Ah, Valentine's Day. The day that couples love to celebrate and singles love to throw themselves out of the window for the overly and disgustingly romance in the air.
( And maybe because they're jealous and don't have anyone to celebrate with ).
The Glee club couples were in that mood. Rachel and Finn were sat together at the drum set, all over each other; Tina and Mike were kissing; Santana and Brittany were playing with each other's hands; and Nathalie and Quinn were hugging each other while the blonde placed kisses all over Nathalie's face, making the latter giggle.
And then there were Kurt, Momo and Bea sat by themselves at the piano, looking slightly disgusted ( Bea ), upset ( Kurt ), and jealous/frustrated ( Momo ).
"Okay, everybody, let's hear it for love!" Mr. Schue happily announced as he turned to the class after he had finished writing 'World's Greatest Love Songs' on the whiteboard, "your assignment for Valentine's week is to find and perform the world's greatest love songs," he assigned, making everyone smile cheerfully at their significant others and Bea groaned, "now, Regionals is next week, and we still need to raise $250 for costumes and hair spray."
"Oh, God, not another bake sale," Kurt groaned, slumping down in his seat.
"If any student gives ten dollars, we will sing these 'world's greatest love songs' to their Valentine." Mr. Schue explained, "we will serenade each classroom-"
"No!" Bea and Tina yelled in protest.
"Yes!" Rachel agreed.
"No," Nathalie shook her head in disapproval, "two years ago, we went room-to-room Christmas caroling, they threw food."
"And shoes," Quinn added with an earnest nod.
Upon seeing how upset almost everyone looked, Sugar raised her hand, and waved it, getting Mr. Schue's attention, who gave the permission for her to speak, "here's a spoonful of Sugar for you all: don't sweat the small stuff, and it's all small stuff when you're rich. So, here you go," she handed to the teacher the money that they desperately needed after pulling it from her purse.
"Uh, Sugar, I can't take that," Mr. Schue denied thankfully but truthfully wanted to take the money. And just with a little, but harsh, push from Kurt to take the money, the teacher finally gave in and everyone clapped in relief for not having to do any serenades.
"I love the sound of applause, even if I have to buy it," she looked at everyone with a sneaky smile on her face, "okay, everyone, look under your chairs. Except you, Artie. Your chair kept moving so I hid your surprise in the wastebasket."
Artie gave the girl a mix of confused and offended look and the rest looked under their chairs to find a heart-shaped box of chocolates. Nathalie happily squealed as she pulled them out and set them on her lap, before looking around and seeing that almost everyone had done the same thing.
Puck, however, had chocolate smeared all over his face and he was still stuffing the chocolates into his mouth. After they shared a look together, the boy shrugged off his shoulders and continued eating, "I found mine ten minutes ago."
Nathalie could only blink in disgust, "you're disgusting,"
"V-Day is my fave day ever. And to help me celebrate, my daddy's throwing me a huge, ridic party at Breadstix. And I'm naming it the Sugar Shack. And drumroll, Rachel..." Sugar looked over at Rachel, who played a drumroll adequately on the drum set, "you're all invited! But you have to bring a date. No single people allowed. They're sad and boring and they don't exist in my world."
And that only Bea could groan and drop her head to the piano.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
It was now lunch time and the group of five were sitting in a table with Artie, Puck, Kurt, Mike and Rory talking about who was taking who to Sugar's Valentine's Day party at Breadstix. Shoving in a mouthful of food, Puck grew cocky at the mention of who his dates were going to be.
"Wait, which one are you gonna take to Sugar's V-Day party?" Tina asked.
"All of them," Puck answered proudly, "the entire sorority. I got the gig cleaning the sorority house swimming pool, then I sawed through those chicks like a freakin' sex tornado. Room to room!"
Wide eyed, Rory smiled dreamingly at him, "you're amazing."
"Don't encourage him," Nathalie warned him and gave her bag of chips to Momo ( who was dreamingly looking at it ) and Bea agreed with her sister, "he's stupid."
"I'm a professional," Puck fought back, "I tried the true love thing..."
"With a teacher," Mike threw in, earning plenty of laughs from everyone besides Puck.
"It wasn't for me," Puck mumbled.
"So," Tina turned to Nathalie and Quinn and smiled, "Mike and I are obviously going together, as well as you two are going together-"
"Lame!" Puck exclaimed, cutting Tina off, "you always go with the same person."
Nathalie gave him a glare and rolled her eyes, "yeah. She's my girlfriend. Ever heard of that?" the girl fought back, making everyone chuckle.
He rolled his eyes as he ate some chips, "but if you change your mind, I can hook you up with some girls or boys."
Nathalie blinked at him emotionless and Quinn could only glare at him, almost preparing herself to launch at him for almost insinuating that her girlfriend would throw everything and their love for each other away for some sorority girl.
"I'm going to pretend that you didn't say that and I'm going to change the topic of conversation," Nathalie spoke, not before giving him a glare, and then turned her attention to Rory, "Sam told me that he's helping you get a date?" Rory nodded and smiled.
"I also need help," Artie jumped in, "I need help with Sugar."
Dropping Nathalie's bag of chips down, Momo confusedly looked between Artie and Rory, "I thought Rory's gonna go with Sugar."
"You two better have an option B because I'm all over that," Artie spoke defensively to Rory, "as soon as I ask her and she says yes, which I'm sure she will because— I don't mean this to sound mean, Irish— but nobody understands anything you say."
"Baloney. Chicks dig accents."
"I'm sorry, but sometimes I don't understand what you say," Bea threw in, only giving more reasons to Artie why Sugar was going to choose him and not Rory, "exactly, sounds like the accent doesn't really help."
"Fellas," Puck spoke loudly and rested his arms around the two boys, "there's no need to fight. You can just pick up the girls that fall of Puckasaurus here."
Bea rolled her eyes and could only rest her head on her sister's shoulder, "you truly are disgusting."
Digging into his pocket, Rory wasn't done with the fight. Holding up a four-leaf clover to everyone's confusion and shocker, he leaned in towards Artie for the final warning, "this is a four-leaf clover, kid. Cause you're gonna need all the luck you can get."
"Do you people just carry those around?" Kurt questioned, genuinely concerned and both Bea and Momo looked at the clover with interest
"Honestly? Can I have one?" Bea asked as she looked directly at the clover.
Taking the clover, Artie tossed it to Bea's direction, making both Bea and Momo fight for it while Artie glared into Rory's eyes.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
Nathalie was... confused, to say the least.
This morning, the girl talked with Quinn and the latter said that she had nothing to in the afternoon and they could have a little date at their favorite park while drinking a cup of coffee.
And now Nathalie found out that Quinn's part of the God Squad.
Finally finding her girlfriend by her locker, Nathalie fastened her speed and closed the locker, making Quinn jump in frightened, "God, Lie. Are you trying to give me a heart attack?"
"Sorry," Nathalie innocently smiled, "people always do that to me. I wanted to do it just once to know how it feels."
"Of course," Quinn smiled and pecked the girl's lips, "I need to tell you something though."
"That you are part of the God Squad?"
Quinn blinked in surprise, "I wanted to tell you. Who told you?"
"Sam," the girl shrugged, "but do tell the reason."
"I wanted to get in touch with Him."
Nathalie looked everywhere to see if anyone was listening to their conversation and got closer to her girlfriend so that only her could hear, "is this because we've sinned during our free period?"
"No!" Quinn could only laugh and wrap her arms around her girlfriend, slightly smirking, "but I loved it."
"I know you did," Nathalie smirked back and deeply kissed Quinn, "but why didn't you tell me you wanted to be part of it?"
"Because you don't believe in God," Quinn answered while looking up.
Nathalie sighed and rested her hand over Quinn's cheek, running her thumb up and down, "but that doesn't mean that I don't respect your beliefs. Because I do."
Quinn smiled and softened to the touch, "and I respect yours, babe."
"You didn't need to hide, okay?" Nathalie gestured between them, "we're honest about this."
"I know," Quinn softly spoke and pecked her girlfriend's lips, "now let's go and enjoy our date."
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
Momo, Tina and Bea were looking at how hard Artie and Rory were trying to get Sugar to go with one of them and Bea could only sigh, "god, they're so pathetic."
"Who's pathetic?" the trio heard as Quinn and Nathalie finally arrived the choir room, late because they wanted to drink some coffee. Following their eyes, the couple could only cringe at the way the two boys were downgrading themselves to get Sugar to go with them.
But yet again, this was top comedy for Nathalie to watch.
Mr. Schue walked into the choir room and gave a look towards Artie, "Artie, four wheels on the floor, please," he requested, making the boy sigh and obliged, wheeling himself into his usual spot.
"Rachel, you had an announcement?"
The girl nodded and Rachel and Finn stood up from their seats, making their way to the middle of the room for their announcement, "Finn and I are proud to announce that we're finally getting married."
A silence was settled on the choir room and Brittany was the only person clapping for them, but Santana was quick and made her girlfriend stop it.
"Wow!" Artie was in shock.
"When's the baby's due date?" Puck asked.
"Wait, guys, have you both carefully thought this through?" Mr. Schue asked in shock from the back of the room.
"Yes. And our parents are totally behind us," Rachel nodded with a sarcastic smile, "and your plan to stop us by telling them totally backfired, Mr. Schue."
"I really doubt that our dad agreed with this," Bea whispered to her sister and Nathalie agreed, fully knowing that Burt definitely had something up his sleeve.
"Actually, Nat, Bea and I are the ones who told them," Kurt confessed, "because we think you guys are making a mistake. A huge mistake."
"You guys aren't mature or old enough to properly face this type of commitment," Bea spoke criticizingly.
Clearing her throat loudly, Rachel ignored what the two siblings had spoken and looked to the rest of the class, mostly on the ones who believed on their relationship, "well, either way, the date is TBD, but I can assure all of you that we're gonna have a very simple and elegant ceremony at the Justice of Peace, which all of you are invited to. And we're registered at Samuel French. If you don't support us," Rachel made sure to glare at Bea and Kurt, "then I feel sorry for you, and you're not invited to the wedding. Which is really sad because I would've loved to see you in a bridesmaids dress, Quinn, or Bea or even Nathalie, and you too Kurt."
"No way in hell," both sisters mumbled to me as Bea analyzed her nails and Quinn gave an annoyance look to everything what Rachel had said to Nathalie, making the latter shrug and rest her head on the girl's shoulder.
Shooting her hand into the air, Tina smiled at the couple, "I'd be happy to be a bridesmaid, Rachel," the girl obliged, smiling brightly, making the rest of her group looked at her in shock, "I'm not sure I'm ready to get married, but I do know what being in love feels like," she kissed Mike lovingly and Bea made sure to do a gag sound.
"We'll be there," Mike confirmed after he ignored what Bea had done.
Artie wheeled forward and gave the couple a smile, "well, add me to the list of people who are wishing you guys the best in your marriage. However, let's stop fighting and remind ourselves that Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching. So if you'll excuse me," the boy gestured for Finn and Rachel to sit down, "if you'll excuse me."
After the couple sat down, Artie decided to sing Mario's Let Me Love You with Finn in the drums and the rest of the Glee club's boys, except for Rory and Sam, as backups, and dedicated this song to Sugar.
The girl was falling for his talk and Momo wondered what the girl really sees in him. Despite only being in the Glee club for less than two months, the girl had seen how misogynistic and rude Artie can be, and concluded that between those two, Rory was the better choice.
Walking to the front of the room, Sugar stared down Artie, "wheel me to class, baby," the girl spoke and jumped onto his lap, making Artie victoriously smiling at Rory, and the two riding off together on his wheelchair, as the rest of the glee club left towards their upcoming classes.
︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶ ︶
In the end, Rory ended up taking Sugar as his date to the Sugar Shack and Momo and Bea pretended to be a couple so that they could enter the party and have free drinks and food.
Everyone was dancing, singing, talking, eating ( mostly Momo ) and Nathalie couldn't be happy how everything turned out as she happily danced with Quinn.
But then it caught her eye how sad her brother was looking and she excused herself and walked towards him.
"Kurt?" she softly spoke as she sat down next to him, "what's wrong? When we left home you were happy. What changed?"
"I found out who's my secret admirer," Kurt let out a frustrated sigh, "spoiler alert, it's not Blaine."
"Then who is?"
"Karofsky."
"Pardon?" Nathalie shockingly asked but in a way she knew that Karofsky wasn't straight, since she knew the kiss that the boy gave to her brother, and the way that Karofsky would shamelessly look at Sam's butt.
"Yeah, he came here earlier, wearing this weird gorilla suit and confessed that he loves me for almost a year now."
"Wow," Nathalie let out a shocking sound and grabbed a glass of champagne, drinking it to continue the rest of the conversation, "and what did you say?"
"That I'm proud of him from coming to where he is now but that I'm happily dating Blaine."
"And then?"
"He ran out," the boy sighed guiltily, "he recognized a member of his team, he got scared. I tried to ran after him but he was so damn fast to catch up. What should I do now?"
"I can't tell you what you should do Kurt."
"Please," he pouted as trying to convince his sister, "you're like my life guru. Please help me."
"Fine," the girl chuckle and softly ran her hand on his brother's hair, "give him space and time. And, personally, tell Blaine about this. I've been in your spot before and I almost lost my relationship with Quinn because I didn't tell her about the love letter that Momo sent me."
"You're right," Kurt relievedly smiled and gave his sister a hug, "thank you. I'm so lucky to have you and Bea as my sisters."
"And we're lucky to have you as our brother."
"Okay, everyone, it's time for my extra-special guest, back from the dead, and cute and compact as ever!" Sugar announced, getting everyone stop what they were doing and following the direction of where Sugar pointed to, showing that it was Blaine using a heart-shaped eye patch.
"This song is dedicated to all the lovers in the room," he announce out, ripping the heart-shaped eyepatch off and everyone started dancing again, enjoying the rest of the night.

I had so many ideas for this last scene but then decided the best one would be Nathalie knowing all the tea about Kurt and Karofsky lmao
