Liam had burst through the open doors of the choir room looking around to find Mr Schuester sitting there with his wife Emma. He bounded over towards them giving them massive hugs. Both had been taken aback at this gesture but received it gratefully. 'Summers?' He realised his girlfriend was not behind him as he had walked in. He rolled his eyes. 'Summers?' She walked in. 'Hi Mr Schue, Mrs Schue. It's good to see you both again. I'm really sorry about the entrance of my boyfriend, sometimes he doesn't know what's good for him.' She glared at him then winked. Another pair of footsteps were heard coming towards them. Natalie practically ran to them and the people behind them. 'PIP! ANDY!' She squealed first then letting them go over to Liam. 'MARLEY! JAKE! RYDER! WADE!' They instantly yelled back her name as they pulled each other into one big group hug. Mike and Tina approached as well with Rachel, Mercedes, Puck and Finn who got in before they disbanded and went into the choir room. 'Glad you came now babe?' Liam quizzed her to where she stuck her tongue out, muttered something that sounded like 'I cannot believe this' and huffed to everyone's amusement. She was so like Blaine.


'I'm really glad for you, honestly. You two have put in so much effort to make this all happen. But I wish you could've told me sooner, I was practically dragged out the house by Andy tonight' Pippa laughed shrugging about how sudden all this 'lets meet up thing was. She didn't mind though. No one did. Finn and Puck had arrived by this time also, Rachel and him having gotten over their break up spat reached out to hug each other after Puck had and then got tackled by his half bro. Santana and Brittany arrived on the scene next with many hugs from the group. They had missed these two deeply especially their no can do attitude Then Kurt and Blaine stood next to them putting hands over their faces playing the guess who game to which both guessed correctly which had put them into astonishment for 5 minutes or so. Everyone in the group already knowing the couple's status drifted away slowly. Sam breezed through the door at that exact point but not questioning anything, he reached over to hug his best friend (they had given each other these statuses of affection because Sam had been the one to reach out to Blaine the most and vice versa when they needed someone to talk to who weren't their significant others or parents or even Mr Schuester) but not before noticing two silver bands. 'Hey, you two. Great to see you all again, trust me. What's with the silver bands though?'


''How could I have not noticed that before, Mr Schue? HOW?! Its like a fairy tale, only instead of a princess and a prince, there are two princes' Natalie rambled on after the couple had told the three unsuspecting friends/mentor of their new engagement Natalie went on about Finding Nemo for a bit saying how their relationship could be contrasted to Dory's and Nemo's father but not and then went on to the Little Mermaid and Eric then to Pocahontas which didn't they think had a sad ending but the second film not as sad but bad? Then she went off onto Mulan then finally onto Tangled and Cinderella. Half of the group had trouble keeping up with her cept for Blaine - he was so used to this by now -rolling his eyes at his sister. Blaine looked toward his best friend of 3 - 4 years now to see how he had taken the news, he looked decidedly happy.
'Guys I am so happy for you, have you decided where you're going to have it and whose going to be your best men/women?' Mr Schuester asked focusing back in on the main area, he knew that Kurt would have Carole and Burt's help along with Cooper but Blaine's dad? No. Way. The two had, had the biggest flare up once in the choir room and it was about...hang on. The argument was about whether his dad would walk him down the aisle if Kurt happened to say yes to which he smacked him across the face and promptly started to swear attacking him violently. Cooper had been looking for him. He pointed him into the room, saving Blaine from broken body pieces That had happened precisely a year ago, he didn't forget Blaine's face. He was jolted back into the moment to find Kurt nudging a slightly anxious looking Blaine.


'Actually we sort of already have. We sat down to think about it last week. We've decided that we want all of the glee club there, including everyone who couldn't be here tonight. We went through so much together, I couldn't stand to not have them there. My brother and Puck are going to be the ring bearers - Puck looked over, smiled and gave the big thumbs up as a sign that he actually did want that job for them before turning back around - Kurt's bridesmaids are Rachel and Mercedes, don't even ask, and Burt's walking Kurt down the aisle.' He finished off. There was something off though, Kurt kept nudging him to say more. He didn't for a bit though. 'Okay Kurt, okay, hahahaha! I'l ask them now babe - Sam, Natalie and Will smiling at this sign of affection, something Will had noticed when he first came to visit Dalton to check on Kurt and had listened to the two singing, their voices mashing together nicely to a duet of 'Baby Its cold outside' then passing the boy saying hi and him smiling as if Blaine didn't know that he was slightly infatuated already with Kurt, he had noticed the sadness in eyes though, the same look when he had mentioned Burt walking Kurt down the aisle. This boy needed a father figure -
' Sam. I'd. I'd really like it, if you'd . Ah to hell with that, Sam, you are my best friend and you've helped through a ton of stuff these past couple of years and I would be honored if you'd be my best man. Will you?' Sam had tears in his eyes, he didn't think he was that important in his life, just a best friend, every person had them. But no, here he was asking him to be his best man. Overwhelmed he threw his arms around him, both of them crying as Blaine hear the word 'Yes, a million times yes, best buddy' pass his lips. Kurt watched this event unfold slowly grinning to himself glad Blaine had thought of such a sweet idea. Kurt was then glad after they had pulled away that he had thought of this next bit, Natalie looked up congratulating Sam as he decided to pull up a chair and listening to the rest of the conversation, looking grateful and shocked.


'Hey Nat?' She looked up at her brothers voice to see his ever cheerful smile. 'Yes oh dear gay brother of mine?' To which broke out a fit of giggles from the small group. 'I'd really like you to be there too. And I want you to be my bridesmaid' Blaine took her hands as he said this, she didn't know how to react so just copied Sam only without the crying. Last but not least thought Blaine. He studied how to say this out loud for a moment, surprised that Kurt had thought this idea up as well., he loved it though.
'Mr Schuester?' Blaine whispered carefully, his voice full of uncertainty. His old teacher nodded. 'I erm. See the thing is. I haven't really got a lot of 'supporting family' - he spoke this with air quotes and Will's smile faded, he knew from the father scene last year this was true - and I really hoped that maybe..y-you could. I'd really like if you could walk me down the aisle - a gasp erupted from each individual across the room, they had all been ear wigging in but this one caught them off guard, most started to lean in to the conversation to Kurt's humor - It's just I asked my actual dad but that didn't go down well and I don't really think of him as a father figure, never have. But I don't think of Cooper that way either. Kurt was actually the one to suggest I ask you seeing as you were and still are here to help. I mean you don't hav... By this time Will had pulled Blaine into a tight hug not wanting to let him go. He knew his troubles, heck the whole club did! But not as much as the group surrounding him now. He was seriously proud of how far he'd come. Emma had walked in on this scene, smiled to herself thinking it was about time her husband realised that he had fatherly feelings and instincts for Blaine Anderson then nodded to Kurt, Natalie and Sam before leaving as quickly as she had done before.


'Well Hummel, I'm glad you finally get some happiness for a change' Puck mentioned as he pulled him into a hug then left. It was around 11 and everyone else except for a couple had already gone home. The only people remaining were Kurt, Blaine, Mr Schue, Natalie, Liam and Sam. 'Thanks Puck, I hope you do too, see you soon' With that he left them fist bumping everyone else and whispered a 'good luck mate' to Blaine and hugged. He was fond of him too and was so happy for Kurt, for both. A couple of minutes after Puck left, Burt burst into the room looking tired. Kurt rushed over. 'Dad, what on planet Earth are you doing here? We told you we were going to be late tonight but Finn left early' Burt looked confused for a sec then seemed to grasp the situation. 'Whoops sorry kiddo. Should have guessed. And how are you today Blaine?' He quizzed him. 'I'm doing well, I believe you know my sister Natalie?' Burt nodded slowly to the girl helping another guy stack chairs, he must be the boyfriend she talked about constantly next to Blaine and Kurt and what her Uni course is like. 'Yep, lovely girl, great mechanic like you wouldn't believe. Right kiddo, you staying over Blaine's or ours tonight?' At this moment in time, Mr Schuester entered the conversation. 'Actually Kurt, I hope you don't mind but I kind of need to talk to Blaine tonight, okay?' Kurt knew what was unfolding and didn't attempt to stop it happening, Blaine needed this. 'Course not Mr Schuester!.
