Skylar had been out of her mind with worry. Davy hasn't spoken to her properly since Blaine's track tryout yesterday. When they dropped him off, he kissed her hair as usual and then disappeared in to his house. He didn't call or text her last night. When Blaine picked them up this morning he informed them that when he went to Davy's house, his mom said he hitched a ride with his dad that morning.

What.

The.

Actual.

Fuck.

Was going here? Did she do the wrong thing, displaying her feelings so openly? Did she fuck up what they had like she feared? No. Couldn't have been. Davy said they would talk. That she should wait for tomorrow, which is today. But he didn't even ride with them today. And she was just confused as shit and scared out of her wits. She took a dangerous chance and now she has to deal with the consequences, whatever they were. Even if it means losing the guy she was so deeply in love with. At least she tried. At least she followed her heart. At least that's what she had to keep telling herself before she spontaneously combusted from worry.

"Stop the fucking worrying now Sky! I mean now!!!"

Fuck, Sare was furious. She stared at Sky intensely as they walked to their lockers.

"I know he loves you- Look at me Sky, listen to me. I know he loves you, I'm sure of it. Okay? Chill." Sara ordered.

"But Sare. He's acting... Strange. Don't you think? When was the last time you truly saw us separated when we absolutely didn't have to be? I'm getting antsy without him here. Even if we don't have class together, he's usually in the halls with me. Where the fuck is he? What is he doing? Does he not want to be around me anymore? How come he's avoiding me? Why does-"

"STOP. Look, have you ever thought that he might be doing something, something special? He told you to wait til today. He said that you guys would talk. No matter what happens you guys are gonna talk and you'll find out all you need to today. So there is no use at all worrying. Just calm down and stop freaking out. You'll be fine. Okay? You'll be fine."

Sky let out a huge sigh at Sara's words. As was normality, Sara was right. There was no use worrying. Unfortunately that didn't stop her from worrying though.

"So!" Sara was determined to brighten the mood. "Are you as excited about the last class of the day being a free period as I am? Cause Colfer damn it school work will kill us!"

"Yeah. I'd be even more excited if I knew what the fuck was happening around me." Sky said sulkily.

"I guarantee you'll be in a better mood by then. Wait, Glee club is before that today, right?" Sara questioned.

"Umm, yes. I think." Sky said kind of puzzled at Sara's expression. "Why do you ask?"

"Nothing!" Sara said a little too quickly.

"Sare?" Sky said threateningly. "You know something. What do you know?"

Sara thought back to a part of her conversation with Davy on the phone the night before.

"Just reassure her Sare, because I know her. She'll be worrying her ass off. And I just need to get her to listen in Glee before we talk. But that will happen in reverse if I see her at all before. I wanna make it special. Just keep her away from me, while reassuring her. Can you do me that favor?"

Well Davy, She was fulfilling her end. Quite nicely too, she might add.

"I know nothing." Sara put her hand across her chest like a pledge.

"Bullshit!" Sky said excitedly. "What? What do you know?"

"RAVEN!!!!" Sara shouted. Raven had just entered the hallway and she was eternally thankful to whichever source that sent her right then. Raven came over with a huge smile on her face. She held Sara's hand.

"Oh no, you won't escape. Raven is one of us. TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW!" Sky exclaimed.

"Nothing. Nada. Zilch. Nein. Nil. Zero!" Sara recited.

"Omc you know far too many languages! My head hurts!" Sky said exasperated.

Sara gave her a smile and a wink and Sky wondered how much of this she could take.

 Sue was puzzled. Who is this guy sitting in front of her? And why hadn't she noticed him before? This guy. He had a slight tan to his skin. And gloriously gorgeous curly hair. How in the hell did she not spot that?

"Guys." Mr. Gavin called their attention. She liked Mr. Gavin. He commanded respect, but always leveled with them. "We have kind of a new student with us. Well you all are new but I guess he is more new. Does that make sense? Well it doesn't have to, thank everything that I teach you all Geography and not English. Anyway, stand and introduce yourself mister?" He made the last word a question so the boy could say his name.

Her took the opening, turned to face the class and said "Cross. My name is Daryl Cross."

He looked over the class with a slight blush. Oh he's just all kinds of adorable isn't he!? His gaze finally settled on Sue and she watched him swallow thickly and blushed even more. So she decided to flash him a smile. He was now cherry red. Fucking adorable!

"Okay, welcome Mr. Cross. Now guys, I need you to pair off and study the map on your desks of the world. We'll be mapping the volcanic hotspots on the charts next to your maps. Ms. Masih, will you be so kind as to be Mr. Cross' partner today?"

Sue looked up and brightened at the task. Daryl moved his seat beside her and sat. Well Daryl. Time to get to know you better.

"Hi, I'm Suzanna!" She said politely.

"Hello." He said to her.

"So umm, where are from?" Sue questioned. She just wanted to know everything about this boy.

"I'm from San Francisco actually."

"Omc, what the hell are you doing in Lima then!?!?!" She exclaimed. The boy's bushy eyebrows met his hairline at Sue's outburst. Oh no, did she scare him away? Before she could really start thinking he started to laugh. A full-bodied, put your back into it, laugh.

"Oh that's a long story." He said, still with a smile on his face and a chuckle in his words.

"We've got lots of time." Sue said quietly.

Daryl looked at her in wonder. Why was this incredible girl even interested in anything he had to say?

"We do?" He asked.

"We do." Sue answered with a smile that could be seen from the top of he world.  "I've got only one question before we continue!" Sue said excitedly.

"Oh-kay." Daryl said puzzled.

"May I run my fingers through your curls?" Sue asked tentatively.

Daryl eyebrows disappeared entirely into his hairline at that question. What the- Well that was a new one. He gauged her expression to see how serious Sue really was. There was no trace of amusement in her face. She was completely serious. Oh well. I mean what could it hurt? A gorgeous girl's fingers through his hair was a win in his book. Though why she would want to touch his bushy head was beyond him.

"Umm. Oh-kay I guess." He said slowly.

Sue beamed and raised her right hand slowly toward the left side of his face. And she gently, carefully carded her fingers through his hair. He couldn't help but arch into the touch. Her hand felt awesome through his curls. He sighed happily and Sue let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She brought her hand to the nape of his neck to play with the curls there.

"Okay, tell me everything." She said smiling widely.

 "But his curls Sare! HIS CURLS!!! And he let me touch them!"

It was lunchtime and Sue had gone bonkers.

"He let me play with them guys!" She reached her hand out as if she was pulling her fingers through invisible hair.

"Oh shit, we've lost her. There's no way she's coming back anytime soon." Sara proclaimed.

Raven and Becks chuckled at Sue's antics.

Sky still looked worse for wear. She hadn't followed Sara's instructions of relaxation. She was unable to. At least it would soon be over. Davy said after Glee club, and Glee club was next. She'll know one way or the other his reasons for avoiding her.

She sighed. She was unable to eat anything in front of her.

"At least have some juice." She looked up to see Becks moving the bottle of Orange juice near to her.  "You need something, you don't look so good Sky..." She adjusted herself so she could give sky a hug. "It'll be fine. I believe that. But even if it isn't, we'll be here. Always." Becks hugged her more tightly.

Sky relaxed a little. She had her friends. Whether to celebrate in joy or cry out in sorrow, they'll be there when the dust settles. They'll all be there for her.

The bell rung signaling the end of lunch. Raven stood and held her hand out for Sara to take while still talking to Sue. Their handholding became just a natural occurrence, something that's expected. A kind of constant. Sky didn't move and neither did Becks. Sara took two steps before she realized they weren't following.

"Come on guys. You don't wanna be late, trust me." She said.

Sky kissed Becks on the cheek for being as sweet as she is. "Come, let's go face the music." She mumbled.

When the girls entered the choir room 5mins later it was almost already full. Sky scanned the room and realized the painfully obvious missing link. And it wasn't like he was just missing physically, with the lack of contact; it literally felt like a huge chunk of her was voided. She took a seat between Sue and Becks. At the very least, she was gonna be surrounded by people who loved her. She looked at Pipin and he gave her tentative smile, as if to say, don't worry about it. He always knew what was up with her. She looked down and her hands, she kept wringing them. She heard the door open and she looked up. Davy came through the door, and though he looked harried, it was like the sun peeking out from behind a cloud. He gave her a wide smile and she couldn't help but return it. He took a seat next to Pipin who immediately engaged him in conversation. Mr. Schuester came in at that moment.

"Hey guys, let's get this show on the road shall we? Blaine?" Blaine got up from his seat beside Pipin and went to the piano.

"Umm hey guys. I thought the piano version of this song is beautiful. Which is very fitting. Considering I'm really singing it to the most beautiful person I know. Inside and out." He didn't allow anyone any time to react; he just started playing.

 You think I'm pretty

 Without any makeup on

 You think I'm funny

 When I tell the punch line wrong

 I know you get me

 So I let my walls come down, down

Blaine closed his eyes at the truth of the words. He did let his walls fall. On his very first time really talking to Kurt, he knew he could trust him.

 Before you met me

 I was all right but things

 Were kinda heavy

 You brought me to life

 Now every February

 You'll be my Valentine, Valentine

He looked right into Kurt's eyes for the next lines, with a little smirk on his face. Kurt was a delightful shade of pink.

 Let's go all the way tonight

 No regrets, just love

 We can dance, until we die

 You and I, will be young forever

 You make me feel

 Like I'm livin' a

 Teenage dream

 The way you turn me on

 I can't sleep

 Let's run away and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

 My heart stops

 When you look at me

 Just one touch

 Now baby I believe

 This is real

 So take a chance and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

 We drove to Cali

 And got drunk on the beach

 Got a motel and

 Built a fort out of sheets

 I finally found you

 My missing puzzle piece

 I'm complete

These words were never truer than they were now, he and Kurt do fit like puzzle pieces. It was ridiculous how made for each other they were...

Let's go all the way tonight

 No regrets, just love

 We can dance, until we die

 You and I, will be young forever

You make me feel

 Like I'm livin' a

 Teenage dream

 The way you turn me on

 I can't sleep

 Let's run away and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

 My heart stops

 When you look at me

 Just one touch

 Now baby I believe

 This is real

 So take a chance and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

He looked up and gave Kurt a wink. Kurt was tomato red now.

 I'm a get your heart racing

 In my skin-tight jeans

 Be your teenage dream tonight

 Let you put your hands on me

 In my skin-tight jeans

 Be your teenage dream tonight

 Yoooouuu

He lifted one hand off the piano and pointed at Kurt for a few seconds. Kurt giggled.

 You make me feel

 Like I'm livin' a

 Teenage dream

 The way you turn me on

 I can't sleep

 Let's run away and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

 No

 My heart stops

 When you look at me

 Just one touch

 Now baby I believe

 This is real

 So take a chance and

 Don't ever look back,

 Don't ever look back

 I'm a get your heart racing

 In my skin-tight jeans

 Be your teenage dream tonight

 Let you put your hands on me

 In my skin-tight jeans

 Be your teenage dream tonight

Blaine finished with his choice keys to uproarious applause. "Well done Blaine!" Mr. Schuester said. But Blaine wasn't listening. He got up from the piano seat and went straight for Kurt. He took both his hands and drew him close and kissed him full on the lips. Moving in sync. Tentatively deepening the contact. Slow, sweet and sensual. They literally forgot that people were in the room. That is until they heard.

"WANKY!!!"

"Get it Blaine!"

"GOOO PIPIN!!!!"

Kurt was abruptly brought back to earth from his perch on cloud nine and was back to blushing. Blaine chuckled and led him back to their seats.

"Okay!" Mr. Schuester said a little awkwardly. "Davanne would you like to go now?"

"Yes, I would." Davy replied. Sky sat a little straighter.

Davy moved toward the acoustic guitar stand.

"Umm... This is an original composition. Is that all right?" He asked Mr. Schue.

"Oh yes that's perfectly fine. Perfectly fine. Go ahead." Mr. Schue replied.

He stood in the middle of the room, looked down on the guitar and started strumming.

There was a time in my life,

When I didn't know up from down,

I was just existing.

Then you were there,

And the morning came,

And I had a reason for living.

He looked up from his hands and stared right into Sky's cyan eyes.

My purpose became very clear to me.

The blinders had shifted and I could see (that)

You're every breath I take,

You're my willing escape,

You're the light at the end of this tunnel, so dark.

You are the very meaning,

Of all things worth dreaming,

A beacon in my times of trouble, an ark.

In a world where it feels like I'm tied to the ground,

And the chains won't let me fly,

I get lost in your eyes, high above the clouds,

Cause baby you are my sky.

Sky took a deep breath. The power of the words left her gasping. He wrote her a song. HE WROTE HER A FREAKING SONG.  

You showed me how,

To always be myself,

You simply loved me for me.

I was numb before you,

Only barely alive,

But at your touch I started to feel.

Now fire is blazing through my veins.

My life can never be the same (cause)

You're every breath I take,

You're my willing escape,

You're the light at the end of this tunnel, so dark.

You are the very meaning,

Of all things worth dreaming,

A beacon in my times of trouble, an ark.

In a world where it feels like I'm tied to the ground,

And the chains won't let me fly,

I get lost in your eyes, high above the clouds,

Cause baby you are my sky.

He walked from his place in the middle of the room to a spot right in front of Sky's chair. She needs to get this part at all cost.

Love without condition or measure

That's what I've found in you,

Completely accepting all my flaws,

Your love for me is true.

Whatever happens in our lives,

I need you to know,

I'll never let you go,

I'll never let you go. (cause)

You're every breath I take,

You're my willing escape,

You're the light at the end of this tunnel, so dark.

You are the very meaning,

Of all things worth dreaming,

A beacon in my times of trouble, an ark.

Baby, You're every breath I take,

You're my willing escape,

You're the light at the end of this tunnel, so dark.

You are the very meaning,

Of all things worth dreaming,

A beacon in my times of trouble, an ark.

In a world where it feels like I'm tied to the ground,

And the chains won't let me fly,

I get lost in your eyes, high above the clouds,

Cause baby you are my sky.

Cause baby you are my sky.

Baby you are my sky.

He finished strumming and realized his vision was blurry. And the reason for this was tears. When had he started crying? He vaguely registered the applause and praise from Mr. Schue. He looked at Sky and her face was a river. But there was a huge smile there and he just knew he was mirroring it. And he put the guitar on the stand and headed towards her.

Becks discreetly got up and went to sit in the row above. She turned to her right and met a dazzling smile from Noah. He got up and walked towards her. Everybody was already dispersing for free period. At least her free period would be eventful, to say the least.

Puck held out his hand to Becks. "Come on." She took his hand and he pulled her up out of the seat and led her out the choir room. They walked passed Sara and Raven and sauntered past Kurt pulling Blaine somewhere.

"Where are we going?" She asked.

"Someplace I go to be alone." Becks stiffened a little.

"You know I won't hurt you, I'd never hurt you."

She looked in his eyes and saw the truth of his words. She let the little tension ebb from her shoulders.

Turn's out Puck's alone place was a secluded area under the bleachers of the football field. It couldn't be seen unless you were actually looking. And he had made a makeshift bench where he could sit. Problem was that he made the bench to fit one. He really did come her alone. He promptly sat on the ground and gave Becks the seat. They sat in silence for a few minutes, until Puck decides to break it.

"So have you given any thought to what we were talking about yesterday?"

"I don't know Noah. I'm new, but I'm not deaf. I hear all these things that seem to be true. Now I don't take a person's past and judge anything, but I still have to be on my guard. Even if you are sweet." She added with a smile.

"And I'm not denying anything I did. Unless it's false of course. Rumors do spread sometimes. Though I did do at least some of those things. But there is something about you Rebecca. Something. You just, light the room when you step in. You're like a ball of energy. And it's infectious. And I just really wanna be near you. In whatever capacity you want me to be. I don't care. I just wanna be near you."

There was a light smattering of pink on Becks' cheeks as she grinned.

"In that case, how about we just be friends first and see where this goes? It would be lovely to get to know you for myself, and not just the reputation that precedes you." She said sweetly.

And really how could anyone deny that. She has this unmistakable pull around her. An Aura. He couldn't get enough. He'd agree to anything.

"I'd love that."

 Free period is the best invention known to man. Forget electricity and the invention of the wheel. FREE. PERIOD. Sara couldn't be happier than she was in this moment walking out of the choir room with Raven. For a while she was stress free and she was arm in arm with the most beautiful girl she'd ever seen. And for some strange reason, this girl liked her, and maybe thought she was beautiful too? She doesn't really know. They need to get pass this ‘avoiding the issue in favor of blushing stage'.

"Raven." She said quietly. Raven looked up at her with big brown eyes. It was so easy to get lost in those eyes. She wanted to lose herself in those eyes...

"Could we... Could we go some place and talk?"

"I was thinking the same thing." Raven replied. "Let's try a classroom. I mean almost everyone is outside anyway..." She trailed off. Sara found a classroom and pull them into it. She sat Raven down across from her, hands still linked. She lowered her head and studied their hands.

"See, I like this." She held up their hands. "I love this actually. It feels like so much of a connection with you, one that I don't wanna let go of... But I need to know what this all means. It's not just hand holding for me Raven. It means something deeper. And... And if it doesn't mean the same thing to you as it means to me, I need to know so I don't make you uncomfortable or... You can stop my rambling at any time you know."

Raven was sitting with a smile on her face.

"Why on earth would I do that? You're all kinds of adorable when you ramble. That's what I like about you Sara. You are you, without apology. Whether it's adorable rambling you, or strikingly accurate you, or terribly sarcastic you, or riotously hilarious you. Doesn't matter. You are you. The girl who treated me like I was her whole life this summer. Made me feel like I was the only girl in the world. And I thought I lost you, I really did. I thought fate was cruel. But here you are. You are right here. Fate gave me another chance. I'm not gonna screw it up. I'm gonna stay here with you as long as it allows me to."

With that she put her free hand on Sara's left cheek and moved forward. Sara didn't have time to freak out or panic or even think before soft lips touched hers. And it's gentle and caring and lovely. And she could see herself doing this for hours, no problem. And she could feel Raven's tongue on her lips asking for entrance, she gladly grants it to deepen the kiss. To feel as connected to Raven as she possibly can at that moment. And she can't really believe this is actually happening. This girl she'd been dreaming about for the longest while was kissing her, holding tightly to her hand and caressing her cheek. She felt light headed and giddy and free, but most of all, she felt whole.

Davy sat down beside Sky, took both of her hands in his own and said "Now we talk."

Sky was speechless. Free period was going to be interesting. They didn't say anything for a few minutes. They didn't notice the room emptying, they weren't aware of anything outside the two of them. Outside of their eyes, nothing else existed.

"You wrote me a song." Sky whispered softly. If Davy weren't so near he wouldn't have heard.

"You mean a lot to me Fuzz. I couldn't find a song that properly said how I felt. So I wrote one. I was scared before, scared that if I did this I'd lose you. And I couldn't deal with that. But, I had to give it a shot. As fate would have it, you sang before me. You sang of the same fears I was feeling. God Fuzz, we even feel all the same things... Did you like it?"

"Did I like- Are you kidding me? It was spectacular D. Amazing... I can't even describe it properly. I-"

Sky didn't finish. Davy was kissing her. On the lips.  Not her cheek, hair or hands. ON THE LIPS. She can't even think just how many times she has imagined his lips there. And her imagination could never measure up to this. They broke off a little, panting hard and staring each other down. She found herself getting out of her seat. Her body was moving off it's own volition. She straddled Davy on his chair and began to kiss him fiercely. And she sucked his bottom lip into her mouth and heard him moan at the sensation beneath her. And she didn't know where all this was coming from, maybe from years of pent up feelings, but it felt good and exhilarating and right. It felt right. His hands held her hips and grounded her so she wouldn't fall. She used her tongue to map and memorize the interior of his mouth. And they kissed deeply and languidly, like they had all the time in the world to get this right. And they did. All the time in the world. When they came up for air they rested their foreheads together and breathed each other in.

"Aishiteru, Skylar-chan." Davy whispered. And Sky's lips broke into a wide smile.

"Aishiteru, Davanne-kun." She responded. "So much. With all of me. With everything."

Davy moved one of his hands to the side of her head, playing with her short hair. He looked into her eyes, which were a deep blue now, and vowed.

"I'm never letting you go. It would physically hurt to lose you. I'll do everything in my power to be the best I can, for you." He kissed her nose and she closed her eyes, so he kissed her eyelids. And then both her cheeks.

"Yuiitsu no anata no tame ni. Wakarimasu ka?" He asked.

"Wakarimasu." She responded.

"Yoi." He answered.

"How much you wanna bet everybody goes home happy today?" Kurt asked as he ran his fingers through Blaine's gel free curls. They were on the bleachers of the track field. Blaine's head in Kurt's lap.

"I wouldn't bet against that. Did you see them all today?" Blaine responded getting more comfortable.

"We started a chain reaction."

"What do you mean?" Blaine asked.

"We got our shit together, and everybody did the same." Kurt laughed.

"Well a good example then!" Blaine piped up. "Come here." He used his hand to pull Kurt lips down to meet his. They kissed chastely, sweetly. And then pulled back. And Blaine was left staring in Kurt's eyes. Eyes that exuded trust and made him feel safe. Made him feel like he mattered. Made him feel loved.

Then the world stopped.

"I love you Kurt." Blaine said, with surety in his eyes and a warm steady voice. "I love you. And I know I may be crazy for saying this; maybe it's too soon. But it's what I feel. It's what I know in my soul to be true. I love you.

Kurt looked at Blaine with an overwhelmed expression. He had known he loved Blaine for a while now. He didn't think Blaine was there yet. And he was prepared to give him all the time in the world to get there. But he just said it. And meant it. Kurt felt like air.

"I love you too Blaine." He said airily. He let out a long breath of relief. All this time he really thought he was the only one in love. And he couldn't help it. Not with Blaine. And he could never see what Blaine saw in him. But Blaine was everything. He loved Blaine with everything.

"I love you with everything." He repeated aloud.
