Kurt never liked Sebastian. In fact, Kurt hated Sebastian. For that, Sebastian hated him in return. It all started when Sebastian started at McKinley High in grade 10. As soon as he arrived at the school, his attention turned to the countertenor and his best friend James. James was your average attractive high school boy and Sebastian wanted him. And what he wants, he gets. He took James away from Kurt in a matter of weeks and kept him for quite some time. Only the unfortunate happenings of James’ parents finding out about the two boys broke them apart. James’ abrupt departure only depressed Sebastian for a short period of time. Then Blaine Anderson came along.

Short, dark haired, hazel eyed Blaine Anderson. And of course, Kurt got their first. Kurt befriended Blaine and Sebastian didn’t like that fact one bit. So he tried to take him away like he had with James. That proved to be a harder chore than expected. Blaine was completely enthralled with Kurt in a way that James was never. It was a difficult feat that Sebastian had yet to conquer. But he would, he always does.

Seeing Kurt and Blaine walking around the hallways hand in hand, hearing about their new relationship together burned Sebastian deeply. Envy coursed through his veins at the sight of the boys together. Then they sang a duet in glee. That was the last straw. If Sebastian couldn’t have Blaine, than neither did Kurt.

Sebastian’s head was swimming with plans to get what he wanted. There was just one final loose end he had to tie up. “Hey sexy, haven’t heard from you in a while. How’s Colorado this time of year?”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the span of a couple of weeks, Kurt woke up every morning with a smile on his face. Blaine Anderson was his boyfriend. The wonderfully gorgeous tenor that lived across the street was his boyfriend. It was all in reality too. No more living in his dreams. He could freely go up to Blaine and kiss him without worry or hesitation. He could hold hands with him walking down the hallway without feeling like he shouldn’t. He could call him his. Finally.

The past few weeks had felt like a dream come true. Kurt was in love with his best friend and it was the most perfect feeling in the world. No awkward conversations, no stares were regarded as oddly, none of their behaviour was named weird. It really was like in the movies.

Every hug held a promise. Every embrace held hope. Every kiss showed the love the couple had for each other. The longing love that both boys kept inside for way too long. They were free to express it now, and Kurt was going to take every chance he could.

The boys had been in their own little world surrounded by everything that was each other. They didn’t even notice how close they and New Directions were to competing at Sectionals until one day in glee practice that they were torn from each other’s gazes by Mr. Schue.

“Ok guys, we all know that you are just getting used to being together, but can you please listen to me for once? You guys are going to absolutely love what I’m going to say.” Mr. Schue scolded.

Kurt felt a blush arise on his face and a quick glance at Blaine showed a similar reaction. Their attention was fully on Mr. Schue now, even if their hands stayed linked.

“Thank you boys. Now, as you all know, Sectionals is this Saturday and we have yet to decide on a set list. So I have decided that we will be doing one solo, one duet, and one group number for the competition.”

“Mr. Schue, I am very happy with your decision.” Rachel interjected. “I will gladly take the solo as well as the duet with Finn accompanied with the lead in the group number.” This earned a glare from every member in the room except Finn who just looked at his girlfriend in confusion.

“Actually Rachel, you’re getting the solo, but Santana gets the lead in the group number and Blaine and Kurt get the duet. There’s nothing you can do to change my mind right now. As for song choice, it’s a Broadway theme at this year’s Sectionals, so I expect you all to choose a song wisely. I’ll need your selections by Thursday as the competition is Saturday. Get to working guys.”

The room erupted in talk and everyone seemed to be trying to get their words in. “Well for my solo I want to do The Wizard and I from the Broadway show Wicked. I believe that we should follow a pattern from Wicked so Santana, what song do you think you could pull off? Blaine and Kurt would obviously be singing the famed duet from the show.” Rachel started.

Kurt turned to look at his boyfriend with a smile on his face. “Did Rachel just tell us to sing the song I think she did?” A smile played at the edge of his lips and he tried to contain his excitement.

“Why darling, I believe she did.”

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The week passed in a flurry of activity for everyone in glee. Rehearsals lasted longer than deemed healthy, and everyone was thoroughly exhausted. Kurt and Blaine hardly found time to practice their duet in between Rachel’s demanding group rehearsals. She insisted that every aspect of the song had to be perfect. They finally decided on Dancing Through Life for Santana to sing. True, it was originally sung by Fiyero, but Santana blew the roof off the auditorium with the song.

Saturday arrived and the New Directions were boarding the bus at McKinley ready to be on route to the concert hall where the competition was set to take place. Rachel pleaded with everyone to run vocal warm ups and the bus was filled with everyone’s voices. At the moment Rachel was in a heated argument with Santana over her voice being off tune. Typical Rachel, Kurt thought.

Blaine and him were curled up on a seat near the back and were silently trying to steer clear of Tornado Rachel. They had stayed up late the night before trying to perfect their already flawless number. Kurt was shaking with nerves over his first solo in front of a competition audience, and Blaine noticed his tenseness.

“Hey honey, what’s wrong?” Blaine asked.

“Nothing, I’m just a little nervous I guess. Has anyone ever died of stage fright before?”

“The only people dying today are going to be the people in the audience, because you and I are going to kill this thing.”

Kurt laughed at his boyfriend’s insanity and calmed down a smudge. The bus had stopped and they got out at the theater. Walking in, they grimaced at the lack of an audience they had so far. Rachel stomped through the aisles and made sure to get seats almost at the front of the orchestra. She was going on about how it would intimidate the audience when they performed.

The show started an hour later with Aural Intensity singing first. Their performance lacked originality and the showy feel to it. Another group followed and Kurt couldn’t be bothered to watch because he was restarting to hyperventilate over the upcoming song. Soon New Directions were on their feet and moving backstage.
Kurt and Blaine stood in the wings staring at Rachel singing ‘The Wizard and I’ onstage. Kurt hated to admit it, but that girl had talent.

“What if I mess up? What if I forget the lyrics or trip over my own feet?” Kurt wondered aloud.

Blaine softly chuckled before looking down at his boyfriend and placing a peck on his lips. “You have absolutely nothing to worry about. They are going to love you. And if they don’t, that’s their loss.” Blaine always knew exactly what to say and that warmed Kurt’s heart.

Before he knew it, he was being thrown onstage and the familiar music played. Kurt began the song in perfect key.

Kiss me too fiercely
Hold me too tight
I need help believing
You're with me tonight
My wildest dreaming’s
Could not foresee
Lying beside you
With you wanting me

Kurt threw all the passion he could muster into the song. When Rachel announced that he and Blaine would be singing this song, his heart soared. The words were just so right for the couple that he was able to sing without flaw.

And just for this moment
As long as you're mine
I've lost all resistance
And crossed some borderline
And if it turns out
It's over too fast
I'll make every last moment last
As long as you're mine

Blaine’s voice cut through his thoughts and he stared at the other boy as he waltzed onto the stage and took over next verse. God he was beautiful, Kurt thought.

Maybe I'm brainless
Maybe I'm wise
But you've got me seeing
Through different eyes
Somehow I've fallen
Under your spell
And somehow I'm feeling
It's up that I fell

Relinquishing the moment where they could blend their voices together, they stood a foot apart and poured all their emotions into the song. Neither boy broke eye contact with the other and Kurt was trying hard to breathe.

Every moment
As long as you're mine
I'll wake up my body
And make up for lost time

The hidden sexual message almost made Kurt blush, but then he remembered that he was onstage in front of hundreds of people and he needed to keep control over his hormones. He dropped off and Blaine continued on.

Say there's no future
For us as a pair

Seeing Blaine’s million watt smile made Kurt want to stop singing and just kiss him. He joined back in and grabbed Blaine’s out stretched hands. He knew it was risky, but at that point, it was just him and Blaine with no one else around them. No audience, no New Directions, no nobody.

And though I may know
I don't care!
Just for this moment
As long as you're mine
Come be how you want to
And see how bright we shine
Borrow the moonlight
Until it is through
And know I'll be here holding you
As long as you're mine

They finished with a bow and fell back as the rest of New Directions came onto the stage with Santana to begin ‘Dancing Through Life’. The song went off without a hitch and the group was laughing as they got off stage.
The wait for the winners was short lived and New Directions were ecstatic when they were announced as first. A group hug insinuated and they broke apart into smaller hugs. Kurt found himself wrapped around Blaine with tears in his eyes.

“We did it. We won!” Kurt almost screamed out.

“No, you did it. You were amazing Kurt. I can’t believe I get to call you mine.” Blaine pulled him into the wings again and gave him a passionate kiss filled with love and pride. “Come on, it’s time to celebrate.”

Puck was in the midst of telling everyone that there was going to be a party at his house when Blaine noticed him. A boy around their age was walking towards the group with a grin on his face. He was tall with blonde hair and striking green eyes. The way he walked oozed confidence and Blaine didn’t like the look he had on his handsome face. Before Blaine could speak, the boy tapped Kurt on the shoulder and the other boy turned around and his smile fell.

“Hey Kurt.” The blonde boy said.

“J-James?”
