Well, I'm still alive, so here's your chapter :D
EDIT: This chapter is now revised, but I did it myself with no beta, so if there are still typos and such, I'm sorry.
Chapter 1: I Am Unicorn
Kurt was upset.
Blaine was just as gay as he was, and they were practically begging him to be Tony? How was that fair?
Yes, his boyfriend was absolutely fabulous; he had definitely nailed 'Something's Coming' right on the head, but when Kurt sang 'I Am the Greatest Star!' he had, quote 'owned that song like his prison bitch'. He twirled sai swords for GaGa's sake!
Kurt hadn't even realized he was still standing in the middle of the hallway a few minutes after school had ended until Blaine nearly crashed into him.
"Kurt!" Blaine exclaimed happily, before a nervous expression crossed his face.
Kurt knew Blaine was, surprisingly, more emotional than he was.
If Kurt was even a little upset, he cried. If he was slightly angry, he charged like a bull head on to face his problems.
Blaine, on the other hand, was much more sensitive, but was a hell of a lot better at hiding it. If something upset him, it was likely no one would be able to tell until it became too much and Blaine was blowing up from some little thing that he didn't even care about. Dating him for months and being his best friend for longer had taught Kurt to know the signs though.
They stood there a moment in silence, the nervousness and fear in Blaine's eyes never leaving, making Kurt's heart sink.
"What's wrong, baby?" Kurt asked, his own anger and jealousy momentarily forgotten as he took both Blaine's hands in his, knowing that Blaine was a very touchy-feely person because it's how he was best comforted.
It was like a switch had been flipped.
"I'm so sorry Kurt, I tried, I never even asked to-I just-I didn't know how to say no-" Blaine started babbling, moving his hands out of Kurt's to start twiddling his thumbs nervously. "They just seemed so desperate and-it's not like I'll one hundred percent get it-I know we agreed on-Kurt, I'm sorry, I love you, but-"
Kurt leaned down slightly to plant on soft kiss on Blaine's lips, cupping Blaine's face in his hand, silencing him. He hated seeing Blaine so stressed. It killed him to know Blaine was hurting about anything.
"Calm down." The older said firmly, stroking Blaine's cheek with his thumb. Blaine sighed, leaning into the touch, his own hands absently moving to sit on Kurt's narrow waist. "What's got you so worked up?" he asked more gently, his heart breaking at the terror in the shorter male's hazel eyes.
Blaine visibly gulped, taking a hesitant step closer to his love. "I-I just auditioned, for 'West Side Story'. I told them I only wanted to be Bernardo or Officer Krupke, like we agreed, but they asked me to read for Tony and I didn't really know how to say 'no' in that situation and God Kurt, please don't blame me for this."
That's when all of Kurt's envious thoughts evaporated completely.
Kurt had found out over the summer that Blaine's parents were hardly ever around, usually off on some business trip or just locked away in their respective offices. It had been that way ever sense he came out. This made Blaine fearful that someday he would do something or something would just happen to cause the one's closest to him to leave him.
Kurt didn't know if Blaine even knew this about himself.
And so, Kurt kind of hated himself for giving Blaine a reason to feel that way.
Blaine had come to 'Booty Camp' to spend more time with him, and then Kurt had pretty much ignored him after he found out Blaine wanted to be Tony, instead only paying attention to his campaign and his audition.
Kurt wrapped Blaine in fierce hug, kissing his temple softly.
"I shouldn't have asked you not to try for Tony; it was selfish and stupid of me." He whispered, a cross between a smile and a smirk covering his face when Blaine shivered as the breath hit his ear. "I'm sure you'll be an amazing Jet." Kurt told him confidently.
Blaine detached himself from Kurt's arms, making the countertenor frown. What had he done now?
"You could still get Tony you know." Blaine admonished him firmly.
Kurt laughed a little, though it was a slightly humorous, sad thing. "They said I wasn't 'manly' enough; besides, they asked you to read the part, meaning it's yours anyway."
"I'm so sorry Kurt!" Blaine said sincerely, warming Kurt's heart. Blaine was always so sweet.
"Why should you be sorry? It's who I am" Kurt explained, never feeling prouder of whom he was, despite his boyfriend pretty much upstaging him. "If the world won't write plays embracing a lead who's slightly more effeminate, then I'll just write them myself."
Kurt made a mental note to bake his dad a chocolate cake, health be damned, with a huge 'Thank You!' written on it in frosting, when he saw the awe, love, and admiration on Blaine's face.
"Besides," Kurt added, swinging his arm around the younger boy's shoulder playfully. "You're going to make a sexy Tony."

Blaine sighed happily as he sat across from Kurt at the small café.
He had absolutely no idea what it was called, or where it was exactly, but, as he had found was happening more often than not lately, he didn't care. As long as he was with Kurt, everything was fine.
"-and she called it 'Kurt Hummel's bulging, pink, fun-sack'! And then didn't even understand the innuendo!" Kurt explained, flailing his hands around for emphasis.
Blaine was surprised he didn't fall out of his chair with how hard he was laughing. Brittany was a little weird, and Blaine didn't really know her, but she sounded hilarious.
"It's not funny, Blaine!" Kurt huffed, though he was smiling as he reached across the table to lightly smack Blaine's arm.
Blaine straightened, his laughter subsiding. "You're absolutely right Kurt; there is nothing funny at all about your bulging, pink, fun-sack." He said seriously.
And then they both proceeded to crack up.
Blaine loved moments like this, too, when they were laughing together, teasing each other. It felt so natural, so serene.
They stopped laughing and stared into each other's eyes. Blaine felt his breath hitch at the intense stare the glasz eyes held as they seemed to shoot straight into his heart.
They silently reached across the table and took each other's hands.
"I love you." Blaine said, failing miserably at keeping the dopey smile off his face.
Blaine's smile grew when those amazing eyes seemed to light up-because of him!-as Kurt said "I love you too!" happily, giving Blaine's hand a small squeeze.
Blaine's smiled died when Kurt's hand slipped out of his and Kurt frowned. 'I knew it, he doesn't really love me, I've been pressuring him into it this whole time; I'm a year younger than him, why would he ever want-'
"I'm sorry for being a horrible boyfriend this past week." Kurt interrupted him, causing Blaine to jump slightly because what? Kurt was the best boyfriend he could've ever asked for, everything he'd dreamed of and more, why would he think he was anything less?
"Wha-I-what-" Blaine stammered intelligently. It was all he could think to say.
Kurt moved around to he was sitting right next to Blaine, their thighs touching lightly, their hands instantly finding one another's.
"Blaine," Kurt started, looking right into Blaine's eyes. It almost made Blaine think he was going to break up with him. "I'm so sorry for how defensive I got about the part, first of all. If I want to get into NYADA I'm going to have competition, and I need to deal with that without sabotaging my peers, especially if that peer is my boyfriend." He explained, smiling at Blaine, causing the junior to smile back. He understood what Kurt was saying, he just didn't really feel resentment against him for it. Kurt had a dream, and he was chasing it, what was wrong with that? "That's not all, though;
I left you alone pretty much all week, and I was so worried about myself I barley even noticed how much it affected you-don't deny it Blaine, you know it's true. I mean, God, you've barely been at McKinley a week, haven't been to a public school in years, and I just left you to the wolves? That's not something a considerate boyfriend would do."
Blaine stared at Kurt for a few minutes. Sweet, caring Kurt who always looked out for him; who did love him, no matter what.
"Kurt," Blaine sighed. "You are a great boyfriend, no matter what you think. You're more amazing then you'll ever even know. Yes, I did miss you this week, but it's not like you neglected me on purpose, you were stressed." Blaine replied, trying to get Kurt to understand that this wasn't his fault, that he was perfect.
Kurt's frown just deepened even further, making Blaine slightly nervous.
"Well, weather you think I was bad or not, I'm going to make it up to you." Kurt declared suddenly, kissing Blaine's cheek quickly as though to seal the promise.
"Alright" Blaine agreed with a sigh. He was the one who was bad boyfriend if he couldn't get Kurt to see that he had absolutely nothing to be sorry for. He was sure of it.
