To say Kurt was excited would be an understatement. Ecstatic maybe?
Well, what ever he was feeling he hasn't felt like it in a while.

Evanescence.
For some reason it feels surreal going to see a band he secretly loved as a teenager.
He may or may not still have their first album in his CD collection. But no one needs to know that little bit of information.

He woke up at 8am, unlike his usual arising time of 11am on weekends, but he needed to plan so much.
Namely, his outfit!
It had to be perfect, he could not turn up at Madison square gardens in something simple. It had to be...extravagant.
After about an hour long shower and an equally long moisturising routine he got to work.

It was 12pm and he still hadn't chosen what to wear. His closet looked like it had exploded with the amount of clothes on the floor.

He heard someone banging on his door, and he jumped up to check.
Once he composed himself enough for visitors, he swung the door open to find his girls all with bags of clothes and make-up boxes.

"KURT!" Roxie squealed,
"We need help deciding which clothes to wear and we also bought margaritas." She said with a wink.

Oh how he could never turn down a margarita.

"Oh, just come in you alcoholics! I'm struggling with my OWN outfit, so we can all help eachother." He said with a smile.

All girls beamed at him and entered with determination of a positive night.

Tonight WOULD be a goodnight.

Saturday Afternoon...

Blaine was getting annoyed.
Reed told him they had a surprise, but they didn't let slip all week!
He literally bribed Scott with a years worth of his baked cookies and they STILL didn't budge.

He hated surprises.
Simply because he remembers when his mum threw him a surprise 16th birthday party & all he can remember is beating up about 3 jocks with the help of some others because they tried crashed the party.
Surprises always went wrong.
They could NEVER go to plan.
Unless you knew what was going to happen, you'd fuck up some where along the lines of the person who's surprising you's route.

Still he waited around for the boys to show up, he had nothing better to do anyways.

Saturday evening...

Kurt and the girls were dressed, on a buzz and ready to leave at 6:45pm. The concert didn't start till half 7 so they strolled down stairs and all piled into a cab.
They arrived at madison square gardens at 7:05 so there weren't much of a cue.

Once they got inside the happiness was buzzing off all of them.
They all hugged eachother and the girls promised to meet Kurt outside when it was finished.

Kurt began moving towards the standing area where it was already half full. He could see the band setting up on stage.
He had to try his hardest to keep in the squeal that was willing to let lose.
He allowed himself to just lose himself in the atmosphere as he waited for it to start.

Saturday evening...

As soon as Reed and Scott come up to his and Thad's apartment they ordered him to get dressed, something stylish but not to formal.
Apparently where they were going was going to be busy, so 'best not to wear anything that might get ruined if you get trampled on' Scott had said, because Blaine's nerves about this surprise weren't high at all and now he has to get worried about being trampled on.

When he was ready and Thad gave him the fashion once over they were in a cab.
Reed whispered in the drivers ear where they wanted to be taken, much to Blaine's annoyance.

He was happy he knew New York so well, because he could easily recognize where they were going to go.
But nope, once again they had it covered as they put a blindfold on him.

The eventually pulled up and he was ushered out of the cab. Someone came up behind him and pulled the blindfold off.
He rubbed his eyes a bit to clear the blurring and when he had he literally screamed like a little girl...

"Oh. My. God! You brought me to an Evanescence concert!" He started jumping up and down and round in circles.
The boys just laughed him off and ushered him into Madison square gardens.
Evanescence had always been a favorite band of Blaine's and now he was going to watch them live, he couldn't believe it.

-...

The night was going amazing!
Kurt honestly forgot how talented the band were. Old and new songs blaring, people screaming, singing along and dancing. The atmosphere was electric!

The lead singer called to the fans saying there were only 2 songs left and both would be from their first album.

He let out an actual squeal and turned to high five some random girl who happily obliged.

As soon as the second to last song started playing, Kurt went into a slightly depressed mode.

'I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave,
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase'

Just after his senior year he must have listened to this song about 50 times and cried his eyes out each time. It reminded him of Connor.
How he left him and broke him.

He felt a tear fall down his cheek as he let the emotion of the song take over him...

'When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears.
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears.
And I held your hand through all of these years.
But you still have...all of me'

'Had' Kurt thought. He had all of Kurt. But not anymore. That part of Kurt's life finished many years ago and he was never replaying it.

The song come to an end and Kurt's depression lifted as he had the epiphany of not needing Connor in his life. No matter how much he had loved him, Kurt was way to good for him.

He looked up at the stage and heard them say ..

"Last song everybody. We're going back to the beginning. Our greatest song of all time..."

The last song started up and Kurt knew what it was straight away again.
He looked up and around to see everyone in a trance by the beautiful voice coming from the stage.
He turned to his right again and his eyes caught directly into a pair of hazel ones...

'How can you see into my eyes, like open doors? Leading you down into my core, where I've become so numb.'

If he weren't so shocked right now he'd probably laugh at how cliche the words were to what was happening.

-...
Blaine stared directly into the blue eyes, despite it being dark, it was like they were glowing...

'Wake me up
(Wake me up inside)
I can't wake up
(Wake me up inside)
Save me
(Call my name and save me from the dark)
Wake me up
(Bid my blood to run)
I can't wake up
(Before I come undone)
Save me
(Save me from the nothing I've become)'

Blaine's feet starting moving out of their own accord, in the direction of him.
In the direction of Kurt.

-...

He was watching Blaine manoeuvre through the crowd towards him and all he could do was stare.
He promised the girls he'd talk and that's what he would do.

'Frozen inside without your touch,
Without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead...'

'All this time, I can't believe I couldn't see.
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me!
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems,
Got to open my eyes to everything...
Without a thought, without a voice, without a soul
Don't let me die here...
There must be something more...
Bring me to lifeeeeee!'

He started moving himself, the song, the people, everyone, but Blaine blurred to him.

-...

The boys where about a foot away from eachother, the song still blaring around the arena, but neither cared.

'I've been living a lie, there nothing inside.
Bring me to lifeeeeee.'

The song finished, the crowed cheered and eventually it became quiet.

Neither knew what to do or say, but in their hearts they both knew someone had to speak first...both so scared, both so nervous...

"Hi, I'm Blaine."
"I-i, um, I'm Kurt."
