Author's Note: So, in between college classes, working on a fic from another fandom, being bombarded with fic ideas that may or may not see the light of day, and worrying about my cat, who's been missing for almost a month (oh, Fluffy, please, please come home! *sobs*), I haven't had the time to focus on this fic (unless you count having writer's block). Finally, I was able to come up with an idea for this chapter the other night—this is what happens when I think about Kurtty while trying to sleep. :D
I guess I should say right now that this one-shot ought to be dedicated to my cat. 'Cause you can't spell "Fluffy" without "fluff."
Disclaimer: The lyrics in this one-shot are from "What About Now" by Daughtry.
Dance
Kurt and Kitty walked into the gymnasium of Bayville High, where the end-of-the-year prom was in full swing. The place had been decorated with red and white streamers, balloons, and a banner or two, there was a long table off to the side that had snacks and drinks, and music was playing from a stereo sound system in a corner.
Kurt idly tugged at the black tux he was wearing and took a few seconds to admire his girlfriend. Kitty was dressed in a pale pink, sleeveless dress that almost reached the floor, with elbow-length gloves of the same color.
"Vell, princess, shall ve dance?" Kurt asked only half-jokingly, offering her his hand.
Kitty smiled back, taking Kurt's hand in hers. "Why else would I be here?"
As they walked to the dance floor to join dozens of other pairs, Kitty continued. "So, if I'm supposed to be a princess, does that make you my knight in shining armor?"
"More like a knight in fuzzy armor," Kurt answered, "but vhat's ze difference?"
Kitty put her hands on his shoulders with a slight grin on her face. "Okay then, knight in fuzzy armor. Any chance of the party being crashed by inter-dimensional dinosaurs?"
"No chance at all." Kurt smirked playfully as he put his hands around her waist. "Vhy? Hoping I'll come to your rescue?"
Kitty snorted. "A nice sentiment, sir knight, but your princess just so happens to be a warrior princess."
Kurt had to laugh at that. "I knew zere vas a reason I loved you."
For about half an hour or so, the couple swayed and spun to the music, paying no mind to anyone but each other. When a song Kurt didn't recognize began, he thought of asking if Kitty wanted to take a break, but decided against it when he saw her eyes brighten (apparently, she knew this song).
Kitty looked thoughtful as the song played.
"What about now? What about today?" she sang softly. "What if you're making me all that I was meant to be?"
Kitty ignored the questioning look Kurt was giving her as she placed her head on his chest, continuing to sing. "What if our love never went away? What if it's lost behind words we could never find?"
She lifted her head to look at Kurt again. "Baby, before it's too late, what about now?"
Kurt paused for a moment as they stopped dancing. "I believe ze expression is, 'A penny for your zoughts'?"
Kitty shrugged. "Just thinking about the future, I guess."
"Anyzing in particular?"
"Only whether or not I'll fit into your suitcase if you ever go away to college," Kitty joked weakly.
"You'd do zat? I'm touched." Kurt then decided to change the subject. "So, Kätzchen, having fun so far?"
"Yeah, it's been nice." Kitty smiled. "Want to dance some more?"
Kurt thought this over. "Actually, I zink I have somezing else in mind. Come on."
"Where are we going?" Kitty asked as he took her hand and led her out into the hall.
"You'll see." And with that, Kurt picked Kitty up bridal style (she let out a surprised, "Whoa!") and teleported.
A few minutes later, Kurt and Kitty were at the park, standing in front of a pond. He set her down on her feet. The moon was reflected in the water, and all that could be heard was the sound of crickets.
"Why are we out here?" Kitty asked.
"Just a spur-of-ze-moment zing," Kurt said with a shrug. He turned off his image inducer and picked Kitty up again, spinning her around as she laughed.
"So vhat do you say, my lady?" Kurt asked after he'd pulled Kitty close to him, smiling brightly. "Von last dance before ve go home?"
Kitty grinned back. "Absolutely, sir knight."
And they danced, with the crickets' chirps being their only music.
