“Okay, guys, that was good! See you all tomorrow, and remember: this week’s assignment is Communication!” Mr. Schue said enthusiastically as everyone collapsed on chairs or musical instruments or the floor. This year’s number for Regionals was amazing – everyone in groups, two lifts (getting Finn and Sam up to bar at being able to do a lift took literally five months), and there was Vocal Adrenaline amount of energy required for it. In simpler terms: the routine was insane and possibly half stolen from the Cheerios, given how easily Quinn and Santana picked it up.
It was exactly what they needed to put them ahead and Rachel loved every bit of it. Even if she was seriously contemplating taking off her shirt because she was so hot.
“Oh my God, I love you.” Noah’s voice groaned out from somewhere to her right. Turning she realized it was because Sam had just given Noah his water bottle. His chilled water bottle. Half of Rachel was so proud of how far Noah had come in two years – he just told Sam he loved him, even if it was meant facetiously – but the other half wanted to maul Noah and rip the water bottle from him. She quickly turned to analyze her fellow Glee Clubbers.
Lauren was pressing a cold compress to Quinn’s back (Lauren wasn’t even a member anymore, she just hung out with them) and Mercedes was leaning against the piano drinking out of a decorated container – it looked like something Kurt did, all colorful and nonsensical. Tina and Mike were making out heatedly while Finn and Artie watched avidly (and pretended they weren’t). Santana was lying in Brittney’s lap, both girls were wearing sports bras so they took their shirts off (lucky…) which just left Kurt and Blaine.
They had made it to the risers. Kurt was wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans to be able to dance, so Rachel figured that explained why he was essentially allowing himself to be on the floor. Blaine was sprawled out on the riser below him and Rachel imagined they must be holding hands.
Tina moaned from nearby and Puck whistled. Rachel whipped her head in Tina and Mike’s direction and found them practically indecent – Tina was working her hands under Mike’s shirt and it looked like he was trying to unbutton her shirt.
“GUYS! CHOIR ROOM!” Rachel yelled at them, causing them to break apart with sheepish looks. Something about the moment made Rachel ponder over the fact that she’s never had to remind Kurt and Blaine where they were.

“Fellow members of New Directions –”
“Yes, yes, yes, will you get on with it?” Santana snarked immediately. Rachel huffed.
“It has come to my attention that Kurt and Blaine have a problem with which only we can assist them with.”
“Oh hell no –”
“Isn’t that, like, not any of our business?”
“Well I guess that explains where they are…”
Her fellow Glee Clubers, in true New Direction fashion, immediately started causing a fuss. Rachel tapped her foot and just let them get their thoughts out.
“Hey. She obviously has more to say, hold up.” Noah exclaimed, immediately getting everyone to calm down. Rachel flashed him a show-stopping smile. He grinned back before retaking his seat.
“Noah is correct. Now, given that we all know of klaine’s rather charming love for classics, I figured we could appeal to them through song and get this week’s assignment out of the way at the same time. I am passing out sheet music and lyrics for the perfect song to express our concern over their situation.” She passed out her sheet music as she spoke. Once she was finished, everyone once again freaked out.
“Wait, ‘klaine’?”
“I thought we were going with ‘Blurt’?”
“I’ve always been fond of ‘Andermell’.”
“I totally thought we were calling them Kurt CoBlaine.” Brittney, as always, stopped conversation in its tracks.
“Wait, this is…Rachel, what the fuck?” Quinn’s voice broke out from the silence. Rachel huffed before explaining herself.
“Kurt and Blaine have a PDA – Public Display of Affection – issue. I haven’t seen them do more than hold hands in Glee Club. Rumor has it that the first time they kissed in the hallway, a harmless peck before separating for class, a teacher reprimanded them for it! It’s made them think they can’t express any kind of affection for each other, therefore, we are going to communicate to them that this is not so!”
“By singing Kiss the Girl from the Little Mermaid?”
“Yes, now, do you want to help me or not?!” She finally snapped at them. They grumbled and complained, but they all did their best to work something simple out for the number.

Kurt couldn’t stop laughing. Blaine was apparently working with the idea of “if I don’t look at them, I won’t burst out laughing” so he had his eyes closed and looked about five seconds from loosing it. Rachel had to admit that the whole thing had gone over a…little differently in her head. She honestly hadn’t taken into account how much of a dork Sam was, apparently. (Who would have known he could sound exactly like Sebastian from The Little Mermaid?) And she hadn’t taken into account that Finn and Puck would somehow carry on a whole pantomimed “will they or won’t they” that would involve obnoxious kissy faces and exaggerated holding.
“So…does this mean we failed?” Brittney asks from beside Rachel and that seems to be it for Blaine, who starts laughing like his boyfriend. Pretty soon it catches and the whole room is full of laughter.
“What….WHAT was that?” Kurt finally manages to get out, calming down.
“What, you didn’t like my Sebastian impersonation? You wound me Kurt! Blaine, you still love me, don’t you?” Sam says, bouncing over to stand in front of Blaine. Blaine nods through his winding down laughter. Sam grins and sits down next to him and they share a brief fist-bump.
“Okay, does someone what to tell me what that was about before I remember it and go into another fit of hilarity?” Blaine says, arching an eyebrow at Rachel. Rachel huffled, but didn’t get a chance to answer.
“Rach was worried about your lack of PDA.” Noah says, sitting down next to Santana, who had pulled Brittney onto her lap. Rachel looks around and realizes she’s the only one still standing before the piano, so she quickly sits down near Kurt, who turns a confused smile on her.
“Well, obviously, I was concerned because the most I’ve ever seen the two of you engage in is holding hands and I of course heard about that teacher that reprimanded the two of you for sharing a kiss, so I was concerned.” Rachel said. Kurt blinks at her a few times whereas Blaine smiles at her.
“No one ever told us we couldn’t kiss, Rachel, that was just a weird rumor that someone started.” Blaine said while Kurt nodded. Rachel crossed her arms, leveling them both with an unamused look.
“Well in that case, you two should obviously engage in more Public Displays of Affection, there’s no need for you not to.”
“You just want to see two hot boys kissing.” Kurt accuses. Rachel gasps in mock offense. Blaine rolls his eyes and reaches out to tap Kurt on the shoulder. Kurt half smiles before turning towards him and leaning in.
They kiss. Rachel smiles.
