Blaine wakes up and realizes what day it is.
O my god.
It's really happening.
My dad is going to get married.
Today!
The last week was crazy. The New Directions knew about him and Kurt and they all reacted their own way. Rachel kept on talking about how Blaine can match her with Kurt, as Broadway twinzies. Sam did some impressions, talking about "Klaine" (... official Klaine day," he said as Obama, "It's a law.") Joe kept praying for their happiness and Blaine suspected Quinn did that too.
Mike apologized every. single. day. 'I'm so sorry,' he said. 'I know, Mike,' Blaine said, 'You told me twenty times, a day!' Puck kept asking inappropriate questions and Santana often helped him. Brittany gave him a card, Artie simply congratulated him and Sugar kept on bitching about the fact he didn't pick her. ("Now I want to be a gay male.").
Of course, Blaine told them about the situation, and they promised not to tell Devon and Celia when they see them at the wedding.
His dad's wedding.
His phone beeps.
1 NEW MESSAGE: KURT
"We're on our way. Greets from Coop."
——————————————————————————————
Marry You was flawless. They were all singing in couples. Blaine was with Lauren. His dad entered the church, wearing a black tux. He danced to the aisle. Brittany and Santana did one more round with their bows and Carole came in too, wearing a beautiful wedding dress.
Blaine looks around. The New Directions are standing next to him, together with Kurt.One day, we'll be standing here. He spots Devon, Celia and Cooper. Also the Warblers. Trent waves.
——————————————————————————————
Cooper is singing Sway and Carole and his dad are dancing. The reception looks amazing and other people join them on the dance floor. Blaine looks to Kurt, and then to his parents. His dad looks disapproving to Brittany and Santana while his mom whispers something in his ear. He nods.
Santana notices.Shit, Blaine thinks,Santana, not now! Please!'Something wrong, mr. Anderson?' Santana asks. She and Brittany stopped dancing.Fuuuuuuck. 'Nothing,' Blaine's dad lies 'Sure?' Santana sounds angry, 'Because you looked like you were going to kill us with those holy crazy cat eyes.' 'We were just wondering,' Blaine's mother says before his father can open his mouth, 'Why would you dance with your best friend on a song like this?' 'Because she's my girlfriend you bi- bonkers.'
Bonkers?Blaine doesn't remember Santana saying something lame like this.
'Hey,' Blaine looks up and sees Mercedes standing in front of him, 'I saw and heard everything. About Santana, I mean.' 'I just want to dance with him, 'Cedes,' Blaine says, eyeing Kurt who is talking to his Dalton friends. 'Then do it.' Blaine swallows. 'I can't,' he says, 'But yeah, I do want to dance.' 'Then dance with me,' Mercedes suggests, 'As a stand-in, so your bio-parents don't have to worry.'
~~~
Everyone is clapping when Cooper is done, but he ignores it. He walks to Kurt straight away. 'I can feel that something is bothering you, little bro,' he says. 'Just... I have nobody to dance with,' Kurt confesses, 'And that's kinda pathetic. Blaine has Mercedes, as you can see.'
'Hey, hey, don't be sad,' Cooper says, 'Smile, your dad is married! And the next one isn't a slow dance one, so you can dance with me.' Kurt smiles and the Warblers start singingLocked Out Of Heaven. Cooper reaches out for Kurt's hand. 'C'mon, Squirt!' Kurt smiles and follows his brother to the dance floor.
——————————————————————————————
'You guys were amazing!' Kurt says when the Warblers join him and Cooper. 'Thanks,' Trent says, 'When are you two?' 'In a few minutes,' Kurt answers, 'Oh! There he is!' Blaine and Mercedes join too. 'That was awesome,' Blaine compliments, 'By the way, this is Mercedes.' Mercedes waves. 'And, wait a sec- SAM!'
Sam almost runs into Wes. 'Sorry man, are you Trent?' 'No,' Wes answers, 'He is,' and he points to Trent. 'Trent man!' 'So you are Sam!' Trent says excited. 'No, I'm-' Sam makes a weird move, '- James Bond.' 'Is he drunk?' Kurt whispers to Blaine. 'Nah,' Blaine whispers back, 'He just does a lot of impressions.'
'Maybe we should go,' Blaine suggests, 'Sam, 'Cedes, you two stay here?' Mercedes thumbs up and mouths'I'll keep an eye on him,'signing to Sam, who is still making weird moves.
They're backstage, revising a little bit. They practiced a really cute dance -Blaine's words, not Kurt's. They can hear Puck shouting in the mic, obviously drunk. 'Time for the best part, ladies and gents-' 'Noah! Get off!' they hear Rachel shouting. '-Everyone, say Kurt and Blaine!!''KURT AND BLAINE!'they hear a lot of people saying. '... Puck,' Blaine sighs and he turns to Kurt, 'Ready?' Kurt nods. Blaine grins. 'One small kiss before we go,' Blaine says and he kisses him.
——————————————————————————————
Kurt opens his mouth.
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Blaine starts.
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
And together they go on.
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Kurt spins around.
Blaine follows.
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Blaine is the one who begins now.
Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad women, bad women, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Kurt smiles.
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
They dance together on the stage.
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
And Blaine is doing the bridge, because Kurt said he liked his voice more.
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
They lean forwards. Closer and closer.
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
Closer.
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no
The crowd is applauding and Kurt and Blaine are pulled out their trance.
——————————————————————————————
Kurt sits next to his dad and Carole, watching theJust The Way You Areperformance. Finn is singing to Rachel, Kurt can see it. They're all dancing together, the same couples as in Marry You. He can hear his not-dad saying 'And now he's dancing with that girl.' 'Sad she's not on the thin side,' he hears his not-mom, and Kurt feels angry. 'Well, better than the other one, I mean, at least she's not black.'
Kurt turns around in his seat, facing his not-parents. 'Can you guys just stop?' he hisses, 'You're ruining my dad's wedding with your offensive comments on my and Blaine's friends.' They both look taken aback.
Finn is in the middle of the song when Kurt sees Puck, tapping Lauren's shoulder and whispering something in her ear. She blushes and Blaine nods. Puck says something and walks away with a giggling Lauren to the other side of the dance floor, to continue dancing.
Kurt's eyes are following them, and he doesn't notice Blaine leaving the dance floor.They make a cute couple.
'Excuse me,' he hears, looks up and sees Blaine, hand extended, 'May I have this dance?' Blaine winks and Kurt blushes. 'Yes,' Kurt answers overwhelmed, 'Yes you may.'
——————————————————————————————
Kurt doesn't notice his dad and Carole, joining the New Directions. he doesn't notice Cooper, grinning like an idiot. He doesn't notice his not-parents, wondering what's going on. He doesn't notice all his friends staring at him. He doesn't notice the New Directions, smiling at them. He doesn't notice Finn, wrapping up. He only has eyes for Blaine. And Blaine only has eyes for him, Kurt sees it.
Blaine closes his eyes and slowly comes closer, like duringGrenade.Kurt closes his eyes too and he can feel Blaine's soft lips touch his.
