This is the last chapter of 'The Understudy' I'm very sad about ending it but this just feels like the right time BUT I will do a couple of spin off one shot stories. They will have The Understudy in the title and the title of the chapter so you will know which ones they are but again thank you so much. So all that's left for me to say is....enjoy!
Kurt’s first week was a blur. He had never been so busy in his life but he was loving every minute of it. He had been on a few TV shows with Blaine to promote the show which he found was both fun and scary but he was glad Blaine had gone on with him so he could explain why he had given up the role in person. Everything just felt right and he wouldn’t change it for anything.
The weekend had finally arrived and after a long day they had finally made it back to their apartment. Kurt was tired so he went straight to the bedroom to get changed while Blaine made some drinks. While the water was boiling he took out his phone. He had been looking for other apartments in the city, he had found one in the building just a couple of floors up. After making the drinks he walked into bedroom and sat next to Kurt on the bed.
“So I have been thinking” Blaine said as he pasted Kurt his drink before continuing.
“About moving to a bigger apartment, I’ve seen one in this building a couple of floors higher with a couple of guest rooms. I mean it’s up to you to but I feel like....well it’s a new me so maybe we should.....oh forget it, stupid Idea” Blaine said as he looked down at his coffee.
“No I think that’s a good idea.”
“Really?”
“Of course, it sounds like a brilliant idea” Kurt said as he lent over kissed him softly on the lips.
“I was thinking we could use the guest rooms to invite family over to stay.”
“What happened to them staying in a hotel?” Asked Kurt
“We can take a look at it tomorrow if you want” Blaine shrugged
“Brilliant”
3 Years Later
It was the night of Kurt’s final performance. He was sad to leave but he and Blaine had agreed it was the right time to go. Kurt sat on his own in the dressing room getting ready for the last time. Sitting in front of the mirror he remembered back to his first performance and how Blaine had given him his chance to shine in this room, on the very sofa at the side. It seemed like it was only yesterday that moment happened. He took a quickly look at all the cards he had received from his fellow cast mates and now fans. He still couldn’t get his head around having fans, he was so used to being on the other side. He quickly tweeted a thank you message as he heard a knock at the door.
“Come in” Kurt shouted as he put down one of the cards. In through the door came Rachel in a beautiful long red flowing dress that even made Kurt fall in love with her and she had a little baby bump that was just showing.
“How are you feeling?” Rachel asked as she closed the door behind her.
“Nervous” Kurt said as he twisted his chair around letting Rachel sit on his lap.
“I can’t believe it’s been 3 years” Rachel said as she looking down to her hand at the sliver engagement ring that was sitting pretty on it.
“You got a date for the wedding yet?” Kurt asked as he picked up her hand inspecting the ring. Finn had proposed two months earlier before they found out they were expecting. After leaving the army he started running his own garage in the city since he was pretty handy with cars.
“Nope not yet but we are thinking maybe late December early January just before it’s due date” Rachel said as she hugged him before continuing.
“I’m leaving the play in a couple of days I managed to sort it out my leave. Going to miss it but it will be there waiting for me after the birth.” Rachel said. Not long after Kurt had got his role Rachel had managed to score an audition for a big play, she had a feeling that maybe Blaine had helped her secure it but she was thankful to him.
“That’s great, you’re going to be an amazing Mommy” Kurt said as he placed his hand on the bump.
“You will be an amazing Dad one day” Rachel replied as she placed her hand over Kurt’s.
“I’ve never really thought about it. Maybe I mean if Blaine wants Kids.” Kurt mumbled.
“I think he totally wants them. He told me he wants to be called Uncle B and I caught him and Finn going through a magazine picking out stuff for the nursery.” Rachel & Kurt laughed.
“I mean yes I would. Anyways I’m going to be an uncle and that’s cool enough for now.” Kurt said as he kissed her cheek.
“I better go Finn will be wondering what’s taking me so long. He’ll think something bad has happened to me.” She said as she slowly got herself up with the aid of Kurt.
“But Kurt promise me one thing”
“Yes Rach?”
“Enjoy tonight.”
“Will do” Kurt said as he opened the door for her.
Blaine quickly opened the backstage door.
“I’m so glad you could make it” Blaine said as he rushed Kurt & Carol through the door hugging them both.
“Well I couldn’t miss our son’s last show” Burt said as he watched Carol hug Blaine.
“So have you, you know done it yet?” Carol asked as she released Blaine and watched him slowly reach into his pocket pulling out a little red box.
“No....what if he says no?” Blaine said as played with box, moving it from hand to hand.
“He won’t” Burt said as he grabbed Blaine’s shoulders.
“But what if he does” Blaine said as he put his head down scared. Burt twisted him around to face him.
“Look at me.....I know my son. He is head over heels in love with you. I can see it every time I’ve come down it’s in his eyes and it’s in yours. So you go up there and propose.” Burt said as Carol grabbed onto his hand. Blaine nodded before he led them to the foyer so they could take their seats. Blaine felt the palms of his hands getting sweaty. He slowly made his way to the dressing rooms before stopping at the door. He could hear Kurt warming up. Taking a deep breath he slowly knocked at the door. He quickly put his hand in his pocket just to check the box was still there. There was a sound as the door slowly opened to reveal Kurt who was now dressed up in his costume.
“Hey you” Kurt said as he pulled Blaine into the room.
“You got the roses then” Blaine said as he saw red and yellow roses standing on desk next to the mirror.
“There beautiful” Kurt replied as he kissed Blaine. Blaine took a gasp of air, this was it. He slowly grabbed hold of Kurt by the waist and brought him to the centre of the room.
“Kurt Hummel you are the love of my life, I think that you saved me from myself....”
“Blaine are you ok?”
“What I’m trying to say is well I can’t imagine my life without you.” He slowly got himself down on one knee and a little squeal came out of Kurt’s mouth as he watched him pull out a small red box. Kurt threw his hand over his mouth in shock.
“Kurt Hummel will you do me the honour of becoming my husband” Blaine said as he slowly opened the box to reveal a sliver ring which had a little red heart rock inserted into it.
“Of course I will Blaine” Kurt said as he jumped down hugging Blaine before whispering in his ear.
“I love you so much Blaine.” Blaine quickly jumped grabbing Kurt by the hips and spinning him around. He put him down before they kissed again. None of them wanted to break the kiss and none of them bothered to stop when the stage hand had wondered in to tell Kurt he had 10 minutes but walked back out when he saw what was happening. Eventually Kurt broke the kiss but he was still so close to his face. Blaine could feel his warm breath on his cheek.
“I don’t want to go on I want to be here with you.” Kurt said as he started to kiss Blaine’s neck making Blaine moan his name.
“No Kurt” Blaine said in as he tried to get his breath back.
“You need to go on stage, your fans are waiting.” He said as he watched Kurt nod his head and slowly pull away.
“I will be in the audience like always ok” Blaine said as he kissed Kurt’s cheek before heading towards the door. He quickly turned back and winked at him before exiting the room. Kurt ran back to the mirror checking himself over, damn he had a hickey. He quickly put on some makeup covering over the spot before checking one last time.
He left the dressing and made his way slowly up the stage, the memories of him doing this for the first time flashing in his mind as he heard the sound of audience talking.
“Good luck” Said a stage hand who pasted him.
“Thanks” Kurt replied as he saw the audience lights slowly dim. He quickly walked out to his starting spot. He took a quick glimpse to the audience seeing if he could see Blaine but it was too dark. The music that had graced his ears for the last three years started and the lights slowly started to glow. His last performance was about to begin.
