A week later The Warblers were at Sectionals. They were standing in the foyer along with the Hipsters and New Directions. Diesel sat at Kurt's feet, obviously excited at the mass of people but remaining still- apart from his rapidly wagging tail. The New Directions led by Mr Schue approached the Warblers.
"We wanted to wish you luck" Mr Schue said to the group
"Thank you, the sentiment is returned" Wes replied- he was no longer fun Wes, he was now in full Council mode, it was honestly terrifying
"What?" Puck asked
"Good luck too you idiot" Trent snapped "Not that you deserve it if you don't understand basic English"
"Whoa man chill out" Finn exclaimed
"Whatever" Trent muttered, Thad put a hand on his friends shoulder in an attempt to calm his nerves
"Good luck guys" Kurt said smiling
"I found my dolphin" Brittany shouted happily pushing past Mr Schue to hug Kurt
"Hey Boo" Kurt laughed
"You better be treating him right or I swear I will cut you" Mercedes said holding onto Elliott's tie, who genuinely looked terrified
"'Cedes please don't kill my boyfriend" Kurt protested, he had told Mercedes about the relationship as soon as it had happened and of course Finn knew but it turned out neither of them had told the other members of New Directions
"What? You're dating him?" Rachel exclaimed
"Wanky" Santana said simply
"Yes, what's wrong with him?" Kurt asked
"He's the enemy" Rachel hissed
"Well he's your enemy, he's in my glee club" Kurt shrugged
"So you're the enemy now." Rachel said narrowing her eyes. "We can't be friends anymore" she said walking off
"Did she seriously just say that?" Thad asked
"Yeah but its Rachel, give her five minutes and she'll want their friendship back." Quinn smiled
"She values my fashion advice too much. I don't know why though considering no matter how hard I try she ends up simultaneously dressing like a toddler and grandmother" Kurt sighed
"Well we'll see you out there" Mr Schue smiled before leading the New Directions away
"Well she was intense" David laughed
"Rachel used to annoy the crap out of me when I was at McKinley I don't know how you managed to stay friends with her." Trent stated
"Hey Bird Brains" A voice shouted, the Warblers turned to see that Dani was walking towards them
"Danielle," Wes nodded
"Wesley" Dani smiled "I've come to support you like always"
"We appreciate it Dani" Elliott smiled back
"Well I hope you're coming to our sectionals, were not against Vocal Adrenaline so were bound to when, we're are against that school for the deaf" Dani explained
"Oh they're nice" Kurt added remembering the time the New Directions sang with them "Except when they stole our set list. Be careful, and if you're against the Jane Addams Academy they will do the same."
"We're against both so I'll tell the girls to be on their toes" Dani scowled, before bending down to stroke Diesel "Who's a cute thing" she cooed
"Will you look after him while we are on stage? I was going to ask Finn but..." Kurt trailed off
"Of course I will, does he always have to wear this vest?" She asked
"When I'm in class or going out yes. Otherwise he can't come inside" Kurt explained
"Poor puppy, must be warm" Dani cooed to Diesel who tried to lick her nose "Oh Cloud would love you"
"Who?"
"My husky, You, Elliott, Trent and I should all go on a dog walked together" Dani said cheerily
"Trent has a dog?" Kurt asked confused, Trent nodded
"His name is Prince, he's a Corgi"
"Does anyone else have pets I didn't know about?" Kurt asked
"Well Sebastian's mom is a crazy cat lady" Nick laughed
"And Jeff's parents own a riding stables so he has like a million horses" Flint added
"That's a lot of horses" Kurt murmured
"We only have about thirty, don't be stupid" Jeff pouted
"That is still a lot of horses"
"Come on guys we have to get to the dressing rooms we're on first remember" Wes said trying to herd the Warblers away from the foyer. Kurt bent down and put his hands either side of Diesel's face.
"Now you be good for Dani mister or no treats" Kurt said put couldn't help laughed when Diesel licked his nose
"We will be fine" Dani smiled taking Diesel's lead of Kurt, "Come on buddy" she called walking away to find the Warblers seats, Diesel looked very confused and kept turning around to look at Kurt and whining.
"You'll see him in ten minutes" Elliott said to Kurt quietly, taking Kurt's hand and guiding him towards the dressing room with the others.
"But he thinks I'm abandoning him, his little face" Kurt replied
"But imagine how happy he'll be when he sees his Daddy up on that stage dancing with all of his uncle's." Elliott laughed
"Well you're his step-dad" Kurt pointed out "Because if you count as my brother this is going to turn into another Finn situation and I can't handle that"
"Finn situation?" Elliott asked
"I may have had a crush on my step-brother before our parents started dating" Kurt shrugged
"We are so talking about this later" Elliott laughed
"There is nothing to talk about, I had a crush, and it went away. I found you" Kurt smiled kissing Elliott lightly before skipping away to talk to Trent.
The Warblers stood in formation behind the curtain. Blaine was in the middle surrounded by the other boys. Kurt felt nerves bubble in his stomach, although he didn't have a big part and there wasn't as much dancing as there had been for the New Directions he still didn't want to mess it up.
Kurt heard the announcer call their names and Elliott winked at him.
"This is it" Trent whispered, Kurt remembered this would be his first completion ever; Kurt smiled at him as the curtains were lifted and they began to sing.
Hey, hey, hey
Your lipstick stains
On the front lobe of my
Left-side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you
Blow my mind
Kurt and the other Warblers began to move across the stage as Blaine sang, Kurt couldn't help but smile. He was home.
Your sweet moonbeam
The smell of you in every
Single dream I dream
I knew when we collided
You're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Kurt spotted Rachel and the New Directions in the crowd and despite their previous conversation she smiled at him.
Hey, hey, hey
Just in time
I'm so glad you have
A one track mind like me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection
We can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat
Right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you
Like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
The way you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see, I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I can't be
I want the world to see you'll be with me
Hey soul sister
Ain't that mister mister
On the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair, you know
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Hey soul sister
I don't wanna miss
A single thing you do
Tonight
Hey, hey, hey
Tonight
Hey, hey, hey
Tonight
Applause filled the room when the Warblers stopped. Kurt could see the New Directions standing and clapping, Kurt waved to them. Elliott pointed out across the room and Kurt could see him pointing at Dani, who was struggling to hold up Diesel who wiggled excitedly. Kurt laughed.
The Warblers made their way off stage as the curtains fell and the Hipsters got into place.
"Well done guys the crowd loved us" Wes announced happily
"And well done to Trent and Kurt because it was their first show with us" David added
"Yeah" Thad said trapping Trent in a headlock
"You were perfect" Elliott whispered, coming up behind Kurt, wrapping his arms around Kurt's waist and kissing him on his cheek,
"So were you baby" Kurt said, turning around in Elliott's arms placing a kiss on his boyfriend's lips.
"Come on love birds, we're going to miss the others perform."Nick said
"Say's you Mr I-Can't-Go-Five-Minutes-Without-Jeff" James laughed
The Warblers made their way to their seats as the Hipsters began their performance. Dani told them they looked amazing and Diesel wiggled his way out of her arms and sat on Kurt instead. The New Directions had already moved to the dressing room to wait for their turn to perform. Kurt sat through the Hipsters performance, slightly bored. They were good for their age but they lacked the wow factor that kept people's attention.
When they finished the Warblers clapped before the New Directions took the stage. Kurt felt pride and sadness watching his old glee club perform. He wished he hadn't been a coward and given up, he wished he had stayed with them. But then he remembered that without leaving the New Directions he wouldn't have been such good friends with the Warblers. If Karofsky hadn't have pushed him away he wouldn't have a boyfriend.
Still it didn't stop him missing Rachel's bossy demeanour, Mercedes' powerful voice, Finn's stumbling attempt at dancing and Santana's judgemental stare. Sam and Quinn's duet was beautiful and Santana was perfect but Kurt could tell the group were tense. No matter how relaxed they had seemed in the foyer Kurt knew that Rachel wouldn't have been happy that she didn't get a solo and Artie looked pissed off. Never the less they were still amazing.
Once they had finished the Warblers stood and clapped and then made their way back behind stage to wait for the judges to make their decision. Diesel scampered around Kurt's feet but Kurt had been given no choice but to bring him back stage. Diesel had started howling when Kurt had tried to leave and wouldn't calm down.
"You did well out there tonight" Rachel said walking up to them,
"You guys did well too" Kurt smiled politely
"We would have done better if I had the lead, but we both know Mr Schue has been against me since the beginning" Rachel sighed "Is this Diesel?" Rachel bent down to stop him but the puppy moved away.
"He's shy" Kurt lied, unsure of why Diesel would act that way, maybe he didn't like her loud personality.
"Oh that's ok" Rachel said getting up, "Well I hope we win" she said walking away, once again leaving the Warblers practically speechless
