Kurt and Rachel walked down the streets of New York. Kurt had some difficulties walking because he was afraid every moment he'd fall, but got through it.

Rachel had chosen to wear her red silky dress by Kurt's suggest. Kurt, on the other hand was wearing tight blue jeans (there went two hours to get them on so he wished this night better be worth it), white dress shirt and blue bowtie. A fancy look, not overdressed but not under dressed either. He had put his hair for hours, spraying hairspray with his sister until he was pleased with it. He had also helped Rachel put her hair. Kurt thanked there wasn't windy to ruin either of their outfits and looks.

They walked down the 7th avenue just as he had told him, and not long there was a big hotel, Shearton Hotel in front of them. The word had spread somehow, because there were tons of people around the entrance. They were pushing in, but there was a large bodyguard with a list on his hand, pushing the people back with a serious face since they weren't on the list. Girls would leave almost crying, and whining since they didn't get in. Rachel smiled proudly, then whispering to Kurt as they went for the queue.

"How do we get in? We have to be on the list, Kurt."

Kurt gulped, Rachel too. "I don't know, Rachel.."

They walked down the people on the line, dressed as fine as they were. It was mostly girls, and some of them had dates with them. None of the dozen people in front of them got in, the scary looking bodyguard would simply shake his head, and they'd walk away. When it was Kurt and Rachel's turn, the guard looked at them with the same bored face, like he'd been there for days.

"Names, please." the bodyguard demands in a sigh.

"Rachel and Kurt Hummel" Rachel says their names excited, but with a nervous smile. Would they even get in? The guard's eyes look at the list, turning the page and then snorting.

"There is a Kurt Hummel, but no Rachel."

Rachel turns to her brother with a look, he knew. You're on the list?! The bodyguard smiled a little, finally a real guest. He gestured to the door, but only to Kurt, he blocked the way when Rachel tried to get pass him.

"Please, can my sister come too?"

"I'm sorry, but Mr. Anderson was pretty clear. No exceptions, no one else than who is on the list."

"I'm a friend of Blaine's."

Kurt could feel the warm eyes of his sister's. The bodyguard snorts again in disbelief.

"I'm sure you are. Now, please, there are other people on the line."

"But-"

"Is there a problem here?" A male voice calls. A young handsome man in a suit walks to the bodyguard with curious look. They all stare. "And did I hear a Kurt Hummel?"

"Yes.."

"You're the Kurt I've been hearing all day. Hey, Bob, they're fine. Let them in." The man says, and the guard nods in a friendly way, gesturing them to walk inside. Rachel was too confused by the situation.

"I'm Sebastian, Blaine's friend.", the man introduces himself as they walk in the hotel. Somehow Rachel could keep the excitement inside her, even though Kurt could see she would crack any moment.

"Thank you. "

"Thanks, Sebastian, really.. but I really need to talk with my brother." Rachel says quickly, and then pulls his sleave to the next corner, leaving Sebastian questioned.

"You're a friend of Blaine's?" Rachel finally cracks, tries not to scream, eyes widened.

"Not really."

"Then how was your name on the list, Kurt?"

"I did, uh.. okay, I knew this person who works here from the musical and he owned me a favor.. so he managed to put my name in the list, and only one name." Kurt lies fast. He had no idea that Blaine had actually put his name on the list, and that was the quickest lie he come up with. Rachel bought it.

"Oh my God, wow! Thank you, Kurt! I'll never forget this, you know." Rachel says, giving him a hug. Then as they're hugging, Rachel's eyes widen as big as plates, her body starts to shake all over. "Rachel, are you okay..?"

She makes sort of squeak voice mixed up with mumbling. Kurt pulls away from the hug and looks at the direction she was staring and shaking.

"T-tha-tha-that's B-B..." Rachel mumbles in excitement that she can't even speak. Kurt sees as Blaine passed the corridor, walking to the hall where the party actually was hold in. He was beautiful as ever: Blaine had swept his hair back with gel as always, skin shining perfectly from foundation. He was also wearing a dress shirt but blue one, and a bow tie. Kurt's heart raced a bit.

Rachel followed Blaine like a hunter stalked prey. Kurt followed behind her, slower so he watched her run too far.

"Rach, wait!" Kurt called on her, but once she walked through the doors to the room that was filled with guests, she disappeared among the crowd quickly. The disco music was playing loud in the room. It was filled with fine dressed girls and boys, chatting and enjoying the party with drinks. The lights blinked all over. Kurt saw there was a tiny built up stage in the back, with music equipment and microphones.

Kurt had to stumble through the people, trying not to hit anyone with his stick. He was given strange looks, as if he was in the wrong place. He ignored the people, like he had most of his life. He spend the next hour trying to find his sister, but he knew she was probably stalking Blaine, but a thought crossed his mind that she'd fainted. But then someone would probably noticed that.

The next hours he spend standing alone, listening the surprisingly good music that played from the music player and listening people's chats. Most of them were the casual stuff, but clearly there was some sort of even at midnight every girl seemed to gossip about. Something about Blaine performing, but it was all background music to Kurt's ears. There was also karaoke machine on the stage that some of the workers brought in the hour. Every now and then Kurt had the pain to listen one of Blaine's "biggest fans" to perform his famous songs. There were couple okay singers, but most of them were not really good ones which he tried to ignore.

At some point the evening, he spot Rachel chatting with some girls. They were at the other half of the room so Kurt decided to stay there, instead of stumping through the crowd. Kurt didn't hear the steps behind him since the loud music and people's chatter.

"Couldn't stay away, huh?" A sarcastic voice says. Kurt doesn't need to bother even turning, because Blaine walks beside him with a cocky smile.

"I'm here for my sister." He replies, pointing at Rachel.

"Ah. Right."

"Why else would I be here.." Kurt whispers, but Blaine heard it, making him smile. Kurt couldn't help but to stare Blaine's gorgeous smile with perfect line of white teeth.

"You should sing, Kurt." Blaine suggests and points at the stage, where a girl was currently singing 'Wrecking Ball'.

"I don't think it's a good idea, Blaine." It felt strange to say his name out loud for Kurt, rather than thinking it all the time.

"Why? You have stunning voice, Kurt. If you could combine all the singers that sang in the last hours, it wouldn't even count it, like not even the half of it."

"Thanks, but I'm fine," Kurt sighs for his attempt to get Kurt sing. "Maybe if you said that my voice is better than yours, then I might consider it." Kurt jokes, making Blaine laugh.

"If that's what gets you to the stage, then-"

"Blaine!" A girl calls for him, interrupting their conversation. Blaine turns to see a beautiful girl who was gesturing him to go to her. Kurt was half relieved he didn't need to go sing a song in front of the people, in front of him, but he wished he had heard what compliment Blaine would have said about his voice.

"I have to.. " Blaine starts, gesturing to the way the girl called him. Kurt nods understanding.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm bad company, anyway." Kurt says, looking at the crowd and his sisters way, but she was no longer there. Blaine looks at Kurt with the same smile.

"I wouldn't say that." Blaine says before he disappears to the crowd. Kurt smiles, then feels a grab on his shoulder.

"Did Blaine Anderson just talk to you?" Rachel asks stunned, high voiced. She had run to him after seeing them talk, and stared his brother with curiosity.

"Yeah, he-"

"What did he say? Did he say anything about me?" Rachel inquires, Kurt rolling his eyes for her silly questions.

"How could he? You haven't even met him."

"Right, right. Did you tell him about me?"

"I did." Kurt says, knowing it was half true and made her happy. She jumps excited, as a little girl.

"OMG, what did he say?"

"That he wants to marry you."

Kurt watches as she fakes to faint, but he almost bought it.

"Don't toy with my heart, Kurt," Rachel says judging, her shaky hand on her chest. "My heart just exploded, you know."

"Sorry."

"Anyway, I am feeling lucky. I've met him! Seen him close by, at least.. And you know there's a show at midnight? A duet with him?"

"A duet?" Obviously, Kurt thought.

"Yes, look," Rachel points at the stage, where was a tiny table, on top of it a bowl that was full of many, many pieces of papers. "Apparently everyone gets to put their name there and then Blaine picks one. The lucky one gets to sing a duet with him!"

"How awesome." Kurt sighs bored.

"I know, right? So I put our names there.."

"You put my name too?" Kurt shouts. It was the last thing he wanted to do – sing a duet with Blaine in all this mess.

"Of course! Because if you win, you can give it to me. Smart, huh?"

"I don't think it works that way."

"You'll say something for excuse."

Kurt stares at his sister, who searched for Blaine, who else. "You didn't just put one name there, did you, Rachel?"

She avoids his gaze.

"Rachel.. "

"It's allowed if everyone does it too!"

Kurt laughs, not believing this was his sister.

Midnight.

Kurt didn't know how he managed to stay there. He watched how Blaine sat in one of the very couches in the right corner talking to his "fans". He could tell they were his fans, as the girls changed but there was always one similar to them: their bodies shake, voice trembled and they were full of excitement as they were sitting beside him. Kurt rolled his eyes, and sighed. Besides, he kept company for his sister. Even his sister was surprisingly easy to chat with the other girls in the party, he didn't have a hard time thinking what or who was the topic of their conversations.

Rachel rushed to Kurt's side, showing her the time.

"I know, I know!" Rachel says. She had been watching the time from her phone every five minutes past two hours.

The crowd began to become nervous. It could tell. The chatter had lowered, people gathered closer to the stage. And when the music stopped, people were in total silence until they cheered a little. There went five minutes, when Blaine got up from the couch. Everybody knew what it meant. It was time. His duet and one lucky person in the room.

The guy they had met before, Sebastian, walked to the stage to pick up the microphone.

"How are you guys doing? Having amazing time?" He speaks to the crowd, and they cheer and applause in return. "Great, great! Anyway, you know what time it is, don't you?" Sebastian teases the crowd, and some girl shouts: "Duet-time!"

"That's absolutely right! So, without further intro, let's call Blaine to the stage, shall we?" He doesn't need to say more, the girl's screams cheer him. Blaine walks from the corner of the stage with shy smile. He waves at the people, who cheer and applause more than before.

"So, let's begin! Let's see who will win. Blaine, come over here and pick a note from the bowl. Who will be the lucky one.."

Rachel grabbed Kurt's wrist nervously. Everyone looked as Blaine's hand went to the bowl, in slow motion, searching for the right paper. The tension in the crowd tightens even more. Everybody stares his hands, as they picked up a note. Everyone except Kurt.

Blaine opens the folded note, Sebastian watching him. Blaine smiles, as he gives the note to him.

"Kurt Hummel"

Lots of cheers, shouts, searching looks around the hall. Kurt was stunned, speechless. He, of all the people in the room. Rachel was cheering next to him, then pointing at herself.

"Kurt Hummel, is there a Kurt here?" Sebastian calls, people looking around. Rachel must have screamed her brother's name because in that moment the crowd turned to Kurt, and a spotlight.

"Uh.."

"Come to the stage, Kurt."

"I, uh, can't I give it to my sister? She's.."

"It doesn't work that way, kiddo."

Kurt gave his sister I told you so look, but she didn't seem to bother. Before he even realized what was happening, two guards were helping him to the stage. They had taken his sticks and suddenly he was on the stage, in front of the people and next to Blaine.

"Come, come." Sebastian gestures in a friendly way, and Kurt walks closer, stressing about his leg but then in the moment, seeing the smiling people's faces, it's all forgotten.

"Nice cast you have there, Kurt." Sebastian laughs, but luckily the microphone wasn't near his mouth so no one laughs, none hearing it. He realizes that, then putting mic close to his lips.

"So, Kurt, what's your favorite song from Blaine?" He asks. Kurt was frozen, since he didn't know any of his songs by name. Sure, he had listened them, but always by his sister or on radio or something else.

"Um.. they're all so amazing, I can't decide." Kurt says and Blaine tries to hide his smile, knowing he was lying.

"Okay, then! It's time to pick up the song!"

Crowd cheers excited. Another bowl is brought, now to Kurt. Sebastian tells people put their favorite duets there as well, and he had the power to pick one. Dear Lord, don't pick any romantic song, please.. Kurt begs as he puts his hand to the bowl, picking a card that felt the least non-romantic. He pulls it up, note reads: You and me – Book of Mormon. Kurt sighs.

"You and me from The Book of Mormon!" Sebastian shouts and the crowd cheers. Kurt corrects the tittle inside his mind, not bothering to say out loud. The man steps out the stage, only giving him another mic and Blaine other. The hall darkens before Kurt can realize what was happening, leaving Blaine and Kurt to the stage, then spotlight to them.

Blaine assumed naturally since Kurt didn't say anything, that he'd play Elder Price's part. The lyrics came to the small screen of TV, and the music started playing. Kurt sees how Blaine prepares to sing. At that moment, something changes inside of him. He knew the song by heart. It was one of his favorites. Would he just let Blaine sing all the best parts? He didn't think so.

So when it's time to sing, Kurt goes beside Blaine. He can see how Blaine opens his mouth to sing, mic near his lips, but Kurt starts to sing just a second before him:

"I've always had the hope that on the day I go to Heaven.." Kurt begins, blowing Blaine by the surprise. He shuts his mouth, realizing he had taken his part right in front of him."Heavenly Father will shake my hand and say: 'You've done an awesome job, Kevin!' Now its our time to go out.." Kurt sings with feeling, happily since he remembered the lyrics.

"My best friend.." Blaine finally sings. But, for his surprise there are no cheers or shouts. Everyone was staring at Kurt, who had surprised everyone on the room with his voice and attitude against him.

"And set that worlds people free! And we can do it together" Kurt sings, Blaine joining his singing at the second sentence.

They both sing:"You and me -"

Kurt steps Blaine aside, walking close to the edge of the stage, singing strongly and confidently: "But mostly me-e!" Rachel cheers for him, and other people too. Blaine couldn't believe it, how naturally he took over the performance with such confident.

"Are you gonna change the world forever, cause I can do most anything!"

"And I can stand next to you and watch!" Blaine sings his part. The crowd was stunned by Kurt's talent, not expecting actually talented singer.

"Every hero needs a sidekick, every captain needs a mate."

"Aye aye!"

"Every dinner needs a side dish-"

"On a slightly smaller plate.." Blaine sings. Blaine turns to Kurt, as he does too, looking at each other as they both sing: "And now we're seeing eye to eye, it's so great we can agree! The Heavenly Father has chosen you and me-"

Kurt turns away, to the crowd: "Just mostly me-e-e!"

The crowd cheers for his long, melodic singing, then silenced as Kurt looked down, his other hand on his chest, as the melody of the song changed.

"Something incredible.. I'll do something incredible," Kurt sings with feeling, his free fist on his heart, other one holding the mic. "I want to be the Mormon that changed all of mankind.."

"My best friend.." Blaine sings at the background, coming next to him, but Kurt blocks his way and the crowd laughs. Kurt was probably the first person to do so, or having the courage to take the song over him.

"I'm something I've foreseen.. Now that I'm nineteen. I'll do something incredible, that blows God's freaking mi-i-i-nd!"

This time Kurt doesn't turn to Blaine, but lets him come beside him as they both sing together: "And as long as we stick together"

"And I stay out of your way!"

"Out of my way!" Kurt sings confident, pushing him to the back that made the crowd laugh again and Kurt smile more, as he enjoyed the moment, probably more than he should have.

"We can change the world – forever!"

"And make tomorrow a latter day."

"Mostly me!"

"So quit singing about it."

Both sing: "And do it! How ready and psyched are we? Life is about to change for me, and life is about to change for you and me."

"But me, mostly.. " Kurt takes a deep breath, turning to Blaine. "And there's no limit to what we can do, me.. and you. But mostly.. me-e-e-e!"

The crowd cheers as Kurt singed the last tune with such power, the melody getting stronger and dramatic, then finally fading away as the song ended. Kurt closed his eyes and when he opened them - he saw all the people smiling, cheering and whistling to him. Even Blaine clapped his hands.

"Wow, just wow!" Sebastian speaks to the microphone as the song ended and walked next to them. "What a talent we have here", he adds, padding Kurt's shoulder.

The crowd is still cheering, Rachel screaming for more, almost embarrassing Kurt.

"What do you say, Kurt? Are you up to another song?"

"Uh.."

"More! More!" The crowd demands, ignoring Blaine completely.

"Or maybe you'll have a friend who would like to sing?"

"My sister would like to sing, I'm sure." Kurt says, before he can even look at Rachel, she is already close to the stage, ready to sing.

"All right. Come here, watch the steps.. so what's your name?" Sebastian begins interviewing her before the song. Kurt walks from the stage, with the help of the guards. He knew Rachel wouldn't pick his songs, instead she picked "Don't rain on my parade", her favorite songs.

Kurt walked among the crowd, now getting cheers and pats to his shoulder from them of congratulations, and walked to the corner. He liked the attention, but was still stunned by what had happened. Adrenaline run his veins, breath hectic. He listened his sister's singing, the familiar voice he had heard since he was five years old.

"She has a good voice." Blaine says, surprising Kurt. He hadn't watched as Blaine walked from the stage, through the crowd to him. Kurt looked around, but none of them seemed to see he was there, they were too keen to watch Rachel.

"Yeah." Kurt agrees, straightening his back.

"I gotta say, I was surprised by that show." Blaine says, complimenting Kurt, not offended.

"Don't tell me you picked my name on purpose."

"I didn't even know your name was there." Blaine says, looking at him.

"Rachel put it there, not me"

"Ah. Well, I'm glad she did."

A moment of silence. Blaine stared Kurt, who couldn't understand the way he stared at him. Warmly, kindly, in a friendly way. But also, as there was something else in his stare..

"Well, this has been a lovely party.. "

"Yeah? Would you like to hang out more often?"

The way Blaine asked, so casually and carelessly. Yet, it was so much more. A pop star asked a normal guy to hang out. It was unpredictable for Kurt. Why wouldn't he want to hang out with him? He was interested in the same things, he loved music and dancing and seemed to have same humor. But he was a star. Kurt was not.

"Sorry.. " Blaine apologizes, seeing his reaction.

"It's fine. I didn't expect that, that's all." Kurt knew his sister would kill him if she knew Kurt refused to hang out with him.

"I know, you don't have to answer anything. It's just.. I don't really have friends, you know?"

"I thought these people are your friends."

"They are, but they're really not, do you know what I mean? They claim to be my friends, but all they're after is fame and girls. To get to the best clubs. They're not true friends... you seem to be the only one who isn't interested in any of that stuff." Blaine tells. There is sadness in his voice that Blaine tried to hide but Kurt heard it. Kurt had no idea Blaine, the amazing star, could be so lonely. He was a celebrity, everyone would want to hang out with him, but in reality he didn't have any friends. Kurt understood it well.

"I'm.. sorry to hear that. I had no idea."

Blaine sighs. "I know we didn't meet the best ways and all, and I totally get if you don't want to be friends with me.."

"It would like to hang out with you. " Kurt says, surprising himself by saying it. He could see there was something very fragile and beautiful under the surface. Something beautiful Kurt would love to find out, and to become friends with him.

Blaine cheers up less than second. "Really?"

"Yeah, I mean I can't complain that I would have tons of friends too.. " Kurt admits it withing his joke that he usually hid. The loneliness. His sister seemed to be his only friend. Since he moved to New York, he was alone even with his musical, there weren't really people in his life beside his family. Now there was a chance for that.

Two lonely boys. One, a boy. Other, a pop star. Who, despite their good careers and people skills, were very lonely, had now found each other. They knew it in that moment. There was something between them. Most importantly, they wouldn't have to be lonely anymore.
