"I think you look dashing, if I may say so. The pant-length keeps you from showing off too much ankle, and that tealish bow-tie really accentuates your eyes." Kurt sounded like he'd been shipped off to this little mall in Ohio straight from the set of "Project Runway".
"I preferred the blue pimp-suit with the ruffles", Artie started with a frown, but upon seeing Kurt about to literally throw up at the mention of his personal highlight during this otherwise pretty boring shopping trip, he was quick to add, "But I guess this one's a bit more appropriate for the occasion. You're supposed to look boring at a wedding, as to not distract from the bride, right?", he questioned rhetorically with a playful smile.
Kurt rolled his eyes at his friends attempt at comedy, but smiled along with him, admitting to himself that Artie actually had a pretty decent sense of humor.
Someone who wasn't smiling, and hadn't been for the past two hours was Finn Hudson. He'd been dragged along on this impromptu suit shopping trip by his step-brother earlier that day, when they were hanging out at the Lima Bean together with the majority of the New Directions.
Rachel had forced everyone to take turns and in detail describe their summers breaks this far, and what their plans for the remaining summer were. Artie mentioned one of his cousins getting married, and before he had the time to decline, Kurt was already halfway to the car, pushing him at break-neck speed, silently weeping at the haunting mental images of Artie's prom outfit. Finn had no other choice than to go with them, since he was Kurt's drive home.
That's how Finn had ended up where he was, having been counting floor-tiles over and over again since outfit number five, almost literally bored to tears. Doing some quick math in his head, he reached the conclusion that the black slim-fitted blazer-looking suit Artie was wearing right now was outfit number eleven.
However, as much as Finn suffered, he did it in silence. If Artie wasn't complaining, neither should he, he thought. As much as he'd been starting to wish that he could be anywhere on Earth but here, he could only imagine how bad it'd be to be Kurt Hummel's life-sized dress-up doll.
