[The video flickers on to show Kurt standing in his room, hands clasped in front of him, a somber and tired expression on his face.]I know some of you are sick of all the singing we've been doing in the past few weeks, and I know we've been ridiculed and looked down on because of it

[Sorry Kurt, all you get is text because he does not want Kurt or anyone to see him crying over the song.]

I don't think the song fits me very well.

[Because how often does everyone at home call him a coward? It's kind of an everyday occurrence.]

[feelslikegaga]

[And Blaine'll get a text back, namely since... just seeing that response has him crying as well.]

It does, Blaine. You just need to believe in yourself a little more, and you'll see that it does.

You're still here right? Still standing, still living. Still who you are.

I believe in you Blaine. No matter what.

You don't even know me, Kurt. How can you believe in me?

[There are so many things he can say to this. He could tell him how much he does know him, and how much he loves him for all his strengths and faults... but he feels like that would only creep out Blaine more.

There's... there's a fine line he has to walk with this.]

How about I get to know you then?

We can take a day and talk, relax. You can get to know me again, and I can get to know you.

I'd really like to sing with you again, too.

[serenadesdragon]

Okay but...I don't sing.

[At least he won't admit he can sing right now. Even for Kurt.]

I have a rendition of Teenage Dream on my iPhone that says otherwise.

Humor me, Blaine. It'll just be us, and I won't tell anyone else.

I don't know what you're talking about, Kurt.

But...I can try I guess.

[Text]

[feelslikegaga]

I know you don't.

Just trust me, okay? I'll be there in a few minutes.

[Text]

[serenadesdragon]

Okay.

[He's a little hesitant about this whole thing but he's come to trust Kurt this week.]

[Well, true to his word, he's walking into Blaine's room with a flourish a few minutes later, a few hastily scrawled out sheets of lyrics in his hands.]

Now, would you rather Katy Perry, some old rock, or the relaxation of a classic Broadway melody? I for one-

[And the he pauses, blinks, and his eyes are suddenly widening, the papers getting clutched in to his chest] Oh! Sorry, I just... I forget to knock, since I normally don't, its just not me and I forgot, for a second that you didn't... and...

[Okay, breathe Hummel. Blaine isn't that like a scared animal, right...?]

Anyway, I have music for us. Whatever you're comfortable with.

[serenadesdragon]

I-It's okay, Kurt.

[Yes, he jumped a little when the door suddenly just opened with no warning, but when he saw it was Kurt he was able to relax just a bit more.]

I...I don't care, really. I haven't sung anything in years. I'm p-probably no good.

[He smiled a little, letting out a quick breath of relief before he moves over to settle himself on Blaine's bed, making sure to keep a careful, respectable distance between them.]

All the more reason to start again now instead of years down the road, when it's too late to regain your voice. [He leafs through the measly stack of papers in his hands, eventually pulling out one and holding it out to Blaine.] Here. Bruno Mars. Simple, and well within both of our ranges.

[.... Okay, so Just the Way You Are is... kind of a daring choice of songs. But hey, Kurt's not one to play it safe.]

[serenadesdragon]

[He holds the sheet music in his hands and just...stares at it blankly. It's been a long time since he's had something like this in his hands.]

I-I'm not sure about this Kurt...
