Don't stand so close to me

Part 26

Living together with Rachel is actually fun and exhausting at the same time.

Sometimes her motivation can be a bit much, her ambition too and her drama too exhausting. But on the other hand it's fun and the three friends with similar interests get along really well.

Over the day they are in school.

At home the friends first do their homework and help each other with it.

In the afternoon everyone can do what they want like visiting other friends or family or inviting them over or just anything they want to do.

In the evening after cooking together while eating they talk about music, musicals, movies and shows, gossip, new york and fashion.

Boredom, not existing in that house.

The other good thing is that it's now easier to shoot the short movie clip for Ms Shoras class. Since Rachel plays one of the biggest parts they can shoot a lot already and the others can just come to them.

About a week before deadline Kurt and Blaine are done with everything. The others still work on cutting or re-doing some other scenes and Kurt and Blaine are happy to help.

Luckily everyone finished in time and can bring their material to the teacher.

Ms Shora will spend the next two weeks with correcting the paperwork, rating the review and watching the clips. In two weeks everyone will get their grades and a few clips, the top 5 to say better, will be presented to the class.

Now all that's left to do is wait those two weeks for the grades and prepare for graduation in less than a month. That also means slowly starting tp pack for New York.

Then the day of grades has come. Kurt and Blaine are more than curious, exited and nervous. They put a lot of work in the project, finished first and most important: If they wouldn't got paired for this project, they wouldn't be where they are now.

Closer than ever, happier than ever, a couple like no other.

"Before I give you your grades I'll tell you which work we will see today. While you watch I will call you outside in your pairs to tell you your grades" Ms Shora explains in the beginning of her class.

Okay so in fifth is Lisas and Max clip. Then Lucas and Jacob, Nadine and David, Laura and Luisa and in first Kurt and Blaines" she continues and gives the 10 students some time to cheer.

While she does she prepares the first movie and presses play when silence fills the room again.

First one to get their grades are Kurt and Blaine who are really happy but still nervous.

"Boys I have to congratulate you in many ways" Ms Shora starts "Your work was by far the best but don't tell the others I said that". The boys laugh, their tension vanishing. ""You were fast and did really good" Ms Shora says and asks "May I ask how you two proceded?".

And so both boys tell the teacher how they wrote the review and the homework and the detailed steps for the slip making, taking turns in telling.

Then the teacher continues with a topic that surprises both boys "I also have to congratulate you on how much you grew up over the year".

"Blaine you already have been a good person but almost too good, always seeing the good in people. But sometimes people aren't nice and I think it's good tht you learned that now before heading off to the outside world. I don't know what caused that lesson but I'm glad you now know to be careful at times" she says.

Kurt and Blaine look at each other, knowing exactly what made Blaine realized how cruel people can be when he saw Kurt laying on the ground that one night.

"I', also grateful that, although Kurt and you didn't had a good relationship you gave hima d chance while working with him. Who knows where you both would be now if only one thing would've been different" the teacher adds.

Once again both boys look at each other, this time also interventing their fingers and smiling.

"And Kurt, in the begin of the school year you were always late and quiet even tho you care about your grades and are a smart boy. Now that you came out of the place where you were hiding you are a really good student and friend. You really grew up this year and I hope it stays that way" Ms Shora now compliments the other boy.

"Thank you" he says and the other boy agrees "Yeah, thank you Ms Shora". "You're welcome and now go in and watch the clips with the others. Oh and I think it's pretty clear by now but you both get an A" the teacher says and gets in with the boys to pick the next pair to go outside with her.

One week later the bog day finally comes. Graduation day.

"God I'm nervous" Blaine says but the other boy calms him "Why? You have great grades, future planned and everything is fine. Just enjoy the day".

"Okay picture this. My name gets called and no one applauds or says something" the curly haired boy imagines but once again the other boy calms him "You think no one is there for you? You're wrong".

"Aren't you nervous?" Blaine asks and the questioned boy shakes his head "Only about singing". "Kurt honey you have an amazing voice" Blaine reassures him "Why would you worry?". "Because winning nationals doesn't change the mind of the jocks about us. I don't need a slushy or some dumb comments on our graduation day" Kurt explains, not knowing how this conversation turned from Blaines worries to his.

This time it's Blaine who calms Kurt "We will be amazing and if one of the jocks is mean to you just think of it as a goodbye. Enjoy the moment and always have in mind that we mov to New York after graduationa dn won't see those idiots again".

The New Directions will perform after the official ceremony so now everyone is ready to go on stage when their name gets called.

"Blaine Anderson" Principal Figgins calls and Blaine starts making his way to the stage. To his surprise he's not only met by the polite clapping from the audience like he thought butfrom loud cheering from Burt, Carol and those New Direction members who aren't graduating this year.

Smiling widely he goes up on stage, takes his certificate and shakes hands with the principal.

"Kurt Hummel" Principal Figgins then finally calls the other boys name after a while and Kurt is greeted with the same loud cheer from his friends and family like Blaine, Finn, Rachel and the other members of the New Directions who are graduating.

When everyone has their certificate the principal and some other teachers and students take turns with speeches that seem to never end, every speech bringing the New Directions closer to their last performance together before about half of them has to leave.

"And now put your hands together for McKinleys own glee club and the winners of this years show choir nationals. The New Directions" Principal figgins announces the group.

Just as the last note ofthe song slowly grows silent and the audience starts cheering like crazy Kurt can't wait any longer and goes to his boyfriend to kiss him, not minding that they are still on stage and everyone is watching. He's happy. They're happy.
