Beep beep beep beep
Blaine slammed his hand down on his alarm clock as its rang through his bedroom. 6:30pm the alarm read. As he sleepily sat up in his Queen sized bed he ran his hands through his sleep mused hair.
“Blainey you up?” A voice shouted from behind his door.
“No shut up!” Blaine retorted as his stood up and walked over to his slippers that were on the other side of the room, he was clad only in a pair of blue boxer shorts.
A booming force threw open the door into Blaines bedroom followed by a tall and attractive man with extremely blue eyes, “Thank God Dracula has finally awoken!”
Blaine jumped up in surprise and brought up his hands defensively to cover himself, “Coop! Im basically naked. Go away man!” He made a slight shooing motion with one of his hands.
“Not anything I havent seen before baby brother!” Cooper retorted with a cheeky wink in Blaines direction. “Anyway did you get enough beauty sleep Squirt?”
Blaine frowned and shook his head towards his brother as he spoke, “First of all eww and dont call me that and secondly you know that this happens when I work night shifts at the bar.” Blaine rubbed his hand over his face as he walked over to his closet to gather his uniform for the night.
The Hollywood club that Blaine worked at had another huge party on for the night. Some sort of promotional party thrown by some production agency of some big budget block buster. Blaine wasnt really interested in the details really when it came to this sort of thing. Most people would revel in the glitz and glam of Hollywood but Blaine didnt really care, most of the celebrities that he met and served at this sort of thing had been really obnoxious, pretentious and full of their own self worth. All in all it wasnt really his scene, although he supposed it was his own decision to move to Hollywood in the first place.
It all happened because Blaine and his father never really saw eye to eye, Blaine didnt know if it was because of his sexual orientation but he supposed it didnt really matter. There was never any violence in the Anderson house hold just a lot of awkward dinners where Blaines Mom would struggle to make conversation while Blaines father eyed him up over the table.
When Cooper still lived at home things were a lot easier because as much as he loved his brother Cooper was extremely obnoxious. This meant that throughout these dinners Cooper didnt seem to notice any awkward tension and made sure that all attention was on him, but then Cooper went to College. That just left Blaine, his Mom and his Dad at home together.
Then one day when Blaine was 19 he got a call from his brother saying he had decided that law at college wasnt for him and that he was moving to Los Angeles to become and actor. As much as Blaine scoffed at the idea Cooper did in fact land an advertisement sponsorship deal with a credit score company and in turn the company gave Cooper a two bedroom apartment to live in. Of course Cooper would never admit it but he was slightly lonely living L.A on his own and suggested to Blaine that he come and live with him. When the opportunity came to leave the awkwardness that was his father behind Blaine jumped at the chance and moved in with Cooper that very summer.
It had always been Blaines dream to become a singer so living in L.A had somewhat of an advantage as there were a lot of clubs and bars for Blaine to play in. One night whilst playing in a high end club called The Danger Dorm the clubs manager offered Blaine a night shift job bar tending and in return he would be payed and given a permanent slot to sing at any time during the day.
Blaine had been working at The Danger Dorm for 6 years now and it didnt seem that he would ever move forward in his job and would forever be waiting on the rich and famous. Blaine didnt mind though because he was an optimist and like his Mom always said “Good things come to those who wait”.
Cooper of course loved the fact that Blaine worked in such close quarters to the famous as in his mind this opened many doors for him.
“Always the hard worker. Blainey Ive been meaning to ask...”
Blaine holds his hand up to stop Cooper mind sentence, “No Cooper I will not give your DVD with all of your acting roles on it to anyone I meet tonight.”
“No please little brother!I promise Ill love you forever and Ill even give you some world class acting tips like about the pointing! Pointing can get you so far in life!” Cooper raised his hands in a praying motion towards his younger sibling.
Blaine, getting dressed, moved towards his brother, “If your pointing and your acting are so brilliant then why would I even need to help you get a job?” Blaine spoke as he finished buttoning up his oddly tight black shirt and pulling up his black pants.
“Good point Squirt, its just sometimes you need to get your foot in the door with these people.”
“Yeah all these shallow and self righteous people.” Blaine muttered under his breath.
“Please B will you do it?” Cooper pouted and gave the best puppy eyes that he could.
“Fine, but this is the first and last time.” Blaine acquiesced.
“Yes! You are the best little bro on the planet” Cooper shouted as he ran over to Blaine and gave him a loud kiss on the cheek. “Coop get off me youre like 35!” Blaine said begrudgingly as he pushed Cooper off of him.
“32”, Cooper corrected as he turned around to leave Blaines room, “But if anybody asks you tonight Im 28! The DVD is on the counter down stairs. I gotta go but Ill catch you later bro!” Cooper shouted through the doorway as he left.
“Yeah later man!” Blaine shouts back.
Left alone, Blaine gets ready quickly and heads off to work. By the time he arrives at the club things are just beginning to be set up for the nights events.
“Hey Blaine!” Blaines boss Richard shouts across the room as he sees the young hazel eyed man.
“Hey Rich, whats up? What times the party starting up at?” Blaine says as he waves.
“The lower down people on the guest list should be here in about an hour or so and the A-listers should be getting here about an hour after that. The guest list for tonight is crazy Blaine. We have Jennifer Lawrence, Benedict Cumberbatch, Beyonce, you name it theyre here!” Richard said without containing his excitement.
“Wow yeah youre right that is crazy.” Blaine returned with as much fake enthusiasm as he could summon, in his mind all these people were in fact just people.
“ Well you get to work and have a great night okay?” Richard placed a hand on Blaines shoulder before nodding and walking away to continue his own work.
As the night went on more and more people arrive at The Danger Den. Richard was right, Blaine thought, there were a lot of A-listers here tonight. Many entering the club with an heir of importance surrounding them. Blaine just didnt get it, they all seemed to want as much attention as they could get and it just kinda got a bit old in Blaines mind, all the fake people, fawning over one another. He wished more artists lived for their work as opposed to the attention that it brought.
Blaine just kept his head down as he continued to work behind the bar until he heard the screaming of paparazzi and fans outside of the club and then the adoring sighs of the celebrities in the club. He looked up and then walked in the most beautiful man that Blaine had even seen in his life, and his eyes continued to follow him around the room.
