Author's Notes:

Ill update when I can!

The song Blaine sang was Superheros by The Script and Kurts was Boy next Door by Hugh Jackman.


He and Kurt spent the next few days filling in papers and sending them in to NYADA making sure that all the information was there.

A couple days after that Kurt came running into the hotel room holding two letters practically jumping on him as he laid on top of the bed.

"Blaine, theyre from NYADA," Kurt said bouncing on his knees.

"Yeah?" He said Kurt handing him the one with is name on it.

"Im scared, what if I dont even get an audition?" Kurt said suddenly the excitement draining from him.

"Im sure you will honey," he said placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Will you open your letter first?" Kurt asked and he nodded sitting up to place a kiss on Kurts forehead.

"Of course," he replied and he started to open his letter.

He pulled the paper out of the envelope and read the first sentence feeling his face light up as he read that he had got an audition.

"I got an audition," he said not wanting to make a big deal out of it just in case, he had faith in Kurt he knew that he would get in.

"Thats great Blaine!" Kurt said pulling him into a hug.

"Thank you, but it means nothing unless you get an audition too," he said and Kurt leaned back giving him a frown.

"What do you mean?" Kurt said and he looked to the floor before back into Kurts eyes.

"If you dont get in Im not going," he said simply.

"Blaine... If I dont get in I still want you to go," Kurt said and he shook his head.

"No way," he said. "Just open the letter, I dont want to argue about this," he pouted and Kurt pouted back.

"Fine," Kurt said and slowly pealed the letter open. He pulled out the letter and his heart started to beat fast.

Kurt looked down at the letter and read silently his face blank.

"Kurt?" He asked and Kurt looked up at him.

"I got an audition to," Kurt said a smile spreading on his face and he leaped on Kurt engulfing him in a tight hug.

"I knew you would! Im so proud of you!" He said and Kurt giggled kissing him on the neck.

He pulled himself off Kurt and took a second look at his letter. "Shit," he said looking at the date of when the audition was before looking at Kurts. He was glad that they had their auditions on the same day back to back.

"What?" Kurt said looking worried.

"Kurt the auditions are in three days," he said and Kurt nodded.

"Yeah, they normally want you to be the best meaning not too much time to practice, that wont be a problem for you babe youre amazing," Kurt said and he smirked pecking Kurt on the lips.

"Youre amazing," he said with a smile pulling Kurt down on the bed kissing him and holding him tight.

...

He spent every moment that he could practicing but he only sang when he was alone wanting his audition to be a surprise for Blaine.

Blaine knew that he needed his privacy to sing so he would go on walks and go to collect lunch.

They hadnt heard from Steve of Jess which was good and as Blaine had said she admitted to that she had done. He couldnt even look at the balcony and they kept the curtain shut hiding it.

It had been all over the news for a couple of days though the reason of her going to jail hadnt been leaked. Hed hated that she was being plastered all over the news titled Blaines ex-girlfriend, he wanted nothing more to set that right.

As the days passed the more worried he got about his song choice, if he was hitting the notes right and if he should even bother at all. He knew how hard it was to get into NYADA but it was Blaine who kept him going, Blaine made sure that he went out more often even if it was to just wander around the hotel so he could practice reminding him that he was going to be amazing.

He felt stressed as audition day came, it came so quickly and soon they were jumping into a taxi heading to NYADA.

His hands were shaking.

"Are you ok Hun?" Blaine asked taking his shaking hand.

"Nervous," was all he trusted himself to say. He felt sick, his stomach turning and twisting as they got closer.

"Babe, I bet youll be amazing," Blaine said making him feel a little better. Blaine always knew how to make him feel better.

"I love you," he said resting his head on Blaines shoulder.

"I love too babe," Blaine replied.

As they pulled into the parking lot of NYADA he tightened the grip on Blaines hand. He knew that Blaines audition was first which made him feel a little better, he would get to watch Blaine perform before he performed himself.

At least hed know what its like.

They walked into the building looking for the audition room, there were clear signs leading them to the side of the stage where they had to wait.

They could hear someone singing from where they were standing but they couldnt see anything, the singing was amazing and he closed his eyes taking a brief breath.

He was clinging onto Blaine arm for dear life, he didnt know what to expect and his heart felt like it was going to beat out of his chest.

"Im so proud of you Kurt, whatever happens," Blaine said and he held onto him a little tighter.

"Blaine Anderson". Someone called and Blaine gave him a small smile as he detached himself.

"I love you Blaine, you go blow their minds," Kurt told him as Blaine gave him one more smile before walking out onto the stage. He followed to just beside of the stage so he could get a good look at Blaine watching intently.

…..

He didnt know how nervous he was until he stepped out onto the stage, it suddenly became so real. He could see the judges glaring at him, seeing right through him.

"So Blaine, Ive listened to your music, why are you auditioning for NYADA if you have already made it in the industry?" A woman asked him and though he couldnt see them properly due to the stage lights he tried to make eye contact.

"I want to improve myself in many ways, theres a lot more I can learn and I think that this is the best place to do it," he said.

"Ok, go ahead," the woman continued and he couldnt tell if his answer was good or not.

He walked to the back of the stage and picked up an acoustic guitar before walking to the middle of the stage where the microphone stood.

He closed his eyes briefly before beginning his song.

All her life she has seen
All the meaner side of me
They took away the prophets dream for a profit on the street

Now shes stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

All his life hes been told
Hell be nothing when hes old
All the kicks and all the blows
He wont ever let it show

Cause hes stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

He took a quick a glance at Kurt giving him a small smile before facing back to the judges.

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been struggling to make things right
Thats how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been working every day and night
Thats how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

All the hurt, all the lies
All the tears that they cry
When the moment is just right
You see fire in their eyes

Cause hes stronger than you know
A heart of steel starts to grow

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been struggling to make things right
Thats how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been working every day and night
Thats how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

He made sure that he was putting his heart into his performance, he wanted to do his best not just for himself but for Kurt. He needed to do this for him. After Jess had pushed him one of the things he thought about as he fell was that if he survived the fall he would take every good opportunity that was given to him.

Shes got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
Hes a got a beast in his belly
Thats so hard to control
Cause theyve taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode

Shes got lions in her heart
A fire in her soul
Hes a got a beast in his belly
Thats so hard to control
Cause theyve taken too much hits
Taking blow by blow
Now light a match, stand back, watch them explode

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been struggling to make things right
Thats a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been working every day and night
Thats a how a superhero learns to fly
Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Oh, yeah...

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

Ooh, yeah
Whoa

Every day, every hour
Turn the pain into power

When youve been fighting for it all your life
Youve been struggling to make things right
Thats how a superhero learns to fly

He finished and look up at the judges, they were scribbling in their notebooks like he wasnt even there.

"Thank you Blaine, youll receive a letter in a few days," a man spoke up for the first time.

He gave a small nod and walked back towards the edge of the stage where Kurt looked somewhere in-between excited and terrified.

"You were amazing!" Kurt said and he gave him a kiss on the forehead. "How am I going to follow that?" Kurt said suddenly in panic.

"Kurt, youre going to be amazing and even if they cant see that, which they will, I will never stop seeing it," he said and Kurt looked him in the eyes.

"Kurt Hummel," the voice called and he gave Kurt a peck on the lips before letting him go.

Kurt walked out onto the stage and they asked him why he wanted to go to NYADA.

"This school is everything, its what I need to succeed and I want nothing more than to study here," Kurt answered and he smiled. They told him that he could sing and he leaned against the wall looking out at Kurt as he began his song.

Comin home used to feel so good
Im a stranger now in my neighbourhood
Ive seen the world at a faster pace
And Im comin now from a different place

His mouth fell open as soon as Kurt started to sing, he was amazing. He knew that he was amazing already but the confidence that was suddenly run through him made him perfect.

Though I may look the same way to you
Underneath there is somebody new

I am not
The boy next door
I dont belong
Like I did before
Nothin ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you cant have me

Oh, I cant come back there anymore
Cause I am not the boy next door

Youve been savin those souvenirs,
Faded photographs from our foolish years
We made plans, but theyre wearin thin
And they dont work out cause I dont fit in

And those memories will just weigh me down
Cause I got no place to keep em uptown

He was mesmerised by Kurt performance, they were crazy if they didnt let him in. Kurt was born for the stage, he looked like he belonged.

I am not
The boy next door
I dont belong
Like I did before
Nothin ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, but you cant have me

Oh, I cant go back there anymore
Cause I am not the boy next door, uh!

Im not sorry for just bein me
But if youd look past the past you could see
That I am not (I am not the boy next door)

Nothin ever seems like it used to be
You can have your dreams, oh, but you cant have me
I cant go back there anymore
Cause I am not (You are not)
I am not (You are not)
I am not the boy next door

Kurt sang his last note and he had to try with all his might not to clap ecstatically. The judges told Kurt what they had told him and Kurt walked back towards him.

His arms were already out wide ready for a hug and Kurt ran into them.

"You were so great Kurt! I cant even explain how good that was!" He said holding Kurt tight, he was so proud of him.

"Thank you, you have no idea what that means coming from you," Kurt said and he tucked his head into Kurts shoulder.

"Youre going to make it big someday Kurt, I know it," he said and he could feel Kurt smile without even looking at his face.
