A/N Okay, first day of both the Klaine Advent and the Glee Potluck Big Bang December drabble. Today's word for the Advent is Achievement, and the theme from the Potluck is Hallmark Christmas Movies. This will end up being a little more than a drabble, most likely. As long as the prompts work out, I will continue this story. If the prompts don't work, I may write a one shot for them, but still work on this story!
PS. The next chapter of Somewhere, Ohio should be up by Monday!
Reviews always welcome!

The Surprise
"Guess what?" Two voices said at almost the exact same moment. Kurt and Blaine laughed at themselves as Blaine greeted the pale man at the door of their apartment.
"You go first," Kurt said.
Blaine smiled dopely at him. "Okay. Cooper called me this morning. His agent told him about this really amazing Hallmark Christmas movie script that they are casting, and asked if Cooper would be interested in auditioning, but there was a conflict in his scheduling, so Cooper can't do it, but he thinks I would be perfect for it!"
"Blaine! That is great news! When is the audition? Will you have to fly to LA?"
"That's the great part of it, Kurt, they are filming here in New York, and will be holding auditions next week!"
"You'll be amazing, I'm sure!" Kurt said, hugging his husband.
"So, what's your news?" Blaine asked as they began making dinner.
"Well, Rachel introduced me to that one producer she met out in Hollywood that time she skipped out on Fanny to audition for that TV show. He's also casting a movie here in New York, and offered me a part! One of the romantic leads, no less!"
"Wow, Kurt! That's awesome! You didn't even have to audition?"
Kurt shook his head as he poured each of them a glass of wine. "He saw me do Peter Pan at the retirement home. Apparently his aunt is a resident there, and he happened to be visiting her that day. He thought I'd be perfect to play the celebrity playboy chef!"
Blaine laughed. "Well, I can understand why he might think that! You're sexy enough to be a playboy, and you do love to cook!"
Kurt grinned at him. "You're the sexy one! I know you'll do great! You'll win them over with your boy next door charms, and we'll both make our film debut! Just don't get too upset when I beat you out for the Best Performance at the Golden Globes!"
Blaine laughed and kissed him. "Well, that would be quite an achievement, but I assure you, I will be the one delivering my acceptance speech next year!"
Dinner was delayed as they moved the kissing to the bedroom.
…
A week later, Blaine was shown into the conference room at the Roosevelt Hotel and was introduced to the casting director, Davis Wilson.
"Thank you for coming in today, Blaine. We'd like you to read opposite the other lead, if you don't mind, just to see if you are compatible. They should be here in just a moment"
"Oh, sure, no problem!" Blaine said, smiling his most dapper smile. He ran through a mental list of possible female actors who could be cast opposite him. He'd only received the script that morning, and hadn't had a chance to do more than scan his parts. He was auditioning for the part of Edward. Cooper had given him a quick rundown of the character.
Edward had grown up in foster homes, and had some unusual hang ups because of it. He was obsessed with having the perfect home, and the perfect family. He recently got engaged to his perfect partner, and had been talked into cooking a fabulous Christmas feast for his fiance's family. The only problem; he can't cook. He'd been embarrassed to tell his fiance that all those fancy dinners he'd served were delivery from fancy take out places.
That had been all the information Cooper had had about the plot. Blaine had hoped to glean more from the script, but because of a misprint on the delivery label, Blaine hadn't received it until just before he'd left for the audition that morning. Kurt had to leave earlier than him, as he'd had a meeting with the casting director of the film he'd be working on, which he still hadn't learned the title of.
"Oh, here they are now!" Davis said, interrupting Blaine's thoughts. He stood up and turned to see who he'd be playing opposite of, expecting some young starlet looking up at him with doe eyes and flirting with him. What he saw instead was so much better. "Kurt!"
