You make me feel like I'm living a teenage dream
Blaine was awoken by the sound of his phone ringing. He was planning to ignore it, but then he actually heard the ringtone. Kurt was calling.
"mmmm. Hey"
"Oh my god, Blaine! I got it!" Kurt almost yelled while completely ignoring his obviously sleepy boyfriend.
Blaine sat up and tried to wake himself up. Had he heard Kurt correctly? Kurt actually had a role on Broadway?
"I'm sorry. You just woke me up. Did I hear that right?"
"If you heard that I now have a role on Broadway, you have heard correctly!" Kurt exclaimed. Even through his tired state, Blaine could tell Kurt was excited and he had every right to be.
"Oh my god!" Blaine said, now fully awake. "Which role? When's opening night?"
Kurt laughed as Blaine continued to ramble off questions.
"Blaine, calm down."
"I'm sorry, but this is really exciting!"
"I know and you haven't even heard which role it is yet."
"That's because you won't tell me!"
"I'm trying, but I need you to be relatively calm," Kurt explained.
"Ok," Blaine said as he took a deep breath. "I'm calm. Can you tell me now?"
"Boq from Wicked!"
Blaine just sat there in shock. Wicked was one of Kurt's favorite shows, and now he was going to be able to be a part of it.
"Blaine! Say something."
"I really don't even know what to say. I'm so proud and happy for you right now."
"Thank you. I still can't believe it."
"Hey, kiddo. How's it going?" Burt asked.
"Everything is just fantastic," Kurt said.
"Oh, and why is that?"
"I got a call this morning about a role."
"So does that mean you have to keep auditioning or do you have a part or what?" Burt asked because really, he didn't have a clue how anything on Broadway worked, and if it wasn't for Kurt would have even less knowledge than he already did.
"It means I actually have a role on Broadway."
"Wait, what?"
"I finally got something!"
"Oh my god, Kurt. I told you that you could do it." Kurt could hear the pride and joy in his father's voice.
"I know you did, Dad. And I really have to say thank you. For everything."
"That's my job, Kurt. So what role is it?"
"Boq from Wicked."
"Isn't Wicked the show you've been obsessed with for years?" Burt asked. Burt had issues keep track of all Kurt's things, specifically the fashion designers and names of the musicals.
Kurt laughed. "Yes, dad."
"Kurt, I'm so happy for you. This is amazing. You know me and Carole will be there."
"Thanks, dad."
"So, Kurt. How are rehearsals?" Blaine asked.
"Exhausting and demanding and super intense, but it is totally worth it."
"Well, it sounds like you're having fun though."
"I am. I wouldn't trade this for anything," Kurt said.
"As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters, right?"
"Yeah. But what about you? What's new with you?"
"Just rehearsing for glee club and homework. Nothing really exciting."
"What about college?" It was the one question that Kurt really wanted to know, specifically to know if Blaine was coming to New York next year.
"I've applied to a few schools, and have heard back from most of them."
"And?"
"I got in to NYU."
"But, are you going to go there?"
"I don't think so," Blaine said.
"Oh," Kurt said quietly. Of course Kurt was disappointed, but he still had to support Blaine in whatever he wanted to do. Especially considering how supportive Blaine had been through the entire NYADA process and now with everything going on with Broadway and the auditions. "So, um, where are you looking at going then?"
"What do you think about Colombia?" Blaine asked.
"Are you kidding me?"
"About getting into Colombia?"
"Not really, but you say you're not going to go to NYU and I get all upset because I think that that means that you aren't going to be here in New York next year, only to find out that my boyfriend is coming to New York, he just has to tell me in a cruel way," Kurt said as Blaine laughed.
"I told you at the end of your junior year that I was on board for coming to New York with you. Nothing has changed. And now after spending these couple months away from you, I've decided that I really don't want to have to do that again, and it's not like you can exactly move to a different city."
"That's true, but you're sure about this?" Kurt asked. He really didn't want Blaine to do something that he thought he was going to regret later.
"Absolutely positive."
"Still for an English major?"
"As of right now, that's still the plan."
"Can I just say that I'm really proud of you and that I can't wait until next year?"
"Thank you and I can't wait either."
"I'm just really frustrated, dad."
"I know, kiddo, but it's part of life. I think right now, you are just really stressed out right now," Burt said.
"I know."
"Did you think about quitting your job?"
"Yeah, I've thought about it, and I know I'm going to have to once the show starts, but I haven't actually quit it yet."
"When do you think you're going to quit? Because honestly, Kurt, I think you need to do it soon."
"I know I do, and I definitely plan to. I just can't keep up with both rehearsals and working, but the issue is just the money. I have enough to keep going on my rent and everything else for awhile, but it's going to be hard without that extra money for awhile."
"But, soon you'll be getting your checks from the shows, and everything will be ok in the end."
"Yeah, it's just a matter of getting to that point. But I'll probably quit that job in a week or two. I just can't keep going like this for much longer. It's impossible."
"Everything will work out fine. It will get easier."
Especially next year when Blaine is here, Kurt thought. He still hadn't told his dad that he and Blaine planned to move into an apartment together next year. And in reality, that could be put off a little longer.
