Blaine wasn't complaining on Wednesday when he walked into school. This week had already been amazing, and he had two days left. He and Kurt had hung out during there off hours together, talking and listening to music together. And sat next to each other in all their classes, which was nice.
And although they got looks, Blaine didn't mind, because there wasn't anything there. They were just friends, but of course that could change. He hoped that could change. Because he really likes Kurt, and he was pretty sure he was starting to develop a little crush. Actually little was an understatement. Blaine was starting have a HUGE crush on Kurt. The only problem was that he had known Kurt a total of three days, and he wasn't sure if Kurt knew he was gay.
Although he was nervous for this day, it didn't have anything to do with Kurt, well it sort of did, but today he was auditioning for New Directions. Kurt had finally talked him into (Although he already knew he was going to audition to hang out with Kurt more) and even gave him some song suggestions and today was the day.
He made it through the first half of the day without getting nervous, just because he was distracted by his Math and French test. How crazy was it that on the third day back at school he already had tests! He was pretty sure he did well on his French test, but math was an entirely different story. And after a crappie health class, he was excited to be heading to APSUH to see Kurt again.
But when he got there, Kurt was no where to be found, and when the final bell rang he still wasn't in class. Which was weird because Kurt was in French, so where was he?
*Hey, Kurt this is Blaine, remember you gave me your number, anyway, I was wondering where you were?*
Wait, did that text sound too needy, or like he was really concerned about Kurt's whereabouts. But before he had time to have a full on freak out, his phone buzzed.
*Oh Blaine, always so worried. Don't be, I'm just at an important meeting with some other Glee club members, but I will be back for our off hours. -K*
What did he mean by important meeting? Blaine's head was rushing full of ideas, when it was brought to a halt by the fact that the teacher just announced a pop quiz, great now he could fail another test, all in the same day.
Kurt was meeting with the other ladies in the Glee Club to talk about Blaine's audition that was happening after school.
"Kurt, seriously, I think Blaine will be fine without us singing and dancing in the background. I mean he was the LEAD warbler. Plus we let anyone in the club; I think Mr. Shue just wants to see his range." Rachel was saying as Kurt handed out sheet music.
"And how do you know this is the song he will be singing?" Santana spat.
Kurt shot her a look and then turned back to the other ladies. Which consisted of Tina Rachel Mercedes and Quinn. "Look, I know Blaine will do fantastic. I just want him to have some extra pizzazz, because we all know Mr. Shue likes that. And he told me he was most likely doing this song. Which means he will."
"Kurt, you have known Blaine for what, three days? You are acting like he is your boyfriend or something." Kurt blushed at Santana's words.
"Oh my god! Kurt! Do you like Blaine" Mercedes asked.
"I-I don't like Blaine, like that." But he knew it was a lie, and he was pretty sure they did to.
"Look boo, if you like him, there is nothing wrong with that. I say go for it!" But Kurt couldn't listen to what Mercedes was saying. He was so conflicted, just like he had been on Monday. And this little talk that was getting brought up wasn't going to help his situation.
"Let's just get back to the song please."
He was really glad that it was his off hour, because he couldn't handle the nerves that were brought up due to Kurt's "important meeting" He wondered if it had anything to do with his audition, or if it was nothing. But that's all he could think about.
"Hey Blaine, dude you look a little sick, are you alright?"
"Uh - yea Mike fine, thanks though."
Mike was also in the Glee club and on the football team. And Blaine had heard he was a fantastic dancer, although he still hadn't seen him. They met Monday during 5th hour, and they had eaten together everyday this week, so today was not different.
"Are you sure, is it the audition today? Because I'm pretty sure you will do great, you were lead warbler."
"Maybe just a little, I haven't sung since... uh well since November. So I guess I just don't want to disappoint anyone."
Mike patted him on the back "Hey man, don't worry, you will be great, I cant wait to see what you bring to New Directions."
They sat at their usual table, eating their lunches slowly, while talking a little. There was still no sign of Kurt, and Blaine again was getting worried. But he couldn't let it show, because he still hadn't come out as gay, or as straight. No one had asked, so he wasn't telling anyone. After they finished eating, Mike, him, and Tina (Mikes Girlfriend) headed to the library to do homework and hang out until the bell rang. Mike and Tina didn't have 6th hour off, so when the bell rang and the two left, he was pretty much left alone. Although there were a few other people in the library, after the final bell rang, he was the only one there. His mind wandered on what he should do. Homework? Drawing? He couldn't decide, so he just sat there, thinking about the song he was going to sing for the rest of the Glee club after school.
Thankfully he didn't have to think about it that long because Kurt had finally showed up.
"Hey Blaine, sorry the meeting took a little longer than expected."
"Oh, it's all good." He said with a smile. "So, what was this meeting for anyway?"
Kurt shrugged. "Nothing really, you will find out later."
This made Blaine even more nervous. What was Kurt planning? It put him on edge the rest of the day. And when the final bell rang, Kurt had to practically drag him to the choir room.
"COME ON BLAINE" Kurt was yelling down the hall, "You will be FINE!!! LET'S GO!!" Blaine was fighting back, but finally stopped moving all together when they had made it to the choir room door.
Everyone was already inside, chatting away, just like any other normal day. You can do this Blaine, you can do this. He thought mentally as he was shoved in the room by Kurt. Everyone turned and smiled. Mercedes coming over and chatting away about something that had happened that day. But the entire time Blaine couldn't help but think about singing in front of everyone. Although it wasn't everyone he was worried about. Only Kurt. He was deathly afraid of looking like a fool in front of the seamlessly perfect man.
"Everyone take their seats, we are in for a treat today. Blaine you ready?" He shook his head in reply and headed toward the front as everyone took a seat.
Mentally he was telling himself he could do this, to just imagine everyone in their underwear, but nothing was helping he was SO nervous. He looked over at Finn who was at the drums and nodded. The beat started to play.
As the beat started to play, he could tell was nervous because he was shaking a little. But it was completely adorable. Blaine started to sing, and Kurt got lost.
Hey little girl with the cash to burn (Do, dodo, do, do, do)
Blaine looked completely taken aback by the added background from the other girls, but just went along with it, and continued singing.
Well I'm sellin' something you won't return (Do, dodo, do, do, do)
Hey little girl take me off the shelf (Do, dodo, do, do, do)
'Cause it's hard having fun playing with yourself (Do, dodo, do, do, do)
Kurt couldn't take his eyes off Blaine. He was 100% in his element. And everyone could tell. The song had only just begun but he was dancing around with the other ladies and making faces.
Once you've browsed through the whole selection
Shake those hips in my direction (AhhhHHhhh)
A prettier package you never did see (OooOOoooo)
Take me home then unwrap me
Shop around little darlin' I've got to be
The Ladies' Choice, (Ladies' Choice), Ladies' Choice
He had to laugh at the little dance Blaine did. It reminded him of the way Zefron had done it. Which meant that Blaine had definitely went home and watch Hairspray.
Hey little girl lookin' for a sale (Hey little girl lookin' for a sale)
Test drive this American male (Test drive this American male)
It's gonna take cash to fill my tank (gonna take cash to fill my tank)
So let's crack open your piggy bank
Hey little girl goin window shopping
I got something traffic stopping
By the time they had gotten around to the second chorus everyone in the choir room was dancing around and clapping. Even Kurt. This song was without doubt the right choice for Blaine to sing, and you could tell he was having a ball with it.
Hey, little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree
I'm the Ladies' Choice, (Ladies' Choice), Ladies' Choice
(ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh, ahhhhh) Wow!
Hey, little girl on a spending spree
I don't come cheap but the kisses come free
On closer inspection I'm sure that you'll agree
(OOOHHHHH!)
Hey little girl, listen to my plea
I come with a lifetime guarantee
And one day maybe we'll find that baby makes three
It's the Ladies' Choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice (Oh oh doo)
The Ladies' Choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice choice choice
I'm the Ladies' Choice
The song was over and everyone in the choir room was laughing and clapping. Blaine was out of breath, but still managed to do a little dance on the way back to his chair. Sitting hard and almost falling on the floor. Kurt couldn't help but laugh as he helped his friend regain his balance.
After Glee, Kurt suggested coffee, and Blaine gladly accepted.
