Kurt settled into his chair in the familiar McKinley High School auditorium. As much as this place was like a second home to him, it was still weird for him to be sitting on that side of the room. He thumbed aimlessly through the program he was given until he came across Blaine's smiling face with the little blurb next to it under the phrase Cowardly Lion. Kurt had helped Blaine rehearse his lines for The Wizard of Oz for weeks, and could recite the entire play by himself.
"Hey Kurt!" Mercedes said, taking the seat next to him.
"Mercedes! Thank God there's someone I can talk to," Kurt said.
"Why, what's wrong?" she asked.
"I know Blaine's going to do so well, but I'm so nervous for him," Kurt admitted.
Mercedes smiled. "I know how you feel. Sam is the Scarecrow. I feel the same way," she said. The lights went down and they gripped each other's hands for moral support.
Kurt waited anxiously for Blaine to hop out on stage in his adorable little lion costume, and when the time came, it took no time for Kurt to relax. He saw the passion that Blaine had for the acting in his eyes and in his voice during his big solo, and he knew that he had nothing to worry about. The play ended, the lights went up, and Kurt searched the auditorium for Blaine, who said he would meet him there. When he came out, Kurt ran at him and tackled him in a hug. "You were amazing!" Kurt yelled.
Blaine smiled. "Thank you! I couldn't have done it without you," Blaine said. He leaned in and kissed his fiancée. "Let's go to the cast party. I hear Marley made her famous chocolate cake," Blaine said.
Kurt smiled. "You know I can never turn down cake," Kurt said. They laced their fingers together and went to join their friends at the cast party to celebrate the play.
