Chapter 29

-Some weeks later-

Puck decided to throw a resurrection party for his best friend, and the NDs agreed.

Right now, the gleeks plus Dani and Elliott were preparing everything for the big party. Carole and Burt were willing to spend the weekend in Columbus to let their kids celebrate (If I see one dirty spot, boys, you are in trouble, Burt had warned them before he left).
"You are so copying Arrow. Tommy Merlin exactly did the same for Oliver Queen", Sam said while he was putting some balloons to the chandelier of the Hudmel basement with his powers.
"Nerd", Quinn said under her breath.
Puck shrugged. "Arrow is dope, and The Flash too, right, Hummel?", he said, nudging Kurt. "I don't think so", he answered.
That Flash guy kind of reminded him of Sebastian, that's the reason why he didn't like those series.
Dani was standing next to Santana, helping her sorting out some alcohol bottles. "Sooo…you and Brittany are…married?", The selkie broke the silence. Santana nodded. "Look, Dani, I'm sorry how it ended", Santana mumbled bashfully. "It's okay, Santana, it really is. From the beginning on, I knew that you were not over your ex, but I agreed anyway. I was a wreck when you broke up, but then I did this journey with Elliott and I had time to heal", Dani explained. "I'm over it, now, and I'm happy you are happy.", she said softly, thoughtfully glancing to Elliott who just hanged up some chains of lights with Rachel, Mercedes and Tina.
Santana followed her gaze- and smirked. She was a really observant person, and she was able to do the math quickly. "You like Starchild, don't you?", she realized. "Shhht!", Dani said, looking around paranoidly. "Don't even try to deny it, Dan. That was not the first time I caught you. I thought you preferred women?", she frowned. "Yes, I do, but I'm still bi. I can feel attracted to men as well", the blonde mumbled, putting some Pina Colada bottles out of the box.
"What are you waiting for? Make a move!", Santana urged. Dani shook her head. "That's out of question. Our friendship is too valuable to risk it. Elliott is my best buddy", she explained. Santana cocked her eyebrows. "Friends with…benefits?", she smirked naughtily. Dani boxed her. "Of course not!", she hissed. Santana rubbed her arm. "You really need to control your powers", she murmured.

Santana dragged Kurt away from their friends. "
You told us that Sue trapped you in an elevator to get you and Hobbit back together and it kind of worked. What did she do?", she asked him. Kurt cocked his eyebrow. "Why do you want to know that?", he asked, skeptical. The Latina mermaid shrugged. "Just out of interest. Spill, Lady Lips", she demanded. "Please", she added reluctantly.
Kurt rolled his eyes and recounted how Sue trapped them in the fake elevator.
Santana excitedly rubbed her hands. "That sounds like a perfect plan. And if it has worked once, it will work again", she mumbled to herself. Kurt put his hands on his hips. "Santana Maria Lopez, what are you up to?", he asked sternly. Santana threw him an unimpressed glance. "That is none of your business, Hummel. If you excuse me, I need to take care of the snacks", she said and rushed back downstairs. Kurt confusedly looked after her.
The Latina went straight to Finn and pulled him by the collar, away from their friends. "We need to talk, giant Jesus", she said, referring to the resurrection theory. "What is it, Santana?", he whined. "Listen, I know that you want to set up Dani and Elliott, don't try to deny it. I'm going to help you because Dani still means something to me", she admitted. Finn's face fell. "But Elliott doesn't want to be together with…" "-Please, Frankenteen. I know a lot more about love than you will ever know. Move your lazy ass, then I will tell you what my plan is", she said. Finn reluctantly followed the Latina up the stairs.

The party was in full swing when Brittany took Elliott and Dani by the arms and dragged them away from the others. "What is it, Brittany? Is there a problem?", Elliott asked her. The blonde nodded. "Some chains of lights are broken, and we need to replace them. I think there are some more in the storage room on the first floor. Will you please go get them and then help me put them up?", she begged the selkies. Elliot nodded. "Of course, Britt" He took Dani's hand and the two of them went up the stairs.
"Are you ok?", he asked his best friend. He had noticed that Dani acted somewhat…aloof around Santana's wife. Maybe she wasn't over the breakup like she claimed. "I'm fine, don't worry about me", Dani answered, trying to sound normal, but her voice was wavering a little. "You don't have to be fine, Dan. It's okay to be upset to see that your ex is happy with someone else", he said, somewhat bitterly. The female selkie frowned. Was he talking about her or himself?
Dani squeezed his hands. "We are supposed to be over the both of them, right? We need to move on if we want to stay friends with them", she mumbled softly. The two friends arrived in front of the door. "Storage room", was written on the door. Dani and Elliott entered.
"Did Brittany mention where the light chains are exactly?", Dani wondered. Elliott shook his head. "Nope. Let's go ask her, I can't find them", she said. The selkies turned around and wanted to leave, but the door was slammed shut. Elliott wanted to open it, but it was locked. "What the…", he stammered. Dani shooed him aside. "Let me try, I have super-strength", she reminded him. She frowned when she was unsuccessful as well. "Why doesn't it work?", the blonde wondered. "Help!", Elliott shouted, hammering against the door. "Give it up, Starchild. They are all downstairs at the party where the music is loud as hell. No one can hear you", Dani said. Suddenly, the TV over their heads Dani didn't notice, was turned on. "Did you do that?", she asked her friend. Elliott shook his head. "Nope, I didn't".
A person with a white mask and a red wig appeared on the screen. "Well, hello there, Dani and Elliott", the person said. The voice was manipulated, and they couldn't tell who it was. "As you've noticed, you are trapped."
Dani scoffed and rolled up her sleeves. "Trapped? That's it, I'm gonna kick the door open with my super-strength. Sorry in advance, Kurt and Finn." She jumped and kicked the door, but in vain. "Your powers won't help you much, I'm afraid. I'm sure you want to know why I did that, right?", the person asked. Again, Dani let out a scoff. "I will release you, but first, you need to kiss." Dani glared at the screen.
"Wait, what?", Elliott gasped. "But I want a real kiss, not just a harmless peck. I want to see a lot of tongue involved!", the person instructed. "Gross!", both selkies exclaimed at the same time.
The person crossed his/her arms. "Well, have a nice life in there, then. But I'm sure, you will change your minds, you two lovebirds. Don't fight the Delliott romance!" With that, the TV was turned off. Elliott sat down on the floor. "Delliott? That kind of sounds lame", he mumbled. Dani facepalmed.

"Blaine, have you seen Elliott?", Kurt asked his husband who was just chatting with Sam. Blaine shook his head. "Nope, haven't seen him for a while to be honest" Kurt furrowed his eyebrows. "Weird. He just disappeared…" Mercedes and Rachel rushed over to them. "Have you guys seen Dani?", Rachel asked their two friends. "She wanted to drink some shots with us, but then, she just disappeared", Mercedes added.
"So did Elliott. It's been two or even three hours since I've seen him the last time", Kurt frowned. "Did they leave?", Blaine thought out loud. Rachel shook her head. "They would've told us. Besides, Elliott's car is still outside. I doubt that they left", she said. "We need to search them. Maybe they need help", Mercedes said and went upstairs. The three others followed suit.
"Elliott! Dani!", Kurt shouted. The group of four was in the living room, but no one was there. "Let's search them upstairs", Rachel suggested.
Kurt, Blaine, Rachel and Mercedes went up the stairs and stopped when they heard something. "Is this…coming from Finn's room?", Kurt asked incredulously. He carefully entered- and saw Brittany making out with a person with a mask and a wig. "God dammit, Britt!", he shouted, disgusted. The other three also entered, curious. "You are cheating on Santana shortly after you've married?", Mercedes asked incredulously. "Shame on you, Britt!", Rachel called out. "Don't dare to insult my wife like that!", the person said and put down her mask. Santana's face came into view.
"What the hell? Is this some kind of kinky roleplay or something?", Blaine called out. Santana rolled her eyes. "No. Will you just leave right now?", she ordered her friends. Kurt defensively lifted his hands. "Good, we will leave. I don't care anyway what you are doing there, this is Finn's room, so have fun" He closed the door behind him and left with his friends. When they were about to go down the stairs, Rachel stopped in her tracks. "Wait…did you hear that?", she asked. Mercedes grimaced. "Santana's and Brittany's moaning? Yes, we can hear it loud and clear" The brunette mermaid shook her head. "No, not that. Something just fell down in another room" She went from door to door and eavesdropped. Kurt shook his head. "There is nothing, Rachel. Let's go back to…" Rachel stopped in front of the door of the storage room. "There!", she said triumphantly. Her three friends reluctantly followed her to the door of the storage room. Rachel carefully opened the door – and the four of them saw Dani and Elliott making out passionately.
"What the…", Kurt gasped. When Dani and Elliott noticed that people were watching them, they quickly jumped apart. Santana appeared behind the four friends. "And I even unlocked the door hours ago after they had kissed. But apparently, they didn't want to leave" Dani got up, straightened her jeans and glared at the Latina. "It was you? You trapped us?", she asked incredulously. Santana smirked. "And it worked, right?", she asked, nudging her. Elliott got up as well, his dark hair was tousled. "That was not cool, San", he agreed, but couldn't hide his smile when Dani cuddled up to him.
Kurt backed away, dragging Blaine with him. "I guess, we should leave those four lovebirds alone. But don't even dare to have sex in my bed. You can have the guest room or even Finn's, but mine is taboo", he threatened before he went down the stairs, Mercedes and Rachel followed suit. Dani grinned. "Soo, Starchild…where were we?", she asked, crashing her lips on his. The two stumbled to the guest room, kissing, and slamming the door shut. Santana laughed. "Come on, Britt, our job is done. I can't wait to jump you", she purred flirtatiously. "Me neither", Brittany said breathlessly and the two of them quickly went to Finn's room.

After a while, Kurt and Blaine sneaked up to the terrace. "Do you feel drunk?", Kurt asked his husband. The latter one shook his head. "Me neither although I had a few shots", Kurt admitted. They sat down on the porch with a blanket, snuggling against each other.
Now, in March, it seemed to get warmer, but it still wasn't that warm to sit outside.
"I can make a small fire with my hands to warm us up", Blaine offered. Kurt shook his head. "I think it's okay like that." The duo looked up the sky which was covered with many glittering stars. "So many things changed four years ago", Kurt mumbled. "I felt so lost with my powers and everything, and then, there was that whole thing with Sebastian", he remembered.
"And then, all the others got turned into merpeople as well, that was crazy", Blaine added. "I thought that we were screwed, but actually, it was great like that. We could help out each other and I didn't have to keep my other side a secret from my friends anymore", Kurt sighed. "We met mermaid hunters like Brody, mad scientists like Dr. E. and even befriended selkies who are probably making out right now", Blaine chuckled.
Kurt put his head in his hands, thoughtful. "What if Finn wasn't a merman? He would've drowned, right? His powers were kind of saving his life", he realized. Blaine squeezed his hand. "But he isn't dead, okay? He is fine and we are celebrating that…well…everyone does it his or her way…", he frowned when he heard Dani moaning because of the open window. Kurt pecked him on the cheek. I love you, Blaine. And I will always love you."
Blaine pecked him right back. "I love you too", he whispered. The couple continued sitting on the porch like that, holding hands and looking up the half moon.
