“So…” Blaine started. “I thought we’d start with you showing me what you’ve got, I mean, I heard about your audition and what you did with Not The Boy Next Door, I think that was extremely brave of you, but I just wanted to get a feel of your voice, what needs improving and whatnot.”
“But I er… don’t have anything prepared or anything.” Kurt replied nervously, searching his brain for lyrics, something which he knew he wouldn’t screw up on.
“Go with your heart, a song that means a lot to you, a song that you think shows your voice in the best possible way.”
Kurt knew Rachel didn’t have a problem with this, by now she would probably be halfway through her go-to song, wowing her tutor, and showing off her brilliance. “I ,er, have one, but it’s not traditionally sung by a guy. Can I play the backing track on my phone, or do you want me acapella?”
‘I want you in less layers’ Blaine thought ‘even though those jeans to exceptional things to your ass. No! You can’t think like that Blaine. He’s your student. It may not be illegal, but it would cost you your job, and you’ve only just got it! What’s more important, your job or giving in to your libido? Come on Blaine!’
Blaine blushed at his thoughts, then shook them off. Kurt was staring at his expectantly. ‘What did he ask me? Oh yeah.’
“Sorry, I zoned out for a minute there!” he laughed nervously. “Whichever makes you feel more comfortable.”
Kurt got out his phone and skimmed through his songs, looking for the right one. He pressed play, and waited for the first few chords to start up.

“Something has changed within me,
Something is not the same.
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game.
Too late for second-guessing,
Too late to go back to sleep.
It's time to trust my instincts,
Close my eyes and leap.

It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye I'm
Defying Gravity
And you won't bring me down.

I'm through accepting limits,
'Cause someone says they're so.
Some things I cannot change,
But till I try, I'll never know.
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost.
Well, if that's love,
It comes at much too high a cost!

I'd sooner buy,
Defying gravity.
Kiss me goodbye,
I'm defying gravity.
I think I'll try
Defying Gravity
And you won't bring me down.

I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity.
Kiss me goodbye,
I'm defying gravity.
I think I'll try,
Defying Gravity.
And you won't bring me down.
Bring me down!”

Oh the last note, Blaine felt a tear roll down his cheek. He was utterly speechless. He had never heard anyone sing that as good as Kurt had, and he was currently thinking that he was better than Idina Menzel, and that was saying something. Then, Blaine realized something. Kurt had hit the high F. No-one he knew could hit that without hours of practice, and not in perfect tune like Kurt had. Every note that had come out of that boy’s mouth was perfect; everything about that boy was perfect.
‘You can’t think like that Blaine, quit it!’ He reprimanded himself.
Blaine realised that he’d been stood like that, frozen to the spot, in silence, for over a minute, with his jaw halfway to the floor.
“K-Kurt, that was. That was amazing.” He finally stuttered. “I-I really don’t know what to say. I’ve never heard someone sing that as well as you did.”
Blaine didn’t think Kurt could get any more adorable, but then he saw him blush.
“Erm, thanks. “ Kurt said uncertainly.
Blaine checked his watch, and saw that they were halfway through their lesson. Blaine composed himself, and carried on.
“So today’s session was mainly about me getting to know you and your voice, and you getting to know me and mine, so I can help you, and you can help me, seeing as though you’re my first student here.” Blaine laughed on impulse. “So is it okay if I sing something? So you can, you know, get to know my voice and stuff?”
“You’re the teacher; you can do what you like.”
‘Except you.’ Blaine thought.
Blaine ignored his brain’s last comment, and carried on relentless.
“Okay. I play piano as well, so I’m going to do that if that’s okay?” Blaine paused for a second whilst he walked round and sat behind the piano, then answered his own question. “Of course it’s okay, as you said I’m the teacher.”
Kurt giggled (adorably in Blaine’s mind) and sat down on the stool in the corner of the room.
“So I’ll just er… yeah.”

“Guess we knew this was coming on
‘Cause you’re already gone in my head
You can tell me that I’m wrong
That you’re staying with me instead

When winter has come along and summer’s dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around the emptiness I found
Find a way to make you stay

But I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you leave me now
I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
I’m just standing still

Never thought I’d be so strong
But pieces of me break so easy
What I thought would be the end
Is just the feeling that you freed me

Boy this ain’t giving up, it’s knowing where to stop
Knowing everything is over
I know my love is blind, I see for the first time
This ain’t gonna bring us closer

'Cause I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you leave me now, yeah
I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you’re walking out

I’m standing still…
I’m just standing still as you leave me now
I’m just standing still

When winter's come along and summer's dead and gone
Is there anything left here to say?
I can put my arms around the emptiness I found
Find a way to make you stay

I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you leave me now, yeah
I’m standing still, I’m standing still
As you’re walking out
I’m just standing still

I'm just standing still
Yeah, I'm just standing still
Just standing still.”

Kurt was in love with Blaine’s voice. Blaine was so passionate about what he was singing, you could tell in his facial expressions and tone. He was about to say this, when he heard clapping from the doorway.
“Blaine. You’re amazing but you were a bit pitchy on towards the end.” The man said.
“Who is this guy?!” Kurt asked himself.
“Sebastian! What are you doing here?” Blaine exclaimed, standing up from the piano, and walking towards him.
“I said I’d visit you on your first day! Who’s this?” he asked, looking at Kurt. “I thought you said you had a Kurt Hummel first. I didn’t expect Kurt to be a girl. Oh wait, sorry, you are a boy, I couldn’t see because of the girl clothes you seem to have accidentally put on this morning!”
Kurt didn’t know who the hell he was, but he wanted to punch this guy so much.
“Sebastian! You can’t say that to one of my students! Get out. I’ll finish up in here, then I’ll talk to you about visiting me in work, and what you can say and can’t. AGAIN!”
Sebastian smirked and walked out the door. Blaine looked furious.
“Sorry Kurt, my boyfriend doesn’t seem to have a brain to mouth filter today. Well, ever.”
“It’s fine,” Kurt replied “I got much worse in high school.”
Then something in Kurt clicked. Wait. Boyfriend?!
