"HEAR NO EVIL"
Sue, Brittany, Kurt
There had been a number of ideas going through Kurt’s head as Brittany laid out the details of this ‘golden opportunity.’ Many of them involved picturing his eventual and illustrious career on the Broadway stage. He could see it all in his head… the breakthrough role, his first Tony, a string of increasing successes and increasing awards, a serious turn… or comedic, depending on which direction he’ll have taken… and before long he’d be a legend, looked up to by kids just like…
His head turned, looking at the walking-talking-dictating competition that was Rachel Berry, and all of a sudden each of those dreams disappeared, bubbles burst… He knew in an instant that, if it came down to one spot, and they were both there, Rachel would have her name called and he’d get the terribly-sorry-maybe-next-time fake smile and end up right back where he’d started. He knew his talent, he believed there was a place for him… so long as he didn’t have to compete for that spot with her… He’d been down that road. So instantly, when he saw Brittany was about to let Rachel know, he’d intercepted.
Now there he was, action accomplished, with the paper in his pocket, and the choice was all his. He could do as his previous action indicated and just… keep it to himself, the better to increase or improve his chances at making it, but then… He could tell her, too. There was a reason there was such a threat in having her there, maybe… maybe this was all meant to be her shot…
He couldn’t ignore it though, he wanted it to be his shot, and she’d make it impossible, he just knew it. Maybe others wouldn’t understand it, but he did… So the paper - and the information - would remain in his possession.
He had to wonder though, if it’d come that it’d be out in the open… Brittany knew, after all, and she was something of a wildcard as far as holding the information to herself. For the next few days, he could feel it, how he was on edge, keeping his eye on all these factors. He hated having to keep it in, from some more than from others, but in his mind it still came off as something of a necessity.
He’d have to miss Glee practice that day, to make the audition. He had to sneak off without any of them seeing him go. They’d ask questions, of course they would. If he didn’t have to lie to them, he’d prefer it that way, really. It was always better to keep the lying to a minimum, personally or otherwise.
He’d ducked into the bathroom, hid away for a while, counting for his time. When it finally came, he scrambled off… He’d made it. So now it was time to head to his audition.
It wasn’t too crowded, actually… it was just him, and a man sitting at a desk. Kurt was interviewed, asked to show what he could do. So he’d sang, danced. He was complimented and told they’d call if he was retained… As he’d left the office, Kurt wasn’t sure how to qualify this afternoon. There was something strange about the man, not to the point where he didn’t feel safe, but still… Eventually he’d just let it go, though. What really mattered at this point was waiting on the call… They had to say yes, they had to…
Returning to school, he hadn’t seen Brittany following the cheerleading coach, behind him. Later on though, he’d run into the Cheerio, and she’d ask him about the audition. “You went, right? With Rachel…” Kurt sat up.
“She, uh, I think she went, I wouldn’t know,” he hoped she’d leave it there, but of course…
“Good, you deserve it. Probably good to keep it to yourself.” He nodded slowly, looking about… Mercedes sat behind him, hearing all and staring back at him.
