He pulled out his megaphone and clicked it on, “All right everyone; meet me on stage right away. Traditions must be kept!”

He stood beside Connor and took his hand; everything had become less awkward between the two when Kurt admitted that he couldn’t possibly string him along when he was trying to fix things with his ex-boyfriend. Connor was hurt at the, but he realized that being in a one-sided relationship would just hurt him in the end.

Kurt looked across the circle towards Blaine. He smiled as he watched him interact with his cast mates before he grabbed their hands. He looked back across the circle at Kurt. They shared a small smile. Kurt felt a blush cross his features when he saw something twinkle in Blaine’s eyes.

“Uh, Kurt…” Connor nudged his friend in the side, “you going to talk any time soon?”

Kurt caught himself and flashed a smile at the group, “Alright guys, it looks like we’ve finally made it!” Murmurs of agreement rang throughout the circle, “It has been such a pleasure to work with all of you these past couple of months, but I’m also grateful for each new addition to our cast as well. These next three weeks will be hectic, so let’s make the most of it.”

Kurt left the circle to let everyone continue conversing and began to make his way through the theatre to the front lobby where the newest pack of musical theatre-goers were waiting to get their seats. He greeted each person with his usual enthusiasm until he was staring into a pair of striking Tyndall blue eyes that were staring right through him; he could feel his heart dropping.

The man smirked at him and began working his way towards the terrified director, stopping directly in front of him he said, “Hello Kurt.”

“Cooper.” Kurt breathed.

“Fancy seeing you here, I thought you and Blaine had broken up quite a bit ago.” Cooper was suspicious, but he kept his smile up.

“I’m the director of the show, your brother just happened to be signed up for the next three weeks.” Kurt explained trying to keep what happened between the two the last month as far away from Cooper’s watchful eyes as he could.

Cooper raised his eyebrows, “Well good for you then. How is my brother doing?”

Kurt’s smile softened as he pictured Blaine getting ready for the performance, “Fantastic, he is such a good addition to this musical. I’m glad that my last three weeks will be working with him.”

“What do you want with my brother, Kurt?” Cooper finally asked, folding his arms together across his chest.

Kurt frowned, “I could ask you the same question.”

Cooper winced at the comment, “Wow, that’s really low coming from someone who breaks up with people over the phone.”

“Says the guy who got married in Vegas to a transvestite,” Kurt countered. Cooper’s laugh came out like a trumpet.

“Touch�.”

“Why are you here, Cooper?” Kurt asked.

Cooper sighed and ran a quick hand through his hair, “I came to see my brother in his first Broadway production. Why did you break up with my brother?”

Kurt hesitated, “It’s complicated,” he sighed, “if I had an actual reason that didn’t sound so stupid and self-absorbed, I would tell you.”

“What are you going to do then?”

“What?”

“How are you going to fix it?”

“I’ve tried, and honestly, it’s his turn now.” Kurt explained.

“Are you willing to wait while he makes up his mind?” Cooper asked.

“He waited for me, now it’s my turn.”

“Just don’t break his heart, alright?” Cooper went a bit closer to Kurt and enveloped him in a tight hug.

Kurt nodded and hugged back, “Only if you promise to do the same.”

“Kurt!” Blaine exclaimed as he ran through his cast mates towards the glasz eyed man who was just turning to face him.

He collided with a very surprised Kurt and smiled happily. Kurt smiled back and sighed in relief, “You did amazing Blaine!”

Blaine was positively beaming, his first time on a big time Broadway stage and he got to share it with the people he had been so close with throughout the years, “I did it, Kurt! I finally feel like I’ve made it in this world!”

Kurt smiled as Blaine released him from the hug, “You made it in this world way before you stepped foot on that stage.”

Blaine blushed and rubbed the back of his neck, “Thanks, that really means a lot coming from the amazing Kurt Hummel.”

“No problem.” Kurt smiled and began looking around, “Speaking of problems, where did your brother go?”

“He had to go when the performance ended. He got called in for an emergency case that had to be dealt with right away.” Blaine said. He wasn’t going to act happy that he had seen his brother, but he wasn’t that disappointed. He had learnt to deal with disappointment once he got to New York; he had gone through so much of it that it just came as second nature to him.

“Are you ready to meet your adoring fans?” Kurt asked, wrapping an arm around Blaine’s shoulders as they continued walking.

“Adoring fans, what are you talking about?” Blaine stated curiously. Kurt opened the back door and was greeted with harsh winds and about 30 screaming fans waiting for the chance to meet Blaine Anderson.

Connor, who was already outside, turned around and waved them out, “Come on you guys, best get out here before everyone decides they don’t want to wait in the cold anymore!”

Blaine smiled and made his way outside, quickly signing as many things as he could and taking pictures with 20 people at a time. Kurt watched silently, leaning against the back door in a calm manner. He was surveying the situation, making sure nothing was getting out of hand.

“So you and Anderson, huh?” A very suave voice said from beside him.

He turned around and stood face to face with a one, Sebastian Smythe. He visibly shuddered. Though he didn’t dislike Sebastian anymore, he wasn’t particularly fond of being around the boy. He plastered on a smile, “Not for quite awhile. You would know Sebastian.”

Sebastian laughed and stared quite loudly at Connor, “Who’s the gorgeous blond residing by Blaine?”

“His name is Connor, why?” Kurt asked, staring openly at Sebastian. He was quite suspicious at the smirky meerkats expression. Something about it made his skin crawl, but in a good was he couldn’t quite place. Like he was happy that somebody had taken an interest in the otherwise emotionally available Connor. “Do you think he’s cute?”

Sebastian looked back towards Kurt, “Oh please, Kurt. If he was just cute, I wouldn’t be waiting her after his autograph session to get a personal one of my own.”

With one last look at Kurt, Sebastian disappeared into the crowd.
