Title because I thought of Kurt singing that song (Sidekick by Starkid, from AVPSY) to Blaine, you know, the "It's not fair, I didn't know, I wasn't there" part? And I got emotional again, even though I don't think I ever stopped being emotional over the episode.
When a comedy makes you cry your eyes out. Sigh.
Sidekick
Blaine looked away from Artie's camera. He already texted his parents, they were on their way to the school, but…
Kurt.
Kurt didn't even know, and Blaine couldn't stand it. If he was about to… to… die, right here, right now- he needed to tell Kurt he still loved him, no matter what. Just let him know that he never stopped loving him until the very end.
His fingers were shaking when he typed.
Kurt. I'm here in school, there's someone with a gun and we're hiding in the choir room. I don't know what's going to happen and I'm so scared, but I need you to know this: I love you. I've never stopped and I never will.
A tear dropped onto the screen and he wiped it away with his thumb. Artie patted his shoulder.
His heart ached- he needed Kurt, his reassuring touch, his warmness and his calming words.
The phone buzzed, and he answered the call quickly, not stopping to look at the caller ID.
"Hello?" he whispered.
"Blaine! I don't know what going on oh god where are you what was that text are you serious is the police there what-"
"Shh, Kurt," Blaine muttered with a pain in his chest. "I'm in the choir room with bunch of other glee kids and Schue and Beiste. We don't know what's going on, and we heard two shots, but the police are here. And I… I'm really scared," he said in a tiny voice. "And I love you, and I don't want to die here without you knowing that."
The other end of the line was silent except for a few shaky breaths. "Blaine," Kurt said after a moment. "I love you." The tears were audible in his voice. "Be strong for me," he murmured, now obviously crying, his voice breaking. "Don't be afraid. I love you."
Blaine choked out a sob. "We promised to never say goodbye. I don't want to hang up."
"Don't."
