Santana and Kurt sat on an old couch watching "The Golden Girls" waiting for Rachel to get out of the shower and dressed to go out. Kurt looked at his watch every 10 seconds to see that the time had not changed since the last time he checked. "Rachel..." he began to yell towards the bathroom before hearing the door creek open.
"Still on this Kurt?" Rachel asked sarcastically while exiting the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her slender body and one drying her hair.
"Yes. Now hurry up." Kurt responded as Rachel headed to her curtained off corner of the loft. Several minutes later Rachel emerged from her 'bedroom' ready to go into Manhattan for the night.
Already in Manhattan was a student currently enrolled at NYU. He walked into a bar that was blaring good music and seemed like a lot of fun. He had his hair gelled back to perfection and was dressed in red capri pants, a white polo shirt, and red bow-tie tied around his neck. He sat down at the end of the bar and ordered himself a beer for the time being.
He slowly looked at every sign and every person that was in the bar until he saw a sign that said "Open Mic Night: TONIGHT." His eyes lit up hoping to get the chance to sing.
The first night alone in New York City could be very frightening and this kid thought that is was. After playing it safe by staying home for a few years after high school he decided it was time to be adventurous and chase his New York dreams.
An hour or so had passed and Santana, Kurt and Rachel walked into the same bar as the NYU student. They held on to each other while making their way to the same end of the bar. Kurt sat down next to the student and accidently kicked him, "Oh, I'm sorry. It's really crowded in here."
"It's okay." The student said.
"Kurt Hummel." Kurt said holding out his hand.
"Blaine Anderson." The student replied shaking Kurt's hand. Santana and Rachel gave each other a quick glance before returning to stare at Kurt and Blaine.
Kurt could feel butterflies creep into his stomach as he sat next to Blaine and the longer he sat there the more butterflies creeped in. "So do you go to school here?" Blaine asked timidly.
"Yeah, NYADA senior year!" Kurt laughed. "You?"
Blaine took a quick sip of his beer, "Transferred to NYU this semester." Blaine explained looking up from his drink and directly into Kurt's eyes. They were blue and amazing. Blaine's heart began to beat faster and faster as time went on. He had only known Kurt for a few minutes but he thought he was getting a little crush on this man. "So it's open mic. Are you a singer?" Blaine asked Kurt.
Kurt quickly swallowed what he had in his mouth and replied, "Yes, don't know what I'm going to sing yet though. How about you, NYU? Do you sing?" Kurt asked Blaine.
"Uhh, yeah. I guess so. I haven't really performed since high school, but I could give it a go." Blaine replied reluctantly. Blaine was one of the best vocalists that his high school, Dalton Academy in Westerville, Ohio, have ever had. "I'm thinking to go back in time with some old Katy Perry?"
Kurt smiled. "This I've to be around for." He laughed. Kurt and Blaine didn't speak for several minutes. Santana and Rachel had moved to a table out on the floor leaving to two boys alone to talk and leave Kurt to flirt some more. Every once in a while Kurt would look over to his friends sitting at the table and give a look asking what should I say? The girls just waved their hands telling him to go on and not to be nervous.
"Who do you keep looking at?" Blaine finally asked after 15 awkward minutes.
Kurt was caught off guard by Blaine's voice "Oh...um...my friends; Rachel and Santana." Kurt said pointing to his friends sitting at the table. Blaine waved hello and the girls waved back. After Blaine turned back to face the bar both, Rachel and Santana, gave Kurt two thumbs up of approval. Kurt smiled and turned back around to talk to Blaine. "So where are you from?" Kurt asked.
"Westerville, Ohio. You?"
"Lima, Ohio." Kurt laughed. "To think we were only a short drive away from each other and we met in New York City. It's weird how the world works sometimes."
Blaine held his bottle up in agreement. "Decide on a song yet, NYADA?" Blaine asked while he sipped his beer and nibbled on the peanuts sitting on the bar.
Kurt though for a second then had the perfect song idea. "Yup, if you're going old Katy; I'm going old Gaga." Kurt stated proudly. The boys sat in a comfortable silence for another 20 minutes. "Okay, Blaine, it's your time to shine. Get up there before I drag you there." Kurt said spinning around now facing the stage.
Blaine slowly got up from his bar stool and managed to get to the stage and grab the microphone. "Um, I'm Blaine and I'm going to bring back 2010 Katy Perry." Blaine said into the microphone just before the music started. After the music intro Blaine began to sing with his eyes glued on Kurt the entire time.
You think I'm pretty without any make-up on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I let my walls come down, down
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets just love
We can dance until we die
You and I can young forever
Blaine began to dance around on the stage. Kurt was certain Blaine was looking at him and maybe, just maybe, Blaine was singing to him.
You make me feel
Like I'm living a
Teenage dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's run away and
Don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
The way Blaine was staring in Kurt's direction made the butterflies start to flutter faster and faster.
I'm a get you heart racing
In my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
The music came to a close and Blaine put the microphone back on the stand and stepped off the stage. Kurt was on his feet cheering and clapping for his new friend. Blaine made his way back to sit next to Kurt. "Wow! You are amazing." Kurt cheered as Blaine got back to his seat.
"Okay, your turn Kurt. Get up there. Gaga!" Blaine yelled from his seat.
Kurt got up confident in his ability and walked up to the stage. "My name is Kurt and since Blaine took us back with old Katy; I'm gonna bring back Gaga." The music began to play and Kurt grabbed the mic off the stand and just went for it.
Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah
Roma, roma, ma
Gaga, ooh la la la
Want your bad romance
I want your ugly, I want your disease
I want your everything as long as it's free
I want your love
Love, love, love, I want your love
While Kurt was singing Blaine could feel the words knowing that Kurt was singing to him. And with that thought Blaine couldn't help but smile. Kurt almost forgot the words as he stared at Blaine. That smile.
I want your love, and I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your love, and all your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
Blaine got up and began to dance by himself while Kurt kept singing. Kurt wanted to go down and dance with Blaine but kept up with the music.
Rah, rah, ah, ah, ah
Roma, roma, ma
Gaga, ooh la la la
Want your bad romance
The song came to an end and Kurt gave a quick bow put the microphone back and headed back to Blaine, but not before stopping at the table where Rachel and Santana were sitting. "You were amazing!" Exclaimed Rachel.
"You were pretty good." Santana told Kurt.
"Okay, who is that guy over there?" Rachel asked pointing towards Blaine. All three of them looked over towards Blaine; who just waved in their direction not knowing what they were saying or why they were looking at him.
"His name is Blaine Anderson. He is a student at NYU and actually grew up in Westerville, Ohio." Kurt's heart rate sped up even telling his best friends about a man he has only known for two hours.
Both of the girls exclaimed before they pushed Kurt in Blaine's direction. Kurt looked back at his friends and they were telling him to make a move and just go for it. Before going back to their drinks.
Kurt walked over to Blaine and sat down the way he had before he went up to sing. "Wow! You are so good, Kurt Hummel."
Kurt could feel himself start to blush and tried so hard not to. At least it's dark and he really won't be able to see it Kurt thought to himself. "Thank you." Kurt said to Blaine.
They night seemed to pass faster than ever. Before they knew it was last call and they all had to leave. Kurt and Blaine got up and left together. While Rachel and Santana stayed behind making sure they didn't interrupt. "It was really nice meeting you Kurt." Blaine started as they walked down the street. "Do you need to get anywhere to catch a train or anything right away?" He asked.
"No, the next train doesn't leave for 45 minutes." Kurt explained. "And it was really great meeting you too."
Blaine wanted this conversation to continue for the rest of the night but knew they both had to get home. "It was a great first night in New York." Blaine let out while looking up at the buildings.
"Wait this was your first night here?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah. I've never been here before. I think I'm going to like it though. I mean if we can hang out again I know I will love it here." Blaine couldn't believe he just said that. After that Kurt will never...
"Of course." Kurt responded before Blaine could recover from what he had just said. "Tomorrow night Rachel, Santana, and I have movie night at our place do you want to come over and have dinner with us?" Kurt asked very timidly.
Blaine couldn't believe it; Kurt just asked him to come over to his house. Blaine's small crush was getting bigger as the night drew to a close. "Uh, yeah. Sounds great." Blaine replied.
"Great. Let me give you my number so you can call and get directions tomorrow." Kurt said grabbing Blaine's phone and putting his number in then texted himself so he had Blaine's. "I guess I will see you tomorrow." Kurt said.
"See you tomorrow." Blaine said then turned and walked away but without turning around and waving at Kurt before he disappeared.
Rachel and Santana ran up to Kurt. "Are you two going to see each other again?" Rachel asked.
Kurt walked away without saying anything to the girls."Hold up, Hummel." Kurt heard Santana yell from behind him. "Are you going to see him again? I saw you take his phone and put your number it in."
Kurt turned around and looked at his friends. "He's coming to movie night tomorrow?"
