Background: Blaine and Rachel are pretty much the best of friends. They both moved to New York to fulfil their dreams of becoming famous. Blaine and Kurt's relationship sadly didn't work out and Finn is still in Ohio.
It's early evening and Blaine has just caught a cab to Rachel's apartment. He knocks on the door and a few seconds later Rachel answers with a huge smile on her face. She steps aside, letting him in. It's clear she's excited about something, he's known her long enough to tell.
He smiles widely at her, "What? What is it Rachel? Tell me."
She clearly can't hold it in any longer, " I got it! I got the lead in the end of year performance at college!", the excitement is clear in her voice.
He grins and gives her a big hug, spinning her around, "I knew it! I knew you would get it, that's so amazing Rachel! You deserve it!"
She giggles as she's spinned around, "I'm so excited! I mean, I knew I would get it, I am the best after all but it just feels so good now that I actually have."
"We have to celebrate! Grab your coat."
She grins and rushes to get her coat. See, this is why she loves Blaine so much. He's such a good friend and always makes her feel good. They make their way out of her apartment and Blaine hails a cab. It takes them to a popular bar down town which Blaine knows is Rachel's favorite. He pays for the cab and taking Rachel's hand he practically drags her inside. They move to the bar and Blaine asks, "What can I get you superstar?"
She smiles widely, "Hmmm, a red wine sounds good to me."
He nods, turning to the bartender, "A bottle of your finest red wine and champagne, please." Turning back to Rachel he says, "You can't have a celebration without champagne, right?"
Rachel shakes her head with a smile, "Blaine, you don't have to. It'll cost you a fortune!"
"You deserve it and hey, when you're a huge star you can pay me back anyway." He grabs the two bottles and two glasses after paying for them and they move to a table. Blaine pops open the bottle of champagne, pouring them both a glass. He raises his glass, "To you, leading lady." They clink their glasses together taking sips, "So, when do rehersals start?"
"They start next week. It's going to be hard work, but I'm sure I wouldn't have been chosen had they not thought I was capable enough to handle it."
"You took the words right out of my mouth. I hope I get a front row ticket to your first performance."
"Of course you do, you're my best friend! You, my dad's, Shelby and you can bring a date too if you want."
Blaine looks down a little bit, "Hmmm, well I don't know about that...since Kurt and I broke up things don't seem to be going so well for me in that department." It's a touchy subject for him and it was tough for him even to mention Kurt's name.
Rachel puts a hand on top of his. She knows that it was a hard breakup for him, "What happened to Johnathan? Didn't you have a date with him last week?"
Blaine nods, "Yeah, he made it pretty clear that he wasn't interested in me in that way. We're just friends."
Rachel frowns a little bit, "Well then he's an idiot and he doesn't deserve you! You'll find a guy who likes you for you Blaine it might just take some time. And hey, who wouldn't like you, you're amazing!"
He laughs, "Of course you would say that. You're my friend, you have to be nice to me," he nudges her playfully.
"Damn, you caught me," she laughs nudging him right back. As they had been talking they had managed to finish the whole bottle of champagne that was sitting on the table. This means that by now both of them are pretty drunk, or at least getting that way. The fact that they're both complete lightweights not helping the matter at all.
Blaine laughs again noticing the empty bottle, "I think we might be a little drunk..."
Rachel giggles in response and nods, "But not drunk enough!" She lifts up the bottle of wine, "Let's go back to my apartment and drink this one!" She stands up and staggers a little bit.
Blaine laughs as he reaches out to steady her, standing up as well. "Sounds like a good idea to me. Come on!" He grabs the bottle of wine off her heading for the door, Rachel rushing after him, "Hey you took my wine!"
"Your wine? Who payed for it?," Blaine asks.
"You but...but, I'm the superstar!", she pouts up at Blaine. He laughs and gives up handing her the bottle while he tries to hail a cab. He finally manages to hail one outside the bar which takes them to Rachel's apartment. Rachel talks in the cab the whole way there and Blaine just laughs as he watches her. "We can do some karaoke and sing together and dance. Ohhhh and we can eat ice cream and cookies and drink all this wine..."
What will happen next? Don't worry I know exactly what's going to happen and seeing as you all know what happens when Blaine and Rachel get drunk together I'm sure you have a fair idea! BUT if I don't see any comments you'll never find out ;-) Please, it would mean the world to me if you would read and comment.
