Beautiful Like You
After Sebastian finishes up the Charlie Puth song the rest of the concert becomes a virtual blur for me.
It is quite unfortunate really, because all of these boys have absolutely beautiful voices. A pity I can't fully focus on their songs. What with my mind being a hurricane of thoughts and emotions.
My head and my heart keeps swinging between Sebastian and Hunter.
Those two, tall, handsome, incredibly talented, green eyed boys.
Sebastian and his penchant for speaking French at some of the most inconvenient times, knowing full well what his long dormant accent does to me. Whose sea green eyes can captivate me from anywhere in a room, drawing my gaze to him immediately.
Who I love and want to marry. To spend my entire life with.
I swear.
I think....
The songs go on around me and I don't really focus on anything in particular until Rachel starts bouncing obnoxiously in her seat beside me.
I nudge her in the ribs and hiss her way. "Rach, what's gotten into you??"
She's smiling widely as she points to the stage, whispering back to me. "Cedes and I did this one last year."

I finally focus fully on the stage in time to see Trent, looking ever the precious boy in his uniform, addressing the crowd.
"Well, Flint and I have wanted to do this for quite some time. A good old fashioned Diva Off. What do you guys say? Would you guys like to hear it??"
Cheers erupt from the crowd as I turn to glance at Blaine. He grabs my hand, squeezing it tightly. "Aladdin, who's Flint??" Before he can properly reply to me a vaguely familiar looking Warbler begins to sing.
Holy crap!
They were doing wrong by not featuring more of their voices because this guy sounds absolutely phenomenal, putting all the necessary sass and sexuality into the Maureen parts.
Before long the entire crowd is on its feet, cheering along as Trent and Flint do a playful little 'Diva Off' as he so cleverly put it.
I'm squealing myself as Trent hits some particularly spectacular high notes.
"Blainey-bear, I'm so proud of our unicorn child. He's fabulous!!"
Blaine wraps his arm around my shoulders and squeezes me to his side as the boys on the stage start wrapping up the song. "Shanny-pie, you and Trent are going to take LA by storm for sure."
There is no mistaking that. Trent shares a friendly hug with the other boy as they finish up their vocal duel. More of the Warblers come back on stage and they launch into another high energy song, feeding off the crowds reaction.

No escaping when I start
Once I'm in I own your heart
There's no way to ring the alarm
So hold on until it's over
Oh, do you know what you got into?
Can you handle what I'm 'bout to do?
Cause it's about to get rough for you
I'm here for your entertainment
Oh, I bet you thought that I was soft and sweet
You thought an angel swept you off your feet
Well I'm about to turn up the heat
I'm here for your entertainment
My eyes just about pop out of my head as I watch all of the Warblers, newly graduated seniors and underclassmen, strutting, dancing and flipping provocatively across the stage.
Blaine starts bopping up and down in time to the music, causing me to do so as well since his arms are still wrapped around me.
Females young and old, relatives and friends of the boys, are cheering like teenagers all throughout the auditorium.
This is just insane.
Just then Jeff, sweet innocent Jeff, does this insanely sexualized knee slide towards the front of the stage, shaking his shaggy blonde hair out of his face in the process.
God this is just too much.
Hot damn....
Blaine chuckles in my ear. "Problems there Shann?"
Slowly I tear my eyes away from the stage as the boys voices continue to cascade over us. Blaine's face is split in a wolffish grin.
My voice is hushed, awed. "Blainey, Jeff is supposed to be the cute puppy you want to cuddle and squeeze. Not this very sexual boy. This is sooooo messing with my head right now."
He laughs again and squeezes me tighter to his side. "Oh I'm definitely telling him you said that...."
I shake my head and go back to watching the boys dance about on stage as the song peters out. These Warblers are dangerous and highly detrimental to my health.
"So now that we've gotten you all riled up some, what do you say we give you a little romance?"
Nicky's voice calls out as the group on stage begins to disperse some. He gives a small nod as Hunter, wearing a headset microphone instead of carrying one, starts walking slowly into the waiting spotlight.
From my position in the front row I can see the slight pinkish tinge to his cheeks as he locks eyes with me, mouthing a small hi before he flickers his gaze up to focus out on to the rest of the audience.
"Well I really don't know how something sweet is going to compete with what you guys just saw, but I'll give it a shot."
He continues moving slowly downstage, hands clasped solemnly in front of him, until he stops almost directly in front of me before addressing the crowd again.
"This next song, like most, is about a girl and a boy. About love. True, undeniable, raw emotions. Direct from me to you. I hope you enjoy it."
His eyes flicker down to me one more time and then at the crowd still standing on their feet around me before he opens his mouth to begin. I can already feel the tears coming to my eyes and my cheeks warming up. And I know now, that if it wasn't for Blaine's strong grip on me I would collapse into a puddle on the floor in front of the stage as he starts to sing, to the crowd.
To me.
Perfect
(Originally by Ed Sheeran)
I found a love for me
Darling just dive right in
And follow my lead
Well I found a girl beautiful and sweet
I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow, your heart is all I own
And in your eyes you're holding mine
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath
But you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight
Well I found a woman, stronger than anyone I know
She shares my dreams, I hope that someday I'll share her home
I found a love, to carry more than just my secrets
To carry love, to carry children of our own
We are still kids, but we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man
I see my future in your eyes
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
When I saw you in that dress, looking so beautiful
I don't deserve this, darling, you look perfect tonight
Baby, I'm dancing in the dark, with you between my arms
Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song
I have faith in what I see
Now I know I have met an angel in person
And she looks perfect
I don't deserve this
You look perfect tonight
His eyes never leave mine the entire time he is singing, being backed up flawlessly by some of the other Warblers.
At some point Blaine lets me go, and I sway slightly back and forth to the beat of the song. Getting myself lost in the timber of Hunter's voice, the green of his eyes. My feet move me ever so slightly closer to the stage.
And then the song tapers to its end and I realize what is going on, my minute movements, catching myself before anyone notices how close I've gotten to that boy on the stage singing to them.
To me.
Blinking fast, my eyes glaze over with tears as my hands fly up to my face.
I need to get out of here.
Fast.
The song ends and the audience begins to applaud, but all I do is flee.
Heading straight for the exit door near the front of the room.
Giving one glance over my shoulder before I push through the doors, seeing Hunter bow quickly and then making a beeline off the stage as well.
Into the wings.
In the exact direction I am taking as well.
