OHIO'S OWN REVISED
Summary: Finn Hudson and Blaine Anderson, two of the most well known names in music, hailing from Columbus, Ohio the two are now on their world tour, when they meet Rachel Berry and Kurt Hummel.
CHAPTER THREE: BROADWAY
Blaine was loving being in New York, it was a city that he had always wanted to visit, and so while he was there he was determined to do as much as he could. One of those things included a Broadway show, and after failing at convincing Finn to go with him he found himself being driven by Mike to the theatre where Mama Mia was playing, Mike wasn't going in with him, he was going to sit in the car or go for pizza or something, Blaine forgot what he'd told him. When they pulled up in front of the theatre Blaine hopped out guaranteeing that he would meet Mike out front once the show was done. He hoped out excitedly with his sunglasses on, one of Puck's precautions which made no sense with it being almost eight in the evening, and walked up to the box office to get his ticket and carry on inside.
As he walked and searched for his seat Blaine found himself in the third row and so he shimmied his way down the line and sat down shrugging out of his jacket and slipping his sunglasses onto the neckline of his t-shirt. Just before the show started a figure jogged in from behind the stage and along the row to the empty seat to Blaine's right. In curiosity Blaine looked over to the flustered man and cocked an eyebrow with a grin when he recognized the face.
"Kurt?" he asked hoping he was right and wasn't just seeing things like Finn told him he did once.
"B-Blaine? Oh hey, what are you doing here? Where's Finn?" Kurt replied with a smile as he shook hands with Blaine.
"Came to see a Broadway show while I'm here, and Gigantor wouldn't come with me, said he had 'better things to do', so I came solo to experience some of New York's finest of cultures." Blaine said with a soft laugh as the lights began dimming. "Fancy catching you here mind you, why is it you came from backstage?"
"I'll tell you at intermission, the show's starting."
"Sounds like a plan." the show started up and by the time intermission rolled around Blaine was absorbed into the story and the music. "This is amazing, it really is, I mean I've been to the little musicals that the community theatre put on in Lima and stuff but now, that seems like a play put on by kindergarten kids who have no idea what they're doing."
"Such a nice way of putting it, I'm glad I wasn't in the Lima Community Theatre group." Kurt laughed as he stood up to stretch before dropping back into his chair. "And to answer your question from earlier, I'm interning on weekends in the costume department back stage, so I ran out to come see the show. They don't need me until tomorrow again so, I'm enjoying my first weekend of the summer."
"That's so cool, so you're studying costume and set design at school or what?"
"Well I'm studying Fashion in general so this is really cool, but I'm hoping that after the summer I can get an intern job with someone else, you know, in a bigger span of fashion."
"That's awesome, I hope you find one! If not you may have to come and design our stuff for the tour, God knows Finn and I are only just managing."
"You're telling me, Finn Hudson and Blaine Anderson, two of the music world biggest icons right now, don't have a fashion consultant? That's like saying Rachel's talent doesn't come with and ego. You can't be serious."
"Oh I'm deadly serious, we kind of just wanted to be ourselves and dress like ourselves even on tour, you know, and we figured unless the consultant knew us like inside and out, whatever they dressed us in wouldn't be us. I know that sounds kind of dumb but that's what we're about, being one hundred percent yourself and if we didn't have our own style we wouldn't be doing that ourselves. So if we end up with a fashion consultant they better be fan-freaking-tastic and make us look super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot." Blaine said with a chuckle as Kurt began laughing.
"Super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot?" he laughed.
"How else can I put it? You're just jealous that I came up with like the most amazing word of life and you didn't. But that's okay, you can use it, just make sure when you do, all credit goes to this guy." Blaine pointed at himself with both of his thumbs while trying not to laugh along with Kurt. "Like if you go on Twitter and post, simply hypothetically of course, and you post this; 'Tonight I hit up Mama Mia with the supermegafoxyawesomehot at BlaineAnderson. It was totally awesome.' your next post would have to be, all credit for 'super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot goes to said at BlaineAnderson.' Then it would all be cool and fantastic."
"Is that how it is?" Kurt asked with a raised eyebrow and grin.
"Hell yeah, that's exactly how it is, then in return I would see that and retweet it and no one would have a clue what I am talking about and we would have a great laugh about it." Blaine replied before dropping quiet as the lights dimmed again. The rest of the show moved quickly and at the end the lights rose again leaving Blaine in awe in his seat before he stood up with Kurt and pulled his jacket and sunglasses back one. "Don't ask about the sunglasses, it's Puck's great idea of disguise, he'd kill me if I didn't wear them even though it is pitch black outside. Say, you said you're done for the night right?"
"Yeah, done until tomorrow evening where I shall be needed to do the same thing as I did tonight all over again, why do you ask?" Kurt replied checking his phone and walking to the end of the row with Blaine behind him.
"Well I was wondering if maybe you'd want to grab a coffee or something with me? Mike can give you a ride home after if you don't have your car with you." Blaine asked walking out into the lobby beside Kurt.
"Seriously? You're asking me to go for coffee?" Kurt questioned curiously looking at Blaine as if he'd grown a second head.
"Yeah seriously! If you want to come of course, I know not all people like coffee so if you don't want to come it's totally understandable."
"Quit rambling on about it, coffee is my favourite and I'd love to join you for coffee." Kurt chuckled as Blaine grinned and led him outside.
"Do you have a car or anything with you?"
"Nope, I usually just grab a cab so,"
"Well here's to saving money! Come on Mike parked over here." Blaine took Kurt's hand and led Kurt over to a black Escalade. He opened the door for Kurt with a smile and closed it behind him before walking around to his side of the car and leaning forward to tell Mike the plan.
"Hey again Kurt, and Blaine you can't be out too much later, remember you have an interview tomorrow morning for CWYZ. I'm telling you, one day all of your three hour sleep stunts are going to catch up with you and you'll be comatose or something." Mike said starting the car and driving towards a Starbucks. "Oh and I have to come in with you because you never know who's lurking around the streets. A Broadway show's one thing, but going to a coffee shop is different, hope you don't mind Kurt, I'm just looking out for you both."
"That's fine, I don't get how this all works so whatever it is that works for you guys." Kurt said noticing finally that Blaine was still holding his hand.
"I know this sounds stupid, and don't get mad at me Kurt I'm really only looking out for you with this one, but maybe it would be best if we park a block or so away from the coffee place and walk there, Kurt, you can go first and we can follow behind a few seconds after, then we'll head back to the car and we can take you home. I just don't want the paparazzi getting anything if they're lurking, cause lets face it, you being seen with me would be bad for you, you wouldn't be able to go anywhere without people asking questions or harassing you and I don't want that." Blaine said quietly and Kurt smiled while Mike nodded in agreement. "I know that doesn't exactly sound like fun, but-"
"I get it Blaine, and it's fine, whatever works like I said." Blaine flashed Kurt a smile before looking out of the window still holding Kurt's hand. Mike pulled the car over a block away from Starbucks and let Kurt out who smiled before walking down to the coffee shop, Blaine and Mike almost the block length behind him. He ordered his coffee and handed over his money. "Keep the change and pay for the next customer's order." Kurt waited for his drink at a table not too far from the counter when Blaine and Mike stepped in to order, the barista was starstruck and had a difficult time telling Blaine his order had already been paid for. Blaine shot Kurt a look quickly receiving a grin in return. The barista asked for Blaine's autograph and Blaine smiled and happily signed a napkin for her quickly before grabbing his drink and turning to leave with Mike, Mike gave Kurt a quick gesture to follow when they were out of sight. He did as he was told and walked to the car and slipped into the backseat next to Blaine shortly after he and Mike had gotten in.
"Sneaky devil, paying for our drinks too, Mike we should have gone first." Blaine said running his hand through his curls as he took a drink from his cup.
"I am not complaining at all, thanks Kurt." Mike grinned driving away as Kurt told him his address. They all kept good conversation as Mike drove towards Kurt and Rachel's apartment. When they drove past Times Square Blaine fell quiet for a moment.
"Finn and I want to go there so bad and do one of those tacky tourist shots, I really hope we have time before we move on." he said when he turned to find Kurt looking at him curiously.
"Rachel and I did the same thing when we first came here. I'm sure you'll find time." Kurt smiled as Mike came to a stop in front of his apartment building. Blaine insisted Kurt give him his number before he went inside and so with his phone in hand and Blaine's number entered into the contact list Kurt said goodbye to Blaine and Mike before walking into the lobby and up to his apartment where Rachel was sat on Facebook talking to Mercedes. "You are not going to believe where I have been tonight Rachel!"
"Something tells me you were at work where you are every weekend, but I could be wrong, where were you?" she asked typing furiously in reply to whatever it was Mercedes had said.
"Well I was at work then I went to watch the show like I do some nights, and guess who was sat next to me? Blaine Anderson! Then we went for coffee, and he and Mike, you know their driver, dropped me off here."
"Seriously? That's awesome!" Rachel replied with a grin her interest now on Kurt and what he and Blaine talked about. The two carried on into the early hours of the morning before going to bed. At two thirty AM he got a text from Blaine simply stating; 'tonight was awesome, thanks for going for coffee with me, and thanks for paying, next times on me. Talk to you soon! Finn says 'HEY!'' Kurt laughed and went to sleep, making sure he got up early to flick on the radio to hear Sam's morning show.
