A/N Hey everyone! Just want to set up the story for you. This is an AU fic. In my world, Kurt and Blaine did not meet in high school. They met their freshman year in New York. They are both attending NYADA, and become friends.

This story is loosely based on my relationship (if that's what you want to call it) with my first love. Now, my story ended very differently, but all the main elements that occured were from my experience. That being said, I'm a sucker for a happy ending, even through all the angst.

This first part is just an intro, and the actual idea that set up the entire story. I hope you enjoy, and please feel free to let me know if it's worth continuing.

Prologue

It's Been a Long Time Coming

Kurt walked out on the stage slowly, a sad but determined look on his face. He whispered to the pianist and made his way up to the mic. The band was taking a break, and Kurt knew this was his moment.

He'd been psyching himself up for the moment for months now. Who was he kidding, it had been years. How could he have let things get so bad? Oh, that's right, it was Blaine. It had always been Blaine.

Kurt couldn't take it anymore. The pining, the waiting, the hurting, the tears. But that all ended tonight. He had waited for the band to take five, because he wanted to make sure Blaine was there, in the audience, watching. Blaine was a creature of habit, so once on break, he would visit the bathroom then the bar.

Kurt waited until he saw Blaine head for the bar before taking the stage. He had never been so scared in all his life, but he also knew that he needed to do this for his own sanity.

Then Kurt began to sing.
