Blaine descends the steps quickly, the music building up. As he reaches the bottom of the steps, the intro breaks and he starts to sing.
So he said, "What's the problem baby?"
What's the problem, I don't know
Well maybe I'm in love
The word love is repeated, volume rising and I look around to see the people in the courtyard standing up and joining in. So that's why there are an abnormal amount of people out here. They're all part of this, I realize before focusing myself on Blaine again.
Think about it every time
I think about it, Can't stop thinking 'bout it
How much longer will it take to cure this
Just to cure it 'cause I can't ignore it if it's love (love)
Makes me wanna turn around and face me
But I don't know nothing 'bout love
He's on the ground now, standing on the pavement in front of our table. Tina and Rachel must have been on this too. Why didn't they tell me? …Then again, Blaine probably told them not to. I'm glad they didn't, I can't remember the last time my smile was this large.
Turning my head, I see the performers breaking off into pairs and suddenly a hand is extended to me. It's Blaine. Normally I wouldn't do it but this is Blaine. To hell with it, I grin and take it. He pulls me up and continues singing,
Come on, come on
Turn a little faster
Blaine spins me around in and I laugh out at how ridiculous, but fun this is.
Come on, come on
The world will follow after
Come on, come on
Because everybody's after love
He leads me in a dance that everyone around us also seems to know before dragging me to the table at the centre. I sit, looking around in wonder.
So I said, "I'm a snowball running"
Running down into the spring
That's coming all this love melting under blue sky
Belting out sunlight shimmering love
Blaine is synchronised with all the dancers, performing simple steps but making them look amazing.
These lines of lightning
Mean we're never alone
Never alone, no, no
As soon as the words leave him mouth, I know why Blaine picked this song. He's showing me how he feels, the letter now makes sense. It seems like he never wants me to feel alone. After this I don't think I will.
Come on, come on
Jump a little higher
Come on, come on
If you feel a little lighter
Come on, come on
We were once upon a time in love
We're accidentally in love
Accidentally
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
Accidentally in love
The ending is filled with jumps and spins, backing vocals coming from people I've never met but are obviously so willing to help someone out, serenading a boy he's trying to win over. It warms my heart that these people didn't care that the gesture was between two males. Maybe people are different then from how they are in Lima and not everyone is a homophobic ass.
I can feel myself feeling happier already, happier than I've been since I started here. Scratch that, this is the happiest I have been in years. No bullying, no slurs thrown at me, just happiness and love.
The song ends and I clap, tears of joy and happiness filling my eyes up. Cheering is loud around me, but then it stops and everyone goes back to their own lives, like nothing had happened. As I wonder how long it will take me to stop smiling, Blaine makes his way over.
"What did you think?" he says, gesturing around him, grinning broadly but looking slightly nervous as if scared of what I'm about to say. Why would anyone have anything negative to say about that?
"Blaine, that was amazing! This whole day was amazing!" I pause, "You're amazing."
The nervousness disappears and he looks relieved, while I blush slightly.
"Good! Good, I was really hoping you would like it. I'll come speak to you later, I just, need to go say thank you to these guys, you know, for helping" he says pointing over his shoulder.
Oh, yeah! Of course, okay" and with that he walks away. Within a matter of seconds, I have a face full of Tina and Rachel. The way Rachel's bouncing is so familiar, I'm considering the nickname 'Tigger' for her.
"Oh my god Kurt! That was amazing! Were you surprised?! I was surprised, well I knew something was going to happen, because of the letter and everything and I knew it would be something AMAZING and oh gosh, did you know it was Blaine in the letter? Or did I just spoil it? Oh I hope I didn't spoil it, this is your surprise and-"
"RACHEL! Rachel, breathe" Tina stops her from rambling and dragging her away from me. I nod in thanks.
"What… was all that about?" Blaine says, from behind, giving me the usual fright, his eyes following the girls.
"JESUS Blaine! I said to stop doing that"
I can tell he's trying to hold in his laughter, and it lasts a whole of two seconds before he's laughing and I realise I am too.
"You're really to easy to scare," he says, only just stopping his chuckle from affecting his words.
"Oh shush you," I nudge him playfully.
His face quickly becomes serious and I'm confused.
"Could we go back to our room? I still need to talk to you."
I frown, turning to face him.
"It's part of your surprise, trust me" he extends his hand to me.
The words ring in my ears. Trust me. That's the thing, I don't trust anyone more than Blaine. Apart from my father, but he's my family.
I take his hand, knowing that I would do anything for the boy stood in front of me and let him lead me to our dorm. Halfway there I notice we're still holding hands and it feels so right, like we fit together.
I automatically walk over to my bed when we enter the room, kicking off my shoes and sitting cross-legged. Blaine follows and does the exact same thing. It's second nature to us; if we need to talk, this is where and how we sit, a joint understanding that this is how we know we're there for each other.
Blaine clears his throat, "I should explain what happened today and could you, please, just keep your questions till the end?"
I nod, intrigued.
"…As you can probably guess it was me. Who wrote you the letter, I mean,“
My face shows no surprise so he nods jerkily and continues.
"I've felt like this for a while now, Kurt and I know I was a jerk to you, but in my head that was me trying to make you think I was cool. Lame, but it's true. Then the flirting - I had no idea what I was doing and it turned out, that I was hurting you. So when we had our fight and you left, I came up with a plan, a plan to show you how much you mean to me. The plan consisted of 6 parts, the first one being to find you in the woods and show you that there are people who care about you, Kurt. A load of people, that you might not see all of the time, but are there, always. The second part was this morning when I left you, but I'll come back to that. Third was the letter, fourth the cinema, now you know I do listen when you tell me these things, and the fifth was the song. I feel that's the best way for me to express my feelings. The gesture may have been a bit too much but that's who I am. I really, really like you Kurt." He finishes and it takes me a moment to process everything. Thoughts buzz around my mind for a while before I realize I have to vocalise my thoughts because Blaine is stood, looking very nervous. "No one has ever," I take Blaine's hand, "ever done anything like that for me before. And Blaine, I really like you too." His grin makes my stomach flip. "But what was the second part, what did you do when you left us this morning?"
"Right, I forgot to, um, mention that... I hope you don't mind, it wasn't really my place, but I felt like I needed to do it."
I frown, but nod for him to continue. Which he does, after sighing.
"Those guys that hurt you Kurt, they're ** and I was, and still am, so, so angry at them. They hurt the one thing that means the most to me and that's you, and even beating the living daylights out of them wasn't enough."
Whoa, what did Blaine just say?! He took on Karofsky and his friends?
"Hang On! What?"
"Oh, yeah, when you were unconscious, I kind of hunted them down and beat them up rather badly, but its fine! They didn't see me. I was invisible so they couldn't touch me."
He was invisible. That's why… oh my god. I can feel myself starting to laugh and Blaine looks hurt.
"No! God, sorry, I just, the past few days they've been looking so scared, like they had seen a ghost and now I know why."
Blaine joins me them and we chuckle for a while.
"Sorry, you were saying?"
"Anyway, so I did some snooping and found the corridor they got you and walked up it and I saw a pool of blood. I felt sick to my stomach, still do actually." He takes a moment looking into space and then shivers, imagining it in his mind. "As I looked around, I saw a security camera and for this past week I've been trying to get access to the room where all the tapes are kept. I got in, eventually, found the tape and as we speak, they're being expelled by Figgins. You're safe, Kurt."
Blaine… he got them expelled for me. He beat them up for me, risked getting seriously injured, for me. Blaine Anderson saved me.
Staring for a while in awe and wonder, something nags in my head.
"What's the sixth part of your plan?"
Instantly he's shy and nervous.
"OH, um right, yes, the sixth part... I was, I was wondering if..."
He looks down and curses himself quietly before looking straight at me, eyes bright and burning with something that I have never seen before or have never noticed, and I can't quite place what it is. His eyes flick down to my lips and I feel my breath leave me quickly.
"Kurt, I was wondering if I could kiss you?"
