Sebastian cuddles me, sleeping peacefully. Well, as peacefully as a vampire can when he doesn't need to sleep for energy. I lay awake and listen to the thunder, trying not to have a panic attack. I don't want to deprive Sebastian of his sleep. I look at the clock, under the lamp that is on. 3am. Suddenly a large crack of thunder knocks the power out. I scream and Sebastian sits up, holding me to his chest.

"It's okay, baby. It's just a thunderstorm." He says, trying to comfort me. I'm shaking and crying. He sighs and pulls me into a hug. I basically scream into his chest. He rubs me softly.

"Kurt. Honey. Please. It's okay. I have you. I'm not gonna let you get hurt. Just stop, please," he says. His voice cracks and he lifts my head up and connects our lips. I feel my heart beat regulate and melt into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"I'm sorry," I say, tears still running down my face. He kisses them away and puts his hand on the side of my head. I hold it and he smiles.

"It's okay. You can't control how you react to thunderstorms. It's not your fault, okay?" He says. I nod and press my forehead against his.

"I love you so damn much," I say.

"I love you too. Please never do that again. It scared me," he says.

"I'm so sorry."

"Shhh. Stop apologizing and kiss me." He says. I kiss him and it calms me down more. He breaks the kiss after a few minutes.

"What?"

"Go to sleep. You need energy for tomorrow," he says. I nod and cuddle up to him. He buries one ear into his chest and covers my other one with his arm. I fall asleep instantly.

I wake up the next morning, seeing a sunny New York. I look beside me and see Sebastian. He's sleeping. I think. I poke his face and he opens his eyes, smiling at me instantly.

"Good morning, sunshine," he says.

"Good morning." I reply. I kiss him and get up.

"Are you ready to kick ass at Nationals?" he asks.

"As ready as I'll ever be," I say. Sebastian gets up and puts his arms around me from behind. He bends his head down and connects his lips to my neck. I moan and giggle.

"Babe," I say, slowly dragging his hand down my body.

"You say it as if you don't want me to help you with your problem," he says, licking my neck. "Sebastian," I moan out. He puts his hand in my pants and starts to stroke me. I breathe out as he bites my neck softly.

"You're gonna do so well." He says, touching me in other places with his free hand. I feel myself get close and I whine. I release all over Sebastian's hand and he pulls it out, putting up to his mouth. He licks it off.

"Damn you're hot," I say, breathless.

*******

"Alright guys. It's all been leading up to this. For some of you, this is your last nationals. Let's make it count," Mr. Shue says. Sebastian kisses me on the cheek, holding my hand. The lights flash in the green room and everyone heads toward the stage. Sebastian turns me to look at him.

"Good luck, Kurt. I'm so proud of you, and I love you so much," he says.

"I love you, too, Sebastian." I say, kissing him. He holds my hand as we walk out, separating from me as he stands in his spot. The lights come up and I feel adrenaline going into my veins.

Hold up, wait, you used to be a frenemy
Back then boy, ya didn't even notice me
Why now, you trying to get a hold of me
We never even spoke so what makes you think you know me?
It's funny how the tables turn
I'm sitting back baby watching you burn
No regrets, it's a lesson learned
'Cause what you think ain't my concern
About time that I let you know
My ride and I assume control
You blew it baby years ago
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Your voice dropped, you thought that you could handle me
You played me, but now you trying to holla me
You're washed up and now I'm in a different league
Trying way too hard and I don't need your flattery
Now, it's funny how the tables turn
I'm sitting back baby watching you burn
No regrets it's a lesson learned
'Cause what you think ain't my concern
About time that I let you know
My ride and I assume control
You blew it baby years ago
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Hey
You didn't want me it took too long
You didn't want me and now I'm gone
Oh what a shame baby now I'm grown, oh
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown
Grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I'm grown now, grown now
Don't you know that I can hold my own, boy you missed the boat
Can't get with me, now I'm grown

We take our final poses as everyone rises from the ground. Quinn starts us off. Her and Rachel switching for the prechorus. They both take the chorus and we all dance. Same follows for the rest.

I didn't ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all
It's coming down on me
Water like misery
It's coming down on me
I'm ready, rain on me
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Mmm, oh yeah, baby
Rain on me
Living in a world where no one's innocent
Oh, but at least we try
Gotta live my truth, not keep it bottled in
So I don't lose my mind
Baby, yeah
I can feel it on my skin
It's coming down on me
Teardrops on my face
Water like misery
Let it wash away my sins
It's coming down on me
Let it wash away
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
Rain on me
Rain on me
Oh yeah, yeah
Rain on me, ooh yeah
Rain on me
Rain on me
Hands up to the sky
I'll be your galaxy, I'm about to fly
Rain on me, tsunami
Hands up to the sky
I'll be your galaxy, I'm about to fly
Rain on me
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me, rain, rain
I'd rather be dry, but at least I'm alive
Rain on me, rain, rain
Rain on me
I hear the thunder coming down, won't you rain on me?
Rain on me
I hear the thunder coming down, won't you rain on me?
Rain on me

Our set ends with fireworks and the crowd cheers loudly, we walk off stage and Sebastian attacks me in a hug with a long and passionate kiss and everyone whoops.

"What was that for?"

"For being absolutely amazing," he says. He picks me up and we go to the seats reserved for us.

*******

And the winner of the 2012 National Championship is," the announcer pauses.

"The New Directions," we all scream and jump around as the trophy is handed to Mr. Shue. Sebastian picks me up and spins me around, giving me a soft kiss.

We are National Champions.
