LvSammy's and GleefulDarrenCrissFan's Reviews were so full of excitement I couldn't help but feel giddy myself and update again - thank you guys for the reviews! Dear Cecilaine yes It was updated (differently) simply as stated previously I wasn't happy with how it was playing out and I couldn't work with it. When the writers aren't happy usually the readers wouldn't be if that makes sense? Anyway I've been working on ideas and how it'll mend together hence why I was okay to update again.
Now I need everybody's opinion. I'm still thinking I'll keep the Mercedes/abuse storyline, but I want to do a bit of research on that and warn people in advance. Are you all okay with this? Should I keep it with the Matt storyline or should I introduce her to someone online where she suddenly met someone. (I am not entirely sure about this one) And if anybody wants an idea of how Elliot is looking in this story, just watch the latest xFactorAu the Halloween vibe he had going is how Elliot was dressing when Kurt met him (he nailed that performance on stage too! AAAAH I'm fangirling hard to have him as a judge)
And I am having a very happy Tuesday thank you! I got offered a full time position for work next year so YIPPY, that still gives me the rest of this year to work on this story and I got work to look forward to after it, so hope something good happens to you all this week and thanks for making my day!
"Are you nervous?" Elliot asked as he took Kurt's hand and walked him to the entrance of the venue where people were gathering. It was an outdoor wedding. A gorgeous day had shined on them; white napoleon chairs were already set up this morning thanks to Kurt's help as well as a chiffon arch with arranged flowers on it. Even though Kurt's hand was sweating in Elliot's hand he shook his head "No, Rachel has been wanting to get married for a long time now and Jessie is perfect for her…" Elliot interrupted with a whisper "I meant about seeing Blaine,"
Kurt didn't have time to answer because soon a limo pulled up outside the massive park's entrance and Blaine popped out with Sebastian both wearing suits and matching ties. So the meerkat did come after all. So much for he'd rather drowning than being in the same room as Kurt. Kurt couldn't help but notice how Blaine glanced at Kurt before his eyes went to Elliot with a slight frown on his face. Sebastian was keeping an arm around Blaine's waist tugging him inside to go get a seat but Blaine ignored him, his eyes glued to Kurt's partner. "Hey Kurt!" He called as he approached them and Kurt's heart skipped a beat. He had missed that voice.
Elliot turned around and beamed when Kurt nodded "Hi Blaine,"
"So you're the famous Blaine. Pleasure to meet you," Elliot stuck a hand out and Blaine just looked at Elliot cautiously ignoring the friendly talk "Where did you meet Kurt?"Kurt was surprised by his tone of voice. It wasn't like Blaine to be so ... protective? Was he just being protective?
"Probably on Tinder," Sebastian smirked next to Blaine. Kurt was about to argue and snap at Blaine for his rudeness when Elliot stepped closer to Kurt
"Actually wrong, we met in a bar," Kurt quickly glanced at Elliot surprised by the tale. Especially since Kurt didn't drink.
"I couldn't resist asking this pretty face out, and he needed a date for the wedding so I stepped up and was happy to take the job," Elliot grinned wrapping his arm around Kurt similar to how Sebastian had been holding Blaine earlier. Blaine didn't look too thrilled by this. "Just like that? You hardly know each other,"
"You're not my father Blaine, I'm a big boy. I can take care of myself," Kurt said firmly but Blaine couldn't wrap his head around it "Yeah but a bar? It just doesn't seem like you,"
"That's because you go there when you get desperate," Sebastian told Blaine but he made it so that it was loud enough for Kurt and Elliot to hear.
"Funny I thought I saw you at Scandals just yesterday having a beer," Elliot commented and Sebastian gaped at him, he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Have you been stalking me?" Sebastian didn't notice the way Blaine's eyebrow rose in alarm but Kurt was watching this with curiosity.
"You told me you were practising with the Warblers yesterday!" Blaine hissed to his partner. Sebastian's eyes widened by what he'd just confessed to and tried to console Blaine who was moving away from him angrily "Babe that was after, don't look at me like that B, I was stressed! Kurt is awful to work with and…"
"I'm not talking to you right now Sebastian, I need some space so I can concentrate on my job,"
"All you do is take photos how hard can it be!" Sebastian called out to Blaine who was storming of to find a place to set up his equipment and then Kurt snapped in defence "Actually to get the right lighting and the right angle and the right position it takes a lot of patience and nobody has ever complained about Blaine's work because it's always on point," Blaine had disappeared already so Kurt didn't really need to say all this but he felt like he owed it to Blaine.
"Oh fuck of Hummel," Sebastian growled looking as though he was about to attack Kurt. Elliot pushed Kurt back gently when Sebastian went too close "I wouldn't dare if I were you, kind reminder in future I am a black belt,"
Sebastian left in a rage and Elliot placed both hands on Kurt's shoulders and looked at him closely "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine you didn't have to do that," Kurt smiled weakly but Elliot rolled his eyes "Of course I did.I was actually bluffing about the beer you know, I was working yesterday and then fell asleep when you rang up," Kurt laughed and shook his head unbelievably at his new friend. "I thought Scandals was the only gay bar in Ohio,"
"Nah they have one here too, it has a reputation of having only floozy's there, so if Sebastian was hanging there. You can't blame Blaine for being pissed,"
"Wouldn't that make you look like a floozy too though?" Kurt asked curiously as they slowly approached Burt and Carole who was waving at them to come over.
"I honestly don't care what these people think of me Kurt. I'm just here to support you," Kurt smiled "Thank you,"
"No problem, it wouldn't hurt to try and help you win Blaine back too, and maybe there's a hot guy here for myself, win win for all," Kurt chuckled. "Well Rachel's dads were gay, and I believe she invited some gay men so you might be in luck,"
"Hey guys this is my friend Elliot, Gilbert" Kurt introduced him to Burt and Carole and Burt was staring at Elliot's tattoos and earpieces and he didn't look entirely excited by Kurt's new 'friend' but Elliot was charming and polite and by the end of their conversation Elliot was talking about cars with Burt, Kurt knew he'd won them over.
He noticed Blaine must have cooled down some because he was greeting Tina and by her expression he must have been asking how she was holding up.
Carole seemed to notice where he was staring and nudged him gently "Why don't you go say hello?"
Blaine hugged Tina who then smiled and walked over to greet Artie.
Blaine turned and saw him staring, he smiled at him and Kurt smiled back but then his eyes went back to Elliot's back and Kurt watched as Blaine's face fell. Blaine was gone in a flash as though he had somewhere to be.
What was that all about?
"I've already talked to him this morning," Kurt replied to Carole who then told Burt they better get their seats before they were all taken. "I made sure there was enough for all the guest," Kurt assured. Burt chuckled "I'm sure you did kiddo, but we want the best view obviously she's your best friend," Kurt smiled as they kissed him goodbye.
"Nice to meet you both," Elliot said kissing Carole's hand who giggled. Burt just nodded gruffly and told Kurt they'd meet them later.
The Warblers arrived looking excited, and very dashing. Elliot seemed to be very enchanted by Trent as well who had immediately noticed him within minutes of Kurt saying hello. "You guys all ready for tonight?" They all cheered and clapped Kurt on the shoulder which Kurt realised was a Warbler thing as well as their cry "Oh yeah!"
"Oh I think I forgot to ask where the party was going to be," Elliot asked and Trent laughed "Radio Music Hall, were still pinching ourselves,"
"That's where we are heading after the wedding, you don't have to tag along if you're too tired by then," Kurt added but Elliot stared at him in amazement "You kidding!? Radio music hall is incredible and I've never had the opportunity to go inside,"
Kurt grinned at this. He also noticed Jeff and Nick were rather cosier than usual. He smiled at their held hands and pretended not to notice.
They went to sit in the back which Kurt had reserved especially for them. If they were coming to sing for the couple they may as well see the wedding and get a free ride in the limo to Radio Music Hall. To them it was all a dream come true, so Kurt was happy to do it.
After they said hello to a few more of Kurt's friends who were all curious about Elliot and where Kurt met him. Elliot just kept the same storyline and amused them with interactions that never happened making Kurt laugh in the process.
Kurt showed Elliot where to sit and then walked up to the front of the aisle where he was one of Jessie's best man as requested by Rachel.
He stood next to Jessie waiting for the Bride and before the wedding started Jessie whispered "Thanks for everything Kurt, you're really awesome," Kurt nodded and couldn't help but feel protective "Just continue to make her happy and you'll be in my good books,"
"Done deal," Jessie grinned and Blaine was near the corner with his camera ready.
There was no surprise when everyone stood up as Rachel reached the beginning of the long aisle in between the rows of seats; she was absolutely stunning as she walked down gracefully carrying ivory, pastel pink, pastel orange and white roses wearing a dress similar to the one designed by David Emmanuel which Princess Diana wore on her wedding day. Kurt couldn't help but smile remembering their talks about the royal family in highschool, and they still kept up to date with the news on Facebook, sharing pages to each other every so often, he sometimes missed their girl night sleepovers.
There was a flower girl in front throwing petals who was in relation to Jessie and 3 more behind carrying the train from the dress. Her dads walked beside her side by side, because Rachel had insisted both of them walking her down to her husband, not willing to choose just one, and Barbra Streisand's I've dreamed of you was playing in the background.
Her eyes met Kurt first and they both smiled broadly at each other before her eyes went straight to her husbands. Kurt actually shed a tear as the music got louder and he couldn't help but glance at Blaine who had been taking photos nonstop and was staring briefly at Kurt when their eyes met.
It was time for their speeches by the time Kurt managed to stop crying. He was so glad he wasn't a woman because his make up would be ruined although he glanced at Elliot slightly in his seat who was using a tissue to wipe at his own eyes and Kurt couldn't help but grin a little. Elliot waved at him and Kurt smiled even more, it was nice having Elliot support him he realised rather than wishing this was him and Blaine getting married.
At that thought he turned back to pay attention. "May we have the rings,"
It wasn't long before the vows were being said.
Jessie was speaking
"Rachel darling… you are my best friend. I promise to laugh with you, cry with you, and grow with you. I will love you when we are together and when we are apart. I promise to support your dreams and to respect our differences, and to love you and be by your side through all the days and nights of our lives"
Kurt could have sworn he heard a sob from Carole but he was trying to keep himself together himself since he was the one carrying the rings.
Blaine was snapping a shot of them in the background and Kurt tried not to worry too much if his hair looked okay.
"Jessie… I will laugh with you in times of joy, and comfort you in times of sorrow. I will share in your dreams and support you as you strive to achieve your goals. I will listen to you with compassion and understanding, and speak to you with encouragement. Together, let us build a home filled with learning, laughter and light, shared freely with all who may live there. Let us be partners, friends and lovers, today and all of the days that follow"
Rachel looked like she was going to shed tears herself as she stared at Jessie and Kurt worried that she'd ruin her make up before the big group photo but then he thought ah screw it, they'll just touch it up again, and besides this was a day to cry tears of joy.
Although he couldn't help but think of Finn, Finn should be the one standing here, not Jessie.
His eyes met Blaine's again who seemed to have drawn his attention and knew what he was thinking.
Blaine smiled sadly at him as though he knew.
Kurt closed his eyes for a bit before regaining strength and thought no…his brother would want Rachel happy.
The tears began to well up again though and a snap of the camera went again and Kurt was going to kill Blaine for taking photos of them while he cried in the background.
The two kissed when they were told they could do so and everyone stood and clapped for the newlyweds.
Kurt's hands were sore by the time he stopped.
He went over to Blaine while Rachel and Jessie went to talk with relatives and signed papers before Blaine took photos of them ignoring Sebastian's threat he used the opportunity where Blaine was alone to speak with him.
"Blaine…" He called when Blaine was just packing his camera equipment ready to move out and take it elsewhere.
"Hey," Blaine greeted smiling "You did a great job Kurt. It was a gorgeous wedding, you look stunning by the way. I didn't want to upset your date by saying so,"
"You do too," Kurt admitted appreciating the fact he could wear a suit so well.
Richard Gere was the only other man who had been able to give him butterflies when wearing a suit and Blaine was giving him those butterflies.
"Are we okay?" Kurt hesitated "I hate us not talking but I know your boyfriend thinks we shouldn't and I'll respect that if that's what you want,"
Blaine shook his head and grabbed his hand squeezing it. "It's not what I want, at all Kurt, but maybe we can keep some distance just for a while? I don't want to upset you again and I've done enough of that and I'm upsetting Bas as well. I just think I need to think about what I'm doing and who I'm hurting in the meantime,"
Kurt nodded not looking at Blaine but at his hands "Okay," Kurt went to move away then "That's fine,"
"I hope Elliot makes you happy," Blaine called out quietly just before Kurt left and continued "Although I think you're too good for him,"
Kurt wanted to tell him he wasn't dating Elliot but by doing that he'd just confuse Blaine more. Kurt just wanted Blaine to be happy and if that was with Sebastian than…
"Bye Blaine," He said instead as a reply and went back to his non date. After the group photo Elliot asked about what happened and when Kurt told him, Elliot begged Kurt not to give up. They were on their way too meeting the Warblers at Radio Music Hall.
"There's still time," Elliot insisted but Kurt sighed "There's no use Elliot, he loves Sebastian,"
"Never say never," Elliot disagreed and Kurt groaned "Do not quote Bieber ever again Star Child,"
"Bieber?"
"Justin Bieber?"
Elliot still wore a blank face.
"You can't be for real," Kurt laughed when Elliot wasn't kidding.
They arrived at Radio Music Hall just in time to see Nick down on one leg outside. The Warblers were in the background as the limo pulled up Kurt watched in surprise as Nick popped open a box "Jeff will you marry me?"
