Pairing: Endgame!Klaine once Blaine smartens up. Kurt/Puck/Finn (Friendship/family)
The crowd finally died down to a soft murmur, all-standing around waiting for another performance. None of them, well except the three Warblers at the front, truly understood this wasn’t planned, having musical performances popping up all over the mall on V-day. No, this was impromptu, what New Directions excels at.
The three boys stared at the crowd before turning back to each other. A small smile ghosted Kurt’s lips as Puck and Finn bumped fists right in front of him and left it there. They turned to him and grinned. He playfully rolled his eyes before raising his fist and bumping it against the two other boys. They held it there a moment before letting them drop.
Puck was the first to act. He looked out at the crowd and zeroed in on the only Uniform that was staring at Kurt and only Kurt. ‘Hobbit boy must be Brian- er. No. Blaine? Yeah.” He stepped towards the boy and faked a lunge, catching his attention with the movement. Blaine flinched but stayed where he was, giving Puck an idea.
“Kurt, it’s your turn.” He pushed the smaller boy back and stood in front of him so no one could see them talk. “Now’s your chance to give him the big old finger and get it all out. You got Curly Sue’s attention. Now punch him in the face- er, with song.”
A wicked smirk graced Kurt’s red lips. “Puck, I truly like the way you think. On this matter,” he added upon seeing Puck’s smile turn into a grin.
“So what song are you thinking?” Finn asked as he swung an arm around his stepbrothers shoulder.
Kurt took out his phone before pulling something up on his phone. “This.” The three smirked and nodded before taking their places. Puck took up the guitar again as Finn went back to the drums. Kurt sat at the piano and tapped a few keys before turning around and looking Blaine in the eye. A dry grin curled his lips up as he played out a few notes.
“J-j-jam,” Finn stuttered out before jumping in with the drums. Puck joined in with guitar. Kurt jumped up from the piano only to have the store clerk jump on it with a secret smirk on his lips.
“Woe, oh, oh, oh, oh. Woe, oh, oh, oh, oh. I kind a feel like it don’t make. Like-like-like it don’t make feel. Like it don’t make se-se-se-se-sense,” Kurt sang out as he bounced over to Puck and danced with him a moment before turning to the crowd- to Blaine.
“I'm thinking, baby, you and I are undeniable.” He moved closer to Blaine, placing both hands on his heart before backing away with a sneer on his lips. But I'm finding out loves unreliable. I’m giving all I got just to make you stay. Or am I just a roadblock in your way?” At the last line he threw his hands up and turned around looking at Finn who nodded encouragingly.
“Cause you're a pretty little windstorm out on the boulevard,” he sang over his shoulder as he danced around Finn and the drum set. “Something like a sunset, oh you're a shooting star,” he spat out sarcastically while Finn and Puck repeated ‘shooting star.’ “And I might drive myself insane, if those lips aren't speaking my name.” Kurt put his hands to his head and rotated his neck before throwing them out and jumping back.
“Cause I got some intuition, or maybe I’m superstitious.” Puck came up to his side, singing with him and bumped his shoulder causing them both to take a step to the side.
“But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I’m swallowing down. To counter this addiction,” Kurt spat out as he started walking backwards, leaving Puck in the forefront. “You’ve got me on a mission. Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?” Kurt stopped moving for a moment before looking directly at Blaine and singing softly, “How can I say no?”
“He’s got a love like woe,” Kurt practically cried out as he threw his hands up and moved back a bit.
Puck made his way to the drum set, leaving Kurt to vocally bash the Uniform with bad hair. “Whoa, oh, oh, oh. Boys got a love like woe. Whoa oh, oh, oh, ba-da-da,” they sang out as they glared the three Warblers down.
“I kind a feel like it don’t make sense. Because you're bringing me in and now you're kicking me out again.” He punctured the line with a high kick, spinning around and landing it looking at his two friends.
”Loved so strong,” they all joined together in harmony. “Then you moved on. Now I'm hung up in suspense, because you're bringing me in and then you're kicking me out again.” They all turned back to the crowd. The energy was escalating as they all danced, moving shoulders back and forth as Kurt stepped forward. Both Puck and Finn had their game faces on now and they were staring down the Warblers.
“Its like a hurricane, speed train, he’s a moving car.” Kurt mimicked driving a car with the other hand up in a ‘bitch, please’ gesture before bringing his feet together and hoping together. “Catch him in the fast lane. Oh, I got to know.” He stopped moving and pointed straight at Blaine. “Can I keep up with his pace? Kick it into gear when I see that face.” Kurt pressed the heels of his hands to his temple turning around and staring at the ground.
“You can take up all my time cause you're the only one. That can make a storm cloud break.” Kurt turned around slightly, furrowing his brow as his eyes caught Blaine’s who had not moved since the beginning of the song. ”Pulling up the sun and I can’t get caught in the rain. Can I get your lips to speak my name?” He shook his head as he turned to Finn and Puck, singing the next part with them.
“Cause I got some intuition, or maybe I'm superstitious. But I think you're a pretty sweet pill that I'm swallowing down. To counter this addiction you’ve got me on a mission. Tell me darling, can I get a break somehow?” Puck and Finn both stopped, smiling at the smaller boy in front of them.
“How can I say no?” the fair haired boy sang softly before pulling himself back and grabbing Puck by the shoulders and pulling him to the drum set. With a smile to both of them they bounced in place and blew into the chorus with so much energy that everyone who witnessed it could have sworn they were physically hit with it. They finished the song and the repetitions left singing to each other. Kurt placed a hand on Finn’s shoulder while his other gravitated to Puck’s elbow.
The song ended with Finn getting up and extending his right hand up to Kurt. For a moment Kurt didn’t know what to do before Puck bumped him from behind with a chuckle. He took Finn’s out stretched hand with his left one, cupping it strong.
“Freakin’ adorable,” Puck muttered as he sung the guitar behind his back and offered his hand to Kurt as well. The fair-haired boy couldn’t help but throw his head back and laughed as he mimicked the movement crossing his right arm under his left. The two taller boys grinned as they extended their free hands in front of the smaller boy and bumped firsts.
“K-Kurt?” a small voice stuttered out. All three turned as Blaine looked at them curiously. Kurt grinned as he pulled away and looked at his friend before popping a hip and grinning.
“Isn’t there a retail worker you should be puppy-dogging behind?” he asked sugary sweet before throwing a warm smile over his shoulders. “Give me a few, I’ll be back.” With that he walked up to a Blaine and grabbed him roughly at the shoulder and dragged him away. He didn’t know where the confidence to force Blaine back on track but there was a voice inside of him telling him it was the right thing to do. And this way if it bombed he would be there to watch.
Outside while the mushroom cloud was forming at the death of Blaine’s daydreams Finn and Puck were sitting in the food court, trying not to look like they are watching, sharing a large thing of fries.
“So, think we should still kick the boys ass?” Puck asks before sticking a few fries in his mouth.
“Think Kurt has this.” Finn nodded as a slow smile crept across his face. Finn watched his stepbrother, no his brother, pat the short boys back before shrugging and turning to head back to them.

Also this is not the end but after seeing the episode I couldn't help but incorporate the klaine parts. The next chapter will deal with the coffee shop scene than it goes completely AU from there. I do believe they handled it extremely well. Also I need a beta? Anyone interested?
