Saturday evening arrived, and Kurt got himself ready for the party. It was a black tie event. Luckily, Kurt had a suit he could go in. He styled his hair before texting Tom to find out if he was ready. He walked out of his room to find Rachel waiting there with a camera.
"What are you doing?" he asked her as he walked to the living area.
"I need to get a picture before you go, to send your dad. Your first Broadway show party," Rachel said as she turned on the camera and lifted it in front of her face. Kurt did a little pose for the camera before putting his phone in his pocket. He quickly checked himself in the mirror and adjusted his skinny black tie. He felt his phone buzz and checked it to find it was Tom messaging him to say he was waiting outside the apartment building for him.
"Wish me luck," Kurt said as he hugged Rachel.
"You don't need it."
They got out of the taxi and looked at the building the party was taking place in. It was on the 20th floor. Kurt took out his ticket as he walked into the building and handed it to the security guard, who guided them to a lift. They both got in and pressed the button for the 20th floor.
"How you feeling?" Tom asked as he adjusted Kurt's tie.
"Nervous. But this is going to be amazing!" Kurt replied. Finally, the lift arrived, and the doors opened. Looking out, they could see a red carpet set up and some press taking interviews from the director and some of the main cast. Kurt handed his ticket to another security guard who then let them pass. The only way to get into the main hall for the party was to walk on the red carpet. Kurt put his left foot on first and a little sound of excitement left his mouth. He grabbed his phone from his pocket and took a picture of his foot on the carpet.
"What are you doing?" Tom asked as he started to pull Kurt along.
"First red carpet ever! I wanted to keep the moment I stepped on it forever."
"Aww, that's actually really sweet." Tom hugged Kurt before walking down the rest of the carpet.
"Wait. Can you take my picture of me on it?" Kurt asked as he handed his phone to Tom. Tom took a few pictures before giving it back to him.
They walked into a massive room that was full of people talking, dancing, and drinking. They walked over to a massive window. The view was amazing. It looked over Central Park. Tom walked over to the bar to get a few drinks. When he did, Blaine came over.
"Enjoying yourself, are you?" Blaine asked as he stopped opposite Kurt.
"Yeah, I am so far. You?"
"Yeah, it's ok, I guess. So are you here with anyone?" Blaine looked around to see if anybody was watching them.
"Yeah, my boyfriend, Tom. He's just over at the bar getting us a drink." Kurt replied as he waved to Tom.
"Oh. I see."
"What does that mean?" Kurt asked, unsure what to make of that reaction.
"Oh, nothing," Blaine said as he walked away from him and out of the room. Tom came rushing back to Kurt with two drinks in his hand.
"Was that?" he said as he passed Kurt his drink.
"Yep" Kurt took a sip of his drink before he and Tom moved to the dance floor and started to dance.
Three hours in, they were still on the dance floor. Kurt was enjoying himself so much, and had seen quite a few Broadway stars around the place.
"I'll be right back. Just need the loo."
Tom left the dance floor. He walked along a little walk way to the toilets and bumped into Blaine.
"OMG! You're Blaine Anderson!" Tom shouted to Blaine, who looked around to see if there was anyone else there.
"Yes. Yes, I am."
"I totally love you! I saw your last play, like, five times."
"Oh, wow. That's awesome."
"I'm Tom, by the way."
Tom leaned against the wall, blocking Blaine's way.
"It's nice to meet you, Tom. You're Kurt's boyfriend, right?"
"Maybe"
"Maybe?"
"Well, nothing is set in stone, is it?"
Blaine felt his heart stop for a second at Tom's reply. Tom moved forward as Blaine tried to back away.
"I mean, there is always something better. It's just waiting and seeing."
Blaine just wanted to slap him. Again he tried to get past, but Tom grabbed him and kissed him. Blaine pushed him off.
"What are you doing!? You have a boyfriend!" Blaine shouted at Tom, who just laughed and tried to kiss him again. Blaine pushed him away and stormed off.
Blaine walked into the hall, grabbing Kurt's arm and taking him off to the side.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asked, as he tried to get his arm free from Blaine's grip.
"Your boyfriend..." Blaine said stopping and looking into Kurt eyes.
"What about him?"
"He... he..." Blaine was just about to tell him when Tom came and joined them. Blaine looked at him. He really wanted to tell Kurt what just happened, but he couldn't. He grabbed Kurt's drink and downed it in one gulp before walking away.
"What's his problem?" Kurt asked Tom.
"No idea."
