A/N: Hi guys! School's been a bit hectic so sorry I haven't updated in a while. Here's the next chapter :D
By the time the Hummel-Hudsons got to the reception the toasts had already started. Kurt made his was to sit at the table with the rest of the glee club. There was an empty seat next to Blaine and he took it. Suddenly it was Finn's turn to make a toast as the best man.
He stood up hit and his knife awkwardly against his glass and Kurt couldn't help but chuckle as he remembered the similar scene from the Princess Diaries when Mia broke her glass. He cleared his throat. "Mr. Schuester, I've been wondering for weeks what I was going to say when this time came. I just want to let you know that on behalf of the glee club, and I of course, we are so happy for you and Ms. Pilsbury. I mean you're like a father figure to most of us. Even with all of the pregnancy drama, cheating scandals and sexuality questioning-"this successfully elicited laughs from our table as we knew just how drama filled our little club was. "you stuck with us and never gave up on us. We are so glad you found someone who makes you so happy, and I know I hope that one day I can be as lucky." At that he actually looked down directly at Rachel. She was stunned for a while and then looked away quickly, face reddened. He then looked back to the couple. "Congrats you guys. We love you and wish you many happy years together." He raised his glass and smiled. Everybody raised their glass in agreement.
"And now I believe it's time for the bride and groom's first dance." Finn said after taking a sip from his glass. Rachel then started to get up to make her way to the stage. She looked as if she was about to fall apart. Kurt whispered in her ear quickly, "It's ok. You can do this. Just…don't look at him while you're singing and you should be fine." She only nodded in response. After taking a deep breath she walked over and got on stage.
The music started and Mr Schue took Ms Pilsbury's hand and led her to the dance floor. Rachel started singing and Kurt realised in all the years he'd known her he'd never heard her sing with as much emotion as he did then. He could tell she was fighting the oncoming tears. It was too much for her. By the look on Finn's face he could tell he was thinking the same thing as well. The couple continued to sway in the centre of the dance floor and in about the middle of the song other couples began to get up and join them as well. Someone tapped his shoulder and he turned around to find Blaine standing up, hand outstretched and looking slightly nervous. "Would you like to dance?" he asked with a bit of a shake in his voice. He thought Kurt wouldn't want to and he'd be shot down as he was clearly shocked when Kurt took his hand and nodded with a smile in response. Blaine then smiled his signature billion dollar smile and led Kurt onto the dance floor. Blaine then put his hand on Kurt's waist and clasped his other hand with Kurt's and they began to sway like the couples surrounding them. Kurt always loved dancing with Blaine, especially when he led. He never felt awkward or clumsy (which he most certainly was). He always thought to himself that Blaine was a good enough dancer for the both of them. He smiled at the thought and the Blaine asked with his own smile on his face, "What are you smiling at?"
"The fact that if you weren't so good of a dancer I'd probably be awkwardly stepping on your feet all of the time."
He laughed. "That's not true. I think you're an incredible dancer. Do I need to show you the 4 minutes video again?" He said with a slight smirk on his face.
Kurt blushed. "No, no, no. No need to bring that out of the archives."
Blaine laughed again. It wasn't until then that Kurt had realised how much he'd missed that laugh. In fact he just missed Blaine. He missed everything about him. He missed seeing him every day. He missed watching Disney movies and musicals with him. He missed picking out his outfits. He missed playing in his curls when he had little to no gel in his hair. He missed cuddling with him. And of course, he missed kissing him. He realised whether or not they'd be together he couldn't wait until he came up to New York in the fall. Maybe they could just go back to being best friends like they were at Dalton before they got together.
Too quickly the song ended and Rachel hurried off the stage and went out the doors.
"Wow that must've been hard for her. That was what she was going to sing to Finn at their wedding right?" Blaine said eyes full of concern for his friend.
"Yeah it was." Kurt said then sighed. "I'll go talk to her". Blaine then let go of him and Kurt tried to ignore the fact that he immediately missed the warmth of his hands on his body.
By the time Kurt got outside, Rachel was in full on sobbing mode. She looked like a drowned racoon, but Kurt decided not to tell her that. He put an arm around her shoulder and led her to sit down on the outdoor bench. She then rested her head on Kurt's shoulder and let it all out. Kurt just rubbed small circles in her back and whispered comforting things into her ear in an attempt to calm his friend down. She began to pull herself together after a few minutes.
"It was too much." She said finally. "I should've never agreed to sing it."
"Rachel Berry? Turn down a solo? Like that'll ever happen." Kurt replied amusedly.
They both began to laugh when Finn suddenly came outside. Rachel's face dropped immediately. He looked at her awkwardly. "Hi. I…uhmm…wanted to talk to you. Is that ok?"
Rachel turned to Kurt, and he shrugged.
"Yeah, sure why not."
"I'll just leave you two alone then." Kurt stated then went back inside to the reception.
When he got back inside the girl's had just begun Crazy In Love and everyone was on their feet. Blaine spotted him from the dance floor and signalled him over. After a few seconds Kurt began to really let himself go. He was having a blast dancing with Blaine and doing all sorts of goofy dances. He ended up dancing with him through all of the performances until it was their turn to sing. As he realised this his stomach slowly began to knot up. Blaine saw his sudden panic and grabbed his hand instinctively and squeezed it.
"Don't worry Kurt, we know this song back to front."
Kurt just nodded in response. If only he knew the real reason why Kurt was so nervous.
They got on stage and two technicians brought each of them a mike. Kurt took one last deep breath as the music began playing in the background.
Blaine began singing and Kurt responded as they'd practiced until they reached the point in the song when they sang "I'll hold you close in my arms." Blaine reached out and held his hand and turned towards him. They were no longer singing to the bride and groom but to each other. They reached the last verse and Kurt could hardly bear it.
And yes...
You'll be the only one!
'Cause no one can deny;
This love I have inside.
And I'll give
It all to you;
My love,
My Endless Love...
Blaine's eyes were filled with so much emotion he looked as if he were on the brink of tears. Kurt also could feel the familiar prickle of tears behind his eyes. The crowd gave a rapturous applause but Kurt didn't even notice. He was just so heart broken. He missed being with Blaine. He LOVED Blaine and he always would. He was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with. He was the one he wanted to grow old with. But the fact that he cheated on Kurt just made everything more complicated. If Blaine loved him, why did he cheat on him? Why? Kurt was sick and tired of it all. With tear filled eyes, he ran out of there as fast as his legs could carry him.
Ps: Try listening to Endless love when you read that part to really get the feel of it. :D
