Nobody's Pov

As everyone settled down the next episode resumed.

The screen turns on and the camera pans inside the choir room of McKinley highschool where we see everyone in their seats.

Mr. Schue was in the middle of the room informing them on some important news.

"Guys, I've got some bad news. You know how we decided on 'sing' by My Chemical Romance for Regionals?" Mr. Schue asked.

Everyone nodded as their teacher sighed before holding up a letter.

"Well, I hold in my hand a cease and desist letter from the band. We can't do it" Mr. Schue revealed.

Immediately protests were heard in the theater.

"What? Are you serious?" Isaac asked in disbelief.

"Yeah, what kind of bullshit is that?" Liam asked with a huff.

"Liam" Stiles shot him a warning glare.

Liam blushed and looked down and quickly muttered out an apology to which a few people laughed.

"Why weren't you able to sing it?" Melissa asked with a frown, turning to the new directions.

The new directions, along with Mr. Schue, all looked at each other before whipping their heads to a certain Cheerio's coach.

All eyes turned to Sue who smirked and winked.

This made everyone's eyes widen and immediately groans of disappointment escaped all their lips.

"It was the perfect anthem" Puck commented.

"How much do you want to bet Coach Sylvester has something to do with this?" Mercedes asked.

"One step ahead of you" Mr. Schue nodded, confirming that he confronted the woman before arriving.

"Why am I not surprised?" Chris sighed while shaking his head.

He, along with everyone else, knew that it was quite clear Sue hated the glee club and would do anything to take them down.

It makes sense that she had something to do with the new directions not being able to sing the song they originally were going to perform.

"So what are we going to do now?" Mercedes asked in worry.

"I think we should write original songs for Regionals" Rachel told everyone.

Stiles frowned at her suggestion, looking deep in thought, as Santana rolled her eyes before speaking.

"Honestly, that's the best option you guys could do when there was probably no time to pick another song" Lydia said.

The new directions looked at each other and had to admit that the girl was right.

Regionals was nearby during that time and they didn't have time to pick another song let alone practice it.

"All those in favor of voting Rachel down a second time?" Santana asked, raising her hand in the air.

Almost immediately everyone raised their hands.

But the ones that didn't were Finn and, surprisingly, Quinn and Stiles.

This made everyone's eyes widened.

They weren't really surprised when Finn didn't raise their hands, they were mainly surprised that Quinn and Stiles didn't raise their hands.

More specifically, Stiles.

Considering he didn't even like Rachel and made it clear that she got on his nerves.

"No. I think Rachel is right" Quinn said.

This made everyone look at her in surprise, not expecting her to say that.

"Honestly I surprised myself when I said that" Quinn muttered to Isaac.

Isaac laughed at that before wrapping his arms around the Fabray girl, causing her to blush and smile.

Stiles sighed before nodding his head as he looked at everyone.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but I also agree with Rachel. This team works best when we push ourselves and do something a little different" Stiles added.

Melissa smiled at the words that came out of her sons mouth.

Everyone looked at Stiles in disbelief, knowing how much he disliked Rachel, and slowly lowered their hands.

"Look what you guys said is true, but if all the other teams are doing amazing songs we're not going to be so good" Mercedes told her friends.

"You're right. We're not going to be as good. We're going to be better" Quinn confidently said.

Stiles nodded as he spoke, "yeah. We won't be using other people's words or music. It'll be our own. Our own heart, soul, not just our voices".

"And we did thanks to a certain someone that wrote his own song. An amazing song, might I add" Mike commented.

The new directions smiled and nodded, their eyes turning to Stiles.

Stiles chuckled slightly as his cheeks turned red and he hid his face into Sebastian's shoulder.

Sebastian hummed before wrapping his arms around his boyfriend and gave his head a kiss.

"Besides, we have a really talented songwriter in our midst. Rachel" Quinn said as she looked at the girl.

Rachel turned to her with furrowed eyebrows.

"I was thinking maybe you and I could write a song together" Quinn suggested.

Rachel looked at her with wide eyes, clearly not expecting that from someone like her.

"Honestly I would've believed I was dreaming or the world was ending" Malia muttered to her father.

"You and me both" Peter muttered back.

Those two working together was unreal and definitely a recipe for disaster.

Especially when those two were the ex-girlfriend of Finn and it's clear that they still had feelings for him.

Well, at least during that time.

Because the bangs girl and the Hudson male were together while Quinn and Isaac were really getting close to each other.

"I'm with Quinn, Rachel and Stiles. I mean, if these three can agree on something, it's probably an idea worth considering" Finn smiled.

Stiles nodded and everyone seemed to be taking this idea into consideration.

"Wait, wait, so suddenly, you two are writing the music for Regionals? No way. I think that everyone should get a chance to write a song" Santana commented.

"Agreed. Everyone should get the chance to come up with a song of their own" Carole nodded.

"It's only fair since no doubt they all have some great ideas for a song" Burt nodded.

The new directions smiled at the married couple but they glanced at each other nervously.

Considering some of them had come up with their own songs and, well, they weren't really looking forward to everyone hearing what they had come up with.

Kurt looked at his friends and raised an eyebrow at their reactions.

He wondered just what songs some of them had come up with since he was still at Dalton. 

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't excited to see what songs they had written.

"Santana's right. We can do this" Sam nodded.

"Thanks for having my back, trouty mouth" Santana grinned.

"Anytime" Sam chuckled at her, shaking his head.

He was honestly getting used to the nickname Santana gave him but it doesn't mean it didn't annoy him a little.

"What do you think, Mr. Schue?" Mercedes asked their teacher.

Mr. Schue was silent as he glanced at his students before nodding his head.

"I think we're doing original songs for Regionals" Mr. Schue smiled.

This made everyone cheer and clap as Rachel looked at Quinn and smiled while the Fabray girl just nodded at her.

"That was the best idea we ever did" Finn commented with a smile.

"Agreed. Especially when a certain someone helped us win" Mercedes nodded, turning to Stiles.

The new directions all nodded and smiled at Stiles causing him to smile back at them.

The scene changes to the next day and we see everyone in the choir room.

Stiles was sitting next to Santana while writing in his journal, looking deep in thought.

"What are you writing there, buddy?" Burt asked the boy he saw as a son.

Stiles smiled and replied with, "just continue watching and you'll see. I promise".

Burt simply smiled and nodded.

"Alright, guys, let's hear it for our first songwriting seminar" Mr. Schue announced as he walked into the room.

This made everyone, with the exception of Stiles, cheered and clapped.

"While Quinn and Rachel are hard at work, we're gonna try to write an anthem of our own. Now, these are rhyming dictionaries for all of you" Mr. Schue said.

He began handing out books to everyone with Stiles taking one for himself without looking.

"Mr. Shue? Tina and I have been already working on a song that I wrote" Santana told him.

Sam's eyes widened at that and he let out a loud groan causing everyone to look at him.

"Oh god, I already know what's coming" Sam sighed as he buried his face into his hands.

Santana and Stiles looked at each other and started laughing with the rest of the new directions following their lead.

Mercedes giggled and patted her boyfriends back to give him some comfort for what was going to come.

"Really? That's amazing. Well, can we hear it?" Mr. Schue asked with a smile.

Santana nodded and got up as did Tina and the two of them made their way to the piano.

Stiles stopped writing and gave his best friend his full attention, wanting to hear the song she wrote.

Santana let a smile appear on her face at that.

Stiles would drop everything for her in seconds and she appreciated that more than anything.

"This is a song that I wrote for Sam. It's called Trouty Mouth" Santana smiled.

The smile from Sam's face disappeared as soon as Santana revealed what the name of her song was called.

"Wait, what's it called?" Sam asked.

Mike leaned closer to him and repeated what the latina girl said, "Trouty Mouth".

Almost everyone did a double take on what Santana said the name of her song was.

"Uh...did she just say it's called Trouty Mouth?" Liam asked, turning to Isaac.

"Yeah, I think she did" Isaac slowly nodded, confused and a little curious.

Everyone was confused by what the song was called but they had to admit that they were curious as to what it was about and what it would sound like.

Tina began playing and Santana took her sweater off as she began singing.

https://youtu.be/_zEd9Zioo2U

Everyone in the theater couldn't help but laugh during the song especially when they saw how the new directions onscreen were laughing and teasing Sam because of the song.

Sebastian couldn't help but lean into Stiles's side as he laughed.

The warblers were in the same boat as their captain.

The adults were trying not to laugh at Sam's expense but it was hard since they too had to admit that the song was funny.

Sam just groaned more while Mercedes, who was laughing, hugged him and kissed his cheek.

Stiles saw the others laughing and teasing Sam due to the song and couldn't help but cover his mouth with his hand, trying not to let his laughter out.

Stiles chuckled before turning to Sam.

"Sorry, Sam. But I just couldn't help myself" Stiles told him.

Sam picked his head up in order to glare at him before burying his head back into his hands.

Sam had enough and quickly stepped in, stopping Santana from singing more of her song.

"Ok. Can we stop? Stop with the mouth jokes" Sam demanded.

"Sit down. I'm not finished" Santana told him as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"There was more?" Malia asked, a grin appearing on her face.

"Definitely" Santana nodded with a grin of her own appearing on her face.

"Yes, you are. Mr. Schue, we're not doing a song at Regionals called Trouty Mouth" Sam said to his teacher.

Mr. Schue nodded as he turned to Santana.

"You know what? I have to agree with Sam on this one. But such a good first effort. I just don't think it's got the, um, epic feel we need for Regionals" Mr. Schue told her.

Sam sighed as he picked his head up and rested it on Mercedes's shoulder.

He was really glad that they didn't sing Trouty Mouth at regionals. Not only would they have lost but he would've been embarrassed in front of many people.

Meanwhile, Santana huffed in annoyance and crossed her arms over her chest.

She still believed her song was great and that it should've been used for regionals.

Yes, the song Stiles made and sang was great but so was hers.

Santana huffed and made her way back to her seat as did Tina. Puck then spoke up.

"Mr. Shue? I wrote a song, too. I wrote it for Lauren" Puck smiled as he looked at the girl next to him.

Lydia frowned slightly at that and shifted in her seat, feeling a little uncomfortable.

She didn't want to hear a song the handsome guy made for the Zizes girl.

Stiles noticed her actions and couldn't help but let a small smirk appear on his face.

Lauren smiled nervously at that and Puck hurriedly spoke again.

"I know that when I sang, 'Fat-Bottomed Girls', it might have hurt her feelings a little bit, but I think this makes up for it. It's got a bit of a rockabilly feel, so it could give us an edge this weekend" Puck explained.

Mr. Schue nodded and said, "alright. Show us what you got".

Puck nodded and got up and grabbed a guitar and faced his friends and teacher.

"It's called Big Ass..." Puck trailed off.

Stiles's eyes widened at that. Everyone else had the same reaction as him with Lauren looking at Puck in shock and exasperation.

"Heart" Puck finished with a smile.

Everyone looked at Puck either with raised eyebrows or deadpan looks, causing said boy to smile sheepishly at them.

"Oh good lord" Melissa muttered under her breath, shaking her head.

Stiles nodded in agreement with his mother figure before turning to Puck.

"Puck, if you ever write a song again and need help with a name just come to me and I'll help you" Stiles told his friend.

Puck beamed at that and sent him a smile as well as a nod.

The new directions sighed in relief at that and sent grateful looks to Stiles.

Lydia did the same but made sure to be discreet about it.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh slightly at that while Mr. Schue sighed and shook his head in exasperation.

Soon Puck began playing the guitar.

https://youtu.be/bJ4KKXG_aIY

As Puck's song came to an end everyone couldn't help but clap. They had to admit that it was a pretty good song.

Everyone in the theater had the same reaction as the new directions onscreen.

"Well, despite the name being the way it is, that was a really good song" Melissa told the boy with a smile.

"Yeah. Nice job, kid" Chris nodded with a smile of his own.

Puck beamed at the compliments he was getting and smiled at everyone and nodded.

He was happy that despite being bad at naming the songs he writes he was still good at writing them as well as singing them.

Mr. Schue nodded as he stood up and moved to stand next to Puck.

"Alright, guys, well, lets, uh, let's make Puck's song a contender, but I don't totally think we're there yet" Mr. Schue said. 

Puck looked offended at that.

"Sorry, Puck. It was a good song, really, but you know we couldn't have used it in regionals" Mr. Schue told him.

Puck rolled his eyes but nodded in understanding.

"So, everyone, look at your rhyming dictionaries, and let's work on banging out some songs that rock" Mr. Schue finished with a smile.

Everyone nodded and just like that the bell rang, causing everyone to stand up and gather their things.

Stiles grabbed his bag and left the choir room. He reopened his journal and went back to writing.

Santana rushed to her best friend's side and linked her arm with his, startling him.

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle at Stiles being startled, it was quite funny.

"Next time warn a poor guy, San" Stiles teasingly told his best friend.

Santana laughed and nodded her head as she wrapped her arms around him. Stiles smiled and wrapped his arms around her.

Sebastian glared at the two best friends before sighing under his breath.

They were just best friends, platonic soulmates, nothing else and besides best friends are allowed to hug each other.

"Hey, where are you headed?" Santana asked.

"I think I'm going to head to Lima Bean. I want to go somewhere where I can work" Stiles told her.

"Work? Are you working on a song of your own?" Santana asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yeah. I am" Stiles nodded slightly.

"Can I see? And why didn't you perform it in front of the others? I'm sure they would've loved to see what you came up with" Santana frowned.

"Well for starters I'm not done with it just yet. And I didn't want to perform it since it's probably not that good" Stiles told her.

The new directions, along with the warblers, scoffed loudly at that causing all heads to turn to them.

"That's bullshit and you know it" Santana told her best friend.

"Agreed" all the new directions said in unison.

"Yeah, you wrote an amazing song and it was even better when you performed it at regionals" Trent nodded with a smile.

"So don't ever say anything negative like that again. Got it?" Thad asked with a stern look.

Stiles smiled warmly at all his friends and nodded his head.

He was really grateful for his friends being there for him and always encouraging him.

Sebastian smiled at the new directions as well as his warblers. He was really happy that no matter what they were always boosting up his confidence.

And he was really excited to see if his darling did end up singing his song at regionals.

"Well, I have nothing to do and I wouldn't mind us hanging out. So, let's head to Lima Bean together and you can show me what you have so far" Santana suggested.

Stiles frowned, looking hesitant, as he and his best friend exited the school building.

"Are you sure? Like I said, it's probably not that good" Stiles told her.

"Definitely. And you're not changing my mind" Santana nodded.

Stiles sighed but nodded as they made their way to her jeep, knowing that nothing would be able to change her mind.

"Got that right" Santana nodded with a grin.

Stiles huffed. He tried bribing her with his famous chocolate chip cookies just so she didn't read what he had written.

But that didn't work since, for once, Santana stood her ground when it came to his cookies.

The scene changes to the next day and we head into the choir room where everyone is once again.

Mercedes had come up with a song of her own and was getting ready to perform it in front of everyone.

https://youtu.be/OWNPArYfGZM

Everyone danced and sang along as Mercedes sang her song and once she finished they all clapped and cheered.

During Mercedes song everyone in the theater couldn't help but either sing along with her or dance to the song.

As it came to an end they all erupted into cheers and claps as they sent smiles to the Jones girl.

"Wonderful job, Ms. Jones" Coach Finnstock told her with a faint smile.

Even he had to admit that the song was good.

Hell, if she posted that for everyone to hear he would definitely listen to it as many times as he wants.

"Thank you, sir" Mercedes grinned at the man.

"You have a real talent, sweetie. Keep it up" Melissa told the girl with a kind smile.

"I will, mam. Thank you" Mercedes smiled at her.

She received a few more compliments from other people and she accepted all of them with smiles.

Sam grinned as he wrapped his arms around his girlfriend and kissed her temple lovingly.

"Awesome job, babe" Sam told her, pulling her close to his side.

"Thank you, kind sir" Mercedes smiled at him, leaning into his side as she sighed in content.

They shared a quick kiss before turning their attention back to the screen with the others doing the same.

Mr. Schue clapped as he stood up and made his way to Mercedes.

"Mercedes. Really, really good" Mr. Schue complimented as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you" Mercedes smiled with a nod of her head.

"But, um..." Mr. Schue trailed off.

Mercedes glared at him and pointed a finger at him, "but my butt, Mr. Shue. That song was amazing".

"Definitely" Mercedes firmly said with a nod of her head.

Her song was amazing and definitely should've been used for regionals. She was definitely still bitter that it wasn't.

"No, I agree. I'm just not sure that it's Regionals material" Mr. Schue told her.

Mercedes rolled her eyes before making her way back to her seat, clearly upset.

Santana raised her hand and said, "Mr. Schue, I wrote another verse of Trouty Mouth".

Sam shot her a look and lifted up a book that had the words 'hell no' written on the front.

Everyone laughed at that causing Sam to smile at them as he let out a chuckle.

Santana rolled her eyes and pouted to which Brittany laughed softly before leaning in to kiss her pout away.

"No, no, no. Guys, guys. Just...just think about it. What's your favorite song of all time?" Mr. Schue asked.

"My Headband" Brittany said.

"Alanis Morissette's, You Oughta Know" Santana said.

"What's Going On, Marvin Gaye" Puck said.

"Puckerman, you're on a roll" Lauren told him with a grin.

Puck grinned back at her.

Lydia shifted slightly in her seat at their interaction, a slight jealous feeling growing inside her as she tried her best to ignore it.

Stiles and Malia noticed her reaction and looked at each other with grins plastered on their faces.

"Ok, and what are all those songs about?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Headbands" Brittany told him with a shrug of her shoulders.

"That's not what he meant, idiot" Theo muttered with a shake of his head.

He missed the glare he was getting from Santana and the fact that she tried storming towards him but her girlfriend held her back.

Stiles heard him and tried to storm towards him but Sebastian wrapped his arms around him and pulled him close.

"Just ignore him, darling" Sebastian whispered in his ear.

Stiles huffed but managed to calm down as he nodded his head and put his attention back onto the screen.

Sebastian let a small smile appear on his face as he placed a kiss to his boyfriends cheek before looking at the screen.

Mr. Schue sighed at her and shook his head before turning to everyone else.

"All these songs come from a place of pain. The greatest songs are about hurt, and that's the side of yourselves I want you to get in touch with" Mr. Schue told them.

Stiles nodded at his words, agreeing with everything he said, as he went back to writing in his journal.

"I have to agree with the vest man. Most songs that people write come from a place of pain and heartbreak" Malia nodded.

"Yeah. That's why their songs are so good" Kira added.

Everyone nodded in agreement since what they were saying was true.

Stiles couldn't help but frown slightly as he looked down at his lap.

His life was full of nothing but pain as well as heartbreak.

From Scott betraying him and choosing some lying bastard over him. From Derek cheating on him during the entire time they were together and trying to either lie to get away with it or justify his actions.

And from losing his father, the person he loved more than anything, the only parent he had left.

Maybe that's why he was able to write a good song and helped his team win regionals.

"That should be easy. Coach Sylvester tortures us for no reason and tries to get the entire school to hate us" Artie said.

Everyone nodded in agreement with his words.

"Yesterday, she filled Britt's and my locker with dirt" Santana told her teacher.

Brittany nodded, "we almost had to spend the entire day cleaning out the dirt if Stiles hadn't helped us".

"Wait, really?" Sue asked, raising an eyebrow as she turned to her favorite student.

Stiles smiled and said, "yeah I did help since I knew it was going to take them a while. Not to mention I bought them some clean clothes and gave them the cookies I brought with me for lunch to cheer them up".

Everyone looked at Santana and Brittany for confirmation and they were met with smiles and nods.

The new directions, along with the warblers, pouted since they were beginning to crave Stiles's famous cookies.

As did the ones from beacon hills. Which consisted of Liam, Isaac and Malia.

Kira and Lydia just laughed at their friends while Melissa shook her head fondly with a small giggle escaping her lips.

"Ok. Ok, slow down" Mr. Schue said.

He rushed to the whiteboard and grabbed a marker and wrote 'dirt' on the board before turning back to his students.

"She literally throws sticks at me" Mercedes added.

"And I had to help her get them out since a few had managed to stick to her hair" Stiles added.

"Again, really?" Sue asked.

"Yes, really. And did you really have to throw sticks at her? I spent a long time trying to get them out since a few managed to get tangled in her hair" Stiles asked, huffing.

Sue said nothing at that, simply looked away while letting out a small whistle.

Stiles sighed and shook his head before leaning against his boyfriends side.

Mr. Schue nodded and wrote 'sticks' on the board.

"Ok, what else? What else?" Mr. Schue asked.

Tina spoke up this time, "she called the Ohio Secretary of State, saying she was me and that I want to legally change my name to Tina Cohen-Loser".

Stiles's eyes widened at that and everyone else had the same reaction as him. They were clearly not expecting that.

Everyone had the same reaction as Stiles and the new directions and almost instantly their heads whipped to Sue.

Who was grinning at everyone and sent them all a wink before looking away.

Parrish scooted closer to Peter and leaned closer to the man and whispered, "she kind of scares me".

"No kidding" Peter muttered, eyeing the woman warily.

Mr. Schue's eyes widened at that, "she..." he didn't say anything else and shook his head.

He wrote 'loser' on the white board and looked at his students.

"Ok, and how does that make you feel?" Mr. Schue asked.

"Well, at first it hurts, but...then it mostly makes you want to win" Finn said.

Everyone glanced at each other and nodded their heads in agreement.

"Well, yeah being insulted by others can hurt. But that only lasts for a while" Melissa told them.

"Yeah. Those insults motivate you to do better and to do whatever you can to win and prove others that they were wrong and that you can do what they think you can't" Chris added.

"And never forget that at the end of the day they are only insulting you and looking down at you just so they can feel better about themselves" Coach Finnstock added.

"And, something I have always said, remember to just block them out. They have nothing on you and they never will" Stiles finished.

The new directions took all of their words to heart and nodded their heads.

They were definitely going to remember their words whenever they're being made fun of or if a slushy gets thrown at them.

"Guys...I think you may have just found your song. Now let's get to writing" Mr. Schue told everyone with a smile.

Everyone smiles at that and lets out a few cheers before doing as they were told.

Stiles shut his journal and stuffed it into his bag before getting up and leaving, yelling that he was going to use the bathroom.

When he was gone Santana looked at his bag before looking at the direction he left in. An idea popped into her head and a grin appeared on her face.

She opened up his bag and took out his journal. She looked at Mr. Schue, who was looking over some papers, and got up and made his way towards him.

Kurt sent a grin to Santana and she grinned back at him along with a slight wink.

He knew his best friend had written an amazing song, he'd never tell anyone this but sometimes he would sneak into his room in the middle of the night and grab his journal and read what he has written.

He stumbled across the song Stiles was writing and he was impressed.

But he knew his best friend would've never shown his idea to anyone, let alone Mr. Schue.

And he was glad that Santana had done it for him since that song of his deserved to be shown to not only their teacher but to everyone else.

Meanwhile, Stiles let out a sigh as he rubbed his forehead while shaking his head.

Sebastian looked at his boyfriend with a raised eyebrow and asked what was wrong.

"I should've just taken my bag with me or made sure to put an actual lock on it so that she didn't get in" Stiles told him.

Sebastian laughed at that.

"Sorry, darling. But you and I both know that she would've still found her way into your bag" Sebastian told him.

Stiles huffed at that but said nothing, not wanting to admit that he was right.

After all, this is Santana we're talking about.

"Mr. Schue. Can I talk to you?" Santana asked.

Mr. Schue looked at her and nodded with a smile on his face.

"Sure, Santana. What's up?" Mr. Schue asked.

"So, if Quinn and Rachel don't come up with a song in time for regionals is there a possibility that someone that has come up with a song can sing it as a solo?" Santana asked.

"That's right" Mr. Schue nodded.

"Good. Because, Stiles has written a song himself and trust me when I say you'll love it" Santana told him.

"I definitely did when I first saw it" Santana nodded with a smile.

"So did we" the new directions said in unison, referring to the copies of Stiles's song Mr. Schue made for all of them to see.

The warblers, with the exception of Sebastian, smiled and nodded since they too loved Stiles's song especially when they first heard it.

Sebastian looked at his warblers and the new directions and grew even more curious as to how good the song was.

The same can be said for some of the adults from Lima Ohio as well as a few people from beacon hills.

Meanwhile, Scott and Derek's eyes widened at what they just learned.

Stiles wrote a song of his own. Stiles can write songs.

They didn't know that. Why didn't they know that?

Derek felt upset that Stiles didn't tell him any of that when they were dating. They told each other everything, at least that's what he thought.

Why didn't Stiles tell him that?

Mr. Schue looked interested and gestured for Santana to show him the song Stiles wrote.

Santana grinned and opened to the page her best friend wrote his song and handed the journal to her teacher so he can look it over.

Mr. Schue looked over the lyrics of the song Stiles wrote and you can see how visibly interested and impressed he was by what he was looking at.

"I really was impressed by your work, Stiles. You have a talent for many things. Writing songs of your own is the main one" Mr. Schue complimented.

Stiles said nothing and simply sent his teacher a small smile and a nod.

The scene changes to the day of regionals.

We're seen at the venue before heading inside the dressing room the new directions were given once they arrived.

The girls changed into blue dresses, black leggings and black boots while the boys were wearing all black.

"Looking good, you guys" Lydia complimented with a smile.

"Thank you. We do our best" Artie grinned as he and Mike high-fived.

The new directions grinned and nodded causing everyone else to laugh in amusement.

Once everyone was dressed they left the dressing room and made their way inside to take their seats and watch the performances before they had to go on themselves.

When they got inside and walked to sit down the announcer spoke.

"And now, from Westvale High School, let's have a warm welcome for Aural Intensity!"

Everyone in the audience clapped while the new directions all sat down and watched as the first performance began.

https://youtu.be/BK2LmJc2Pe0

Everyone in the audience had to admit that the first team was good, the song was catchy and the dancers were great too.

The new directions rolled their eyes at seeing their competition doing their performance but even they had to admit that they were good.

Stiles tapped his best friend on the shoulder causing the Hummel boy to look at him. 

"They may have been good but still not good enough" Stiles whispered.

Kurt chuckled but nodded his head in agreement since his best friend was right.

During the song a few members of the glee club danced in their seats, they had to admit the song was good and the members of Aural Intensity were great dancers. 

When the performance came to an end the crowd gave them a standing ovation while the new directions just clapped politely.

"Why do I have a feeling you guys were tempted to boo at them?" Isaac asked in slight amusement.

"How did you know?" Quinn asked with a slight laugh.

Isaac just laughed causing Quinn to laugh as well and the two of them smiled at each other.

Stiles, Kira and Malia stared at them before looking at each other with knowing grins on their faces.

A small break took place before it was time to perform.

Stiles sat up straighter in his seat. He was excited to see the first performance of the warblers since it would be a duet between Kurt and Blaine.

He remembers Kurt telling him at home and how ecstatic he was that Blaine had chosen him to be his duet partner.

"And don't forget how you told me about your first kiss" Stiles added with a teasing grin on his face.

This made the new directions and the warblers look at each other with grins on their faces before they turned to the couple and began teasing them by making kissing faces.

Kurt and Blaine blushed and looked away from their friends.

Burt chuckled at the couple while Carole giggled and looked at the couple fondly.

"And now, from Westerville, Ohio, the Dalton Academy Warblers!"

This made everyone in the audience clap with Stiles cheering his best friends name, a grin plastered on his face.

The curtain came up and revealed the warblers that were standing together. The audience went silent and soon music began playing and the duet between Kurt and Blaine began.

https://youtu.be/QqP7-GLsL0Q

Stiles couldn't stop the smile from appearing on his face as he watched Blaine and Kurt sing together.

He knew just what had changed between those two. It's the fact that the feelings were returned, it's the fact that Blaine finally realized what he truly felt for Kurt and it's the fact that the two of them were bound to be more than just friends.

Most of all, his best friend was happy and that's all that mattered to him.

Kurt's eyes filled with tears and he looked at his best friend and saw that he was in the same boat as him.

Without saying anything Kurt lunged at him and wrapped his arms around him, burying his head into his chest.

Stiles wrapped his arms around him, hugging him back, as he closed his eyes and let a few tears stream down his cheeks.

"You're the best" Kurt whispered.

"Thanks. The same goes for you" Stiles whispered back.

Everyone watched the two best friends with soft smiles on their faces. Hell, even Coach Finnstock had a soft smile on his face.

And he didn't care if anyone saw that, he was just happy that Stilinski was happy.

Scott, on the other hand, couldn't stop himself from glaring at Kurt with nothing but hatred and jealousy.

As the duet came to an end Rachel and Stiles were the first ones to clap and cheer as they stood up from their seats, both visibly happy for their friend.

Kurt bowed at the audience with a small smile before he and Blaine went to join their friends.

Everyone in the audience sat back down as they prepared themselves for the next performance.

https://youtu.be/mG08XO_MagE

Almost instantly everyone was up on their feet and either cheering or dancing to the song that was being played.

Sebastian had been the first one on his feet cheering loudly for his warblers, nothing but pride shown in his eyes.

The warblers smiled at their captain along with everyone else before deciding to join in on the dancing.

After all, this was one of their best and favorite performances.

As the song came to an end everyone erupted into loud cheers as well as loud clapping, indicating just how much they enjoyed the performance from the warblers.

"Go Kurt! Go warblers!" Stiles yelled, a grin plastered on his face.

When the song came to an end everyone stopped dancing and simply cheered and clapped as loudly as they could.

"Awesome job, guys" Parrish commented, a grin plastered on his face.

"That was amazing, well done" Chris nodded, a small smile on his face.

Sebastian smiled as he looked at his warblers.

"I agree. You guys were great, nice job" Sebastian complimented his teammates.

The warblers couldn't help but beam at the compliments they were getting from not only their captain but from everyone else.

Even if they didn't win they were still happy that their performance was loved by all.

The warblers politely thanked everyone for their compliments and offered them smiles.

Once everyone settled down they put their attention back onto the screen as the episode resumed.

The scene changes backstage where we see Stiles pacing back and forth, his face showing that he was nervous.

"Why were you nervous?" Theo asked, raising an eyebrow.

He was genuinely curious why Stiles looked nervous when he knew that Stiles was hardly ever nervous about anything.

Stiles huffed, he really didn't want to answer that bastards question but he did it anyway.

Maybe because he doesn't want him asking again.

"It was going to be my first time singing in front of tons of people. I was nervous and just didn't really know how to process it" Stiles explained, shrugging his shoulders.

Theo had to admit he was surprised Stiles answered him, he was sure he would've ignored him like he always does.

Nevertheless, he hummed in appreciation and slightly nodded his head.

Stiles merely hummed before directing his attention back to the screen.

Derek and Scott couldn't help but gape at what just occurred.

How is that Stiles answers Theo's questions but he ignores them and their questions?

For god sakes, he doesn't even like Theo!

As he continued pacing he failed to hear his best friend, Kurt, walking backstage with an amused smile plastered on his face.

"What were you doing there?" Scott asked, turning to the boy with a raised eyebrow.

Kurt rolled his eyes.

"Isn't it obvious? I was checking on my best friend and making sure he was alright" Kurt told him.

"But you wouldn't know considering you were never his best friend. Only real friends would do what Kurt, along with the rest of us, does for Stiles" Santana added.

Scott gritted his teeth at that and looked away, not sure what to say.

And he also didn't want to admit that they were right.

Kurt and Santana grinned at each other and high-fived causing Blaine and Brittany to laugh in amusement.

While Stiles turned to his two best friends and offered them a small smile.

"You alright there?" Kurt asked, making his presence known.

Stiles jumped a little before turning to face his best friend. He let out a sigh as he ran his hand through his hair.

"I'm on in a few minutes. I'm nervous as hell" Stiles told him.

"S, you're going to be singing your first solo. You should be excited" Kurt said.

"I can't be excited. I don't even know why I got the solo when I thought Quinn or Rachel would be getting it. But, apparently, neither of them came up with a good song in time" Stiles explained.

"Really?" Isaac asked, raising an eyebrow at the Fabray girl.

Quinn sighed but nodded her head.

"It was really hard to write a song. I tried my best, I really did, but I just couldn't come up with anything in time" Quinn explained.

Isaac merely hummed before wrapping his arm around the girls shoulders.

"Don't worry, writing songs is never easy so don't beat yourself up about it" Isaac told her, a smile on his face.

Quinn couldn't help but let a small smile appear on her face before she leaned into the boys side.

She loved being in his arms, just being near him in general, since he made her feel safe and appreciated.

Rachel, on the other hand, looked down at her lap as she tried to stop a grin from appearing on her face.

She didn't tell anyone this but she had managed to write a song.

But, she never showed it to Mr. Schue.

The reason being that Mr. Schue had made copies of the song that Stiles had written and showed it to everyone.

And she was impressed to say the least.

The lyrics Stiles wrote were really strong and she could feel the emotions through them. Not just her, the others did too and they made sure to vocalize their commentary.

And, as shocking as this may sound, she didn't want the solo.

Which is why she pretended that she hadn't come up with a song so that way Mr. Schue would give the solo to Stiles.

Rachel knew he deserved the chance to be in the spotlight. He deserved it more than her.

And she was happy to have given him that chance.

"Not only that but Mr. Schue read the song I've been writing and he was impressed by it. He made copies of it and showed it to everyone and they were all impressed. Everyone put in a vote and decided that the solo would go to me" Stiles explained.

Stiles shot his friends and teacher a playful glare.

But his friends and Mr. Schue just smiled at him causing him to sigh. 

He obviously wasn't angry at them, he knew they meant well, but he would've preferred if they had talked to him about it.

He literally only found out the day before they had to leave for regionals.

Meaning he literally only had a day, plus the time he and the others were on the bus, to prepare.

"Isn't that a good thing? You're literally getting your chance at being in the spotlight, something you deserve" Kurt reminded him.

"K, you don't get it. I'm a nervous wreck. I'm literally shaking in my shoes right now. What if I mess up? What if I make a fool of myself in front of everyone? What if I'm the reason we don't win and go to nationals? What if I let everyone down?" Stiles rapidly asked.

He then leaned against a nearby wall, trying to catch his breath, but the nervousness from his eyes never disappeared.

Kurt felt his eyes widening at what was happening in front of him.

Never in his life has he seen his best friend this way. Stiles was hardly ever nervous about anything.

Everyone couldn't help but frown as they themselves were in the same boat as Kurt.

It was a little weird to see Stiles act this way since he was hardly ever nervous about anything.

Seeing him act the way he did just a few minutes ago onscreen was surprising to say the least.

Especially for the new directions since they hadn't been backstage but they had seen Stiles sing onstage and he looked full of confidence.

Looks like they were wrong.

Kurt made his way closer to his best friend and placed a hand onto his shoulder.

"S, calm down. Take deep breaths. Everything is going to be alright" Kurt softly told him.

Stiles said nothing and simply followed what his best friend had told him to do.

After taking a few deep breaths he managed to slightly calm down.

"There you go. Feel better?" Kurt softly asked.

"A little" Stiles muttered.

Kurt sighed, he already knew that his words meant the opposite of what they were supposed to.

"Curse you for knowing me so well" Stiles huffed, shooting his best friend a playful glare.

Kurt just grinned at him along with a wink before leaning into Blaine's side.

"S, I know singing in front of an audience is scary. I know singing your first solo is scary. But, you have nothing to worry about. I've seen this song you wrote and let me tell you that it was absolutely amazing" Kurt told him.

Stiles frowned slightly as he looked at him.

"Really?" he softly asked.

Kurt nodded and replied, "yes really. And trust me when I say that everyone else thinks the same as I do. They wouldn't have voted for you to have the solo if it was bad".

"Yeah. Your song was great, you definitely did better than the rest of us" Puck smiled.

"Truth. None of us would've been able to write an amazing song like you did" Artie added, a smile on his face.

The new directions nodded as they voiced their agreements to their friend, their leader.

Stiles couldn't stop the small smile from appearing on his face as he nodded at his friends in appreciation.

"Well, I still think Trouty Mouth was great" Santana piped in, crossing her arms over her chest.

"And my Hell To The No was amazing" Mercedes added, proudly lifting her chin.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at that while a few shook their heads in amusement.

Sam rolled his eyes at his latina friend but smiled at his girlfriend and leaned in to kiss her cheek.

Kurt then placed both hands on his best friends shoulder and turned him around so that they were face to face.

"Listen to me right now. You are going to get on that stage, sing your song and rock everyone with it. You worked hard on it and I know that everyone is going to love it. And trust me when I say that the audience is going to be cheering you on, that'll prove just how much they enjoyed it" Kurt smiled.

Stiles couldn't stop the smile from appearing on his face and he felt his eyes beginning to water.

He wrapped his arms around his best friend and hugged him to which Kurt easily hugged him back.

"Thank you, K. I needed that" Stiles whispered.

"Of course. You know I'm always here for you" Kurt whispered back.

"Always..." Stiles trailed off, turning to Kurt as he began to lean into his side.

"And forever" Kurt finished, smiling as he wrapped his arm around his best friends shoulders.

Stiles wrapped his arms around him and held onto him tightly. He was so grateful to have a best friend like Kurt.

A real best friend, someone that was always there for him and always boosting his confidence up when he was bringing himself down.

Everyone in the audience couldn't stop the smiles from appearing on their faces as they watched the interaction between the two best friends.

All except for Scott.

Who glared at the best friends, mainly Kurt, with anger and jealousy shown in his eyes.

The two of them remained that way for a few seconds before pulling away.

"Now get out there and break a leg. Not literally, but you know what I mean" Kurt said, chuckling at the end.

Stiles chuckled back and shook his head in amusement.

"I will" Stiles said.

The two best friends shared a quick hug before Kurt bid his best friend goodbye as he left to go join the warblers as they were now sitting in their seats with the audience.

Stiles took a deep breath before going to prepare himself before he had to go onstage.

"Thanks for that, K. I really needed it" Stiles told his best friend.

"Anytime, S" Kurt smiled.

The scene changes and we're now onstage where the audience is beginning to quiet down as the announcer speaks.

"And now, from William McKinley High in Lima, Ohio, the New Directions!"

The curtain came up and Stiles walked onstage as everyone in the audience began clapping.

Everyone in the theater began clapping, and cheering, as they watch Stiles walk on stage getting ready to sing his song.

Sebastian grinned and he didn't hesitate to sit up straighter in his seat.

His boyfriend, his darling, was going to sing his song, a song he wrote himself, and he was excited to finally hear it.

Oh, he wishes he had his phone with him so he could take a video of Stiles's first solo.

He wanted to be able to capture this moment and play it forever.

The clapping came to a stop when Stiles reached the microphone and now stood in front of it.

Stiles frowned, he felt his nerves resurfacing, but then he met Kurt's eyes in the audience and his best friend smiled at him and gave him a nod of encouragement.

Stiles then turned around and saw Mr. Schue and the others, who were standing behind him, giving him smiles and nods of encouragement.

And just like that he felt his nerves disappear and a small smile appeared on his face and he felt himself nod back at the others.

"You got this, sweetie. No need to be nervous" Melissa softly smiled at her son.

"Agreed. If you can handle the drama you had to deal with in beacon hills, you can definitely handle singing in front of an audience" Chris added.

Coach Finnstock nodded and he leaned closer to Stilinski and patted him on the back.

"And as long as you have your friends and your teacher supporting you every step of the way, you can do anything" Coach Finnstock smiled.

He wanted Stilinski to know that he has nothing to be nervous about.

Not just for this specific performance, but for every other challenge that may come into his life.

He wants him to know that no matter what happens his friends, his teacher and most of all, his family, were there supporting him.

Stiles couldn't stop the smile from appearing on his face as he took their words to heart and nodded at them, their words of encouragement were greatly appreciated.

Stiles took a deep breath before looking at the band. He nodded at them before facing the audience.

Within seconds music began playing.

https://youtu.be/bv3Kh4-NSDI

(Stiles)
Here's one thing I want you to know
You got someplace to go
Life's a test, yes, but you go toe-to-toe
You don't give up, no, you grow

And you use your pain
Cause it makes you you
Though I wish I could hold you through it
I know it's not the same
You got living to do
And I just want you to do it
So get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Everyone in the theater couldn't stop their eyes widening at hearing Stiles's song. His song.

They knew that one way or another it was going to be great, this is Stiles they were talking about.

But they didn't expect his song to be this good.

No. Not good.

Absolutely amazing!

"Holy shit" Malia breathed out, her eyes sparkling in awe.

"Agreed" Peter muttered with a nod of his head, having the same reaction as his daughter.

He knew his favorite sarcastic human was good at many things but writing songs was something he was most definitely born to do.

It's clear that Stiles was born to do many great things in his life.

The camera pans over to Kurt and he had a proud grin plastered on his face, finally happy to hear his best friend singing his song.

Blaine and the warblers were amazed by the song since they were told that the new directions would be singing original songs. They were impressed by how great this song was so far.

"Honestly, after hearing Stiles's song we were sure we would lose" Thad admitted.

"Yeah, there's no way we'd be able to beat his song and the song that came after that" Nick nodded.

The warblers voiced out their agreements as they themselves had to admit that they knew they were going to lose.

After all they saw just how intrigued the audience was by Stiles's song when he first started singing and they couldn't blame them.

It was amazing.

The camera pans back over to Stiles who had a faint smile on his face before he continued singing.

(Stiles)
Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

Better wake those demons
Just look them in the eye
No reason not to try
Life can be a mess
I won't let it cloud my mind
I'll let my fingers fly

The camera pans over to the new directions and Mr. Schue and we see how some were smiling while some were in awe at how amazing Stiles's song was in action.

Sebastian had the same reaction as the new directions.

But, then again, the reaction he has now is the same reaction he had when he his boyfriend started singing.

But can you blame him?

Stiles's singing voice was amazing but being able to hear how his voice sounded alone was absolutely divine.

His boyfriend was talented in many things and singing, as well as dancing, is one of those talents.

"How lucky am I to have you, darling?" Sebastian quietly asked himself.

Seriously, just what exactly did he do to score someone as amazingly talented as Stiles?

He was unaware of a certain brooding werewolf sending him a glare of anger and jealousy.

(Stiles)
And I use the pain cause it's part of me
And I'm ready to power through it
Gonna find the strength, find the melody
Cause you showed me how to do it
Get up, get out, relight that spark
You know the rest by heart

Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up, wake up

So wake that spirit, spirit
I wanna hear it, hear it
No need to fear it, you're not alone
You're gonna find your way

The new directions eyes widened and excited smiles appeared on their faces when they realized what was coming.

"The best part is near. It's near" Brittany squealed to her girlfriend and friends.

Santana grinned at her girl and nodded in agreement as did everyone else.

The others couldn't help but look at them in confusion but kept on watching, wanting to know what would happen.

Stiles knew what was coming and couldn't stop the proud yet slightly embarrassed smile from appearing on his face.

Stiles took a deep breath before he removed the microphone from its stand and took a few steps forward.

Making sure the microphone was close to his lips Stiles bent backwards a bit before singing the high note of his song.

(Stiles)
Oh!

After hitting the high note perfectly the audience was up on their feet cheering and clapping as loudly as they could.

Everyone in the theater had the same reaction as the audience onscreen.

The second Stiles hit that high note, amazingly might they add, they shot up from their seats and erupted into cheers and claps.

Stiles laughed, his cheeks turning red, as a wide smile spread across his face.

When he looked at his boyfriend he was happy to see Sebastian grinning and staring at the screen with nothing but utter pride and adoration.

And he loved it.

After the high note Stiles picked himself back up and resumed singing.

(Stiles)
Wake up, wake up if it's all you do
Look out, look inside of you
It's not what you lost
It's what you'll gain raising your voice in the rain
Wake up your dream and make it true
Look out, look inside of you
When you feel lost
Relight that spark, time to come out of the dark
Wake up
Mm-mm, wake up

As the song came to an end with the music stopping Stiles felt tears build up in his eyes. He didn't let them fall but a sad yet happy smile appeared on his face.

Stiles could feel tears building up in his eyes as his song came to an end but, unlike last time, he let them slowly stream down his cheeks.

This song was an important one for him because it's a reminder that that he shouldn't focus on what he has lost but on he can gain.

He has experienced heartbreak, pain and grief his life.

And while those things never truly go away, he has learned to take all of that and use it to create something.

And he chose to use all of that into this song of his.

This song was about everything he has gone through in the past and what he's going through now, what he has gained in his life so far.

And most of all...

This song was for his father.

Someone that will always hold a special place in his heart. Always.

Stiles snapped out of his thoughts when he heard clapping and cheering from the audience.

He looked at the audience and was genuinely surprised to see that everyone, literally everyone, was standing and cheering him on. And by the looks on their faces all of them enjoyed his song.

Almost instantly everyone was up on their feet and erupted into cheers as Stiles's song came to an end.

Liam and Isaac didn't hesitate to run at Stiles and wrapped their arms around him, hugging him tightly.

"That was amazing!" Isaac yelled, a grin appearing on his face.

"Hell yeah it was! You did great, Stiles!" Liam yelled, a grin of his own appearing on his face.

Stiles laughed before wrapping his arms around his friend and his pup, he ruffled Isaac's hair before leaning down to give Liam's head a kiss.

The three of them stayed that way for a while before pulling away.

Melissa rushed over to her son and gathered him in her arms, hugging him tightly.

"Oh, sweetie, you did an amazing job. Your song was wonderful" Melissa complimented.

"Thank you, mama McCall" Stiles laughed softly, hugging her back.

The two of them remained that way for a while before they pulled away.

Melissa smiled at her son before cupping the sides of his face with her hands and leaned in to kiss his forehead.

"Your father would've been so proud" Melissa softly whispered.

Stiles felt his eyes widen slightly at that before he let out a small laugh.

Of course she would've figured out that the song he wrote had been for his father.

After all, mama McCall knew it all. There was no getting by her.

Stiles let out another laugh when the new directions and the warblers hugged him all together, all of them congratulating him on his song and threw tons of compliments at him.

After the new directions and the warblers Lydia, Kira and Malia were next.

"Oh, awesome job Stiles" Kira commented with a smile.

"Yeah, you killed it" Lydia added.

"That's an understatement" Malia commented with a laugh.

Stiles smiled at them before bringing the three of them into a hug, giving their heads a brotherly kiss.

After them the adults of beacon hills were next.

All of them had hugged Stiles and shot multiple compliments his way and Stiles did nothing but smile and thank them.

After they were done it was time to see what his boyfriend would say.

Stiles turned to Sebastian and saw him walking towards him.

He opened his mouth to say something but never got the chance to do so.

He let out a squeal when Sebastian grabbed his arm and spun him around and dipped him.

Stiles stared up at his boyfriend with wide eyes, his arms coming up to wrap themselves around his neck, while Sebastian smiled down at him with his arms around his waist as he held onto him making sure he didn't fall.

Without saying anything Sebastian leaned down and pressed his lips onto Stiles's.

Stiles hummed, letting a smile appear on his face, before beginning to kiss his boyfriend back.

He easily melted into the kiss, letting out a sigh of content, as his hands moved to cup the sides of Sebastian's face.

A few people couldn't help but smile at the interaction between the boyfriends.

A few couldn't help but grin teasingly and let out a few wolf whistles.

A few decided to give the couple a bit of privacy and turned their heads away from the scene.

A few were glaring at Sebastian since they were protective of Stiles. They definitely didn't forget about interrogating him later on.

They had to make sure he was good for Stiles and make sure he wouldn't break his heart.

Derek, on the other hand, glared at the couple with his fists clenched tightly at his sides. Nothing but anger and jealousy shown in his eyes.

He began storming towards them, wanting to break them apart, wanting to get that stupid blazer boy away from what was his.

When a firm hand was placed onto his shoulder and Derek let out a yell of surprise when he was forcefully pulled back.

He turned around and saw his uncle standing next to him, keeping a bruising grip on his shoulder, and saw his uncle flashing his werewolf eyes at him.

"Don't even think about it" Peter growled lowly at him.

If there's one thing Peter wasn't going to allow was his stupid nephew to ruin the moment between Stiles and Sebastian.

Especially when Stiles looked happy with Sebastian.

Something he had lacked after what happened with Derek.

Something Peter is relieved he managed to gain back and something he was going to protect no matter what.

Derek gulped slightly at the actions of his uncle and, surprisingly, did as told and stayed put.

To which Peter nodded slightly but he still didn't let go of his shoulder.

Back to the couple.

They pulled away from their kiss and smiles appeared on their faces as they stared into each others eyes.

"You were amazing, darling. Absolutely divine" Sebastian softly said.

"Why thank you" Stiles chuckled softly.

"I'm serious. I know your voice is amazing but what I just witnessed, that was definitely something else. You have great talent, darling. That's for sure" Sebastian complimented.

Stiles couldn't stop the soft smile from appearing on his face.

And he definitely couldn't stop the way his heart fluttered at the compliments he received from his boyfriend.

He wasn't used to compliments from anyone, let alone boyfriends. 

Hell, he and Derek were together for a while but he never once complimented him about anything.

But, here Sebastian had no problem throwing compliments at him.

Something he had done even before they were together.

Something he appreciated more than anything. Truly.

Sebastian leaned down to peck his darling on the lips before pulling him back up but still kept his arms around his waist.

Stiles just laughed as he placed his hands onto his boyfriends shoulder, staring into his eyes with nothing but adoration.

Sebastian had the same look in his own eyes.

Just as they were going to lean in and kiss each other again someone stepped in between them.

And that was none other than Santana Lopez.

"Alright, lovebirds. Lets get back to watching, we still have to finish the episode" Santana reminded them.

Stiles sighed in slight annoyance while Sebastian had no problem letting out a loud groan of annoyance, throwing his head back a bit.

Santana just rolled her eyes before grabbing their arms and dragged them back over to their seats.

Everyone laughed before heading back to their seats.

Once everyone was sat down and settled down the episode resumed.

Stiles extended his other arm out as he put the microphone to his lips once more.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're the New Directions!" Stiles yelled, a grin plastered on his face.

Cheers and claps erupted in the audience as Stiles rushed to put the microphone back where it originally was before rushing to join his teammates onstage, having gotten on once he had finished his song.

Soon music began playing as the members began dancing while the audience quieted down and sat back down.

https://youtu.be/bjKcwjvbZLM

(I really like the extended version more than the original one so that's why I put it here. I hope you all like it too)

Everyone in the theater had grins plastered on their faces.

They had to admit that this song was really, really, good and really catchy at the same time.

As the others were enjoying the song, some beginning to dance and sing along, the new directions looked at each other.

"It amazes me that we were able to come up with a song like that" Puck chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, especially with what little time we had" Sam added.

"But that doesn't matter because we did it and we won because of it" Quinn smiled.

"And don't forget unicorn's amazing song" Brittany added.

She wrapped her arm around her friend and leaned into his side causing him to laugh before hugging her back.

"I have to admit that out of all of our performances, this has to be my favorite one" Tina commented.

"Agreed. It just perfectly defines us" Mike nodded in agreement.

The new directions smiled as they voiced out their agreements.

The performance came to an end when the new directions rushed forward with slushy cups onstage and threw the red confetti that was inside all the cups to the audience.

To which the audience erupted into more claps and cheers.

The new directions all smiled at each other with a few members embracing each other.

Stiles laughed when Santana rushed over to him and hugged him tightly to which he didn't hesitate to hug her back.

Everyone cheered and clapped as the song came to an end.

The new directions smiled at everyone before taking a quick bow.

The scene changes and we see all the members that performed onstage. It was time to see who had won.

"And now, to announce our winner, Lieutenant Governor Stevens' wife, Carla Turlington-Stevens!"

Everyone clapped as the guest judge, Carla, made her way onstage with a microphone in one hand and the envelope that held the winner on the other hand.

Sue couldn't stop the grin from appearing on her face.

While she was still upset that the new directions had one at least she had the pleasure of letting out her anger and frustration.

Starting with the face of wife of Lieutenant Governor Stevens.

Oh she couldn't wait to see how everyone would react to what she had done.

"My husband is verbally abusive, and I have been drinking since noon" Carla informed everyone.

Awkward silence filled the entire air with Stiles frowning in concern for the woman.

Considering he, and everyone else, could tell that she definitely was drunk.

Everyone's eyes widened at what they just heard while the new directions and the warblers let out sighs.

"Oh god, is that true?" Melissa softly asked, concerned for the woman onscreen.

"Sadly, it was" Mr. Schue sighed as he ran a hand through his hair.

Everyone looked at the new directions and the warblers for confirmation and they nodded.

"I'm bored. Let's just see who won, huh?" Carla said.

She opened the envelope while everyone else watched while holding their breaths.

Stiles gripped Santana and Brittany's hands as his teeth were gritted together. He was hoping, praying, that they had won.

If they lost he would do nothing but blame himself. For he believed that he would've let his team down.

Santana groaned loudly before leaning towards her best friend and slapped him upside the head.

"Ow! San, what was that for?!" Stiles yelled, turning to look at his best friend.

"Stop doubting yourself. Even if we had lost it wouldn't have been on and we definitely wouldn't have blamed you" Santana sternly said.

The new directions nodded in agreement with their friend.

"She's right, Stiles. And besides, even if we had lost at least we still had fun" Quinn added.

"And we still had the pleasure to hear your song in action. And believe me when I say that it was worth it" Mercedes smiled.

Stiles opened his mouth to say something, definitely to protest as he still believed that if they had lost it would've been his fault.

When someone else slapped him upside the head.

And it was none other than Kurt Hummel.

"S, I swear to god if you say anything bad about yourself or even try and blame yourself I will do more than slap your head" Kurt warned him.

Stiles glared at him but Kurt didn't back down, raising a challenging eyebrow at him.

Stiles grumbled under his breath and simply turned his attention back onto the screen.

Kurt grinned and nodded before doing the same, not before leaning into Blaine's side.

The new directions smiled and thanked Kurt before turning their attention back onto the screen as well.

"The New Directions! You're going to Nationals in New York!" Carla yelled.

The new directions sprung up and down cheering and hugging each other while a man had come over and handed over their trophy.

Everyone in the theater immediately erupted into cheers and claps.

They already knew that the new directions had won but it was just so satisfying to hear and see it with their own ears and eyes.

"Yes! Go new directions!" Isaac and Liam yelled, grins plastered on their faces.

"Awesome job, guys!" Malia and Kira yelled in unison, smiles plastered on their faces.

The two girls looked at each other when they realized they yelled the same thing at the same time.

They smiled faintly at each other before looking away, not wanting the other to see the blush growing on their cheeks.

Stiles let out a breathless laugh of relief and happiness and he turned to Santana and hugged her tightly, picking her up and spinning her around a bit.

Santana just smiled at her best friends excitement before hugging him back while laughing.

As Stiles put Santana down he turned around just in time to see Sue, who had been coaching Aural Intensity, march over to the Carla and sent a punch to her face which sent the woman flying to the ground.

And just like that the mood died down for everyone as the cheering and clapping abruptly stopped.

Nothing but utter shock and confusion coursed through their bodies as their eyes widened and jaws dropped.

Hell, even Scott, Theo and Derek were shocked by what just happened.

Well, there was only one person that wasn't shocked.

And that was Coach Finnstock.

And he was the only one that had burst into laughter and was struggling to keep himself from falling to the ground.

"What the hell?!" Sebastian yelled.

He whipped his head to look at the woman and soon everyone else followed his lead.

Sue said nothing and she simply grinned at everyone, her arms crossed over her chest, and winked before looking away.

Nobody really knew what to say and they didn't know if it was worth asking when it's clear that Sue wasn't going to answer their questions.

So they all just settled down and refocused their attention back onto the screen.

Sue walked offstage leaving everyone in shock at what she had done, nobody really knowing what to say or do.

The screen turns black before turning back on. The scene changes to the next day at McKinley highschool and the camera pans into the choir room.

Everyone is seen sitting in their own seats and the camera pans over to Stiles who was writing in his journal.

"Writing about the win or writing a new song?" Sebastian asked with a grin.

"That's for me to know and you to find out" Stiles replied with a grin.

Sebastian huffed at that to which Stiles laughed and shook his head before leaning in to kiss his boyfriend on the cheek.

The camera pans over to Mr. Schue who is walking into the room and on the phone.

"I'll show you the video when you get home. Have fun in the sweat lodge. Namaste to you, too" Mr. Schue smiled.

Everyone looked at him weirdly with Santana and Stiles sharing a glance.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at the looks from the new directions, Mr. Schue included.

Meanwhile, Ms. Pillsbury grumbled softly under her breath at seeing and hearing her fiance speaking to his former girlfriend.

Mr. Schue hangs up and puts his stuff down before turning to his students.

"Ms. Holliday sends her best, and can't wait to congratulate you all in person when she gets back from her meditation retreat" Mr. Schue told everyone.

Everyone smiled at that as Stiles began putting his journal into his bag.

"Now, we all know that winning Regionals was a team effort, and Nationals isn't going to be any different. But like in sports, every winning team has a player that rises above to help carry their teammates to victory. The MVP" Mr. Schue explained.

Everyone smiled at that and nodded in agreement.

"Never thought I would agree with vest man" Malia muttered to Lydia.

Lydia laughed quietly but nodded her head in agreement.

Mr. Schue turned around to grab a small trophy in the shape of a star that he had brought with him before turning back to his students.

"And I would like to start a tradition of honoring that player after every one of our competitions. So, per a unanimous vote by all of you, our Regionals MVP is..." Mr. Schue trailed off.

A grin appeared on the man's face and he turned to Stiles.

"Mr. Stiles Stilinski" Mr. Schue revealed.

Stiles's eyes widened at that while everyone else grinned at him and erupted into cheers and claps.

Everyone immediately erupted into cheers and claps the same way the new directions onscreen did.

"Awesome job, friend" Rory smiled, patting his friend on the shoulder.

Sugar and Joe smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Go Stiles!" Kurt and Blaine cheered, smiles plastered on their faces.

"That's my boy!" Burt yelled, a grin plastered on his face as he leaned over to pat Stiles on the back.

Stiles just laughed and smiled at everyone, telling them thank you.

And he let a smile appear on his face, humming in content when Sebastian pulled him into another kiss.

"Come on up" Mr. Schue told him with a smile.

Stiles hesitated but eventually got up when Santana practically shoved him forward, causing him to glare at the girl but all she did was smirk at him.

"You're welcome, by the way" Santana grinned.

"I didn't say thank you" Stiles reminded her, crossing his arms over his chest.

Santana just grinned more while leaning into Brittany's side while Stiles just sighed.

"Congratulations" Mr. Schue smiled as Stiles walked over to him.

He pulled him into a hug to which Stiles laughed before hugging him back. They pulled away and Stiles got the trophy handed to him.

"Uh...is it ok if I say a few words?" Stiles asked.

"Of course" Mr. Schue nodded.

He walked over to sit down with the rest of his students, giving Stiles the opportunity to say what he wanted to say.

Everyone quickly quieted down as they were interested in what Stiles would say.

"Well, first I just want to congratulate you guys for the song you created. It was truly amazing" Stiles smiled.

The new directions all smiled at him and nodded.

"And I wanted to say thank you for voting for me as the MVP. I still can't believe it but here I am. I guess my song really did help us win which was a surprise yet a relief at the same time because I would've done nothing but blame myself if we had lost. Thankfully that wasn't the case and we're heading to nationals very soon" Stiles smiled.

"And we would've won had two people decided to keep it together and not suck each other's faces" Santana sarcastically smiled.

The new directions nodded and turned to glare at Rachel and Finn.

The engaged couple did nothing but blush bright, embarrassed and ashamed, and they looked anywhere but at their friends.

Everyone else looked confused but decided to wait, thinking that all would be explained soon.

"I'm still amazed at myself for being able to come up with a great song but I guess the only reason I was able to accomplish it is because my entire life I have experienced betrayal, pain and heartbreak. Especially back in my hometown. I won't get into details since I am not yet comfortable talking about what I went through but all I will say is that I lived a shitty and tiring life there. That's for sure" Stiles explained.

The new directions, along with Mr. Schue, couldn't help but frown in concern at his words.

Everyone, the ones that didn't know about his past, were in the same boat as the ones onscreen.

They were burning in curiosity, wondering just what Stiles had gone through in the past in his hometown.

They were willing to wait until he was ready to share with them what he had experienced.

But they were getting a little impatient and just hoped that Stiles would reveal a bit more information to them.

While the ones that did know about what he had gone through couldn't help but sigh in sadness and sympathy.

"But being here with you guys has helped me alot. Not only did I get to reunite with Kurt, my childhood best friend, but being here made me meet all of you and joining this team is what helped me gain more friends. Real friends that I know will stand by me no matter what the same way I will" Stiles smiled.

Tears started building up in his eyes as he spoke but he didn't let them fall.

Instead, he just continued smiling at his friends.

"So, thank you for choosing me as your MVP. And lets promise to continue working hard so that we can win nationals" Stiles finished, a smile on his face.

At the end of his speech everyone, just like the new directions onscreen, couldn't help but smile.

Melissa, Chris, Peter, Burt and Carole were proud of their boy. They knew that Noah would've been the same.

"MVP!" Artie yelled, a grin plastered on his face.

This made Stiles laugh and before he knew it everyone erupted into cheers and claps before getting up and rushing towards him.

Santana was the first one to reach him and she wrapped her arms around his waist to which he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her.

The two best friends smiled at themselves onscreen before turning to each other and embraced each other in a hug.

Sebastian just let a small smile appear on his face as he stared at the two best friends.

Everyone else soon approached and were now bombarding Stiles with hugs and he laughed and hugged every single one of them back, a smile plastered on his face.

The scene changes out in the hallway and the camera pans over to Stiles. He was at his locker and as he opened it he began stuffing some books inside, the ones that he didn't need.

Just before he could close his locker and head to his next class he stopped when something caught his attention.

A picture that was taped on his locker.

A picture of him and his dad when he was nine.

Stiles couldn't help but smile softly at the picture of him and his dad. A picture he still had in his locker.

Almost immediately Finn, Kurt and Santana were scooting closer to their friend.

They knew that when it came to his dad it was a sensitive topic and they were ready to comfort him if needed.

Burt couldn't help but smile softly at the picture, he remembered that day.

That was the day he and Kurt were hanging out with Noah and Stiles

He remembers Stiles dragging his father to play lacrosse with him and, despite how tired Noah was, he obliged and the two of them played for a few hours.

Burt and Kurt were watching them and occasionally cheering them on as loudly as they could, considering they were the only ones at the park.

After they were done playing Noah asked for Burt to take a picture of him and Stiles to capture the moment.

And Burt obliged without hesitation.

He made sure to make a few copies of that picture since he too wanted to remember the moment.

Stiles did too.

He remembers Stiles asking him for a copy of the picture when he was settling into his new home.

He knew the boy wanted to have as many pictures of him and his father.

Stiles looked at the picture softly before lifting the trophy that was in his hands.

"Do you see this dad? It's mine, it's something I earned after my friends voted for me as their MVP" Stiles smiled.

A sigh escaped his lips as he continued talking.

"I hope you were watching me sing, dad. I wrote that song to not only express everything I had been through but to show that I'm not going to let it consume me or bring me down. And I hope you know that it was also for you. After all, the song was for the person I love the most. Obviously, it would be for you" Stiles softly said.

Stiles bit the inside of his cheek and looked down at his lap, not wanting anyone to see the tears building up in his eyes.

He could feel his three friends hugging him and he appreciated it. He really did.

But he still felt like breaking down but he was doing his best to keep it together.

It was just so hard when he missed his dad so much.

"I miss you, dad. I always will. I just hope you're getting your well deserved rest and I hope you're looking out for me" Stiles softly said.

 He wasn't aware he was crying until he felt a few tears stream down his cheeks.

"I love you, dad" Stiles finished, a small smile on his face.

Stiles felt his tears escaping his eyes and he quickly buried his head into Santana's shoulder, silently crying into it.

Santana frowned softly and wrapped her arms around her best friend, leaning down to kiss his forehead.

Finn and Kurt rubbed Stiles's back as they watched him silently break down in the arms of their latina friend in sadness.

As did the ones that knew why Stiles was so emotional.

While the ones that were still very much oblivious were confused and concerned, wondering what was going on with their friend.

Stiles leaned in to place a small kiss to the picture before closing his locker.

He turned around and began walking down the hallway, making sure to wipe his tears as he did so, wanting to make it to his next class.

As the screen turned black, indicating that the episode was over, Stiles slowly pulled away from Santana's arms.

He sniffled a little and wiped his tears away from his face before turning to his three friends.

"Thanks, guys" Stiles softly said.

"Of course" Finn nodded.

"You know we're always here for you, Sti" Santana said with a small smile.

"Always" Kurt nodded, wrapping his arms around his best friend.

Stiles said nothing and simply let out a sigh of content as he melted into his best friends arms, feeling Finn and Santana place their hands on his shoulders.

He was lucky to have them by his side no matter what.
