Spoilers: Born This Way.


Kurt Hummel walked into the choir room of McKinley proudly, head up and bag swinging gently against his side. It seemed like a dream come true to be walking these corridors again, especially after he'd just lost at sectionals. He'd been ecstatic the moment Mercedes called and babbled out the story of Karofsky. Kurt couldn't imagine him walking down the corridors with a red beret on his head, but then again, he also couldn't imagine Dave stopping Azimio throwing a slushie at the Glee club by stepping in front of it.

Apparently, he'd slowly figured it out on his own that he was who he was and there was nothing he could do to change it. Fresh off the win at Sectionals, New Directions had come back to school greeted by a formal apology and plead for forgiveness from Karofsky. And as soon as Kurt was convinced, he made sure his dad was and then the transfer papers were brought up in an instance.

Kurt was expecting the biggest problem to be Blaine. He'd just pushed the thought of saying goodbye from his head and left it until last minute. He didn't want to say goodbye and it turns out he didn't have to.

Blaine followed him into the choir room, led by Kurt. He noticed Mercedes eyeing their clasped hands and a slow smile appeared on her face. It was odd for most of New Directions to see this boy out of his pristine Dalton uniform and in normal clothes. Well, as normal as you can get when Kurt alters your outfit.

He had easily fit in within the first week, which was saying something as he came from a wealthy private-school boy background and those of McKinley did not. And now here they were, going to this school five days a week and visiting Wes and David every other day. Kurt was so happy that Blaine had chosen to stand by his side and be his boyfriend. His boyfriend. That word still sent pleasant shivers down his spine.

They nodded to Mr Schue and made their way over to the risers at the back, behind Mercedes and a seat away from Finn so they could just sit with each other. Although an adorable couple, the Glee club was already starting to get weary of them leaning against each other, smiling and giggling every so often. They were just so damn cute. Even Rachel wanted Kurt to start fighting for solos again.

"Coffee after school?" Blaine asked Kurt, dropping his bag. Kurt nodded in reply.

"Um, why is Miss Pilsbury here?" Finn asked loudly, stopping the chatter from around the room. Mr Schue turned around from the board, a big smile on his face.

"She's helping us out with this week's assignment," He said proudly and walked towards them, letting them see the word ACCEPTANCE scrawled on the whiteboard, "Now, this is the only club at school that is represented by just about every race, religion, sexual orientation and clique. But many of you are still having a hard time with acceptance."

"Oh that's crazy, Mr Schue, we love each other," Mercedes said, and turned around to Kurt. He grinned and held out his hand. Blaine watched as they waggled their fingers together and combed through their hair in synchrony. He raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Now, I won't deny that you accept each other, but you don't accept yourselves," Mr Schue continued. Everyone threw a glance to Rachel and then back to the teacher, "This week's assignment has two parts. I want all of you to sing songs about accepting yourself for who you are. The best and the worst parts."

"What's the second part?" Rachel asked as he paused.

"Well, we're going to do a group number by the queen of self love," He paused again and Blaine saw Kurt sit up straight in his chair. Mr Schue locked eyes with Kurt and said, "Gaga!"

"Ooh!" Kurt let out a tiny squeal, squeezing his hands out in front of him. While others cheered, he turned to Blaine and said, "We're doing another Lady Gaga number!"

"Another?" Blaine asked, grinning widely as Mr Schue started talking about it.

"Born this way!" He voiced and Kurt gasped again.

"Born this- Oh, I love it!" He sighed happily, leaning back in his chair and looking at his boyfriend, remembering the question, "And yes, we did Bad Romance last year. I was walking around in 6 inch heels, a silver costume and a wig."

He let out a tiny chuckle as Kurt reminisced and Blaine just laughed too, slightly shocked but then again, this was Kurt Hummel. He turned his head and just watched his boyfriend settle back down as Finn asked another question. When Miss Pilsbury started to speak, he gradually tore his gaze from Kurt.

"...We will then use this letter press to write a word, or a phrase that best describes the thing about you that you're the most ashamed of..."

Blaine was chewing his lip slightly as he thought what he was most ashamed of, or didn't like about himself. There were actually quite a few things he was listing in his head but he still didn't want to display them to the whole Glee club. He just didn't know them that well enough yet.

What was one of his biggest insecurities?

He remembered earlier on in the week when Santana had basically let all bitching let loose. He tried to think about what she had said about him.

"Hold up," She interrupted with a sigh, "Could we all just get real here for a second? I hear that Rachel's got a bit of a schnozz. I mean, I would know, because like Medusa, I try to avoid eye contact with her. But can we all just stop lying about how there aren't things that we wouldn't change about ourselves? I mean, I'm sure that Sam's been to the doctor's office and rifled through pamphlets on mouth reduction. I'll bet Artie's thought about getting his legs removed since he's not really using them anyways. Midget Blaine here probably wants boosters injected into his ankles so he could be just that little bit taller and I'm definitely sure that Tina's looked into getting an eye de-slanting."

And then the perfect word, something which would make sense but something he could also poke fun of, popped into his head.

He turned to Kurt to find him looking at him. Kurt raised an eyebrow as if to say, "You thinking what I'm thinking?" Blaine grinned as he realised that his was going to be awesome because he had a great idea so he nodded.
