He did hesitate for a moment; he wasn’t going to lie. It wasn’t about the idea of going up on stage, going up there with her… No, he was actually looking forward to that. The one problem was, even if he knew he wasn’t doing it for that, there was still something in the back of his mind, playing on assumptions, that out there someone would think he was going at that moment just because Carl had been right before, to one-up him or something…
Except he didn’t see it that way, not really. Sure, the way they got along, the two of them, he did lose his way sometimes. But he’d brought Holly, he wanted to be there, with her… He wasn’t settling. So he looked back at her with a smile.
“Okay then,” he took the card from her and indicated to follow him on the stage. He gave the card to Brad, along with the bowl - to protect from tampering. Brad gave a nod before indicating a ‘five’ to the band. The guitar began to strum, and then the others joined in, as Will and Holly moved to the microphone together, sharing a look before they both began to sing.
[W/H] “I know I stand in line / Until you think you have the time / To spend an evening with me / And if we go someplace to dance / I know that there's a chance / You won't be leaving with me”
After Sam had offered for them to hit the dance floor, he and Quinn had made it just in time to be treated to Carl’s offering of “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” and they danced it with complete abandon, maybe even dropping off certain things, certain thoughts, which also needed abandoning. When the song was over though, they had started moving away to the side, still laughing, out of breath… It was mostly Quinn that laughed, so very amused by Sam’s version of ‘carefree dancing.’
They were walking off when the first few notes of the next song started, and then Quinn felt a hand take hold of hers. She stopped and looked over her shoulder to find Sam smiling at her. “Want to go again?” he asked. She looked around, smiling as well, like somehow that would hide the thinly veiled giddiness starting to well up inside her. Finally she took a step toward him, let herself get led back. He twirled her around before spinning her back into his arms. This dance wasn’t so frenetic… this one they could quietly enjoy, while feeling their hearts beating against their chests…
[W/H] “Then afterwards we drop into a quiet little place / And have a drink or two / And then I go and spoil it all / By saying something stupid / Like I love you”
Quinn just laid her head on his shoulder after a moment, closing her eyes. She knew she’d been lucky to find him. After everything she’d been through, he had been… it felt odd to say ‘exactly what she needed,’ but it almost did sum it up. There was no drama with him. Sure, there’d been a bump here or there along the way, like that whole Beiste ‘cool down’ method, but it was nothing really, compared to…
[W/H] “I can see it in your eyes / You still despise the same old lines / You heard the night before / And though it's just a line to you / For me it's true / And never seemed so right before”
She opened her eyes, looking right at her hand, just on his back, below his shoulder, looked to her finger and the ring on it… his ring. It wasn’t exactly anything law-binding but… When she’d agreed, in her mind, to wear it, she had made a vow, to herself and him both. She’d promised that she would not do to him what she had done to some others… and she promised to herself that… she would be happy, that she would do just as she’d meant to and she would move on with her life… and that was what she’d done.
[W/H] “I practice every day to find some clever lines to say / To make the meaning come true / But then I think I'll wait until the evening gets late / And I'm alone with you
The time is right / Your perfume fills my head / The stars get red / And oh the night's so blue / And then I go and spoil it all / By saying something stupid / Like I love you”
He had this idea in his head that somehow he would lose her. No matter what had happened between them, it still didn’t seem like he was proper owner of her affections. Part of it was that he knew she had history… Not so much in a bad way, just that there was a lot of baggage that she’d stacked around herself like a protective tower… the openings were few and small, and they could close just as quickly as they’d opened, so if he didn’t want to get stuck in one…
The other part, of course, was him… He knew that somewhere here and/or there along the way he hadn’t been honest and still gotten something great to keep despite it. As he saw it though, it could only go so long. Maybe it was just all the paper hearts on the walls, tormenting him. So he just held on to her, in every sense of the word.
[W/H] “The time is right / Your perfume fills my head / The stars get red / And oh the night's so blue / And then I go and spoil it all / By saying something stupid / Like I love you / I love you... I love you... I love you... / I love you... I love you... I love you...”
The song ended, and Will breathed a happy sigh, looking at Holly. She had that smile of hers going… He was glad they’d done this. He offered her his arm. “Miss Holiday, I think it’s time we danced.”
“Mr. Schuester, I think you’re right,” she took his arm and they walked off the stage together.
Mercedes had just told Anthony she would ‘be right back,’ and headed off. She wanted to do something, she wanted to sing up there, maybe show a bit of what she could do… She knew he’d been the one to ask her out, that he’d been so good already, but she still wanted to … show off a bit for him. Did that make her bad? She didn’t think so. But then on the way across the gym she had spotted someone at the door, and her path took a mean left turn.
“Kurt, you guys made it!” she went to hug her friend, who tightly returned the gesture. As they pulled back, there was a brief hesitation, but then she and Blained hugged as well. “Took a while…”
“Please, don’t get him started,” Blaine warned her with a smirk.
“There was this… charming fellow on the road,” he edited himself. “Let’s just leave it at that.”
“Well, hey, I’m gonna go up there to grab a song. I’ll explain it to you after,” she nodded and dashed off, while Kurt and Blaine went looking for Burt and Carole.
However just as she was making her way toward the stage, Santana was doing the same. After Carl’s song had ended and she was ‘liberated,’ she’d turned and found Puck had disappeared, and she couldn’t spot him. She wasn’t going to send ten minutes running around, trying to find him, so she aimed for the saner option. She was going to go up there, do a song, and if he knew what was good for him, he’d be waiting for her the edge of the stage when she was done.
The two girls made it there at the same time, as Mr. Schuester and Miss Holiday were coming down from the stage. “I want to go next,” the girls spoke at once. They turned to look at each other… Who would get to go.
“Well, hey, since you guys blew us away last time, how about you just do a duet?” he suggested, offering the bowl he’d retrieved from Brad. No one moved for a moment, so Holly reached in the bowl, much as she had before, and after putting back the first, second, and third cards, the fourth produced a smile from her and she held it out to the girls.
“How about this?”
