Secrets

Part 44

Seven Months Later:

"Nationals baby" Blaine says overly exitedas he walks out of the airport with the other New Directions. "New York Baby" Kurt says equally exited as his boyfriend and takes his hand.

After the check in in the hotel Mr Schue gives the group some time to get their stuff up to their rooms and get ready a bit before meeting them down in the hall again to talk about the next few days.

It's a wild mix of practice and free time but for the rest of the day the New Directions get free time since they only just arrived. So everyone can decides for themselves what to do now.

A part of the group stays inside to unpack their stuff or take a nap.

Some of the group members decide to just go out and decide spontanious what they do or where they could do.

But Kurt and Rachel can hardly hold back their exitement to finally go out of the hotel.

The two friends die for New York, musicals and Broadway, already knowing that this is something both want to do in their future. So of course the friends prepared a checklist on what to do and where to go when they're in New York.

Now three days later the day has come. Well prepared the New Directions drive from their hotel to the beautiful theater where Nationals takes place.

Once there they go to their room, already as good as done. While the boys do some last minute fixings on their hair the girls are busy with hair and make up, refreshing what the light wind destroyed on their way to the theater.

When everyone is sure that they look good the group warms up their voices and bodies together. The New Directions are up first which is good so they can set the bar high. But still everyone is nervous because the other clubs are just as good, if not better.

Sitting in the audience the New Directions are amazed by the talent of the other glee clubs, watchign them with wide opened eyes and dropped open mouth. They too were great but so are the others. It'll really be a close call today.

While the judges are in their room, deciding who wins and who loses, the New Directions are backstage in their room, freaking out. The other glee clubs aren't better and even tho the judges are very aware of the fact that the kids are freaking out, they take all the time they want, making the kids wait longer.

Finn is walking up and down the room over and over again, not listening to Rachel as she tries to calm him. Blaine sits on a chair, not keeping his right leg still and ricking it up and down at a rapid pace.

Kurt is calming Mercedes, even tho he too feels like he could throw up but he gives Mercedes in Quinns hands as he notices his boyfriends nervous tick.

He comes closer and sits down on Blaines lap, forcing his lap to stand still. "I wish that I could say that you don't have any reason to be nervous-" Kurt starts and Blaine ends his sentance "But you're nervous as hell yourself". Kurt nods and both boys start to laugh at that for a little moment. "But seriously if we win or not, you were amazing" Kurt says. "You weren't bad yourself" Blaine answers, causing both to laugh again.

When they calmed down again Kurt leans closer to his boyfriend, kissing him. He could feel Blaine relaxing in the kiss. Kurt knows that his kisses have such an amazing power over Blaine but Blaines kisses aren't different. When the curly haired boy starts kissing him back Kurt too relaxes a bit more.

"Go and get a room" Santana interupts the couple. But looking at the latina the boys can see hers and Brittanys arms wrapped around each other, doing just the same until that moment what Kurt and Blaine did. "I could say the same about you" Mike says and puts an arm around Tina to pull her close and Tina kisses him on the cheek.

The whole group laughs, the tension falling off them for a moment. Since two years the New Directions are a group now and some of the members even found love. But no matter if they found love or not they know one thing. They are a family.

Then finally the judges made their decision and every glee club is called on stage again for the results.

The New Directions cuddle together on stage, holding hands, silently praying for a first place. Non of them really listened to what the host has to say and concentrates on the important parts like the place and their name.

"And in third place" one of the judges announces but the New Directions doesn't hear their name. Keeping their eyes shut, they hear a glee club celebrating and the audience cheering before it's silent again.

"And in second place" but again nothing. This could only mean once thing. Slowly the group opens their eyes again, not having realized what happened until the judges announce "And the winner of this years Nationals are the New Directions!".

Only slowly the realization hits, starting with Mr. Schue then more and more members until everyone realizes that they won! The New Directions won the Nationals!

Since this is really not a dream the New Directions start celebrating while the crowd still cheers for them. Mr. Schue walks to the front to take their trophy and looks back to his kids, smiling at the sight.

Finn kisses Rachel, Mike kisses Tina, Santana kisses Brittany and Blaine kisses Kurt. Those who doesn'T have a partnet just hug each other tightly so Mercedes and Quinn find themselves in Sams tight embrace as he yells "Nationals Champions Whooooooo!".

When Kurt and Blaine break the kiss again, they don't bother pulling away completely and let their foreheads rest against each others. With a big smile Kurt says "I love you. I'm so happy right now" just loud enough so Blaine could hear it and only Blaine. ""Me too baby. I love you too" the other boy answers, kissing his love again.
