So this idea came to me from a group I'm in on Facebook and I needed a break from TikTok so decided to start writing again. Bear with me as I am dyslexic so if it doesn't make sense then I apologise.

Broadway Dreams Shattered
Chapter One
Kurt Hummel-Anderson sighed as he closed the front door behind him. It had been a very long day at Lyceum Theatre at his recent call-back for the role of Corny Collins in the Broadway revival of 'Hairspray'. The competition was fierce - out of him and two others he was the only one with the least experience in musical theatre. He had blown the directors away at his audition so he hoped he had a chance at maybe getting his Broadway debut.
After taking a deep breath, he slides his shoes off next to the door and puts his bag down. He smiles when he hears singing coming from the kitchen which means his husband of five years was home early from working at the local coffee shop. He walks towards the kitchen and sees Blaine preparing their dinner for the evening.
"Evening babe" Kurt says while wrapping his arms around Blaine's waist and giving him a peck on the cheek.
"Evening - how did the call-back go?" Blaine asks. Kurt sighs. "I think he went okay but the other two had way more experience than me so I don't think they'll give me the part"
"Got to think positive babe! You never know - this may be the one that gets one of us onto the stage" Blaine replies smiling at Kurt. "Yeah maybe - let's hope that my lack of experience didn't show too much then"
After graduating from NYADA three years ago Kurt thought it wouldn't be too hard to get onto the stage. He went to many auditions but nothing seemed to happen - all the experienced actors seemed to always get the part. In the end he had to work in a clothes shop downtown just to pay the bills while also going to any audition he could find.
Blaine turns back to preparing their dinner for the evening and starts singing again. He decided to sing 'Come What May' which they had dubbed their song as they had sung it back in high school and then again at their joint wedding with Brittany and Santana. Kurt smiles and starts singing along with Blaine while looking at the local newspaper to see if any new auditions were about.
When he flips the page he notices a big advertisement for 'Moulin Rouge' which was going to be on Broadway at the Marquis Theatre later that year and they were doing open auditions.
"Blaine!" Kurt says suddenly interrupting their singing.
"Yeah darling?" Blaine replies.
"There's open auditions for Moulin Rouge this week at Marquis Theatre! Every day between 2pm and 5pm. You should go audition!" Kurt says excitedly.
"Really? Oh that's amazing! I shall go down and audition tomorrow then!" Blaine replies while turning around to give Kurt a big kiss.
Kurt smiles and goes back to reading the newspaper humming quietly to himself when Blaine continues making their dinner. After a few moments Blaine turns round with a huge bowl of salad that he had prepared.
"Dinner's ready darling - could you grab some bowls and forks please?" Blaine asks.
Kurt looks up and smiles. "Of course sweetheart" he replies while putting the newspaper down and getting up from the table. He walks to the cupboard pulling out two bowls and then to the drawer and picking up two forks. He places them on the table and then goes to grab two glasses and fills them with water.
They both sit down at the table and Blaine starts dishing out the salad between the two bowls when Kurt asks "So what you going to sing at the audition tomorrow?"
Blaine smiles and thinks for a bit. "Oh, was thinking maybe 'Come What May'? I mean it is my favourite song from 'Moulin Rouge' and I am going to try for the part of Christian".
"That would be great. You'll smash the audition. Everyone will love you" Kurt replies.
Blaine sighs while picking at his food, "I really hope so. Especially after so many auditions and call-backs, I'm surprised that I've not had my big break yet!"
Kurt sips his water and nods.
They eat their dinner while talking about how Blaine's shift at the coffee shop went and how he bumped into Tina and Mike on the way home.
After dinner they both tidy up the table, Kurt washing up the dishes and Blaine drying and putting them away. Once they had finished they both walked into the living room and sat down together on the couch and decided to put on a film so they can relax for the evening.
"What shall we watch tonight babe?" Kurt asks.
"I'm in the mood for Sound of Music - not watched that in ages" Blaine replies excitedly. Kurt smiles and puts the film on and then cuddles up to Blaine.
They both sing along to the music from the film, occasionally turning to give each other a kiss while cuddling.
During one of the songs Blaine turns to Kurt only to see that he had fallen asleep on Blaine's shoulder. He smiles, turns and picks up the remote and turns off the TV.
He puts his arm under Kurt's legs and picks him up bridal style. Kurt stirs a little but snuggles his head into Blaine's neck. Blaine knows Kurt won't wake up while carrying him to the bedroom as he has done this many times in the past and he loves that he can lift Kurt without any issue.
He walks to the bedroom, carefully opening the door and turning off any lights in the house without waking Kurt in his arms. Once in the bedroom he lays Kurt down on the bed and pops to the bathroom to brush his teeth and get ready for bed.
He walks back into the bedroom and looks at Kurt - he looks so peaceful. His chestnut brown hair all messy and his flawless skin. Blaine loves everything about him, the sight of him makes his heart flutter.
Blaine sighs then walks over to the bed and gently wakes Kurt.
"Darling, you need to get ready for bed. I know you don't like missing your daily skincare routine."
Kurt stirs. "Sleepy." he yawns. Blaine giggles at this. 'He's so cute when tired' he was thinking.
"I know darling but I don't think you'd want to sleep in your expensive clothes and I am sure you'd want to brush your teeth" Blaine whispers.
Kurt rubs his eyes and gets up. "I think I'll do my skincare tomorrow - I am so tired" he says while yawning again.
While Kurt is in the bathroom, Blaine gets into bed and pulls the duvet up and waits for his darling to come back. After a few moments Kurt turns off the bathroom light and sluggishly walks into the bedroom. He climbs into bed next to Blaine and puts an arm across Blaine's waist and lays his head on his chest.
Blaine smiles, turns to turn off the lamp next to him and then kisses Kurt on the forehead.
"Good night sweetheart, I love you" Blaine says while looking lovingly at Kurt.
"Love you." Kurt murmurs back as he was already falling asleep.
Blaine sighs, snuggles up more to Kurt and falls asleep.
