Chapter 1:

"No one is going to see my wedding suit before me!"

Those were the first words Blaine ever heard Kurt say as the beautiful boy rushed past him in his eagerness to get to his outfit first.

Blaine was broken from his reverie when he realised that Mr Hummel was talking to him, something about how despite disciplining kids all his life his own son wouldn't listen to him. Blaine merely smiled and nodded still in awe from beholding the sight that was Kurt Hummel.

Suddenly Kurt came rushing past once again except this time Burt stopped him.

"Guess who this is, Kurt?"

Kurt stared blankly at his father.

"This is Blaine, my favourite student. Remember, I used to tell you about him."

Suddenly the light bulb went on, "Oh my God! You're Blaine! You have no ideas how many problems you caused me in life."

Blaine was really confused what on Earth was Kurt talking about. He didn't really know how to respond to that so he just sort of whispered "Because of me?"

"Yes, throughout school and college all I used to get told was why don't you get marks like Blaine? Why don't you respect your elders like Blaine? Blaine did this, Blaine did that and more than anything my dad wanted us to get married!" Kurt was actually on the verge of laughing as he got the last part out.

Blaine was overwhelmed by all this and the thought of marrying Kurt, somehow he managed to stammer out a "No, no."

Kurt was not deterred though, he just continued. "What no, no, I'm telling you that's what he seriously thought. He once told me that only a very fortunate guy would end up with someone like you Blaine. You know, I think he loved you even more than he loved me."

Burt chose that moment to interrupt his son, "You just can't stop talking for 2 seconds, Kurt. Take a break and be quiet for a little bit."

Then Kurt heard someone calling his name and ran off with a short "It was nice meeting you bye!"

Blaine barely even got out "It was nice to meet you too" Before Kurt had bolted off.

Blaine just stared at Kurt, watching him laugh with his friends and how carefree he was, off in his own happy world. He'd never felt like this before, it was like he was seeing a boy for the first time. He felt both happy and sad at the same time as he continued looking at Kurt. Then he saw some family come over and frantically pull Kurt over to the side. He could see him gesturing as he tried to explain something although Blaine couldn't make out the words. He watched as the smile fell from Kurt's face as he tried to absorb this information. He ran out of the room tears streaming down his face and crying.

Blaine turned around to find the nearest person to ask what had happened. Apparently the car that the groom and his family were in had met with an accident on the way over and hadn't survived. Blaine had barely absorbed this news when suddenly there was a second commotion as Burt Hummel collapsed.

Blaine somehow found himself in the waiting room of the hospital with the rest of the family members from the wedding as they all anxiously awaited news on Burt. A doctor came out and told them that he had had a severe heart attack and was asking to see Blaine.

Blaine was still in shock as he made his way into the room to speak to Burt.

"Listen Blaine, I have brought Kurt up with a lot of love but he's still so young and fragile. I'm worried he is going to break given the circumstances. If you think it's right I would like you to please marry Kurt. I can die in peace if I know that he will be safe with you. I don't have a lot of time left. If you agree, I'll speak with Kurt."

Blaine didn't know what to say to that, he couldn't deal with all this, with losing Burt who had been almost like a father to him. Then, he thought of Kurt and how excited he had looked when he saw his suit and his face when he heard the news. He couldn't imagine what he was going through and now he also had to deal with marrying Blaine.

Kurt walked into his father's room, not sure what he was expecting but he didn't know how much more he could take today.

"Kurt I know this isn't really the right time to talk to you about this but… my time is running out. I have never forced you to do anything nor will I do so now but before leaving I just want to give you one last piece of advice: In life, we make some relationships and some are merely fate. It might be possible that fate has chosen Blaine for you but it is up to you to make the final decision. All I want is to make sure that I don't leave you here alone."

Kurt stared at his father and the tear that threatened to spill out of his eyes and he knew he could never let his father think he was alone. He needed his father to go knowing that his son had a chance to be happy – even if he himself didn't think it was possible. So he really didn't have anything to say but to reassure his father that he would do whatever he wanted, even if it meant marrying Blaine.
