Chapter 1:
"Broadway star Kurt Hummel, 24, has stared in one more breathtaking performance of 'The Phantom of the Opera'. As Raoul he absolutely won the crowd and with this amazing acting is in the list to be nominated for a Tony award. Fellow Broadway actress and a close friend of Hummel, Rachel Berry, 24 is o also running for a Tony award for her role as Maria in the West Side Story revival. And another actor nominated for an award of best upcoming actor is Blaine Anderson. Anderson has recently made his debut in the Broadway world as no other than a role many actors dream of: Maria's Tony in West Side Story."
"Kurt! Can you believe this! We are going to be on the red carpet! We have a shot of winning a freaking Tony! I can't remember the last time I was this excited!" Rachel was bouncing up and down gripping her friend's arm for dear life. "Can you believe it? We made it, Kurt! We made it out of Lima, we made it through college and here we are now, two famous Broadway stars, nominated for a Tony and hopefully Tony winners by the end of the night! Really, Kurt, you are my best friend. You are the best friend someone could wish for. I love you so much. Oh my god…I think I'm going to f-…"
"Rach!" Kurt interrupted laughing, "Breath! Yeah, it's exciting. Yes, I really wish we get this Tony. And, yes, Rachel, you are the best friend ever. Thank you for putting up with me all these years. Really, we've move into our own apartments six months ago, and I really miss having you as a roommate, you know? Even though I had to cope with your fashion disasters daily." Kurt grinned at her "But I love you anyway, Rach. Now come on, I've got to head back to the theather."
Kurt and Rachel were finally where they dreamed of being. The two had an amazing friendship, which dated back to middle school. Best-friends since they were 12, they went through many ups and downs during their friendship, but one thing remained, their loyalty to each other. They had so much in common, their love for musicals being the most prominent feature. And although Rachel hadn't been able to dress without clashing colors, her fashion taste had improved drastically. They had managed to get through high-school and moved out to New York together. They lived together for almost six years until they decided to move into their own flats, after reaching stardom. But although they had lived alone for almost six months, and with their tight schedules, they still managed to constantly meet up and their friendship was as strong as ever.
As they rounded a corner Rachel sighed.
"I can't believe the shows are coming to an end. It will be forever until the next season begins."
"Rach! It's only two months. We will be able to breath and enjoy life. You can actually spend time with Finn!"
"But what about you Kurt? I'm not going to leave you alone. You hardly ever go on dates. This is not Ohio, dear. This is freaking New York city! Go out, gave some fun."
"Rach, I've been on dates, but none of them are ideal. Ever since Chandler, I don't feel like dating. I'm afraid."
"Kurt, sweetie. You will never know if you don't go out. Chandler was a douche. Not everyone is like him. I know! My cast mate is gay, and super cute. How about I introduce you at the Tony Awards? As he is also on showbiz, he won't take advantage of you. And he is single."
"Rachel." Kurt growned. "How about, no. After Jeremy and Paul I don't trust your matchmaking skills."
"Come on, Kurt! They were cute! Plus, this one happens to be very talented for a newbie. He used to be a musician when he decided that he wanted Broadway instead."
"Aham…and who is he? Officer Krupke? A back ground actor to fill in the stage space?" Kurt asked sarcastically.
"No…he happens to be my co-star, and one of my new friends. The one and only Blaine Anderson who happens to be rising to stardom in the Broadway world! I've met him about four months ago, and he is one of my closest friends among the cast members. You know Cara? She was totally flirting with him, and he repeatedly rejected her. Until one day she asked him what the hell was his problem, because she knew he was single. So he calmly told her that while he was single, he was also very much gay. Then he turned to me and asked me if I was okay on playing a part opposite him, seeing as he was gay. I might have mentioned how my best-friend was gay as well…among other stuff."
"Oh god, Rachel. What else have you told him?"
Rachel was now openly grinning. "I might have also mentioned who said best friend is, and that said best friend is also currently single. And he might have expressed a desire to meet you."
"Rachel! You already have this all planned, right?" Rachel grinned and nodded. "And I think it's safe to say I have no say in this?" Rachel once again nodded.
"Nope. You, as my best friend, will have to meet part of West Side Story cast members at some point of the evening. Because you will have to say hi to me, and I will just happen to be with my fellow cast members. And as Blaine has the other lead role, and we are close friends, I might be by his side. So you will have no other choice then to meet him. I'm a genius!"
"Fine, Rachel. You win. I will endure one more of your attempts at matchmaking. Now, I believe we have rounded the corner to the theater, and you, have to go in the opposite direction. So, call me anytime, and if we don't get to see each other in the next month, I'll see you in the red carpet."
"See you, Kurt!"
As they parted ways in the street corner, Kurt to head back to the theater and Rachel to meet up with her boyfriend, Finn Hudson, quarterback for the New York Giants and step-brother of the one and only Kurt Hummel. Kurt thought back to where he was in high school, and what he had achieved. He was content and proud of himself. He had overcome the bullying, the homophobic fans, but he had a considerate and growing fandom and he couldn't be happier.
As he entered the theater he was immediately accosted by his coworkers Danny and Mila.
"So…what had put that dreamy smile on Kurt Hummel's face?" Danny asked with a sly grin. Danny and Kurt met each other on freshmen year at NYADA during freshmen orientation, as were friends ever since. Kurt merely shrugged and stuck his tongue out at his friend.
"Oh, come on Kurtie! Whose the luck guy?" Mila and Danny kept on pressing on for information. Mila was Danny three years long girlfriend, and had met Kurt through Danny. Danny and Kurt stared together in the show, and Mila was the main person in charge of costumes and make-up.
"What? There is no guy! I was just thinking back to how far I've come in life. Never in a hundred years would I imagine that I would be here today. And Rachel might have talked me into meeting another guy who she says will be perfect for me."
"Oh, do tell, Hummel! You know, if Jeff hadn't a boyfriend already, I'd say you two would be perfect for each other!" Danny said with a smile. Jeff had been Danny's roommate during their first years in New York and was now a well-known singer, as was his boyfriend, Nick. Unbeknownst to them, Jeff was also best friends since high school with Blaine Anderson.
"Now, Danny, you know I have no hots for Jeff. He is a cool guy, and we are friends, but we are certainly not crushing on one another."
"Yeah, plus he is already taken. He and Nick are together since high-school. I think they've been together seven-years already. I don't know. But you are avoiding the subject, Hummel."
"That's sweet, high-school sweethearts and all. Fine! For your information, Rachel is going to introduce me to her co-star, Blaine Anderson, during the Tony's and she says we will be a perfect match. As if her matchmaking skills were brilliant until now. Ever since the Chandler deal, she's been trying to set me up with friends and other actors. Not working."
"Kurt, honey, cheer up. You were twenty during the Chandler ordeal. It has been four years. Is time to give your heart a chance again isn't it? And this Blaine doesn't seem too bad. He is new Broadway sweetheart, yet no one knows anything about him, except that he is gay and was a musician before deciding on Broadway. He is quite famous, but isn't rubbing his fame on people's faces, unlike Jeremy. And I don't think he will do anything like Chandler." Mila tried to sooth him with other sweet nonsense.
"Fine! I already told Rachel I'd let her introduce me to him during the gala reception. Oh! And speaking of it, did you know that Jeff and Nick will be playing at the Tony's? Bumped into Nick earlier today and he told me."
"What?! Really? Cool!" And with that Kurt managed to change the subject and dwell further in his own thoughts.
