“Why are you staring at me?” Blaine mumbled tiredly, his eyes still closed as a small smile graced his handsome face.
The couple laughed quietly, Kurt leaning down to peck his fiancee’s lips. “I’m going to miss you tonight.”
“I know you are, but it’s all worth it because tomorrow we’re going to be married.”
Kurt nodded and reached his hand up, playing with Blaine’s hair. “We are.” He whispered, enjoying the beating of Blaine’s heart and how his eyes close when he runs his fingers through his hair, massaging his scalp. “I love you.”
Blaine’s eyes fluttered open, smiling at Kurt. “I love you too.” He responded, his fingers trailing down Kurt’s cheek, tracing his lips.
With a smirk Kurt kissed the tip of Blaine's finger, his tongue poking out playfully to lick it. “Are your vows finished?” He wondered, leaning forward to nip at Blaine's index finger.
Blaine chuckled darkly, watching as Kurt bit his finger, innocently taking it in his mouth. “They are.. How about yours?” He cleared his throat, trying to tug his finger away as Kurt giggled.
“All done.” Kurt told him simply, sighing as Blaine smiled warmly, petting his hair. “I can't wait for our cruise.”
“I can't wait till we're actually married... And then the cruise.” Blaine shared, his hand moving over the back of Kurt's neck and down his back. “Getting to have my wicked way with you.” He mumbled, hand reaching the destination of Kurt's ass, giving it a generous squeeze.
Kurt moaned quietly, biting his lip. “Blaine..”
“What?” Blaine asked innocently, giving Kurt his best puppy eyes. “This could be considered the last time we have sex as an engaged couple.”

At the rehearsal dinner Kurt and Blaine were mostly separated, being pulled away to different conversations with a multitude of family members. It was overwhelming.
Kurt sighed and took a sip of his wine, giving Blaine a pleading look, smiling as he gave a smirk, trying not to laugh during the conversation he was having.
All of the hectic situations they’ve been through during this wedding process always made Kurt wonder what it would be like if he never did it, if they just went to courthouse and called it a day. He would probably regret doing that if he was being honest. Kurt wanted his family there and wants to walk down an aisle with his father by his side. He wanted it all.
As Kurt looked up from his glass the smile on his face faded, spotting Sebastian at the front door, looking around warily. He sped walked to Blaine, taking his hand to make sure he faces him and doesn't see Sebastian. “Cooper seems a little out of place; you should go talk to him honey.” Kurt suggested, smiling softly.
“Cooper.. Out of place? Babe that’s not possible.” Blaine muttered, an amused grin on his face as he looked to his brother who was talking to Finn and Rachel, looking rather comfortable now that he thinks about it.
“I think he misses his little brother. You’re getting married tomorrow; you’re not really his little squirt anymore.”
Blaine’s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “He said that?” He wondered, now glancing back at his brother with a sad smile. Blaine sighed softly when he received a nod and kissed Kurt’s cheek. “I had better get a goodbye kiss before this party is over.”
“You will. Promise.” Kurt mumbled, kissing Blaine’s nose before heading to the exit and placing his hands on Sebastian’s shoulders and leading him outside.
--
Kurt stomped up to Sebastian. “What the hell are you doing here?” He asked harshly once they were outside, crossing his arms over his chest.
“Trying to get my friend back.” Sebastian stated solemnly, a slight pout on his face. “Kurt, it's been two months, he can't be this mad at me!”
A sigh escaped his lips as he looked at the puppy eyes Sebastian was giving him. “Your 'friend' doesn't want to see you... And if my fiancee doesn't want to see you then I have to oblige.” Kurt defended, his arms loosening around him, his eyes down casting to the ground.
Sebastian's mouth opened, but closed once again, his lips pursing sadly. “You have to understand how horrible I feel Kurt.. Please.” He pleaded quietly, his right hand gripping his forearm like a shy child. “After the Liam shit he's all I have left.”
“Is that my fault? Honestly?” Kurt yelled, frustrated. “It’s not my fault you and Liam can't get your fucking heads on straight, but that doesn't give you the right to almost destroy the one thing I've wanted all my life!”
“That wasn't my intention!” Sebastian insisted in alarm, hands lowering to his sides, balled up into fists. “I wasn't out to get you Kurt!”
A dark chuckle escaped Kurt's lips. “Oh, you were just going to show up to our home drunk, knowing you have feelings for him, on the night you and your boyfriend broke up.” He recapped, sarcastic venom dripping from his lips. “What the hell did you think was going to happen Sebastian? That you two would watch the fucking Notebook together?”
“First of all Liam broke my fucking heart, okay? And yeah, maybe I did feel something for Blaine at one point, but I was drunk! I didn't mean for it to happen that way!” Sebastian defended, sounding tired and helpless. “You have to believe me Kurt, I never wanted any of this to happen the way it did. I didn't come over to sabotage your dreams or steal away the love of your life.”
Kurt stared for a moment, reeling back and realizing how dumb this was. They were fighting about the past. Something that was over and shouldn't matter anymore because Kurt won. He was the one marrying Blaine tomorrow. In reality, Sebastian didn't ruin anything.
“I know.” Kurt finally admitted, taking a deep breath, his shoulders relaxing. “But you have to understand that Blaine is as stubborn as a mule.” He smiled fondly, sighing. “Once he has his mind set on something there is no turning back and I just.. I want nothing more than to see him happy.”
Sebastian smiled sadly, hands lifting weakly and slapping down on his thighs. “We've known each other since high school.. I just can't settle with the fact that our friendship is over, after all we've been through together.” He explained, biting his lip. “Its just hard.”
Kurt nodded in understanding. “I know, trust me, I know how much you mean to him.. As much as he doesn't want to admit it.”
“Do you Kurt? Do you really think so because it seems like he fucking hates me!” Sebastian yelled defensively, eyebrows pulling together in a harsh glare.
“He doesn't.”
Sebastian scoffed, shaking his head in annoyed disbelief. “Its one thing to sympathize with me, but to lie to my face..”
“Would you stop it with your self pity bullshit!” Kurt shouted, making Sebastian lean back like he had been slapped. “Blaine has every right to feel what he's feeling and you acting like a damned damaged puppy about it is not going to help one bit!” He continued, frowning. “If Blaine wants you back in his life, he will go about it his own way, but if Blaine doesn't, you have to respect that.” Kurt explained, huffing. “Either way its Blaine's decision.”
“I hope you know that without me tomorrow wouldn't be happening!”
Kurt rolled his eyes. “Which is why I told him I wanted you at the wedding.” He admitted, shaking his head. “Am I pissed about what happened? Yes. But that doesn't negate what you did for us Sebastian.”
Sebastian looked to Kurt in shock, his eyes wide. “You.. You told him that?”
“You were the one who sent him on the blind date. The one who smacked his head on straight.” Kurt explained, smiling softly at the events that led up to tomorrows event. “I want you to be there, I do, but at the end of the day, its not my decision.”
Sebastian looked down as he bit his lip, holding back tears. “It still means a lot that you think that way.. Thank you Kurt.” He said hoarsely, clearing his throat as he quickly swiped a finger under his eyes. “I um.. I never formally apologized to you for what I did.. And I am so sorry, I hope you know that.”
Kurt nodded softly, an understanding smile on his face. “I know.” He confirmed. “You're not a monster. You have a heart. A really big one at that.”
“Thank you.” Sebastian whispered meaningfully, wiping a stray tear. “I'm glad you two are getting married. There is no one better for Blaine.” He added, a smirk on his face. “No one.”
Kurt smiled warmly, hugging himself as he stood there. “Thank you.”
“No.. Thank you.” Sebastian countered, chuckling at what he was about to say. It was so sappy. “Its nice to see him happy after all he's been through and you're to thank for that.”
“Well what can I say? He was my dream.. and when I have a dream, I stop at nothing to achieve it.” Kurt gave a wink, a wide smile on his face. “You know, its not too late for you.”
Sebastian shook his head, looking down at the ground sadly. “Liam is gone, I screwed it up.” He mumbled, kicking at the ground. “I don't deserve a second chance with him.”
Kurt sighed. “He's not gone.. He's... Lost.”
“Well I hope whoever finds him can give him the world because he deserves it.”
“Sebastian..”
Sebastian stood, biting back a sob as he took a deep breath, biting his finger to hold back.
“Sebastian there is not a man in this world Liam loves more than you.” Kurt assured, because he knew that. “And regardless of what you may think I know that deep down you know that you two belong together.” He mentioned, knowing that Sebastian will never admit it to himself. “Whatever happened, happened and there is not a damn thing you can do about it except maybe grow some balls and tell him.” Kurt advised, watching as Sebastian finally gave up, letting the tears stream down his cheeks. “Tell him what you could never tell Blaine.”
Sebastian sighed in defeat, his head hanging. “I'm so in love with him.. I'm just scared that he won't take me back, that he will never love me like he did.” He admitted, the back of his hand wiping across his cheek. “It will never be the same between us.”
Kurt nodded sadly. “It probably won't. You'll have to start over, but if the relationship can't stand, the foundation was weak to begin with..” He told him, tilting his head to the side as he grinned. “And honestly, what you two have isn't weak.”
Sebastian stepped up and hugged Kurt tightly, sniffling. “Thank you so much.. For everything.”
“No problem, but please do me a favor and go home. Get some rest.” Kurt advised, rubbing Sebastian's back soothingly as he held him, knowing that he needed this.
“I um.. I don't know what Blaine will do beyond the wedding, but if its alright with him I would like if we could stay friends Kurt.” Sebastian offered, smiling softly as he pulled away from the hug, wiping his tears, feeling better. “I've always considered you a good friend”.
Kurt smiled, giving a gentle nod. “I'd like that.”
Sebastian sighed happily, giving Kurt a warm smile. “Go back in there and have some fun. And congratulations for tomorrow.. I'm so incredibly happy for you guys, I hope you know that.. The both of you.”
“I do know.. Have a good night Sebastian.” Kurt turned on his heel slowly and made his way back into the party, feeling as if a weight was lifted off his shoulders.
“You too Kurt..”

Blaine was finally left alone and glanced around the room like a lost puppy, wanting to spend a little more time with Kurt before the dinner ended. “Lauren.. Have you seen Kurt anywhere?”
“Last time I saw him he stepped outside. Go get em' tiger, you have like twenty minutes left before you're out of here.” Lauren warned with a wink, handing him a wine off the drink tray next to her.
Blaine thanked her and took a sip of the wine, placing it down on a table before heading the exit, almost running right into Kurt. “Babe! There you are!” He yelled happily, noticing the hitch in Kurt's breath as he glanced up at him, almost as if he panicked.
“Here I am.” Kurt mumbled uncomfortably, faking a smile. He was in a heated debate with himself. To tell, or not to tell. What would not telling Blaine do for him? Nothing. Knowing his luck, Blaine would eventually find out about Sebastian showing up and would be upset for Kurt not sharing that detail. Although Kurt still felt that Blaine would be upset about Sebastian being here and Kurt not getting him to handle it. For all he knew either choice could be wrong. But the thought of them getting married tomorrow and honesty being the best policy, especially in a marriage, won the overall choice.
“Sebastian showed up.”
Kurt watched as Blaine's eyebrows pulled in, a frown settling. “When?” Blaine asked, his voice quiet and hard.
“He just left.. I um.. When I told you to talk to Cooper I was distracting you so I could bring Sebastian outside and talk to him.” Kurt explained, seeing Blaine's eyes set into a concentrated glare. “It was heated, but its fine. Everything is fine.” He soothed, noticing how stiff Blaine was, hoping to calm him down a bit.
Blaine sighed heavily, shaking his head. “Okay. I'm just.. Thank you for handling it.” He said quietly, his shoulders relaxing a bit. “He won't lay it to rest, will he?” Blaine asked rhetorically, a chuckle escaping his lips.
Kurt bit his lip. “You should consider talking to him, Blaine.” He received a snort of almost disgust, Blaine instantly shaking his head adamantly.
“No. Kurt we've discussed this.. I really don't want to fight the night before our wedding, especially over him, please.” Blaine insisted, making Kurt purse his lips.
“I don't either, but..” Kurt trailed off quietly, taking a deep breath, taking Blaine's hand in his to lead him back into the dining room. “I just don't want you to regret not having your best friend at one of the most important events of your life.”
Comments
Kurt and Blaine are getting married and my biggest thought right now is I hope Sebastian is there! I think I just want him there because I know Blaine does and Kurt is just being so wonderful about the situation. I hope Kurt at least gets Blaine to talk to him. I can't wait for the wedding!
thanks for the update :)
I am completely hooked on this story. I loved the first story and this sequel is just as good if not better. I love how you write the characters and how you make the story like real life instead of just having it be all fluff. I can't wait to see how the story progresses and to see how they rely on their love to get through. Looking forward to chapter 8.
This review means the absolute world to me! Thank you so much! I'm very excited for all of you to see what's in store! :)
