Summary: The Warblers (Old and Present) and New Directions (Old and Present) celebrate New Year's Eve together before it's back to the business of trying to crush each other at Regionals. But it wouldn't be a "Glee" party without some interesting developments along the way.

9AM, New Year's Eve

"Mr. A?"

"Sebastian" Blaine's father was the one to greet him at the door which Sebastian found a little strange, especially since the man was supposed to be in Detroit "Will you follow me please?"

"Sure."

The door closed behind him, Sebastian was lead into the dining room where Mrs. Anderson (who was supposed to be in Detroit as well) was standing at the head of the table. He looked around and noted that besides Blaine...Sam, Sugar, David and Wes were there. That didn't surprise him, but Puck and Santana did. When he finally sat down, he looked over at Blaine and for the first time that morning got a proper look at his boyfriend. That was a mistake.

"Sebastian dear, are you alright?" Mrs. Anderson asked.

"Uh, yeah, no coffee yet, but it can wait." That was a lie. He did have a problem and it was all Blaine's fault.

"Thank you because the car will be here any moment to pick us up."

"Yes, so, before we leave…" Blaine's father began what was an obvious Dad lecture of sorts "While Mrs. A and I have agreed to allow the Warbler/New Directions Joint New Year's Eve Party Extravaganza to be held here, that doesn't mean we're a couple of idiots. Remember, we lived through Cooper's teenage years."

Mrs. Anderson took over and said in the sweetest Mom voice ever "And even though we'll be in Detroit, that doesn't mean we can't have people here to bust every single one of your asses in less than five minutes."

Puck leaned over to Blaine "Dude, I swear if she wasn't married to your dad and like, you know, your mom…"

Blaine shot him a look of horror and then hissed "Do not finish that sentence! Ever!"

Fortunately, the little sidebar was not picked up on by the Andersons, so they continued with their instructions, wrapped in vailed threats, but given with both love and intimidation.

When they were done, Mr. Anderson gave them all an out "Like my wife said, these are our expectations. If any of you have an issue speak now so that everyone else has time to make new plans." They all just glanced back and forth between each other, none of them having issues with anything the Andersons said "Good, so we're off and will be back at 3PM on the 2nd. That gives everyone fair warning as to when to have the house back to PRISTINE condition. Blaine, come give your mom a hug."

After Blaine's parents were gone, those gathered got up and began to discuss the party. Everyone, except for Sebastian. Blaine looked over to Sam, who was able to get the others to follow him to the kitchen. Once they were gone, Blaine sat back down "I'm sorry Bas. I shouldn't have worn my glasses without warning you…"

"Shut up."

"Excuse me?"

Sebastian let out a low groan as he shifted uncomfortably in his chair "I don't have a problem with your glasses. I'm having a problem with your glasses, loose curls, more scruff than I've ever seen you with combo. This new look of yours has gone straight to my cock and I spent this entire time picturing you and Rachel kissing, but that's not helping anymore."

"Really?" Blaine asked with a surprised lilt to his voice and a smirk on his lips "Didn't see that coming."

"Neither did I, but speaking of coming…a little help here!"

"I'd take you to the powder room over there and blow you, but since Puck and Santana are here, it wouldn't go unnoticed."

"B, you have literally been the master of my orgasm denials for months. Do something!"

Blaine thought for a moment and then knew exactly what to do "Well, I have something I could try, but it's kind of drastic."

"Killllllller…"

"Ok, so you know when I met with Hunter? There's one thing I still haven't told you."

"Blaine, now is not the time…"

"Yes, it is. Bas, Hunter told me that Kurt did all of those things to keep us apart not to keep you away from me, but to keep me away from you."

The comment didn't relax Sebastian as much as it temporarily tampered the urgency of the situation "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Hunter said Kurt doesn't want me, he wants you."

"That's not funny, B."

"Not trying to be."

Sebastian looked at Blaine and could tell he was being completely serious. Instantly his problem went away. Like an ice bucket had been dumped. Like the idea of him and Hummel…

"Hey, are you ok?" Blaine asked.

"Yeah, but I have definitely found my new mailman. Nothing has ever taken me off the edge so quickly, and completely." Sebastian told him as he caught his breath "And, you're serious about this? You weren't just trying to make me vomit?"

Blaine had started to shake his head when yelling was heard from the kitchen. Upon their arrival, they noticed that the group had been joined by a girl who was the size of Sugar, with the mouth of Santana, but the vocabulary of a Dalton Boy. It was also clear that all of her vitriol was aimed directly at Wes.

"Nari?" Blaine barely recognized her "I haven't seen you in forever. What are you doing here?"

"Oh, no Blaine. You are not getting my brother out of this one."

Meanwhile, Sebastian went to seek answers to his own questions "Where are David, Puck and Santana?"

"Puck's talking to Finn. Santana is talking with Brittany and Artie to make sure everyone knows to be on their best behavior and David is doing the same with Jeff and Nicky" Sugar told him "I'm going to go call Kitty and tell her everything Auntie Pammy and Uncle Charles said. People are way more afraid of her than Brittany or Artie."

Once Sugar left, Sebastian was going to ask Sam about Puck calling Finn but he soon noticed that would have been pointless "Earth to Sam. Earth calling Sammy Boy. Are you in there?"

"Um."

Sebastian began to laugh. He tried not to, but the situation was pretty damn funny "Sam! Sam, snap out of it. Wes is going to notice you're drooling over his sister."

That actually worked "I am not…I mean, I'm not…I mean" Sam just stopped and let out a sigh "Isn't she pretty?"

Blaine tried to determine what was going on across the room and at the same time mediate the Montgomery Family Feud. He was failing at both. "You're not coming Nari. Final." Wes dictated, which definitely was not the way to handle the situation.

"Not final. Mom said you had to let me and two of my friends come to the party. Just because the party moved to Blaine's doesn't negate the verbal agreement that was previously negotiated."

"Oh my god, stop with the legal arguments. It's a fucking party!"

Blaine never saw Wes lose his cool like the way he would with Nari. It reminded him of him and Sugar. Actually, it was the exact opposite of him and Sugar "It's ok, Wes. Let Nari and her friends come. It's no big deal."

"No, I'm not babysitting the three of them all night."

"I will" Sam spoke up and then turned beet-red when he realized what he said "I mean, your sister and her friends can hang out with me and the New Directions." Sam walked over and held out his hand "Hi, I'm Sam."

For the first time, Nari noticed the tall blonde boy in the room and kicked herself for not doing so earlier. She took his hand, and smiled at the way his eyes lit up when she did "Narissa, but you can call me Nari."

"I think I'll stick with Narissa if you don't mind."

"I don't mind."

Blaine tried to break the spell the two were under before Wes realized what was happening "So, that's settled. Nari and no more than two friends can come to the party and hang out with the New Directions. Let's get to work."

It took about another hour before Wes realized that his sister was still there and had not left Sam's side. He didn't know what bothered him. Nari aggravated him like no other person could and he really didn't know Sam all that well, but this was his baby sister and a boy. Blaine promised to keep an eye on things if necessary and that if for some reason Sam ever hurt Nari, he would not stand in the way of Wes' revenge. That helped.

With calls to make, errands to run and deliveries coming in, everyone remained busy but Blaine wanted to assure that they would get rest periods due to the late night ahead. That's why he put a halt to all preparations between 12PM and 2PM and would again between 6PM and 8PM. In reality, instituting arbitrary rest periods was a rouge plan to hide the fact that he and Sebastian wanted to be alone at 1 PM. Since they would not be able to celebrate the New Year in Ohio as they would like, the would celebrate the New Year in Paris that way. It seemed like a good compromise, plus it would test Sebastian's ability to have silent sex before they returned to Dalton.

3PM brought the arrival of Thad, Jeff, Nick and Kitty, who brought a guy named Rodrick with her. He was the son of a friend of her father who had just transferred to McKinley. Since he planned on trying out for the New Directions, Kitty had asked if she could bring him to meet the others. Blaine hadn't had a problem with it and having extra help was nice. It not only got things set up faster, it allowed him and Sebastian to sneak a couple of minutes with Puck.

"So, how is Finn doing visiting Rachel in New York?" Blaine asked "I was there the last time it happened and everything pretty much went to hell, but that was also the time of my disastrous break-up with Kurt."

"Of which I am thankful every day" Sebastian said and then added a kiss.

"From what he says, it's going pretty well" Puck told them. "What's the word? Oh yeah, cathartic. He needed this before he starts college next month so he can move on. Finn had wanted to talk to her while she was here, but when she got that part in the Holiday Show his plans had to change."

"Hearing that almost makes me feel a little less guilty that we, well you, suggested he go to New York in the first place. Without telling him it was to keep an eye on Kurt, of course" Blaine hated putting Puck in the middle of the situation, so he had been happy with what he reported.

"I still can't believe that after everything that happened after Sectionals, Hummel talked Rachel into letting him stay with her for New Years as a way to repair their friendship" Yeah, that had pissed Sebastian off "But it gave us an opportunity to see if he contacted that Travis guy, which he did."

Blaine went wide-eyed and quickly scanned the area "We cannot talk about that guy today, especially with David here." His statement was not only a reminder to Sebastian, but himself and Puck as well. At this point, they were all pretty certain it was Travis, and not Kurt, who was after the money David didn't know he had.

"Whatever" Puck said as he attempted to change the subject "But if Finn, and by Finn I mean Kurt, wasn't out of town, I wouldn't be here. So for me, it's all good."

"Your right, I would have never invited Kurt" Blaine told him "But for you I could have tolerated Finn."

Puck started to laugh "You might have tried, but you would not have succeeded."

Before Blaine could respond, Sam found them "Hey Seb, your car is blocking me and I told Narissa I would take her to her friend's so she can get ready for the party."

"Why don't you take my Harley so we don't have to play musical cars?" Blaine suggested "The bob is on my dresser and the helmets are in the cabinet marked, well helmets."

"Seriously dude? Thanks!"

Once Sam left, Blaine turned back to Puck and Sebastian who stared at him like he had grown another head "What?"

"You're letting Evans ride your Harley?" Puck asked in disbelief.

"You told Sam to take Wes Montgomery's little sister out on your Harley?" Sebastian asked in disbelief.

"Oh shit!"

Blaine took off toward the garage, but he knew he was too late as he heard that distinctive roar pull out of the drive-way followed by an exceedingly angry brother shouting "Blaine Anderson, get your ass out here!"

After a half hour of "I'm sorry, Wes" and "Yes, I'm an idiot" as well as a call from Nari assuring her brother she was in one piece, order was restored. Pizzas arrived and everyone got a chance to relax and prepare for the mandated 6PM to 8PM rest period. It also gave Blaine and Sebastian a chance to pull aside the other person they needed to talk to, especially since she was leaving for New York in the morning.

"So, this den of iniquity is pretty different from your wanky room back in Lima" Santana noted as she entered Blaine's bedroom.

"Wanky room?" Sebastian asked.

Blaine tried to wave it off, but Santana just smiled and took a drink out of her bottle of water before answering "When I stayed at Sugar's I interrupted your boy here as he was dreaming about you and he was so out of it that he answered his door naked."

"I was not out of it" Blaine corrected "I was busy trying to figure out where to bury your body so I didn't give a shit."

"Hold on" Sebastian wasn't aware Blaine and Santana's friendship had grown this much while he was in Paris "She saw you naked?" he asked Blaine.

"Yes, I did" Santana answered for him "And even though it didn't do anything for me, I will say that you're a lucky man Mr. Smythe."

"First of all" Blaine countered "It totally did do something for you. Now, can we get to the topic? Santana, do you still have the tape you made of Kurt when he approached us at the Lima Bean on Black Friday?"

"Yes, but it's in a box of my belongings headed to New York."

Sebastian was confused "What's going on B?"

"I remember commenting that I didn't think something he said referred to me, but I don't remember what he said." Blaine looked at Santana "Do you?"

"No, sorry. Why is that important now?"

"Because when I talked to Hunter he told me that Kurt didn't want me he wanted Bas."

Unfortunately, Santana had just taken another drink of her water and proceeded to spit it on Sebastian "Damn it, Lopez!" he yelled before heading to Blaine's en suite for a towel.

"Sorry, but tell your boyfriend not to spring shit like that on me" she called out. "Let's just agree that between that and my seeing Blaine's junk, we're even for the Slushie." After she heard some form of a disgruntled acceptance from the other room, she turned her attention back to Blaine "Do you think this Clarington guy was serious?"

"If he lied, the deal he made with my uncle was no longer valid. He wouldn't chance that."

"What kind of deal could your alleged mobster uncle make him?"

Blaine walked over and sat in the chair at his desk, then he almost glared at Santana in amazement. How could she of all people not have figured this out? "Santana, there's nothing alleged about my uncle." Santana let out a gasp before putting her hand over her mouth and falling back onto Blaine's bed "Now you understand why it's hard to believe Hunter would lie."

"Then why do you doubt what he said?"

"Because at that dinner from hell Bas and I had with Kurt, Kurt called Bas a slut right to his face."

"Don't forget he also called my mother a slut" Sebastian snarled as he came back into the room.

That had been the opening Blaine had been waiting for. He tried to read Sebastian's face but found no answers there. Fuck! That night when Kurt talked about Sebastian's mother and sister, Blaine had realized the Smythe family secret. What he didn't know was if Sebastian knew the secret as well, but Blaine would never ask. This was not the kind of secret you accidently told someone.

It was in that moment that Blaine decided to let it go for now. There was a week left on the truce he brokered with Kurt, but better than that he was about to throw the best party ever. There was no way he was screwing that up.

It was time for the Warbler/New Directions Joint New Year's Eve Party Extravaganza to begin!

9PM, New Year's Eve

The party was more than ready to go and guests began to arrive. Warblers showed up first, which wasn't surprising. The one that didn't show was Doug. That disappointed Blaine as he had personally invited his roommate. He asked Doug's friends about his no-show, but all of them said that they had no contact with him over the break. Once again Blaine decided to let something go. He knew there was no way to find out what happened until they were back at Dalton.

Not much later, all of the current New Directions arrived plus Mike, Quinn and Mercedes. Blaine had sent a bus for them but they were all staying the night. After they put away their overnight bags, Sam introduced them to Narissa and her friends. The girls instantly clicked with his friends, and like Sam promised Wes, they spent the night hanging out with the kids from McKinley.

It didn't take long for the rest of the guests start to intermingle as well. Blaine and Sebastian had to laugh as some of the groupings were quite entertaining to watch. Puck, Mike and Beat had found the beer and were constantly laughing (loudly) but no one understood why. Unique and Trent had been in their own little world since the moment they were introduced and Tina was pretty much stalking Jeff. Evidently, she had decided that since Kitty and Sugar had Warbler boyfriends, she needed one as well.

However, the group that Blaine found the most intriguing was Wes & Quinn and David & Mercedes. While they were together in a group of four, it was obvious that they had also paired themselves into couples, one that had a connection they hadn't realized.

"So, David's grandmother goes to your church?" Blaine asked Mercedes "And the two of you used to play together when you were younger?"

"We lived with my grandmother for a while after my parents' divorce" David informed him "I was about six, which made you five. Right Mercedes?"

"Yes. We recognized each other but didn't know how." Mercedes said "Guess we just should have asked."

Everyone was so engrossed in their conversations that none of them noticed the karaoke/performance area that had been set-up (to be fair, Rachel wasn't there). Blaine and Sam went over and got things started with their rendition of Heroes. It had been forgotten that most of the guest were unaware that Blaine played guitar. That meant Sebastian, Thad, Puck, Santana and Sugar spent time during the performance explaining the concept of Alpha Gay. It made sense to most guests, but Mercedes was totally pissed off.

Her relationship with Kurt had been strained when she found out that he had given the tape to Sebastian without telling Blaine. But this, this was Kurt making Blaine feel like he had to hide his talent. Then she remembered a conversation she had with Quinn, Santana and Brittany after the Trouble Tone's loss at Sectionals. She almost didn't to go back to the New Directions because she refused to sing background for Blaine (and Berry), and only did go back because the Trouble Tones were promised a number during every competition. Did that make her any better than Kurt? She decided she had a few more New Year's resolutions to contemplate.

A little after 11PM, and after many outstanding performances (including Santana and Sebastian's version of Smooth Criminal) an inebriated McKinley crowd convinced Roderick to sing for them. Since Kitty had been helping him she went and pulled up the song on the karaoke machine. She couldn't wait for the New Directions, but in reality the Warblers, to hear him.

My lover's got humour
She's the giggle at a funeral
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped her sooner

The minute the first line was out of Roderick's mouth the Warblers gravitated toward each other.

"Wow."

"Yeah, he's good."

"Like really, really good."

Similar comments continued to be whispered and then Kitty came in and helped with harmony…

Take me to church
I'll worship like a dog at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that deathless death
Good God, let me give you my life

After that, David summed things up "You guys are so screwed."

Once the song finished, the Warblers clapped politely but the New Directions (both Old and New) went crazy. "Well, what are you going to do Blaine, Sebastian?" Wes asked. When they gave him a Why the fuck are you asking us look he reminded them "You're the co-captains and the New Direction's just threw down one hell of a gauntlet."

"Oh, yeah. What are we going to do, Bas?" Blaine had no ideas.

"I think we should sing a particular duet."

"Are you sure? I mean, that's our song. What about Mirrors?

"Mirrors isn't a duet" Sebastian reminded him "Unless you want to do a solo?"

"No, let's go."

Thad couldn't hide his smile as he knew what they were about to sing.

"What are they doing?" Jeff asked.

"You'll see."

When the New Directions saw Blaine and Sebastian were going to sing they quieted down. Kitty watched with a smirk, believing that her performance with Roderick couldn't be topped. However, when Sam and Sugar heard the first notes from Blaine's guitar, they knew the Warblers were not going down without a fight.

You and me were always with each other
Before we knew the others was ever there
You and me we belong together
Just like a breath needs the air

"Wow"

"Yeah, wow."

"Like really, really wow."

Comments were whispered in a similar fashion to the way the Warblers had, but about half-way through Joe asked a question that more than a few of them had "The song is beautiful but who sings it? I've never heard it before."

"Blaine and Sebastian" Sam told them. "Blaine wrote the song."

After that, Santana summed things up "You guys are so screwed."

Midnight came faster than anticipated and soon there were shouts of "Happy New Year!" and Blaine and Sebastian had no problem getting in several not-so-chaste kisses.

"This really is a great party, Killer" Sebastian told him as their last kiss ended.

"I know. I'm so happy to see all of my friends getting along. It's going to be a shame when Mr. Schue finds out and puts a halt to it."

Note:

Take Me to Church: Hozier-Byrne, Andrew 2013

I know Roderick didn't come along until Season 6, but he was the same grade as Kitty so I used him here. One of the things I am not going to deal with in this story is the New Directions constant issue of having 12 members. Because of this, expect Brittany, Joe and of course Sugar to stick around.

This version of Take Me to Church (in my opinion) was one of the only good things about Season 6.
