Its been a long time since Kurt has performed.  Hes not sure how he let Elliot talked him into performing with him for the benefit in Central Park.  Elliot has made it his project to pull Kurt out of his funk.  He had to admit, Elliot was doing a pretty good job.  Anytime Kurt started to pull the blanket over his head to hide away from life, Elliot seemed to be there to yank him out of bed.  Kurt took a deep breath and bolted up the stairs to the stage.  He could do this, he was made for the stage.  Elliot walks up behind him and grabs his hand and squeezes it.  Come on Hummel, lets show um what we got.

The music starts and Kurt can feel the adrenaline in his veins, he looks over at Elliot who gives him a wink before he grabs the mike and starts...

Confident

Kurt

(He looks at the crowd and channels the old fierce Kurt Hummel from within)

Are you ready?

Its time for me take it

Im the boss right now

Not gonna fake it

Not when you go down

‘Cause this is my game

And you better come to play

(Elliot steps up with confidence with a look of defiance to the crowd and sings)

Elliot

I used to hold my freak back

Now Im letting go

I make my own choice

Bitch, I run this show

So leave the lights on

No, you cant make me behave

Kurt

So you say Im complicated

That I must be outta my mind

But youve had me underated

Rated, rated, rated

(Kurt and Elliot are at separate sides of the stage, challenging the audience with their words)

Kurt and Elliot

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

(Kurt turns to face Elliot and they make their way to each other at the center of the stage as they challenge each other while they sway their hips and dance, strutting their stuff for all its worth)

Kurt

Its time to get the chains out

Is your tongue tied up?

Cause this is my ground

And Im dangerous

And you can get off

But its all about me tonight

Elliot

So you say Im complicated

That I must be outta my mind

But youve had me underated

Rate, rated, rated

(Kurt and Elliot look at each other, each feeling invincible being on stage where they belong)

Kurt and Elliot

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

(Kurt and Elliot step closer together and now look each other up and down a little more provocatively taking each other in)

Kurt and Elliot

So you say Im complicated

But youve had me underrated

Kurt and Elliot

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

Whats wrong with being, whats wrong with being

Whats wrong with being confident

The crowd bursts into applause and whistles.  Kurt and Elliot are both breathing hard and just look at each other as they slowly come down from their high.  They finally look away from each other as the host thanks them as their cue to exit the stage. 

They both go behind the stage, the noise is blaring and they grab a couple bottles of water and a towel to wipe their faces. Its crowded and when they face each other again they can feel the heat radiating from each others bodies with the energy still there from the stage.  Both of them just look at each other for a moment, each not sure what to say.

"So, I think I need a drink, what about you," Elliot says finally breaking the silence between them despite the noise all around them.

"Yeah, I could definitely use a drink," Kurt says like its the best idea in the world.

Kurt was definitely not a drinker and rarely partook in alcohol because he hated the feel of loss of control.  When he did, it was mostly when he really needed to relax and let his inhibitions down.  He trusted Elliot and was feeling the need to get out of his head.  By the time they left the bar he had three drinks and though feeling less inhibited and a little tipsy he still was pretty in control of his actions.  Elliot seemed much more relaxed as well.  He offered to walk Kurt home and they both just giggled like school girls at everything, as they walked arm in arm most of the way.

Kurt got to his door and leans his temple on the coolness of the steal door.

Kurt turns and looks at Elliot with enthusiasm and sincerity, "Thank you for tonight, it was amazing, I cant tell you how much I needed to feel alive again and tonight was just so much of that."

"You are absolutely amazing Kurt.  You have no idea how much you ruled that stage.  We are absolutely kick ass when we are on the stage together.  Ive never had that chemistry on stage with anyone else, you just light this fire in me."  Before Kurt realizes it, Elliot moves in and presses his mouth hard to his, before he knows it they are kissing passionately giving into the build up of the tension from the whole night. 

Elliot pulls back as if the bravery of the alcohol had dried up and realization kicked in.  "Kurt I am so sorry.  I never meant to cross the line.  I know you are getting over Blaine and we are just friends and I would never want to take advantage of you," Elliot speedily rants and looks distress and shocked at his own actions.

Kurt cant help but lean in and kiss his lips softly to shut him up.  Elliot looks at him in awe, shocked into silence.

"El, I dont know if you noticed, but I was definitely kissing you back."

"I guess youre right," Elliot runs his hand in his hair nervously and look down trying to suppress a smile from his excitement building.  "I never expected this.  I have to admit, I have been starting to have feelings for you, for a while now.  Ive always been attracted to you Kurt, but you were never available so I just never let my thoughts go beyond a fleeting attraction."

"Ive been feeling the same.  This is kind of shocking and new to me, but I dont want to bury my feelings away.  I been hiding myself from feeling good for months.  I like feeling alive again and I feel that way when I am with you."

"Are you sure about this," Elliot said sincerely more so for Kurt than for himself.

"I cant say I am sure about anything Elliot, but I am sure that its something I want to explore."

Elliot kisses Kurt softly and deepens it a little before he pulls back.  He runs a finger along the side of Kurts face and looks at him like he is was seeing and taking him in for the very first time.

"So, pick you up tomorrow, maybe we can go out for coffee and maybe have our first official date," Elliot says with his soft warm smile.

"I think Id like that."
