Blaine was sitting on the floor in Kurt's bedroom. Ashley was watching Cassidy for the night because they were working on their English project for another book. Kurt's parents were gone for the night and Finn wasn't home either, he was out with Rachel.
"I can't believe this is the first night we are finally able to be alone, but we have this stupid paper due next week," Kurt complains as he lets his head fall down onto the bed.
Blaine smiles over at Kurt and touches his arm, "Hey, it's alright." Kurt turns his head and looks into Blaine's eyes, "Hello bright eyes."
Kurt laughs, "Really Blaine?"
"What," Blaine smiles his cheesy smile, "You know you love it."
"Sad thing is," Kurt grins, "I do, I really do," he reaches out to touch Blaine's hairline and follows it with his fingertips until he tucks a curl behind his ear. "Will you go to prom with me?"
Blaine's eyes widened and he looks shocked, "What?"
Kurt shuffles down off the bed and next to Blaine, "I think you and I should go to prom together."
"Are you sure?" Blaine asks quietly.
"You don't want to go to prom with me?" Kurt says in a rush and takes his hands away.
"No," Blaine shakes his head and takes Kurt hands back, "It's not that, just remember when I told you about going to that Sadies Hawkins dance."
"I'm sorry," Kurt sighs, "But maybe you can go and face your past, you know with me." Blaine looked down as if he was hesitant, "Or we can go do something different then. I mean we could go see a movie or..."
"Kurt," Blaine interrupts him, "I want to go to prom with you."
Kurt's smile grows, "Really?"
"Yes really," Blaine nods, "I would be honored to go to prom with you."
Kurt bounces and smiles, "Yay!" Then he looks down at this lap.
"What's wrong?" Blaine asked lifting Kurt's chin.
"It's just..." Kurt starts to say, "It's really silly."
"What do you mean?" Blaine sits quiet and patient for Kurt answer.
"Remember that night when we danced and you said that I could lead next time," Kurt explains.
"Yeah," Blaine nodded his head remembering the moment they were together.
"Well here's the thing," Kurt breathes in and out, "I'm not exactly sure how...you know...to lead in a dance."
Blaine looks at him confused, "You mean, you never?"
Kurt shrugged, "Never had a chance to learn. I mean there were those stupid dances we learned in elementary school, but they weren't dancing with another person."
"Hmm," Blaine nods, "Okay, I'll teach you."
"What?" Kurt asks as he watches Blaine stand up and walks over to Kurt's iPod dock. "What are you doing?"
"Just a second," Blaine said as he smiled over his shoulder at Kurt, "Now don't you dare knock me about how cheesy this is."
"I'll try not too, but what are you doing?" Kurt asked again.
"You will see," Blaine said as he fiddled with the iPod some more, "There we go," he walked over to Kurt. He held out his hand to Kurt which he takes as the music starts playing. He begins to sing in Kurt's ear quietly.
Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close, and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine
And let the music be your guide
"I am not singing this song with you," Kurt said as Blaine dances them around. Blaine keeps singing while he urges him to lead. Kurt finally grumbles and starts to sing quietly.
Now won't you promise me
(Won't you promise me)
That you'll never forget
(That we'll keep dancing)
To keep dancing
(To keep dancing)
Where ever we go next
A smile starts to form on Kurt's lips as they dance around.
It's like catching lightening
The chances of finding, someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
"I can't believe I'm doing this," Kurt said as he looks into Blaine's eyes and then it all suddenly slips away. He begins to sing lead on the next verse.
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn, will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
And you can't keep us apart
(Even in a 1,000 miles can't keep us apart)
Cause my heart is wherever you are
(Because my heart is wherever you are)
They both laugh as they dance around and begin singing together again.
It's like catching lightening
The chances of finding, someone like you
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance?
Kurt finally felt he was getting the hang of leading Blaine around his room.
Oooh!
No mountains to high enough
Kurt decided he would dip Blaine. The action caught Blaine by surprise as Kurt dipped him down and pulled him back up.
No oceans to wide
Cuz together or not, Our dance wont stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
Yeah!
"Ready for the big finale?" Blaine whispers in his ear. Kurt nods his head while they dance.
It's like catching lightening
The chances of finding, someone like you
(Oooh like you)
It's one in a million
The chances of feeling the way we do
(The way we do)
And with every step together
We just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance?
(Can I have this dance?)
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance?
(This dance)
Can I have this dance?
Blaine let go and slowly bowed while Kurt followed and done the same with a small giggle. "You my amazing boyfriend never had anything to worry about."
"I guess not," Kurt shrugs, and then wraps his arms around Blaine's neck, "Although I have to say you are quite the teacher."
"I have my days," Blaine laughs.
Neither of the boys had heard the door open from the garage or saw Carole and Burt peek in the room while they were dancing leaving them to finish their dance.
"Here's the thing, I was thinking of a more...hi Kurt," Rachel waved as Kurt walked up, "Here, I should ask you, what do you think power blue or baby pink?"
Kurt thought for a moment, "With your skin tone, I would have to go with baby pink, but what are we ladies discussing?"
"Prom dresses," Tina sighs as she leans on the locker, "Sometimes you can't just find the right one."
"I know what you mean, sometimes I wonder if I'll find anything," Kurt finds himself thinking out loud.
"What do you mean?" Mercedes asked, "No way are you going to prom with Blaine?"
"Yes I am," Kurt smiles at his friends, "And we even danced after I asked him."
"How exciting Lady," Santana rolls her eyes, "Anything else exciting going on from this shindig?"
Kurt stared at her, "Are you going then?"
"Course I am," Santana smiles, "And I'm bringing my own date as well."
"I wonder who that could be?" Brittany asked bumping their shoulders together.
Rachel cleared her throat to direct their attention back to her, "In the meantime, I think it will fun with you and Blaine coming along. We should totally get a limo and everything."
Blaine walked up, "Hello ladies and Kurt," he smiled at them, "What are you talking about?"
"Prom," Mercedes said with a sigh.
"That bad?" Blaine asked her.
"Sam hasn't asked me yet," Mercedes said with a shrug, "I know we're together and everything, but you know it would still be nice if he asked."
Blaine bit his bottom lip, "I have to get going, I'll see you later," he reached up and gave Kurt's shoulder a squeeze. He walked away turned down the hallway towards another set of lockers.
"Hi Blaine!" Sam waved at him.
"Hey Mike," Blaine nodded, "Sam, could I ask you something?"
"I have to go walk Tina to History, I'll see you later," Mike said walking away from the two knowing Blaine wanted to talk to him.
"What's up?" Sam asked him.
"It's about prom," Blaine leaned on the lockers.
Sam nodded, "You want advice on how to dance or something?" he asked confused.
"No," Blaine shook his head, "It's not that, it's just I know that...erm..."
"I'm sort of confused then," Sam said shutting his locker.
"I just wonder if there is something that is wrong or if you can't make it or something," Blaine said to him.
Sam looked at Blaine, "I don't see...what?"
"You haven't asked Mercedes yet," Blaine said simply.
"But we're boyfriend and girlfriend," Sam said to him, "I don't have to ask her, we are together."
"Yeah, but see Kurt asked me last night," Blaine explained to him, "I think maybe Mercedes may like it if you asked her. Sometimes that makes it all the more special."
"You think?" Sam asked.
Blaine rolled his eyes, "Yes Sam, just ask her the next moment you get. And try to make it romantic." He patted him on the shoulder, "Good luck dude."
"Thanks man," Sam smiled at him and walked away.
Blaine shook his head, "That was easier then I thought it would be."
Mercedes walked in to Glee club with a smile on her face, considerably happier then earlier.
Kurt looked over at Blaine knowing he must have done something, "You are amazing," he whispered in Blaine's ear.
"I don't know what you talking about," Blaine hummed to himself as brushed some invisible dust off his pants.
"You are though," Kurt reached over and squeezed his hand.
Mr. Schuester walked in, "Guess what, I have great news guys."
"You finally made the list of all optional solos for Nationals?" Rachel asked smiling.
"Actually in my hands I have the date and theme of Nationals," Mr. Schuester said excitedly, "I haven't opened them yet, since I was waiting for you guys of course."
"Open them!" Mercedes said excitedly.
Mr. Schuester opened the envelope, "Here we go and the theme for this year's Nationals is..."
Everyone pounded on their seats a drum roll.
"Well that's different," Mr. Schuester said looking at the paper, "Hmm."
"What is it?" Rachel asked worried.
"I bet it's rappers from the third century," Brittany said.
"No," Mr. Schuester said, "Actually, it's Disney."
Puck looked at him, "Like as in those princess movies?"
"You know Noah there are more then just princess movies in the Disney collection," Kurt said to him.
Puck just rolled his eyes. "Wait, are you saying that I can finally sing my version of Reflection," Rachel said excitedly, "Because I...what?"
"You do realize that this is our last nationals?" Mercedes said to her, "And I know we are all probably going to want a solo for..."
"Well if you listen to some of the Disney songs, a lot of them are meant to be for groups," Blaine said with a shrug.
"Great, the guy with a little sister who has a princess fascination," Puck rolled his eyes.
"You do realize how big of a base 'Disney' has," Blaine said to him, "I mean Queen is under Disney's label."
"They are?" Finn asked.
"Yes," Blaine nodded, "And Disney does have some amazing songs that aren't in the spotlight. Like a lot of the songs from the Nightmare Before Christmas aren't always in the shown."
"We could totally do that song from the Jungle Book," Sam said.
"Or we could do the song That's How You Know from Enchanted," Quinn added in.
"Could we do a song from Lion King?" Artie asked.
"We should totally do Make a Man out Of You," Mike smiled.
Tina stared at him and shook her head, "What if we do a song from Beauty and the Beast?"
"I guess they are excited now," Kurt leans over to tell Blaine. Blaine just turned towards him and smiled.
"Okay, everyone," Mr. Schuester said holding out his hands, "And we have the date too. It's the weekend of May 12th."
All of the New Directions froze, "What?" Rachel stood up and walked over to Mr. Schuester taking the paper, "You can't be serious?"
"It can't be that weekend," Quinn said shaking her head, "It can't be."
"What's wrong with that weekend?" Mr. Schuester asked them.
No one spoke, "It's the same weekend as prom," Kurt finally says, "We can't miss our senior prom."
Mr. Schuester looked at the group, "Well then, I guess it's up to you guys then. If you would rather go to your prom then Nationals, that's your decisions. But if there are twelve of you who are going to Nationals then we'll go."
Blaine raised his hand, "I want to go to Nationals."
Kurt looked over at Blaine, "What are you doing?"
"I mailed my application in," Blaine said quietly, "NYU is looking for students who stand out. And having a win like this on my application will help it."
Kurt looked at him, "You're right." Then he reached over and took Blaine's hand, "Of course I understand."
Blaine squeezed his hand back, "This isn't set in stone. It's just an option."
"I know," Kurt smiled, "But it's still an option." He held onto Blaine's hand, "I'm with Blaine. Besides I didn't go to prom last year, I doubt we'll miss much."
"But Kurt it's our senior prom," Rachel said, "Not that I don't agree with Blaine, it would look wonderful on our applications, but its prom."
Finn stood up, "But Rachel, this is Nationals. Nationals are something we've worked so hard to go to and I hate to say this, but you are going to give it up just so you can go to a party in a fancy dress?"
Mike and Sam looked at each other knowing Finn's wording was not the best. They both lowered themselves into their seats.
"It is not just some party," Quinn stood up.
Santana stood up, "I'm with them," she pointed to Kurt and Blaine, "Now I know you're all surprised, but Hamburgler Finn over there is right too."
Finn smiled, "Wow, thanks Santana. I really..."
Santana held up her hand, "Don't get used to it," she sat back down.
"Well alright then," Mr. Schuester said, "I suppose we should take a vote. Those in favor of going to prom raise your hands."
Blaine and Kurt's hands went up, as did Finn and Santana's. Brittany slowly raised her hand, and Santana gave her a smile. Tina and Mike gave each other a look and then their hands went up. Artie's hand soon followed, along with Puck's. Sam raised his hand and Mercedes scoffed, she put up her own hand too.
Rachel looked at everyone, "Fine," she said raising her hand.
Everyone then looked over at Quinn, who still sat shaking her head, "Fine, but if we don't win, none of you will hear the end of it."
Mr. Schuester smiled, "Let's get started then shall we?"
Kurt sighed as the sat at the Lima Bean with his friends. Blaine was sitting beside him, "What's wrong you?"
"This whole no prom thing I totally understand," Kurt said, "But I'm still sad about not going."
"Yeah, I'm with Kurt on this one," Rachel sighed herself, "I mean last year wasn't all that fun and this year Finn and I are actually dating."
Santana shrugged, "Last year's junior prom was crap and we all know that. Even though I rightfully should have won prom queen," she said towards Blaine, who just gave a small nod. He didn't want to argue with Santana, she sort of scared him at times, while other times she was oddly nice to him.
"Who did win prom queen?" Kurt asked them, "I never asked."
The group just looked at each other, "It's not important," Rachel shook her head, "I mean it doesn't matter now."
Kurt lifted an eyebrow, "Right, so you're saying Quinn did?"
"Yes," Mercedes nodded, "Quinn won."
"Yep I did," Quinn smiled at them and nodding. Kurt was a bit skeptical, but just shrugged.
Blaine looked among them, "It's not important now, but I sort of agree. I mean Dalton's dances were pretty extravagant, they always sort of felt like prom. Without the queen and king thing; although, it would be a bit weird since it was an all boy's school."
"Okay sweetie," Kurt patted his shoulder, "To bad we can't have our own prom, I mean would it be that hard?"
"Kurt!" Rachel stands up, "That's the perfect idea!"
"What? We sneak over to the all boys dance?" Santana asked her.
Rachel stared at Santana, "No, we can have our prom. I mean it will probably have to wait until after Nationals, but we could plan our prom."
"Rachel's right, it wouldn't be that difficult," Tina nodded, "Where would we have?"
"In the choir room?" Rachel offered.
She was soon shut down by everyone, "Not that I don't love that place," Kurt commented, "I am not spending my senior prom in that room no matter if it's the real prom or a makeshift one."
"What about if we have it in the gym?"
"No," Brittany said, "I've heard that the football players live there during the night. We wouldn't want to wake them up."
"Exactly," Santana said with a smile, "Besides they wouldn't give us permission to use the gym."
"What if we have it at that park?" Blaine shrugged, "There is that gazebo there. I know they rent it out for weddings and stuff. We could decorate it with lights or something. Set up some things on the side."
"An outside prom?" Mercedes said, "What if it rains or something."
"I like the idea," Quinn said, "I mean raising the money would be sort of hard with us needing the money for Nationals..."
"I have an idea," Rachel smiled, "What if I told you I could the gazebo for free," he said excitedly.
"And how could you do that?" Kurt asked her.
"My dads of course," Rachel explained, "They know the guy that owns the gazebo, they are friends with a ton of wedding planners. We could probably get them to donate some stuff."
"Wow, guess this means we have to call the guys and tell them it's still a go on the suits," Tina said with a laugh and all of the girls joined.
Kurt and Blaine just turned towards each other shrugged their shoulders, "Are you okay with this?" Kurt asked him quietly.
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" Blaine said with a smile.
"Okay," Kurt nodded, "You my boyfriend are amazing."
"I want to take you out on a date," Blaine said a bit louder then he meant to, "Oops," he said with his face turning red.
Kurt laughed a little as Blaine's head fell on his shoulder. "You have to take him out a date to get him to put out?" Santana asked them.
Kurt stopped laughing and Blaine stiffened on his shoulder, he lifted his head, "Why in the world would you think that?" he asked, again his voice a bit louder then he meant to.
"Blaine," Kurt hissed, "She wasn't being serious."
"No," Blaine shook his head, "I want to know what makes you think that just because I want to take Kurt out means that I want to get in his pants."
Rachel, Tina, Mercedes, and Quinn started looking at one another, while Brittany was off getting a refill of her tea.
"Guys..."
"Sit down Berry," Santana said to her, "Look Hobbit, I get it you live on your own and it must be wonderful to have all that alone time with Kurt, but you necessary don't have to woo him for it I'm sure."
"Santana," Kurt said now turned towards her, "You don't have..."
Blaine felt his face crumble, "Thanks Santana," he shook his head and reached for his bag, "You know what I actually thought of you as my friend, but I guess I was wrong. I'll see you later Kurt," he kissed him on the head, "I have to go home and apparently jerk off because I don't have anything better to do."
Blaine left and Santana shrugged crossing her arms over his chest, Brittany finally walked back over, "Where did Blaine go?"
Kurt stood up, "Maybe you should ask her," he looked pointedly at Santana, "You have no idea how far he has come from where he was and what you just did...I have to go." He turned around and walked out of the coffee shop.
The rest of the group turned to stare at her, "What?" Santana said, "Come on Brittany let's blow this place, it just turned into Lamesville USA."
The two girls left, leaving the four girls. "I hope Blaine's alright," Rachel said biting her lower lip.
"We know you know things Rachel," Mercedes said to her, "But is it that bad?"
Rachel remembered the day they went to pick up Cassidy for her birthday surprise, "They live in a small apartment. I swear when I looked down the hall there was three doors. Cassidy ran into one of them, which was probably her room. And then one was the bathroom, and the other was a closet he pulled her dress out of it."
Quinn looked down at her coffee, "He doesn't even have his own bedroom?"
Rachel nodded, "I know Kurt's dad wanted to offer to let them stay at there home, but Kurt didn't want to scare Blaine off, so they didn't."
"Where does he sleep then?" Tina asked.
Rachel just shrugged, "I think the couch, I know Kurt mentioned a pull out one time. I wish there something we could do for them."
"Santana shouldn't have said those things," Mercedes added.
"I know if he's not working or at school, he is at home with Cassidy," Rachel said sighing, "I don't know how many times I've offered to watch her, but he always turns me down."
"Do you think he really will go to New York?" Tina asked her.
Rachel shrugged again, "Depends really, I think he has amazing talent to get there, but it depends if he can be confident."
"We need to do something for them," Quinn said.
Rachel smiled, "I think I have the perfect plan."
