The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful
Stop me and steal my breath.
Sugar squealed loudly as she realized what song it was Blaine was singing. Blaine continued to sing and the words were just pouring out of his mouth naturally and he felt relaxed as he sang it. He closed his eyes and remembered after his first kiss with Kurt, they didn't practice their song that day and instead headed to Blaine's dorm.
They walked through the hallway of Dalton through all the students, pretending to act natural when Wes and Dave walked pass Kurt and Blaine and they knew Kurt and Blaine were up to something.
"Are you two heading to practice? Because you're going the wrong way." Wes asked curiously.
"Yeah we know. Blaine's just letting me listen to the song and then we are going to practice it. We're getting good at it." Kurt smiled innocently. Blaine nodded in agreement.
"Yes we are. So, if you guy's would excuse us." Blaine said as he and Kurt walked away from a smirking Wes and Dave.
"See you guy's later. Have fun practicing." Dave said after them with a chuckle. When Kurt and Blaine disappeared around the corner Kurt took Blaine's hand and started to run up the staircase to Blaine's room. They were both laughing as they ran up the stairs and Blaine ended up tripping and pulled Kurt down with him. Thank god no one was around because that was embarrassing for a second until they started a fit of laughter.
"Sorry." Blaine said through his laughs. "Are you okay?" Kurt nodded his head trying to stop laughing.
"I'm fine. More than fine."
"Oh yes I know. You're really hot. Like seriously, the heat in this place is so warm." Kurt playfully hit Blaine in the arm before getting up and lending a hand to Blaine and pulled him up. As they were standing in front of each other Kurt couldn't help but kiss Blaine before getting to Blaine's room. Blaine happily kissed Kurt back. Their lips danced around each other's and Kurt brought his hands around Blaine's shoulder and pulling him in more. Blaine let his hands rest on Kurt's waist.
"In a way…this is like a romance movie because I have finally found you." Blaine looked to Kurt's eyes, their lips still touching. Blaine was being serious until Kurt let a laugh escape his lips.
"Dork!" Kurt laughed as Blaine just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"I am okay with that as long as I am your dork." Kurt didn't say anything, he just gave another peck to Blaine's lips and took his hand and started to go up the rest of the stairs.
And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.
I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said
"Blaine, honey, calm down, they're not worth it, and you know that." Kurt said in a clam voice as he had his arms wrapped around Blaine's waist and pulled him back from going after three of the guys on the hockey team who disappeared up the empty hallway of McKinley. "It's okay. We are okay."
The hockey team had pushed Kurt into the lockers full blast when Blaine and Kurt were walking up the hallway. Kurt had pushed himself of the lockers when he saw Blaine was about to push one of the guy's in the hockey team. Kurt had pulled him back quickly and stopped him from doing anything.
They sat down against the lockers. Blaine kneeled in front of Kurt and knew he had gotten hurt. Kurt tried to hide it though. Blaine put his hand gently on the bottom of Kurt's shirt about to pull it up when Kurt's hand stopped him.
"Blaine, please, don't." Kurt whispered, his head leaned against the lockers as he opened his eyes to see Blaine's worried ones. Blaine didn't listen and slowly lifted up Kurt's shirt to see his side and Kurt didn't protest anymore. Kurt just closed his eyes. Blaine lifted the shirt up enough to see the black and purple bruises. Blaine did his best not to gasp and put his hand gently on Kurt's bruised side. Kurt hissed a little at the touch.
"This is my fault. I came to McKinley to protect you as well and-and am so s-sorry." Kurt quickly opened his eyes and despite the little pain he sat up and moved closer to Blaine who had his head down. Kurt put his fingers under Blaine's chin and lifted up the sad boy's head to face him. Blaine already had tears falling down his face.
"Don't you ever say that Blaine. Never. It's not your fault what they do to me and they can do it as much as they want, but they will never change who I am or me loving you. Screw them."
"But your hurt, Kurt. This is why you came to Dalton, to get a-away from this all. They should get back what they do to you. I don't care what happens to me as long as you are okay. You don't…you don't understand how important you are to me." Blaine wiped away the tears on his face. Looking at his boyfriend this upset and feeling the pain in his side, it was hard for Kurt not to cry.
"I do, I do because your so important to me to which is why I am not letting you get hurt by them. I need my boyfriend to be here with me. One day this will be all gone and we won't have to deal with that shit anymore. We will be happier than we are now and the only place they will be is in darkness full of regret of what they did. People like them, the real world doesn't want them and Blaine," Kurt put his hand's either side of the sides of Blaine's neck and tried to forget the pain that was shooting through him, "All of this will be a distance memory one day, with all the great one's we have had and are going to have, with them covering up the bad ones, I promise, angel." Blaine nodded his head slowly and squeezed his eyes shut as he let out a shaky breath.
"Yeah, screw them." Blaine's shaky voice said.
"That's my boy." Kurt smiled as Blaine opened his eyes again. He looked from Kurt, down to Kurt's side and pulled the rest of Kurt's shirt back over his side and kissed Kurt's cheek and leaned his forehead against Kurt's as their breathing evened out again.
"If they ever go to really hurt you, then I promise I can't say I wouldn't hurt them." Blaine whispered and Kurt knew he couldn't change his mind there.
"I know, but they never will, because I have you to protect me." Both boys sat on the floor with their arms around each other, forehead's touching and feeling safe with other. Nothing would break them.
They had gone and told Principal Figgins about it, even though they knew nothing more might not be made of it.
Two weeks later and any student that pushed another student into the locker more than once and had a witness, that student would get suspend and if it happened again they would get expelled. It was that one step closer to stopping the abuse in this school. The slushies' and being emotional bullied hadn't been stopped though. Maybe one day.
Blaine started to play his guitar again as he got into the last chorus.
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your...
I'll be your crying shoulder,
I'll be love's suicide
I'll be better when I'm older,
I'll be the greatest fan of your life.
"Blaine, go away, am trying to practice and you're really distracting." Kurt moaned as he stood on the stage of the auditorium with his hands on his hips looking down to Blaine who sat in the front row of chairs.
"Talking about distracting, you do realise how tight those skinny jeans are on you." Blaine smirked as he watched Kurt blush a little trying to hide the blush on his cheeks.
"Well, that's the plan, Anderson. But seriously, I can't practice when you're starting at me and I have to perform this song tomorrow in Glee."
"Is the song called, sexy and I know it?"
"Oh god, Blaine. Just let me practice, please?" Kurt begged as Blaine nodded his head and got up from his chair. He jumped up onto the stage and walked over to Kurt putting his hands on Kurt's waist and collided his lips with Kurt's. Kurt kissed him back for a few seconds before pulling away.
"I thought you were leaving me to practice?" Kurt raised an eyebrow at Blaine.
"Well you can't practice on your own." Kurt looked at him confused "Practicing to us is making out, silly."
"You're terrible. You know I need to practice."
"You're a star already Kurt." Kurt looked at Blaine in awe.
"You are absolutely the perfect boyfriend. You think you can ever stop being so perfect?" Blaine thought about that for a second.
"Can you ever stop being a beautiful, amazing boyfriend?" Kurt shook his head with a laugh.
"Then my answers a no. We could practice it though."
"Which means making out?"
"Pretty much."
"Yeah I'll give it a go then." They both laughed as their lips meet again and danced against each other.
The greatest fan of your life.
...greatest fan of your life.
Yeah, Blaine was pretty sure their love could get through anything, as long as they still wanted to.
He looked to his friends clapping and cheering in front of him. Kurt wasn't there, but that was okay, Kurt was in his heart. Kurt was already living the dream for both of them until Blaine got there. The last time he saw Kurt in person came into his head and he smiled.
"New York's going to love you, just like I do." Blaine said as Kurt turned from the door to look at Blaine. Between them was only a few steps to each other and it took everything in Kurt not to go back to Blaine. Kurt gave him a happy smile this time as Blaine returned it. One last look and then Kurt went through the doors. Blaine saw as he disappeared. He's finally gone to live his dream.
Kurt lay on his bed, his face flat down into the pillow. It was such a long day at work. Thank god it was Friday. Rachel was making them dinner and Kurt decided to take a little nap before dinner. He felt himself about to drift of when his phone beside him buzzed. A new text message. He moaned as he took the phone in his hand. He looked at the screen that said it was a new text message from Sam. Kurt opened up the text and there was a video to.
Hey Kurt, hope you're having a great time in New York. I will call you soon. I thought you might like to see this. He misses you. :)
Kurt opened up the video and pressed play as he sat up in his bed a little. He smiled when he saw Blaine standing in front of everyone in the choir room. Sam must have been hiding his phone so Blaine couldn't see him recording him. Blaine picked up his guitar and put the strap around his shoulder.
"So, we all had to say goodbye to some very special people and they are now on their way to living their dream. And I know we all miss them a lot and wish they were here. And I know these lyrics describe what a lot of us feel. This song is especially for Kurt. No matter how much I miss him I know we will be okay. I know he's going to do great in his life." Blaine turned and nodded at Brad to start playing the piano.
Kurt didn't know was it happy tears from seeing his boyfriend or sad tears because he missed him so much that fell slowly from his eyes.
Blaine started singing alone with the piano notes and it sounded so beautiful. When it got to the chorus Blaine strummed the guitar. As the song went on Kurt couldn't help but keep smiling at his boyfriend. How could someone's voice sound so beautiful?
"The greatest fan of your life." Was the last line Blaine sang and now it was just the last few notes on the piano. As the last note rang out, Blaine smiled, and cheering and clapping started to fill the room.
"That's what am talking about." He heard Artie's say.
"I didn't know Kurt was famous yet." Brittany asked and of course Kurt knew she was confused. The last thing Kurt saw before the video ended was Blaine's happy face and he looked like he was lost in thought.
Kurt put down his phone and wiped the tears away from his cheeks. He sat for a few minutes smiling at what he just saw before getting up from his bed, grabbed his phone and opened his door.
"Hey Rachel. I have something to show you."
