Blaine was shocked that Kurt was getting up to sing. He had never heard the other boy sing and didn’t remember him making mention of singing last night. Blaine was curious to hear how well the countertenor sang. Kurt had told him before his range, and he never believed it was possible.
“Thank you Mr. Schue. The song I’m going to sing isn’t randomly chosen, so listen closely.” The last thing he said was said straight at Blaine and he straightened up in his seat anxious to hear what Kurt was going to sing.
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
Kurt was singing Taylor Swift. Kurt was singing a song about needing someone who already has someone. Kurt said that they needed to listen closely. Was Kurt telling him he wanted to be with him?
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
Kurt’s eyes never left Blaine as he sang and danced around the room. He felt Sebastian’s eyes burning into the back of his head and knew that his message was at least getting around to some of the people sitting there.
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
Blaine finally realized that this song was for him. That Kurt was telling him that he belonged with him. And Blaine couldn’t agree any more than he already did.
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me
Kurt finished on a perfect note and took a little bow. Most of the club was shocked at his song choice, seeing as he usually stuck to Broadway songs, but clapped fully for him none the less. Sitting back in his seat a little flushed, he turned and saw the thumbs up that Finn shot him. Laughing at his stepbrother, he returned his focus to the front of the room where Mr. Schue was finishing his commentary on his performance. “A wonderful show of theatricality Kurt! It felt as if you were living the song!” If he only knew.
“Okay, so everyone, you know Sectionals is just around the corner, and I have the perfect song to get us support for the show! The solo’s in the song will go to Blaine, Rachel, and Kurt. I’ll let you all know what the song is tomorrow, along with our final setlist! Come prepared to dance! See you all tomorrow.”
Blaine tried to escape away to wait at Kurt’s car after Mr. Schue dismissed the group, but Sebastian caught his arm. “Hey, where’s the fire? I know it’s hot in here, but that’s just me.”
Blaine rolled his eyes. “Sebastian, just stop making a fool of yourself. If you haven’t noticed from what I told you yesterday, I’m not interested. So move your little legs and go find your next unsuspecting victim.”
“Oh feisty, I like it, but I don’t know if it works too well for you there sweetheart.”
“I don’t believe it’s being feisty, I like to think it’s being honest.” At that point, Kurt had walked up to the group, Rachel in tow.
“Is this filth bothering you Blaine?” Rachel asked
sweetly.
“Or not at all, in fact we were just finished, weren’t we Sebastian? I think my point is clear now.” Blaine responded.
With a huff of frustration, Sebastian turned and exited the room. “You handled that well. Didn’t expect that kind of sass from you Blaine.” Kurt said with a twinkle in his eyes and a sense of pride.
“He just annoys me so much. It’s like he’s asking to be slapped!”
“I’ll gladly slap him. He deserves it, the prick.” Kurt said with a slight edge to his voice.
“Save that for another time. Oh, by the way, I never told you how wonderful I thought your song was! Amazing choice!”
Kurt tried to hide his blush that was slowly forming. “The song just popped into my head! Usually I wouldn’t venture into such Top 40 music, but there’s a first for everything!”
“I approve, now how about a celebratory grande non-fat mocha on me?”
“That sounds like a very good idea.” Kurt said as the two boys exited the choir room.

I love the story update soon :) :)
As soon as I can darling :)
THE FLUFF CAVITIES KURT SERENADING BLAINE "Hey, where's the fire? I know it's hot in here, but that's just me." ^ THAT LINE KILLED ME My dear, keep up the good work! Can't wait till chapter 9! :D
Chapter 9 is in progress! I might have it up by the end of the night, but you have no more internet, so you will have to wait until tomorrow ;)
I'm loving this story! And I just love the Taylor Swift song you just used too. I thought I had that song on my iPad, but I didn't, just 9 of her other songs. So I bought it so I could listen to the song while I read this chapter! We saw her in concert back in October and she is amazing!
I'm not a huge Taylor Swift fan, but I appreciate her irony in the songs! Thanks for reviewing!
