Prompt: Chloe Sullivan - "Stop acting like a Vegas bookie picks your dates." - 'Smallville'
"Why do girls make such a big deal over what color corsage you buy?" David asked out loud as he put his cell phone away. The Valentine's Day Dance for Dalton and Crawford County Day was only days away and even the guys at Dalton were looking forward to it.
"Because if you have a flower that clashes with the dress it just ruins the whole ensemble," Kurt replied not looking up from the novel for English class he was trying to read as he hadn't quite finished the assignment the night before.
"I usually just buy Sarah a white rose corsage," Wesley commented. "White will go with anything and what girl doesn't like roses."
"At least you guys all have dates," Thad muttered, paging through his little black book. He had thought he was going to take Amy to the dance but Amy had saw him out with Erin the night before and got upset. After she had told him she wasn't going to the dance with him, his date with Erin had ended with ice tea being dumped over his head. "I've called three girls today and all of them have dates. How am I going to find another date before the dance."
"Perhaps if you actually took a little time to treat your dates right instead of dating girls like you're a bookie taking bets then you would still be going with Amy," Kurt commented, his eyes still focused on his novel.
"Says the guy without a date," Thad countered, miffed at the comment. He glared down the lunch table at the counter tenor.
Kurt shrugged his shoulders. "I'll find the right person eventually," he replied. "Until I do though, I don't plan on dating everyone who bats their eyes at me."
"Really. You won't date me," David joked, making a bad attempt at batting his eyes at Kurt who was sitting across the table from him.
Kurt looked up from his novel. "If I thought you were serious, I'd consider it. However, you have a girlfriend whom you need to get the right color corsage for," Kurt told him, getting chuckles from the other guys at the table.
"You two making jokes is not helping my dating situation," Thad commented.
"Then perhaps you should just start at the beginning of that book and start making calls," Blaine told him.
"I like that idea," Thad said, getting to his feet. "Thanks, Blaine," he added as he walked away.
"I didn't mean for that suggestion to be taken seriously," Blaine said, looking around at his friends a little worried. The last thing he wanted was Thad mad at him.
"Don't worry," Wes told him. "That suggestion can't get him into any more trouble than he can manage on his own."
"Meanwhile, anyone know what color corsage I should get if Alicia is wearing fuscia?" David asked.
"Go with a white rose," Kurt told him, returning to his novel.
