The amount of times I’ve listened to the Glee cover of “Somewhere Only We Know,” which for those that don’t know is the Warblers (pst… Blaine :”) singing to Kurt when he goes back to McKinley and I get emotional because I ship them so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ranking potential 100th episode redo songs based on how much sense they would have made
Tumblr media
Thanks to The Wrap we still have the list of 30 songs fans could vote on for the cast to redo in the 100th Glee episode. Now I don’t think this was the way to go and fans should have only voted on, like, 3 songs, but ~9 years later here I am to fully criticize it.
Needed to happen
1. Don’t Stop Believin’
Let’s just get it out of the way. Obviously. Obviously this was the right choice and they did it well in the episode.
2. Landslide
Are you KIDDING ME that this was an option and fans didn’t choose it imma travel back to late 2013 and THROW HANDS. Jail, jail for all who voted. Jail for a thousand years, I can’t even look at you. You choose Valerie, a song that was already perfectly fine as a Santana solo and had no emotional significance in-universe, over a potential Holly-less revisit of Landslide? I hate you all. Anyway my thoughts on what should have happened are well-advertised.
3. Born This Way
Imo this should have been the group number of the first half. But crucially, with the newbies getting big roles since that’s the point of a redo. Sadly the newbies got paid dust in the two-parter so I doubt they would have gotten to sing on this but after DSB it’s the closest we get to a fitting anthem for the group and so it’s my choice for top 3.
Yeah I can see it
4. My Life Would Suck Without You
After Born This Way we just get a bunch of other potential group numbers but crucially I would have only wanted any two out of these, tops. This song comes in fourth because of how fun the original is and how I wish we got a choreo retrospective later on as well. The OG summed up the first 13 so well and a similar look through the eras could have been fun. And this time around it wouldn’t be a quasi Rachel solo. I would have loved to hear Marley on this.
5. Loser Like Me
I find the original one really rather cringe what with Finn singing half of the underdog anthem, and most of you know I have complex feelings on the underdog themes anyway. The only reason this is so high is because I like what they ended up doing with it in 5x13. In fact I much prefer that acoustic version and again I wish the newbies could have been involved but it’s a sweet moment for the senior quartet.
6. We Are Young
I’m biased because this is one of my very fave ND numbers but I think it could have been an appropriate one to revisit. I’m not sure how different a new take could have been but obviously we need different solo distributions and bonus points if we have a mirror held up to the Pezberry moment from the original. The club is all happy and coming together and Rachel almost reaches for Santana’s hand like she did last time but then remembers they’re still feuding. Yes yes delicious.
7. Somebody to Love
Arguably one of the most important group numbers and something that could have been ripe for revisiting. Just because of the tone of the song it’s not the best group number choice but it could even be a tribute to Finn. Maybe a bit redundant to have both this and DSB.
8. Keep Holding On
I’m fine with reprising this in theory and even prefer Puck’s version on most days. I also like how both version are tied to Quinn. But I just have this bias against the original for Finchel and general s1 frustrations reasons and don’t think what they did with it in 100 was all that original. It was okay and I’m glad it made it over other songs but eh. Could have done without it.
9. Lean On Me
Similar situation to Keep Holding On and I might only be ranking it lower because this one didn’t make it. But I can see it happening though in context we’d need to tweak things to make it work.
10. Somewhere Only We Know
Hesitating about that because I really don’t think they should have redone Warbler songs for a variety of reasons. This one feels so personal to Blaine and Kurt that it would almost feel inappropriate to redo and give the new context of the whole club but at least as a song it would fit. A real teary eyed rendition. Again, my preference is as a group number.
11. Get It Right
It’s on thin ice but depending on execution I could see it. Definitely should not be a solo but tied to different storylines, preferably somehow to the Pezberry feud and Quinn’s existential crisis.
Maybe
12. Like a Prayer
These are all biiig maybes because again you only need so many group numbers and very few should have been duets or solos. But can’t lie, Like a Prayer is probably the song I wish Santana had been featured on so I’d be willing to ignore story context to hear her on it. Also has all the group number perks of songs mentioned above.
13. Defying Gravity
Eh, not a huge fan of this having been featured except for Mercedes also getting to sing it. But I don’t see a reason why we needed another two solo version from Kurt and Rachel and the Jonesberry conflict they squeeze in to justify this is not only forced but leads to one of my least fav scenes. It’s okay, they sound good, I get the significance. It’s an eh.
14. Dog Days Are Over
This is our first one where I really am just like, why mess with perfection? It was perfectly good as a Mertina duet and if we don’t have them repeat it that’s rude, and if yes I’m not sure what the new twist could be. Not saying it had no potential but I think it’s one of those cases where the OG is good enough.
15. Toxic
Apart from being the greatest song in existence there was no reason to redo it. The OG had no huge story or emotional significance. BUT, the execution of the revisit was much better than anything I could have anticipated. It’s here in the middle because truth to be told, as much as I am a hardcore Toxic fan I would not have voted for it. Am I glad Toxic s5 exists? Omg, hell yeah. But I think if we take horny reasons out of the equation there’s not much left there. The UHT are iconic but how about we give them some friendship scenes instead. Can’t believe I’m coming across as a Toxic s5 anti lmaooo to be clear I am very, very happy we have this performance. I just have to also think outside the horny box.
16. Bad Romance
So again, why mess with perfection. I don’t see a need to redo it, not with a different context and definitely not with different singers. If we want to revisit a Lady Gaga song, do Born This Way.
17. Bust Your Windows
Why mess with perfection coupled with a plain...why? It’s only a maybe because it is a better option than the songs in the last category but honestly, barely. I don’t see a context where I would have needed a rehash of this.
18. Valerie
Sigh, okay, so do I mind that we have a Brittana duet version of Valerie? Of course not. And I think the context the writers came up with is actually really good and sweet and the Brittana fan in me loves that. But we didn’t need another Valerie. Heather keeps up with Naya on it and the dancing with Jake and Mike is fun. But we simply did not need Valerie again. I’d like to highlight the why mess with perfection point again, as well as pointing out how Valerie had no in-universe significance. In the fandom, it’s Santana’s signature solo but it’s just not backed up in universe with that significance. Again, they made a cute Brittana moment out of it but I’ll die on the hill that this duet should have been landslide. Or rather, I’ll die on the snow covered hills amiright.
19. Forget You
Wow this is really, really thin ice now. It might slip on a banana peel right down to the bottom category. I don’t know what the concept would have been but we don’t need Miss Goop to do it again so I can only think of a big (actual) group number and again, the newbies featured. It just didn’t have the weight of the other group numbers though. A big, big big maaaybe. I guess if we have to have Goop sing.
Who would want this
20. Dream On
Who thought this should be revisited? And I like this GCV but I don’t think to myself, man I wish the Glee Club did Dream On. Several people would have sounded great on it but that’s not enough to hit my criteria.
21. Gives You Hell
What a baffling choice. Particularly in season 5 where Finn’s passing casts a shadow on everything. Once again, maaaybe for the newbies but why would they care for this song.
Actually, it’s mostly the same for the remaining songs. We didn’t need revisits, they weren’t that iconic and held little overall significance:
22. Safety Dance
23. Sweet Caroline
24. Raise Your Glass (I can’t believe this one made it as the group number of 100 omg that’s so mad, why would ND care about a random Warblers song)
25. Take a Bow (WHO wanted this)
26. Hey, Soul Sister
27. Telephone (why?)
28. Total Eclipse of the Heart (I’m glad it was cut)
29. Imagine (no no, no thank you)
30. Roar (are you KIDDING why would they revisit something they performed 5 minutes ago)

Hellooooo meggie moo 🤩 can you rank all of the warblers songs for me pretty please
Omg of course <3 the problem is, is that I’ll have to rank them while also having the memory of a squirrel so 🧌
1. Glad You Came
This song has a chokehold on me
2. I Want You Back
Amazing, incredible, the Kurtbastian of it all 🕺
3. Blackbird
THE PROBLEM IS I LOVE THIS GCV BUT NOW ITS ASSOCIATED WITH PAVAROTTI PROTOCOL, I think that’s very unfair
4. Bad
I’m not sure if this one counts, but Wikipedia says it does 🕺 anyways, it slays <3
5. Somewhere Only We Know
I think it’s a tad bit overplayed on tiktok 😭 but I think at its core it’s a good song <3
6. Live While We’re Young
It just slays 🕺
7. Uptown Girl
NICK MY BELOVED, he should have gotten more songs 😔
8. Animal
This one gave us canniblaine apparently 🧌
9. When I Get You Alone 🦧
DO I HATE THE CONTEXT? yes. But do I think it kinda slaps? Also yes 💔
10. Do You Think I’m Sexy
It just kinda hits hard 💔
11. Tightrope
this song is such a banger, the warblers are just mean
12. Misery
This one is pretty good, but kinda bland <3 also less points for Blaine throwing Nick and Kurt’s homework in the air
13. Raise Your Glass
this one is also very fun :) BUT if I had to listen to the gcv or the original, I’m always choosing Lady Gaga <3
14. Whistle
Do I like the lyrics? No. BUT the performance was so good like wtf 🤨
15. Stand
It’s not a bad song, it’s just Sebastian had so many bangers compared to it 😫
16. Silly Little Love Songs
It’s cute, but that’s really it 😭
17. Bills, Bills, Bills.
Idk everyone on tiktok went through a phase saying this one was better than BEYONCÉS? 🤨 I don’t think it’s bad by any means, I just think it’s quite boring 😭
18. Hey Soul Sister
She exists, she’s not bad. But she is on the floor playlist
19. Sing
Idk what to say about this one 😭
20. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)
Alive and the Chipmunks did it better
21. My Dark Side
Again it’s just boring 😭😭
22. Candles
NOW, candles doesn’t get last play, because although it’s objectively bad, I do think it’s funny
23. What Kind of Fool
Tbh I don’t remember this one
24. My Sharona
I’ve heard the “my corona” version of this one far too much by adults, it has ruined the song 🧌
25. Teenage Dream
I just think it’s so boring I’m sorry 😭😭 this isn’t even like a blaine hating thing, I don’t think this song is bad, but I was told it was like the best gcv in existence when I first watched glee. So it let me down (Rick Astley would never) 🧌
it’s whole thing is that it’s a boy singing a, “girls song” like glee hasn’t done that since season one? 🤨 are we forgetting the Madonna episode, and the whole defying gravity plotline? 😭😭 ANYWAYS, it’s existence confuses me. But the acoustic one is funny. Sorry for rambling </3

This is my contribution to this week's @gleeful-paintbox-project prompt, Bad Reputation. One of the examples given for ways to work with the prompt was about a character changing their image, and I took it a step further. This one-shot includes Kurt changing his self-image and expressing it to Blaine.
This is the eighth chapter of Glee According to Kurt Hummel. You can read it below the cut or on AO3 or FF.net.
Enjoy!
“Somewhere only we know…”
They were both almost in tears, and Kurt could only look at his boyfriend like that for a few moments before he took a few steps forward, pulling him into a tight hug. “I’m never saying goodbye to you,” he said softly, holding him tightly for another moment before letting him go. God, this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Blaine looked at him longingly for half a second after they pulled away, and Kurt could see the tears forming again as he swiftly turned and walked back to the group of Dalton boys standing on the stairs behind them. They were quick to comfort him, giving him a pat on the back and murmuring words of encouragement to him.
Kurt couldn’t take his eyes off Blaine’s back, even as he himself was surrounded by his friends. He glanced down at his toes for only a moment as a chorus of “Hello,” and “Hi,” could be heard from some of the girls. Yet, Kurt wasn’t really listening, not even as someone plopped a top hat on his head. Which is, admittedly, fabulous, he thought to himself. He glanced back up, catching Blaine’s eyes where his boyfriend had stopped on the steps and was watching him despite his fellow Warblers headed back toward the bus.
As the bell rang, his friends tried to push in closer, yet Kurt wasn’t satisfied. Blaine looks so sad, and I feel like I’m going to cry. I need a minute. We need a minute alone. “Hang on,” he told everyone, pushing through the group and catching back up to Blaine moments before he made it to the top step. “May I walk you to the bus?” he asked with a nervous chuckle.
“Yeah. I’d like that,” Blaine answered softly.
Kurt recognized the tears and emotion hiding behind his voice, and he reached out and rubbed a tentative finger up and down the side of Blaine’s hand a few times in comfort. “You know, when I was texting Mercedes last night to tell her I was coming back, she told me that they’re doing a Lady Gaga song in Glee today.”
“’Bad Romance’ again?” Blaine guessed.
“No. ‘Born This Way.’ Apparently, Rachel’s been considering getting a nose job, and they all want to talk her out of it.”
“What?” Blaine asked, laughing a little.
Kurt thought he sounded a bit more like himself. I’m glad I decided to walk with him. We both needed a second to just be us again with no audience. “Yeah. I don’t know. Apparently, some crazy things have gone on since I was gone.” He shrugged. “Who knew? Anyway, that’s not what I wanted to tell you.”
Blaine stopped walking and turned to look at Kurt. “I’m listening,” he told him quietly.
“She asked me if I wanted to participate so she could make me a shirt. Apparently, part of Mr. Schue’s lesson is about accepting the parts of you that you don’t love, and they’re wearing shirts with the thing they have a hard time accepting about themselves printed on the front.”
“So, what did you tell her? Are you going to sing? I know how much you love Lady Gaga.”
Kurt blushed. “Of course, I am. Can you guess what I had her put on my shirt?”
Blaine shook his head. “I can’t imagine. Every part of you is perfect.”
Feeling his cheeks color a darker shade of pink, Kurt shook his head. “You’re sweet. I had to put something, though. So, I had her put ‘Likes boys.’” He heard Blaine suck in a gasp of air and whisper, “Kurt…” To silence him so he could finish, Kurt held out his hand. “I know. I know. With Karofsky coming back, too, it could be dangerous. Still, I feel brave. I have courage.” He made sure to look Blaine directly in the eyes as he said the next part, reaching out one hand to lay it over Blaine’s heart. “Because of you.”
This time, it was Blaine’s turn to blush. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“Before I went to Dalton, before I met you and shared that perfect first kiss with you, I didn’t like that part of myself. I felt different, too different, like I would never have a place to belong or someone to love.” He chuckled dryly. “In fact, not too long before we met, I told my dad I just wanted someone’s hand to hold at prom or walk down the hallways with, and I was afraid I’d never find someone. And then you found me, and I realized that I didn’t dislike that part of myself. I loved it because it was the part of me that helped me find the best thing that ever happened to me, Blaine. You.”
There were tears in both their eyes again as they stood for a moment under the warm sun rays, just looking at each other.
Seeing a tear slide down Blaine’s cheek, Kurt reached up to swipe it away with his thumb, cupping Blaine’s cheek for just a moment, feeling him press against his hand. “Thank you for being my courage. I know we’re both unhappy about not being together all the time anymore. We’re going to text each other all day, every day, though, and we’ll see each other every weekend and go on dates. I’m not going to lose you, Blaine Anderson.”
“I’m not going to lose you either.”
“Coming, Anderson?” someone called from the bus.
Blaine hung his head in defeat. “I guess that means I have to go.”
Kurt nodded, pulling Blaine into another tight embrace. “Text me later?” he asked.
“Always. You’re going to kill that song. I just know it. Break a leg.”
Kurt gave him a small half-smile. Watching his boyfriend climb onto the Dalton Academy bus was one of the hardest things he’d ever done. What would I do without Blaine Anderson in my life? he pondered as he watched the shadow of Blaine’s form walk down the aisle and take a seat by the window. Then, his face appeared, and he waved at Kurt until the bus was out of sight. I’m so glad I found him. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I know it’s going to be something wonderful. Courage, Kurt. You can do this. So, Kurt turned on his heel, straightened his shoulders, and held his head high. He was headed back inside to change into his t-shirt for the Glee performance later before heading to class. He thought first, though, that he’d stop by the stage. He felt like he needed to sing before he would be brave enough to proudly proclaim that he “Likes boys.” Courage, Kurt. Courage.

Hi I've just read your brilliant meta on Tested and I'd really like to read more of your thoughts and you said it was okay to ask so could you talk about Blaine's depression (esp in the early seasons) and this bit "he struggles with who he used to be to kurt, and who he is now. i’m not going to dive deep into his actions throughout (let me know if you want that tho, i totally can!)" - please do! And please make it as long as you like. Thank you :)
hi! of course! thank you for being so sweet :)
so, i think the point where it became very apparent to me that something wasn't quite right for blaine was during somewhere only we know. that performance is so layered and complex. on the surface, it's the warblers' send off for kurt, but underneath, it's blaine's realization that things are about to change (for good), and his overwhelming fear about that. kurt is going back to his friends, to his school - kurt doesn't need him, not in the same way, anymore. kurt coming into his life allowed blaine to access a darker, more vulnerable part of himself, made him feel okay in showing that side, and now blaine is kind of left at a loss because he doesn't know how to stuff that back in. he isn't the person he was before he met kurt.
but i would say s3 was the season that solidified blaine struggling with depression for me, particularly the shit going on with finn, the slushy attack, and cough syrup. if you watch the scene in 3x08, when finn goes to apologize to blaine, he says he was jealous. and blaine kinda...scoffs? as if he isn't sure what finn could possibly be jealous of. there's a very interesting duality with his character (and parallel with rachel, i would also argue), where he's being complimented and praised and told he's talented, but i don't think he really believes it. i feel like his self-esteem is pretty low, and we get confirmation of that in 3x15.
getting ahead of myself, i also wanted to touch on 3x11. the slushy incident. when he was hurt by his haven, his safe place, the place he ran to after being gay bashed. sebastian aside, the rest of those guys were his friends. his family, even. they were supposed to care about him. and what do they do? they leave. he's crying and screaming in pain and they leave him. what kind of message does that send about how blaine now is supposed to perceive the people in his life who say they care about him? i've seen people say that 3x11 marks the start of a depressive episode for blaine, and i can agree with that. the rest of the season is....quite downhill, for him, to say the least.
this is where he starts to descend into that sadness and emptiness that, imho, doesn't leave him until mid-s4.
let's talk about cough syrup real quick. i think what's important to note with that song is that blaine chooses it because he finds it inspiring, and he does the entire performance as a performance, for kurt. he isn't fixing to perform it in the choir room. he isn't just practicing, for kurt. i think it's pretty well-established that blaine speaks with music ("don't sing it, say it", from 6x07), and i always saw cough syrup as his way of crying out for help, for kurt to see that something wasn't right. the song is about waiting for things to get better, for the cough syrup to come down, so it's clear that blaine is in a bad enough place that he feels like that's what he's doing. i don't think he even understood, at the time, what he was struggling with. he just knew he felt bad and wanted it to be better.
this fandom adores cooper anderson (rightly, he was hilarious! matt bomer did a great job), but i think people kind of glaze over how badly blaine was hurting that episode? first off, it comes right after 3x14, which is a whole mess, (and blaine is still definitely reeling from it), and on top of that, cooper is both self-centered and incredibly critical of blaine. after hungry like the wolf/rio, all cooper can do is criticize blaine and compliment himself.
at the restaurant, blaine says, "you waste no opportunity to remind me how much i suck at everything". not tell. remind. as in, blaine already knows this and feels this way about himself, and all cooper does is reinforce that.
somebody that i used to know is also complicated, because on one hand, blaine struggles when cooper is around, being nitpicked and criticized, but he also struggles with cooper's absence. my theory is that cooper left home at 18, and blaine was left feeling abandoned. that entire performance, blaine is so angry and so hurt, and cooper looks so concerned, as if he's finally picking up on something being wrong with his brother that he's been blind to for years.
and then we have 3x17, where blaine withdraws from kurt because he's trying to protect himself, to arm himself, so he'll be ready when kurt leaves. for blaine, people keep choosing to walk out of his life, and he doesn't trust that he is enough/worthy of them to stay. the issue is with himself. it's him believing kurt will find someone better in new york, him believing he wasn't good enough for cooper to remain in his life, him believing his sexuality caused the rift between him and his father. him struggling with how the people who were supposed to love him and be his friends could hurt him so badly with no remorse.
i feel like s4 is pretty explicit in blaine showing symptoms of depression: withdrawing, losing interest in things he used to love, feeling overwhelmingly negative about himself, but i can talk more about that too if you want!
to address the other thing you've mentioned: in tested, blaine is very much reeling from kurt being bashed, and now kurt is exercising a ton and eating extremely healthily (also arming himself for a future attack). what this says to blaine is that kurt won't need him next time, he'll be able to protect himself. their friendship started with kurt struggling and blaine stepping into this mentor/protector role, and now kurt is showing him that he doesn't need that. so what does blaine do? he tries to show kurt that it's okay to let go (which, i will argue, is not wholly a bad thing - kurt was getting to a level of obsession that also reads unhealthy to me), imho, so he could have a way to slip into that role. i think it's partly that, and partly blaine wanting kurt to eat the way he is, so he'll feel less insecure/bad about himself.
the way blaine sees it, kurt becoming as strong as he is means that he won't need him anymore. he won't have any use for him. blaine's self esteem is so low that he values himself for the use he can be, how much people need him, because he doesn't trust that he's in someone's life because they want him to be there. he doesn't think that highly of himself. he used to be someone who could protect kurt, and he gained a sense of security from that. but now that kurt is strong enough to protect himself, blaine once again feels like kurt is going to stop needing him (aka stop loving him).
i am going to stop there because i have gone on for far too long but i hope this helped!!

Klaine moments that get me every time. (No particular order)
1- Blaines face at the very end of Somewhere Only We Know when he watches Kurt reunite with the glee club and he knows he has to leave.
Tumblr media
2- Kurt crying while watching Blaine sing All or Nothing. They weren’t even officially back together yet. (Key word officially). This is so cute.
Tumblr media
2- Blaine pushing Kurt out of the way and getting slushed by The Warblers.
Tumblr media
3- Kurt already having a song prepared after Blaine and him got back together because he knew either way they would in fact get back together.
Tumblr media
4- Blaines face when he thought Kurt actually forgot what their first duet was.
Tumblr media
5- This WHOLE SCENE! The flirtation and love of it all. 💛🥲
Tumblr media
6- This one too- obviously. “I was so proud to be with you.” “I hope so. I want you to be”

myle <3 do you have any glee headcanons for halsey songs?
Why yes I do, thank you for asking!!!
I tired to be fair and give all of the characters their time to shine.
my answer is already very long, so I didn't do her last album, if anyone has any headcanons, I'd love to hear them!!
So I made a playlist with all of the songs I mentioned.
Is there somewhere: kurtbastian, a duet, the lyrics are very them, especially this verse.
I'm sorry, but I fell in love tonight. /I didn't mean to fall in love tonight.
You're looking like you fell in love tonight. / Could we pretend that we're in love?
empty gold: brittana maybe in S2?
Feel like we've been falling down / Like these autumn leaves
But baby, don't let winter come / Don't let our hearts freeze
hurricane: I feel like Quinn would sing this, she would relate to the chorus especially.
I'm a wanderess, I'm a one night stand / Don't belong to no city, don't belong to no man
I'm the violence in the pouring rain / I'm a hurricane
colors: I feel like it's a Tina song, during props when she stands up for herself and Mike is being a jerk? also c'mon that bit is iconic.
You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue
But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
And you decided purple just wasn't for you
hold me down: a S5 girls number, lead by Marley and Unique, I feel like the anger is very fitting.
drive: a S2 girls number, lead by Santana, it's the vibes.
All we do is think about the feelings that we hide
All we do is sit in silence waiting for a sign
Sick and full of pride / All we do is drive
roman holiday: faberry, there's longing and conflict. (the lyrics)
Oh, we'll be looking for sunlight, or the headlights / 'Til our wide eyes burn blind
We'll be lacing the same shoes that we've worn through / To the bottom of the line
And we know that we're headstrong / And our heart's gone
And the timing's never right / but for now let's get away / On a Roman holiday
strange love and haunting: warning there will be a lot of kurtbastian, but tell me it's not them and this
They think I'm insane, they think my lover is strange /But I don't have to fucking tell them anything, anything
And I'm gonna write it all down, and I'm gonna sing it on stage / But I don't have to fucking tell you anything
-
I was as pure as a river /But now I think I'm possessed
You put a fever inside me / And I've been cold since you left
I've got a boyfriend now and he's made of gold / And you've got your own mistakes in a bed at home
I'm hoping you could save me now, but you break and fold / You've got a fire inside, but your heart's so cold
gasoline: new directions, the theme about being 'weird', Artie and Santana with the lead.
I walk the line: jarley, a duet, acoustic though.
I find it very, very easy to be true / I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you / Because you're mine, I walk the line
I'm not mad: Rachel, she's annoyed at her ex boyfriends so they make her go though a swag punk phase that lasts two episodes.
clementine: Santina duet, S4, both of them are longing in a melancholic way. (the lyrics are so beautiful)
graveyard, klaine duet after their breakup for good, one last angsty duet for old times sake.
bad at love, one tree hill, each one of them can get a verse.
forever... (is a long time), Santana to Brittany in S6.
I spent a long time watering a plant made out of plastic / And I cursed the ground for growing green
I spent a long time substituting honest with sarcastic / And I cursed my tongue for being mean
I HATE EVERYBODY, Sebastian and the Warblers, read the lyrics and you'll get what I mean.
So I'll just hate everybody / Well, then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really, I could fall in love with anybody who don't want me / So I just keep sayin' I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
3am, another angsty song, I'll give this one to Blaine.
My self-preservation and all of my reservations
Are sittin' and contemplating what to do with me, do with me
Think I took it way too far / And I'm stumblin' drunk, getting in a car
My insecurities are hurtin' me / Someone please come and flirt with me
I really need a mirror that'll come along and tell me that I'm fine
Strangers, I've said before, but pezberry, no question.
without me: a Marley and Quinn duet, New York State of Mind type.
sorry, Kurt solo to Adam, it's a heartbreaking ballad.
So I'm sorry to my unknown lover / Sorry that I can't believe
That anybody ever really /Starts to fall in love with me
Sorry to my unknown lover / Sorry I could be so blind
Didn't mean to leave you / And all of the things that we had behind
Be Kind, group number, it's very new directions energy.
Finally // beautiful stranger: Kurt, I'm going for kelliott, but also it fits kadam, it's theme of meeting someone after going through so many heartbreaks allowing yourself to fall in love.
Beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms and I know
That beautiful strangers only come along to do me wrong
And I hope, beautiful stranger, here you are in my arms
But I think it's finally, finally, finally, finally, finally safe For me to fall
alone: girls group number again, they would nail it.
Alanis' Interlude, britina duet, bi icons.
Cause your pussy is a wonderland / And I could be a better man / It doesn't matter to me
'Cause he is she is her / And her and he are love
And I have never felt the difference / Tired of all these labels
Still Learning, fapezberry duet, it would be very gay.
wipe your tears, quinntana, it's a wlw song and very them.
Keep your friends close, but this pretty girl closer / Kiss her on the neck, little baby is a poser
Thinks she's so cold, but the world is colder / Take her in my lap and I'll promise that I'll hold her
My bed is too big for only me / I keep a pistol when I sleep
Inside my mouth so I can shoot / Down all the bad things
Now or Never: I realized I still haven't Mercedes a song, and I just think she would kill this one.

Well that fun little concert made my Saturday.  What a great way to connect (as much as we can nowadays) with fans and raise money for some very worthy causes.  That’s the kind of person he is and why I am still here supporting him after 10 years.  So many great moments; in no particular order, here are some of mine:
The fact that he wanted to do something special to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Blaine Warbler becoming a part of his life and that for some of us (like me) it was our introduction to him
Even if he can’t remember all of the details about the show like some of us (cough cough you sang Everybody Wants to Rule the World in episode 4x03 “Makeover” and had on a white polo and dark pants cough cough), its obvious that his time on Glee meant a lot to him and he knows that it mattered to the fans
2 guitars because of course he needs 2 guitars
The Not Alone t-shirt which I have in my closet
The banner from the back of his set chair with Glee on one side and his name on the other - I thought it might have been a blanket or something until he pulled it off the couch and it turned out to be better than that
The irony of his referring to himself pre-Glee as a human jukebox when that seemed to be the extent of Blaine’s storyline a lot of time during the last few seasons because they knew his songs would sell and the writers were too lazy to come up with any kind of consistency for his character
Harry Freaking Potter
A binder full of songs and his little sign with his name on it
A treasure trove of bts videos - his audition speech to Kurt from NBK, belting out Baby One More Time like he’s got that blazer on already, the absolute GOLD of that Warbler rehearsal video - and his not being at all hesitant to share those with us
Choosing a few of the more emotional Blaine songs to sing:
Against All Odds (one of my very favorite songs covered by one of my very favorite people and I’m sorry but its Klaine FTW on that one)
Cough Syrup - one of his best solos
Somewhere Only We Know - good lord almighty that was absolutely gorgeous
He makes it all look so easy which is what the good performers do
THE BLAZER which somehow still fits him like its 2010 and he looks just as good in it as he did turning around at the bottom of the staircase of dreams
The “Darren wants” tag clipped to it because oh my god YES
If he kept nothing else, he had to keep a blazer, preferably one he wore
And he cannot EVER EVER EVER sell it
Teenage Dream - the song that changed everything for him that still means so much.  Darren having a concert and not performing that would be like seeing Madonna and not hearing Like a Virgin.  The stripped down version from the show that he arranged still haunts me and is something I can’t listen to but I will never tire of watching him perform the song
The fact that he thought enough about how he would have wanted Blaine’s musical story with Kurt to end that he had a song in mind, proving he put more effort into a hypothetical song choice than the writers did at any point in season 6 - and it was an absolutely gorgeous and perfect song to boot
His enthusiasm for things he loves is unbridled and so engaging; I could listen to him talk about music and songwriting for days on end and never get bored
His fantastic on the spot songs created for the names of people who donated - so perfectly Darren
He’s so genuine and intelligent and it comes through so clearly when he can just let go and be himself and its one of the most attractive things about him. $10 for 2 hours of Darren being Darren without ever having to leave your couch is a bargain and I would happily do that again.

Crushing on the rival-Lukadrien June Day 3
Ok, yes I’m technically late, but I don’t care! I wanted to do a Glee AU so bad and this was so hard to do. Usually when reading Glee Klaine fics as lukadrien, Nino is at Dalton since either Nick or Jeff becomes Kurt’s best friend and you can’t split up Nino and Adrien. So Nino attended for a while before budget cuts messed up his scholarship. Kieran is from @depressed-teacup-inc and @sarcasticsparkles Divergence. I meant for him to featured just a little more but it just didn’t work out like that. Adrien’s mom is alive but is spliting up with his dad and I put Chloe in Rachel’s position when it came to dating the enemy first since it always comes up in Anderberry fics when Rachel doesn’t say who Blaine is because she doesn’t want to be accused of selling secrets to her brother. Anyway, please enjoy and we’ll see if day 4 actually comes out. Rival Musicians 
“I can’t believe I’m doing this.” Nino said, adjusting his white tie. He’d forgotten how much he hadn’t been a fan of the Quantic Academy uniform. The pale blue shirts with the black blazers and white ties weren’t his aesthetic and even though it sucked to lose his scholarship, he’d been beyond happy to never put the uniform on again. He looked over to Marc and Nath, who seemed to pull it off with ease.
Totally unfair.
“I can’t believe you let Alya and Marinette bully you into coming to spy.” Nath said.
“No you’re not.” Marc clarified. “Remember how we got together?”
“Yeah, no. this fits perfectly. We should just be glad Chloe wasn’t the one to find out you used to go to school with our competitor. That would have been worse.”
“Yeah, especially since we all experienced her dating the ‘enemy’ last year. Last thing I need is her accusing me of giving secrets away. I really don’t want to bring up her asshole ex in her face. She’s finally starting to open up again.” Nino said.
“Where’s Adrien?” Marc asked, changing the subject. “You made it sound like we have a small window.”
“We do. Assuming things haven’t changed in a year, teachers take the afternoon to have a meeting while letting the students study and such. Or in the Warbler’s case, have impromptu performances to test songs out. If we don’t want to get caught, we need to be there when the mass text goes out and everyone is heading to the Senior Commons.”
Just then, a very familiar silver car pulled up in front of the boys. Adrien climbed out, in a black leather jacket and a white rocker tie but still in the same colours.
“Sorry I’m late. Mom promised the appointment would be over before I had to leave, but divorce proceedings involving my dad aren’t exactly easy. They were arguing over my ‘modelling’ career for a full hour before my mom’s lawyer managed to shut my dad up. I think, that woman speaks like a pirate and is just as ruthless and doesn’t like my dad, so she could have been insulting him for all I know.”
“Sorry you have to deal with this.” Nino said, patting his best friend on his shoulder.
“You haven’t modelled for almost 3 years. Your ‘career’ is just your dad reusing old photos of you for campaigns.” Nath said. “We can only hope we don’t have another instance like when it was your first day at school and you ran into the glee room to hide from your fans.”
“But, hey! We got you out of it.” Nino said. “You stick out like a sore thumb though.”
“It’s not my fault. You said you had enough extra uniforms. You’re the one who didn’t include yourself in the count. Let’s just be happy I have enough clothes to make an iteration of it.” Adrien said.
“Fair enough. Come on.”
All four of them walked into the main building. It was beautiful, a mix of old architecture and new, like a classic hotel or something along the lines. They slowed when Nino did as they approached the front desk, which was thankfully empty with a note to call when arrived.
“I’m so happy the headmaster uses the front desk secretary as his own. I mean, she gives as good as she gets and doesn’t take shit, but she’s also got a practical eidetic memory.” Nino said. “Ok, now there’s a student that we called the Caterpillar – he lived in my dorm and everyone had Alice in Wonderland names – who has access to everyone’s phone number and he’s in the Warblers, so he sends out a massive text message to everyone.”
“How are we even sure they’re planning on doing a performance?” Adrien asked.
“We don’t but I know so close to competition time Marin would want to practise when they have the chance, so at the very least we can peak into the Senior Commons were they practise.”
They got to the first hallway and Adrien saw that what he thought ground level was actually the first floor.
“Cafeteria is downstairs and exits for the gardens and the library. This floor holds some classrooms and common rooms, more classrooms and offices upstairs. The Senior Commons is actually down the hall and downstairs. They got first pick when the place was being built and it has the closest exit to where the dorms are.”
“Should we hang near there or somewhere else?” Nath asked.
However, before Nino could offer a suggestion, the one thing Adrien dreaded pierced through the empty and quite hallway.
“Ohmygod! It’s Adrien Agreste!”
Adrien liked anime, especially the feel-good ones. The one he liked the most was Gakuen Babysitter. The scene before him reminded him of when the twins’ father, a famous actor came to school and was found out by one of the students and suddenly the area around him were swarming with fans. What happened was a bit like that, except screaming boys instead of girls and Adrien actually got a head start in running away.
Nino hated his best friend had to suffer through this, so when he was separated from him and the rest of the guys and only found Marc and Nath not long after, he felt worried.
“Where’s Adrien?”
“We thought he was with you.”
“Ok, screw Marinette and Alya telling us not to get caught.” Nino said, pulling his phone out and scrolling through his contacts until he reached one with the name being just a butterfly emoji. “If they want info, they can come look themselves. My best friend is in a school that’s not desensitized to him being around and we’re find him before we leave.”
Of course, before he could call, he saw a text from the same butterfly named person.
I’m gonna let Marin yell at you for coming to spy.
Nino cursed. He’d been hoping to avoid that. Marinette and Alya were bad and Chloe worse, but Marin lording over him with his gavel, that was something he didn’t miss from attending school here.
But don’t worry. A certain blue haired Hatter was placed in the little Alice’s path. He’ll take care of him. Also, I know a certain March Hare misses you too.
Ok, maybe he’d have to kiss that Caterpillar after all.
                                       ____________________
Adrien slowly opened the door after finally hearing the hallway fill up and all move in one direction. Everyone was speaking excitedly, so no one noticed Adrien slipping out and joining the crowd. He looked around, hoping to see 3 familiar faces but no luck. he didn’t even know if this crowd was people going to see the Warblers. He bit his lip, trying to decide what to do. He could ask and then be in a bad spot if someone recognised him or he could ask what was going on and duck into a bathroom if it wasn’t Warblers related. He decided to risk it.
“Excuse me,” he said, tapping someone on the shoulder. The guy had dyed blue hair and when he turned around Adrien saw he had the piercings to match his punk look. The uniform really didn’t match him at all. “Hi, I’m new here. What’s going on?”
He gave Adrien this smirk as if to say, ‘I know why you’re here’. “I’m Luka.”
“Adrien, nice to meet you.”
“Adrien. Well, don’t worry, I won’t scream your name. and to answer your question, the Warblers are doing an impromptu performance.”
“Oh.”
“If you want, I can take you there. You know, bump into your friends who came to spy with you.”
“S-spy? I didn’t come to spy.”
“Right, so your lack of uniform and Nino being here is a happy coincidence.”
Adrien couldn’t really think of a lie, so thrown off. He let out a squeak when Luka grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hallway. This one was emptier and Adrien took a closer at Luka. his uniform was perfect but his shoes were emblem covered high tops. His nails were painted and fingers home to a few rings. He also noticed a few bracelets peaking out from under shirt sleeve. Luka seemed like such an anomaly in his perfect uniform but things that spoke to his personal aesthetic.
Before he knew it, they were back in a crowd as they entered a room, no doubt the Senior Commons.
“Shot, I do stick out like a sore thumb.” Adrien said, once he saw himself compared to everyone.
“I don’t know, I like your version better.” Luka said, tugging at one of the lapels of Adrien’s leather jacket. “Your friends are over there.” He nodded towards the door, where Marc, Nath and Nino were, all standing on their toes trying to look over the crowd. Nino got distracted by someone with light brown hair and purple rain boots, but Marc and Nath spotted him.
“How did…?”
“I’m sure Nino will tell you about the special ways of the Warblers.” Just at the front of the room, 2 lines of boys appeared as they started to create a beat. “Now if you excuse me. Kieran!”
The guy Nino had been talking to darted over to the lines and Adrien took his place, hearing his friends ask him what happened and if he was ok, but his attention was focused on Luka, who stood in the very front singing.
Before you met me, I was alright But things were kinda heavy, you brought me to life Now every February, you'll be my Valentine Valentine
Let's go all the way tonight No regrets, just love We can dance until we die You and I will be young forever You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
He was good, really good. And he kept staring right at Adrien.
“That’s Luka. we were roommates when I was here.” Nino said, finally getting his attention. “He was well on his way to being lead vocalist when I left.”
“He’s really good.”
“Yeah. Don’t let his accessories fool you, he’s a cool guy.”
Yeah, he was.
When the song was over and the room burst into loud applause, cheers and whistles, Luka found his way over, with the same guy who’d been talking to Nino before and two new people. They reminded him a bit of Marinette and Alya, though one of them had a sever expression currently directed at Nino.
“You come spy and you don’t even come to say hello? I’m ashamed of you Nino.” The one who reminded Adrien of Marinette said.
“Please give it a rest Marin.” Nino begged.
“No, no, let him suffer more. I’m enjoying this.” Kieran said.
“Just to check, you’re not going to report us, right?” Marc asked, looking nervous.
“Don’t worry. Your attempts are endearing and we know Nino wouldn’t bring you over here without good reason.” The other guy said. “we’re not planning on using that song for the Sectionals, so you won’t go home empty handed.”
“How about coffee? Nino doesn’t know this, but we finally opened the coffee bar in the cafeteria, student run. We can stay here if you want.” Luka offered.
In the end, Adrien waited in the room, with Nino getting dragged to be lectured by his old friends and Nath and Marc having such complicated orders, it just made more sense to go with them. Adrien looked around the commons, taking in the couches and many side tables. A few had an almost permanent show print in them, like they’d been jumped on. The few people inside the room still paid his no attention, other than glancing at him.
“Here you go.” Luka said, handing him a to go cup. “Nino mentioned you didn’t like coffee so I got you hot chocolate. Better than most cafes, we make our own with milk.”
“Thanks. Where are the others?”
“Kieran is still making Marin lecture Nino and it turns out Alan is a fan of your friends’ comic, so just me for now.”
“That’s fine. Maybe you can tell me why the tables have footprints on them.” Adrien said, tugging his jacket off as Luka plopped down next to him.
“I have a habit of jumping around on tables during practise. Marin yells at me for it, but I can’t help it. Which is surprising, since I’m pretty stationary during performances.”
Adrien let out a little laugh. “You sound like my cat. Doesn’t matter how many cat perches we have for him; he just climbs up anywhere else. Granted, focusing on him and glee has been a godsend for my mental health recently.”
“Yeah, I’m sure dealing with arguing parents and divorce isn’t easy.”
Adrien looked over at Luka, confused as to how he knew that.
“Oh, yeah. My mom is your mom’s lawyer.” Adrien raised an eyebrow not believing him. “She sounds like this.” Luka said in the same thick accent Anarka had.
“Holy, hey wait. Juleka is Anarka’s daughter, which means she’s…”
“My sister. Competing against each other, but don’t worry. Music is sacred in our house so we don’t play dirty.”
“Whoa.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t go fishing for anything. I just thought that things must be pretty difficult. Your dad makes mom pretty upset.”
“Yeah. It hasn’t been easy. The whole divorce hasn’t but this modelling thing is making things worse. Honestly, I’d be happy with glee drama. It’s the only thing that feels like it makes sense.”
“I get that. I’m older than Juleka, but I’ll be graduating at the same time as her because I ended up pulling out of school for a while. During all that, music was the only thing that made sense.”
“Was everything ok?” Adrien asked.
“Come here.” Luka led Adrien over to a piano that sat in the corner. “Take a breath and listen.” He ordered, resting his fingers on the keys. He watched Adrien do as he was told and he let his fingers move across the keys.
Adrien stared as he heard the emotions he’d been feeling were played. Every note and beat was everything.
“I’ve never been good at words. Mom struggled to get me to talk but she knew I liked music, so that started to become my voice. I guess the easiest way to explain it is I’m an empath. I can hear emotions and I tend to stay quiet. Some people at my old school didn’t like that I kept quite or I could play what they felt. Add on the muscle heads who didn’t understand that liking guys didn’t mean I liked them, things got insane. So I left and came here.” Luka ended Adrien’s song and sat on the bench to look at the blonde. “Even though music sort of got me into that mess, I get it being the only thing that feels like it makes sense.”
Adrien sat next to Luka. “And now you have glee. I was running from fans when I ran into our glee room. Mlle Bustier was ok with letting me hide there but when I saw how much fun everyone was having singing, I wanted to do the same. It’s been my escape.”
Luka bumped his elbow into Adrien’s side. “And people think models aren’t anything like us.”
“I’m really sorry you had to deal with that stuff, but I guess if you hadn’t, you wouldn’t have met Nino and he wouldn’t have taken us here and we wouldn’t get to meet.”
“Guess there’s a silver lining for everything. It’s a shame we’re going up against each other in Sectionals. Hanging out with you would be fun.”
“Well,” Adrien said, shrugging, “No one said we can’t text.”
“I thought one of your team members dated a guy from an opposing team?”
“Who said anything about dating? We’re just texting. I mean, Nino texts you and the others, right? What makes me so different?”
Luka let out a laugh. “Fair enough. Adrien Agreste, rebel. I think you’ve been around my mom too much; she’s starting to take an effect on you.”
“You say that as if being a rebel is a bad thing.”
                                          ______________________
Well Adrien wasn’t a rebel, but he did enjoy talking to Luka. he was easy to talk to and they had a lot in common. When employing the same rules Juleka and Luka had on their houseboat when it came to glee, it was easy to forget he was competing against him. Nino encouraged it when he found out.
“Besides, if you end up liking Lu and asking him out, then I can ask Kieran out. Maybe. I wouldn’t be opposed to it.”
It wasn’t hard to like Luka. he was good looking and funny and nice and his singing voice was amazing. But Adrien also knew dating during competition season was asking for another Chloe situation even if Luka would never do what that asshole ex did. So, Adrien made a deal with himself, he’d ask Luka out after Sectionals. One of them would win and then they wouldn’t compete anymore unless a space opened up. It would be fine.
I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
And of course listening to Luka sing Viva la Vida made Marc lean over to him and tell him if he didn’t ask him out, he would.
But like the world was against him, both the most amazing and worst thing happened. They tied. Chole had said how rare that happened. Adrien could only think about how he felt cheated out of asking Luka out. Which was why he waited in the bathroom, waiting for Luka to come in.
“Hi.” Luka said when he came in. he looked a bit disheartened and Adrien really hoped he was reading the reason right.
“Hey. Congratulations by the way. Your Viva la Vida was amazing. Chloe thought so too and she doesn’t compliment the competition much.”
“Thanks. I know you said you were a countertenor but I never expected you to hold that note in So much better.”
“Thanks. Um, listen. I really hope I haven’t been reading the signs wrong, but…I like you, enough to tell myself that after Sectionals were over, no matter what happened, I’d ask you out. But I wasn’t expecting us to both win. But that hasn’t exactly discouraged me.”
“You haven’t been reading them wrong. It was my plan too but it would really be a bad idea to date. The stakes are even higher now. Though…God, Marin might kill me for suggesting this, but how about one date? One date to get it out of our system and to also give us something to look forward to after Regionals. There isn’t a chance we’ll tie again so it’ll be fine after then, but I don’t think either of us can wait that long.”
The door to the bathroom opened and Nino poked his head in. “Adrien, bro. the bus is here, time to go.”
“Yes.” He said to Luka as he headed to the door. “I’ll text you.”
As Nino dragged him to the bus before the group got angry, Adrien told him what he and Luka planned on doing.
“As your teammate, this is a horrible idea. As your best friend, this is the best idea ever and I demand details after.”

The Christmas Guest Chapter 4
Tumblr media
Author’s Note:
Thanks to @redheadgleek​‘s Write a Little Every Day project, this chapter is done much earlier than I’d hoped, yay! Enjoy the snowball fight, and Blaine realising that (HUGE SPOILER) he might actually like Kurt for real. Who’d have thought, huh?
Read Chapter 1, Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 here on Tumblr, or read the story on AO3 or FF.net.
Chapter 4: Sweet Surrender
In spite of his nocturnal trip, Blaine woke up early, and decided to dress and get downstairs to see if Kurt needed something.
When he arrived in the living room, Kurt was sleeping peacefully. The snoring had stopped, and when Blaine checked his forehead, he was glad to find the fever had subsided too.
“Good, you must be feeling better already,” Blaine murmured, grabbing the blanket that had fallen off Kurt and tucking him in again carefully. “I’m going to let you sleep a little longer.”
As he tiptoed out of the room, he was greeted by Carole.
“Morning, Blaine! You’re up early!”
Blaine smiled at her. “Good morning, Carole. Yes, I’m an early bird. Always have been.”
“Best let the others sleep another while, or they’ll be grumpy. Come to the kitchen, we can make a nice breakfast for everyone.”
Burt came downstairs as soon as the smell of bacon started to spread.
“Bacon!”
Carole shook her head at him. “Not for you. We don’t want you to have another heart attack.”
“Just one rasher? It’s Christmas!”
“In two days.”
“Oh, come on! Please?”
Carole gave in. “All right. One rasher. But then I don’t want to hear any more complaints about the healthy food I’m serving you the rest of the week. Deal?”
Burt sighed. “Okay, okay.”
Carole winked at Blaine, who suppressed a snigger and busied himself with setting the table.
When he had nearly finished his plate, he heard a groan coming from the living room.
“Ah, Kurt is waking up!” Carole said. “I’ll make him some eggs too.”
“I’ll go see if he’s okay,” said Blaine.
He arrived just in time to keep Kurt from face-planting, and escorted him first to the bathroom and then to the kitchen.
After pouring Kurt a mug of tea and adding a generous spoonful of honey, Blaine sat down again to finish his own breakfast, smiling at how out of it Kurt still seemed. He didn’t seem to be sniffling or coughing anymore, though. That was good.
They made cookies after breakfast, and it made Blaine’s feeling as if he’d stumbled headfirst into a Hallmark Christmas movie even stronger. Kurt was clearly an experienced baker, whipping up two kinds of dough in no time, and letting Blaine eat the scraps.
Then Kurt’s stepbrother Finn arrived, all six feet plus of him, his size and demeanor reminding Blaine of the jocks who’d bashed him into hospital before he transferred to Dalton Academy, and he shrank into a corner until Carole introduced him to Finn and he got a smile and a hug from the gentle giant, who seemed genuinely pleased to meet him.
By the time they had all decorated the tree together, Blaine’s worries had evaporated, and he enthusiastically agreed to a snowball fight in the garden.
He and Finn were having so much fun goofing off that it took some time for them to notice that Kurt had joined them.
Unlike them, Kurt hadn’t chosen to just grab some snow, pack it together and throw it. No. Kurt had chosen stealth and strategy. He’d built a shield he could hide behind, he’d made towering stacks of snowballs and had even fashioned some kind of sling to be able to throw the snowballs further.
He also had deadly aim. His first snowball hit Finn straight in the chest, with so much force that he almost fell over.
“Uh oh,” Finn said. “Okay, man, we’re going to have to team up, or we’re toast.”
The two of them hid behind trees, but every time they ventured forth from their hiding place, they were pelted by such an onslaught of snowballs that they couldn’t get round to launching an attack of their own.
It took Kurt only ten minutes of this to wear them down. By then, their coats and trousers were white with snow and pretty much soaked through.
“Aw, man, this isn’t fun anymore!” Finn complained. “Kurt, why do you always take these games so seriously?”
Kurt appeared from behind his snow shield, his clothes as good as pristine, his stance regal and his eyes blazing with determination. Though Blaine had suffered just as much as Finn and was just as ready to give up the fight, he thrilled to this version of Kurt, who looked magnificent. It lit a flame somewhere within and made him forget all about his freezing fingers and toes.
“Do you surrender?” Kurt asked, his chin up and his back rigidly straight.
And ugh, the steel in his voice made the fire inside Blaine burn even brighter.
Finn shrugged. “I guess. I’m going back in.”
“I surrender,” Blaine answered, not entirely capable of keeping a quiver out of his voice.
Something sparked into Kurt’s eyes, and he started coming towards Blaine without looking away even once, but a mere two foot from him, he seemed to change his mind and veered off towards the house. “Let’s get inside, Carole is going to make us hot chocolate.”
Blaine felt himself deflate. What had he expected to happen, exactly? Why was he all a-tingle like this? And what was this strange energy between him and Kurt?
A sudden gust of wind made him shiver and hurry to the back door. Hot chocolate sounded heavenly.
When Blaine came in, Finn was complaining again, this time about the seating arrangements in the living room. As victor of the snowball fight, Kurt had claimed the big sofa for himself and Blaine, and forbade Finn to squish in too.
“You can take the loveseat,” Kurt said.
“That one’s hard as a rock!”
“Sit on the floor for all I care. The sofa is ours! Come, Blaine! I’ve got your hot chocolate right here. That will warm you up.”
Blaine accepted the mug gratefully, holding it with both hands to get his fingers warm again, and drinking deeply.
Ah, that’s better!
Finn stomped out of the room in high dudgeon to go complain to his mom, but Carole agreed with Kurt.
Blaine saw Kurt grin in satisfaction, and the grin only widened when Finn came back in and found fault with his film choice too.
“Seriously, man? I wanted to watch Die Hard!”
“I won the fight, so it’s my pick.”
“Burt, back me up on this, come on!”
Burt looked up from his newspaper. “We can watch Die Hard tomorrow.”
Kurt added, “Now stop being a baby about this. Either shut up and watch, or go do something else.”
Finn looked mutinous, but plonked down on the loveseat and shut up.
Kurt hummed along with the opening music and pulled Blaine a little closer still. His arm around Blaine’s middle felt both possessive and grounding. Blaine felt the spark from before rekindling, a jittery feeling that made him want to… What? He didn’t even know, but he wanted. Oh, he wanted!  
“What is it?” Kurt murmured. “Are you uncomfortable like this?”
“No, no.”
Blaine wiggled until his head fit exactly into the crook of Kurt’s neck, and then let himself sink into Kurt’s embrace. “Perfect.”
He felt a laugh rumble through him, and Kurt’s hold tightened infinitesimally.
“Good,” Kurt whispered, and softly kissed the crown of his head.
Blaine felt his lips stretch from ear to ear and closed his eyes to bask in the feeling of utter contentment that washed over him.
He couldn’t imagine anything that could ruin the moment now.
Of course, that was because he forgot about Finn.
“Mom, I’m hungry! Can I have some more cookies?”
“You already ate them all, hun!”
“So when’s supper?”
“After the movie.”
“But I’m hungry!”
Finn disappeared to the kitchen, grumbling under his breath, probably to search the pantry for snacks to tide him over until supper.
“Want a chocolate chip cookie?” Kurt asked Blaine softly, holding out a cookie tin and looking very smug.
Blaine burst out laughing. “Is this still payback for Finn putting snow down your shirt?”
“You know it! Also, I wanted to save some cookies for us. Finn ate all the shortbread and the last of the sugar cookies before we even got a chance to have some. Greedy pig!”
Blaine took a cookie and savoured it. “These are the absolute best.”
“Mmm.”
However lovely it was to cuddle up with Kurt, Blaine became uncomfortable after a while because his wet trousers felt cold and clammy and seeped all the heat out of his legs.
“I’m going to put some other pants on,” he whispered to Kurt. “I’ll be right back.”
That promise fell into the water when Cooper called him while he was in Kurt’s room, blathering on and on about all the fancy parties he’d been to and would still be going to.
It took nearly an hour for Coop to stop talking about himself and to ask what Blaine was doing for Christmas.
“I’m in Ohio,” said Blaine.
“But Mom and Dad are on a cruise!”
“Yep. Thanks for telling me about that, by the way. How long have you known?”
“Oh, they told me this summer, I think.”
“Lovely.”
“You didn’t know?”
“Nope. Flew out here for nothing.”
Cooper whistled low. “That sucks. So you’re all alone for Christmas?”
“No, actually, I’m not.”
There was silence at Cooper’s end. Then he asked, “So… You’re saying you’ve been hooking up with Sebastian again?”
“What? No! Ugh. Coop, please. As if! He cheated on me!”
“So who’s with you, then?”
“Kurt. I’m staying with his family.”
For the second time, his reply managed to silence Cooper.
“My boyfriend, Kurt, remember?”
“Um, no?! Now who’s forgotten to tell their brother something?”
Blaine laughed. “Well, it’s recent, so that will be why. I probably haven’t called you yet since we became an item.”
“So… Tell me about him.”
That was all the prompting Blaine needed to start singing Kurt’s praises, and it wasn’t until he’d rung off that he realized two things.
One: he’d referred to Kurt as his boyfriend without even thinking about it, whereas they were only faking a relationship. He’d regret that later, since Coop would tell their mom for sure, and he’d have to hear about it for years.
Two: he desperately wished they could be boyfriends for real. Somehow, in what the Warblers would call a classic Blaine move, he’d fallen for Kurt. Hard. And in a matter of days. There was no way this was going to end well. He was so screwed.

i’m about five years too late and nobody asked for this except me and i need to just get this out of my brain because it’s 2am so here’s a list of things i wish happened on glee that didn’t HERE WE GO:
- new directions being actual teenagers. just them hanging out. going to group sleepovers. giant study sessions (because school exists in this universe?) like remember in tpp when they were eating lunch together ? that’s what i wanted MORE of. just them being actual friends. a sleepover episode is all i wanted imagine all the abba songs we could have gained from that episode
- a halloween themed episode. the closest to this that we got was the ‘thriller/heads will roll’ mashup which YES was iconic but im greedy and it’s not enough. my idea for a halloween episode is that the gang gets trapped inside the school after staying behind to idk rehearse? or something? and then things get progressively worse as they start to go a little mad, thinking the school is haunted and they split up into pairs trying to find an escape and they think they’re seeing ghosts/someone lurking around the school and they’re getting real spooked but it turns out it’s just sue fucking with them lmao
- kurt and finn being brothers. THE POTENTIAL WAS THERE and sadly after furt we are left with crumbs. why ?? WHY?? little moments like finn saying that he’s driving back home with kurt or them saying they can’t do something because they have a family thing would have been good enough. more scenes of them hanging out in their home with their parents would have been *chefs kiss* but alas. it never happened because glee writers are bastards
- based off my last point: sam actually living at the hudson-hummel house because he actually did live there? but nothing is ever said like what’s the dynamic there why weren’t kurt and sam and finn close if they all lived together for what? like a year? was sam living in the mf shed? did he ever get close to carole and burt?? where tf did he live when everyone went off to college did he just stay in their house lol who knows not me LMAO
- blaine dealing with his trauma ? mental health was never dealt with very well on this show. emma’s ocd was just ignored after she got married or whatever and blaine mentioned his trauma once and then it was ignored until it was mentioned in passing a few seasons later and even he just brushed it off and it was never brought up again like wtf. i have no idea how they wrote a whole episode about hate crime in bash and they never once thought to have blaine and kurt have a single conversation together, let alone a conversation about how they’d both been victims of a hate crime. AND THE ONLY TIME BLAINE DOES MENTION IT IS IN TESTED WHERE ITS JUST USED AS A REASON FOR THEM TO FIGHT AAAAAAAA no wait im calm it’s okay. i just would have liked to have seen kurt and blaine have an emotional moment together in that episode that didn’t include blaine singing and kurt being knocked tf out. just sayin.
- kurt dealing with HIS trauma !! again, glee gets bad points for talking about mental health and it just is crazy that they had so much potential with kurt, ie: depression, anxiety, ocd (kinda?) his bullying, being literally assaulted (i see u ryan murphy taking that whole plot line so loosely mmhm) and then shoehorning in the fact that he was suicidal AT THE SECOND TO LAST EPISODE when they had a whole episode about suicide and they could have mentioned it at any time but ofc they didn’t because the writers just wanted to shove in as much as they could in the flashback episode AYE AYE AYE the potential!!!! oof.
- literally just more tina. jenna ushkowitz is a fantastic actor/singer/preformer and she was criminally underused. i like the episode props because of two reasons: one. everyone switching characters was amazing. and two. some actual tina scenes. even if she.. technically was rachel but also herself or something? either way. i digress
- this is just in general but MORE ABBA AND ALSO THE CARPENTERS and also some sound of music songs would have worked GREAT but they already had like a million songs and as the show progressed they veered away from old songs and more towards popular songs at the time to help chart numbers blah blah blah whatever it’s cool. but also how did they only do a few abba songs that is criminal
- a more fleshed out ending that wasn’t so rushed. like rachel won a tony and everyone else is just? there? why is sam at mr shue’s house ??? how did artie get up the stairs? did quinn graduate from yale? and where tf was kurt and blaine’s child during ‘i lived’ because burt and carole are vibing in the audience and rachel isn’t pregnant so like? is the baby just?? alone somewhere in the wings?! lmao where are u bby girl!! but once again i know they didn’t have the time to do it so idk it’s fine what they did it just sucks we didn’t get more! but again. fanfic exists so yah im all good
- more of blaine’s mum. or mom, in this case i guess. why cast gina gershon and then give her ONE line like ? ik there was a whole deleted script that explained why she was there but i love that up until that point blaine seemed like he genuinely murdered his parents, lived in their big house all alone and when people got suspicious he just told them that they were “out of town” :) either way pam is great i love her and i wish she had more to do in the one episode she was ever in. not even a moment with blaine?? wasted.
- more of cooper anderson, matt boomer is so fucking funny everytime i think of the emotion tornado i bust a lung laughing like it’s so fucking stupid but oh my good i love it. (and if you haven’t watched the special feature of cooper’s transformers audition tape please please watch it because it’s just so funny.) ik he was just a special guest but i wish they got him back for at least the wedding ep but guess my mans was just busy. boo ;(
- going back a couple of points, i wish they’d done a whole episode like props. every actor here just shines when they’re impersonating each other. finn and puck as kurt and blaine is beautiful and quinn and sugar is incredible. also idk why they refused kevin the right to wear the cheerios skirt; they could have put a little more effort into some characters but that’s glee for ya lmao but yeah. a whole episode like that would have been so much fun
- they should have let chris colfer write more episodes. purely for the fact that he wrote with his own bare hands the whole scene where lea michelle’s character gets dragged down a road by dogs. this guy. it’s a shame he only got to write one since he actually did a really good job! i would have loved to have seen what other episode ideas he had :)
- glee in the summer! obviously it only was centred around the school year but after season 3 who honestly gave a shit about the glee club and mckinley lmao i wanna see them in SHORT SHORTS and POOL PARTIES but nope we just got september - june so like rip all my hopes and dreams
- WHAT HAPPENED TO DALTON? bitch just burst into flames ?? and for WHAT?? oh yeah plot convenience smh this is so sad i wish they’d either written something better than “we need the warblers to team up with new directions so uhhh the school burnt down” like. it’s a private school. if the school is gone and they’re just staying at mckinley what are the parents paying for? they’re just cool with sending their kids off to public school now? every adult in this universe has been murdered by these kids, haven’t they? they’re just doing whatever they want jfc
- a wedding was a good episode. ish. and yknow, huge kudos to them because gay marriage wasn’t legal in the us at the time so im less harsh on the fact that they definitely threw up the rainbow flags and made it less about the characters getting married and more so “we have gay characters and look they’re getting married what a concept” but i do wish we could have gotten some more married!klaine since they don’t really have much to do after this understandably but a little moment alone together after the wedding would have been nice :) IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IM TELLING YOU
- get rid of the hummelberry friendship and send mercedes to new york instead. i have nothing else to add to this other than the fact that i mourn the fact that kurt and mercedes went from bffs to just. school mates. this is tragic this is traaaaagic !! and all for more of the rachel berry show smh
- every day i wonder what was going through carmen tibideaux mind when she watched the kurt hummel preform not the boy next door and was like :) and then watched rachel berry have a breakdown on stage and then proceeded to give rachel the spot at nyada and kurt gets payed literal dust. and THEN she had the nerve to tell him it was because his performance had no heart. AND HOW DID ADAM GET IN THIS BABY GOT BACK MOTHERFUCKER?! nyada is a circus school oh my god !!!!! kurt deserved better im telling yall he deserved so much better
there’s so much more i could rant about but im going insane im so tired and i need psychological help after watching glee so im gonna leave it here and say peace out homies it’s been fun but i need to sleep so bad

Bills, Bills, Bills. it's good omg
Misery. THE POUNDING PART WHILE THEY SING IS JAFBAHBGAEGA
Glad You Came. it's not that high up because I don't like the song that much, but Sebastian's vocals are 10/10
Animal. yes yes yes, tis a bop
Hey Soul Sister. ahdjajskandkdd
Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? it's a bop I'm sorry
Teenage Dream. it's not one I listen to, but it's a good song
Whistle. I don't listen to it that much but definitely a bop
Somewhere Only We Know. it's good, I just don't get the hype for it
Silly Love Songs. it's okay, I don't hate it
Raise Your Glass. it's not bad i just like other songs more
What Kind of Fool. (no❤) I just don't listen to it so
Candles. I never listen to it nucfufjaegb
please don't come for me for my ranking.
I'm just kidding, come for me, I'm right >:)))
anyway, those are my rankings, I love the warblers and I have a bunch of headcanons for them

99 Perspectives on a Single Love Story #18
A/N: The Story of Kurt and Blaine told through the eyes of everyone else but them. Each chapter is a different perspective in the ongoing tale of their love story.
I started something like this a while back - and now I’m taking the idea and really running with it. Each chapter is a ficlet of a different character at a different point in Kurt and Blaine’s life - documenting their love story. This starts in Audition, and each chapter will be paired with a different episode until reaching Dreams Come True.
[Ao3]
***
Wes and David (Born This Way) 
“...and that is why I think it’s a good idea for the Warblers to help me serenade Kurt -- it is a good send off, and a way to show our solidarity and support for a now former member of the team.”  
Wes and David exchange knowing looks.  It’s not unexpected that Blaine would be standing before them, again, asking to use the Warblers for his own personal agenda -- even if Blaine didn’t realize this is what he’s doing.  It’s not like either of them mind all that much, either.  After their loss at Regionals, any performance feels like a good performance.  But as they’ve talked it over with one another on many occasions over the past year - their concern for Blaine has only grown.  
“Blaine,” Wes says, with an unintentional heaviness to his voice.  Blaine almost looks panicked, biting his lip, brow furrowed with worry.  Blaine’s usually so full of confidence, it’s almost strange to see him like this.  “I--” he stops himself and smiles over at David.  “We’re not against the concept of performing, even if it’s outside our normal parameters.”  
Blaine quickly jumps in before he can speak further. “If you’re concerned about the Warblers singing on the New Directions’ turf, I assure you any rivalries stop now that we’re no longer in competition, and I would like to think my newfound relationship with Kurt would only strengthen the concept that opposing show choirs could still remain on civilized terms with each other.” 
David cuts him off with a laugh.  “No, we’re not worried about that.  We’re concerned, well, more about you.” 
“What?” Blaine looks genuinely confused.  
“Over the past few months, you’ve claimed to be in love with a guy from The Gap, dated a girl, and then started this new relationship with Kurt,” Wes points out.  “It feels a little....erratic.”  
“Uh, didn’t you guys have a betting pool as to whether or not Kurt and I would begin a relationship?” Blaine pushes back.  
“You do this, though,” Wes says, his face falling into concern.  “You jump into these things with both feet, and before you know what you’ve gotten yourself into, you seem to not know how to get yourself out.”  
“We just care about you, man,” David adds.  “And we like Kurt -- we really do.  Even if it pains us to hear of his decision to return back to McKinley.  He’s a good kid.  But you are our friend, and you are the one we want to make sure is making good decisions and not using us to further your impromptu romantic whimsies.”  
Blaine seems to redden at the thought, but he doesn’t seem to be backing down.  “I’m not sure I can express how much I care about Kurt.  This doesn’t feel like that guy from The Gap or whatever experiment Rachel Berry was.  He is… my whole world.  And all that I want to do is make his life easier in any way that I can.  I am not trying to use the Warblers to achieve my own end.  I just… don’t know how to express how I feel and singing it just feels easier than the words I can’t articulate.” 
Wes and David exchange worried looks again.  Maybe this does seem different from Blaine’s earlier romantic exploits.  Maybe they have privately agreed that Kurt, while a different breed than anyone at Dalton, is an invigorating change for Blaine.  But Blaine continually puts his heart out there time and time again.  And they just don’t know Kurt well enough to make sure Blaine’s pure intentions wouldn’t be reciprocated at the same level.  They would never want Blaine to be crushed… especially after the whole Gap debacle.  
“I--we don’t doubt your feelings, Blaine,” Wes says.  “But have you considered -- Kurt is leaving for another school.  If the roles were reversed, would he do the same for you?” 
Blaine looks down.  “I am happier than I ever have been.  I know he is, too.  We don’t have to express that happiness in the same way for it to be true.”  They both note the tiny hint of doubt creeping into Blaine’s words.  
“What song were you planning on doing?” David asks.  
“Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know.” 
David, amused, bites his lip, oh Blaine… 
“You really want a redo of Candles, don’t you?” Wes mutters.  David kicks him from underneath the table.  “I mean, it’s a rather heavy song.”  
“Well, this is a good-bye from...the Warblers, to Kurt,” Blaine says, collecting his confidence again.  “And if you want to say something, say it big.”   
“Yes, but our relationship is ending on friendly terms, not melancholy ones,” Wes points out.  
“It’s how I feel,” Blaine goes inward again.  “It’s more personal, I suppose. But it--it works.  It works for what I’m trying to say.”
“And what is it that you’re trying to say?” Wes presses.  
Blaine doesn’t answer, only looks to the floor.  Does he even know?  They have their reservations, but neither Wes nor David want to be the ones to crush Blaine’s spirits.  Besides, this is good for the Warblers -- to get out there and perform more.  There aren’t many reasons not to do it.  But still, they hope that Kurt Hummel understands that Blaine is more than a cute guy with a great voice.  There’s something very special about Blaine, and they don’t want to see him held back by his own fantasies.  
Wes and David take another moment to confer with each other - the two of them being friends long enough to understand each other’s nonverbal cues.  It’s been decided.  “Well, okay then, Blaine, we’ll trust your judgment,” Wes says.  
“The Warblers will sing for Kurt Hummel at McKinley as a good-bye send off,” David adds.  
“Fantastic,” Blaine says, snapping automatically into his cheerful and energetic self.  “So, I have a few ideas…”

Klainetober day 27
Prompt 27: Candy Corn
Summary: Quinn hosts a party, Kurt pines for his best friend, and Lauren is right afterall
Notes: If I wrote glee, this would probably be somewhere in season 2, I guess.
AO3
Kurt was thankful he wasn’t hosting this party. When Quinn volunteered her empty house for a Halloween Bash, he was relieved. Not that Burt and Carole wouldn’t have let the New Directions spend a night watching scary movies in the basement (they absolutely would have) but because Kurt and Finn won’t be on clean-up duty for once. He was also excited for Puck’s promise of alcohol. Though Kurt had bad experiences in the past with drinking he was determined to give it a second chance and limit his intake this time. He would pace himself and hope to God he wouldn’t embarrass himself...again.
Some of the glee club was doing shots (Brittany, Santana, Puck, and Artie) but most were content with the apple cider and caramel vodka mixture Quinn and Mercedes had made. In fact, they enjoyed it so much, the two girls were in the kitchen stirring up a second batch. Having volunteered to be a designated driver, Finn was content with his handful of candy corn.
Unsurprisingly, Rachel had brought her karaoke machine and attempted to convince Finn to sing a spooky duet with her. Except, she was slurring her words and kept saying “spoopy.”
Mike and Tina were half-dancing and half-making out in the center of the living room. Sam was in deep conversation with Blaine and a few other Warblers about the latest Star Wars film.
Lauren came over to where Kurt was standing by the food table.
“Why so glum?” she asked, nudging his shoulder.
“I’m not glum.”
“Are you just a sad drunk cause I don’t need any crybabies tonight?”
Kurt remembered Finn telling him Lauren was an angry drunk. She had torn Puckerman a new one at their last drunk get together.
“No crybabies here,” he swore, “just wishful daydreams.”
His eyes wandered back to Sam and Blaine. They were sitting awfully close together. If Kurt didn’t already attempt to hit on Sam, he’d assume Blaine was interested in the blond. Unfortunately, for both himself and Blaine, Sam was very straight (or so he claimed, Kurt still thought no straight man would bleach his hair) and dating Quinn.
“Lingering feelings?” Lauren questioned, following Kurt’s gaze.
“For Sam?” Kurt clarified. “No, I’m definitely over that crush. It was headed nowhere just like all my other ones.”
“Eh, boys suck anyway. Who needs ‘em?”
Kurt grabbed a soft pretzel and bit off a piece.
Lauren kept talking, “You really have no type then.”
“Excuse me?”
“You’re excused.” Lauren took a sip of her cider from an orange solo cup. “From Gigantor to Southern Surfer to Curly Q. You’ve got me stumped, do they have anything in common?”
“Being nice to me, I suppose,” Kurt told her. “Finn eventually helped with the bullying, Sam was willing to sing a duet with me until Finn warned me not to, and Blaine is like my best friend.”
“You need higher standards, Hummel.” Lauren shook her head. “You can’t just fall in love with nice guys. You need someone who actually cares about you. Who loves you.”
Even tipsy, Lauren gave good advice.
“That’s the thing, I think maybe…” Kurt trailed off.
The front door burst open and in came the remaining Cheerios and football players. Behind them, half of the McKinley population.
“I don’t care what anyone says, there’s gotta be more than one gay at McKinley. You and I, Hummel, are about to find him.”
For the next hour or so, Lauren dragged Kurt around the house and made obscene comments about the party-goers. Kurt’s pretty unwilling to talk to any boy Lauren deems “team gay.” Not because he doesn’t trust her input, he does, it’s just Kurt doesn’t want just any boy, he wants Blaine. They ultimately end up in the living room again and Kurt is back to trying not to be caught watching his crush.
Only Sam is still on the couch talking to Blaine.
“If I get blondie to leave, will you swear to jump in there and talk to him?”
“He’s my best friend. I don’t have trouble talking to him,” Kurt told her.
“Liar. If you didn’t have issues talking, you’d be dating.”
Without another word, Lauren gets Sam away from Blaine. Kurt doesn’t want to know what she said to make him jump up like that but he’s glad for the opportunity. Even though he didn’t really promise Lauren anything he jumps into Sam’s vacated spot on the couch.
“Hi Kurt, enjoying yourself? I feel like I haven’t seen you all night.”
“I was with Lauren,” he explained, “she was attempting to find another gay boy who goes to McKinley to prove me wrong.”
Before they get past how-do-you-dos, Sam is standing on top of a table shouting “Cops!”
At first, Kurt is confused by this but then it all clicks and he understands.
“We gotta go,” Kurt said, grabbing Blaine’s hand.
In no state to drive and thankful Finn had parked a couple of blocks away, Kurt dragged Blaine out the back door and ran. When it came to underaged high school parties, shouting ‘cops’ was like someone shouting fire. That is to say: chaos.
Once the house was no longer in sight, the boys walked to a nearby park to catch their breath.
“Who knew McKinley’s parties were so exciting?” Blaine said.
“I certainly wouldn’t,” Kurt replied. “I thought Quinn was limiting it to glee people.”
“Sam told me she’s already prepping for prom queen. Something about throwing good parties and earning favor with the popular kids.”
Kurt nodded. That sounded like Quinn. Unforgettable parties were a great way to be remembered.
Blaine took a seat on one of the swings. “What were you saying back at the house about finding another gay boy?”
“Oh.” Kurt hoped the cold would explain his red cheeks and sat on the swing next to Blaine. “I told Lauren there’s no other out gay kids at McKinley, it’s just me.”
“And?”
“Pretty sure, I’m still right. We were unsuccessful.”
“Not for long,” Blaine said.
Kurt whipped his head around. “What do you mean?”
“I’m transferring so I guess the out gay population just doubled.”
“Why?” Kurt blurted out. “I mean, you are?”
“Yeah, um, my mom’s had enough of my dad’s BS so we’re moving to Lima. I want to live with her so that means leaving Dalton.”
“Well, I’m sad that you have to leave the Warblers but I’m also glad you’ll be with me. At McKinley that is.”
Blaine ducked his head and chuckled.
“You being at McKinley is definitely a bonus.”
Kurt shyly smiled back at his friend.
“So, I don’t want to make things weird but I feel there’s an opportunity here. I was talking to Wes and Sam earlier and they agreed there’s really nothing stopping me from asking now.”
“Curiosity peaked,” Kurt replied.
“Just promise you’ll say no if you don’t want to. We can completely forget I even asked at all if that’s what you want.”
“Okay…”
Blaine rubbed his hands on his jeans.
“Can I kiss you?”
Kurt’s eyes widened a bit before he started looking around in confusion trying to process this new development. Only in a few of his daydreams did Blaine return his feelings. Was this actually happening? Or was some sort of witchcraft at play?
He must’ve nodded his head because Blaine stood up from the swing.
“You’re sure?” he asked, leaning in.
“Yeah.”
Kurt met him halfway. He wants to say it was a perfect first kiss but it wasn’t. No fireworks, nothing like that, and Kurt had no idea what to do with his hands. Would Blaine feel weird if he ran his fingers through his curls? Should Kurt hold his waist?
It was also brief. A few seconds of lips touching. Chaste and sweet but not mind blowing.
“I really like you, Kurt,” Blaine told him. “Are you busy tomorrow?”
“I’m not busy.”
“Have dinner with me?”
“I’d like that.”
Blaine smiled and sat back down on his swing.
“And Blaine,” Kurt said. “I really like you too.”
At school on Monday, Blaine’s first day and Kurt’s first day with a boyfriend, Lauren met Kurt at his locker.
“Heard there’s a new kid.”
“Yeah, there is,” he confirmed.
“Guess I was right after all,” she replied.
Kurt tilted his head, confused.
“There is more than one out gay kid in McKinley. You can thank me for telling Sam the cops were coming later.”
With that, she walked away leaving Kurt staring after her with his jaw open.
“Hey you,” Blaine said, leaning against the lockets. “What’s going on?”
“Lauren Zizes is not a force to be reckoned with, Blaine,” Kurt told him, shutting his locker. “Don’t test her.”
“Noted. Walk me to class?”
“It would be my pleasure.”
If their hands brushed together a little too long as they walked in the hallway, no one said a thing.
