Prompt: Toby - "There is literally no-one in the world I don't hate right now" - 'The West Wing'
Prom Queen. Finn couldn't believe that his peers had gone as far to elect Kurt Prom Queen as some sick joke. Things had been going so well since Kurt's return to McKinley and no one had bothered casting a second glance at Kurt when he had shown up with Blaine.
Finn realized now that it had been the calm before the storm. In order for them to pull something like that, whoever was behind it had to have been planning it long before tonight. One name in particular came to mind, Azimio. Though Finn doubted Azimio could have pulled it off alone, he had no doubt his teammate was the ring leader.
Finn hated that Kurt and people like him had to live in fear of things like that and he felt guilty that he hadn't been there for Kurt tonight. If he hadn't got kicked out of the prom. . .
But he had and that meant that Kurt had to face the situation without out him. He had failed at his promise to have his stepbrother's back. He couldn't change that now but he could offer his support. Kurt might have been putting on a brave face for his father but Finn could tell it was all an act.
Knocking on Kurt's door a muffled 'go away' was the response that he got.
Finn tried the doorknob and found it locked.
"Kurt, I'm not going anywhere until you talk to me. I'll camp out here all night if I have too."
Though he didn't get a response Finn did here the door unlock a few moments later. Grasping the door knob, Finn pushed the door open to find a dark room. Though just a shadow, Finn saw Kurt climbing back into his bed, burying his face in the pillow.
Finn flipped the light on before pushing the door shut behind him. On top of the dresser, Finn noticed the crown and scepter from the prom. Walking quietly over to the bed, he perched on the edge of it.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you tonight."
"You wouldn't have been able to change anything," Kurt replied, his voice muffled from the pillow.
"Maybe not, but I should have been there for support."
"One night, Finn. All I wanted was one night. Is that too much to ask?"
"It shouldn't be," Finn told him. "I'll find out who was responsible for this."
Kurt turned his head, to reveal red, puffy eyes and a tear stained face. "Just let it go, Finn. I don't want you getting into more trouble."
"It would be worth it. You're worth it just like standing up for Rachel was worth getting thrown out of the prom."
Kurt smiled a bit at Finn's confession. Just hearing Finn say that made things better. Sitting up, he hugged Finn tightly.
"Knowing you're on my side is enough. Stay out of trouble," Kurt told him softly as Finn hugged him back.
