"Okay guys," Mr Schue announced. "Sectionals are coming up and we need to start prepping!" The whole Glee club seemed fairly happy with this news, and then there was Rachel. Rachel who was clapping obnoxiously loud.
"Oh, Mr Schue, I have the perfect song idea!" Rachel exclaimed, literally jumping out of her seat.
"That's great Rachel, we can get to that a minute," The leader began, as Rachel hung her head and sat down in her seat slowly. "First, I was wondering if Kurt and Blaine would like to sing a duet for us," Mr Schue explained as the two boys looked at each other, slightly confused. "After their rendition of Count on Me earlier this year, I realised how well your voices went together and you have undeniable chemistry."
"Of course they have undeniable chemistry, look at them, they're perfect together." Rachel commented, perking up a little at the idea of her best friends singing a duet together.
"So what do you think?" Mr Schue questioned. Blaine glanced at Kurt who nodded only slightly.
"Uh, sure." Blaine agreed.
"Great," Mr Schue exclaimed, clasping his hands together. "Why don't the two of you come up with a few song choices and we'll decide as a group which one we think is best?" The two boys nodded in agreement.
"I can't believe Mr Schue asked us to sing a duet..." Kurt wondered aloud as they arrived at Blaine house that afternoon. It had become a regular thing for Kurt to go over to Blaine's house every Thursday after Glee practise and Blaine would go to Kurt's house for Friday Night Dinner every week.
"It's not really that surprising, I mean we kicked ass on that Bruno Mars song," Blaine laughed. "But seriously, you're really talented."
"So are you." Kurt pointed out.
"Okay, we're really talented, and we're gonna help win Sectionals."
"I think we need to pick a song first, any ideas?"
"Nope, I think it's time to consult my collection of sheet music again. Come on!" Blaine said, grabbing Kurt's hand and running up the staircase to his bedroom with their hands intertwined.
"Nervous?" Blaine asked his boyfriend, who was pretty much shaking with fear, three weeks later while they were standing backstage at Sectionals.
"Yeah," Kurt nodded shakily. "I was nervous when we performed to Glee club, this is..."
"You're going to be amazing," Blaine said, wrapping his arms around Kurt from behind and propping his head on the younger teens shoulder before kissing him on the cheek. "I love you."
"I love you too." Kurt sighed before the host called their schools name and they had to take their positions.
"And now, from William McKinley High....the New Directions!!"
The music sounded and Kurt was more nervous than he'd been in his entire life. Blaine was taking the first verse, as he did many times when they sang together. He walked out from one side of the stage and began to sing.
Easy come, easy go
That's just how you live, oh
Take, take, take it all
But you never give
Should've known you was trouble
From the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open?
Kurt joined in on the pre-chorus and walked out as he was singing, praying that he wouldn't trip over or anything equally embarrassing.
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever ask
'Cause what you don't understand is
The two boys turned to face each other as they began to belt out the chorus in complete harmony while the rest of the New Directions appeared behind them to sing backup vocals.
I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah yeah yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah yeah yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah yeah yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Kurt was about to take the next verse and it was taking everything in him not to throw up right then.
Black, black, black and blue
Beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said "hey" when you get back to where you're from
Mad boy, bad boy
That's just what you are
Yeah you smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Again, he and Blaine took the pre-chorus together. Kurt looked into Blaine's eyes just like he did the first time that they sung together, keeping his nerves at bay.
Gave you all I had
And you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yeah you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
As they sung the rest of the song together the New Directions sung back up like they had before, and the two boys turned around slightly to smile at their friends.
I'd catch a grenade for you (yeah yeah yeah)
Throw my hand on a blade for you (yeah yeah yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah yeah yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah yeah yeah)
Oh I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never ever ever did, baby
But, darling, I'd still catch a grenade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw my hand on the blade for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'd jump in front of a train for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You know I'd do anything for you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Oh, you'd never do the same
Oh, no no no
After the boys' duet, they had Rachel singing Don't Rain on My Parade and the whole of the New Directions singing My Life Would Suck Without You.
"Kurt, you were amazing!" Blaine exclaimed, enveloping his boyfriend in a huge hug.
"So were you." Kurt replied before pulling back to kiss the older teen.
"I'm so proud of you." Blaine whispered against Kurt's lips before kissing him again. They were kissing for a few minutes before they heard Puck all but yell 'GET A ROOM!' and the two boys jumped apart.
"Guys, that was incredible!" Mr Schue said, coming into the New Directions' changing room where previous 'activities' were happening. "Kurt, Blaine, your duet was breathtaking, Rachel, you were amazing as ever, and that final number...I'm so proud of you guys!"
There were several thank you's said to the teacher before they were called back on stage. The New Directions stood in the middle of the stage, Kurt and Blaine at the front in the middle holding hands, with Rachel next to Blaine and Quinn next to Kurt.
"And first place goes to......The New Directions!"
The whole room erupted into cheers as each of the group members exchanged hugs and smiles.
That evening, Blaine, Kurt and Quinn went over to Rachel's for a victory sleepover. They were in the middle of watching Alice in Wonderland when Rachel decided to speak.
"I know I'm like, really late here, but Blaine, Kurt, your duet was amazing today. We probably only won because of you guys."
"Thank you Rachel, but your solo and the group performance were also amazing; we can't take all the credit." Blaine added as Kurt looked at him lovingly before snuggling up closer to his boyfriend.
"Rachel's right though," Quinn added. "Your duet was definitely the best part of the show."
"Thank you Quinny." Kurt said, knowing that the nickname annoyed the blonde haired teen.
"Shut up, Kurtie." Quinn retorted, throwing a pillow at Kurt who hid behind Blaine, which resulted in the pillow hitting Blaine square in the face.
"Ow!" Blaine exclaimed as his friends began to burst into laughter. There had even been uncontrollable laughter elicited from Kurt, who was trying to hide his smile behind Blaine's back.
"Oh my gosh, Blaine," Kurt laughed. "I'm sorry."
"You don't sound very sorry." Blaine teased, turning around and attacking Kurt's sides with tickles. Kurt yelped in surprise before falling onto his back, much to Blaine's advantage, as the older teen climbed over him and tickled him with more pressure.
"Ah...Blaine...stop!" Kurt giggled, trying to squirm away from his boyfriend.
"Hmm...Nah, this is fun."
"Quinn are you...taking...photos!?" Kurt exclaimed as Blaine continued to tickle him.
"Remember your birthday present? How do you think I got the pictures?" Quinn laughed.
"You're...evil!" Minutes went by until Blaine finally stopped torturing Kurt and the younger teen sat there, full on pouting at him.
"Stop pouting at me, you're making me feel bad." Blaine said, half seriously.
"Nope." Kurt said, batting his eyelashes until Blaine tackled him over in a hug.
"Guys, don't get me wrong I love seeing you two all cutesy but I actually want to watch the movie so could you please be a little quieter?" Rachel asked.
"Yeah, Kurt." Blaine said jokingly.
"Shut up," Kurt said, sitting back up and swatting Blaine playfully in the arm. "You're the one who attacked me...twice."
"Come here," Blaine said, scooting into the corner of the sofa and opening his arms for Kurt who crawled into them happily. Kurt ended up pretty much lying across Blaine's lap while the older teen stroked through his boyfriends hair gently- an action which they both loved. "I love you so much." Blaine whispered into the top of Kurt's head where he placed a kiss.
"I love you too." Kurt replied, moving his head so that Blaine's lips were on his. They stayed like that until they heard a click and saw a flash bright enough that they noticed even though their eyes were closed.
"Did you just take a photo of us kissing?" Blaine asked, turning to face Quinn who was looking at them with a guilty smile on her face.
"I like taking photos...and you guys are adorable so..." Quinn said quietly, fiddling with her camera.
"You're so weird." Kurt said to the blonde teen.
"You'll thank me one day." Quinn smiled, winking at the boys before turning her attention back to the movie that was playing.
