Okay, so I thought it would be a good idea to make a fanfiction based on the events of this Thursday's episode. And this is sort of the lead up to it. I don't think it's very exciting, but I'm hoping that will change when the Klaine action actually starts to kick in.
Excitement filled the air. For Will and Emma, this was the best day of their lives, the day they would be officially married. The students and members of glee club were full of joy and happiness for the soon-to-be-wed couple. Everyone's problems would be put aside to ensure that the wedding would be a nice and peaceful occasion.
Well, it was supposed to be.
For two ex-McKinley students, their presence would only bring themselves awkward moments. It was strange really. A romantic event being made weird by estranged other romances. Or romances that used to be a thing, to be correct.
"Are you two excited for the wedding?" Santana asked two grim faces in the bubbliest voice she could manage. Almost too bubbly. She never speaks like that.
Kurt Hummel and Rachel Berry could only manage to glance at each other. They were excited, of course. It would be deemed selfish of them to feel another different emotion, but going back to their hometown and facing old relationships right in the face was going to be undoubtedly difficult.
Santana grew impatient way too quickly, "You're both worried about the other two aren't you? Finn and Blaine?"
She had hit the nail right on the head. It was pretty obvious anyway. Before moving to New York, Rachel and Kurt were almost always with their respective partners. And even when they weren't, their names were almost always on their lips. Especially Rachel's.
"No Santana, it's not like we're not going to acknowledge them while we're there," Kurt said, not without sarcasm.
"I've known Finn for years, I've grown so much as a person because of him. Besides, we only broke up a few months ago. Did you really think we were going to forget everyone so quickly?" Rachel said. "And what about Brittany? Are you nervous about meeting her again? Because you should be."
Santana just shrugged, her cheeks turning red. But not noticeably because of the colour of her blusher, "Maybe a little."
Rachel looked a little sympathetic then, as did Kurt. All three of them knew what it was like to be in each other's shoes. All of their situations were similar, if not the same. They were all about to experience sheer awkwardness at this wedding, maybe even more than they were supposed to feel that rush of excitement. What you were expected to feel like at weddings. But perhaps their mixed emotions would all be put down to nerves. The trio hoped that would be the case.
Both Santana and Rachel's eyes were glued to their pocket mirrors. Rachel applying another layer of pale pink lipgloss, Santana grooming her hair with a brush. Meanwhile, Kurt stared at a photo album on his iPhone titled 'Blaine Anderson'. He whispered his name over and over again like it was a prayer. Except no words were able to come out.
Back in the grounds of McKinley High School, the glee club kids were busy rehearsing a special number for the anticipated wedding between the two teachers. The students had spent months preparing for this occasion and perfecting the song and the routine. Nothing could go wrong. If one single member slipped, forgotten their line or hit a note the wrong way, it could backfire on the glee club and the wedding. The pretty occasion wouldn't be as successful as it could have been, and the glee club kids' high school lives wouldn't be made any better.
"Tina, you go stand far to the right. Finn, can you go back a bit? You're a bit too far front. Jake, darling, you can stand next to me," Marley ordered everyone around, acting like she was the boss and in charge of the wedding. Like she was the one getting married.
"You do know Blaine is the kind of like the main guy, right? I mean, he's the one whose voice is going to be standing out?" Finn pointed out, turning it into a question.
Blaine just stood in the same spot, staring at the group, looking clueless.
"I know that," Marley rolled her eyes at him. "But I don't think Blaine knows what to do when stage directions are involved. Do you, Blaine?"
Blaine simply shook his head. He was lying. He knew what stage directions were and had an exact idea of what he wanted to happen on stage. But in his mind it was much easier letting Marley have her own way, at least then no arguments could take place.
Blaine sat down on one of the red, plastic chairs and took his iPhone from out of his pocket. He opened the Facebook app out of total boredom, he didn't know why. That damn website had already caused enough problems with his life. He began scrolling through his timeline, not caring about half the stuff he was reading. The one time he actually paid attention to a status was when Kurt ended up on his feed. Kurt's status wasn't anything fancy or interesting, but it certainly got Blaine's attention:
'On the way back home for the wedding' was all it said.
Blaine stared at Kurt's perfect grammar and punctuation. There was some doubt in his mind that Kurt was talking about some other wedding, perhaps a relative of him and his dad was also getting hitched on the exact same day. But the previous posts Kurt had made that day congratulating both Will and Emma said otherwise. Blaine let out a big sigh of happiness and opened his mouth to speak.
"Guys, I know exactly what song we're gonna sing," Blaine announced, with a massive grin on his face. The others were staring at him, awaiting his answer with bated breaths.
"Come What May." he eventually said. It was the right song decision. Blaine knew it, everyone knew it. It was the perfect song for a wedding, for Valentines Day, but especially for one special person who was on Blaine's mind.
Kurt Hummel.
Opinions/Reviews? I think I'll try and write a new, longer, hopefully better chapter than this one either tomorrow or on Thursday :)
