"Dear Mom,
It's been a long time since I last wrote you, and for that I am very sorry. I've just been… busy.
Well, you know the story I'm sure so I really don't have to explain myself. I hope you're not as disappointed in me as I am of myself. I miss you more than ever. I'm so scared. It's been a long time. Blaine is so different… in a good way… a great way, but I have so many unanswered questions. First one being what if I'm not enough anymore?
Kurt"
"So how is Dalton life? Do you like it? Are the boys being nice to you? Did you make any new friends?" His father called upon receiving of his letter.
"Everything's great, dad." He laughed.
"How's Blaine?" Kurt gasped on the other line.
"You read my letter?!" Burt chuckled.
"No."
"Then….. WAIT! You knew?"
"Course I did, you think I'm going to let Blaine run off with some man to some strange place?"
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You never asked!" Burt replied in his defense. Kurt grumbled lightly and shook his head.
"Well class just ended and I'm going to lunch. Talk to you soon, dad."
"See ya bud."
Kurt continued his merry way down the elegant Dalton halls, hips swishing as he skipped to the café… when he heard the thump of a speaker.
He followed the opening beat where students had already gathered in such a mesh the Warblers were surrounded. Kurt supposed the hype was increased because of the disappointment of the cancelled performance from a few days back.
Kurt followed his feet as he weaved through the crowd of students to the front of the mass that made his eyes widen in shock.
"I want to change our selected song in our re-scheduled Warbler gathering." Blaine stated to a room of gasps.
"But it's in an hour, Blaine! Are you mental?" Wes retorted.
"Why the sudden change of plans, Blaine? Hmmm?" Asked Ethan.
"Yes, quite, hmmmm?" Commented Evan, easing his way toward him with knowing eyes.
"No reason," Blaine replied calmly, "I just… thought we should try something… different."
"How so?" Logan asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Well we always do a fast tempo song. Why not switch it up? You and Me?" Reassuring nods from the Warbler committee followed the suggestion. Everyone seemed pleased.
But Logan.
Logan was rarely pleased.
They rehearsed and said their goodbyes, departing until lunch would begin. But Logan took an extra amount of time to pack his bag. When the room was cleared, he talked to Blaine over his shoulder.
"So it's Kurt is it?" Blaine choked on the water he was drinking.
"No!" He spat out.
"Yes it is, but, HELL, who gives a fuck?" He walked silently over to Blaine snake-like, ready to pounce. Into his ear, he whispered, "Doesn't matter. You'll come to your senses." Logan's mouth was so close to his neck, Blaine would've sworn he licked him. Blaine walked away swiftly, praying he wouldn't follow.
So what if it was meant for Kurt? I mean, it wasn't. But… still.
Blaine's eyes were shining at him, as the Warblers swayed quietly, with occasional "oohs" and harmonies with Blaine voice as he sang.
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
His voice glided through the room, over the heads of helpless teenagers, and engulfing Kurt's head like a spell, enchanting.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
Dear Coop,
I'm hiding more and more nowadays. I thought maybe Kurt's arrival would turn me around, but now I'm covering myself up more so he doesn't find out what the last 4 years have withheld. Mostly because I don't want him to think it's his fault.
One of the things that I want to say just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
Blaine's eyes hadn't swayed from Kurt's. They were locked. Blaine felt his stomach float with butterflies as if nothing had changed between the two of them. But it was strange because he was so different…
Everything had changed.
Well, it least his relationship with Kurt was consistent.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
Kurt had to fight with his feet to keep them from moving, or leaving the floor. He felt a blush trickle up to his cheeks that he so desperately wished would disappear.
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
"I met a new boy at school today, mom." She smiled at me. "Yah! His name's Kurt. He's teased at school too because he likes tea parties and dolls instead of tag and action figures. But he's really really nice!" She nodded and smiled at me again.
"Just don't tell your father okay, dear?" Her face looked sad and worried.
"Will he think Kurt's… 'queer'?" I didn't understand why being different was a bad thing, but mom didn't answer for a long time, so I assume she meant yes.
"You shouldn't talk that way about you father." She replied, and kissed the top of my head before heading over to her cabinet. She wouldn't tell me what she was drinking. I assume it was a grown-up thing.
'Cause it's you and me and all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
and me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why, I can't keep my eyes off of you
The Warblers backed off into the crowd as Blaine sang the last few lines solo to Kurt and Kurt alone…
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
Applause rang out through the ballroom, and the teens began to disperse with the Warblers to the Great Hall. Blaine had his eyes trained on Kurt.
"Did- did you like it?" Blaine asked, blushing. Kurt's jaw was still opened as he tried to focus in on his question, but instead, he was focusing on was Blaine's lips. Just inches apart, looking so utterly perfect as he bit them nervously. He felt himself leaning closer, when a voice from behind Blaine startled him.
"Great job, team leader!" Smirked Logan with a pat on the back. Blaine scowled at his back as he followed the herd to lunch. He sighed and turned to Kurt.
"Shall we?" Kurt nodded and smiled as if nothing was wrong, took his hand, following the white rabbit down the hole.
