Well I met Blaine around the same time as the rest of you guys did. I had to keep professional distance at the time and warn you guys he said pointing towards the original New Directions about spying on the warblers. Then we lost Kurt to the warblers. That nearly killed me and the group but we saw how happy he made you and for me that made it worth it. Kurt your happiness meant everything to us all in those days. My favorite memory was after Blaine transferred to Mckinley. It was after Mercedes had defected to the Troubletones with Santana and Brittany. Blaine approached me about wanting to do something to lift the morale of the group. I was thrilled with the idea and gave my approval. He put together a performance of Katy Perry’s Last Friday Night. It was amazing and did a world of good for morale. Despite what you thought Finn. Alright Shannon your turn smiled Will.

Coach Bieste’s memory

My memory she started is simple and short. It was his West Side Story audition. He belted out a rendition of Somethings coming and it set my lady parts on fire. He was Tony when I heard him sing. His voice was strong and had conviction. He could make you laugh and cry all at the same time. He did too when he and Rachel sang Tonight Tonight. He even commented during a practice that I cried every time they sang and I did. How could I not. That face and voice how could you not tear up. Okay who is next.

Nick stood up. Time to grin and hopefully not reveal too much he thought. There had to be away around Blaine’s past. But his best memory was when Blaine opened up to him. How much to tell he thought. How much of it did Kurt know. He didn’t really know for sure.

Nick’s uncomfortable memory

Okay Blaine will kill me Nick started but my best memory is from his first week at Dalton. As Wes said Blaine and I hit it off straight away. We played Polo together so it was easy for him to talk to me I guess. Right away he told me he was gay. That was a shock to me. He didn’t look like what I had thought gay guys looked like at all. My mental image was a guy in assless chaps and a see through tank top. Scary I know. I got to see the real Blaine. The one Kurt saw I might add. When he came to Dalton it wasn’t too long after the dance incident so he was still healing from that and was very afraid which was expected. A quick pause before Nick continued. Okay plainly put Blaine told me everything he had gone through. We cried together as he told me all about the beating he had endured. How some one could do that was beyond me. But Blaine had survived and was thriving. He even lead us to our first championship win in Polo in over a decade. That was the best game ever.

Nick finished and left the stage. Jeff walked up to the mic. Here is my story about Blaine he said.

Jeff’s memory

Well around Dalton I was the prankster every one knew that and knew to look out for me. I was famous for randomly tripping people or making the water fountain outside warbler hall spray crotches that kind of thing. Well someone forget to warn Blaine whether on purpose or not I don’t know but I kept getting him with that fountain. You would think after 2 or 3 times he would remember it was rigged but no he didn’t. Then one day right after he met Kurt he got pissed at me. He caught me rigging it just before practice was to start and told me to undo it before practice. Naturally I did not. I decided to have a little more fun with chief buzzkill. It would so be worth the demerits I would get as well. With the help of a few other guys I rigged a bucket of water above the door. I also enlisted the help of Kyle and Jared who would come in through the other door and call Blaine out. Fool proof right. Not so much. They came in and called Blaine out alright but that jackass demanded I go with him. The bucket fell and we were both wet then the idiot which was icing on the cake for me walks over to the rigged fountain and leans in to get a drink spraying his self right in the crotch. I stupidly yelled score. Big mistake Blaine turned and chased me all the way to the courtyard. Where he only caught me because I unceremoniously tripped over my own feet. After several punches and yelling he busted laughing. It was the first time we had ever gotten him to laugh. It was beautiful.

Kurt fondly remembered hearing that story and was never an unwitting victim thanks to Blaine. Jeff had tried though. Kurt looked up and saw his Dad crossing the stage. Dad had a memory oh boy Kurt thought. This could end badly. For now he would hope his dad wouldn’t tell something too embarrassing. Carole smiled over and said softly its not terrible Kurt.

Burt’s awkward memory

Kurt you may shoot me for this but I feel its fitting. Kurt felt his heart sink what was it. Blaine had just started coming around the house. He was the epitome of prime and proper no matter what. Even if he had to use the bathroom when he arrived he always waited for at least an hour before asking as was the customary amount of time to visit before asking for anything. He had times where you could tell in his eyes that he needed something and even when asked he would smile and say thank you sir but I am fine. Then one Saturday afternoon his dapper perfectionism was tested. He had come over to work on homework and then do a movie marathon with Kurt. He arrived in an interesting state but being Mr extreme prim and proper wouldn’t ask for what his face clearly said he needed. To make it worse Kurt hadn’t gotten back from his luncheon with Mercedes and Rachel yet. Blaine came in and sat down on the couch with a loud moan and groan. I asked him if he was okay and he said weakly I am fine and glanced towards the clock. He remained rigid and calm for several minutes then a tear ran down his cheek and he bit down on his lip. He clearly wasn’t fine. Blaine do you need to use the bathroom I asked him knowing full well he did. The lip biting and foot tapping were dead giveaways. He turned and said yes terribly bad but I haven’t been here long enough for it to be acceptable to ask to use your bathroom. Son I said to him its also not acceptable for you to wet yourself on my sofa either. Oh I won’t he hissed. I will hold it. It just hurts is all. Blaine you have been here and spent the night twice stop this you are no longer a guest in this house. Please stop torturing yourself. As soon as I got it out of my mouth the boy was long gone. Carole said he was in the hall bathroom as he had run past her with the drinks she had gone to the kitchen to retrieve.

A week later we had another awkward conversation at my garage. Oh no please dad don’t tell that story. This one was about teaching Kurt about the finer things of life. Glad he did too. It was terribly uncomfortable but telling Kurt to not throw himself around and that he was worth it felt right. Alright who is up next. I am said Sam.

Sam’s Memory

I didn’t know Blaine that well until after I came back to Mckinley. The tension in that choir room that first week was almost unbearable. Everyone was stressed and what happened was inevitable I guess. I wanted to do a belly roll dance like this he said doing a belly roll. Blaine didn’t like it and didn’t want to do it. Words were exchanged and Blaine lost his cool and yelled I AM NOT FOR SALE. I lost it and shoved him and he came right back after me and then he stormed out. The conversation a day or so later was what I remember most. It was after glee practice and I decided to be the bigger man and put this tension to rest. We didn’t need it then. Sectionals was in two days and we needed to all be in the right frame of mind and working as a team or we would lose. So I swallowed my pride and approached him as we left practice. Naturally Kurt was with him. Great I thought he will have back up if this goes badly. Luck was on my side that day. Once in the hall Kurt excused himself to the bathroom. Blaine turned and looked at me after Kurt had left and said what do you want. I extended my hand and said a truce. Blaine smiled and said I do too. We need one to get through Sectionals and can you teach me the belly roll. We need an edge you arr right and its the best we have. I was shocked and not sure I had heard him correctly. Alright cool I replied as Kurt reappeared in the hallway. Tomorrow after practice. Okay said Blaine has he smiled and left. What can I say we won.

Kurt pulled his phone from his pocket and saw the time it was now 9pm this was bound to last all night. There was still just as many people left to speak as there was people who had spoken. He had to admit though this was really good to hear. Blaine had touched so many lives and in so many different ways. Mercedes was now on the stage. Kurt wondered what lively diva had to say. As he looked up he saw several others leave the room. Bathroom break no doubt. Kurt thought to himself after Mercedes spoke. He was going to go visit it again himself.

Mercedes memory

It was no secret I had had a crush on Kurt. I even thought at one point we were dating. Then the same thing happened to Kurt with Blaine. We would all hangout and I was the third wheel. They never said I was but I sure felt it and I even was jealous of Blaine at first. Then I heard him sing and boy could he sing. He was clear competition and that wasn’t a good thing at all specially when he transferred to Mckinley. I was already dealing with being in Rachel’s shadow and now they found the male version of her. This wore off as fast as it started. Those eyes and smile could melt the hardest of hearts and he made Kurt soo happy. Kurt being happy was important specially since he had been through some much a year earlier.

Blaine as others have said had this quiet poise about him. He never wanted to be a bother. He preferred to do for himself. It seemed to be what he was used to. He never asked for anything ever. Then one afternoon he did. He wanted to do something special for Kurt. This was after West Side Story had closed. He wanted Kurt distracted the following Saturday to set his devious plan into motion. So I took Kurt shopping and to lunch then dropped him off to Blaine. Blaine told me later it had been perfect. Rose petals and lilacs all over the bed, romantic music and candles plus a picnic supper was set up on his back patio. This was the first time I had ever seen Blaine not act like Mr perfect. He was flustered and nuts. So he was human after all.

Mercedes walked off the stage and Mike headed up on the stage. Kurt decided to listen to Mike first as he wasn’t normally a talker. So this should be short. Kurt stretched his long legs out with a pop and relaxed himself once again. He also caught a glimpse at his clothes and reminded himself that the next frantic run to the hospital would be slowed and he would be dressed more appropriately. He had worn these very clothes to bed the night before. Oh the humanity out all day in what he had slept in. Kurt cringed at that thought. Gross so not classy.

Mike’s memory

For me my favorite time with Blaine was during practice for Sectionals. I was struggling with my singing and he stepped up and worked with me for 3 weeks straight. He kept telling me you have the voice and the power just let go and do it. He even asked one day during a marathon singing rehearsal. What are you afraid of? Something is holding you back. He was right. I wanted and needed my dads acceptance and approval when it came to performing. We bonded over Daddy issues kind of strange but it was something we shared.

David got up this time and walked to the stage. Okay Kurt thought I need something to drink and I really should pee soon. As David walked across the stage Kurt was on his feet and heading out the back doors with Puck clipping at his heels. Kurt come back I know this is tough on you but we are almost done called Puck. Plus they want you to share one. Puck stop I am fine or I will be in 45 seconds. I just need to hit the bathroom if you wouldn’t mind said Kurt. Oh right said a clearly embarrassed Puck well hurry up I am up next. Kurt handled his business and slid back into the very uncomfortable seat.

David’s memory

I like the other warblers here had the joyous task of repairing the fractured Blaine. He was soo afraid and jumpy those first weeks. Then he lost it on Jeff and it was easy to either get under his skin or to get him to take his guard down and just laugh. I was successful at that right around the time of our Christmas extravaganza. Kurt was around by now as well. Both boys were damaged and scared but Blaine became another person when Kurt was near. He was strong confident and almost arrogant to the point of cockiness. While this served him well in competition and when performing. Around campus it was becoming a nuisance. Seeing him with his new found swagger and confidence was amazing. After what he had survived it was a welcomed sight. Then the Christmas party came up and Blaine wanted to be cute and add a duet he was singing for something else and we allowed it. Not knowing that smug little bastard would turn it into a full stage performance. He set it all up including recruiting Kurt to sing opposite him. It was a beautiful performance. His ego for weeks after however sucked. He was far to cocky about it. So he won the Christmas competition we had yearly at Dalton. I was glad and sad when that bubble of his was busted in The Gap attack.

David made his way back to his seat. Kurt started counting up who was left. Far too many. There was Puck, Carole, Sue, Sugar Thad,Trent, both of Blaine’s parents Emma Santana, Sebastian Rory and himself. This was gonna take all night at this rate. Kurt agreed they were good memories but they were talking for too long. He needed a shower and to get back to Blaine.

Puck strode across the stage and began his memory.

Puck’s Memory

When Blaine came over to Mckinley I was busy with Shelby and my daughter Beth but I had some kickin times with the little dude. My favorite thing was jamming out before Glee club practice with him. He would often stroll in and pick up a guitar and just play. He was in his own world too. He would play and sing and smile. You could tell music made him happy. One day I got to hear him sing alone at the piano as he played. I stood there and thought is there nothing that little dude can’t do. I listened to what he was singing. It was nothing I had heard before. It was heartfelt too. He sang about pain and being hurt and rising above it all and finding real love in the midst of it all. It was awesome until he noticed me in the door way. Then he got all bashful and shit and quit playing. Never got to hear that song again.

Kurt knew the song. Though he had never heard it but he had seen it on Blaine’s keyboard in his room while waiting on Blaine to come back from the kitchen or bathroom. Blaine reappeared with drinks and chips before Kurt had a chance to play the song. He hadn’t seen it since that day either and Blaine had sheet music everywhere most days. Kurt looked up and saw Sebastian on the stage. This will be bad Kurt thought picking up his diet coke can and taking a swallow. What could he possibly have to say that wouldn’t piss him off.

Sebastian’s Memory

That man will always be sex on a stick and a voice like a dream started Sebastian. I wanted that man from the moment I saw him at Dalton. That proved to be no easy feat. With Kurt always popping up or Blaine himself abruptly leaving. But who am I to shy away from a challenge. Blaine was so worth it. Its funny though how things work out. I nearly got Blaine one night at Scandals after Kurt left for New York. Blaine was drunk and all over me. When this big meaty looking jock type guy comes over and socks me right in the face as I bent down to open Blaine’s fly. This buffoon grabbed Blaine up and tore out of there with him. I was in love with both of them. I never got Blaine but I did get the jock he said as he looked down to a now blushing Dave. Thanks man for stopping me that was terribly wrong and I would have regretted it.

The clock on Kurt’s phone now read 10:30pm. No missed calls but still Kurt needed to be there with Blaine. Blaine’s mom now headed to the stage along with Mr Shuester. The weeks events were visible on every face in the room and they were all tired. Mr Shuester walked up to the mic and stated that since it was so late that they would reconvene in the morning to finish it up. Oh thank God Kurt blurted out as he grabbed his jacket from the seat. I need to get to Blaine before surgery tomorrow. Would someone please take me I do not have my car here. Three sets of keys came flying at Kurt. Thanks he said picking up Finn’s keys and heading for the door. Kurt fled the building and jumped into Finn’s truck.
