The Shadowhunter Ball part A

~Three months later~

Rachel came running into the common room where everyone was relaxing for once. She had a gigantic smile on her face and was squealing the news while hopping up and down like a five year old on Christmas. Santana had to stop her in order to get the paper from her hands and her eyes sparks with interest.

"What is it?" Jace asks her.

"Dear shadowhunters of the New York Institute, you are all invited to the Clave for the annual Shadow hunters Ball. Please R.S.V.P ahead of time so we know of your arrival. We hope to see you there." Santana read out loud before placing the paper on the crystal table. "About time we had a little fun."

"What's a shadowhunters ball?" Blaine asked, looking at Kurt who's glasz eyes were sparking with an intensified interest. Kurt looked at him and explained. "Its this big event that the council hosts to celebrate a big achievement."

"Don't forget dancing, music, beautiful gowns..." Mercedes cut in.

"Food, girls, entertainment..." Hunter cut in.

"Its bigger than Magnus Bane's underworld parties." Jace cut in.

"Wow. Okay so do we go? I mean can we?" Blaine said sitting up. He missed Kurt biting his lip behind his back. Hunter and Jace told him all about it and what he'd need to learn. Mercedes scooted over to Kurt and held his hand before nodding to the hall. Kurt followed her and leaned against the wall.

"Spill it Kurt."

"I'm worried about Blaine. Its one thing to be comfortable around us but a ballroom full of shadowhunters who are more intimidating than us? You know more than I that this is more than a ball sometimes."

"You're afraid of it being part initiation, aren't you?" Mercedes asked, knowing shadowhunter initiation could be.
"Kurt, you of all people know Blaine can go through it. He's strong."

"Maybe you're right cedes but I can't help but fear that it'll be too much for him."

"Well let's see when we get there. Now why don't we go shopping for our attire? You know you want to." She nudged him playfully until a smile appeared on his face. Seeing Kurt smile made her smile. He hasn't done that in a long time.

"Oh Mercedes. You know me too well. Come on let's get back." He gives her a hug before they walk hand in hand back to the common room.

The next few weeks leading up to the ball was filled with coordinating and shopping and teaching Blaine the way to greet, dance, the delegates etc. He hardly got to see Kurt and when he did they spent it either making out on the roof, dancing and singing in the garden, having sexy time in either of their rooms or going out for dinner. The night of the ball, Kurt was getting ready with Mercedes, Rachel, Santana, Tina, Quinn, Brittany and Clary. Mercedes was wearing a long violet gown with black lace straps, Rachel wore a simple long red gown that was strapless and showed off her shoulders very well, Santana went with a black and gold mermaid style gown, Tina went with a blue and black sheer covered tulle gown, Quinn went with a green split above the knee dress that had a low cut halter bodice with green lace sheer under it, Brittany went with a blue dress that she said made her feel like Cinderella and Clary went with an all black lace two piece dress. They were putting their finishing touches on their hair when Kurt called out.

"I don't know about this. Clary, why did I let your boyfriend pick out my suit again?"

"Because he's your cousin and you love him and he insisted after he made Blaine hit you with the puppy look."

"Porcelain it can't be that horrendous. Get out here."

"Wow thanks for the sentiment Santana. I almost felt that one."
