Getting up on the stage and singing with Blaine was a rush and Tina was feeling much better now. “Thank you for this, Blaine. I don’t know why I didn’t think about talking to you earlier about how I’m feeling.” Okay, maybe she had an idea but she didn’t want to think about that. She walked over to the edge of the stage and sat down. Then she patted the space next to her to invite him to join her. Tina looked out at the seats and imagined them full of people cheering her on. A satisfied smile blossomed on her face. “So how are we going to convince Mr. Schue to approve the second part of your master plan?” When she said their teacher’s name, a hint of bitterness and resentment showed. Some of her negative feelings about the New Directions was the result of his choices.
Blaine propped both hands on his hips watching Tina walk off while he grinned filled to the brim with adrenaline from singing and dancing with someone who he only wanted to make happy and seeing it worked. One last peek up at the lighting fixture above–he nodded contentedly and stepped out a circle of white to follow. Navy trimmed cream boat shoes and bare ankles came into view beside her before he plopped down and took her hand letting her daydream before he bounced their shoulders together. “Okay! Two things? Number one? You know you can come to me? Don’t you,” he asked softly, “about anything? Even if my head isn’t in the game? I’m here. Number two’s easy.” He shrugged so matter-of-factly that it seemed he didn’t really think of any other possible outcome other than what he was about say. “I’m going to tell him I want to sing with you. That we’ve worked hard, we deserve the chance and you’ve worked on your own song so you deserve it too. Or? We don’t give him a choice. We’ll take over the glee club until we’re done. It’s not the first time,” Blaine grinned, “Rachel Berry ring a bell?”
