Royally Romanced
A/N: So, this is it. It's based off of Lifetime's William and Kate where Blaine is the son of the Prince of Wales going to Julliard with the promising Rachel Berry. Will also feature the others :). Bear with me here, I'm Royally Mad and I really wanna try this!
ps. I don't claim to own anything but the original characters that may or may not exist throughout the course of Blaine and Rachel's journey.
Also, the royal characters- like the other characters-are strictly fictional. They may be loosely based off of real life (As in Blaine's grandmother is queen and his father is the prince of Wales, making him 3rd in line and his mother is dead) but I'm changing the people. For example, the way I make Blaine's father is not necessarily the way I see Prince Charles. I also wanna point out that the way I'm going to make Blaine's step mother (Juliana) is certainly not the way I see Camilla.
Chapter 1: Blaine Wales
"All of Julliard is awaiting the arrival of Prince Blaine of Wales…" Rachel Berry snapped the tv off and looked towards her roommate and best friend, Mercedes Jones. Her neighbors Quinn Fabray and Santana Lopez were also there, watching along.
"Poor guy. You know that the applications for Julliard, NYU and Columbia skyrocketed once the prince announced he was coming here…" Mercedes said. Rachel rolled her eyes.
"It was mostly girls that want to marry him, how pathetic."
"And unrealistic," Quinn added in, "I've known Blaine since we were children, I've gone to his birthday parties for as long as I can remember. The woman he brings home to the queen has to be of the right pedigree."
"Like you?" Mercedes asked. This was the fourth time in the past half hour they had heard this.
"Well, Mercedes, my father is a duke."
"A duke who disowned you after you got pregnant…" Santana finished. Rachel had never been so thankful for Santana's bitchy attitude, "You're only here because your momma moved to New York after she caught him cheating!"
"And what do you have, Lopez? Your ditz of a girlfriend is paying for you to come here!"
"At least I have somebody," Santana snapped back.
"Alright you two, take that into your apartment!" Rachel said. This was going to be a long year, Santana and Quinn knew each other from England and were best friends but ever since they arrived to go to NYU, their relationship had turned sour. Mercedes and Rachel, both from McKinley High School in Lima, Ohio, met the pair during their orientation. At first they were excited to find out that Santana and Quinn would be living next to them, but quickly after moving in they began to dread it.
"Seriously, you guys are killing our move-in buzz factor. Go back to your dorm! Your schedules should be online by now anyways!" Mercedes snapped after the girls continued to argue. They just shrugged and left, though Rachel could still hear them fighting next door.
"I wonder how long it's gonna be until one of them gets kicked out," she remarked, deciding to check her class rosters. The only one she really cared about was her music theatre class and she was excited to see who she would be studying with. One name, however, caused her to gasp.
"What's up white girl?" Mercedes asked.
"Cedes, you're not gonna believe who is on my class list!"
"Who?"
"Prince Blaine of Wales."
"SERIOUSLY?" Mercedes practically pushed Rachel out of the chair to see if the name was still there, and sure enough it was: Blaine Wales.
"I have to call Kurt! He'll be so jealous!"
"Poor boy! Now he'll feel even worse about not making it into Julliard!"
"I can't believe it, Cedes! I'm going to be in the presence of royalty twice a week for the next six months!"
His full title was Prince Blaine Henry Charles Louis of Wales and he was third in line for the throne of England. That really didn't matter to him though, his grandmother seemed to be able to live forever and his father would rule before him. He had at least 20 years before he had to worry about becoming king. That's why, to his friends, he was simply known as Blaine Warbler. It was the name he'd gotten as a member of the Warblers, the Glee Club at his old private school in England.
When his final year approached, his glee teacher suggested applying to Julliard. So he did, with his grandmother's permission. After a few video auditions, Blaine Wales was accepted. While his father might have preferred him going to study business or ruling a country, he was supportive. So was his younger brother, Prince Jacob. He'd imagine his late mother, Margaret of Wales, would be as well if she were alive. He wouldn't know though, she'd died when he was only 10. It just proved to him that even princesses weren't immune from cancer, a lesson that freaked him out completely.
Pushing those thoughts aside, he entered his new private dorm. It had been redone for security purposes but it was a start. At least somewhere in his new crazy world he could have a place for privacy. He was looking around when a note slid under his door. He picked it up, but only glanced for a second. Because then the person knocked, and Blaine let him in.
"I see you got my note," a tall guy said with a smile, "Welcome to New York, Your Highness. I'm Finn Hudson, and this here's Noah Puckerman."
"Call me Puck, Your Highness," the guy next to him, who had a Mohawk, said.
"What can I do for you?" Blaine asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
"We want to be your wingmen," Finn answered.
"Wingmen?"
"To be blunt, Your Highness…"
"You can call me Blaine, Puck. There's no need to be so formal."
"Well, Blaine, we know there are plenty of girls around here that would love the chance to be with you. There's no way you can handle them all…"
"So you just want the girls?" Blaine asked in amusement. He should probably be offended, but he found it hilarious.
"In so many words, yes."
"I tell you what, you guys buy me a drink tonight and you can be my wingmen for as long as you want!"
"We have to buy a prince a drink? SERIOUSLY?" Finn exclaimed, in mock rage. Blaine just laughed.
"Here I'm just plain Blaine Wales," he replied. Puck rolled his eyes.
"Tell that to all the girls that waited to meet you!"
"Just come out with us tonight," Finn said, "There will be plenty of girls around and classes don't start till Monday anyways."
"I'll be there. I just remind you, I'm not so much of a ladies' man."
" With your looks," Puck replied, "We should be fine." It was Blaine's turn to roll his eyes, which actually caused Finn to laugh.
"Just be ready tonight, Blaine. We'll show you what New York is all about!"
"Should I fear for my life?"
"Probably."
"I can't wait!"
