Part 29
After they got home from work the evening of their party, Blaine and Sebastian grabbed a quick bite to eat before heading for their bedroom to get ready. "Did you talk to any of the guys today B?" Sebastian asked as he began to undress prior to them going to take a shower.
"I did and Jeff and Beat were both acting funny. You?"
"The same can be said for Thad and Hunter. It's pretty obvious the girls have told them where we're going tonight. And what's with the crazy dress request from the girls? Don't they think we can pick our own wardrobe?"
"You got one of those texts too?" Blaine asked as he tossed his clothes into the hamper. "They were way too specific."
"I was thinking the same thing, but I can't quite figure it out. They normally love whatever we wear." While he spoke, Sebastian closed the space between the two of them. "What do you say we celebrate a little before taking that shower?" Sebastian said as he ran his hands down Blaine's arms. "We've got time."
"You're right, we've got time." Blaine replied before placing a kiss on Sebastian's chest. "But if we lose track of time, we'll be called on it. Remember, Cooper and Lexi are coming to pick us up."
"Is this your way of telling me no?" Sebastian asked as he wrapped his arms around him.
"No, it's not. Just that we can't get carried away which is something we tend to do." The next thing Blaine saw was Sebastian smirk before he backed them up against their bed causing them to tumble onto it. "Not wasting time, are you?" Blaine said as Sebastian began to kiss down his chest.
"Time is precious B, you said so yourself." He replied before going back to what he'd been doing.
True to form, Sebastian was just finishing up his hair when the doorbell rang. So Blaine went to go answer it as he finished buttoning up his shirt. He could've been upset that they cut things so close, but he couldn't be as he and Sebastian had certainly made excellent use of all the time they had. When Blaine opened the door, Cooper and Lexi were looking back at him. As they walked in, Cooper kept his eyes on Blaine. "What?"
"Something is different with you, I just can't place it. Where is Bas?"
"I'm right here." Sebastian replied as he came walking around the corner. "How do I look?"
"Incredible as usual." Lexi replied. "As do you Blaine." While each of the boys thanked her, she glanced up at Cooper who had a smirk on his face.
"Care to tell us where we're going?" Blaine asked as Sebastian took his hand.
"You'll find out soon enough." Cooper told him. "Now come on, your guests are waiting."
Throughout the drive over, Cooper was starting to drive Blaine and Sebastian crazy as he was making all sorts of crazy turns in an attempt to confuse them. When he made the final turn prior to entering the garage, Lexi caught Blaine's expression change as she glanced at Cooper. "Don't you say a word." Lexi told them.
"This is not what we expected." Sebastian told her. "Back to where it all started, huh?"
"That's basically the gist of it." Cooper replied. "We thought it was pretty sweet. They had other ideas, but a few outside circumstances changed the plans."
"Like?" Blaine asked.
"I'm sure the girls will explain if you ask them." Lexi told them. While she continued to talk, Sebastian took his phone out and began scrolling through pictures. After handing the phone to Blaine, the two of them laughed. "What's so funny?"
"The girls requested we wear specific outfits this evening and well, we came darn close to what we wore that night." Sebastian replied. "If we had known, we could've worn the exact outfits since we still have them."
"A slight change is good." Lexi told him. "Though, it'll be fun to put the two pics next to each other after the fact. See just how much the two of you have changed since that moment."
Once they made their way inside, they headed straight up to the VIP section which had been completely closed off for the night. It became clear that Cooper must've texted and told them they were there as every eye was on the doorway when they came walking through. Blaine and Sebastian looked at each other as they couldn't believe all the people they were seeing. The girls literally had included people from each aspect of their lives. "What do you think?" Brittany asked after giving them each a kiss.
"It's perfect." Sebastian told her.
"You're not just saying that, are you?" Santana asked.
"He's not, it really is perfect." Blaine replied. "What gave you this idea?"
"We had other plans, but not all venues would accept some of our twenty year old guests." Santana then glanced over to where Megan and Ally were. "So, the four of us put our heads together and came up with this. We felt it was only fitting we brought you back to where it all began."
"Even though, we've been here numerous times since then." Rachel added.
"Some of us weren't around for that moment." Quinn continued.
"It's perfect like I said." Sebastian reassured them. "Now if you don't mind, B and I have some visiting to do." The girls all gave them a hug and they began making their way through everyone. On a few occasion they heard their friends over the speakers as they were clearly enjoying themselves. "I thought I saw you guys when we arrived." Sebastian said as he and Blaine sat down.
"You did." Nate replied. "Little did I know the last time we saw you that you'd be getting engaged that evening."
"So you heard?"
"We did." John replied. "We asked Santana to fill us in and she was happy to oblige. Silly us thought you two had only gotten engaged before you called and told us."
"Sorry about that." Blaine said. "Please don't take it personally."
"We don't, so don't worry." Dylan told him. "From what we were told you guys kept the whole thing pretty quiet. We don't blame you. We sure wish we did when we first got engaged."
"You loved getting fawned over so don't even go there." Michael told him. "Don't let him fool you; he loved every minute of it."
"We seem to remember that." Sebastian replied. "We're glad you guys could make it, especially you Jenna."
"Thank you." She replied. "I'm just glad you two chose January as we'll have time to adjust."
"We've heard that a few times Sebastian replied. "One of our other friends are about to become parents and another set us due in November."
"Like us." Nate replied.
"Correct. And so you know, children are welcome at the wedding."
"We'll keep that in mind but I'm pretty sure one of the sets of parents won't mind watching him or her." Jenna replied. "Care to share the venue?"
"Nope." Blaine replied. "Again don't take it personally, very few people know. Though, I will tell you we are getting married here in the city."
"I have no doubt it'll be spectacular." Lauren told them. "Anything less wouldn't be you as you both have excellent taste."
"We appreciate that." Sebastian replied. "Now, are any of you going to hit the mic?" While he spoke, Sebastian glanced at Dylan.
"I've already been down. I was actually joined by Dave and Thad."
"Too bad we missed it."
"Are you two going to sing?" Jenna asked.
"Maybe."
"They're going to." Santana said as she came walking up.
"Are we now?" Blaine replied while giving her a quizzical look.
"You are. But Seb's going first."
"Do you have a specific song request?" Sebastian asked.
"I do and it's already been taken care of. So, get that cute butt of yours downstairs."
"Santana."
"Sebastian."
"She looks like she means business." Nate chimed in. "I wouldn't mess with her."
"Smart man." Santana said. "So, up."
"What about me?" Blaine asked.
"You're coming with me. You have to have a front row seat to watch your boy."
"If you'll all excuse us." Sebastian said as he and Blaine stood. "It doesn't seem we have much of a choice right now." He then winked at Santana.
"Of course." Michael replied, as they all knew what Santana had in mind for the two of them. Once the two of them were out of sight, the six of them headed towards the half wall so they could have a good view as well.
When Sebastian walked down the stairs he found Nick waiting for him. "Let me guess, she was afraid I'd change songs."
"Basically." Nick replied. "But once you see what she chose, I doubt you will.
"Why?" No sooner did Nick answer, did the song pop up in the queue. "That's why. Any objections?"
"Not that I can think of." When he replied a smirk came to Sebastian's face. While it was a bit silly, he couldn't wait to sing the song once more. "Go."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. It's truly the perfect choice considering what tonight is." Nick had just started to walk away when Sebastian called out to him. "Tell Santana I approve."
"I will. Knock'em dead."
Once Sebastian took the stage, Santana couldn't help herself and hooked her arm through Blaine's. Shortly after his introduction, those all too familiar chords played and a huge smile crept across Blaine's face as well as a bunch of the guys. An all too familiar rush of emotions washed over Blaine as he watched Sebastian sing the very song that let Blaine know how he felt. Yet this time around, the nerves weren't there and Sebastian's gaze was on Blaine the entire time.
There might have been a time
When I would give myself away
(Ooh) Once upon a time
I didn't give a damn
But now here we are
So whataya want from me
Whataya want from me
"And think, we thought he sung it well all those years ago." Wes said to Thad through the applause of the crowd. "Clearly he was more comfortable this time around."
"I can so see why that got you hooked." Santana said to Blaine who was eagerly waiting for Sebastian to return. "He was incredible."
"He was, wasn't he?" Blaine replied proudly.
When Sebastian came walking back into the room, he headed straight for Blaine and immediately wrapped his arms around him. "What did you think killer?"
"It was perfect yet once again."
"You think so?"
"Absolutely." Blaine then leaned up and kissed him. During that time if felt as though it was only the two of them. When the kiss broke, they quickly noticed almost everyone's eyes were on them. "Almost like last time, huh?"
"Almost." Sebastian replied before pressing his forehead against Blaine's. "This time around I wasn't afraid to see you afterwards. I bared my soul to you that night Blaine."
"I know which is why it touched me so much. It's probably why I was so worried when you didn't come back up right away. I think it was in that moment I truly realized what you mean to me Sebastian."
"Why does it feel like we're intruding even though we can't hear what they're saying?" Mike said to Beat who was next to him.
"It's because they are clearly having a moment, much like they did when everything happened all those years ago. When they each sang that night, there was no doubt in any of our minds how they felt about each other anymore. While Seb's always been flirtatious, during that week we were all together it was definitely a two-way street. But once they sang, there was no doubt it was more than playful flirting on their parts."
After hanging with their guests a bit more, the girls convinced Blaine and Cooper to rehash their song from that night as well. "So, is it different going into it knowing why it was chosen?" Cooper asked as they waited.
"Yes. But if you told me then, I probably would've chickened out. I really do owe you Coop. You got me to open up in the best way possible."
"You're welcome. Blaine, you've got a way with words, but sometimes when it comes to how you're truly feeling you best express yourself through song. Though I'm sure over the years you've gotten better expressing yourself to Bas."
"I have, though that doesn't mean I still don't go to song. I've written quite a few for him over the years besides singing some of our favorites."
"I hear you're writing a new one."
"And how would you know that?"
"Braeden."
"Ah, he told you about the music he found on the piano that day."
"He did. Are you going to sing to Bas at your wedding?"
"No, this is definitely a song that's going to stay between the two of us. Please don't tell him though. I mean, he knows I'm working on something, but he's only heard the accompaniment and not the lyrics."
"Don't worry Blaine, this will stay between us."
Much as it had been when Sebastian took to the stage earlier, everyone was eager to watch Blaine perform as well. "You're recording this, right?" Sebastian asked as he looked passed Brittany at Jeff.
"Of course I am, just as I recorded you. Got to have a comparison for each performance." All Sebastian could do was smile as he couldn't wait to hear them. Back when Blaine first went to sing, Sebastian was a jumble of nerves, yet now he was going to be able to listen to Blaine sing with a whole new perspective.
How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core where I've become so numb
Without a soul my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home
"Do you know who chose this song?" Rachel asked Thad who was beside her.
"I'm pretty sure it was Cooper, describes Blaine back then well, doesn't it?"
"It does. There was a part of Blaine that no one else seemed to see besides Seb. There was way more going on with him than he let anyone else see."
By the time Blaine and Cooper finished, Blaine pointed up at Sebastian who had the biggest smile on his face. "You've got the same goofy grin on your face that you had last time." Nick told Sebastian who watched as Blaine and Cooper walked off the stage. "One would never guess how long the two of you have been together."
"Is there a problem with that?" Sebastian asked as he leaned against the half wall. "Because I don't think there is. The fact that I'm still looking at B that way shows we're just as in love with each other now as we were then so it's only fitting we're getting married."
"I never said there was a problem Seb." Nick said with a laugh. "I was only making an observation."
"Sorry."
"It's okay. Are we going to get a complete recreation?"
"Why?"
"Blaine's back." When Nick answered he slid his arm around Santana's waist. "Was that everything you expected dear?"
"More so. You were great Blaine."
"Thanks." Blaine replied as he wrapped his arms around Sebastian's waist. "What did you think?"
"Incredible as usual." Once he answered, Sebastian leaned down and kissed him. "I could do this all night."
"Please don't." Hunter said as he walked up with Quinn. "Save it for when you two get home."
"Maybe we'll just leave and do just that."
"Seb, he was kidding." Quinn told him. "You know that."
"I know, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't want to take B home and kiss him all night."
"Judging from the smile on Blaine's face, I don't think you'd get too many objections. But, the girls and I would be offended."
"That is why it won't be happening." Sebastian said before kissing her on the cheek. "This was honestly a great idea you guys."
"We're glad you approve." Santana replied. "Quinn, are you ready?"
"I am. We just need to find Britt and Rach."
"Are you girls singing a number together?" Hunter asked.
"Of course."
"And for your information, this performance is a little more PG than previous ones." Santana told them.
"No talks of bondage, bummer." Sebastian replied.
"Not tonight." Santana then leaned over and gave Nick a kiss. "We'll be back soon."
Shortly after they left, Brody and Jeff joined the group. Since there were already people on stage and a few waiting they knew it was going to be a bit till the girls performed. "I'm not interrupting, am I?" Wes said as he walked over.
"Not at all, we were just talking. What's going on?" Blaine asked.
"Flint and Brooke are now parents."
"When?" Jeff asked.
"According to the text Flint sent, probably not too long ago. So, it's a special night in more than one aspect."
"Is it a little girl or a little Warbler?" Nick asked.
"A little Warbler."
"Only you guys would refer to a little boy as a little Warbler." Brody said. "But it's rather fitting considering the talent of his parents."
"That's very true." Blaine replied. "Do we have a name?"
"Not yet, but I'm sure we'll have one soon. Last I spoke with Flint they had narrowed it down to two boy and two girl names. So, it's just a matter of choosing one or the other."
"Any reason for two?" Sebastian asked.
"Brooke wanted to see the baby before deciding on a name."
"That makes sense." Hunter said. "Cassie and Donovan had a couple names as well but didn't name Colin till they saw him. She said a couple of the other names just didn't suit him."
"Guys, you're going to want to see this." Mike said as the girls took the stage.
"We're coming." Nick replied and they all headed towards the wall once more.
Does he tell you he loves you when you least expect it?
Does he flutter your heart when he kisses your neck?
No scientist or biology
It's obvious when he's holding me
It's only natural that I'm so affected
And my heart won't beat again
If I can't feel him in my veins
No need to question, I already know
It's in his DNA
D-D-D-DNA
It's in his DNA
And he just takes my breath away
B-b-b-breath away
I feel it every day,
And that's what makes a man
Not hard to understand
Perfect in every way
I see it in his face
Nothing more to say
It's in his D-D-D-DNA
It's the blue in his eyes that helps me see the future
Fingerprints that leave me covered for days, yeah, hey, yeah
Now I don't have any first degree
But I know, what he does to me
No need to work it out, it's so familiar, ooh, ooh, ooh
And my heart won't beat again
If I can't feel him in my veins
No need to question, I already know
It's in his DNA
D-D-D-DNA
It's in his DNA
And he just takes my breath away
B-b-b-breath away
I feel it every day,
And that's what makes a man
Not hard to understand
Perfect in every way
I see it in his face
Nothing more to say
It's in his D-D-D-DNA
It's all about his kiss
Contaminates my lips
Our energy connects
It's simple genetics
I'm the X to his Y
It's the colour of his eyes
He can do no wrong
No, he don't need to try
Made from the best
He passes all the tests
Got my heart beating fast
It's cardiac arrest
He's from a different strain
That science can't explain
I guess that's how he's made
In his d-d-d-DNA
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, oohh
It's in his DNA
D-D-D-DNA
It's in his DNA
And he just takes my breath away
B-b-b-breath away
I feel it every day,
And that's what makes a man (what makes a man)
Not hard to understand (to understand)
Perfect in every way (in every way)
I see it in his face (in his face)
Nothing more to say (nothing more to say)
It's in his D-D-D-DNA
The girls had just finished and Blaine and Sebastian took a good look at their friends who were surrounding them. "I think they're all in shock." Sebastian said into Blaine's ear. "The girls nailed it. There is no doubt they're all in good places in their relationships."
"No kidding." Blaine replied with a slight turn of his head before giving Sebastian a kiss. "There is no denying being sung to has an effect on all of us."
"I'm certain almost every guy in this place was wishing they were the ones being sung to."
"Sucks for them." Jeff replied. "Those lovely ladies are all spoken for." Once he finished the guys headed towards their girls, that is everyone but Nick.
"Is there something we can do for you?" Blaine asked.
"Yea, we've got some shopping to do."
"Is this for what we think it's for?" Sebastian asked.
"It is. But can we talk about this later, I…"
"Go." Blaine told him. "We'll talk later." After Nick walked away, Blaine turned in Sebastian's arms. "Did you see that smile on his face when he spoke?"
"It was hard to miss. Santana truly means the world to him."
"She does and we can safely say that feeling is completely mutual."
"What feeling?" Thad asked as he walked up.
"Nothing. Having fun?" Sebastian asked.
"I am. The girls put on one heck of performance but that shouldn't come as a surprise."
"Of course not. What are you doing over here?" Blaine asked.
"Can't I just come and talk to the guests of honor."
"You can but I have a feeling it's more than that. Spill." Thad then looked over his shoulder.
"Fine, Megan and Ally asked a few of us besides Logan to watch their performance. They're waiting to go on."
"Okay, but what was with the look?" Sebastian asked before following Thad's gaze again. "Ah, you're worried about Nick. Relax; he's preoccupied at this moment." He then pointed out that Nick was currently kissing Santana.
"Thad."
"It's not like that Blaine." Blaine crossed his arms over his chest at Thad's response. "It's not."
"Then why worry?"
"It's because Nick would be concerned with any of us "single guys" watching his sister. At least Megan is dating Logan."
"She's cute." Sebastian said.
"Bas."
"Come now B, Ally is cute. So is Megan, though she's spoken for at the moment."
"You're right, they're both cute which is why they have over protective brothers."
"Exactly." Thad replied as Beat and David came walking over. "See, I'm not the only one coming to watch."
"Just be careful with your comments and you guys should be fine." Sebastian told them.
While waiting for the girls to come on, they saw even more of their friends take the stage. "Props to Jenna for not letting her bump stop her." Blaine said as Jenna, Lauren, Nate, and John had all gotten on stage. "While this isn't the most conventional party, there is no doubt everyone is enjoying themselves."
"That's very true." Sebastian replied. "I'm rather glad they went this route since it allowed everyone to come….well, almost everyone. How's Cassie?" Sebastian said as he nudged Thad.
"Tired, as is Donovan. He has no clue how he'd be surviving if he hadn't taken paternity leave."
"I hope you and Hunter have helped out."
"We have when we've been allowed since both sets of parents are in town. For the most part we've taken to keeping Gwen occupied so Cassie and Donovan can get some rest. Gwen actually spent the night at my place last night."
"You and Hunter mean the world to her and this is just adding to it." Blaine told him. "But it's a good feeling isn't it knowing you mean so much to someone and they're counting on you."
"It is." Thad replied. "Now I know firsthand how you two feel with your nieces and nephews. I always understood how you could feel the way you did, but the depth of it is something I didn't expect."
