This is gospel for the fallen ones
Locked away in permanent slumber
Assembling their philosophies
From pieces of broken memories…

And truth be told, I never was yours
The fear, the fear of falling apart

This is Gospel by Panic! at the Disco

They really did try to do the opposite to all the cute couples that Mark and Sebastian had mocked, but in their attempts to be an ordinary couple with realistic expectations, Mark and David convinced no one. At a weekly dinner with Kurt and Blaine, they deliberately avoided touching, but it seemed that whatever they did, they were merely inches apart. David would help set the table, whilst Mark helped Kurt with the food, only to find that he would bump into David as he put a dish down. Or as David reached to get glasses from a higher cupboard, he would accidentally knock Marks shoulder. David blushed and Mark would apologise, but Blaine and Kurt knew. And their insufferable smirks were too much for Mark.

"Oh, will you just stop," he said, stopping in the middle of the kitchen, causing everyone to pause and look. "I know what youre doing and I can see why it would drive Sebastian away."

At the mention of his ex-roommate, Kurts face fell. Hed been mocking David and Mark for a while gently laughing and knowingly glancing at Blaine. But the thought of Sebastian with no one made him stop.

"Thats not fair," Blaine said, coming closer to Kurt in an attempt to save him from further pain. "Sebastian left of his own free will. He felt he needed to, it is not our fault."

Mark looked a little contrite and finally sat at the table, joined by David. Kurt assembled dinner on the table in silence, and by Blaines help, they finally sat down to eat.

"Do you think hes okay?" Kurt asked. No one had started to eat, so Kurt broke the silence. Mark looked kindly at Kurt, realising his earlier mistake.

"I dont really think you drove him away," Mark said. "I just think hed had enough of soulmates. He needed to be on his own."

"Have you heard from him?" Kurt asked and David seemed to be suddenly aware of how Mark would find the conversation awkward around him. He touched his knee and Mark clung onto his hand in gratitude, offering a smile.

"No, I dont think hed want me to contact him. He needs his space, I get that."

Kurt nodded.

"He knows how to contact us, Kurt," Blaine said, touching Kurts arm gently. "When hes ready hell come back."

"I hope so."

In the end it took a wedding invitation to prompt his return. He hated to admit it, but Sebastian had always known that Kurt was a great friend and he missed him terribly. But getting on with his degree, making new friends that hadnt met their soulmate yet either, had been the best thing for Sebastian. He was the life and soul of a party and yet his wit and charm ensured he made genuine friends. He enjoyed mocking other soulmates with kindness and mirth, encouraging laughs from his friends and they greatly admired his optimism. But they knew that despite his positive attitude, deep down Sebastian was lonely and really just waiting for the one, just like everyone else.

Kurt and Blaine would still see Sebastian on occasion, but the closeness was lost and although it hurt Kurt to know hed lost a good friend, he knew and respected the reasons for his distance. As graduation approached, Blaine had always known that a wedding would be the natural conclusion for the best four years of his life.

The proposal had been simple and sweet but exactly what Kurt had wanted. Theyd often joked about those couples that needed the show and the performance of a proposal and really their love was better than that. Kurt wanted class and love and romance, not a cabaret. So Blaine started planning as they started their junior year of college.

Theyd found a place, somewhere only they knew, and although it wasnt as quiet as their place in Ohio, they still managed to lie back and watch the stars, just like old times. After busy times, and assignments coming out of their ears, Kurt needed his time to unwind and one day he returned from class to find a simple note on their kitchen table.

Why dont we go somewhere only we know?

Kurt smiled, knowing exactly why Blaine had written the note today. It was the two year anniversary of their collision, their bodies finally realising what they should have known since they were little. He rushed to their secluded spot, only to find it completely quiet and devoid of other people.

He lay down on a blanket hed brought and looked at the clear sky and the many stars. He smiled upwards, thinking that he hadnt felt so at peace for a while, with all the buzzing to and fro of college and work. The silence was broken softly by someone singing, though it still seemed so far away.

Its just another night
And Im staring at the moon
I saw a shooting star
And thought of you
I sang a lullaby
By the waterside and knew
If you were here,
Id sing to you

So open your eyes and see
The way our horizons meet
And all of the lights will lead
Into the night with me
And I know these scars will bleed
But both of our hearts believe
All of these stars will guide us home

Kurt sat up and watched as Blaine had approached but it was only as he came closer that he stood to meet him, the biggest smile graced his face.

I can hear your heart
On the radio beat
Theyre playing Chasing Cars
And I thought of us

Kurt laughed as Blaine sang, clutching his hand to his chest. It was just like Blaine had written the song for them.

Back to the time,
You were lying next to me
I looked across and fell in love
So I took your hand
Back through lamp lit streets I knew
Everything led back to you

So can you see the stars?
Over Amsterdam
Youre the song my heart is
Beating to

Kurt let him finish and clapped, leaning in for a kiss and thanking him for the best anniversary gift. But Blaine hadnt finished.

"What are you doing?"

"Im getting down on one knee," Blaine said, smiling upwards from his position on the grass as he watched Kurt realise what was happening.

"Weve been here so many times, and to our place in Ohio, but you may not know that I knew before. I knew as I watched the stars above me when I was on my own or with you in special places. Its never really felt like Ive been getting to know you, its always felt like I was remembering you from something. As if in every lifetime that you and I have ever lived, weve chosen to come back and find each other and fall in love all over again. Over and over. For all eternity. And I just feel so lucky that I found you so soon in this lifetime, because all I want to do, all Ive ever wanted to do, is spend my life loving you." Kurt looked overwhelmed, his eyes filling as he stared down at his soulmate.

"So, Kurt Hummel, my amazing friend, my one true love, will you marry me?" All Kurt could do in that moment was nod.

"Yes," he whispered and then swallowed to get better control of his voice. "Yes."

Blaine looked ecstatic and leapt up to pull Kurt towards himself in a tight embrace, with a kiss to end all kisses.

It had always been inevitable, but Kurt felt the need to qualify his simple agreement.

"I choose to marry you, Blaine," he whispered as Blaines lips left his. "I love you so much."

"I love you too."

Kurt called out to Sebastian as soon as he saw the back of his best friend on his wedding day. Sebastian turned and smiled, confidently nodding his head in acknowledgment of the greeting.

"You look amazing," Sebastian said as he came closer, "You really do brush up good, Kurt."

"So do you," Kurt said, looking him up and down. "You wore what I sent you." He had been apprehensive about it, not sure if Sebastian would be willing to be directed, but Bas had worn the given outfit and he looked pretty dapper.

"Yeah, everyone follows the fashion advice of one Kurt Hummel," he said, smiling to let Kurt know that all was as it should be.

"Its great to see you."

"Well I wouldnt miss the wedding of the century," Sebastian said. "My best friend would kill me."

Kurts face fell though he tried to school it otherwise. "Oh? Someone from college?"

"Oh the best, but I knew him from high school actually. And he really can shake his tush on the dance floor."

There was a beat of silence and then Sebastian saw the realisation dawn on Kurts face. Kurt laughed.

"We have all of that to look forward to tonight," Kurt said, grabbing his arm, causing Sebastians eyes to widen. "But first we need to get in our place."

Kurt was surprisingly strong and able to pull Sebastian all the way to a little alcove before he could be stopped.

"Our place, what are you talking about?"

"Youre my best man silly," Kurt said smiling wide. "I couldnt risk you wearing any old thing as you walk down the aisle with me."

Sebastian dropped his jaw slightly, causing Kurt to giggle.

"You think Id leave you out of the wedding party?"

Sebastian shook his head slowly.

"Good," Kurt said nodding, "Because Blaine will be walking towards me with Mark and I need to look as confident as you at all times."

Sebastian recovered, his heart beating fast in pleasure. He hadnt been forgotten; he was just as treasured as ever.

Gabriel Clarke had seen enough weddings but this one had to be his first where love was just everywhere. It wasnt even that obvious or tacky, just there and he stood back after his job was done and wondered how it had been achieved. The flowers were tastefully done, mainly white lilies, the baby cupcakes were cute but surrounded the more traditional round cake for the two guys to cut. The music was happy and clearly the band knew all the personal family favourites because all the uncles and Burt were on the dance floor showing off their best moves. Even people that werent dancing and having obvious fun, were set to the side and having animated happy conversations full of laughter and nostalgia. Gabriel crossed his arms and just surveyed the room.

"I know, its everywhere isnt it?" said a voice, suddenly by Gabriels side, sardonic and almost gleeful.

"What is?" Gabriel said, turning to face the taller guy who had spoken. He wasnt expecting the guy to have such mirth on his face or such striking eyes.

"Love," Sebastian said, pulling a face, but in such a jokey manner that Gabriel knew he didnt mean it.

"You know them well?" Gabriel asked, "Youre one of the best men, right?"

Sebastian nodded. "Remember taking my photo?"

"Yes," Gabriel laughed, "Amongst the many others tonight, you were one that stood out."

"Im nearly a foot taller than Kurt and Blaine," Sebastian said, "I would."

Gabriel joined in the laughter, feeling instantly lighter and suddenly aware that his job for the day, as wedding photographer, was coming to an end.

"Need a drink?"

"Yeah, that would be great. Ill have…"

Gabriel was cut off as he turned to fully face Sebastian only to find that Sebastian had decided to face him too. Gabriels hand brushed along Sebastians arm, just gently, barely there, but it was enough. It started.

Sebastians eyes went wide at the sudden sensation.

"Youre Gabriel?" he whispered in shock as Gabriel realised the same and mouthed the name of his soulmate too. They came closer, hearts beating quicker and they embraced.

It was only as he looked over Gabriels shoulder that he could see Blaine and Kurt still dancing on the dance floor. Kurt smiled over Blaines shoulder, his eyes twinkling and Sebastian knew. That cheeky bastard had known all along! But boy was he was grateful.

And he decided then and there that he would name his first born son, Kurt.
