A/N: Hey guys! This is my first fic, so I hope you all enjoy it. I would love all the feedback you could give me, so I can only get better at this.
Enjoy the story!
Kurt wasn't new to Broadway. In fact, the only reason he was so nervous, was because this was going to be his first time on stage after he won his Tony for Best Lead Actor in a Musical, when he played the titular role in Peter Pan.
Kurt had to remind himself over and over again, that he didn't need to feel pressure to win another Tony. He could just be himself, after all thats what got him to Broadway in the first place. He was just cast in the revival of Singin' In The Rain. He was to play Cosmo Brown and Kurt had every intention of giving the best performance of "Make 'Em Laugh" the theatre world had ever seen.
Kurt was so lost in thought, that he jumped when he felt his phone buzz. He quickly glanced down at his phone to see Sebastian's name pop up with a text. As Kurt was opening the text, he heard his name get called by the director, Artie Abrams, telling Kurt they were about to start. Kurt read the text from Sebastian real quick.
S: Update, Leo is doing just fine. He talked me into getting him ice cream.
Kurt justed smiled at his phone, knowing Leo can be extremely persuasive when he wanted something. Leo was the only thing that kept Kurt going most days and it was thanks to Leo that Kurt finally went back to Broadway.
...
It was just turning 4:30, when Kurt walked throught the front door of his apartment. He was about to yell that he was home, when Sebastian walked up. He shushed Kurt and pointed towards the living room where Kurt could see Leo sleeping on the couch.
"He hasnt woke up from he afternoon nap just yet." Sebastian said as he pulled Kurt in for a hug.
Kurt hugged him back. "I can't thank you enough for watching him today for me."
"You know I don't mind. He is a great kid."
Kurt smiled at that. "So, what did you two boys do today?"
Sbastian shook his head, "Oh no, we are going to talk about how your big return to the big stage was."
"It was great, Bas. I forgot how exhilarating it is to be onstage."
"I'm glad Leo could talk you to going back." Sebastian said as he saw the sparkle in his best friends eyes.
"He is very persuasive for a six year old." They both laughed at the statement, but both also knew how true it was.
"Uncle Kurt!" a voice from inside the living room said excitedly.
Kurt went to join Leo in the living room. "Hey buddy! Did you have fun with Bas today?"
"We had so much fun, Uncle Kurt."
"How about we all go out and get some pizza for dinner?" Kurt said that last part and he tackled Leo on the couch and started tickling him.
...
The next day, Kurt had ten interviews set up from an ad for a full-time babysitter he put up yesterday, upon Sebastians request. Kurts best friend brought up that although he loved spending time with Leo, he had work of his own to do. Sebastian was a home decorator and had put off all his clients for a week to take care of Leo, while Kurt got adjusted to being back on Broadway.
Kurt had Leo with him, becaue he wanted to see how they interated with Leo and to see if Leo liked them. The first three interviews went well enough, though tey showed no interest in interacting with Leo. Everyone else played with Leo, but to Kurts knowing Leo didn't realloy like any of them.
Kurt was about to call it a day after the final interview when someone knocked on his door. He went to open the door and on the other side was a short young man with curly black hair and a pink bowtie that matched perfectly with his outfit.
"Hi, Mr. Hummel," the young man started, "My name is Blaine Anderson and I am here about the ad you put up."
...
Blaine saw the ad for a full-time babysitting job yesterday. When he went to call about it though, the man on the phone already said he had a number of interviews set up and if none of them panned out, he would give Blaine a call back.
"Don't wait for him to call you back," Nick began, "Just go there yourself tomorrow and show him that you are the right guy for the job."
Blaine began to wonder if Nick had a point. After all, he had been looking for a job/interenship that involved kids since the summer started. Blaine was majoring in Early Childhood Education at NYU. It was his second year and he really needed experience working with young children if he ever hoped to get a teaching job soom day.
"You're right Nick. I'm going to go over there tomorrow and make him hire me." Blaine stated with confidence.
The rest of the day, Blaine was assembling the perfect outfit and with the help of Nick, Blaine had the outfit done with a matching bowtie to bring the outfit all together.
...
The next afternoon, Blaine was on the subway heading to SoHo. He spent last night going over what he would say at the interview to get Mr. Hummel to give him the job. If he was being honest, he would just so excited to meet the Kurt Hummel in person. Blaine was a huge fan of his work. He saw Kurt in Peter Pan three times and watched as he won his Tony. Working for such a talented, incredible man would be the opportunity of a lifetime.
He had finally made it to Kurt's apartment buliding as he saw a woman leave looking sad. Blaine hurried through the open door and took the elevator to Kurts floor. As the elevator dinged, indicating it had reached the floor, Blaine was getting nervous. What if he hates me, Blaine thought to himself, or what if he already found a babysitter. In the end, he heard Nicks voice telling him that if he doesn't take chances, he'll get nowhere in life. So, as the doors opened on the elevator, Blaine straightened up and confidently walked up to Kurts door. Blaine knocked.
...
Kurt thought it couldn't hurt to interview this guy. After all, he had come all this way. He was headed back to the living room with a bottle of water when he stopped in the hallway and saw Blaine getting Leo to laugh.
"What's your name?" Blaine asked Leo.
"Leo." he said shyly. " What's yours?"
"My name is Blaine Anderson. You like PAW Patrol?" Blaine asked as he watched Leo playing with his toys.
"I love it!" Leo said excitedly, "My favorite character is Rocky." Showing Blaine the green eco-friendly dog.
Blaine picked up Rubble and started playing with Leo, eventually making Leo laugh as he tried to sound like the dog.
"He seems to like you." Kurt said as he walked back in the room, handing Blaine the bottle of water.
"He is a great kid, Mr. Hummel."
"Please call me Kurt," Kurt began, "Let me ask you a couple of question."
By the end of the interview Kurt had heard enough and seen how Blaine and Leo interacted with each other to hire Blaine.
"Be here at seven tomorrow morning and we will go over Leo's morning routine."
"Yes sir. Thank you again for this opportunity." Blaine said.
Leo came running up to Blaine and handed him a dog, "Take Rubble with you. He likes you a lot."
"I'll take good care of him Leo." Blaine said as he bent down and gave Leo a hug.
