Blaine wasn't entirely sure how it had happened but he was the host of the New Years Eve party. New Years Eve was a time that Blaine had normally spent by himself, even last year when he had been dating Kurt he had spent the night watching movies and eating popcorn by himself. This year he was surrounded by loud, drunken show choir members (both past and present) who had gathered together to bring in the New Year.
Blaine couldn't help but comment to Sebastian, as they hid anything of great importance to his mother in preparation for the influx of people, how much of a random thrown together group would be in Blaine's house. There were current members of both the New Directions and the Warblers, as well as former members, Blaine's friends from Polo, Cheerios and Sebastian's friends from Lacrosse. It was a very...eclectic, mix of personalities. A mix that Blaine was praying would not want to kill each other by midnight.
Sebastian had, of course, told him that he had nothing to worry about, but that was when he had been sober and Blaine tried to fight back a chuckle as he watched Sebastian attempt to play Dance Dance Revolution with Mike. Blaine, who knew that he was a lightweight when it came to alcohol (kissing Rachel Berry was prove of that), was taking it easy especially as he guessed that most of his guest would end up crashed on the floor.
Blaine leaned back against in the doorway to the living room in which the majority of people had gathered watching in amusement. He noted how Sam, Wes and the Unholy Trinity were playing Twisted in one corner of the room, a group if horny Warblers watching drooling at the sight. Blaine smiled as he noticed that Thad kept glancing across at Quinn and coughing when one of the Warblers watching made an inappropriate comment. Blaine grinned as he saw the new New Directions members (bar Kitty) curled up on the sofa red solo cups in hand. Blaine had been sure to keep a close eye on the younger members of the New Directions, as he was unsure as to how they were going to cope with the alcohol. It appeared that they just got cuddly but then again, he wasn't sure as to what or how much they had had. Kitty was with Artie and Jeff (there was a trio he hadn't expected) appearing to be talking about Blaine as they kept looking over at him he would investigate that later).
However, to Blaine one of the most surprising pairings at his party was the one of Puck and Rachel. Or as Tina had informed him earlier, Puckleberry. Blaine knew that the two had dated briefly in an attempt to make Finn and Quinn jealous, but he had never expected them to ever re-kindle that relationship.
Blaine jumped as a hand clamped down on his shoulder. He twisted slightly so that he was facing the owner of the hand and was surprised to find it belonged to Charlie. Charlie played Polo with |Blaine, along with Logan and Matt who were stood just behind him.
"Hey...cool party Blainers..."
"I'm glad you could come..."
Logan scoffed, "This beats whatever party I would've been dragged to by parents..."
The three other boys shivered at the thought. Blaine, Charlie, Logan and Matt had first when they were 6 at some charity event that each of their parents had been involved in. The four had formed a strong friendship that hadn't faltered 12 years later. While Blaine should technically have graduated high school the previous year, the other three (whose birthdays were in September, October and November of the same year) were a school year younger. However, that was one thing that the boys had celebrated when it was announced that Blaine would have to repeat his freshman year, that they weren't going to be split up. It was Charlie, Logan and Matt who had given Blaine hope that not everyone was like the homophobes that he had encountered at West Westerville High.
"Logan's right man...now are any of these chicks single?"
Blaine chuckled at Matt's question and scanned the room quickly, "Tina...the girl looking miserable in the corner...and Bree...the one scowling at the sofa...and Kitty who's with Jeff and Artie...but that's your lot really..."
"Why is that girl looking so miserable? Tina?" Charlie questioned gesturing in the vague direction of where Tina was sat.
"She's not a fan of Bas...she's still hoping that Kurt and I will get back together..."
"How is the ice queen?" Matt asked.
Blaine rolled his eyes at the nickname that Charlie, Logan and Matt had given Kurt when they were dating. That should have been Blaine's first clue really, when even the three people who had stuck by him through everything were vocal in their dislike for Kurt.
Blaine shrugged, "Don't know...he's in New York...Rachel lives with him...they're best friends...she said he's seeing someone...but honestly I don't care..."
Charlie grinned, "Good...we like Seb...he's good for you...you've been more like the Blaine you were that first summer you came home from Dalton..."
Blaine just smiled. He knew exactly what Charlie meant. He had changed when he was with Kurt and he was only just starting to feel comfortable as himself again, it was undeniable that Sebastian was a huge part of that.
"What so the ice queen's best friend I here? At his ex's New Years Eve party?" Logan asked in surprise.
"Yep...she's over there making out with Puck...but I'm guessing Kurt doesn't know that she's here..."
Charlie nodded and glanced around the room, "Now we know that the girls on offer aren't...stellar choices...but what about guys...what about that attractive guy over there?"
Blaine rolled his eyes and glanced over to where Charlie was pointing only to see Hunter Clarington (what a surprise he and Sebastian had had when he had turned up with a cheap bottle of wine). Blaine knew that Charlie had high expectations of whoever he made out with or dated, whether that be male or female, and Blaine wasn't sure that Hunter would meet those expectations.
"Hunter Clarington...he's a Warbler...new this year...apparently he's not...and I'm quoting...remotely bi-curious...but if you ask me..."
"That screams sexuality crisis...or at least denial...don't worry I'm on the case..."
Blaine, Matt and Logan watched as Charlie made his way over to where Hunter was sat by himself. Blaine glanced side-wards at his friends, "Do you think I should've told him Hunter transferred from a Military Academy?"
Matt and Logan laughed, "Nah...Charlie can handle himself...or at least that's what he wants us to believe..."
Logan nodded, "Now if you'll excuse us...we each need to find a pretty girl to kiss in a couple of minutes..."
Blaine nodded and watched as they disappeared into the throng of people who were beginning to stand in front of the TV which had the Times Square Ball drop playing in the background. Blaine noticed that many seemed to be coupling up, especially those who hadn't known anyone prior to tonight.
Blaine felt a pair of hands slide around his waist and he breathed in the scent that was unique to his boyfriend, "Hey you..."
"Hmm...Hi...Happy New Year.."
Blaine chuckled as Sebastian nuzzled his neck, "It's not the New Year yet..."
"But it will be..."
"Yep..It will..."
The pair stood silently, Sebastian continuing to nuzzle and kiss Blaine. Blaine smiled. He couldn't quite believe the changes he had gone through in the past year. This time last year he was dating Kurt; he was still being accused of stealing Finn's spotlight; the Warblers and Sebastian were on the path to becoming enemy number 1. But now he was so completely utterly in love with Sebastian and everything didn't seem to really matter.
