kurtis took a deep breathe and dusted off the dust off his baggy luigi tshirt. he checked himself out in the mirrorr one last time, smirking as he admired his fresh kicks (nike Tns) and his lightwash jeans, adjusting his be nice to me touk (because he is Canadanian.). Kurtis was so nervous. He was not usually nervous before peforming stand up, but he knew that a talent scout Mister Ser would be in the crowd. that was when he felt a warm strong hand on his shoulder. He turns to see the bright a supportve face of his best friend jacob andrew sharpe, or jacob for short.

"Kurt," he siad. This brought a smile on kurtis's face. He loved it when jacob called him that. "You don't have to be nervous. Mister Ser will love your set."

"Thanks, jacob. I really needed that." jacob removed his hand and kurtis shook off his nerves one last time, and prepared to run onto that stage, when he heard a petite voice.

"Wait!"

Kurtis recognised this as the voice of his girlfriend jenna. He stops running and looks over his shoulder, smiling at her. she catches up to him.

"Kurtis before you go on I have to tell you something..."

kurtis gulped. Jenna was not usually so serious, so he knew something was really bad.

"Im breaking up with you."

Jacobs mouth flew agape. he looked into the eyes of kurtis and could see tears welling up.

"w-w-w-w-w-what?" kurtis could barely get the words out.

"I am sorry. Well, no Im not." Jenna laughed in his face then ran off. kurtis was so confuesd. what had just happened? Why has she so suddenly dumped him? tears were streamning down his face now, getting caught in his brown moustache. Jacob runs over and pulls his broken friend into a warm embace.

"Hey man, don't think about it. You were too good for her anyways! This comedy show is more important you cant let her get in your head. Mister Ser could change your life!"

"NO!" Kurtis cried, pushing jacob off him. "I cant go on. I am too heartbroken."

Kurtis ran away, and jacob knew he needed to follow him and comfort his friend. Jacob was great at comforting, especiallly in the heartbreak department, as his wife Eilish had sadly died not long ago after being sentenced to death for a crime she did not commit. But that was not the only reason. Jacob knew he needed to comfort kurt not only because he was his friend, but because...

he was in love with him.

Jacob ran out and looked for kurt, which was not hard, as his nike Tns had left a significant footprint of mud. why were kurtis's shoes muddy? No time to think. Jacob ran until the footprints stopped right outside of the disabled toilet stall of the venue. He could hear kurtis's tears and it made him feel terrible! He banged on the door.

"Kurtis I know you're in there. open up! please!"

"Go away Jacob! I will never feel love again."

Jacob gasped slightly. Was it true? Jacob had always really hoped that maybe one day kurtus would love him back, so he was kinda happy when jenna dumped him. but he could see this was bad. Jacob obviously wanted kurtis to love him back, but seeing him happy was worth more than him being single and sad.

"What about Mister Ser? What about your adoring fans? Kurtis..." He leaned on the door. "What about me?"

Jacob heard a sniffle and a click, and the door opened. But jacob was still leaning on the door! it made him fall, right into the arms of his crush!

"I... uh..." Kurtis held onto his friend tight. He looked down at his friends face. He had never noticed the complexity of his irises. they were...well...beautiful. his eyes fell further down. his mouth, slightly open, looked so hungry and desperate. Kurtis licked his own lips. his heart beat faster and he could see jacob breathing heavily. for a moment, kurtis considered leaning in, but then realised it was ridiculous! He had just been broken up with, and this was his best friend! Kurtis let go of his friend and jacob stood up, scratching the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Come on, kurt." Jacob took his hand. "Go put on a show."

"thanks, man." Kurtis readjusted his touk again, and the pair walked off to the stage, ready to peform his amazing set and impress Mister Ser.
