IC; musical discussion and double date with Kurt, Blaine, and Emily

[burgercraving]

[there are drinks lined up over the bar, but they're all virgin, for the sake of remaining sober during this discussion. Santana is rested up on the end furthest away from Emily with her eyes on Kurt, as she's looking at him with an indication of "get on with it." even though they've only been set up for two minutes, she's already growing impatient. like most times of the day, it's not difficult to find themselves alone in the bar, either. so it goes]

Which is exactly why we should take advantage of things and push our limits. Grease gets put on at high schools, and they can manage it, can't they? Contrary to what all your virginal minds believe, you can manage sensuality without someone sprouting a few whiskers.

Though we might want to make sure it's separate from the bloody showers. Too much imagery related to that time of the month, and it'll just make your audience cranky.

[straightens up, because this subject has come up already and he wants to put an end to it]

The goal isn't to titillate the audience, but to put on a show with recognizable camp elements. We're not doing "Camp: the SEXY version", but "Camp: the theatrical version".

Of course, there will be romance and yes, passion. It's only to be expected when love blossoms in extreme situations. However, it should go without saying that no one's going to turn into an animal onstage. That's just tasteless.

[rubbing Kurt's arm and trying to get him to relax back into the chair]

I have to agree with Kurt on this one. Just because we could do something really sexual doesn't mean we need to. I mean come on, we can keep people's attention without such an obvious gimmick, right?

Right. I mean, as shocking as you may find it, I don't actually think there's anything wrong with sensuality in general. I just think... there's a time and a place and a right way to go about it, you know? It doesn't need to go overboard if you know how to use a small amount to the most effect.

[burgercraving]

[there's a beat of hesitation before she leans in toward Emily and hovers over her ear]

And when would that be? Because I'm starting to think everyone here is missing my point?

[and softer, closer to the other girl]

Especially you.

[thegreateststar]

[moves his hand backl as if to keep Blaine away, but instead catches his hand and laces their fingers together in Blaine's lap. however his back is still turned on Blaine, facing Santana]

Okay, we will put this to rest much quicker if you say what you have in mind and I tell you whether that's suitable or too much.

[youngburtreynolds]

[rubs Kurt's back lightly with the nails on his free hand. decides to stay quiet, not wanting to add to the potential argument]

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

[give her a second to respond here alksjfnasf]

...yes. Maybe stating things clearly would help.

[burgercraving]

I think half the reality of this place is getting half-way there and not being able to finish. A fixture of society is sex, and it's the same here, no matter what any of you believe.

[curls into Emily and brushes her hair off her shoulder to dip down against her neck]

And you can play with it in little ways ...

[inhales against her neck and kisses the skin lightly down toward her collarbone, with her hand resting against her abdomen beneath her breasts and then sliding down a little]

Without giving them too much of a show. Right, Emily?

[pulls back fully with the question and looks directly at the boys]

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

[stands up as soon as Santana pulls away!] I, um...

[takes a couple of steps away from the couch and looks between Kurt and Blaine and definitely not at Santana] Where's the bathroom?

[burgercraving]

That's a good question, actually.

[stands]

[youngburtreynolds]

[omg so awkward. looks to Emily]

It's downstairs to the right.

Santana...

[looking from Santana to Kurt, sensing the tension level]

[thegreateststar]

[doesn't move, but grits his teeth and speaks firmly]

Stay here, Santana.

[burgercraving]

... Right, I'll wait until she gets back. I wouldn't want to be left alone with her.

[thegreateststar]

[stands up and moves around Santana, stopping in the way to the stairs]

Are you going to tell me what you just tried to do here? And don't say kissing down her neck because I could see that.

[burgercraving]

I was getting close to my date for the night. Wasn't that what you wanted?

[thegreateststar]

No, I don't recall asking you to demonstrate sensuality on Emily at any point of the day, actually.

What I do recall is advising you to let her call the shots for once. So, what was that just now all about? Is that how badly you don't want to be here?

[burgercraving]

I don't remember agreeing to listen to Dr. Hummel's love advice for the evening.

[thegreateststar]

My heart bleeds for you.

[burgercraving]

What do you want, Kurt? Maybe it turns out that Emily and I aren't meant to be like you wanted. Now we know, I don't get kicked out of the musical, and life moves on.

[thegreateststar]

[narrows eyes]

You don't really think you get to humiliate Emily in front of Blaine and me, and still be part of the musical like nothing happened, do you.

[burgercraving]

... We are not doing this again. I'm leaving.

[thegreateststar]

[walks down the stairs and opens the door to the cabin]

You know my number; text me when you get some sense.

[ladycoderring.livejournal.com]

[yeah, hi, guess who's heard pretty much this whole thing]

Stop. Both of you. That is enough.

Kurt, you're not kicking Santana out of here or the musical over something stupid like this. She wants to be in it, and you want her in it too. If you have some other problem, you can work it out between yourselves, but let's get something straight. Me? Not humiliated. I needed a little air, but I'm a big girl, and I can take care of myself. So if she goes now, I go too, okay?

Santana, you and I can talk later. So for now, how about we all go back to our seats and finish the movie. It will be fun.

[thegreateststar]

[raises his eyebrows and squares his shoulders, then, slowly, lets out a breath and closes the door before turning to Santana, clearly waiting to see her reaction]
