Kurt looked to his right over the stage. It surprised him as he thought back to the beginning when the stage was almost full.
Now they were only a few more left. Ready to lose one of them once again.
Olly came on the stage and the room grew quiet.
“Today we'll know who is going to the semifinals! But first we have to say goodbye to one more person.”
Olly opened the envelope he was holding and looked over all of them.
“The first one to make it to the semifinals is,” Olly started. Kurt rubbed his hands together from the suspense. “Luna.”
People started cheering and applauding for her as she shook hands with her coach Dean and waved once more to the crowd.
“To join her backstage is….. Roy.”
Roy let out a big sigh of relief and waved to the people as well before making his way to join Luna.
“Also makes it to the semifinals…,” Olly started. Kurt looked to his right to see Blaine look at him with a soft smile on his face. Kurt smiled softly back at him when he heard it, “Kurt.”
The crowd started cheering as well for him and Kurt let out a big sigh of relief as he hugged Leona. He gave some thumbs up to the warblers when he left the stage when he saw Blaine's eyes watching him. He hoped they could both make it to the next round.
He heard Olly try to make the crowd grow even more tense as he hugged Luna and Roy backstage. They wrapped him into their arms as they watched from the backstage who would join them last.
Luna and Roy were supporting for both but Kurt couldn't help but support for the warblers a little more.
Time seemed to go on and on forever but then he heard Olly say the words of relieve, “THE WARBLERS!”
He heard some girls cheer in the crowd as Jeff, Blaine and Nick fell into each other's arms. Jeff tried to mess with Blaine's hair who slapped his hand away.
Kurt chuckled and ran up the stage as they got the cue they could and went to hug his boyfriend and friends as the others started hugging Luke.
The last view the people at home got were all of them wrapped into a group hug as Olly said goodbye to the viewers.
Kurt smiled softly as he tucked his head a little more against Blaine's neck.
Blaine started chuckling softly as he tried to pull his neck away from Kurt's soft breathing.
“Good morning,” he said in his raspy morning voice that Kurt loved so much.
Kurt leaned himself up on his arm and smiled down at Blaine. “Good morning, how did you sleep?”
“Surprisingly well,” Blaine smiled, “I honestly thought I wouldn't after last night. I still feel the butterflies in my stomach like I'm still standing on that stage.”
Kurt chuckled, “well we're still here. Top 4.” Kurt let out a long sigh, “I still can't believe it.”
Blaine kissed him softly on his lips. “You better do because in,” he looked at his watch, “an hour we have to be at the studios to learn more about these semifinals.”
Kurt immediately jumped out of bed, “I get the shower first.”
And with that he ran into the bathroom, leaving a chuckling Blaine in his bed, shaking his head but loving it at the same time.
All the contestants were sitting in one of the large rehearsal rooms. They were talking excitedly about what was going to happen next.
Luna kept on going about how last season they had to perform with famous artists and how she really hoped that the same thing would happen this year.
All of them agreed and started to grow even more excited as they started speculating who they were going to perform with.
The room grew immediately quiet when the four coaches walked into the room.
Everyone seemed rather happy as all of them had still one contestant in the running, which was very unique for the show.
“How are you guys doing,” asked Leona as she sat down on the small stage.
They all started saying they were doing ok as they nodded their heads.
“Well, you should be as you made it to the final 4!”
They all looked at each other with huge smiles on their faces.
“Now you only need to know what we have in store for you guys in these semifinals,” said Michael.
Luna slowly leaned closer and started rubbing her hands. She looked ready to explode if she didn't get any news sooner. Jeff, Nick and Blaine softly chuckled and Kurt and Roy couldn't help joining them.
“First of all you should know that you guys will be singing 3 songs on the semifinals night,” started Michael. “First of we will start with the usual group number. Second you will be singing a solo song and to end with we will team you up with a famous artist.”
Luna let out a shriek that was so loud that Jeff almost jumped out of the room, much to Blaine's and Nick's hilarity.
Everyone started laughing but inward they were all dying to know who they would be singing with.
“So for the group number, you will be rehearsing today. You will have a day to perfect this number as a group. After that there will be repetitions for your solo number and the duet with the famous artist,” said Nona.
Everyone started talking among themselves in excitement.
Dean cleared his throat, “now you will know who you will be performing with later this week.”
That earned a pout from Blaine and Luna. Kurt chuckled softly and squeezed Blaine's hand.
“Now you all should get ready for rehearsal. You only have today for your group number and it's a good one,” Dean said.
The coaches said goodbye to their contestants and left the room so they could wait for their dance teacher and their mutual vocal coach to arrive.
It was late in the evening before the competition when all of them were sitting at the kitchen island in Kurt and the warblers room.
They had just enjoyed some pizza and drinks as they enjoyed their last evening with 4 contestants.
Luna had a smirk on her face as she took a sip of her drink, “so guys who will you be performing with tomorrow?”
They had all kept it a secret. Everyone had started guessing at some point and tried to guess who the others would be performing with but so far no one had yet guessed.
“No Luna, it won't happen,” said Kurt with a grin as he leaned closer in Blaine's embrace.
Luna pouted, “common guys, I'll know tomorrow anyway.”
Roy chuckled, “so you should wait another day.”
Luna let out a groan and let her head fall against the kitchen island.
Jeff started laughing and patted her on the back, “common Luna, in a few hours you'll know.”
“I'm just so curious. Like what if one of you is performing with Avril Lavigne, I would die on stage,” she whined.
No one could help but smile. They all knew about her Avril Lavigne obsession.
Kurt smirked, “well I'm not performing with her.”
“We are neither,” said the Warblers.
Luna looked hopeful at Roy, “I'm sorry.”
Luna sighed, “damn it.”
Kurt shrugged, “well that's already one artist to cross of the possibility list.”
Roy looked at his watch, “it's getting late. I'm heading to bed. Tomorrow is a big night. You coming Luna?”
They all said goodbye before going to bed.
Tomorrow they would know who would be going to the finals. Neither of them slept really well as nerves started to grow and thoughts started going to the big price ahead of them.
