Kurt woke up to the soft sound of his boyfriend humming 'Teenage Dream' in his ear and the soft gentle touch of said boyfriends hand tracing little hearts into his bare bicep with his finger. He smiled; he loved waking up with Blaine.
His smile grew larger as he remembered all the events from the night before that he shared with his beloved. The soft kisses and the romantic conversations they shared over an amazing dinner. It was the perfect way to celebrate a birthday in Kurt's opinion.
He wished they could just lay in bed all day and do nothing but unfortunately, they had plans today. Every summer, McKinley did a fundraiser for the sports teams. It was a dinner dance and generally, lots of fun. It was open to all students and their plus one. Since Blaine was still a senior at McKinley, they thought it would be fun to go one last time. Plus, it would be a great venue to have a genuinely good time just eating dinner with friends and dancing.
The event didn't start until 7 that night and it was only 11 in the morning, but they had agreed to help Burt out at the shop for a few hours first, so they couldn't stay in bed.
"Kurt we need to wake up, we have to be at your Dad's shop in like 40 minutes" Blaine half informed, half complained. He would do anything to help out the Hummel's so he wasn't genuinely upset about having to work, but he still would have preferred to stay in bed all day.
"5 more minutes" Kurt said in a very unhappy tone.
"If you get up now, I'll make us pancakes before we have to go" Blaine offered. Kurt's head shot straight up from his pillow followed by his eyes. He wouldn't get up for a lot of things, but he certainly would for Blaine's pancakes. Blaine laughed; Kurt really was just too adorable for his own good sometimes.
The rest of the day was spent by the two boys throwing each other soft romantic glances across the tire shop while they helped Burt fix cars.
After what felt like days, but was in reality only a few hours, Kurt and Blaine found themselves in Kurt's room arguing over who got to take a shower first. In the end Kurt ended up winning. He took the first shower while Blaine was left in Kurt's room to wait.
Kurt thankfully didn't take too long and before Blaine knew what happened, he was being pushed in the direction of Kurt's bathroom by towel-clad Kurt.
Kurt quickly dressed deciding to go simple and wear some black dress pants with a light blue 3 quarter sleeve length dress shirt with the top buttons undone to show of just the right amount of skin. He looked dashing but simple at the same time.
Just as he was finishing his hair, tousled with that perfect coif Kurt always maintained, Blaine stepped into his room wearing only the fluffy white towel that was left for him.
"You look really nice" Blaine commented while he went over to his over night bag and pulled out his outfit for the event. It was similar to Kurt's; they had both decided to go simple with a dress shirt and dress pants. The difference being Blaine's shirt was pale pink with; he also had his sleeves rolled up to his elbow to match Kurt.
"Thanks babe" Kurt replied. He gave Blaine privacy to get dressed and headed over to Finn's room to make sure he was ready. They were going to pick Rachel up then they would all head over to the event together.
He got to Finn's room and knocked on the door with 3 short raps before Finn mumbled something that sounded like an okay to come in. He walked into his step brother's room to find him fully dressed and ready (much to Kurt's surprise) in simple black pants like Blaine and Kurt and a white button up dress shirt, also like Kurt and Blaine.
"Are you ready Finny?" Kurt asked.
"Sure thing Kurtie, but we don't have to leave for 10 minutes so I'll meet you guys downstairs, I just have to kill this one guy" Finn said in a hurried tone.
"See you in 10 Finnegan!" Kurt said sternly before heading back to his room. Blaine waited for him, fully dressed and his hair already gelled.
"You look very handsome baby" he commented as he picked a piece of lint from Blaine's shoulder. Blaine wrapped his arms around Kurt's waste and pulled him in for a passionate but chaste kiss.
"So do you" he mumbled against their lips, which were both stuck in a smile that seemed to be permanent these days.
"Is Finn ready?" Blaine asked while doing a once over in the mirror; making sure he looked good.
"He's going to meet us downstairs in-" he paused to look at the alarm clock that sat on his bedside table. "4 minutes" he finished. Blaine nodded and walked back over to where Kurt was standing by his bedroom door. He grabbed their wallets and keys and handed Kurt his. He gave his boyfriend a sweet peck on the lips and a tiny hug before heading downstairs with Kurt in two.
A few minutes later, Finn came downstairs and the three boys headed out to pick up Rachel. They all piled in Blaine's car; Kurt driving, Blaine in the passenger seat and Finn in the back.
They got to Rachel's house in no time and she waltzed outside. She strutted to the car showing off her dress; it was strapless and the stop half was black and the bottom half was layered; the layers were white with black trim. Her hair was down and lightly curled and her make up look flawless. Kurt was proud of her; she had come a long way from cat sweaters and orange socks.
She climbed in the back with Finn and headed to the venue of the fundraiser event, which was a local hall that people could rent.
The dinner was quiet and nice. Kurt, Blaine, Finn, Rachel, Mr. Schue and Ms. Pillsbury were all seated at one table. The three couples shared small talk and all in all had an amazing dinner. Then came the dance part of the night, which was also lots of fun.
Blaine and Kurt danced a lot; they danced with everyone and anyone. Most of the songs were upbeat and fast so it was energetic and light hearted. Kurt almost squealed when finally they announced they would be playing a slow song and all the single people who hadn't paired up over the night left the dance floor.
He grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into the center of the dance floor. Blaine placed his hands just above Kurt's hips resting on the small of his back and pulling him close and Kurt wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck and rested his head on Blaine's shoulder. The song started; and go figure it was the Boyce Avenue version of Teenage Dream; they lived in a world of clichés sometimes.
I think you're pretty without any makeup on
I think you're funny when you tell the punch line wrong
I knew you got me when you let your walls come down...
The couple danced happily together, swaying to the beat of the piano and just enjoying each other's company. The song quickly drew to a close though and it seemed like it was over all to fast.
"You'll always be my teenage dream" Blaine whispered into Kurt's ear. Kurt smiled in return and grabbed Blaine's hand guiding them back to their table. The couple enjoyed the rest of their night dancing with each other, friends and sometimes complete strangers. Kurt was even sure he danced with a few of the jocks from the football team's grandmas. But in the end, everyone had a good time and that is all that mattered.
