Mercedes smiled. "Kurt? Mind helpin' a girl out?"
Kurt stood up slowly. "You want me to sing with you?"
She nodded, a slow smile on her face.
"Wait..." Kurt said, getting excited, "Are you alluding to what I think you are?"
Mercedes lifted one shoulder. "Course, white boy! It's time to blow some minds."
"Well, I can't say no to that."
"Do you remember the-?" Mercedes asked.
"Yep, and the-?"
"Great! I mean, if we're gonna do this-" Mercedes started,
"We've got to do it right. Speaking of, do you have the-?" Kurt finished, an excited twinkle in his eye.
"Hell yeah!" She extracted her iPod from her pocket and plugged it into Kurt's doc.
She nodded to him, he nodded back.
The music started with a familiar melody, except it was in a style that none of the Warblers had heard it before. While they looked around in confusion, the girls were giggling.
A marching band version? Blaine wondered. Of this song?
Mercedes strutted a bit to the center of the room, saying, "Hey, uh, c'mon. Kurt Hummel: take it!"
And then Blaine's head exploded because who knew Kurt could sing like that?
Come on, girl
I've been waiting for somebody
To pick up my stroll
Kurt danced to the center of the room, doing some hip-work that had some Warblers eyes bugging out and others (Blaine) drooling.
Mercedes picked up in her beautiful voice. David couldn't hold back a smile.
Well, don't waste time
Give me the sign
Tell me how you wanna roll
Their dancing was a toned down version of what they actually did in the Cheerios. But that wasn't what Blaine was focused on.
No, he was focused on keeping his brain away from those thoughts as Kurt growled out his lines.
I want somebody to speed it up for me
Then take it down slow
There's enough room for both
Blaine wasn't paying attention enough to hear Mercedes' lines. He squeezed his eyes shut; thinking so loudly he was sure the whole room would hear him: Dapper thoughts, Blaine! Those are not dapper! YOU ARE DAPPER!
Well I can handle that
You've just got to show me where it's at
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go?
David was still smiling in awe. Mercedes had an amazing voice. Pair that voice with her body and diva personality and you get yourself a knock-out.
And Kurt! David was shocked to hear a whole new side to their countertenor's voice.
If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and
Imma give you what you want
Kurt and Mercedes were trading off lines now. It was weird, Wes thought, that Kurt was taking Madonna's part, but it worked for him.
This whole new pop tone to his voice opened up a world of opportunities for the Warblers. Wes could only wonder why Kurt was hiding it from them.
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes to save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy, grab a girl
Time is waiting
We only got for minutes to save the world
No hesitating
We only got four minutes, four minutes!
The little dance Kurt did around Mercedes here made Wes' eyebrows shoot to his hairline. Who knew Kurt could move like that?
Keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri, hey. Madonna, uh
You got to get 'em all hot
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
"This," Quinn stage whispered, "is why I would tap Kurt."
The girls chuckled under their breaths. They couldn't help but all feel like proud mamas.
Well, never mind that. Mamas finding their child dead sexy are creepy.
But they were proud.
They were also enjoying the view on a certain Warblers face.
Blaine almost had to physically keep his jaw from falling off of his face.
Sometimes I think what I need
Is a you intervention, yeah
Was Blaine dreaming? Or did Kurt just give him the most sexy, sultry, appetizing wink he's ever seen in his life?
He tried to focus on Mercedes' lines, and not the ease in which Kurt's hips moved,
And you know I can tell that you like it,
And that it's good
By the way that you move
Oh, hey
Mercedes caught Blaine's eye and let her smile grow wider. Kurt was giving this boy heart failure and he didn't even know it!
Then road to hell is paved
With good intentions, yeah
Was Blaine dead? Yeah, he was. Only angels could sing like that.
But if I die tonight
At least I can say I did what I wanted to do
Tell me, how 'bout you?
Kurt was having so much fun performing with Mercedes.
He felt the music flow through him, as cheesy as it sounds, and hardly had to think about the moves he was doing. He was radiating nothing but confidence.
If you want it
You already got it
If you thought it
It better be what you want
If you feel it
It must be real just
Say the word and
Imma give you what you want
Kurt let himself go at his favorite part of the song, belting at the lyrics and smirking at his audience.
Mercedes loved this song. If only Kurt knew how sexy he was, hoe easy and natural he looked.
Their voices rose together as they danced in circles.
Time is waiting
We only got four minutes to save the world
No hesitating
Grab a boy, grab a girl
Time is waiting
We only got for minutes to save the world
No hesitating
We only got four minutes, four minutes!
The Warblers were moving to the beat, laughing and cheering on their newest member.
Whatever this side of him was, this sexy and confident Kurt; they didn't know where it came from, but it was definitely welcomed.
Keep it up, keep it up
Don't be a pri, hey. Madonna, uh
You got to get 'em all hot
Tick tock tick tock tick tock
The duo repeated the lines once more, Kurt doing a couple of hypnotizing hip movements before sliding into a pose with Mercedes.
"Yeah!" The room cheered for the laughing pair.
"Oh, how I've missed that." Kurt said, still panting slightly as he plopped onto his stomach next to Blaine.
Blaine tried to suppress his intake of breath when Kurt sat back down.
He was simply beautiful; his hair was wild and tousled, his eyes sparkling and glimmering in the dimmed lighting.
The muscles in his arms stood out as he propped his chin up on them, his pale neck stretched gracefully.
There was a slight flush to his cheeks from exertion and his shoulders were visibly rising and falling.
Blaine thinks the biggest difference was his smile. His smile that lit up his whole face.
It changed the demeanor of everyone around him. When he dropped one of those on you, you couldn't help but smile back. It was one of the things he loved about Kurt.
...Loved?
Oh.
Blaine Anderson was in love with Kurt Hummel.
