A/N: Okay, so this is the third and final part of the prologue. It ends where the main story begins. Enjoy!

"Hey, Louis, can I talk to you?" Blaine asked that night. Louis was getting into bed and about to turn out his light.

"What do you need, Blaine?" He looked at Blaine in a mixture of sadness and anger.

"Kurt told me..."

"I don't care about Kurt. I just care about you and your safety...and Sebastian."

"S-Sebastian? As in Smythe?"

"What other Sebastian is there? He sees what's going on inside me. You don't. I'm sorry I wasn't there to protect you, Blaine. I won't be in your way anymore." Louis flicked off the light and rolled onto his side, facing away from Blaine.

"Louis, I'm sorry." Blaine faltered in his apology.

"Just forget about it," were the last words he got out of Louis that night.

Months passed and Louis and Sebastian became a couple. Kurt and Blaine, however, remained completely oblivious of each other's feelings. Kurt's friends were very aware and, along with a few Warblers, conspired to bring them together. Louis was the one who dragged Blaine into the Warbler rehearsal room while the New Directions girls tended to Kurt.

"Blaine, listen to me," Louis said. "Kurt loves you. And we know by that look on your face that you love him too."

"Why would he want me? I'm nothing," Blaine muttered, staring at the floor. He was slapped across the face by Louis.

"Dude!" Nick and Jeff exclaimed. Louis ignored them and grabbed Blaine by the shoulders.

"Blaine Devon Anderson, Kurt fucking loves you. Have you seen how starry-eyed he gets when you're together?"

The door opened and Kurt, followed by four girls, walked in.

"Tell him," a short brunette ordered.

"Rach, he..." Kurt tried to say but the girl glared at him so ferociously he stopped. "Blaine, I...I love you. I've loved you since we first met on the stairs. You are the sunshine in my darkness. The Sonny to my Cher. The Donny to my Marie."

"Weren't they brother and sister?" Quint whispered, but Louis shushed him.

"I love you too, Kurt." Blaine was beaming and Louis felt accomplished. Now Blaine wouldn't mope around the school anymore, moaning about heartache.

The end of the year came quickly, Kurt transferred back to McKinley upon the expulsion of his chief tormentor, and the New Directions placed second at Nationals. Blaine and Kurt were happy together, as were Louis and Sebastian. Summertime came and went and Blaine began considering transferring to McKinley to be with Kurt.

The first day of term; Blaine was packing his suitcase and Louis sat on his bed.

"You sure you want to do this, Blaine?" he asked softly. "I mean, I know you can take care of yourself now, what with boxing lessons and fight club, but I promised your parents I'd always be there for you."

"Louis," Blaine sat down, "thanks for being my best friend. I don't know how I'd be able to go about without you. Why don't you transfer too?"

"Blainers, remember what I said the day we transferred here?" Blaine shook his head and Louis gasped. "So much for best friends. I said I'd never go back to public school."

"Come on, buddy, what's going to happen?" Blaine tried to coax.

"I've heard about all the horrible things that happen at McKinley: locker slams, getting locked in port-a-potties, slushies being thrown at you out of random. No, no freaking way, man."

"Louis." Blaine poked his friend in the side, making him squirm.

"Okay, okay, I'll think about it." Blaine poked him again. "Alright, I'll do it! Ugh, why are you so damn adorable, Blaine?"

"I don't know. Genetics?" Louis scoffed and left the room.

"You're going to McKinley?" Sebastian's face fell at the news. "But...I-I love you, Louis."

"I love you too, Seb," Louis whispered. "I feel like kicking some public school jerk ass."

"So go instigate a couple fights over at Carmel." Sebastian wrapped his arms around the shorter boy.

"I only fight when they start it," Louis pointed out.

"But you'll be the competition," Sebastian whined. "And I'll feel horrible if the Warblers beat the New Directions."

"Bitch, please, if anyone's gonna beat anyone around here, it'll be the New Directions beating the Warblers," Louis challenged.

"You're on, Herlihy." Sebastian smirked. "But we'll still have weekends, right?"

"Of course, I'll come over after lights out." Louis winked and pressed a kiss to his boyfriend's lips. "I just might drop by during the week too."

"As much as I hate to see you go, you deserve it," Sebastian said softly. "I want you to be happy, baby."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I love you, Louis."

"I love you too, Sebastian."

After a long goodbye that involved Blaine and Louis being crushed to death by their now-former Warbler teammates, they loaded their luggage into Louis' SUV.

"Why are you still driving this soccer mom mobile?" Blaine teased.

"Oh, shut up," Louis muttered. "You want to drive your damn Prius with all this crap in tow? Be my guest."

"Let's play Katy Perry's new album!" Blaine pulled said CD from his knapsack.

"My car, my music." Louis grabbed the CD and tossed it into the backseat. Blaine pouted. "Don't pouty face me, Blaine. You know it doesn't work." He pulled out his iPod and plugged it in. A pop dance beat started up and Blaine looked at Louis in curiosity.

"Turn around, stand up like a man and look me in the eye

Turn around, take one final look at what you've left behind

Then walk away from the greatest lover you have ever known

Yes, walk away, you're telling me that you can make it on your own

By yourself, all alone, without my help

Mister, you just made a big mistake

You think you're a man, but you're only a boy

You think you're a man, but you're only a toy

You think you're a man, but you just couldn't see

You weren't man enough to satisfy me,"

Louis sang. Blaine sat back and let the music and Louis' voice swell around him.

"Blaine!" Kurt ran and hugged his boyfriend. "You're earlier than we expected. Hi, Louis."

"Hey, Kurt," Louis smiled. Blaine looked at him pointedly. "I'm sorry if I made you feel unwelcome at Dalton. I was just jealous of you and Blaine."

"It's okay," Kurt shrugged. "Nick and Jeff told me why. I forgive you. Come on in and meet the New Directions."

Louis opened his mouth to make a snide comment but Blaine elbowed him. "Don't," he mouthed.

"Everyone, you already know Blaine." Some members of the New Directions waved. "This is Louis, Blaine's best friend." Louis nodded. "For a refresher, this is Finn, Rachel, Artie, Tina, Quinn, Puck, Mike, Santana, Brittany, Joe, and Rory. Where's..."

"Hey, guys." A tall blond boy walked into the room and exchanged high-fives with Finn.

"And this is Sam." Blaine looked up at the name and saw the one and only Sam Evans smiling back at him.

"Blaine?" Louis turned to the curly-haired boy, who was visibly shaking. "Blaine!"
