"Can you help me fix up my suit? It's just not fitting right! Urgh, I just can't believe it!"
"Stop moving, let me just get that button here. Alright, you're all good."
"Do you have the rings near you?"
"Yes, they're here. Stop stressing, you're making me nervous. "
Blaine and Jeff were putting the last touches to their suits together in the room, waiting for the ceremony to start. The wedding had taken a long time to plan and Kurt had made sure that everything was just perfect. He had planned the whole reception and as usual everything was matching and fit amazingly together.
Jeff and Blaine looked at each other, smiling nervously before bursting out in laughter because of the nervousness. They laughed for a good five minutes when Sebastian violently opened the door.
"Alright little ponies, let's make this quick and as painless as possible. Please? Because I'm not sure I can handle more of all things groom-related much longer!" Sebastian caught the nervous atmosphere and added; "Don't tell me he is freaking out?"
"He didn't say it in such terms but I'm pretty sure he is freaking out."
"Do you guys remember that I'm still in the room?" Blaine and Jeff quickly put themselves together and walked out of the room to the reception where the wedding would be celebrated.
Blaine quickly made his way to Kurt and sat next to him.
"It's beautiful, all you did and planned for this wedding is amazing." Blaine kissed Kurt lightly on the cheek and smiled at him.
"How is Jeff holding it?"
"He is going to be fine, he asked me to rap his vows just to make sure they made sense no matter how he was saying them." Kurt raised his eyebrows questioningly and chuckled as the image of Blaine rapping vows popped into his head.
"Nick was really nervous when I last checked on him. I think he was on the verge of passing out." Suddenly every conversation quietened down and people turned around to see a very happy Nick walking down the aisle in a very fitting cream suit, a broad smile on his face. When he reached his position he turned around and waited for his fiancé to come and join him. Jeff almost ran down the aisle, wearing a grey suit with a tie matching Nick's suit. He took Nick's hand in his and pecked him on the mouth.
"Young man I think it's a bit too early in the ceremony for that."
"Yeah, well I couldn't really resist, just look at him!" Jeff exclaimed making the whole assembly laugh.
The ceremony passed without any incident, Jeff didn't rap his vows but made sure to insert one or two private jokes and Nick blushed furiously at his almost-husband's words. Jeff didn't wait until the end of the question to say "I do" and answered the same question for Nick "Of course he does too, jump to the interesting part!" and surprisingly enough Jeff waited until the vicar said he could kiss his husband to kiss Nick.
After a long afternoon of drinking and relaxing, everyone gathered into the dining room of the hotel that had been decorated by Kurt specifically for the event. Unfortunately he didn't have any say about who would share his table and of course he was put with Blaine, Sebastian and Dave, Santana and her girlfriend Melissa. When Kurt knew he would be with both Sebastian and Santana at the same table he had reached out to find Blaine's hand. They had both looked at each other and Blaine had laughed at the look on Kurt's face.
They were half way through the reception and Santana and Sebastian had been bickering since the beginning.
"Are you seriously that stupid to think that you are a better singer than me?"
"Well last time I checked I was better than you and you know I'm like old wine." Sebastian answered with a smirk.
"You taste like vinegar? I'm sorry for Dave then, blowjobs should not be fun to give." Santana turned to her girlfriend to see if everything was alright with her, but she was in a deep conversation about books with Blaine. So she turned to Sebastian again. "Last time you cheated because you were too afraid of me kicking your ass. No, scratch that. Last time you threw a slushie at me because you were too afraid of your attraction to me."
That seemed to get Melissa's attention and the woman turned to her girlfriend.
"San? Stop fighting, please." The woman put her hand on the Latina's knee and smiled at her warmly. When Santana felt the light squeeze on her knees she pecked her girlfriend on the cheek and smiled back, visibly relaxing.
"I can see that you're not the one wearing the pants. Interesting. Are you that easy to tame?" Sebastian continued, not quite over the little banter.
"Bas…" Dave's warning tone caught the man and he turned to face his boyfriend. "Could you please just not get on her nerves tonight?" Dave asked gently, "If you do that, I'll let you do whatever you want with me." Dave finished in a whisper. Sebastian looked at his boyfriend with a questioning look on his face before smirking and attacking his boyfriend's lips with his.
"Deal!" Sebastian accepted and turned to Santana who was looking at him with a crooked eyebrow.
"Yeah, and I'm the one easily tamed. Look Horse Face, I know how to settle this."
Kurt eyed the two moving from the table to the end of the stage where the band was playing. He rolled his eyes at the two of them and went back to his discussion with Dave.
For the rest of the reception they all chatted and laughed together, only to be interrupted at some point by Sebastian and Santana singing a rather sexual song and making the sexual tension rise in the room. When they came back to their seat everyone was asked who sang better. Unfortunately they had to call it even and they both pouted for the rest of the evening.
When most of the people had left the reception the band had been asked to play a ballad so the remaining couples could dance. Sebastian and Dave, Santana and Melissa had disappeared at some point and Kurt was watching some couple slowly dancing together.
"May I have this dance?" The coiffed man turned around to see Blaine asking him to dance. Kurt took his hand and they both moved to the middle of the floor.
"Hi," Blaine said quietly to Kurt, "I didn't see a lot of you tonight."
"I had a great time catching up with Dave and you seemed really passionate about your discussion with Melissa, I didn't want to intrude." Kurt shrugged before lightly kissing Blaine.
Blaine stepped closer to Kurt and embraced him completely. He placed his head in the crook of Kurt's neck and stayed there while dancing. They moved slowly, following the instruments and the ballad, breathing each other in and relishing how amazing the evening had been.
Blaine looked to his right to catch a glimpse of Nick and Jeff, sitting together. Nick had his back against Jeff's chest and they were both admiring their rings, smiling unconsciously. They looked incredibly happy. Blaine was glad for his friends and had wished for a long time that they would marry each other. Blaine had always looked up to the couple when it came to love. He didn't know another couple that loved and cared for each other as much as Nick and Jeff did. He suddenly felt a pang of jealousy. He was glad for his friends but he wanted this, he wanted the happily ever after, the whole reception and papers to show to the world his love for his husband.
Kurt saw the emotions on his boyfriend's face and followed his gaze to see what was causing it. Kurt saw the couple, happily savoring their moment and he looked back at the hazel-eyed man he had in his arms, studying his face and all the feelings he could catch while Blaine was looking at his friends.
After the song they said their goodbyes and went back to their place. When they reached their room they quickly got off their clothes and found their way to bed. Kurt's head was resting against Blaine's chest, and he was caught in the man's arms. Blaine was silently stroking his ring finger, looking at Kurt with a loving smile.
"How is school doing?" Kurt wondered. It was the end of September and Blaine always had hard time with the beginning of a new school year and new students.
"I'm scared, like always. But I have my old students with me and I know how to work with them, I just hope I'll be able to handle the rest of the new students."
"You did it perfectly last year, I'm sure you'll be amazing this year too, babe." Kurt couldn't help but to feel sad for his boyfriend. He hoped he could take some of his insecurities away but unfortunately it didn't work that way. Blaine had been having a hard time adapting to his new students, his fear of not being enough and letting people down coming back each time they were back to school.
Blaine hadn't stopped stroking his ring finger and was looking at Kurt's hand pensively. The more Blaine did it the more Kurt could feel the lump in his throat.
It had been two years since he had lost his memory and they decided to date and get to know each other all over again. It hadn't been easy, they had needed to trust each other, to let go of the past and to stop blaming the other or themselves. There had been times when it was all too much for both of them and times when nothing could come between them. Kurt had bought a ring a year ago and hid it the best he could. He had waited for Blaine to get to know him, to really understand who he was now, but Kurt was still afraid that somehow Blaine was not really in love with him but was in love the reflection of a past Kurt he had in front of him. So Kurt had hidden the ring and waited to be sure that Blaine was in love with him for him and not for all the memories he was carrying with him. The more he waited the less he was sure he would be able to actually propose to the man.
"Do you remember that question about the children you asked me?" Blaine broke the silence and snapped Kurt out of his thinking, still stroking his finger.
"No, I don't, when was that?"
"When you didn't have all your memory back. Do you think about us, having children sometimes? Blaine wondered, lost deep in thoughts.
"I do," Kurt admitted, blushing a little. "All the time actually. Do you?" Kurt had heard the insecurity in his voice and hoped that Blaine didn't.
"I do too, all the time. I'm just not sure I'm a good enough person to be a father. I can barely take care of myself, how could I take care of my child? I'm not sure I'll be strong enough or brave enough to be a father. And my way of dealing with problems? Closing up and shutting people down? I'm not sure it's the best for a child to have a parent like that. I want a child, more than anything. I'm just not sure it would be the best for a child to have me as a parent though." Blaine fell into a heavy silence, looking from Kurt's hand to his eyes, gently stroking Kurt's finger.
Kurt was nuzzling into Blaine's chest and caressing his body. He loved the moments when it was just the both of them, pressing against each other. Those moments were full of love and caring. Those moments held memories and promises, during those moments Kurt could feel himself falling in love with Blaine over and over again.
"But before we think about kids, I want to marry you, Kurt. I promised to myself years ago that I wouldn't lose you ever again. I want to make that promise official to the world. I want to make it official that I didn't lose you and that we found each other again. I want for the world to see that I, Blaine Anderson, love you, Kurt Hummel, for everything you are. I want to marry you, Kurt."
Kurt felt his heart stop for a second and launched himself at his drawers, taking out the little box he'd been hiding for a year now.
"I think I can help with that demand." Kurt said, kissing Blaine deeply before opening the box.
