Part 20
When Sebastian walked into the kitchen on Saturday morning, the last thing he expected was to find Quinn sitting at the table. "Shouldn't you still be sleeping?" He asked as he took cups out of the cabinet for coffee. "I mean, it's not like you girls went to bed early."
"Were we that loud?" Quinn asked as she sat up a bit.
"Let's just say when the four of you get together, you're not quiet."
"I'm sorry. And Seb, please don't tell Britt. More than once she said we needed to quiet down yet the rest of us didn't think we were loud."
"For that, B and I should make her breakfast and let the rest of you fend for yourselves. And who the hell knew the four of you were so open about your lives. Ugh, B and I heard things about Brody, Nick, Jeff, and Hunter that we never wanted to know. I mean, the only good part about all that was finding out you're all sexually satisfied and it seems to be in every possible way."
"Who knew you'd get bothered by talk about sex?"
"I'm not bothered about it, when I'm part of the conversations. What you four forgot was that there were two guys down the hall. And regardless of whether or not B and I are gay or not, we don't need to know those things about our friends."
"Really, I'm sorry. Guess we all had more to drink than we thought at the rehearsal."
"You four drank up a storm. But it didn't help with all the toasts that were being made."
"You and Blaine weren't tipsy."
"That's because we started to sip our drinks. We knew if you four got blitzed someone had to be sober to get you all back together. The last thing any of you would've wanted is to look hungover and Rachel would've been livid. Why do you think B and I fed you all again and gave you lots of water to drink once we got home."
"That's true. You and Blaine are too good to us."
"We know." Sebastian replied with a smirk. "So, when did you tell the girls about you and Hunter?"
"When you and Blaine were in the Caymans. They basically cornered me and I didn't deny it."
"Did you tell Hunter?"
"I did. He's impressed that they've been so quiet about it. Though, we haven't really given them a chance to talk about it. And last night wasn't the time. I mean, Rachel noticed we walked out hand and hand, but that was it."
"I'm glad they know. The two of you have been together long enough that it's time everyone knows. I mean, B and I have kept quiet for a long time, as has Thad."
"You have and Hunter and I appreciate it. But you had to know how unsure we were when we started."
"I know. But as I told him then, I wasn't surprised at all as you two understand each other. He needs someone strong enough to call him out and well, you need someone to do the same. I love you, but you can be a bitch."
"I know. I can tell you, we're not going to hide that we're a couple anymore."
"I'm glad. Now if you don't mind, I need to go give B his coffee, otherwise he gets cranky. And you ladies wouldn't be able to handle a cranky B." Sebastian was about halfway out the door when he stopped. "So you know, B and I are cooking breakfast for all of you so don't eat too much." He said as he glanced at the plate of cookies in front of her.
"Noted. I will pass that along to the girls when they get up if you and Blaine aren't around."
When Sebastian walked back into their bedroom, he set their cups on the dresser before closing the door behind him. After picking the cups back up he sat down on their bed beside Blaine. "Time to wake up killer. I brought coffee." Without even touching him, Blaine carefully rolled over.
"You weren't gone long." He replied groggily as he pushed himself up into a sitting position. Once he'd done so, he took his cup from Sebastian.
"Yea, Quinn was already up and made coffee. You sleep okay?" As he spoke, Sebastian ran his empty hand through Blaine's errant curls. "You were tossing and turning quite a bit which is unusual for you."
"I'm nervous."
"About?"
"My speech."
"B, you'll be fine. You've done this before when Coop got married and you had less time to prepare. Plus, you spoke at Wes's wedding, you'll be fine." Blaine then leaned forward and rested his head on Sebastian's shoulder. "What is it B?" When Blaine didn't answer, Sebastian set his cup down before taking Blaine's from him and doing the same. Once the cups were out of the way, Sebastian wrapped his arms around him. "Everything is going to be fine B."
"How can you say that?"
"I'm taking a page out of your book and having faith. And I'm pretty sure I know what else is on your mind and I say forget it."
"Bas."
"B, nothing is going to happen." When Blaine looked up at Sebastian, he couldn't help but smile as there was such a look of confidence on Sebastian's face it was impossible not to believe him. "Good, you're smiling."
"And if I wasn't?"
"I was going to do whatever it took to put a smile on that face of yours and I don't care that the girls are here, especially after what we had to listen to last night. By the way, Quinn apologized. They had no idea we could hear them."
"I wish we couldn't." As Blaine answered there was a genuine smile on his face. "But, I wouldn't object to having a bit of fun this morning."
"Is that so?"
"Very much so."
"Considering the talk I just had with Quinn, we'd need to be quiet."
"We can do that."
"While your sex drive has never been lacking B, it's been running on overdrive lately."
"Yea, I know." Blaine replied with a soft laugh. "Is that a problem?"
"No, as I've felt the same way."
"Now, I know this isn't something you like to hear, but…Coop said after he got engaged he felt euphoric for quite awhile afterwards."
"And you're saying our heightened sex drives might be part of the euphoric feeling we're having from getting engaged?"
"It's highly plausible. I mean, timing works out. Plus, we've had stretches like this in the past so it's not something new." While Blaine spoke he made his way onto Sebastian's lap. "So, are you game?"
"Absolutely."
By the time they appeared, only Brittany was up with Quinn. "Morning Blaine. Morning Sebby."
"Morning Britt!" Blaine said as he and Sebastian walked up behind the couch and Sebastian leaned over and kissed the top of Brittany's head. "Morning Quinn."
"Morning."
"Did you ladies sleep well?"
"We did." Quinn replied. "And as I told Seb…"
"He told me, thank you. Are you ladies hungry?"
"I am." Brittany replied.
"Well then, considering the time, why don't you two wake up the other two while B and I start breakfast? Isn't your "day of beauty" to begin in an hour or so."
"You're right, it is." Quinn said. "Britt, you wake Santana, I'll wake Rach."
When the girls finally came into the kitchen, breakfast almost ready. "You guys really didn't have to go through all this trouble." Rachel said as she sat down. "You've already done too much."
"Well, we would've been cooking regardless of whether you four were here or not." Sebastian said as he poured juice for the four of them. "So, B and I only have to make a little more."
"Bas is right. And considering we're all basically going to be on the go all day and not eating till late a good breakfast is important." Blaine added.
"When are you leaving Sebby?"
"Only a couple of hours before you ladies will be. It doesn't take us guys as long to get ready. So, you guys are stuck with me as well."
"We're not stuck, we like having you around." Brittany replied. "Plus it's good for Blaine to have another guy around."
"Here's a big question, are you guys going to take part?" Santana asked.
"In what?" Blaine asked as he and Sebastian served the girls before the two of them sat down as well.
"Our day of beauty. Personally, I think you guys should get mani/pedis as well."
"It wouldn't be the first time either of us did that." Blaine said. "Heck, I think all of the guys have had that done as well."
"He's got a point, I think they all have." Quinn said. "So back to Santana's question, are you going to join us?"
"Sure, why not." Sebastian replied. "But it stops there as B and I are going to do our own hair." All of the girls started to laugh.
By the time the girls' glam squad showed up, Blaine and Sebastian were trying to stay out of the way except when they were needed. "Are you sure you're going to be alright once I leave B, things are a little crazy around here?" Sebastian asked as he started to get dressed in their room.
"I'll be fine. The four of them are in their own little world. Plus, Rachel's Dads will be here soon."
"Yea, probably best if I leave then." Sebastian said as he walked over to their dresser to grab his cufflinks.
"Bas…"
"Come on B, that was embarrassing. Normally I wouldn't care, but I only wore those pants knowing the affect they have on you. And well, walking out wearing them with no shirt on, I don't even want to know what thoughts went through their heads."
"Relax Bas; they were as startled as you were. They didn't treat us any different when we all went out to dinner. At least they're fashionable. It's not like you came out wearing something that looked like it came out of a porn flick."
"We don't own anything like that B."
"Exactly."
"When are you going to get dressed?"
"Soon. I'll probably get dressed after you leave once I make sure the girls are good to go." Sebastian then leaned down and gave Blaine a kiss. "What was that for?"
"I wanted too. Care to do me a favor?"
"What?"
"Do my tie for me. While I can do it and have gotten better at it, you still tie a better bowtie than I do."
"Who's helping the rest of the guys?" Blaine asked as Sebastian sat down on the bed so he could do his tie.
"Luke can tie them as can Hunter."
"While I know why I'm wearing a real bowtie, why are the rest of you?" Blaine asked after stepping away from him.
"Because Rachel likes the way they look versus the other ones. I mean, she's right, they do look better." As he answered, Sebastian got up off the bed. "Thank you."
"You look stunning as usual."
"I'm sure you will look stunning as well. Sadly, I'll have to wait to see you." In that moment Sebastian's phone went off. "I need to get going B."
"Alright, I'll walk you out." As they walked out of the room, the girls were all sitting on the couch.
"Looking good Seb." Santana said as they rounded the corner.
"Thank you. I can't wait to see the rest of you as I'm sure you'll look amazing. Rach, any message for the groom to be?"
"Just tell him I love him and I can't wait to see him."
"Will do."
After seeing Sebastian off, Blaine walked back into the room. "You okay Blaine?" Brittany asked.
"Yea, why?"
"You have a lovelorn look in your eyes." Quinn said. "It's rather sweet."
"What can I say?" Blaine replied as a slight blush came to his cheeks. "Bas is right, you all look great already. But, we should probably all get dresses as your Dads will be here soon Rach and I know you wanted to be ready before they arrived."
"You're right, I do." As Rachel answered the girls all came walking towards Blaine. The girls all gave Blaine a kiss on the cheek before heading to the rooms they'd stayed in the night before. Once Blaine walked Rachel to her room she took ahold of his hand. "I know I've said this already, but thank you."
"You are very welcome. We'll be here soon to help you."
Once the guys all arrived at the venue, Brody took a walk around to make sure everything was set up the way they wanted. "You okay?" Sebastian asked.
"Yea. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm a bit nervous but it's nothing bad. I just wanted to make sure things are the way Rachel wanted them."
"Are they?"
"They are from what I can tell. How was she before you left?" While the two talked, they continued to walk around as they waited for the photographer.
"She was having fun. I can tell you, she can't wait to see you. By the way, I'm supposed to tell you that she loves you as well."
"That's good to know." Brody said with a smile. "Wouldn't want to be getting married if that wasn't the case."
"True, but…"
"I get it. Bad joke."
"You are nervous." Sebastian said with a laugh.
"Yes, but I told you that. I've just wanted it for so long but didn't want to do it till I knew I could take care of her."
"That's one of the reasons you became a choreographer instead of staying a dancer."
"I always wanted to be a choreographer, this just sped things up. Honestly, it was the right move as I found my niche and couldn't be happier. It's not much different from what you and Blaine did, or Jeff."
"That's very true." Sebastian replied. "All of us just wanted to be in a good place when we made this sort of commitment to each other."
"While I wasn't given much of an opportunity that night or afterwards, I'm really happy for you and Blaine."
"Thank you."
The guys were just finishing up their pictures when the limo with the girls and Blaine pulled up. "They look really good." Brittany said as they all looked out the windows. "Take a look Rach, he can't see you." Rachel turned and looked out the window at Brody surrounded by all the guys.
"You're right, they do. Are you sure no one will see us while we're taking pictures?"
"According to the sight coordinator no one will see us, at least your guests won't." Blaine told her. "But people in the park obviously will."
"That's okay, as I don't want to surprise them."
Once they guys headed inside, the ushers came walking over to the limo. As the door opened, Beat stuck his head in. "Don't you all look lovely."
"Awww, I'm touch." Blaine replied with a laugh.
"Smartass."
"Would you expect otherwise." Blaine said as the guys helped the girls out. He was the last one out as he wanted to make sure Rachel's gown didn't catch on anything. Once he got out he looked at the guys. "How is the groom?"
"Anxious." Hunter replied as they all headed over to the park for pictures. "He can't wait to marry you Rach." As he spoke, Rachel's smiled got bigger if that was even possible.
"See, we told you he was as anxious as you were." Santana told her. "How long will we be graced by your presence?"
"We need to leave once we get you all settles since the guests will be arriving soon." Beat replied. "But your Dads are already here Rach and have agreed to help escort you all back should help be needed."
"We should be fine." Quinn replied. "Thankfully it hasn't rained recently so the ground is solid." After they were all settled, they all got to see something they thought they wouldn't see as Quinn gave Hunter a kiss before the guys walked away.
"Awww, a public display." Rachel said with a smile. "What changed?"
"We felt it was time." Quinn replied.
After the ushers made their way inside, Sebastian walked up to them. "How are they?"
"Excited and they all look great." Beat replied. "And your fiancé is a smartass." When a smile crept to Sebastian's face, Beat shook his head. "Why am I not surprised you'd be happy with that assessment."
"Because my B doesn't always show his smartass side to others so you must've said something to prompt him."
"He opened the door and told them they all looked lovely." Hunter told him and all Sebastian could do was laugh. "Now, what do you want us to do?"
"Make sure that idiot is seated nowhere close to B's parents or Cooper, Lexi, and the kids."
"I thought you were okay with him being here?" Beat asked.
"B and I are, yet we know how everyone else feels about him."
"Do they know he's going to be here?" Hunter asked.
"They do, but that doesn't mean they need to sit near him."
"Don't worry; we'll make sure he stays far away from them." Beat reassured him.
As the guests began to arrive, Beat and Hunter were clearly keeping a look out and made sure that both of them weren't gone from the entrance at the same time. Thankfully, Rachel and Brody's guest list allowed them to sit people almost anywhere since more were friends of the both of them. When Mike came walking in with Tina, Beat and Hunter exchanged glances. "Tina, you remember Beat, don't you?"
"I do. Long time no see."
"You could say that." Beat replied as the last time she'd seen her was when they'd all graduated from Dalton.
"And this is Hunter Clarington."
"Pleasure to meet you." Hunter said as he extended his hand. "Let me show you two to your seats." As they walked down the aisle, Hunter sat them next to a bunch of others from McKinley. "I figured you'd like to sit with people you know."
"Thanks." Mike replied with a smile and then glanced to the other side where Nick and Jeff were seated. "I know them as well."
"We're just trying to balance things out." Hunter replied. "And keep the peace."
"You guys are going to owe me for this."
"I'll buy you a drink at the reception."
"Wait, this thing doesn't have an open bar?" Puck said catching part of the conversation.
"It was a figure of speech." Hunter replied with a shake of his head. "Good luck." As Hunter walked away, he just shook his head. "This is going to be an interesting night." When he reached the end of the aisle, Beat was making his way down with Blaine's parents. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson gave him a smile as they passed each other.
When Kurt arrived, Hunter and Beat were thrilled that almost everyone else seemed to have arrived so keeping him away from Blaine's family wasn't going to be an issue. It also helped that Beat had put Blaine's parents on the groom's side to help keep a bit of a buffer. While they all hoped little things like this weren't necessary, all of them felt it was better safe than sorry.
With a bit of smooth talking, Blaine convinced Rachel's Dads to give him a minute with her before they all proceeded down the aisle. "You okay?" Blaine asked.
"Yes and thank you."
"For?"
"They were getting to be a bit much. I needed this little bit of quiet with you. Do you have everything?" Blaine tapped his jacket pocket.
"You've got a full house."
"That's what Brittany said when she came back from taking a look. Are we starting soon?"
"Yes. We're just waiting for them to bring the guys out. And according to Bas, Brody can't wait to do this part of it."
"When did you see Seb since we signed the Ketuba?"
"What can I say, we're sneaky." Blaine said with a smile before giving Rachel a kiss on the cheek. In that moment, the music changed. "Ready to become Mrs. Brody Weston?"
"Absolutely." With that said, they all got into position and waited for the coordinator to give them the go ahead to proceed.
"Are you sure you don't want a bouquet Blaine?" Santana asked with a laugh. "I'm sure Rachel would let you use the toss bouquet."
"No, I'm good. But I appreciate the thought. And ladies, you all look incredible."
"You look amazing as well." Quinn said.
"She's right you do" Brittany added.
"Thank you ladies. Let's do this."
Quinn was the first one to make her way down the aisle, followed then by Santana and Brittany. When Blaine made his way down, it took everything he had not to start to laugh as this was definitely a different experience. Plus, his appearance clearly caught a few people off-guard. "What is Blaine doing walking down the aisle?" Finn asked quietly.
"He's Rachel's man of honor." Mike replied. "I thought she would've told you."
Once Blaine took his spot next to the girls, he glanced over at Sebastian who had quite the grin on his face. The look didn't last long as the music changed and Rachel made her way down the aisle escorted by her Dads. Since Brody hadn't converted, the two of them had a lovely joint ceremony which included the important aspects for each of them. When Blaine handed Rachel Brody's ring, she was absolutely beaming in that moment as was he.
After Brody broke the glass, it took a bit for their guests to settle down. But judging from the smiles on Rachel and Brody's faces they were completely oblivious to everything that was going on around them. In that moment, the two of them were the only thing that mattered. If it wasn't for a nudge from Blaine and Luke, they probably would've stayed under the Chuppah longer than they had. Once they made their way up the aisle, Blaine and Luke smiled and followed behind.
During the walk up the aisle, Blaine took in all of the guests and laughed when he realized his family was sitting on the groom's side. "What's so funny?" Luke asked quietly.
"Let's just say, I have some great friends."
Since they were the first to the back, they were the first to congratulate the happy couple. By the time the rest of the wedding party joined them it was almost impossible to reach Rachel and Brody. As the ushers began slowly letting everyone out so the wedding party had a chance to move to a separate room, it gave people time to talk. "Mike, do you have something to tell us." Mercedes said as she turned to look behind her.
"What could I possibly have to tell you?"
"Oh, like the fact that Blaine and Sebastian got married."
"Excuse me!" Kurt stated causing quite a few eyes to focus on him.
Before Mike could answer, Hunter appeared at the end of their row of seats and motioned for them to leave. "What was that?" Hunter asked once Mike was next to them.
"Mercedes spotted Blaine and Seb's rings and basically announced that they got married."
"Fuck!" Hunter muttered under his breath.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Tell the guys when you get to the back; I still have work to do."
Not surprisingly considering Kurt's earlier reaction, when Mike made it to the back Blaine's parents along with Cooper, Lexi, and the kids were surrounded by the Warblers. "Would you all excuse me for a minute?" After Mike spoke, he gave Tina a kiss on the cheek and walked over to where the guys were. "I take it you guys heard."
"We heard a reaction but we don't know what it was about." Thad said. "Care to fill us in."
"Mercedes was super observant and spotted the guys rings and that was Kurt's reaction. They think they got married."
"You didn't correct them?" Jeff asked.
"I didn't get the chance as Hunter appeared. But you should know I don't think you need to be worried."
"Why?" Nick asked.
"It was more about the fact that they got married and didn't tell than the act itself if that makes sense."
"Regardless, Blaine and Seb need to know as they were already back here by the time it happened." Dave said.
"I wouldn't be surprised if Hunter is going to tell them as I don't see him and the seats are empty." Jeff stated.
"Guys, what's going on? Cooper asked as he adjusted Ethan in his arms.
"We've got this." Nick said.
"If it involves Blaine or Seb or both, I want to know."
"Everyone from McKinley was told about their rings." Mike said. "One of the girls spotted them and said something to everyone."
"That's fine; Blaine and Seb figured it wouldn't be long till people noticed."
"But they think they got married." Thad added.
"Not surprising, they just need to be told what's going on. Mike, get the correct information out. The last thing either of them need is to get bombarded today of all days. Today should be about Rachel and Brody."
"Got it." Mike replied before walking away to find everyone else.
"Anything you want us to do Coop?" Jeff asked.
"This might sound wrong, but keep them away from my parents."
"Deal." Thad said and the others agreed. Spending time talking with Blaine's parents wasn't hard for the guys to do as they truly enjoyed being around the Andersons.
When Mike reached everyone he took a look around. "Where is Kurt?"
"Talking with his Dad and Carole." Tina replied. "Why?"
"Well, I want him to hear what I have to say. Finn, could you go and get him please. I really want you all to have all the facts before anymore assumptions are made."
"Sure man. Just give me a sec." As Finn walked away, Tina took Mike's hand.
"What is it?"
"I'll tell you in a sec."
"You could always tell us and then fill them in." Artie said.
"No, considering what I'm going to say I want you all to hear it at the same time." It took a few minutes, but soon Finn returned with Kurt. "Thank you Finn." Finn smiled and looked at him. "Okay, I want you all to know Mercedes wasn't imagining things, Blaine and Seb are each wearing rings, but…they're not married."
"Then what's with the rings?" Sam asked.
"They got engaged."
"Shouldn't only one of them be wearing one then." Finn said.
"Normally, yes, but they both planned on asking each other. So, once one did it, the other also presented the other with the ring they'd bought."
"So, they only got engaged." Kurt said.
"Yes."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. They only got engaged about a month ago and are currently planning their wedding."
"Could you tell us who did it first?" Tina asked.
"Does it matter since they were both thinking the same thing?"
"Mike's got a point. It doesn't matter since they both obviously had bought rings." Artie said. "And does it really surprise anyone that this happened." All of them shook their heads. "Exactly."
"Uh, you guys might want to leave them alone. They don't like being the center of attention. If you notice, no big announcement has been made and they've been engaged for awhile."
"We can respect that, right guys." Mercedes said.
"Well, if you don't I can name about ten guys that will have something to say about it."
"So, we can't congratulate them?" Tina asked.
"No, you can congratulate them; just don't all go over to them at once. This is Rachel and Brody's moment and the last thing Blaine and Seb would want would be to take away from it."
