Chapter 15: Junior Prom

It’s 3:30 P.M and Blaine is getting ready for Prom. “Jaaake!” He called from their shared bathroom. “Where’s my hair gel?”

Jake sighed “Check under the sink where it always is!”

He looked under the sink and there it was. Jake walked behind him and said “Blaine you need to calm the hell down! You’re going to end up stressing yourself out before you even leave!”

He was styling his hair and looked at him in the mirror. “Well tonight is kind of a big night for me Jake and it needs to be perfect.”

Jake smiled leaning against the doorframe and said “Ahh I see, losing the big v eh?”

His jaw dropped and he turned and looked at him. He smacked him off the head “No you idiot! I’m saying I love you for the first time. I told you that the other day!”

Jake nodded “Well Sor-ry. But seriously everything’s gonna be fine, you’re gonna catch him completely by surprise, and he’ll love it.”

He smiled at him as he combed his hair. “Thanks Jake.” Jake nodded and went back to his bed so Blaine could finish getting ready.

He straightened his tie and walked out. “Well Jake,” He turned “What do you think?”

Jake smiled “Wow, very dapper. Very handsome.”

He grinned “Thanks”

He looked at his phone, it was 4:00, he needed to get going. “Jake, where’d Kurt’s boutonni�re go?”

Jake sighed “It’s on your dresser where you left it.”

His cell went off, a text from his mother. Is it still okay for me to come take pictures at Kurt’s house? ~Mom.

Of course it is! As long as Dad or Michael don’t come ~Blaine.

They won’t. I’ll see you in a little while ~Mom

“Well I’m gonna go, I’ll talk to you later.”

Jake smiled “Have a good time and I want a full recap when you get back!”

He rolled his eyes and said “Bye Jake.” As he walked out the door to his car.

Kurt was absolutely freaking out, and has been in front of his mirror for an hour. “Damn it!” He cursed as he dropped his gel.

Carole walked into his room smiling and said “Do you need any help sweetie?”

He looked at her and groaned “Mom, of all the days for me to get a bad hair day.”

He pulled his hair up gelling it as he continued “It just had to be today! Blaine and his mom will be here shortly and.”

He sighed “I’m not even close to being ready!”

She smiled “Do you want some help?”

He nodded “If you could just spray my head as I comb it?”

She nodded and did that. “Great! Thanks mom! I can take it from here.”

She nodded and left. He heard the door bell ring and paused hoping it was Quinn. “Finn! Quinn’s here!”

He sighed in relief he still had time. He continued doing his hair trying to spray down all the fly-aways . He Put on his shirt and heard the doorbell ring as he put on his leggings.

Carole opened the door and smiled “Hello Blaine. Oh you look so handsome! Come in! He’s almost ready.”

She paused and said “Oh you must be Blaine’s mother! I’m Carole Hummel, Kurt’s step-mother.”

Mrs. Anderson shook her hand “Daphne Anderson, pleasure.”

They went into the living room and Burt smiled and introduced himself.

Quinn and Finn joined them. Blaine smiled “Hey guys! Quinn you look beautiful!”

She smiled “Hi Blaine, thanks”

Finn sighed “Where’s Kurt?”

He didn’t need an answer “I’m coming!”

Blaine looked at the doorway waiting for Kurt. Kurt walked through the doorway shyly smiled and he took Blaine’s breath away. “Hi Blaine.”

He smiled at him. “Hi. Wow, you look.”

He walked toward him and took his hands and continued “absolutely beautiful.”

Kurt blushed “Thanks, so do you.”

Burt cleared his throat. “Um…guys we’re taking pictures outside.”

They all nodded and Blaine took Kurt’s hand and kissed him on the cheek “You look amazing.”

Kurt smiled “Thanks.”

Once they got to the yard he smiled at Kurt and went into his pocket and said “I have something for you.”

He pulled out a pink carination boutonni�re. Kurt started giggling. He gave him a puzzled look and asked “What? Do you not like it or something? What’s so funny?”

Kurt sighed “No I like it! I do. Great minds must think alike because…”

Kurt went into his pocket and pullet out the same pink carination boutonni�re. “I got you the same one.”

He laughed “Well I guess so!”

Carole and Daphne took pictures as they each pinned the boutonni�res on each other, and Carole did the same with Finn and Quinn. After Finn put his hands on Quinn’s hips for their couple picture and Kurt did the same with Blaine.

“Okay Finn, Kurt I want a picture of my sons.”

They stood together and smiled Carole Grinned “Perfect! Now, I need a picture with all my boys!”

Blaine didn’t quite get what she was saying and thought she meant Burt with them. Finn chuckled “Blaine, she means you man.”

His eyes widened “Wait, what?”

Burt nodded “You’re part of this family too kid.”

Kurt smiled “Come on.” He grinned and stood between Finn and Kurt.

Carole smiled “Good, Daphne, would you like copies?”

She nodded “Yes if you don’t mind. Would you like me to take a picture of you your husband and Finn and Kurt together?”

Carole nodded “That would be great! Thank you! I’ll take one of you and Blaine after.”

They all took their pictures and the kids went into the limo Blaine’s mom brought. His mother sat in the front. Kurt looked at Blaine and could sense his uneasiness. “You okay Blaine?”

He nodded “Yeah, just nervous that’s all.”

Fin smiled “Blaine, I talked to Puck, Sam and Mike, you’ve got nothing to worry about. We’ve got your back.”

He smiled “Thanks Finn.”

Quinn smiled at Kurt “You’re going to vote for us tonight right?”

Kurt groaned “If you stop asking me yes I will.”

Quinn nodded and Kurt’s cell went off, it was a text from Jake.

I know you’re looking forward to prom and slow dancing and stuff. Just don’t force him to slow dance or anything especially after what happened with Josh. Have fun Kurt ;) ~Jake

No worries ~Kurt

They arrived at McKinley and the couples separated and Kurt and Blaine were left alone. “Kurt!”

He turned around and saw Santana in her red silk dress and Karofsky behind her.

“Hi Santana! You look beautiful!”

She smiled “Thanks!”

Blaine took his hand as Karofsky approached. “Hi Kurt!”

He chuckled “So you do know what my name is.”

Dave nodded and Santana sighed “Well this is officially awkward See ya Kurt, Hobbit.”

Blaine rolled his eyes and looked at Kurt, behind him he saw Mercedes who signaled him not to say anything. She snuck up behind him and hugged him causing Kurt to scream “Holy Shit!”

He turned and saw Merceds and grinned “Oh wow! You look beautiful cedes!”

She smiled “Thanks Boo, you look great too. So do you Blaine, very dapper.”

They smiled thanking her. She went back to join Sam and Rachel took the mic singing the first slow song of the night Jar of Hearts. Almost all the couples were dancing, except Kurt and Blaine. Kurt didn’t want to pressure Blaine.

I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore?
You lost the love
I loved the most

Almost all the couples were dancing, except Kurt and Blaine. Kurt didn’t want to pressure Blaine. “It’s so great the proms so inclusive this year…normally it’s not.

He took Kurt’s hand nodding “Someone for everyone.”

And I learned to live, half-alive
And now you want me one more time

He looked at Santana and Dave and added “Even if it’s a lie.” Blaine nodded in agreement

Who do you think you are?
Runnin' round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are?


“You do know she is singing this to someone right?”

Dear, it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes

He looked at Kurt. “Really, Who?”

“Finn.”

His eyes widened “What they were together?”

Kurt nodded “Yeah after Reigonals last year til after our parents wedding, it’s a long story.”

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now you're back
You don't get to get me back

He sighed “Damn she is singing this to him.”

And who do you think you are?
Runnin round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don't come back for me
Don't come back at all

They clapped after she finished “I gotta go Kurt, I’m up.”

Kurt nodded and Blaine went to the stage and Sang I’m not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How to Dance with You. Kurt watched him smiling, he missed seeing Blaine sang. The fact that he was singing at his prom with his friends made it even better. Kurt cheered loudly after he finished. Blaine came back smiling “Did you like it?”

Kurt nodded “Yeah!”

He smiled “Oh there was some fight or something while I was singing.”

Kurt chuckled "I’m not surprised”

Kurt cell vibrated. “It’s a text from Finn.”

Kurt scoffed “Wow.”

He looked at him. “What’s wrong?”

Kurt sighed and read the text to him “Jesse pissed me off and got into a fight with him and coach Sylvester kicked us out. Dad’s coming to get me. Fill me in when you get home. Have fun!”

He shook his head. “Quinn’s gonna be pissed!”

Kurt nodded “Oh yeah I’m gonna do my best to avoid her for the rest of the night.”

Sam came on the stage and the beginning of My Wish by Rascal Flats started making Kurt gasp “Oh my god! I love this song!”

Kurt looked at Blaine and asked “Do you want to dance?”

He quickly added “You don’t have to if you don’t want to.”

He chuckled “Kurt I’d love to.” He put his arms around Kurt’s neck and the danced.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

They heard slurs and Kurt quickly pulled away as he felt Blaine tense. “I’m sorry Kurt.”

Kurt shook his head. “It’s okay Blaine, I understand don’t worry.”

They ended up dancing with Rachel and Mercedes for the rest of the song. After the song ended Principal Figgins called all the candidates for King and Queen onstage. Figgins took the gold envelope and said “Your 2011 McKinley High Junior Prom King is…”

He paused opening the envelope and smiled as he said “David Karofsky!”

Blaine and Kurt looked at each other and back at the stage. Figgin’s took the other envelope and said “Your 2011 McKinley High Junior Prom Queen is…” His smile faded as he continued. “Kurt Hummel.”

He looked at Kurt as the spotlight hit him thinking “Oh god.” He was trying to see a reaction. Kurt took off out of the gym. He followed calling after him “Kurt, stop! Kurt!”

He saw him running out into the hallway crying as he said “I have never been so humiliated!”

He called “Kurt, please stop come on.”

Kurt turned to look at him. “Can’t you see how stupid we looked? Thinking that nobody cared and some sort of progress had been made?”

He sobbed. “But it’s still the same!”

He looked at him. “It’s just a stupid joke.”

Kurt shook his head. “All that hate in there, they were just too afraid to say it out loud to my face! So they did it by secret ballot!”

He sobbed “I’m just one big anonymous practical joke!”

He shook his head “No you’re not Kurt.”

Blaine sat against the lockers as Kurt paced back and forth. “Would you at least sit down?”

Kurt shook his head. “Do you want to go, you don’t have to go back in there.”

Kurt sighed “No, this prom was about redemption taking away that lump, if I leave all that’s gonna do is give me one too.”

He sighed “So what do you want to do?”

“I’m going to go back in there and get corrinated” Kurt said shakily.

He looked at his boyfriend in awe as he continued

“I’m gonna show them that it doesn’t matter if their laughing at me or whispering behind my back. They.Cant.Touch.Me.”

Kurt got down in front of Blaine “They can’t touch us,”

Kurt took his hand “or what we have.”

He hugged Kurt, letting a few tears roll off his cheeks.

He handed him a tissue as he stood up. He held out his hand “Are you ready to do this?” Kurt nodded and took his hand.

He smiled at Kurt kissing him quickly. “You go out there and be the best prom queen McKinley High School has ever seen.”

Kurt nodded and went back on stage and Blaine went back into the crowd.

Figgins took the crown and said “Ladies and Gentlemen your 2011 Junior Prom Queen, Kurt Hummel.” He placed it on his head.

Kurt went to the mic and said “Eat your heart out Kate Middleton.”

Everyone cheered and Figgins said “Now behold the tradition of our 2011 Prom King and Queen and their first dance.”

He watched Kurt and Dave went off the stage. He knew that Dave would ditch Kurt and embarrassing him further, he made his way through to crowd as Rachel and Mercedes harmonized the beginning of Dancing Queen. He got through the crowd and said “Excuse me?” Kurt turned around and looked at him.

He held out his hand and said “May I have this dance?”

Kurt smiled taking his hand “Yes.” He chuckled “Yes you may.”

They danced together slowly looking at the people staring, after a moment they didn’t care as he spun Kurt, giggling as he did.

After the song ended he smiled at Kurt. “You go sit down, I’ll go get us some punch.”

Kurt nodded and sat down. Blaine followed with his punch Kurt smiled “Thanks.“

He smiled “You’re welcome.” He took a sip of the punch. “It’s a bit sour.”

Kurt nodded and Blaine’s cell vibrated with a text. He smiled and put it away.

“Who was that?” asked Kurt

He smiled “Just Jake reminding me that he wants a full recap when I return.”

Kurt nodded. “Okay…”

Santana took the mic smiling at Kurt and Blaine as the music started. Kurt choked on his punch when he realized what song it was. “Blaine, it’s…it’s our song.”

He nodded and held his hand out to Kurt who took it and they walked to the dance floor. Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine’s neck.

The powerlines went out
And I am all alone
But I don’t really care at all
Not answering my phone
All the games you played , the promises you made
Couldn’t finish what you started only darkness still remains
Lost�sight, couldn’t see

Kurt smiled at him and asked “Are you having a good time?”

He nodded “Absolutely.”

When it was you and me
blow the candles out , looks like a solo tonight
I beginning to see the light
blow the candles out ,looks like a solo tonight
but I think I’ll be alright

He looked at Kurt “I am so proud of you, going back out there took a lot of courage.”

Been black and blue before
There’s no need to explain
I am not the jaded kind playback’s such a�waste
You’re invisible , invisible to me , my wish is coming true erase the�memory of your face
Lost�sight Couldn’t see,
When it was you and me

Kurt smiled “I did learn from the best.”

He smiled and continued as Santana sang the chorus. “Kurt, there is a moment when you know you’re life changes, when you find the right person.”

Kurt looked at him puzzled as he continued “Kurt you are the most important person in my life. You’re my rock, and my best friend and most importantly my boyfriend.”

Kurt smiled as he continued. “When we got together, I know my feelings for you were changing.”

Kurt’s heart raced having an idea where this was heading. “Blaine…”

One day
You will wake up
With nothing but “you’re sorrys ”
And someday
You will get back
Everything you gave me!

“I’ve been afraid in this relationship Kurt, because of Logan. I finally have realized that you are not Logan.”

Kurt looked at him,. He sighed “I guess what I’m trying to say is,”

He kissed him softly and continued smiling “I love you Kurt.”

Kurt gasped thinking he was hearing things. “W-what?”

He smiled tearfully and said “Kurt I love you.”

Kurt let his tears fall and smiled as he replied “I love you too Blaine, so much!”

Blaine cried happily as Kurt pulled him into a kiss.

Blow the candles out , looks like a solo tonight
But I think I’ll be alright !

Kurt broke the kiss and they sang along with the last few lines.

Blow the candles out , looks like a solo tonight
But I think I’ll be alright!

Blaine smiled as the last song came on, Teenage Dream. Kurt chuckled. “You didn’t plan this did you?”

He shook his head “Well Candles I did but not this…this was just lucky!”

They danced and sang along and as the song ended Kurt smiled “I love you.”

He smiled “I love you too.”

They kissed as balloons fell. They went out to the limo and went back to Kurt’s.

Finn was sitting on the couch as they came in. “Hey guys.”

Finn looked at Kurt and asked “Um why are you wearing a crown?”

Kurt sighed “Well, Karofsky won King and I was voted queen as a cruel joke.”

Blaine smiled “I’m gonna go get changed.”

He nodded and watched him leave.

Finn looked at him. “You seem unusually happy for someone who was humiliated in front of the entire school…Did something else happen tonight?”

He nodded “Blaine told me he loves me.”

Finn smiled “That’s great bro!”

He nodded “I’m going to bed, it’s been a long night. Goodnight Finn.”

“Night Kurt.”

“Oh yeah, how long are you grounded for?”

Finn glared at him “Two weeks. Good night. Kurt.”

He chuckled left him. When he got to his room he saw Blaine in his pj’s smiling at his phone. “What is it?”

He smiled “James is going to be back when I get there,”

Kurt smiled “That’s great!”

He nodded and Kurt got into his pjs and got into his bed with Blaine.

He smiled “I love you Kurt.”

“I love you too Blaine.” He kissed him and snuggled close to him and fell asleep together.
