It Beats For You, So Listen Close

Description

Kurt shifted the strap of his Burberry fashion bag on his shoulder and released a sigh into the air of a New York night. He didn't realize that his fashion dominant schedule would consist of mostly night classes with projects that would have the tenancy of running even later into the evening; so, he would have to get used to walking the several blocks from his class building to his and Rachel's apartment alone in the dark.

He reached down into his bag to reach for his iPod resting in one of the side pockets. He searched even further into the bottom of his bag to find his Sherbet Colorblock headphones Blaine ever so wonderfully gifted him with before he left for school. He wasn't usually one for something so obnoxiously colorful; however, it's flamboyancy reminded him so much of Blaine's hyperactive and animated personality that he couldn't help but smile every time he looked at them.

He slipped the headphones over his ears, the band resting behind his head as to not mess up his perfectly styled hair. Plugging the cord into his iPod, he grazed through his numerous playlists; he was considering either his A Solemn Night That Feels Like The Sad Ballad of A Broadway Musical or his It's A Lonely Night lists. It just felt like that kind of night; he expected it would be until he got home and was able to call up Blaine on his cell he so stupidly forgot to pack before he left. He probably had several missed calls from his father about his first day and several more about whether or not he'd already been jumped in the city streets.

Maybe he should consider getting a walking buddy soon.
Before finalizing one of his list choices, a new title caught his eye.
When You Feel Low

He didn't remember adding this list of songs to his iPod; there was no doubt in his mind that Blaine must have slipped it from his desk drawer and transferred some songs over.

With a smile he selected the playlist and slipped the iPod into his pocket, not ever bothering to scroll through the song selections. He wanted to be surprised.

A familiar intro began and Kurt smiled widely and practically squealed in glee, his fingertips hiding the whites of his teeth as a few passer-byes strolled by. It didn't take long for him to realize that the voices of Adam Levine and Gym Class Heroes were replaced by Blaine's own vocals along with his fellow Warblers in the background.

His eyes couldn't help but swell up with tears at the sound of his boy's voice. Kurt paused from walking and closed his eyes a moment. He took a deep breath and fell into his boyfriend's voice, sliding his fingers along one of the headphone cushions.

In the middle of New York City; in the middle of the night; underneath the streetlights and the neon glows of club and show signs; alone on a quiet, still street, it almost felt that Blaine was there with his arm wrapped around him and singing sweet lyrics into his ear.

As soon as he gets home, and right after getting off the phone with his boyfriend, he definitely had to count down the days until fall break and hope that time was willing to speed up for him.

My heart's a stereo
It beats for you, so listen close
Hear my thoughts in every note
Make me your radio
And turn me up when you feel low
This melody was meant for you
Just sing along to my stereo

NOTE: Thinking of making this into a drabble/fic series where I draw a pic/write a drabble for each song on the playlist. I need song ideas that seem appropriate for Blaine to include on this list for Kurt. Any suggestions, PLEASE put them in the comments! :D
