Kurt walked out on the stage slowly, a sad but determined look on his face. He whispered to the pianist and made his way up to the mic. The band was taking a break, and Kurt knew this was his moment.

Hed been psyching himself up for the moment for months now. Who was he kidding, it had been years. How could he have let things get so bad? Oh, thats right, it was Blaine. It had always been Blaine.

Kurt couldnt take it anymore. The pining, the waiting, the hurting, the tears. But that all ended tonight. He had waited for the band to take five, because he wanted to make sure Blaine was there, in the audience, watching. Blaine was a creature of habit, so once on break, he would visit the bathroom then the bar.

Kurt waited until he saw Blaine head for the bar before taking the stage. He had never been so scared in all his life, but he also knew that he needed to do this for his own sanity.

As Kurt stepped up to the mic, the nerves hit. He began to shake, and everything in him wanted to turn and run, but when he looked out into the crowd and saw Blaine look back at him with a confused look, he knew he had to continue.

"Hi everyone," he began, his voice a little shaky. "I know the bands on a break, and they will be back shortly, but in the meantime, I would like to sing something. I know this is unusual, but its necessary." With that, he nodded to the pianist.

The opening notes filled the room and the crowd was suddenly silent, waiting. When Kurt opened his mouth and began singing, he wanted to look around at the reaction of the crowd, but couldnt take his eyes off Blaine.

From the first note he could see the flicker of recognition cross Blaines face. He could tell the exact moment Blaine realized he was singing the song for him, to him. Blaines jaw dropped and his eyes widened, and he turned to fully face the stage, drink forgotten on the bar.

Kurts angelic voice floated out over the bar, lower than his normal range but still strong and tinted with sadness.

Say something, Im giving up on you

Ill be the one, if you want me to

Anywhere, I wouldve followed you

Say something, Im giving up on you

The pianist joined in at the appropriate parts, singing softly, blending beautifully with Kurts voice.

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

And I will stumble and fall

Im still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

By this time, tears had started to fall down Kurts cheeks, and he ignored them. He had never allowed himself to be this vulnerable before, but he knew it was necessary.

Say something, Im giving up on you

Im sorry that I couldnt get to you

Anywhere, I wouldve followed you

Say something, Im giving up on you

And I will swallow my pride

Youre the one that I love

And Im saying goodbye

Kurt continued to sing directly to Blaine, not allowing himself to look away. He needed Blaine to know, to understand.

Say something, Im giving up on you

And Im sorry that I couldnt get to you

And anywhere, I wouldve followed you

Say something, Im giving up on you

Say something, Im giving up on you

Say something

After the last word, Kurt tore his eyes away from Blaines and was running offstage before the pianist finished the song.
