Chapter 2:
One month later, the morning of the Tony Awards.
Kurt was lounging around in his apartment, as he often had done since the last showing of the season for The Phantom of the Opera. He had the rest of the morning and the afternoon to think about meeting Blaine. Did he want to? Since everyone he knew in showbiz had gushed about Blaine's perfect body, his dapper manners and amazing acting he decided that meeting him, might not be that bad. After all, it had been months since he'd been on a date, and he was, he admitted, feeling the need for something, or someone, else in his life.
Little did he know that a few blocks away from his flat, in the Sterling-Anderson apartment Blaine was having similar thoughts. He was excited about meeting his friend's best friend. After hearing her gush about Kurt every time they spoke, which happened to be every day, he felt more and more inclined to meet him. He knew Kurt was an awesome actor, having seen one of his performances. He was not stalking, he was just seeing if Kurt was really as beautiful and if his voice was really breathtaking as everyone said. What he saw had taken made him speechless. Kurt had the voice of an angel, and his complexion was marvelous. Even from the audience Blaine could see that he was beautiful. And he just couldn't wait for the night.
"So, Blaine…what are you so fidgety about?" Jeff asked his friend as he entered the living room where Blaine was currently pacing.
'Tonight. Rachel, my cast mate, said she would introduce me to a friend of hers, and she believes we shall be perfect together."
Jeff began to laugh at his friends answer. "Trust Blaine Anderson to be stressed about meeting a guy, and not about his very likely win."
"I don't know Jeff. He seems really cool, and Rachel really treasures his friendship. She won't shut up about his qualities and he has the voice of an angel and is absolutely beautiful. I've seen one of his performances, after Rachel told me which play he was starring in, and, wow. I really don't want to screw this up."
"Hey, who is this guy? He is an actor too?"
"Yeah…he is Rachel's best friend. He plays Raoul on the Phantom of the Opera. His name is Kurt."
'Wait…wait a minute! You mean, Kurt, Kurt Hummel?" Jeff asked wide-eyed.
"Yeah…the one and only!"
"Wow…dude, you two are going to be great together! Oh my god, I can't believe I've never thought of this before! He is like the perfect guy for you Blaine! I know you don't like the prospect of dating now that you are famous, but Kurt is like the most discreet person I know, after you. No one knows much about his life. He is gay, has been Broadway star for three years now, entered the Broadway world with his best-friend Rachel, and has a very tight and long lasting friendship with her. He doesn't date much, and ever since I've known him, I think he's been in some dates here and there, but no one lasted for longer than four dates. Had a problem with people using him for fame."
"Hang on, Jeff. You know Kurt? The Kurt Hummel? Rachel Berry's best friend. Currently playing Raoul on the Phantom's revival?"
"Yeah man…we've been friends since freshmen year in NYADA, although we were never really close. I roomed with one of his close friends during the first two years, before I moved in with you. But sometimes the old gang still hang out. But Nick is closer to Kurt then me. They hit it off real good, bonding over fashion."
"So, you have known him for…like, five years?"
"Yep, and though the guy did face some hardships during the early stages of his career, he is quite a figure. I think you two are going to get along just fine. Don't worry about it. He is nothing like Sebastian. I know how much you've been reserved with dating after Sebastian."
"Well…if both you and Rachel say we are a perfect math, then I guess I will give Kurt a chance. Plus, I have a good feeling about this. Thanks man. Hey! Don't you have to head over to Nick's? I still don't understand you two. You have been together for , like, seven years, and you two don't live together."
"Yeah…I'm heading out now. We have to go over some last over adjustments for tonight's show. And, yeah…we are waiting until we get married to move in together. And 24 is a bit too early we think. Yes, we've been together for seven years, but neither of us see ourselves getting married yet. And although we do spend the nights at each others, we like the fact that we have our own space to go if we need, and this way we can still feel like teenagers going out on dates and all."
"Okay…but what you two have is special. Go find your boyfriend. I'll see you later at the awards." Blaine waved goodbye to his friend and went back to fretting. After a few minutes his phone buzzed with a text message.
From: Rachel Berry
Hey Blaine! Excited for tonight? *wink* Still on to meeting Kurt?
To: Rachel Berry
Hey Rachel. Yeah…not quite grasping the fact that I'm a Tony nominee. Are you sure Kurt will be there? Does he even want to meet me?
From: Rachel Berry
Haha! Its surreal, I know! Sure, he is a nominee as well. He has to be there. And, he will meet you. Don't worry. I've said it before, I think you guys will be get along just fine. I care about Kurt's well-being. I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't think you'd get along.
To: Rachel Berry
Looking forward to tonight then. See you, Maria!
So, it was real. He was meeting Kurt Hummel.
In his flat, Kurt was now on the phone with Rachel.
"Rach, I know you are excited for tonight! Don't worry. You were great as Maria. I'm sure you have great chances at winning the Tony! And think about it! Tony at 24 years of age. That's quite an achievement."
"So…Kurt Hummel. About tonight…just talked to Blaine and he is really excited to meet you. You will meet him, right?"
"Rach…" Kurt groaned, he was trying not to think about it. "I'm meeting him because there is no way you will let me escape of it. But you know how skeptical I am of the dates you arrange for me."
'Kurt! You are going to love him. Stop complaining. I've got to go now. Dress nice, to impress. I'll see you tonight. Bye!" She hung up before Kurt could reply.
Far too soon for his liking, Kurt realized he had to get ready to go. His manager was sending the limo at seven-thirty sharp, and he had two hours to get ready. With a huff he went to style his already perfectly styled coff, and put on plain black suit with a slim black tie, and white dress shirt. Grabbing his keys and checking for his phone he was finally ready to go.
He had dreamed of this moment since he can remember. And now he was finally there. Nominee and a favorite for best actor. His night couldn't get better. Only thing that was still in his mind was one Blaine Anderson, that he would be meeting tonight, and was, apparently a charmer. And if Kurt was to admit to himself, he was quite excited in meeting him. But he would never admit it to Rachel.
