of all, I didn't, it's not just for you. Did you gorget that I play piano too? It's for both of us" Kurt said handing Blaine the keyboard.
"Yes I did forget, but thank you, I need to learn to pay closer attention, I have the attention span of a dog" Blaine said
"Hey! Don't say that about my Blaine! Anyways I'll leave you to your song writing" Kurt said and then pecked Blaine on the lips.
"Wait, I figured what to get Finn" Blaine said
"What?"
Blaine told him "How will we get that?" Kurt asked
"My brother knows a guy" Blaine said
"Of course your almighty famous LA brother knows everybody, I'll just let you be" Kurt said
He shut the door as he heard Blaine chuckle and Kurt went out into the living room and Lily was watching TV with popcorn. He ran and jumped onto the couch into the seat next to her and plopped down.
"Whatcha watching?" Kurt asked
"Sh, I'm watching 'Sing'" Lily said
"Boring, story of my life" Kurt said
"Exactly why I'm watching it, so I can experience your life first hand. It's episode 8 and 9 tonight and your character has his first actual song on episode 9" Lily said not taking her eyes off the TV.
"Oh! 'Defying Gravity' from Wicked. I remember having a diva off with Rachel!" Kurt said
"If you don't shut up I will kill you" Lily said
Kurt snorted "Yeah right, I doubt it"
"Okay no, but I dump this bowl of popcorn on your head" Lily said
Kurt narrowed his eyes at Lily "You. Wouldn't. Dare."
"Try me" Lily dared
Kurt shut up after that and watched the rest of the show, it actually wasn't that bad. They were about 3 quarters of the way through episode 9 when Blaine came bounding into the room and jumped onto the couch and plopped down just as Kurt had except he was on the other side of Lily.
"What are you doing out here Blaine? I thought you were song writing" Kurt said
"My brain needed to stop for the night, so I came out here to watch TV. So what are you watching?" Blaine asked
"'Sing'. Now I will tell you the same thing I told Kurt, if you don't shut up I will pour this tub of popcorn on your head" Lily warned
"But our hair!" Blaine protested
"Not my problem" Lily said
A few minutes before the shoe was over Blaine started talking and Lily poured the popcorn onto his head, as promised. Kurt was laughing at Blaine for having a bowl on his head.
"You think that's funny Hummel? Well here" Blaine said and threw popcorn at Kurt. Kurt shrieked and threw popcorn at Blaine but some hit Lily and then she threw some at Kurt. Then they were all running around the room screaming and throwing popcorn at each other. They missed the end of the show but didn't care, 10 minutes later Kurt stopped.
"Okay, okay, we've had enough fun for one night, now help me clean this mess up" Kurt said and they all started to clean up.
The song was part of the song 'Not Alone' by Darren Criss, now you understand why. Review please!
