Starstruck II: Saruman's Curse

Will You Be Mine? (Valentine's Day AU)

Cas's house was huge. Bigger than everyone else's, which was why they were having their slumber party there. Charlie, Sam, Kevin, Harry, Steve, Ezri, and Jo were all there, in Cas's room, talking about the upcoming school dance.

"Do any of you guys have dates for the Valentine's Day dance?" asked Charlie.

She got a chorus of 'no's in response.

"Why, do you?" asked Cas.

"Well... Not exactly..." said Charlie. "But I was thinking about asking someone."

"Who?!" asked Jo.

"I was thinking about asking Paris from the Rhythm Fusion gang..." said Charlie, quietly.

Everyone erupted in a chorus of excited exclamations.

"Guys! Guys! I might not," she said. "I mean, she is in the Rhythm Fusions after all, and besides, she probably already has a date..."

"Charlie, you have to do it!" said Jo.

"Yeah! Do it!" said Kevin.

"Oh, shut up Kevin," said Charlie. "Are you even going to the dance?"

"I am," he said. "Harry and I are going together."

Kevin slung an arm over Harry and Harry responded with a kiss to his cheek. Charlie looked at everyone else. "What about you guys? Are any of you going?"

"I'd like to," said Ezri.

"Why don't you go with me?" asked Sam. Everyone went silent and stared at them. Ezri turned a bright shade of scarlet, her eyes wide.

"Yes! Of course I'll go with you!" she said when she got herself together. "I thought you were going with JJ?"

"Nope. She decided she wanted to go with her friends instead," said Sam. "What about you Steve? Are you going?"

"I don't know...maybe. It depends," he said. He unscrewed the cap of his Mountain Dew and took a sip. He was wearing his plaid pajama pants and a Steven Universe t-shirt.

"Depends on what?" asked Harry.

"If I get the nerve to ask Jimmy K out," he said. Everyone nodded in understanding. Steve had been trying to get with Jimmy K for all four of their years of high school, but Jimmy always seemed to be dating someone else.

"Cas, what about you?" asked Sam. "Are you going to finally ask out my brother?"

Cas turned the same shade that Ezri was just a second ago before answering. "Maybe. I'll think about it."

"Well, you definitely should," said Sam. "I know he wanted to go with someone."

"You should do it!" said Jo.

"Are you going?" Cas asked Jo.

"Me? I'm not going!" she said, turning red.

Charlie then remembered why Jo doesn't want to go. "Oh... yeah, I'm sorry that happened Jo."

"What happened?" asked Kevin.

"She was going to ask Rey, from her mechanics class, but Finn asked her already," said Charlie.

"What?" Kevin sat up. "But I heard that Poe is going with Finn!"

Everyone looked around the circle confused. Everyone in the school knew who Poe Dameron was. Everyone was in love with him; teachers, students, parents...and if you weren't in love with him, you had a crush on him at some point in the four years there. So the fact that he was supposedly going to the dance with both the feral desert child, exchange student, Rey, and super sheltered, super religious new student, Finn, was something to be surprised by.
