High School Sweethearts [Discontinued]

The Winter Dance

It's happening! It's happening! Everyone stay calm! Don't die from the cuteness. Enjoy!

--------------

Hank's P.O.V.

Tonight is the Winter Dance. I'll get to take Connor as my date. I can't wait! I should surprise him today. I know exactly what to do. I quickly got ready and ate some pop tarts. I bolted out the door and got to school very early. I went straight to the art room and got to work. Connor is going to love this!

Connor's P.O.V.

I woke up with a smile on my face. The Winter Dance is tonight! I'm so excited. I pratically jumped out of bed. "Easy there short stack. We don't need you getting any more injuries before tonight," Conan said with a sleepy smile. I laughed and said, "Sorry. I'm just very excited." "I can tell," Conan said while sitting up. We both got ready and headed downstairs. I had my usual toast and Conan had some cereal. I left for school with the others shortly after finishing. 

At School

"Hey Markus!" I know that voice. It's North. She ran up to Markus and said, "Can I talk to you alone?"  Markus looked skeptical at first but joined hernin an empty classroom. "What do you think she wants this time?" Kara asked. "Her stress levels were very high. She might be confessing something," I replied. "Hopefully she stops trying to break up Simon and Markus," Kara said. "Me too. Her heart seems to race around them both and Josh too," I said. "Are you suggesting that she might like all three of them?" Kara asked as we reached my locker. "It seems that way to me from previous analyses," I replied as I put in my combination.

After the final click my locker door burst open. Light blue and white confetti fell around me. Inside my locker was a painting of me and Hank on our first date. Strong arms wrapped around my waist from behind. It was Hank. "Do you like it?" he asked. I turned my head and gave him a peck on the cheek. I replied, "Of course I do. When did you have time to paint this?" "I have my ways," he said in a sexy tone.

We cleaned up the confetti and the bell rang. Hank gave me a note and headed to his first class. The note read:

We've been nominated for cutest couple! How?

-H

I sat down at a desk and stared at the note. We what?!?! People actually think we're... a cute couple? After all the bad things Konstantina has written about us, some people actually think good of us? Wow. Very unexpected. I guess I'll have to wait and see if we win. 

Before the Dance

Hank's P.O.V.

It's almost time for the dance to start. I'm here early because I had nothing better to do. I decided to text Connor while I waited. 

H: Hey ConCon! 😍

C: Hi Hank! 

H: Are you on your way?

C: I'm almost ready. Go on in without me. I'll be there soon.

H: Okay. If you say so. Love ya! 😙

C: Love you too. 💘

I pocketed my phone and went inside the gym. It was decorated to look like a snowy forest. There were winter themed drinks and snacks too. "Hey Hank," Jeffery called out. All of my friends were close behind him with their dates. "Where's your boyfriend Hank?" Eddie asked as his girlfriend Maria pecked his cheek. "He's on his way," I replied. We talked for a bit and then the doors opened.  

Everyone turned their attention to the doors. Kara and Luther came in. Then Traci and Tracie. Markus came in with his boyfriend Simon. North and Josh were by their sides. I guess they're all together now. Everyone gasped in unison. I looked and saw Connor in a light blue dress and a matching crown. Now I know why he told me it was a surprise. Everyone went back to what they were doing as I walked over to him.

"Hi Hank! This is my older brother Conan," Connor said. His older brother had very intimidating blue eyes. "H-hey..." I said nervously. Conan laughed a little. He then said, "No need to be nervous. I already know you care for my little brother. Go ahead and have fun." He then walked off to do his chaperone duties. That was easier than I expected. I gave Connor a quick peck on the lips. A slow song started playing. "May I have this dance?" I asked with a smile. "Of course," he replied while taking my hand. 

We walked to the centre of the dance floor. I put my hands on his waist and he wrapped his around my neck. We then started swaying to the slow beat. I twirled Connor a few times and he smiled brightly. "Care to tell me about Markus, Simon, North and Josh?" I asked as we swayed slowly. "They talked earlier and it turns out they all had feelings for each other but didn't want to admit it. I kinda saw this coming," Connor replied. "Well you can re-construct events from past, present and future," I said as he rested his head on my chest. "You've got me there," he replied with a slight chuckle. 

The song ended and Kara took the microphone. "Hey everyone! Having a good night?" she said into the mic. Everyone cheered. "That's great!" Kara continued, "You know what time it is?" People started chanting, "Cutest couple! Cutest couple! Cutest couple!" "That's right! Before I tell you the winners here are the nominees," Kara said. "First, Eddie and Maria!" A spotlight was put on them. The crowd clapped. "Second, Traci and Tracie!" The spotlight moved to them and the crowd applauded again. "And lastly, Hank and Connor!" The spotlight was on us and everyone went wild, except Konstantina and Gavin. 

"Ready to hear the winners?" Kara asked. Everyone screamed and shouted excitedly. I looked Connor in his eyes. He was beaming. "On the count of three!" Kara said excitedly. "One..." "Hey Connor," I whispered. "Yes Hank?" he replied. "Two..." "Do you care if we win?" I asked. "Of course not. I just want to be with you," he replied. That warmed my heart. "Three!" Kara opened an envelope and screamed at the top of her lungs, "The winners of cutest couple are HANK AND CONNOR!" 

Everyone went wild. We won? What?!?! Connor looked just as shocked as I am. A pink spotlight was put on us. Someone managed to scream above the noise, "KISS!" Everyone soon joined in and chanted, "KISS! KISS! KISS!" I turned to face Connor. I took his hands and stared into his eyes. I twirled him around then dipped him. I brought him back up and closed the distance. Everyone went wild again. People were shouting things like, "Hankcon forever!" "Connor and Hank is otp!" "They better be prom kings!" 

We soon went back to partying the night away. The entire time people were coming up to us and saying congratulations. Eventually the dance started to quieter and quieter as people started leaving. Connor was resting his head against my chest as we danced to the final song of the night. Kara took the mic again and said, "Alright everyone who is still here, I hope you enjoyed tonight! Have a great rest of your evening!" 

I stopped dancing and lifted Connor's chin up. I smiled and asked, "Did you have a good time?" "When I'm with you I always have a good time," he replied sleepily. I chuckled and took his hand. We walked out of the gym and to the van he'll leave in. "Night ConCon," I said after I gave him one more peck on the cheek. "Night Hank," he replied. He then got in the van. As it left I waved. On my way home I couldn't help but think, "Tonight was the best night of my life."
