Everyone was freaking out, Kurt and Quinn were late to the choir room to head off for regionals in the mini bus with the rest of the group, Tina was screaming that she didn't have enough lines to sing and never got a solo, almost everyone was complaining about Blaine's slicked down hair and how awful it looked—even though it looked the complete opposite—also Rachel was practicing her vocal warm ups at an increasing volume which was doing everyone's head in causing everyone to have to swallow down paracetamol after paracetamol.

"If they aren't here in 2 minutes, we're leaving with the band dudes," Finn announced, whilst trying to lower Rachel's voice by offering her his cherry slushie ice.

"He'll be here," Blaine assured, even though he honestly had no idea if he would show.

"Don't you mean them," Santana snorted, "I've opted to stop talking about your crush on Hummel, but I can't if you carry on talking about it, I just can't."

Ignoring Santana completely Blaine fumbled around with the pockets of his jeans, taking out his iPhone and tapping in 'Kurt' on his list of contacts.

Kurt had given Blaine his number after their heart-to-heart after the very, very, very awesome hug outside the choir room they shared and vice versa.

Kurt picked up after the 6th ring, not that Blaine counted, no not at all.

"'Lo?" Kurt said, sounding as if he was in a hurricane with all the wind blowing into the end of the phone.

"Kurt, it's Blaine I—"

"I know who it is, Blaine, have you not heard of caller ID?" Kurt laughed, and it sounded as if keys were jingling in the background.

"W-well yeah, but, no—listen, why are you not at Glee Club, the mini bus is leaving in-" Blaine checked his watch for the time, "under 1 minute."

"Ugh, that was today?" Kurt groaned, faking confusion.

"Yes, Kurt, it's happening right now."

"Good thing I'm in my car then, and about 2 seconds away from school," Kurt laughed over the phone, stopping his car to a hault in the parking lot, "meet me outside?"

Blaine sighed in utter relief, "I'll drive with you there, wouldn't want you running off on us, would we now?"

"Stop flirting, Anderson," Kurt snickered, "we hugged, nothing more is going to happen."

Even though he wanted it to, he wanted something to happen so bad.

"You know it will, eventually," Blaine retorted, pushing past most of his Glee Club members to get through the door, hearing some protests behind him he shouted a quick, driving to Regionals with Kurt over his shoulder and headed outside.

"Oh, I don't know anything, but what I do know is that if you don't get your very cute butt outside in the next three seconds, I'm leaving without you."

"Ah, so someone does care about Glee Club, you had me thinking you were quite a stud, Kurt Hummel," Flirting was so easy with Kurt, he didn't know why he hadn't started dropping hints earlier, "also thank you, for calling my butt cute."

Scoffing and hanging up, stuffing his iPhone back in his pocket he saw Kurt standing against his car scowling down at his white iPhone, cool he has the same phone as me, Blaine stored that away in his brain for later uses.

Walking up towards Kurt raking in his perfect apperance and diving over to him with his arms open, making aeroplane arms and swinging them around, "and he goes in for the hug.."

"Rejected," Kurt laughs, moving out the way of Blaine's flailing arms.

"Do I get a kiss on the cheek?" He asked, pouting slightly as he rested his hands on both of Kurt's hip bones.

"No."

"A kiss on the lips?"

"No."

"A kiss on the hand?"

"No."

"A kiss on—"

"No."

"You want me," Blaine stated as he opened up the passenger side of Kurt's black car.

"Oh god," Kurt scoffed, slipping into the seat next to Blaine, "obviously."

"I knew it," Blaine winked, puckering his lips slightly, "kiss me?"

"Didn't I just say no? About one minute ago, you don't remember that?"

"Oh come on, we're friends now right?" Kurt shrugged then nodded at Blaine, "friends kiss occasionally.."

"Well I've been friends with Quinn for ages—who by the way, is on her way to regionals right now in her own car—and we've never kissed," Kurt stated matter-of-factly.

"That's because you're gay, Kurt," Blaine shook his head, sending Kurt a sort-of 'duh' expression.

"I'm not kissing you."

"But—"

"Blaine," Kurt whined, starting up the engine of his car.

"Fine, but I still expect that hug."

"Let's just get to Regionals in once piece, huh?" Kurt laughed, turning his car out of the McKinley car park.

The car ride to Regionals was not silent one little bit, it was filled with talk about the excitement and nerves about singing on a big stage, Kurt more nervous and shakey than Blaine, but that was probably because he was downing red bull after red bull because it gives you wings Blaine, wings, god wouldn't it be awesome to have wings, Blaine?

They had breached up to a conversation about Kurt's hair, and how he got it to stay perfectly in shape and always bright pink.

Burying his face in the steering wheel, which was hard because he didn't have his soft protector onit, "I spray it with pink every morning, then hairspray it back into position."

"So, it's not like—if I poared water all over your hair, right now, would it all just, go back to brown hair?" Blaine questioned, popping another red twizzler into his mouth.

"No. It's permanent, but wearing off which is why I need to keep spraying it, because I'm too lazy to go to the shop and buy some more," Kurt replied, opening his mouth for Blaine to put another sweet inside.

"I'd buy you some," Blaine announced, nodding his head.

"Really? You do that for me? Why?"

Blaine guestured to himself, then to Kurt, "In love with you remember.."

"I remember," Kurt sighed, he honestly still wasn't used to having someone physically in love with him, "I'll give you the mon—"

"No."

"I have to Blaine, I—"

"Kurt."

Kurt sighed, "Okay, whatever, but, do you think you could dye it for me too? Quinn did it for me first time, I wasn't really paying attention to what she did.."

"It's a date," Blaine smirked.

"No, Bla—"

"Eyes on the road, baby."

"Okay guys," Mr. Shue spoke into their show choir circle, "we're up first, which is good because the other groups have to try and level up to us and try and 'wow' the hundreds of people out there too, but honestly, I think we've got this one in the bag."

Santana scoffed, "you said that last year, and we lost."

"Positive thoughts, Satan," Blaine joked.

"Wait, w-we're first?" Kurt asked, eyes darting to everyone mustered in the circle, his hand unconciously gripped onto Blaine's.

"Yeah," Mr. Shue replied, quirking an eyebrow up, "is there a problem or—"

"N-no, I just, I've never performed infront of a crowd of hundreds."

He forced his view to look Blaine straight in the eyes, giving him a half 'help me' plead.

Blaine untwined their fingers and brought that hand up to Kurt's waist, pulling him closer into his embrace.

"You're perfect, your voice is perfect, everything about you is perfect, you're gunna be fine," Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear, kissing his cheek gently.

Kurt breathed out gently, still pressed up against Blaine's side, his cheek tingling, "are you sure?"

"Positive."

"'Fhanks," Kurt's voice was muffled by his face pressed into Blaine's shoulder.

"I love you," Blaine admitted into Kurt's hair, "and I'm so proud of you for doing this."

"I know—thanks."

They shared another hug, just like the one they had yesterday, this one just as magical and calming.

"Guys," Mr. Shue clicked his fingers in the center of the circle, "we ready to rock?"

"Yeah," Kurt and Blaine said simultaneously, causing them both to exchange blushing smiles.

"Lets go! New Directions on three.." They all put their hands in the middle, "one..two..three."

"New Directions!"

Finn opened his mouth to sing as the start of the music started to blare out of the speakers.

I remember every little thing

As if it happened only yesterday

Parking by the lake

And there was not another car in sight

And I never had a girl

Looking any better than you did

And all the kids at school

They were wishing they were me that night

Puck joined in with Finn's singing.

And now our bodies are oh so close and tight

It never felt so good, it never felt so right

Kurt was shaking, but he opened his mouth and sung, right with Blaine next to him, Blaine, the boy he was crushing on, accidently.

And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife

Blaine started grinding on Kurt's ass gently to the beat, making them both laugh, Kurt's nerves quickly running away, feeling completely care free.

C'mon, hold tight

C'mon, hold tight

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night

I can see paradise by the dashboard light

Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night (deep dark night)

They all formed a line at the front of the stage, shouting out the lyrics.

Paradise by

The dashboard light

Finn had agreed to give Kurt his solo in the second half of the song, and his voice was blending in perfectly.

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

Kurt and Blaine started thrusting their hips towards everyone, making fun out of the lyrics and making orgasm faces towards eachother.

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

We're gonna go all the way tonight

We're gonna go all the way

And tonight's the night

Rachel saw Kurt and Blaine messing around on stage and silently smiled to herself, belting out the words.

Stop right there!

I gotta know right now

Before we go any further

Do you love me

Will you love me forever

Do you need me

Will you never leave me

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life

Will you take me away

And will you make me your wife

Finn also spotted Kurt and Blaine dancing with eachother, laughing with Rachel, he sang out.

Let me sleep on it

(Sleep on it)

Baby, baby let me sleep on it

(Sleep on it)

Let me sleep on it

And I'll give you an answer in the morning

I gotta know right now!

Do you love me

(Do you, do you love me)

Will you love me forever

Do you need me

(Do you, do you need me)

Will you never leave me

Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life 

(Do you never leave me)

Will you take me away

(Do you, do you)

And will you make me your wife

(Do you love me)

And will you love me forever

Let me sleep on it

Will you love me forever

Let me sleep on it

Will you love me forever

Mouthing 'will you love me forever?' to Kurt he spun him around in his arms, mouths inches apart from eachothers then spun him back up, singing out his part of the song.

I couldn't take it any longer

Lord I was crazed

And when the feeling came upon me

Like a tidal wave

I started swearing to my god

And on my mother's grave

That I would love you to the end of time

I swore I would love you to the end of time

So now I'm praying for the end of time

To hurry up and arrive

'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you

I don't think that I can really survive

I'll never break my promise or forget my vow

But God only knows what I can do right now

I'm praying for the end of time

It's all that I can do (All that I can do!)

Prayin' for the end of time

So I can end my time with you! (You! Yeah!)

It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)

And it was so much better than it is today. (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)

It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)

And it was so much better than it is today. (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)

It was long ago and it was far away (It never felt so good, It never felt so right)

And it was so much better than it is today. (And we were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife)

Felt so right!

Felt so good!

Paradise!

When the song came to a close the audience stood up from their seats the applause was deafening to hear, it was so loud Blaine had to shove his fingers in his ears while getting into his next position for his and Quinn's duet whilst everyone else wandered off stage, but he managed to kiss Kurt on the cheek one last time before he went backstage.

Finally after the applause toned down and the music started, Blaine and Quinn started a tune.

Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh

Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh

You got these little things that you've been running from

You either love it or guess you don't

You're such a pretty thing to be running from anyone

A vision with nowhere to go

So tell me right now, you think you're ready for it

I wanna know why you got me going

So let's go, we'll take it outta here

I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live

Soon the chorus came and most teenagers in the audience obviously recognised the song and started jumping in their seats.

I'm ready to go

(Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind)

I'm ready to go

(Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh)

Quinn started to sing, voice delicate and soft.

You got these little things you wanted something for 'em

You'll either get it or guess you won't

What does it really mean to get nothing from anyone

There's a million ways it could go

So tell me right now, you think you're ready for it

I wanna know why you got me going

So let's go, we'll take it outta here

I think I'm ready to leap, I'm ready to live

All the other members of the New Directions ran out on stage for the second chorus and the music got louder and the feeling was awesome.

I'm ready to go

(Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind)

I'm ready to go

(Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh)

I think I'm ready, I think, I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think, I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think, I know I'm ready, I know

I think I'm ready, I think, I know

I'm ready to go

(Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind)

I'm ready to go

(Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm ready to go

(Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind)

I'm ready to go

(Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh)

I'm ready to go

(Get me out of my mind, get me out of my mind)

I'm ready to go

(Uh, oh, oh, oh, uh, oh, oh, oh)

The applause was the same as their first song's if not louder whilst all the props for Rachel's song started to appear on stage—which she insisted on having—in bulk.

The lights dimmed and the audience was silent, the only light was from the fairy lights on Rachel's vanity desk prop and the fake moon in the background letting off a small glow.

She propped herself on the stool of her vanity desk and when she started to sing the lights in the auditorium suddenly got lighter.

Primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl,

Would you do anything for me?

Buy a big diamond ring for me?

Would you get down on your knees for me?

Pop that pretty question right now, baby

Beauty queen on a silver screen

Living life like I'm in a dream

I know I've got a big ego

I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though

And it's sad to the core, core, core

Everyday is a chore, chore, chore

When you feel of a whole more more

I wanna be adored

Coz I'm a primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl

Fill the void up with Celluloid

Take a picture, I'm with the boys

Get what I want coz I asked for it

Not because I'm really that deserving of it

Living life like I'm in a play

In the lime light I want to stay

I know I've got a big ego

I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though

Going up, going down, down, down

Anything for the crown, crown, crown

With the lights that are down, down, down

I spin around

It was just Rachel on stage, the illusion was perfect and the audience was stunned silent.

Coz I'm a primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl, yeah

All I ever wanted was the world

I can't help that I need it all

The primadonna life, the rise and fall

You say that I'm kinda difficult

But it's always someone else's fault

Got you wrapped around my finger, babe

You can count on me to misbehave

Primadonna girl

"Wow!" Mr. Shue grinned as he came into the small secluded room backstage, seeing everyone sat on the sofa, Kurt and Blaine cuddled up together talking silently, "Guys, that was so good!"

Almost everyone beamed up at him, faces plastered with grins, laughing and giggling together with adrenaline still rushing through their systems.

Blocking everyones voices out Kurt felt as if he was finally home, here in Blaine's arms, snuggling up together like this was what he felt like being loved actually was, but he couldn't tell Blaine that, what if he got freaked out and left him? But how could Blaine leave him if he wasn't even actually with him.

Shaking his head to clear the thoughts he played with the buttons on Blaine's black dress shirt, smiling to himself as he kissed his forehead sweetly whispering "you were amazing," against it.

Yeah, this is what it feels like to be loved, and he was treasuring every second of it.

After the last group had finished performing everyone crowed on stage to hear the winners being announced, all at once everyones excitement turned into nerves and worried looks, everyone clashing hands with eachother and praying, hoping, for the best.

"And the winners of the 2012 Regionals show choir competition are.." The judge read out into the microphone clutching at a small slip of paper.

"All the way from McKinely in Ohio, the New Directions!" She shouted, and everything went silent.

Then applause broke out.

Then Kurt's shoulders were getting grabbed and his lips were smashed against Blaine's and everything was utterly perfect and he was having trouble breathing and fireworks were exploding around him, literally.

He unconiously wrapped his arms around Blaine's shoulders and deepened the kiss, immedietly licking his way inside his mouth earning Blaine to moan into his mouth and grab at his clothes more.

When they parted Kurt made a whimper of protest because jesus christ, Blaine's lips are so soft.

They didn't speak after that, no words were needed.

Just their mouths.

On eachothers mouths.
