part 14

"Bas!" Lexi called through the house as she climbed the stairs Friday morning. Just after she called out again Blaine came walking out of the family room. "Blaine, by chance do you know where everyone is?" He could tell from the look on her face that she was definitely flustered so he took her by her hand and led her over to a little loveseat in the hall.

"Cooper went out for a run and Sebastian had some errands to run."

"Errands…today of all days. Couldn't he do them yesterday?" As much as he wanted to tell her exactly where Sebastian was he couldn't as the surprise was going to be more than worth it. "This is something he could only do today. But don't worry; he should be back in about an hour." Lexi then took a deep breath.

"Sorry, if I freaked out a bit it's just…"

"No need to explain. You're getting married today; you're allowed to be a little high strung."

"He's right." They both looked up to see Cassie and Tasha standing before them, dresses and bags in hand. "If you don't mind we're gonna take her off your hands Blaine." Blaine looked at them and smiled before looking at Lexi.

"If you need anything don't hesitate to ask." She smiled before giving him a hug before following her friends to her room.

Just as he had said about an hour later Sebastian returned. Blaine couldn't help laugh as he saw him peak his head through the front door. "Don't worry the coast is clear. She's up in her room with Cassie and Tasha." Sebastian then opened the door completely and in they walked.

"Blaine, I'd like you to meet our Dad. Dad, Blaine Anderson."

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mr. Smythe." He said as he extended his hand to Mr. Smythe who gladly took it.

"It's nice to finally meet you as well Blaine. I've heard a lot about you from both my children." As they were talking, a sweaty Cooper came walking through the door. "Cooper."

"M…Mr. Smythe." Cooper was about to move closer for a hug when Mr. Smythe stepped back.

"Why don't I take you up on that hug after you shower?" Cooper then looked down at himself and laughed.

"Probably a good idea. I didn't know you were coming."

"No one did except for Sebastian here. I couldn't let my baby girl go down the aisle alone."

"She wasn't going to be Dad; I was going to escort her." A proud smile came across the elder Smythe's face.

"I should've known. Now if you all don't mind I'm going to go surprise my daughter." As he reached for his bag Sebastian told him he'd take care of it.

After talking a bit more Cooper went to shower leaving Sebastian and Blaine in the foyer. "Thanks for covering for me."

"Anytime. Oh and Wes said the guys are all good to go. They're going to take it easy today."

"Good. And Cassie took care of everything for us in regards to the reception."

"How did your sister not notice an additional thirteen seats?"

"Easy, Cooper had them added after she left. Cassie had told the woman handling the arrangements to expect his call. Did you tell him about your Dad?"

"No, I just added a couple of extras to balance out the tables."

It was amazing how quickly the rest of the day went as before they knew it was time to leave for the church. "You ready to do this Coop?" Blaine asked while giving Cooper's tie one last fix.

"Absolutely. Do you have the rings?" In response Blaine tapped his pocket. "Guess we should get going so Lexi can get those last minute pictures in the house."

When they reached the foyer Sebastian was waiting for them. "Lookin' good guys. Guess I'll next see you at the church." He then leaned in to give Blaine a kiss which took on a life of its own. It wasn't till Cooper cleared his throat did it stop. "Save me a dance tonight."

"I think that can be arranged."

No sooner did the Anderson brothers leave did Lexi make her way down the stairs escorted by her Dad. "You look beautiful Lexi. You're going to take Cooper's breath away."

"I told her the same thing." Mr. Smythe said proudly as they finished their way down the stairs.

When they arrived at the church Cooper and Blaine had an unexpected surprise as there stood their parents out front. After hugs were exchanged it took everything Mrs. Anderson had to not start crying. "You both look amazing. I'm so proud of you both." This was one of those rare times where each of the Anderson boys were at a loss of words. As they made their way inside the church Blaine was surprised to see his friends standing there. After excusing himself from his parents and Cooper, Blaine approached them.

"What are you guys doing here? I didn't think we were going to see you till the reception."

"Cooper called and told us to come." Wes replied. "I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all. It'll be nice to see some familiar faces besides family. As much as I'd like to talk I need to go and hide Coop away so Lexi can arrive." But instead of Blaine leaving, his friends followed him over to his family to say hello and congratulate Cooper one last time before taking their seats. After the Warblers went to take their seats Blaine's parents looked at him.

"Why are the Warblers here?"

"You'll find out soon enough." Blaine replied with a smile before ushering his brother away. As they watched the church fill Blaine got a text. "They're out front. It won't be long now." He then looked over at Cooper who for the first time looked truly nervous. "You're going to be fine Coop."

After helping Lexi into the church Sebastian was going to go and take his seat. "And just where do you think you're going?" Lexi asked as she took ahold of his arm.

"To go sit down."

"I don't think so."

"Dad's here, I'm not needed anymore."

"I'd like you both to walk me down the aisle. That is if you still want to Bas?" Sebastian looked over at his Dad not wanting to over step his bounds.

"I don't have a problem with it Seb. It's her and Cooper's day so I think it's best if we do what they want."

"I love you both so much."

Blaine couldn't help the smile that came to his face when he saw his brother's reaction as Lexi made her way down the aisle. He was absolutely mesmerized. They both looked on as Sebastian gave her a kiss on the cheek before taking his seat and letting their Dad take her the rest of the way. If it wasn't for all the eyes on them Blaine was almost certain he would've started crying as they exchanged their vows.

Once the ceremony was over Blaine and Sebastian were able to get away from their families just long enough to check in with the guys before they headed off. Wes calmly assured the two of them that everything was under control so they didn't need to worry. After seeing their friends off they returned to the front of the church where Cooper and Lexi were just finishing up the pictures of just them before everyone else was needed.

"And just where were you?" Blaine's mom asked as he and Sebastian approached.

"Just taking care of some details for the reception. Best man duties you know." Blaine winked at his Mom. "Mom. Dad. You remember Sebastian."

"It's nice to see you again." His Mom's words caught Sebastian off guard.

"Relax man, everything's good. Honest." Blaine saw Sebastian release a breath that he wasn't quite sure he knew he was holding. Just then Mr. Smythe approached them and the boys made the introductions. All the parents kept looking at the boys to the point they both felt a bit uneasy. "What is it?"

"Do you have something to tell us?" Mr. Anderson asked. The two boys just looked at each other.

"Cooper."

"Lexi."

"So which one of you is going to speak?" Neither of the Dads could quite believe how quiet both of them were.

"Leave them alone." Mrs. Anderson finally said with a smile realizing the men were having a bit too much fun making the boys squirm. The two Dads started to laugh as they finally saw the boys relax. Before anything else could be said Blaine was called away by the photographer. After what felt like forever they were finally all done with pictures.

When they finally arrived at the reception Blaine started to panic a bit. "Forget something killer?" Sebastian whispered into his ear as he snuck up behind him. Blaine turned around to face him.

"I can't find my speech." Sebastian then reached into his tux jacket and pulled out a folded up piece of paper.

"Aren't you glad I checked the library after you and Cooper left?"

"Thank you SO much." He then placed his hands on either side of Sebastian's face and gave him a kiss. "I don't know what I would've done without this."

"I'm sure you would've come up with something." Just then Cassie tapped them both on the shoulder.

"Excuse me boys. Seb, would you be willing to escort Tasha in?"

"Where's Jay?

"Taking care of his wife. Her "morning sickness" is kicking her ass."

"Sure."

"Great. Just sit at the table with us as he's going to sit with her. We've already moved the necessary people." She'd asked just in time as they were all being corralled by the hostess.

For a so called sophisticated bunch they were all ready to party by the way they reacted to the bridal party introductions. Shortly after everyone was settled the DJ approached the table and handed Blaine a microphone. After sharing looks with his brother and Lexi, Blaine gave a very heartfelt and emotional speech that brought tears to quite a few people besides the bride and groom. Once he was done Cassie looked over at him. "You're a tough act to follow Blaine." She then proceeded to give her speech with was just as heartfelt but with some laughs added.

Just as they were finishing up dinner Cooper turned to Blaine. "You guys get to do your thing after all the formalities. I already spoke with the DJ."

After Cooper finished his dance with his Mom, he took Lexi's hand and guided her over towards their parents. "What are you doing Coop? I want to dance."

"Just wait." And kissed her. She then watched as their DJ walked onto the floor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, before we open up the dance floor there's one more thing to be done. Sebastian. Blaine. The floor is yours." When they walked onto the dance floor both had taken off their jackets so their vests were visible.

"Cooper?"

"Hi everyone!" Sebastian said into the mic. "You'll all be able to get your dance on soon. But first Blaine and I would like to perform something for Lexi and Cooper." Lexi wanted to go to them but Cooper held her back, wrapping his arms around her and bringing her against his chest. "If a path to the dance floor could be made as we need some of our friends to give us a hand." She then watched as what she realized were the Warblers joining Blaine and Sebastian on the dance floor. "We love you both." Sebastian then walked over to the DJ to return the mic.

As the music started Cooper did a double take as this wasn't the song he'd seen them do numerous times. The Warblers harmonies filled the room and Lexi and Cooper's eyes grew wide. Sebastian started "Haven't Met You Yet", but soon Blaine came in, taking the second verse. Lexi's eyes traveled the dance floor watching the boys in action. They switched verses and joined together so frequently it just blew her away. And that's before the rest of the Warblers joined in fully on the chorus. By the end of the performance she was in awe as was everyone else.

The boys had barely finished when Lexi was pulling Cooper onto the dance floor. To say that they were able to pull off their surprise was an understatement. "Oh my…you were all amazing!" Lexi told the boys as the Warblers surrounded her and Cooper. "I've got so many questions, but they can wait till later. I can't believe you guys did this for us."

"Like Bas said, we love you."

"And we love them." Thad added.

"You guys were great but that SO wasn't what I was expecting." Cooper told them.

"What do you mean Coop?" Lexi asked her eyes wide.

"Guys…help."

"Cooper caught us practicing…but not this song." Sebastian told his sister.

"Wait…you've got another one?" By this point she was smiling ear to ear. With the smiles on all of the boys' faces she knew they did. "I'd love to see it as I'm sure everyone else would as well considering their reactions. But it's up to you."

"Guys?" Blaine looked around the group. The adrenaline of performing was definitely there, especially since they knew they did well. "Just let Bas and I get some water first." Lexi then jumped up in excitement. They were just about to walk away when Lexi took ahold of Sebastian's arm and gently pulled him close. "You were right about his voice."

The second number went off without a hitch. Since it wasn't as serious as the first number they were definitely having fun with it. Their energy and enthusiasm definitely showed in their dancing and vocals. Nick, Jeff and Thad more than enjoyed their time in the spotlight as Blaine and Sebastian had given them parts of their own. By the time they finished they definitely had a bunch of new fans. With the energy the crowd had the DJ kept things going once the boys finished. Blaine and Sebastian couldn't help smile as they watched their friends on the dance floor along with everyone else.

This was a reception that most wouldn't soon forget. Sebastian was pretty sure his sister wasn't going to be able to walk the next day as she was on the dance floor all night. And he was pretty sure she managed to dance with each of the Warblers. As the DJ called last song of the night Blaine walked up behind Sebastian who was sitting on a chair while talking to Jay. "May I have this last dance?" Sebastian couldn't help the smile that came to his face. Even though they had danced numerous times throughout the night there was something sweet about the way Blaine asked him.

After saying their goodbyes to all their family Blaine and Sebastian grabbed their jackets off the chair. And as if they'd been doing it forever, slid their hands into the others, interlacing their fingers. Lexi came up to them and gave them each one last kiss and thanked them again. As they made their way out of the room both were looking forward to just going home to relax. "Bas, didn't it seem weird that the guys left a little early?"

"A bit. I thought for sure they'd close the night out."

On the cab ride back to the house neither said much as they just leaned against the other. Neither missing out that glances the other would give to their intertwined hands. As they walked into the house Sebastian was just about to kiss Blaine when the house erupted with sound. "We were wondering when you two were going to make it back." Wes said as he flicked on a light switch.

"What are you all doing here?" Sebastian asked as he and Blaine turned to face their friends.

"Cooper and Lexi thought after all our hard work this week we deserved to spend our last bit of time all together." Dave replied.

"What about your stuff?" Blaine asked.

"They had it brought over while we were at the reception. So you're stuck with us till we leave Sunday. Hope we're not ruining whatever plans you two had for tonight." Nick said with a devilish smirk near the end.

"Why would having you guys around change anything? Sebastian said before wrapping his arms around Blaine and dipping him while giving him a kiss. When he finally brought them both upright their breathing was ragged and their eyes glazed over. "Have you guys all found places to sleep yet?" Sebastian asked he and Blaine walked closer to their friends.

"It's one of the reasons we were waiting for you." Jeff replied with a yawn.

Knowing which rooms were made up they figured out where to put everyone. "Are you sure you don't mind giving up your room to Nick and Jeff?" Sebastian asked after Blaine grabbed some clothes out of his room.

"Of course not. Plus it's not like we haven't shared the same bed the last few nights anyhow."

"I know…I just don't want you to think that I'm trying to…" Sebastian started to stumble over his words which Blaine thought was absolutely adorable.

"I know you're not." He then gave him a short, yet sweet kiss on the lips. "Now let's get changed before the guys send out a search party.

The long week had caught up with all of them as there was practically no movement in the house till about ten when just about everyone got up.

"Morning Seb! Where's Blaine?" Dave said as he passed Sebastian a cup of coffee.

"Still sleeping. I think the events of this week finally caught up with him, why?"

"It's probably a good thing." Trent replied.

"What now?" Sebastian asked, clearly perturbed.

"Before we tell you, when are you and Blaine coming back home?" Thad asked.

"Late Sunday night. Why?"

"A few of us are going to go to Blaine's Monday morning."

"Again, why?"

"To help him get all his stuff to Dalton." Not completely buying the explanation Sebastian just looked at their friends. "Okay, maybe we want to get him back to Dalton as soon as possible. It's safer that way." Wes then handed the laptop to Sebastian.

"He's delusional."

"We know. That's why we've stopped screwing around with him. Are you going to your house after you get home or are you staying with Blaine?" Nick asked as he played with his coffee cup.

"I was going to stay with him. We decided it would be too late by the time we got back for me to drive all the way home after dropping him off."

"That's a smart decision for more than one reason."

It was about a half hour later when Blaine finally made his way down to the kitchen. He still looked exhausted, so much so that no one quite knew why he was up. He just sat down next to Sebastian and curled up next to him. Sebastian turned to kiss the top of his head. "You should still be in bed."

"I know, but my phone started going off. I couldn't find it so I just left the room." Sebastian then handed his cup of coffee to Blaine who gladly took it. "So what have you guys all been talking about this morning?"

"A bunch of us are going to come to your place Monday to help you get everything to Dalton."

"Cool. What else?" The silence in the room was almost deafening. "I know something else is going on, it's written all over your faces. I might be tired but I'm not blind." The guys then filled Blaine in on everything. "He can try all he wants, but I'm not going back to him." He then moved a bit closer to Sebastian who wrapped his arm around him.

"What do you guys want to do today?" Sebastian asked wanting the conversation to take a positive turn."

"We'd like to see some of the city. We've been here a week and haven't really seen much." Jeff replied.

"How's that sound to you B?" Blaine nodded against Sebastian's chest. "Why don't we all get ready then? If we're out the door by noon we'll be able to see quite a bit."

The weekend went way too quick for all of them as before they knew it Blaine and Sebastian were sending their friends on their way. "We'll see you guys tomorrow morning." Thad said before getting in the van.

"Are sure you're ready for this?" Sebastian asked as they walked back into the house.

"I think so, but it's hard to be ready when you don't really know what to expect." The next thing Blaine felt was Sebastian's arms wrap around him almost protectively.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to you B."

"I know." He replied as he relaxed into Sebastian's body. "How much time do we have before we need to leave?"

"About five hours, why? What do you have in mind?" There was a mischievous sound to Sebastian's voice. Blaine looked up at him and couldn't help smile as he had quite the sexy grin on his face.

"You keep looking at me like that and who knows." The playfulness in Blaine's voice made Sebastian's heart flutter.

"In all seriousness though, what were you thinking?"

"This might sound lame, but I just want to go upstairs and cuddle on the couch. Enjoy what could be some of the last peace and quiet we'll have for a while. And maybe, just maybe make out with my gorgeous boyfriend."

"Works for me. And I must say, he's one lucky guy to have someone like you." Sebastian released his hold on Blaine but took a hold of his hand.

"We're both lucky."

As they got settled into their seats on the plane Blaine looked over at Sebastian. "Sorry about that."

"Don't be, it doesn't bother me. It's not like the guys are going to have to wonder who it's from." Blaine blushed slightly as he looked over at Sebastian again, seeing the mark on his neck sticking out from under his collar. "Personally, I didn't think you had it in you." He then slid his hand into Blaine's.

"That could just be the first of many surprises." There was a definite suggestive tone in Blaine's voice that cut right through Sebastian.

"Can't wait." From Blaine's demeanor one would figure he was sweet and tender. But after their little make out session earlier in the day Sebastian now knew there was definitely a wild side to Blaine.

As they loaded their bags into Sebastian's car Blaine couldn't help wonder. "Please tell me your car hasn't been here all summer."

"It hasn't been. Wes drove it over. Now get that sweet ass of yours into the car Mr. Anderson."

"Absolutely Mr. Smythe."

The drive to Blaine's house went by relatively quickly as they talked the entire way. His street was quiet, especially with how late it was along with it being Sunday, well actually early Monday. They were so thankful to be there that neither of them noticed what should've been a familiar car parked a couple of houses away.

After getting everything into the house they took a seat on the stairs. "Please tell me this week is going to be quiet." Sebastian said as he leaned against Blaine, apparently more tired than he thought. Blaine looked down at his watch.

"After today, the rest of the week should be." He then kissed the top of Sebastian's head. "Do you want something to drink?" Sebastian nodded and sat up enough so that Blaine could get up. It wasn't long after Blaine left that the doorbell rang. "Can you get that Bas? Might be one of the guys?" Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and went to answer the door.

He barely had the door open when he heard Blaine's name in a high pitched voice, before moving to the door opening. Kurt looked up at Sebastian in disbelief as he blocked his way. "Think you're going somewhere?"

"What are you doing here? I want to see Blaine."

"Well, he doesn't want to see you. I think you should go."

"BLAINE!"

"I said he doesn't want to see you, Hummel. So take the hint and leave." When Sebastian spoke his tone was rather harsh. It was as though just seeing Kurt flipped a switch inside his head.

"BLAINE! Come to the door Blaine! BLAINE!"

"What part of he doesn't want to see you don't you understand?" As he spoke Sebastian got a bit closer to Kurt. When he started to back away is when Kurt saw the mark on his neck.

"What have you done to him?" By this point Sebastian was really hoping Blaine would appear soon as his patience was shot given how tired he was.

"Nothing…yet." The next thing Sebastian felt was a smack across his face.

"You bastard!"
