The day of the coronation arrived and excitement was in the air! Everyone in school had the day off to prepare for Blaine's coronation that afternoon. Princes were getting out their brand-new suits made especially for the event, princesses were dusting off old ball gowns and trying to impress boys for last minute dates.
Kurt was sat in his dorm with Quinn looking solemnly into the mirror as Quinn was styling his hair.
"What's wrong with your face?" Quinn joked, noticing the sad looking boy.
"Today is our last day here. I'm going to miss this place. And that's something I never thought I'd say," Kurt grumbled.
"Wow! Kurt, son of Maleficent is turning good," Quinn chuckled.
"I am not! I've just learnt to appreciate this place. Besides, it's not like I have a reason to stay," he added.
"What about Blaine? I know he's under a spell or whatever but you cant look me in the eye and tell me you don't feel something for him," she teased. Kurt glared at her but didn't say a word. "Anyway, you, are going to look fabulous at this coronation. I dare say that this is some of my best work."
"You're right Q, this suit is amazing," Kurt told her sincerely, "do you think Blaine will like it?"
"Definitely!" Blaine exclaimed from behind Quinn, standing in the doorway. "Kurt, you look beautiful."
"I don't," Kurt blushed, standing up and brushing his new suit down. The way the midnight blue complemented Blaine's own outfit went perfectly, and Kurt definitely wasn't going to complain about the way that Blaine was looking at him.
"Are you ready to go?" Blaine asked with a wide smile.
"Sure. Q?" Kurt replied.
"I'm going to meet Artie, I kinda agreed to being his date," Quinn squeaked.
"What? Oh my God, no way! I'm so happy for you Quinny!" Kurt squealed back at his best friend.
"Never call me that again!" she growled in good humour with a smile on her face. Kurt took Blaine's arm and quickly grabbed a box off the dressing table. Inside the purple box was a brownie, a brownie that contained the anti-love spell that Kurt had placed on Blaine. It wasn't fair on keeping Blaine in love with him if he wasn't going to be around much longer. He had made it the night before when the other villains had gone to sleep after their meeting.
FLASHBACK!
"Okay, I will be at the front with Blaine. When Emma takes out the wand, I will grab it. Quinn and Mike, you will be up in the rafters waiting for me to look up at you, letting you know I'm ready. Puck, you will be at the doors, waiting for Quinn's signal. You will then go and grab the limo that got us here and stay in the driver's seat, see if you can figure out how to actually drive it. After I grab the wand, Mike will release Dude and blow a dog whistle which will make him bark; this will get the audience's attention and they will keep their eyes off me until I can reach the steps. Then once I recite the spell I found to temporarily freeze the crowd I will grab the wand and we will all run for it… Got it?"
FLASHBACK END!
Blaine and Kurt were approaching the Anderson castle, they were being drawn in a beautiful horse and carriage; they were nearly at their journey's end so he had to do it now.
"Hey, Blaine?" Kurt asked. Blaine smiled at him in recognition. "I made you something, something for later," he smiled innocently. Blaine opened the small, purple box and smiled.
"Thanks Kurt," Blaine thanked as he pulled out the brownie.
"You know its for later," Kurt repeated again, hoping Blaine will get the message.
"I can't wait for later, I'm going to eat it now. I bet it tastes great!" Blaine grinned and took a massive bite.
"No-" Kurt tried to stop him, but it was too late. Blaine was chewing and then swallowing the chocolate treat. Kurt was just waiting for Blaine to change back and kick him out of the carriage when the strangest thing happened.
"This is really good," Blaine pointed out, as he continued to eat the brownie.
"Do you feel any different?" Kurt wondered aloud.
"Hmm, I dunno. I guess we're going to have to wait a few minutes for the anti-love potion to take affect," Blaine explained. Kurt nodded along, until it clicked.
"What?!" he exclaimed. Blaine began to chuckle, almost uncontrollably when he saw Kurt's face. "You knew?! All this time and you knew? How?!" Kurt almost screamed when he saw Blaine laughing.
"Since our first date. The lake that I went in, must have been enchanted and shook the spell off," Blaine supposed.
"So what? You've been faking it since then?" Kurt asked sulkily.
"Kurt… I haven't been faking anything," Blaine admitted to the beautiful boy in front of him. He reached for Kurt's chin and drew him closer so he could kiss him. Kurt took a second to adjust, then relaxed into the soft and loving kiss. Kurt realised that Quinn was right… This boy- no, man- right here was a big reason, in fact his only reason to stay. Right here. In this moment. Forever.
Blaine pulled away first, he gave Kurt a loving smile and a wink, before turning his attention to the upcoming crowds. Throngs of people, royal and peasant alike had gathered to see Prince Blaine, become King Blaine. Albeit, some of the girls and admittedly some of the boys did look disappointed when they saw that Kurt was in the carriage beside him, but nobody, not even an anti-love potion could make Blaine love this boy any less.
The carriage stopped, and the small door was opened by a ratty-faced footman and held out his hand for Blaine to take so he could get down the stairs. Blaine took it graciously and descended the four steps carefully. Blaine then dismissed the man and held his own hand out for Kurt, Blaine knew that Kurt didn't want to touch the disgusting looking man. Blaine smirked at Kurt for a moment as Kurt's face silently thanked him.
"Are you ready?" Kurt whispered excitedly. Although he was there for a reason other than Blaine, he couldn't help the excited, happy feeling he felt when he saw everyone cheering and clapping for Blaine. Blaine offered his hand, and led Kurt up the stone steps where Blaine's parents were stood, dressed in their best, smiling at their son. Kurt knew he hadn't made the best first impression of Blaine's parent's but he was hoping they would tolerate him for the next hour or so until he completely broke their trust. And Blaine's. Kurt didn't even want to think about that yet; he just wanted to enjoy the next sixty minutes enjoying his time with Blaine and taking in Dalton thinking about his past few weeks there.
The first part of the coronation was a bore. All it was was Emma Godmother reading sickeningly nice passages out of a huge book that looked like it would take forever to read. Then she had to renounce Blaine's dad as king, and surprisingly Blaine's mother went and stood next to him, ready for herself to be renounced also, something not many people knew about according to the crowds' astonished faces.
After Blaine's dad took off his crown and placed it on a cushion next to a round thing, the great doors opened at the back, and Blaine began walking down the hall slowly, nodding at everyone in the floor seats and even acknowledged the people in the rafters, including Quinn and Mike.
Blaine reached the stairs and winked at Kurt as he climbed the few steps to where Emma Godmother was standing.
"Prince Blaine," she smiled. "Do you solemnly swear in front of everyone gathered here today, that you will do your very best to protect and love everybody in this kingdom of Dalton?"
"I do, solemnly swear," he answered with pristine diction and-
"Hey I want air time too!" Maleficent yelled as she pulled the story away from the coronation for a few moments. "Right that's better! I know my son and his friends have managed to infiltrate the castle. Evil Queen is excited because her daughter sewed a suit, whereas my particularly wicked son, managed to snag the prince. I cannot wait for the next few moments! Villains, to the televisual screen, we need to watch our children do what we taught them to do!" she cackled evilly, turning back to the TV…
"And finally do you promise to uphold your duties as king in times of trouble and strife? And strive to make Dalton, the very best it can possibly be?" Emma Godmother asked.
"I do, solemnly swear," Blaine replied for the fifth time. Emma Godmother smiled and approached the round covered thing and pulled the sheet off.
The wand!
Kurt glanced up at Quinn, she nodded and looked at Puck in the distance. Kurt knew he had to move fast, otherwise he would miss his chance! So many feelings were rushing through his head… Did he really need to do this? Was it really that important? Would his mother still love him if he didn't complete his task? His head was constantly saying yes, but his heart was saying no, and something about being good really appealed to him. Love. Love that he had never felt or experienced in his whole 17 years. Love that the man knelt on the steps had for him was something more powerful than any spell or potion. And Kurt knew he just had to listen to what his heart was telling him… if only…
As Emma raised the wand, to officially crown Blaine, it was taken out of her grasp and a spark of magic flew out of it, causing the whole room to shake. The whole room gasped!
*************************************************************************************************************************************
"Yes! He's done it! Villains! We .Are. Free!" Maleficent cackled as she disappeared from sight.
"Where'd she go?" Cruella asked, dumbfounded.
*************************************************************************************************************************************
"Child! What are you doing?" Emma gasped.
"I. Want. To. Be. Beautiful!" Rachel screamed, as she struggled with the wand which was sending zaps of light everywhere. Kurt was absolutely shocked, and couldn't help feeling guilty about Rachel. He had granted her the hair she wanted and then took it away from her. He did the only thing he could think of.
"Stop!" Kurt shouted, stealing the wand out of Rachel's grasp. He pointed it up in the air.
"Kurt, give me the wand, dear," Emma asked kindly, stepping forward.
"No, don't," Kurt warned, turning the wand on her.
"Kurt, don't do this. You are better than this," Blaine's mother told him, an encouraging smile on her face.
"No! I can't! We are hear for this reason only! My mum is counting on me to do this. All our parents are. They just want the wand," Kurt explained, tears prickling his eyes.
"Kurt, baby. Don't do this. Look at me, do you want to hurt me?" Blaine questioned, nothing but kindness and calm in his voice. Kurt stopped in his tracks to think.
"No," he whispered. "I don't want to hurt anyone."
"Then give me the wand," Emma added.
"I told you they were evil!" Sebastian shouted from the crowd, Kurt turning on him in anger with the wand pointing his way.
"Kurt. Look at me," Blaine reassured, stepping closer to Kurt. Kurt stuck his eyes on Blaine's every movement, until he was right in front of him. "I know what your head is telling you, but fight it. Listen to your heart," Blaine whispered, caressing Kurt's cheek slowly. Kurt seemed to physically surrender to Blaine's touch.
"I want to listen to my heart too," Kurt told him, smiling slightly. He looked to the crowd, where his friends had now gathered. Quinn, Mike and Puck were now looking at him, smiles on their faces, even Puck's. They knew what they had to do.
"Do it, Kurt," Puck encouraged, nodding his head to Blaine.
"Yeah, man. Give him it," Mike said. Quinn just giggled and nodded her head in response.
"Have you decided what you want?" Blaine asked.
"I don't want to be evil anymore. I want to be good. I want to stay here, and go to school and make friends. I want love, and friendship. And Blaine," Kurt turned to the prince, "I want you." Blaine smiled wildly and gently took the wand, Kurt offered. Once he handed it to Emma Godmother, Blaine ran back to Kurt and spun him around in the air.
"I want you too," Blaine agreed, kissing Kurt in his arms. The whole crowd cheered, as Blaine slowly placed Kurt onto the ground. Things looked like they were finally looking up!
Whoop whoop! Good conquers evil apparently! This was such a fun chapter to write and hope you all liked it. One more to come! Lots of love and klisses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
