"Thank you," Kurt added as he left the stage.

Blaine blew a kiss for him and quietly clapped his hands together.

Kurt had done it! Blaine was so proud of him!

Rachel got up from her seat next to him to go backstage to prepare for her audition. Blaine quickly followed her.

When they got to the hallway that led to the stage door, Kurt was already coming out of it, still in his gold pants.

He and Rachel exchanged a hug with a quick "Good job" and "Good luck."

Blaine was bouncing on his feet by the time Rachel had gone through the door and Kurt turned to face him.

Kurt's face broke into a huge smile and Blaine laughed with excitement and ran over to scoop him up in a big hug, twirling him a bit.

"You did it! You did it, Kurt!" he set him down, "You were amazing!"

They smiled at each other for a moment before Kurt crashed their lips together. It could barely be called a kiss, however, because both of them couldn't stop smiling.

They pulled apart and tears started falling down Blaine's face.

"Blaine, are you crying?" Kurt said, still giddy with excitement.

"I'm so proud of you, Kurt." Blaine said softly.

Kurt wiped some of the tears on Blaine's face with his thumb.

"I didn't get in yet."

"She loved you! You're a shoo-in after that audition. You've always been a shoo-in in my opinion."

Kurt smiled, "I – I just can't believe it!"

"Well believe it! You're going to New York, mister!" Blaine leaned forward and touched their foreheads together. "Nothing's gonna stop you," he breathed.

Kurt pulled back and looked into Blaine's eyes for a few moments.

"I love you," he said simply.

Blaine smiled, "I love you, too."

Blaine's excitement pulsed through him again. He pulled Kurt into another tight hug.

"Ahh! I'm so excited for you!" Kurt laughed at him. Blaine set him down and said, "Come on, let's go watch Rachel's audition. I'm sure she'll be amazing too."

Blaine took Kurt's hand and pulled him back towards the auditorium door.
