The week passed by a slow tempo. It was like the media had their claws out and kept on throwing stones to whatever Blaine posted or did.

Kurt slowly watched Blaine's want to perform well turn into not caring anymore what was happening.

Kurt was worried, of course he was, but he hoped Blaine would be able to get over this and put his mind on the competition. It wasn't worth letting himself being voted out over.

He hoped that Blaine would be able to clear his mind while performing. It seemed to work, at least until they had to perform in groups.

Sebastian hadn't be any help at all, telling them that they were lying online and that it had been Kurt hacking Blaine's account.

Kurt wondered how long Sebastian thought he could play out this game. He couldn't keep it going forever.

The worst part of it was that the whole situation had Blaine walking on his tiptoes every time they had to perform together, and honestly Kurt felt the same.

He wanted to slap that meerkat smile of his face but he knew it wouldn't help.

So all he could do was be there for Blaine. Hold him tightly in the evening and give him words of courage in the morning. He hoped that would be enough.

The tension in the room was heavy as everyone was getting ready for the show.

Blaine was standing next to Kurt, not looking much at anyone in the room as he watched crew and  the other contestants sometimes gape at them.

Kurt wrapped his arms tightly around Blaine as he noticed for the umpteenth time how everyone was looking at them.

Blaine sighed in relieve and wrapped his arms tightly around Kurt as he breathed in everything that was Kurt.

Kurt pressed a soft kiss on his forehead, “it will be ok Blaine. Just think about the people out there waiting for you guys to perform. Just get it out of your head and enjoy the evening.”

Blaine smiled softly as he stood on his tiptoes and pressed a soft kiss against his lips, “thank you for the past few days.”

Kurt chuckled as he rolled his eyes, “you should never feel the need to thank me because I love you. I'd do anything for you.”

Jeff and Nick made that their moment to come closer, “guys seriously. Too much sap.”

Blaine let out a chuckle as he unwrapped himself out of Kurt's hug and went to hug Jeff and Nick.

Jeff and Nick frowned a bit but hugged him back tightly before they were called on stage.

“Let's do this, ok,” asked Blaine as he looked at his friends before turning slowly to Kurt. “Good luck, love,” he whispered as he leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on his lips.

Kurt would lie if he didn't say it took away his breath a little. With a pink blush on his cheeks, he made his way to the other side of the backstage room, not noticing how Blaine was blushing as well as Jeff and Nick teased him a bit.

And then it was time for the show to go on.

“Good evening everyone! Tonight we are joined by are last 6 candidates. This means that only 1 contestant has to go home tonight and it's up to you who has to go! But for now, please enjoy the show! Here are our 6 last contestants,” Olly said with a smile.

The music started playing and people were already letting out shouts of approval.

Roy walked on the stage and started singing immediately as he did some choreography on the stage:

Oh no
See you walking round like its a funeral
Not so serious, girl; why those feet cold?
We just getting started; dont you tip toe, tip toe

Luna made her way on the stage and made her way over to Roy, wrapping her arm playfully over his shoulder.

Ah!
Waste time with a masterpiece, dont waste time with a masterpiece (huh!)
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me (ah)

Luke made his way on the stage and started playing around with Luna.

Youre a real life fantasy, youre a real life fantasy (huh!)
But youre moving so carefully; lets start living dangerously

Kurt, the warblers and Sebastian made their way on the stage, each from a different side as they went into the bridge.

Talk to me, baby
Im going blind from this sweet, sweet craving, whoa
Lets lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean

Walk for me, baby
Ill be Diddy, youll be Naomi, whoa
Lets lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean (huh)

Kurt made his way over to the warblers and started grinning as Blaine looked a little surprised. Jeff and Nick on the other hand couldn't hide their smiles.

Hot damn
See you licking frosting from your own hands
Want another taste, Im begging, "Yes, man."
Im tired of all this candy on the dry land, dry land, oh

Sebastian didn't seem to get the hint and made his way over to the 2 of them and actually pushed Kurt away. Kurt had enough time though to recover and act like it was all part of the act.

Blaine on the other hand was frowning.

Waste time with a masterpiece, dont waste time with a masterpiece (huh!)
You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me (ah)

Blaine turned around to his friends and nodded with his head as they walked closer to the fans near the stage.

Youre a real life fantasy, youre a real life fantasy (huh!)
But youre moving so carefully; lets start living dangerously
Whoa

Everyone went back into the bridge as they spread around the stage. Some were giving hands to the fans, others were doing some dance moves.

Talk to me, baby
Im going blind from this sweet, sweet craving, whoa
Lets lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean

Walk for me, baby (walk for me now)
Ill be Diddy, youll be Naomi, whoa
Lets lose our minds and go crazy crazy
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean
Oh ah
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean
Oh ah
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean (huh)

Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Funfetti, Im ready; I need it every night
Red velvet, vanilla, chocolate in my life
Ah ya ya ya ya I keep on hoping well eat cake by the ocean (huh)

Olly came back on stage and shoed them of it, “those were are 6 last contestants. As you can see, we are up for an amazing night. Good evening and welcome by America's newest sensation.”

Kurt took Blaine's hand as they took a seat at the backstage.

Sebastian had looked very pissed at Kurt and Blaine after they had exited the stage but Kurt couldn't care less.

It was a miracle that they hadn't had words yet but he liked to keep it that way until the end of the show.

Kurt wrapped his arm around Blaine's shoulder and pressed a soft kiss against his cheek, “you won't be able to sit here long Blaine. You probably should already be at the backstage.”

Blaine sighed, “I know. Jeff and Nick are probably going nuts.”

Blaine leaned forward and pressed a long kiss against his lips, “see you in a few.”

And with that he skipped out of the backstage room, leaving Kurt with 3 pairs of eyes on him but he just shrugged it off.

That was it until he watched Sebastian's introduction video. It actually made his blood boil and he was actually glad that Blaine probably wouldn't be seeing this as he had just left the room.

Sebastian sat with a smirk on his face behind the camera, telling them about how surprised he was that the media had found out and how he was hurt by all the speculation with the media.

Kurt just sighed and hoped for once that Sebastian would blow his notes or just fall in front of a thousand viewers.

Sadly enough, it stayed by wishes.

With a sigh, he heaved himself out of his seat and made his way to the backstage room, thankful that he didn't have to leave Blaine alone for too long with Sebastian out there.

Those were worries for later though. Right now he needed to focus.

So he put all his attention on his song and his breathing techniques until he was standing at the backstage, grateful that he had to see at least the warblers their performance.

Blaine, Jeff and Nick came into view as their introduction video was played.

“Hi everyone,” Jeff started, “we made it to the 4th live show and we are very grateful for all your support these past few weeks!”

Nick and Blaine both nodded their heads, “we are also very grateful for all the messages we received on our facebook, Instagram and twitter account. We don't have enough time to answer all of them but we do read most of them and we really appreciate it.”

Blaine took a deep breath, “and for sure this week. I just want to say thank you to everyone showing their support to me and Kurt. The past few days haven't been easy but we made our way through this.”

Jeff and Nick wrapped him into a side hug as Blaine let a soft smile play on his sad face.

“Tonight, we'll be singing a classic song that popped in our mind as we thought back about this week,” Nick said.

“We hope you guys like it,” Jeff said with a soft smile.

“We love you guys,” Blaine said with a soft smile as well before they waved and a few short clips were messed together about them rehearsing dance moves and rehearsing the song.

The light were dimmed as they got back to the crowd. The guys were sitting on the stairs, all wearing darker but more dangerous clothes. There was only one spot shining on them.

The music filled the room and you didn't need to have a big music knowledge to know which song they were going to sing. Blaine took a deep sigh before he started the verse.

Where is the moment we needed the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue skies fade to grey
They tell me your passions gone away
And I dont need no carryin on

Blaine stood up, Jeff and Nick following behind as they all went into the next verse.

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
Youre faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your lifes been way off line
Youre falling to pieces every time
And I dont need no carryin on

They went to the fans as they all went into the bridge, urging the people to sing along and a few fans were happy to obligate.

Cause you had a bad day
Youre taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you dont know
You tell me dont lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera dont lie
Youre coming back down and you really dont mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Blaine started to sing alone again as he walked to the middle of the stage.

Well, you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I dont need no carryin on

Jeff and Nick started to sing along as they went back to the bridge.

You had a bad day
Youre taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you dont know
You tell me dont lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera dont lie
Youre coming back down and you really dont mind
You had a bad day

(oh, on a holiday)

Jeff and Nick had somehow arranged the next part to be a rap part. They had neatly transformed it and Kurt had to admit it worked pretty well with the classic.

Sometimes the system goes on the blink
And the whole thing turns out wrong
You might not make it back and you know
That you could be well, oh, that strong
And Im not wrong

(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

A keyboard had been rolled on the stage while the camera's had turned to Jeff and Nick who did the rap part.

Blaine had taken a seat behind the keyboard and started playing the last bridge, singing on his own as he poured every feeling into it.

Cause you had a bad day
Youre taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you dont know
You tell me dont lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
Youve seen what you like
And how does it feel for one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Blaine kept on playing a little longer until the notes slowly quiet down.

Jeff and Nick wrapped Blaine into a tight hug. Blaine patted them on the back carefully as they made their way towards the judges.

The crowd was still applauding as they stood next to Olly.

“Well that was a whole different take on a classic, guys,” Olly started.

They all nodded, knowing it was a risk they took but somehow they felt like it worked for them.

“Let's listen first to Nona,” Olly said as they all turned a bit more to put all their attention on Nona.

“Before we go to this, may I first ask you Blaine what has been going on the past week,” asked Nona with a frown on her face.

Blaine let out a sigh but he nodded as he took the microphone from Olly, “Yes you may ask me. I want to clear it up for once and for all because even though I did put out a statement, it seems like people still don't believe me.”

Jeff and Nick had wrapped an arm around his waist and Jeff was even leaning his head on his shoulder. It made him love his friends even more.

“I have no relationship with Sebastian but I do have a relationship with Kurt. We've been together for a while now and we are happy together. I hope by me saying this right now that people will stop speculating that Kurt hacked my facebook and so on. I don't want any fights and focus on the competition but I do would like it if Sebastian would stop sending out wrong messages in the world.”

Nona nodded her head, “thank you for clearing that up. I'm glad to see though that it didn't stop you guys from turning this into a good performance. I do think I got spoiled last time though because that performance was spectacular! I would love to see more like that from you guys! But by this circumstances, I totally can see your song choice. Well done guys!”

Blaine nodded in thanks as Nick and Jeff squeezed his waist.

Dean was the next one to speak, “I have to follow Nona. You guys spoiled us last week and I really want to see more like that next week. I did like though how you put a rap part in such a classic. Well done guys!”

Michael frowned next to him, “I have to disagree. I don't think you should mess with such a classic song. I do think you guys have to work a bit on the show itself though. Surprise me if you go through next week.”

A few people shouted their disagreement through the room but Blaine knew they were all right. They had kept it simple this week because it fitted the song but also because Blaine had been a bit under the weather.

Leona was the last one to talk, “first of all, I want to tell you to take good care of my team member,” she said with a smile as she pointed towards Blaine. Blaine chuckled as he felt his cheeks burn a bit and Jeff and Nick started laughing and patting on Blaine's back.

“That said,” said Leona with a smirk on her face, “I'd like to agree with Dean and Nona. I'm sure you guys will figure something out to surprise us next time though. Hope to see you next week!”

Blaine, Jeff and Nick all nodded as they said bye to Olly before they made their way to the backstage room to watch from there, not really wanting to stay with Sebastian in the same room without Kurt.

Kurt was standing at the side room. He gave Blaine a soft kiss on his cheek before he waved him away. He was proud of Blaine but right now he needed to focus on his own performance.

He heard his video play in the background as he was waiting.

“Hi everyone, we made it another week! I'm so happy I can say I'm by the last 6 candidates. Last week was tough on me because I had to see Mercedes go who was a really good friend of mine. And to add on that there was all the drama of the past few days. So tonight I want to forget about all the bad things and do something fun. I want to sing a song to Blaine tonight. The song is one I found a few days ago and it seemed perfect for this situation we got ourselves in. This one's for you.”

Kurt smiled as he heard his words being said. He made his way on the stage and took a stand behind the microphone.

The music started playing as the lights dimmed. A soft blueish spot was on him as he started singing.

Look around
Theres no one but you and me
Right here and now
The way it was meant to be
Theres a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything thats in our way
Were better than alright

On the background their started to play a slide show with pictures and short videos of him and Blaine as he went into the bridge.

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like theres nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
Ill be here every step
Walking between the raindrops with you

Take me now
The worlds such a crazy place
When the walls come down
Youll know Im here to stay
Theres nothing I would change
Knowing that together everything thats in our way
Were better than alright

And then there started falling rain out of the ceiling as soft smoke started filling the stage. They had put plastic on the stage to protect it as Kurt started singing as he looked up to let the water fall on his face.

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like theres nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
Ill be here every step
Walking between the raindrops with you

Theres a smile on my face
Knowing that together everything thats in our way
Were better than alright

Walking between the raindrops
Riding the aftershock beside you
Off into the sunset
Living like theres nothing left to lose
Chasing after gold mines
Crossing the fine lines we knew
Hold on and take a breath
Ill be here every step
Walking between the raindrops with you
Between the raindrops with you
Between the raindrops with you

The water stopped falling as the studio cleared up and it felt like the sun started shining again.

People started clapping as he hit the last notes and Kurt couldn't help but let a giggle escape his lips as he made his way towards Olly.

“Now that was something else,” Olly said as he watched a quiet wet Kurt stand next to him.

Kurt smiled towards him, “I should have thought this through. I ruined a very beautiful suit.”

Olly started chuckling as Leona, Nona and Dean joined him. “Let's hear what the judges have to say.

Leona smiled as she started talking first, “that was amazing performance Kurt. Next week no water though.”

Kurt chuckled as he winked to Leona, knowing she secretly had loved the idea.

Nona was the next to talk, “I didn't know the song but I'll be looking it up for sure. I think you did really well this week Kurt.”

Kurt nodded gratefully as they turned to Dean. “I liked the special touch with the rain. I do hope they have fresh clothes for you backstage. Keep it up Kurt!”

Kurt chuckled as he took the microphone, “I do have some spare clothes.”

Dean put up his thumbs. And then it was time for Michael, “I never thought I would see rain fall down this studio. I did think it was a good performance tough. Next week you better do as good!”

Kurt grinned as he thanked the judges and wrapped Olly in a sideways hug before he made his way towards the backstage, knowing Blaine would be waiting for him.

Kurt walked towards the backstage room and first went to another room to put on some different clothes.

Than he walked into the backstage room but as soon as he walked inside, he wished he had stayed in the other room a little bit longer.

Blaine and Sebastian were almost standing chest to chest and it was like no one dared to say something as Blaine almost looked red with anger while Sebastian wore a proud smirk.

Kurt cleared his throat and it was like all eyes were suddenly on him.

Blaine seemed to relax more and Jeff and Nick took that as their chance to take Blaine to the side, hoping there were no cameras around filming the drama.

Sebastian walked towards him with a smirk on his face until he was almost standing right in front of Kurt.

“What is your problem,” Kurt asked as he walked around him and instead walked towards Blaine.

At least that was the plan until Sebastian stopped him by taking his wrist.

Kurt turned around very slowly and snatched his wrist out of the grip Sebastian had on it.

“I'm sick of all the drama you are causing,” said Kurt in his quiet but very bitchy voice. “You have tried to get to Blaine since the first day here. He told you no. I'm going to tell you this once more and you better listen carefully. By saying that you are together with someone, doesn't mean you are really with someone. And in this case, it will never happen. I'm not gone be a bitch and tell you that Blaine is mine but I do want you to stay away from him as long as we are together. So please stop the fake news and just turn around and walk away.”

Kurt didn't realize he had leaned closer until he finally leaned back. He just turned around to take a seat next to Blaine who leaned in his side and cuddled him closer while Jeff and Nick were patting him on his back.

They didn't notice how Sebastian started freaking out. At least they didn't, until the sound of the television crashing on the floor made the whole room quiet down.
