"Blaine-boy!"
"Hi Wes."
After a moment of awkwardness if they should hug or shake hands, Wes pulled Blaine for a hug.
"For old times sake, Blaine. I see you didn't bring the mister?"
Blaine's grin opened wider whenever Kurt was mentioned:
"No, he wanted to give me privacy to brag about him."
"His words?" Wes exclaimed with eyes wide open.
Blaine chuckled:
"No, mine. I said I missed having friends that haven't been to High School with him. How about you, how's the bride-to-be?"
It was Wes' turn to have his eyes sparkle:
"She's great, all she talks about is the wedding. You remember Lydia, right?"
"Of course! How could I forget her when it was all you talked about in our Dalton days? I mean; before I met Sabastian and became a big pain in the ass…"
Wes took a sip of his beer and smirked at Blaine:
"So now even you admit that he was a bad influence, huh?"
Blaine scratched his neck:
"Sorry for imposing him on you guys back then."
"We were worried about you. You changed your whole personality near him; you stepped away from everybody and you seemed to fade away."
"Kurt always says we should have met at our show choir days and that he'd spare me of Sebastian's meerkat talons."
Wes laughed out loudly:
"Meerkat? Has Kurt met him? It's the perfect description."
"Thank God no! I don't know what Kurt would do to him."
"You are really over S… the meerkat. Thank God!"
Blaine swallowed past the knot in his throat and smile honestly:
"I now know what it is to be in a relationship. Before, I was giving all of myself and receiving nothing in return. Do you know what it's like to date your best friend?"
"I'm marrying mine."
Blaine raised his glass in a toast:
"To friendship, best friends and significant others!"
Wes proposed an addendum:
"To significant others who are good for us."
Blaine drank to that.
"Amen!"
Wes leaned back thoughtful:
"I want to meet this Kurt. You are different. You're smiling and your bubbly self again."
"You will meet him. I guess it's too soon to say, but I feel like Kurt is my soulmate. He's kind, compassionate and always try to push me to be my better self, without being pushy, you know?"
Wes started to play with the rim of his glass:
"Without any kind of prejudice here, just a thought. I thought only women pushed men, you know? Like we are inherently incapable of being our own motors. I mean, I think I wouldn't have achieved half of what I have today without Lydia. I see other fellas also being lazy and not going after their dreams. And now, here you are, going after your dreams because of a man. I'll drink to that."
Blaine stopped to consider and to think of how to phrase his feelings:
"It not so much as him pushing me to go after my dreams as much as it is me wanting to be my better self for him. I know he'd take me at my worst too, God that's what he did! But he deserves the world and I want to deliver it to him."
"Like every effort is worth it just to see their smile. I know the feeling and I'm so happy you found it in your life."
Blaine smirked maliciously:
"It also helps that he's the most gorgeous man I've ever seen and amazing in bed."
Wes eyes opened in awe:
"Where's the Blaine-boy I used to know? All coy and gentleman-y…"
Blaine winked at his friend while he took the last sip of his beer:
"You've seen nothing. Have I told you I'm writing the songs for Kurt's musical?"
"No way, man! You never showed your songs to anyone. And I've sure bothered you to show what you've been writing."
Wes excused himself to visit the restroom and Blaine took the time to text Kurt:
"Wish you were here."
Almost immediately an answer showed in his phone screen:
"I'm thinking of the things I'm going to do to you when you get home."
Blaine smiled also imagining what those might be:
"Good things?"
Kurt's photo showed up on his screen with the answer:
"Only your favorites…"
Blaine jumped up in his sit when he heard a voice coming from behind him:
"Who are you texting?"
"Wes, my man, you scare my like that."
"You were very distracted; I came back a while ago and been trying to catch your eyes."
Blaine smiled at his phone dreamingly one last time before turning his attention back to his friend:
"It was Kurt, obviously."
"We have a man in love. Welcome to the club, buddy!"
Blaine could feel his cheeks getting hot and by now he wasn't so sure if it was Wes' comment or all the beers.
"What were we talking about?"
"How wonderful our partners are. Then you mentioned a little something about writing for a show."
"Kurt is wonderful. His show is wonderful. All the songs I've ever written about meeting a Prince Charming were actually about Kurt."
Wes tapped his shoulder:
"I guess it's no more beers for you tonight. Come on, let's wrap things up and I'll walk you home."
"Home is where Kurt is. But you can't walk me there…"
"Why not?"
"Shhh, it's a secret…" Blaine was whispering a little too loud that all the other patrons could still hear him. "Kurt will be naked."
"Okay, Blaine-boy, I'll just walk you to your building."
"That… that could work. You're a good friend Wesley. I needed a good friend."
Wes passed an arm around Blaine after his friend took a wrong step. Blaine continued his soliloquy still thinking no one could hear him:
"That's why you're going to be my best man."
"Sure man. We'll talk about this we you sobber up."
Blaine stopped them to look dead seriously into Wes' eyes:
"I'm se – hic- rious.'
"If it wasn't for the hiccup, I'd take you seriously."
"I'm going to marry Kurt and adopt a bunch of Asian kids and call them all Wes because of you. You're going to be godfather to them all."
They were almost at Blaine's building and Wes was amused by Blaine's state:
"Okay, my man, but let's take one step at a time. Next step is getting you home."
Blaine smiled:
"Home to Kurt."
