Kurt knew things weren't always great with Blaine, but he figured if he kept on trying to make Blaine happy things would get better eventually. Even so he still felt like he needed something for himself that got him out side the apartment he and Blaine shared. So he decided hed post a notice for a cover band hes wanted to start since coming to New York. He'd put it off til now because Blaine had told him he didn't think a band was a good idea, Kurt was Broadway after all. kurt figured that may well be true but he'd like to give it a shot any way. His voice was the only thing he had going for him besides his fashion career at . He'd given up on Broadway stardom a long time ago, he knew Blaine was far more likely to nab the leading roles,even Blaine agreed it was true. so he stepped back and let Blaine have the lead roles while he kept to the supporting roles. Despite that Kurt still some times had the urge to be the star again, so with that in mind Kurt walked into the commons building for the NYADA campus and right to the bulletin board used for student notices, jobs, audition notices and such. Kurt stood there staring at the flier in his hands for a moment, hands shaking and doubts plaguing his mind as well as a bit of anxiety. He knew that posting the flier at NYADA Blaine would soon find out Kurt's plans and Kurt knew Blaine wouldn't be too thrilled with the idea, he worried about kurt and preferred it if Kurt were home with him after school and work. Kurt had every intention of telling Blaine, but after the flier was up. He'd text Blaine about it then.
Kurt took a deep breath and hung up the flier and then quickly walked off towards his first class of the day and so he didn't notice someone else who'd come in just as Kurt had hung up the notice. The man watched Kurt walk away til he was out of sight, and then, the man blinked as if a spell had been broken and walked over to the bulletin board to see what the man with the nice ass and ridiculously long legs in the tightest jeans he'd ever seen had posted. His eyes were immediately drawn to a new looking flier advertising try outs for a cover band. Hmm sounds interesting and fun he thought to himself, and maybe ill get to find out if the guy who posted the flier looks as good from the front as he had from the back. He reached up and ripped off one of the little tabs of paper with the phone number to contact the man, Kurt the flier said, about scheduling an audition. The man put the piece of paper in his pocket, smiled and walked away thinking to himself that this day has definitely improved .
Kurt walked out of class with a sigh. Blaine texted him 4 times during class and normally he only texted the one time right before kurts class began to wish him a good day and make sure hed made it to NYADA ok. Kurt loved how much blaine cared. kurt wasnt able to look at the messages during class with out getting into trouble with the professor, and blaine knew that. So he knew blaine was now aware of the flier and that they'd have to talk later and it could only mean blaine was upset kurt didnt tell him about the cover band he was about to put together. Kurt quickly glanced over the texts from blaine as he walked to his second class of the day, and messaged him back that they would talk when he got home, class was about to start. He hoped that would mollify blaine enough that the conversation later wouldnt turn into an argument, he hated making blaine angry and especially hated disappointing blaine. It seemed like he disappointed him alot lately. He hoped this wasnt one of those times.
Kurt walked out of his last class of the day with a ball of anxiety sitting in in his stomach. He knew he an blaine needed to talk about the cover band, he only hoped blaine wouldnt make him give it arrives back at his an blaine's apartment to find it quiet and no blaine in the living room or the kitchen area.
"blaine honey, im home. Where are you" kurt called out. getting no response kurt continues on to their bedroom, figuring maybe blaine is having a nap. Walking in to the bedroom Kurt realized how wrong he was, blaine was in fact completely awake and waiting for kurt.
" care to tell me why you didn't tell me you were planning to start a cover band kurt?" blaine asked.
' were you just going to go hold auditions and never tell me?'
"no of course not blaine, nothing like that. We've been busy and i wanted to get the flier up as soon as possible, i had every intention of telling you tonight all about my plans"replied kurt.
"why do you want to do this kurt, you know i worry about you and want you here at home with me. what about my show kurt, how will you have your band and also help me rehearse for my show?"
'blaine please, i can make time, i can rehearse with the band when your not rehearsing and ..."
"its not just the rehearsing kurt, its the time you'll be spending away from home too. Are you even sure this is something you can do? Remember we talked about this before, yourvoice is too broadway for the band scene."said blaine.
"yes blaine i'm sure.i know my voice is more musical theater than rock band and i know 'i'll probably be booed off the stage, but can't i at least try?"exclaimed kurt.
"ok, under one condition, i'm there for the auditions"
" why do you want to be at the auditions, your auditioning right?" asked kurt
" no i'm not, im too busy working on a real career, my career in theater. is there some reason i can't be there kurt?" asked blaine
"No of course not" exclaimed kurt.
"ok then, so theres no issue with me being there then right? Asked blaine.
Kurt sighed, " no there isnt. Ok thats not much to ask i guess, thank you blaine. I love you" kurt said as he walked closer to blaine and put his arms around his shoulders and kissed him on the lips.
"i love you too"
The next morning kurt woke up to find hed already had some texts from people wanting to audition. he let out a small squeal of excitement and delight and bounced a little, forgetting for a moment he was still sitting in bed next to a sleeping blaine. Kurt quickly turned to look if hed woke blaine, to find blaine looking at him.
'oh god im sorry blaine, i got so excited forgot i was still in bed, go back to sleep i can tell you about it later".
"no, im awake now, may as well tell me what has you so excited this early in the day" blaine said through a yawn.
" ok, well i have some messages already from people interested in trying out for my band! can you believe it blaine? I never thought it would happen so fast, i mean im not any one special there and i dont think any one really knows me there, but oh my god its happening!" kurt rushed out excitedly.
" interested in the band or interested in you, you mean." grumbled blaine.
"no blaine , stop that you know theres no way theyre coming for me, no one is interested in the pasty, girly voiced sophomore. every ones interested in being in a band though. You even were during high school briefly." reassured kurt.
"well ill be the judge of that when we meet these guys, they are guys i assume right? You know most gay men our age just want sex, your lucky you found someone like me who wants a relationship and not just a quick fuck. I love you kurt, i just want whats best for you and to keep you safe, you know that, right?" blaine asked.
With a sigh kurt slid down to lay next to blaine and look him in the eyes. " blaine you know your the only one for me, it doesnt matter what any of those guys would say or do. Im not going any where." said kurt. He give blaine a kiss and wrapped his arms around him. "Any way, im going to go message these people back,and set up the auditions. dont worry i know your schedule ill make sure it doesnt interfere with your rehearsals. Go on back to bed, ill come wake you when breakfast is ready." he gives blaine on more kiss then disentangles himself from blaine to go and make them breakfast.
"hey e, what you got there,"?
'Hey mark, its just a number i got off the bulleton board in the commons building for auditions for a cover band someones putting together"
" dude you should do it, what are you waiting for man?" his room mate exlaimed.
" dont know, nerves i guess. Worried ill blow it. Its been a dream of mine for a whiel you know"
" youll be fine man, txt them already!" said mark. " im off to class see ya man"
" see ya later"
The man took a deep breath and opened up a new text. " ok lets do this" he breahtes.
Outgoing text: hey hi. Um i got your number off the bulletin board in the commons. Id like to audition for it. Let me know when is good for you."
In coming text: hi there! Thanks for messaging and for wanting to audition! Im looking to set up auditions for this Saturday. Can you be here at noon? By here i mean one of the nyada practice rooms, god knows my neighbors would lose their minds if i held auditions here in my apt.
Outgoing text: Saturday at noon is perfect! Is there anythingi need to know or bring or shall i just bring myself?
Incoming text: just your self is fine, though if you play an instrament bringing that is fine too. Sing what ever you like, no restrictions there either. Do you have a name, or is that some kind of top secret info thats only shared on a need to knwo basis?
The man had to chuckle at that last response, this kurt is pretty funny.
Outgoing text: oh right sorry about that, my name is Elliot. Elliot Gilbert. I assume i am speaking to kurt, the kurt listed on the flier?
Incoming text: you would assume correctly, the one and only kurt hummel at your to "meet" you elliot, elliot gilbert. That makes you sound like some sort of james bond alterego, are you a james bond alterego? Should i be lookiing out for a guy in a suit with fancy gadgets and a fancy car on saturday? Any way, thank you for messaging, i look forward to properly meeting you Saturday.
This time elliot couldnt help but to full on laugh, oh but this kurt seems wonderful and adorable! Saturday cannot come soon enough as far as hes concerned.
Ellliot G: haha no definitely not a james bond alter ego, sorry to ruin your illusion of me being a secret spy. i wish tho! Again thank you and ill see you Saturday, i look forward to meeting the one and only kurt hummel.
Kurt H: oh well, thats a shame,i guess ill have to keep hoping ill one day meet the real james bond. Your welcome, i will see you Saturday, not james bond!
Elliot set his phone down with a smile on his face. He couldnt believe his luck! This kurt sounds incredible so far. He really is hoping he gets chosen for the band Saturday, he wants a chance to get to know kurt more. He has a feeling knowning kurt is going to be the best thing he could ever ask for.
