Prom

(A Jensen Ackles One-shot) 

It's Senior year. Prom time. Most everyone's been asked and they're already planning the details. Enter Dmitri. He's the ultimate fanboy and the fandom's best friend. He's passionate about what he likes and isn't afraid to say what he thinks. One of his many favorite conversation topics is Jensen Ackles.

Dmitri doesn't have a date to Prom. Most of the girls would say no if he asked- they made that painfully clear at the beginning of the year, 'cuz they just can't handle his awesomeness- so he didn't bother. And the few girls that would've gone with him are spoken for. So he's dateless. But it's his Senior year and he doesn't want to miss his last school dance, even though most school dances end up being lame anyways... But he doesn't want to go alone...

So he formulates a plan!

"Mom, can I borrow one of your old Prom dresses and a crown? Preferably a Princess one?" Dmitri asks his mom one day.

"What for?" she asks, a skeptical expression mixing with her curiosity.

"Uh... school project... for Prom," he replies.

Still a bit concerned, his mom lends him the requested materials. He gets right to work. Looks like he will have a date after all.

—Day of Prom—

The dance starts in five minutes and Dmitri doesn't want to be too late. He steps out of his room, dressed in a tux, his date in tow. Neither of his parents have seen his 'project' as of yet, and are standing by the front door, interested to see what their son has created. As Dmitri and his date reach the end of the hallway and turn the corner into his parents' view, he clears his throat to get their attention. They turn to look. His dad's eyes widen and he doubles over with laughter. His mom merely cracks a smile, obviously better at controlling herself than her husband. Dmitri can't help but chuckle a bit himself. For at his side, Dmitri is holding up a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Jensen Ackles... and on the cut-out is Dmitri's mom's old dress and a Princess crown.

"That's lovely, dear," his mom says, the strain of not laughing evident in her voice.

"Jensen Ackles is a Princess," Dmitri says, somewhat giddy.

"Buddy, I think your date's a bit taller than you. Maybe you should ask her to take off her heels," his dad gasps between fits of boisterous laughter.

He's laughing so hard he collapses into the nearest chair. By now his mom has lost her control and is beginning to giggle. Dmitri smiles up at the glorious face of his date, his laughter making his vision begin to blur.

"I'm definitely going to have the prettiest date there," he says as his mom gets out her camera to take pictures of this beautiful moment.

Then Dmitri's off to the dance, the sound of his parents' laughter still ringing in his ears.

With a big smile on his face, he wraps an arm around his date's waist as he walks into the gymnasium, already mostly full of people. Several kids turn to look at him when he enters. Some furrow their eyebrows in confusion, some merely turn away, and some smile and give him a thumbs up. A small group of girls almost immediately surround Dmitri and his gorgeous date.

When it's time to recognize the Seniors, Dmitri walks to the middle of the floor with confidence. The teacher reading the card is struggling to keep his cool.

"Dmitri- and his date- Jensen Ackles," he has to keep pausing in order to get it all out.

Everyone cheers loudly and Dmitri dips Jensen and pretends to kiss the cut-out very dramatically. Everyone cheers louder.

At the end of the night, Dmitri ends up sitting on his couch, watching a movie with his parents and date. His left arm drapes lazily around Jensen's cardboard shoulders and he's smiling.

Best night ever.
