I totally forgot to mention yesterday that I'm over 3,000 reviews! I wish I had some words but they've all escaped me. Except if your screen name is Filmgirl87, because you were my 3,000th reviewer and as such, you deserve a reward =D so PM me, okay?

I also realized I have a few of those people who never messaged me. If I could remember your screen names, I'd remind you. Just go back to the chapter where prompts closed (something like 79?) and there'll be two names there, one of which hasn't messaged me to get their reward yet. Okay?

I say okay a lot...

From Sage of Asgard and similarly prompted by Lozzipalooza X and cupcakeeeee15: they srsly[sic] should have kissed just after they danced in that episode. (Prom Queen)

With the eyes of the almost completely homophobic student body on them, oh absolutely. No, I believe it was perfect not having them kiss in the episode, but I'm always up for a challenge anyway.

TGTDOSBDK. And the definition of TGTDOSBDK (which I have shared with you guys earlier but it appears many of you have forgotten) = They Got Together During Original Song But Didn't Kiss. Remember that, okay? :)

Danced

"I can't," Karofsky whispered brokenly before turning on his heel and all but bolting from the auditorium.

And for the third time that night, Kurt felt everybody's eyes trained on him alone, staring into him as if to ask so, what are you going to now, huh?

And he didn't know. He could ask one of the girls to dance, possibly, after all, Rachel was standing there biting her lip with endless sympathy in her eyes. He was just about ready to step towards her - and he would have asked Quinn too if she were here considering both girls were dateless now - when her gaze fell just behind him. A second later, the voice came.

"Excuse me,"

Kurt turned, scarcely daring to believe it was true. But there was Blaine, his boyfriend Blaine, the one who had been beaten up at his last dance for being there with a guy. Standing there, holding out his hand.

"May I have this dance?"

He knew that he was smiling like an idiot and everybody was staring at them. He knew there would be disgusted people turning away, wondering how two guys can do stuff like that? But he couldn't care less.

"Yes," he breathed, trying to convey every emotion possible into the word - how relieved he was that Blaine had stepped in, how much this dance really meant to him and how proud he was of his boyfriend for stepping up.

Blaine moved in and took his hands, positioning them into the right places - Kurt noticing idly that he had let Kurt take the male position - and they began to dance as Mercedes sang the first lines.

"Friday night, and the lights are low,"

Kurt knew this song was immediately going into his favourites. It may be cliche and overdone, but right now he and Blaine were slow dancing to it and that made it absolutely perfect in his mind. He stared into Blaine's eyes, trying to read what was going on in there. He could see hints of fear and squeezed his hand reassuringly - no matter what happened tonight, they were going to work through it together.

And then Blaine smiled and it was as if the sun had come out. He began to dance a little more erratically, Kurt laughing in delight as both boys relaxed. While dancing with his boyfriend romantically would have been wonderful, he knew they would have plenty of time for things like that. Right now, they were here to have fun.

The dance floor filled, Quinn even making a reappearance and smiling almost apologetically at Rachel before she joined Mercedes and Santana singing. Kurt wondered for a second why Santana had volunteered to sing this number when she was in the running for Prom Queen, before deciding it wasn't important right now.

What was important was that in all the fun and dancing, Blaine hadn't let go of his hands. Kurt turned his attention back to his boyfriend who was smiling at him, his eyes absolutely glowing with emotion. "Thank you," Kurt murmured, wishing there were better words to convey just how much he really felt. He knew how much it had taken his boyfriend to do what he did, and he did it for Kurt.

"You're welcome." Blaine tugged on his hands to draw him a little bit closer and Kurt stepped in until they were almost toe to toe. The crowd quickly spread into the gaps as any crowd does, leaving the boys nowhere to go as people danced around them. Not that Kurt was minding that at all.

Blaine's face was only inches from his now and Kurt acted on instinct. He couldn't find the words to express just how much he loved Blaine for what he had done that night.

So as the final notes of Dancing Queen echoed around them and the crowd went wild, Kurt leant in and kissed him.

He had never dreamt his first proper kiss with Blaine would ever be back at McKinley, but he couldn't bring himself to regret it. Not when Blaine's lips were softly dancing with his and his hands trembling ever so lightly in his grasp.

Kurt was the first to break away, reluctant but remembering where they were. He spent a few more moments memorizing the look in Blaine's eyes - dazed, overwhelmed and unbelievably happy - before turning to check if anybody was staring at them. A couple of students hastily turned away, looking slightly shocked. One of the jocks glared at him and mimed sticking his finger down his throat - Kurt just rolled his eyes and smiled sweetly at him.

And there was Rachel, beaming at them with her hands clasped together, holding Kurt's scepter between them. Kurt offered her a genuine smile, noticing Blaine was doing the same. He knew her prom hadn't turned out how she had wanted it to, but seeing her happy was enough for Kurt. And he saw the way Finn had been looking at her - it wasn't long until Rachel Berry was going to get her own beautiful moment. Kurt was sure of it.

"Hey," Blaine was whispering in his ear and Kurt shivered slightly. "How about we go get some photos?"

Kurt realized everybody else from Glee was heading over to the photo area, something they hadn't had the chance to do throughout the night with their performances. Prom was beginning to pack up with pre-recorded music playing out of the speakers, and the photo area had been deserted by the other students long ago.

He nodded. "That sounds fantastic." Releasing Blaine's hands, he stepped over to Rachel and took the scepter from her, before leaning in and whispering in her ear. "Your day is going to come, Rachel. Just be patient."

He kissed her lightly on the cheek before her arms wrapped around him in a quick hug. She released him, smiling softly, before turning towards Sam and Mercedes who were calling her in for a photo. Kurt turned back to Blaine and couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Majesty," Blaine said after returning from his bow. "May I escort you to the photo area?"

Kurt pretended to deliberate, waving his scepter around a little. "Well, I suppose I may grant you the honor."

He held his arm out and Blaine took it. Neither of them could quite contain their smile but neither of them really cared. Because, despite everything, it had been a perfect night.

I really do feel there's more to the Kurt/Rachel friendship than gets let on (EDIT: Okay, after watching New York, there definitely is. But I miss Kurt/Mercedes friendship so much!). And the girl is growing on me a little (EDIT: Not so much after New York), especially with the story I'm writing that's all about her. I mean, I still hate a lot of her actions, but when her nice side shines through, it's really quite wonderful to see. Same with Quinn, I hate bitch Quinn but when she's being nice and thinking of others, I love her.

Me: "Huh. I wonder where Kurt got the recipe. I-"

My mom(in the background): "EMILY. DID YOU TAKE. MY. RECIPE?"

Me: "...um... so... that's where he got it... I should go and-"

Rachel: Would you like some I'm Sorry cook-"

Me: "BYE RACHEL." *storms off to Dalton*
