AN: Just a little Klaine missing scene set during "Original Song". Inspire by lyrics from "Storm" by Adrianne


Reluctantly I let him go, knowing I'll see him in the morning but that seems like such a long time. I don't want to let him out of my sight now that I've opened my eyes. I think of his confession back in February and wonder why I had fought against it. Maybe I hadn't seen his attraction to me, but even then a part of me knew that I liked him in that way. I had since I first saw him on those steps - so out of place but still with an air of confidence about him.

Now, as he walks across the empty Dalton parking lot in the fading light, I realize how much my insecurities have made us miss. Sure, we've been friends these last weeks, and we've shared a lot, but we've also missed a lot. I know I've only got myself to blame. It was me that was resisting this chemistry that existed between us. Me that was trying to keep Kurt in my life but not willing to surrender myself to what we had.

That had changed this afternoon. I had laid my heart out on thye line when I had leaned in to kiss him and that kiss had been returned with as much passion as I felt inside.

Watching him climb into his Navigator, I know there is no turning back for either of us. We are both in this all the way. Kurt glances my way as he settles behind the steering wheel. On impulse, I blow him a kiss, childish I know but part of me just doesn't care, until I feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Blowing kisses? That is so middle school."

Looking away from Kurt's Navigator pulling out of the parking space, I look back at Wes' who is smiling broadly.

"So sue me. I spent most of middle school in the closet."

"Somehow I think you and Kurt might find you want to find a closet together but for a totally different reason," Wes replies with a wink.

I can feel the heat rise in my cheeks. This is what I love about Dalton - here I'm made to feel like one of the guys. It's a nice feeling to know that I belong. That my boyfriend and I will be accepted and not ostracized. Yes, Kurt and I would have to be careful at times but at least on campus we could enjoy each others company.

As I turned and walk toward the dorms with Wes, I finally feel as if I'm done running from my past. What I endured before coming to Dalton is in the past. I'm where I belong now and with someone whom I feel I belong with.
