It all started when a few days ago, Mike was having one of the usual late night Skype talks with his still best friend, Blaine Anderson, scheduling where their next Harry Potter marathon would take place. They had made a tradition of watching the saga at least twice a year, all seven movies in a row. Obviously, they would end up falling asleep or throwing pillows at the TV whenever Umbridge appeared but doing that while sharing a gigantic pizza always made them happy and stress-free.
Tina and Kurt used to joke about it all the time but they would take the opportunity to go to the mall or to watch some Broadway show at Kurt's place. Both Blaine and Mike have been chatting about Kurt, ever since Blaine had told the other boy about his proposal idea.
"Marriage? Wow that- Blaine that's a huge step." His words were careful, trying to understand his friend's intentions.
"Yeah…" Blaine looked down at his desk where a frame of him and Kurt rested. It had been taken last year on one of the last Glee Club hangouts before Graduation. God, it seemed like it was taken ages ago. Shaking his head, trying to set his mind on Earth again, he said "I know it seems crazy and I know the fiasco that was Finn and Rachel's attempted wedding but-"he took a deep breath trying to use the right words for it to make sense, "I just love him Mike." he breathed out, a trace of sadness flashing over his eyes. "And this is my ultimate proof that I can't imagine my life without him."
Mike had been listening closely, nodding his head. Yes, he could be another one of those people who would scream at their best friend and give him a whole speech about how wrong and dangerous a young marriage is but instead he really tried to understand Blaine, not jumping to conclusions or judgments.
"Okay…" Mike started, his voice filled with compassion. "Are you guys dating again?" he wondered. This was such a bold move and Blaine would've told him if they had gotten back together,right?
"N-No, but... I was hoping that if Kurt needs a reassurance that I won't hurt him again, this is the biggest one I could get. I am choosing to share a life with him. It doesn't mean that we've to get married tomorrow, it's really just the gesture." A small grin took over Blaine's face just by thinking about what the future held for the two of them. "That must sound insane, huh?"
"No, not at all actually." This answer earned a surprised gasp from the other side of the screen. "It makes sense and although I'm not sure that's the right thing to do, you're making a move to get him back."
"Yeah" Blaine nodded in response. "Thanks man, I really appreciate your support on this." A huge grin took over his face. He had someone on his side, maybe that idea wasn't so crazy after all.
They both had fallen in a comfortable silence until all of the sudden, Blaine blurted out "You should come to Prom."
"Wha-"Mike lifted his head to look straight to the camera, a confused look taking over.
"No, I'm serious. It would be a great way to-"Blaine starts, trying to choose his words carefully.
"To what?!" he replied, honestly not understand why would he possibly go to a high school Prom when he was no longer a student there. Well, besides…
"Tina, of course!" The smaller boy replied like it was the most obvious answer in the world. He should've guessed that Blaine was not only asking this to see him. He was really glad he had his wingman to help him try to work things out with Tina and he always liked how supportive he was of their relationship. Just like they used to be with his and Kurt's.
Not even a minute of silence had settled between them before Blaine spoke again.
"Mike…she misses you and I know you do too, so just consider it, it'd be good for the both of you." he assured his friend, giving him a comforting smile.
"She does?" Mike asked, uncertain clear in his voice. Without letting Blaine answer, he continued. "Well it doesn't matter anyway, she made it pretty clear she was liking who she was and I don't think she needs me in her life, right now." he cleared, playing with a pen on his desk, avoiding Blaine's look.
Blaine was quiet, again trying to make his friend understand what he meant, without messing it all up. "Tina just needed some time to find herself, you know? She needed to find the confidence to step up and to let no one cross her way. I guess she got a little carried away" he chuckled as Mike grinned along. "But the point is, I think you should give it a try. And Prom would be the perfect opportunity to do that." He ends with a hopeful smile, secretly crossing his fingers in the back of his chair.
"Maybe you're right…" he offers him a small smile. "I'll try to make it."
Mike doesn't even have time to finish his sentence before Blaine is doing a little celebratory dance, spinning around on his desk chair.
"I think you might be a little too excited for this, Anderson." He laughed, amused by his best friend's reaction. "I'm really glad she has you to talk to and support her, though."
"I'm really glad I've her as a friend, as well." He confessed, smiling.
