Kurt was carefully folding his clothes and placing them in the huge suitcase that was laying on his bed. He was going to judges house.

It still seemed so unreal that he had already come this far. His heart still did that little flutter when he started thinking about it.

And then there was all the response he had received on his response.

It had been overwhelming if he was 100 % honest, but it was the best kind of overwhelming.

A soft smile spread on his lips as he remembered how Finn had run into his room the day after it was aired on the television, holding his phone in front of him and shouting to him excitedly that he should take a look.

He hadn't counted into how many newspapers and magazines he has been mentioned, but the amount of attention on his performance felt amazing.

And it hadn't stopped there. Days after it had aired, the views on the video of his performance had gone up so fast that it didn't even went unnoticed abroad and overseas.

It was so weird but so amazing at the same time.

Kurt had kept every article he could find and printed every article people had send to him on his twitter account, which he had made for the show.

There were even articles in languages he didn't understand but when he asked to the people who send them what they meant, he knew it was ok.

He placed the last piece of clothing in his bag and checked once more if he had everything.

It would be weird, being away from home for a week. Yet he knew there was so much to learn there.

He had watched every episode that had already aired together with his dad, Carole and Finn. There had been artists he didn't like and there had been artists he had liked a lot.

It made him a little nervous while watching, seeing some very big talent go through. But still, he was one of them and he knew he deserved it to be there.

He zipped up his bag and started dragging it down the stairs, knowing he had only a few minutes left before he was going to need get going.

His mind started wondering what it would be like in judges house, having to go through a small boot camp where they learned a few dance moves and learned how to use their voices even more perfect.

It was also the perfect moment to get to know a few other artists better, whether they were going through or not.

He took a picture from his bags and put it on his Instagram page. Ready for judges houses, keep your fingers crossed for me!

Immediately he started getting replies of good lucks and support messages, which made him chuckle.

It was so strange that people would actually follow him!

His dad walked out of the kitchen and started leaning against the doorway. “You ready kiddo?”

Kurt nodded in response, “Yeah, I think I have everything packed.”

“Not to nervous,” his dad grinned.

“Only a little,” chuckled Kurt, “But I'm sure I'll be fine. Now dad, you need to look after what you eat, even when I'm not here.  You need to not work too hard and rest enough.”

Burt started laughing. “I know kiddo, I have Carole for that and you know it. Don't you worry too much! And keep us updated, ok?”

Kurt stepped forward and hugged his dad tightly. “I will dad. I'm just worried and you know it. I'll see you in a week?”

His dad nodded, “yeah, I'll see you in a week kiddo.”

Kurt rolled his bag outside and stepped into his car. He had two hours to ride to the airport, but it would be so worth it.

Kurt started smiling when he took his first step on Los Angeles ground. It was so weird being here.

Even if it would only be for a week, he knew it would be worth it.

Kurt texted his dad to let him know he had safely landed before he started making his way towards baggage claim.

His bag was one of the last to arrive, which almost gave him a panic attack. Relieve filled his body when he noticed the familiar bag come closer.

He took it carefully of the band and started making his way towards the exit.

An older balding man was standing there, waiting for him while holding a paper which had neatly written his name on it.

“I'm Kurt,” he said as he held out his hand for the man to shake.

“Bob,” the man said as he shook his hand. He was leaded out of the building by Bob who told him only that he was going to be transported to a nearby hotel.

There he would be getting paired up with one other person, which who he would need to share a room.

Bob also mentioned there would be a schedule there with everything he needed to know.

The ride passed quickly as Bob told him some stories about the past few years he had worked for America's newest sensation.

He told him about the people who were kind and the people who were the total opposite about the show.

It was actually a nice way of not making Kurt worry.

He was worried though about his roommate. What if it was someone who didn't like he was gay, which was quite obvious. What if it was someone who was just not nice in general?

His worries ended when they stopped in front of the hotel.

He thanked Bob for the ride and the stories before he started unloading the trunk and stepped inside the hotel.

He was ready for this new adventure.

His room was on the first floor. He walked inside it and noticed the two separate beds and the bedroom next to it.

It wasn't a big room but Kurt expected that would be where they would be staying if they got through.

Besides, it was huge enough for the little time they would spend there.

Kurt looked towards the two beds. He really didn't know which bed the other person would want.

He shrugged and placed his bag on the nearest bed.

Carefully he started unfolding a few pieces that couldn't be left in his suitcase and started hanging them into the small wardrobe.

Kurt didn't know how long he had been working on his clothing when he heard a click on the other side of the door.

The door opened slowly as a guy who was humming under his breath stepped inside the room.

The guy jumped a little when he noticed Kurt standing there.

“Oh you must be the roommate,” he said with a dazzling smile, “I'm Blaine, Blaine Anderson.”

Kurt was gaping at the guy and he knew it. He was gorgeous. The guy, Blaine, was a little on the short side but looked muscled. He had the most beautiful black curls Kurt had ever seen. And then there were those eyes. He was sure he wouldn't be able to get them out of his mind for the next few weeks.

Blaine chuckled a little shyly, “I remember you, Kurt was it, right,” he asked as he tried to get Kurt to stop staring.

Kurt shook his head a little. “Euhm, yeah, I'm Kurt, Kurt Hummel. It's nice to meet you,” he said as he shook Blaine's hand.

“I watched your audition,” Blaine said as he walked towards the empty bed and placed his suitcase on it. “I was very impressed.”

Kurt blushed a little. “I wish I could say something about your audition, but I don't think I've seen it,” he said almost ashamed.

“Oh don't worry,” grinned Blaine, “It is about to air this week.”

Kurt chuckled, feeling relieved, “that must be it.”

Blaine chuckled along as he unzipped his suitcase and started unloading like Kurt.

“I've kept some closet space free,” said Kurt with a wave towards the closet, “I hope it's enough.”

Blaine looked towards the closet and nodded his head, “Yeah definitely enough.”

Kurt took a seat on the bed as he watched Blaine unload his suitcase.

It wasn't an uncomfortable silence which was a huge relieve to Kurt. He could actually see himself being friends with this guy.

“Tell me something more about yourself,” said Kurt with a soft smile.

Blaine turned towards him from where he was standing hanging clothes on hangers. “What do you want to know,” he asked with a silly grin on his face.

“I don't know,” said Kurt as he grinned back to Blaine, “Maybe you should tell me something about your audition as you already know about mine.”

Blaine chuckled, “that would be fair but would oh so ruin the surprise.”

Kurt pouted a little at that which made Blaine chuckle even harder, “I'm here with my 2 best friends, Jeff and Nick. And don't laugh, we are not the typical boyband,” he said with an eye roll.

Kurt actually laughed a little at that. “I bet you guys are great.”

“You haven't seen us yet,” reminded Blaine playfully.

“That's true, but since you are here, you must be great,” he said playfully back.

Blaine actually laughed at that, “Oh I don't know, I've seen some things go through the past few weeks where I thought, how did this happen.”

“You are talking about that guy with the pink pants, right?” Kurt asked with excitement in his eyes.

And just like that all his worried flew away.

They stayed like that for the rest of the evening.

Kurt knew one thing for sure, he made his first new friend and he wouldn't want it any other way.
