A/N: A friend of mine asked me to write for this idea she had in mind and considering that I sail the ships, I agreed.
Before you get started, though, I wanted to give you some fair warnings. Not everything the characters think or say is something I agree with. It's four main characters and I try to keep them as IC as I can. About Klaine, I don't really ship it, but I'm not an hater when it comes to writing, so I won't bash on them. It's just evolution in my opinion.
I hope there's something interesting in this story for you to read - xoxo

"No, I won't do this."
"C'mon, Sebastian, it's just for one day," Blaine gives him the best puppy eyes in the world, even though he isn't sure Sebastian is the kind of guy that gives into sweetness.
"No way." He replies fast, indeed, leaning his back against the wall of the Warblers' choir room, trying to keep his voice down apparently, "You know I'm okay with helping you and everything, and I'm still on for that. I won't take my word back, but this is crazy. Plus, it's not only about the fact that I don't like your boyfriend at all. Think about it, would Kurt accept spending a night out with me? I don't think so."
Blaine's face is still wrinkled in a sad expression, which is maybe too overdramatic to be 100% believable, but this is Blaine and he likes putting on a show when he wants something to happen. If he didn't like putting a show, he wouldn't even plan this huge proposal number for Kurt. It's not too much though, he thinks that this is just classy and romantic, and he needs something big to make sure Kurt will come back to him for longer, since it all seems so stumbling that it won't last if he doesn't do something about it.
"I'm sure he'll do if we make it believable," Blaine says, sounding and looking like he's begging Sebastian, and well, maybe he is, "I just need to plan on the flowers and the choreography and we're done. I can't do that if Kurt is around."
"Well, you could make up an excuse for that, just pretend you're busy tonight," Sebastian rolls his eyes, "I was serious, Blaine, Kurt wouldn't spend the night with me even if I actually wanted to help you with that."
Blaine pouts a little then, and he looks away for a moment. He knows Sebastian is right, and he also know he's got some guilt in this whole thing. It's obvious that Kurt doesn't like Sebastian because they had somehow gone behind his back; but he is trying to find a way to make it work anyway because this is all heading to the most important day of his life and he doesn't want to screw it up.
"You could pretend that you're upset," He says, looking up at Sebastian while Sebastian frowns at the words.
"What do you mean?" He asks, lifting an eyebrow.
"If something's bothering you and you look sad, Kurt is going to take pity on you." He explains, his face starting to light up like he's realizing that this might actually work. "I mean, Kurt would never ignore someone who's feeling bad, hurt and weak. No matter of how much of an asshole he is!"
"Oh, thanks, Blaine!" Sebastian growls, "That's so friendly of you to call me an asshole."
"I mean it in a fond way of course-" Blaine tries to say.
"And I wouldn't let Kurt take pity on me." Sebastian interrupts, crossing his arms to his chest like he feels uncomfortable at the idea of it. "You know, maybe you didn't realize back then, because you were kinda blinded by my ridiculous attractiveness, but Kurt and I have sort of a challenge between us and I won't show my fake weaknesses so that he can mock them."
"Do you guys have a challenge on?" Blaine asks, startling all of a sudden and widening his eyes in disbelief. Of course he's always noticed they didn't like each other, but this is totally new and weird to him.
"Yeah, well, it's not like we hear from each other," Sebastian makes it clear immediately, like it could damage his reputation, "but whenever we meet, Kurt and I just make sure we tease each other enough to be offensive."
"I don't get it," Blaine blinks slowly, as if he's trying to focus on the words to understand them, "you offended my boyfriend?"
"And he offended me." Sebastian suggests, tightening his eyelids.
"Well, that's not really important, if compared." Blaine adds innocently and when Sebastian's jaw drops in offense and disbelief, he adds, "not that I don't care, but woah, you offended my future husband, that's a bigger deal!"
The rest of the Warblers are quite close, but they're too busy chatting with Sam, who is trying to explain what the Beatles actually have to do with the entire proposal thing; which is better though, according to Blaine, because he is not sure the Warblers know about this Kurt and Sebastian thing either.
"But it was only fair," Sebastian tries to defend himself, "I was just-"
"Sebastian, I'm pretty sure you're the one who started it." Blaine shakes his head and sighs. "No wonder Kurt won't spend the night with you-"
"Sound like your future husband and I are supposed to fuck-"
"Shut up." Blaine widens his eyes in shock. "Don't ever say that again, ew, it was really gross. All that matters is that Kurt won't go out with you because I'm sure you insulted him when you figured out you couldn't get in my pants because we were dating and now my entire proposal is screwed because of that!"
There's a slight moment when Blaine gazes up and Sebastian actually looks sorry. But it's just a mere second before he washes it off of his features and goes back to his bitchy expression.
"Don't blame it on me, it's his fault, he called me meerkat face," He shakes his head like he can't believe it, "Like … referring to my beautiful face!"
"Well, you do look like a meerkat now that I think about it." Blaine observes, tightening his eyes as he is staring at Sebastian's face.
"Look, let's come back to reality." Sebastian snaps, now looking more serious, as if he's realized that they've lost focus on the conversation. "Face it, Blaine. Kurt won't go out with me even if I wanted to make you a favor. Plus, even if I'm a good actor, I don't know if I can look believably sad or angry at something when there's a chance that Kurt might take advantage of it to make fun of me."
Blaine gives him a sweet face though and he can see it on his face that Sebastian doesn't know where it comes from.
"It's so clearly evident that you don't him, Sebastian," He says, pressing his lips together adorably at the thought of sharing lovely comments about his future husband, "Kurt is so, so naturally into helping people and taking care of them. No matter how much he hates you, if he saw you week and exposed, maybe a little afraid even, he would sit beside you and hugged you until he wiped all of yours tears away. That's just how he is."
Blaine knows he is looking at Sebastian like he doesn't know what he is missing from life, but he can't help it. In fact, if he wants to marry Kurt at their age, there clearly must be something special enough about him to convince him to do so.
"All we have to do is find a way to block you and Kurt in the same place, and then I'll find an excuse and just leave." He adds when Sebastian looks a little unsure about the idea of Kurt trying to comfort him when he's hurt. "You'll start acting sad before I leave, so Kurt will know something's wrong and he won't ditch you."
"You know you're manipulative, right?" Sebastian asks, softly, still unsure, "And they say I'm the asshole."
"I'm … I'm not manipulative," Blaine complains unsurely, "This is for Kurt and I, and I would do anything for us-"
"Like sleeping with some Facebook unknown guy when you could have called me." Sebastian shakes his head in disappointment, "See? This is just another reason why I shouldn't help you."
"Can you not bring it back to me, please?" Blaine sighs painfully, "I'm still not over the fact that actually did that."
"Not calling me?" Sebastian lifts his eyebrows.
"Cheating," Blaine winces at the word and he looks away, "God, I'm still so shocked at myself for that. I don't know what was going on my mind." He whines unpleasantly and then looks up at Sebastian again. "This is why I need you. I know I was wrong with Kurt, I know what I did was horrible, and all I want is to surprise him enough to make him forget about that."
Eventually, Sebastian rolls his eyes and exhales deeply.
"Okay, look. I'm not really down with the reasons why you want to do this, but I guess sometimes being friends also means being supportive of each other even if you don't agree." He says, looking serious, "And if you and the blond doubtfully-straight guy there didn't call out Hunter on his steroids issue, I wouldn't be captain now, so I guess I owe you one."
Blaine's face lights up all of a sudden and he seems so genuinely happy that Sebastian would want to hug him again. But two hugs in one day would break all the rules of the Smythe code.
"Yes!" Blaine almost yells and he's already jumping forward for the hug himself, but Sebastian trails aside comically. "Thank you so much, Sebastian, I swear if it weren't for you and Sam, I would be lost. You're the best friends ever."
"Gay friends are always the best," Sebastian smirks playfully.
"Sam is not gay," Blaine winces and he wouldn't want to show a sad grimace at the comment, but it's almost spontaneous. It's not like he regrets anything he's planned for Kurt, but at the same time, he hasn't forgotten about his crush on Sam. It's too recent to be forgotten and plus, he sang a love song to him, so he's pretty sure he has some feeling for his best friend and future best man hidden somewhere.
"Of course not," Sebastian jokes evidently and Blaine shrugs a little uncomfortably.
There's something he doesn't like about this conversation, though he has no idea what it is. Somehow, he remembers that Kurt did assumptions about Sam a few times too, especially when it came to his dyed hair, but it never bothered Blaine as much as it does now.
"He isn't," He repeats more firmly then, frowning and looking at Sebastian like he wants to scold him for something, though he has no idea why that is.
"Okay, if you say so." Sebastian shrugs, but it's a lot lighter and less innocent that the way Blaine just did. "So you don't mind if I hit on your best man, right? Is he single? Not that I would care, and you know it quite well."
Oh, that's it. That's what's going through Blaine's mind.
The features of his face become suddenly softer and he looks down uncomfortably at the realization. Another guy hitting on Sam really makes him jealous. And it's not like he wasn't jealous every time he saw Sam and Brittany kissing but this is completely different. What if it's all about attractiveness? Maybe Sebastian is hot enough to make Kurt's gay observation about Sam turn into reality and Blaine just wasn't. He wonders why he cares about this when he's planning on proposing to Kurt. He isn't changing his mind on that and about Kurt either, but at the same time, he shouldn't even think about this, right?
"I see, Blaine." Sebastian cuts his thought with a knowing tone of voice, making him even more uncomfortable. "This wedding is going to be so much fun." He adds lowly and somehow Blaine is worried that he might add something that has to do with Sam and his too evident crush.
Sebastian doesn't though, he just smirks, proud of the trap Blaine has fallen into, and then adds, "Let me know about my date with Kurt."
"It's not-" Blaine answers immediately, but Sebastian is already walking away before he can correct him, "It's not a date …" He murmurs to himself, while Sam's impressions in the back of the room make some of the Warblers laugh loudly.
/
When Blaine gets off at the Hummel's house, a few hours later, he isn't feeling any better; in fact, he's actually more nervous. Somehow, he knows that this Sam thing is just temporary. It's not like it's going to last forever, especially while he's aware that Sam likes girls; but there's also a part of him that would want it to be over already. He's going to propose to Kurt soon and he would feel a lot lighter if he didn't have this crush on Sam still (No feelings, he thinks to himself, I sang a love song to him just because I thought I was in love, and I felt lonely because Kurt wasn't there and I was starting to lose my hope about getting back together).
He taps his fingers around the steering wheel and sighs to himself.
He's driven to Lima to see Kurt but he hasn't thought about the way he is going to put things between them in order to ask Kurt to go out with him and Sebastian. He knows for sure that Kurt hated that Blaine talked to him behind his back, so bringing Sebastian up now might be risky for their already stumbling relationship. He had to wait for so long to have Kurt back to be his boyfriend and he doesn't want to lose it because of Sebastian; but at the same time, he also knows that he needs this.
Blaine could ask to someone from New Directions to keep Kurt occupied but the truth is that with their reaction to his idea of proposing and the responses they gave with Finn and Rachel last year, Blaine doesn't trust them enough to know for sure they won't tell Kurt about his surprise proposal just to put some sense in him.
He feels weak and exposed right now, because he knows that Kurt didn't even sound too sure about the idea of being together again, so every single thing that might go wrong could make him change his mind; and Blaine can't really ask him to marry him if they're not even together, right?
Maybe there's a way to make things work.
Maybe the fact itself that they're back together could make sense with the Sebastian thing.
Maybe Blaine has got a good idea, all of a sudden.
With this thought in mind and the awareness that he's going to walk in the Hudmels' place to get some serious conversation on – that possible doesn't take place in the courtyard of his school, for once – he gets out of his black S Hybrid Fusion (because an almost married man needs a new car and this is the positive thing about his dad buying whatever Blaine asks for; the bad one being the he grew up so spoiled that he can't take no as an answer even when it comes to feelings and relationships – sex even sometimes).
He walks along the little path to the door and maybe his legs are shaking just a little. It's normal, he thinks, to be nervous when you know that you're walking to meet the boy you'll marry. Getting married will resolve most of these confused things inside him too. When he'll be married to Kurt, he will barely remember other boys – Sam included – ever existed. This is what makes him feel a little calmer when he gets to the door and knocks gently.
It's Carole who opens the door for him and it doesn't surprise him. Finn is in college and even though it's in Lima, he usually doesn't come back home, especially during the week, and Burt must surely be at the shop.
"Hi Carole," Blaine says with a bright smile on his face.
Carole's face immediately shifts to happiness too and she moves a little from the door so that Blaine can walk in.
"Come in, Blaine!" She says almost enthusiastic and it makes Blaine smile even more if possible. "How are you doing? I haven't seen you in a while!" She shrieks and as soon as Blaine walks in, she closes the door and tosses him into a tight welcoming hug.
He gives up into the hold and a moment and she lets his future half-step-mother cuddle him for a few seconds.
"I'm doing fine." He says, because he's not really going to talk about his nervousness with Carole, since he isn't planning on talking about it with Kurt either. "How are you doing?" He trails a little back from the hug, so that he can look at her. "I hate it that I don't usually come around when Kurt's in New York, but I really don't want to bother."
"Oh, you never bother, honey!" Carole squeaks, like she's scolding Blaine for even thinking about that. "You can come around whenever you want to! Don't worry about Kurt not being here, we can make comments about sexy guys on TV!"
Blaine laughs at that, but he shakes his head. Once he's going to get married to Kurt, not even hot TV boys and celebs will exist anymore, he's sure about that.
"I'll do better next time," He smiles and then nods towards the stairs, "Is Kurt upstairs?"
"Yes, he is." Carole says and she pulls away completely. "I'm sure he'll be happy to hear you came around. He spent all day having dreamy eyes and when he told me you sang a song together in the courtyard, I totally understood why." She winks and Blaine tilts his head happily at knowing that Kurt had looked glad in other people's eyes.
That means that it's not just in his head, that his happiness is real, so maybe they're going to be okay without uncertainties quite soon.
"Well, he planned it, so I'm the one who should be happy." Blaine says, pressing his lips together. "And I am, actually, I'm really happy and honored that he let me sing with him in front of everybody at school."
Carole grins at him like she wants to share some of his happiness and then moves her arm to gesture him towards the stairs. "Go ahead." She says and she pats his shoulder once more before she's heading into the kitchen.
Blaine stops in the hallway for a moment and he looks up at the stairs.
He is walking to the man he is going to marry, he is going to see him now and maybe somehow lie to him for the sake of his proposal – which justifies it all. He is going to tell him what he's just panned to say while he was in the car and he's going to hope that everything will be fine because he needs a night to arrange the details with Sam.
He takes the first step along the stairs, wondering how it's going to feel like when he'll come back home from work, his husband eventually waiting upstairs for him. Well, if they're going to live in New York, it's probably going to be an apartment, so there won't be any upstairs. He doesn't manage to give himself an answer about how it will be, but that's quite normal because there is no way he can realize it rationally. What scares him a little – while he's taking another step and one more – is that he's never wondered about it before. He's always been so sure about wanting to marry Kurt that he's never stopped to just wonder about these things.
Well, it's too late now.
He's got all planned and he wants it to happen, so he's going to find out when it'll become real.
He moves smoothly and silently, like he's on a mission. Maybe this is not the way he is supposed to feel about Kurt, but he firmly believes that part of this tension is due to the fact that the situation between them is still a little unsure, like Kurt doesn't really trust him enough to be completely sure that Blaine won't cheat on him again.
That is probably the reason why he doesn't feel completely at ease. It's just an anxiety that it's going to disappear when they manage to find their lovely balance again.
He reaches for Kurt's room and the door is open, so he walks in silently.
Kurt's lying on his bed, sleeping lazily. He's got his home clothes on, but not his pajamas, so Blaine guesses he felt asleep accidentally or he's maybe taking a nap. From where he is standing beside the door, Blaine can't see Kurt's face, but his body arched in a fetal position is enough to make his heart melt. Kurt always looks so cute when he sleeps.
If this talk wasn't so urgent, Blaine would surely let him sleep; but somehow, he feels like he needs to do this as soon as possible because if he can't convince Kurt, then he'll need a backup plan to distract him; and to plan another way out of this, he'd need time.
So he steps towards the bed, silently, like he doesn't want the sound of his feet on the floor to wake him up. He prefers something more delicate; and that is why he sits softly on the bed, so that the mattress jolts just a little under their bodies. For a few moments, he just stares at the way Kurt's face looks relaxed while he sleeps. His lips are just barely arched up into a smile and his lashes are wonderfully long and blended. He's so gorgeous, seriously, so ridiculously sweet and attractive at the same time while he breathes slowly.
This is probably going to be the first thing Blaine will see in the morning when he wakes up. No matter how things seem tensed up now, it's going to be just fine. Kurt and he are meant to be, they're soulmates, Blaine knows and that's why he isn't worried about this mess (or maybe he is a little worried, but just a little, not enough to express his doubts to Kurt so that he would feel tense too).
He leans his hand on Kurt's arm, left uncovered from the tight t-shirt he is wearing. Kurt stiffens a little in his sleep and Blaine just brushes his skin with his fingertips, feeling the heat coming from it. It's lovely and pleasant, and it has always been like that, even when they just hooked up at the wedding (mostly, because it was never just a hook-up to him, it could never be just that).
"Kurt?" He whispers softly, almost like he isn't sure he wants to wake him now. Damn, he looks so amazing while he's unaware of Blaine presence, like he's subconsciously showing some new side of him he would never show otherwise.
It's not like they didn't sleep together before, of course; but everytime they did, Kurt hid into his arms or wrapped his own around Blaine, so that he didn't show too much of his face. Plus, he usually woke up before Blaine did, so Blaine really had a few chances to look at him while he's like this. He can't but wonder if it will change after they're married, if Kurt will let him see this exposed side of him more often. Well, it's not essential though. Blaine doesn't want him to do anything Kurt's not comfortable with, not anymore.
"Kurt?" He calls him again and while he does, a fond smile appears on his face before he even realizes. It doesn't matter how attractive Sam or any other boy is, the spontaneous smile on his face is what being in love feels like. "Kurt, wake up, honey …" He murmurs, feeling that much of a husband when he says it.
It's weird how all this wedding thing makes him buzz with anticipation, but hey, Blaine is just super enthusiastic about everything he does or plans and this isn't going to be an exception.
"Mmph," it's more or less what Kurt replies and Blaine's grin widens because he looks so cute with his lips half-parted and the tip of his nose pressed into the pillow, so that it is slightly flattened.
"Kurt, it's me, Blaine," He says, his voice sounding probably happier than it should sound while he's waking up someone from his afternoon nap, "I really need to tell you something. I promise it won't take too long and then you can go back to sleep."
Kurt presses his eyes for a moment, like he's considering just pretending that he fell asleep again; but then, he can't help it, just because it's Blaine and mostly, something they need to talk about, apparently so much that Blaine woke him up – and he never does that. He breathes in a little, trying to come back to real life, and then he opens his eyes, fixing them immediately into Blaine, who's looking down at him with the best of puppy faces. Of course, because he knows that Kurt – or anyone else in the world – could never scold him when he wears that face.
"Hey there, sleepyhead," Blaine jokes, his smile so bright that it almost blinds Kurt, "Do you feel tired?"
"A little." Kurt answers, but his voice sounds incredibly hoarse so he needs to clear his throat for a moment before he adds, "Apparently noisy catchy duets in the middle of the courtyard tire me enough to make me sleep with no moisturizer on."
"Kurt, you were just taking a nap." Blaine giggles and Kurt shrugs against the bed.
"You know my mystic rituals to have the most perfect of skins," he jokes – maybe – and then Blaine is leaning over.
Kurt startles a little at the quick movement, but when Blaine's mouth presses on his, he has his eyes already shut. The kiss is lovely and sweet, and it tastes familiar and like everything Kurt knows and loves no matter what. It doesn't last long though, Blaine just sucks a little of his lower lip into his mouth and then lets go, his hand falling on the mattress, beside Kurt's right hip, while he's sitting beside his left one. Kurt feels a little heated up at being wrapped like this, even without a touch, so he just grins and looks up into his eyes.
Somehow, there's still a flock of invisible butterflies into his stomach when it comes to this man, but he isn't sure whether this is positive for his love life or just hurtful for his pride. Maybe it's both of them and he just needs to understand which one is more important to him.
"Your skin is already the most beautiful thing a boy could touch, Kurt," Blaine whispers, an adoring light shining into his eyes, "I can't really manage to see why you still go through this routine when you've already reached the most perfect level of softness."
"I can do better," Kurt whispers teasingly and then his smile shifts into a softer one, "What's this important thing you wanted to talk about? I hope it's worth it because you know my skin gets all tensed up when someone wakes me up unexpectedly."
Blaine laughs a little, but then he gets serious again because this is the moment. This is when he needs to sound and look believable enough for Kurt Hummel to agree to go out with Sebastian Smythe. Well, Kurt doesn't know that he's going to be alone with Sebastian, but Blaine does know and that doesn't make things easier, like, at all.
"Look, with all these things growing between us, I mean, getting serious and coming back together, I've realized there's something I want to change about us to make you feel better about me and to trust me more." He says and Kurt lifts his eyebrows curiously. "I feel like texting Sebastian behind your back was completely wrong and stupid, even though I was just being friendly as he flirted-"
"Oh that's so smart of you to bring it back to me right now, when I'm supposed to think I can trust you," Kurt can't keep but snap, hating a little how bitter he sounds, but not actually regretting it. It's something he hasn't come to terms with just yet, not even now.
"I know," Blaine sighs, "This is me opening to you even though I know I'm risking. I'm doing it because I don't want these things to happen, like, ever again."
"So what's the point?" Kurt asks, a little suspiciously.
"Well, Sebastian asked me to go out, as friends of course," he adds when he sees Kurt wincing, "And – you wouldn't believe it – when I told him you were in town, he said you could come too, that it wasn't a problem." Blaine ends up, enthusiastic at the way he made it sound nonchalantly. Though he doesn't know if Sebastian would actually invite Kurt.
"Oh god," Kurt rolls his eyes to the ceiling and lets himself fall back completely on the mattress, "How can't you see what he's doing here? It's just what he did the last time, he wants me there so that he can show me how better than me he is at anything. God, he irritates him so much, you know I hate violence, but I would totally slap him in the face-"
"Woah," Blaine interrupts, so that Kurt looks up at him now, "Kurt, I … I didn't know you guys were so tensed." He says hesitantly and for a moment he thinks back at what Sebastian told him about him and Kurt. How could Blaine never notice this?
"Yeah, well, it's fine now." Kurt sighs, and he looks a little sad. "Look, if you want me to come over, I will, but if you're inviting me because you feel obliged or something-"
"No, of course not." Blaine shakes his head. "In fact, it was Sebastian who invited you-"
"You wouldn't?" Kurt asks in disbelief and Blaine shakes his head again.
"I mean he did before I could." He says, swallowing just slightly, "It was sort of 'Oh Kurt is in town' and Sebastian was like 'He can come too'. That's it. I would have invited you even without his permission. It's not like he's anything more than a friend to me."
Kurt growls a little at the words and he looks away from Blaine. And well, that's all part of it, because Blaine knew Kurt wasn't going to be thrilled about it. So he leans a little forward until he takes Kurt's left hand into his own while the other is still pressed on the mattress, arm angled over Kurt's body.
"Kurt," he says and Kurt looks up at him a little reluctantly, "The reason why I'm doing this is that I want you to know that I've got nothing to hide from you anymore. Sebastian is my friend and he told me several times that he's determined to get in NYU next year, so we're both coming to your Big Apple," He stares as Kurt winces in disbelief like he had thought that the end of high school meant forgetting about Sebastian forever, "And since he's my friend and you can see it yourself that he's not even flirting anymore, can't you just guys try and get along for me? It would mean the world to me if my boyfriend and my friends could just … spend some time together without throwing daggers at each other."
Kurt looks at him contemplatively for a moment. He knows Blaine and he are trying to walk on a new path, but at the same time, he was expecting Blaine to be the one who made some efforts first. The fact that he's supposed to start with liking Sebastian isn't something that makes him comfortable; plus, the idea of Sebastian living in New York would probably mean that he'll need to spend a lot of time in the future with him, like, Blaine and he will probably still be friends if they're both in New York.
"Well, I didn't even know you were joining me in New York for sure," He says then, a little childishly, "I thought you were still confused about NYADA, Columbus and San Francisco."
"You-you don't want me in New York?" Blaine asks, his eyes widening and his jaw dropping.
"Of course I do," Kurt replies fast, lifting a little over his own elbows, "it's just that … you're not sure yet, so maybe Sebastian and I really don't need to get along …"
"I really want you to though." Blaine sighs sadly, and even if this is all due to the proposal, there's also an honest part of him who wants them to be friends, "Kurt, I swear once you meet Sebastian better, he isn't that much of an asshole. He's funny and witty, and he's got the funniest of laughs. He's been a nice boy lately, Kurt, and I think you should just give him a chance to be friends with you."
"I highly doubt he would want that," Kurt growls and rolls his eyes.
"I think he wants." Blaine looks at him fondly. "I swear it, Kurt. It didn't look annoyed when he told me you could come. He was spontaneously interested and he changed a lot during this year, believe me, I swear he would even want to make it up to you for all the things he did in the past. Give him a chance, I did."
"Yeah, and I really can't see why." Kurt scoffs, "He blinded you."
"He didn't want to."
"Oh yeah, right, he wanted to blind me instead." Kurt raises his eyebrows, "I had forgotten about this detail."
"He didn't mean it." Blaine shifts a little closer and he arches until his face is close to Kurt's. "Please, just once. If after tomorrow night you'll still think Sebastian is that annoying guy who wanted to steal your boyfriend, I swear I won't try to push you two to be friends ever again, but just … just for tomorrow, please?"
The Please is something that always works with Kurt, especially when he's not too angry. He isn't now, he's just a little annoyed at the thought of having to go out with Sebastian that will eventually flirt with his boyfriend all night long.
"Fine," He sighs and Blaine shrieks with excitement, "Where are we going? Scandals? Or is Sebastian actually capable of going somewhere less cheap and gross?"
"Oh Kurt, c'mon!" Blaine cuts but he's smiling happily and for a moment Kurt thinks it's actually too much of a reaction for a friendly date. That's because he doesn't know about the proposal. "I don't know where we're going but it's going to be fun. There's you and I, how can it not be fun?"
"You, Sebastian and I." Kurt sighs but Blaine is already moving in.
The thought of going with them doesn't stop Kurt from kissing him when Blaine presses his lips on his mouth. He lets his eyes go shut and just puts a hand behind Blaine's neck to keep him closer. They stay close, like this, just kissing softly and not going further. When they part and Blaine is still close enough to breathe over Kurt's mouth, Kurt sighs heavily and he gives in.
"Fine, I'll do it." He breathes out and before Blaine can shriek again – since his face looks like the sun itself for how much it's shining – he adds, "But just once. I won't go out with Sebastian ever again in my life, okay?"
"So okay." Blaine giggles and then he's kissing Kurt again, his heart full of the lightness and the happiness of knowing that he is pressing his lips against his future husband's.
What Blaine doesn't know yet though is that Kurt isn't going to be his husband, not at all.
What Kurt doesn't know yet is that he will go out with Sebastian again after tomorrow.
That night, when Blaine leaves the Hudmels' place, after dinner and some bros helping bros action (which is not so to be called anymore, since they're dating again), and he is sitting in his Ford down the boulevard, he stops for a moment to text Sam Evans by writing:
To Blonde Chameleon (11.45 pm): We've got tomorrow night :D!
And he smiles happy and amused when Sam texts back:
From Blonde Chameleon (11.47 pm): That sounds pretty gay, dude.
