We were meant to fly, you and I.
Never in the history of NYADA had the students been allowed to do a graded voice recital as a duet, but Kurt and Blaine took full advantage of this opportunity, along with the entire student body. They sat in the performance hall in their suits with their matching ties, watching people from their various classes perform. After what seemed like an eternity, they were finally up next.
"I'll give you a B+, that was very good, but it could have still been better," Mme. Tibodeaux said to the performers.
They nodded, seemed content, and walked off stage.
Kurt and Blaine followed them onto the stage and Blaine nodded for their music to start. They sang their rendition of "Perfect" flawlessly.
After the audience calmed down, Mme. Tibodeaux spoke. "Boys, why did you choose that song?" she asked. Her face was stern.
Kurt gulped and took the microphone. "That's one of our favorite songs and it means a lot to us," he replied.
"Blaine?" Mme. Tibodeaux asked.
He shakily took the microphone. "Um…," He took a deep breath. "Look, Mme. Tibodeaux, we know it wasn't on the list of recommendations, but we love the meaning behind it. We feel confident when singing it, and we kind of need that boost sometimes."
She studied the boys hard. "I understand. I liked the daring choice. You get an A," she said.
The boys nodded and said their thank you's but then hustled off the stage into the wings, where they threw their arms around each other.
"We have never sung that better!" Kurt said.
"I know! And we got an A! That's unheard of from her!" Blaine said. They went out for dinner to celebrate after, and then went back to the loft to continue their celebrations.
