Guest: thanks! I'm really glad you like the name. Maybe Sebastian will fall for him. I missed the episodes that Biff is in so I have some catching up to do but he'll stick around for a while at least. I haven't decided on who wins yet so there's still a chance.

Guest: thanks. I hope I can give this story a similar feeling to Glee episodes, expect less random.

I actually got the first rose ceremony happening so soon off of someone's Bachelorette AU so sorry if this doesn't happen on the Bachelor. I really needed to thin out some of the guys though because this is going to be too difficult to write otherwise. The stage is here because it was in the previous chapter and I don't know why I had a stage in the previous chapter.

Kurt took a breath. Someone from the show had gone over this before he had even been flown out to appear on the show. It was all about playing things up for the audience. He should have some pauses they could play music over, if he looked nervous that was all the better for ratings, he could talk about the choices a bit. It made the whole thing feel rather cheap. Kurt didn't believe in shows like this but he liked the illusion.

"I have had a lot of fun tonight," Kurt said, his smile easy even though his mind wasn't. He looked over at the audience. "I'm sorry that not some of you will be sent home tonight."

"Adam Crawford," Kurt announced. He took a rose from the podium, making an unnecessary show of it as he did so. "Do you accept this rose?"

Adam's answering smile made Kurt's knees feel weak. "I do." Adam made his way up the stage. They shared a hug before Adam moved to where the chosen bachelors were supposed to stand. Kurt felt giddy. He had always had a weakness for English accents and Adam was a sweetheart.

Kurt picked up the next rose. "Elliott Gilbert, do you accept this rose?"

Elliott looked pleasantly surprised. "I do." He walked over and hopped onto the stage. Their hands brushed as Kurt handed him the rose. Elliott gave Kurt a quick hug and a dazzling smile.

"I guess you'll be sticking around Star Child," Kurt said quietly.

"Lucky me." Elliott sauntered off to the side.

There was the roses on one side of Kurt and the bachelors on the other. Kurt wondered if anyone had turned down a rose at the first rose ceremony. It's no use thinking about that now. You've had a great time. Any guy that doesn't want to stay can cut their losses.

"Biff McIntosh, do you accept this rose?" Kurt asked.

"I do."

[Confession footage]

[Biff is sitting down. His job title reads: Very rich.]

Biff: Kurt made the right choice in picking me. I have a lot to offer.

The scene cut back to Biff standing next to Elliott, having taken his place at the stage. He smiled to himself.

"Bernard Bernard," Kurt said. Who names their child that? Is his middle name also Bernard? Kurt held a rose out. "Do you accept this rose?"

"I do." Bernard looked back at Mark who gave him a thumbs up. "Thanks. I hope you make it too."

Mark [the other NYADA sycophant]: Bernard and I have been friends for ages. We're both going to be the best at NYADA one day. Obviously I hope to win but there's no hard feelings if he does.

Eventually Kurt was down to one final rose. Among the chosen bachelors there was now Sam, Mike, Chase, Walter, Mark, Jessie St James, Brody, Rich, Jeremiah, Chandler, Matt, Rory, Gavroche and Eli C. It had felt weird to call Jeremiah's name is. Really he should have made it known that he knew Jeremiah just as he should have admitted to knowing Sebastian. As much as he wanted to apologize to Jeremiah he knew that he couldn't do that over national TV. He didn't know what his plan was. Still Jeremiah was actually a nice guy. He had been surprised by how much they had in common. He hoped that this wouldn't all be a mistake just like he hoped that who he was going to give his last rose to wouldn't be a mistake.

Kurt took a deep breath. The audience might think it was for dramatic timing but he really needed the strength. "Sebastian Smythe."

It felt like everything had gone silent as Sebastian stared in surprise at him. But really Kurt was sure that it was equally quiet when he had picked the other guys. Sebastian recovered and gave a smug smile.

"Do you accept this rose?"

"I do." Sebastian sauntered towards the stage.

At first when Kurt had called his name Sebastian hadn't noticed. He had been bored out his mind by the dramatic pauses and standing around for so long. He hadn't expected to be chosen last. When the numbers had dwindled down he had thought that maybe Kurt still held a high school grudge over Sebastian. Or maybe Kurt just didn't like him which was Kurt's loss really.

Then he realised that Kurt had called his name and couldn't hide his surprise. He covered his reaction quickly enough, he hoped.

"Do you accept this rose?"

"I do." He sauntered towards the stage. It was a waste of time to make Kurt ask that every time, he could just come on stage after his name was called.

After the last name was called, the director yelled 'cut' and Kurt walked off stage towards the mansion. The bachelors were supposed to leave for bed after he did so no one would steal extra time with him. The host of the show stopped him along the way. "You did great Kurt. You're a real natural at this. Excited for tomorrow?"

"Yeah. I can't believe I'm believe that I'm really doing this."

"You'll do great." They exchanged good nights and Kurt went on his way.

When he got inside someone told him that his bags had already been taken to his room and reminded him which room was his. Kurt had never known that the rooms inside the Bachelor mansion were numbered. After finishing his nightly routine Kurt crawled into bed and fell into a deep sleep.

I'm sorry but I didn't want to pretty much have Kurt say the same thing for forever and I just can't think up a unique scenario for every one of the guys.

Mark's the other NYADA sycophant because Bernard is the only one who's named during the series.

I considered having Kurt's family and friends react to the show as it airs but I think that would too difficult for me and interrupt the flow of the story, especially if I get into more POVs as the story goes on. Some stuff could be true but I included just for world building: Kurt and the bachelors leaving at separate times, the rooms being numbered, how much Kurt would interact with the Bachelor crew. Come to think of it would he see the audition tapes or is that only for the people that pick the contestants?

I'm not sure on a lot of things, I might redo this chapter and drop Jeremiah and Gavroche from the list of who was picked.
