A/N: Again, as always, I want to start off by thanking everyone who's read/reviewed or added this story to their favorites/alerts so far. Originally this story was going to be about six chapters, but that obviously isn't going to happen seeing as the characters love running away with themselves. I'm not complaining though because that just makes every chapter a surprise for me as well as you guys. :D

On a side note, I had so much fun writing this chapter. Blaine is just too adorable.

The disco episode was awesome. What did you all think of it?

i'm updating from school right now before my class but you all definitely deserve it. :D

Disclaimer: Again, I own nothing but my twisted mind and the OCs you meet in this story. The songs mentioned will be brought up in the ending author's note.

Enjoy!


"Oh. My. God."

While Kurt and Blaine had said the exact same sentence at the exact same time, their tones couldn't have been more different.

Blaine was beyond excited. Know how everyone usually referred to him as an easily excitable puppy? Well, that moniker fit him perfectly at the moment. But who could blame him? He hadn't seen this girl now standing before him in ages. They used to be the best of friends in his younger years, but due to the sudden move his family took due to the bullying getting worse, he hadn't seen or talked to her. He never even had the chance to really say goodbye then. To see her now was beyond his imagination, and coincidentally something he could now cross off his bucket list.

Kurt was completely shocked. There wasn't any other word for it. He loved Hannah to death, she was his favorite cousin on his mother's side after all, but he hadn't expected to see her here. They usually only met up at family dinners and such. By the look on her face, Hannah knew exactly what she was doing with that innocent smile and coy wave.

Blaine bounced on the balls of his feet, torn between standing beside his husband and rushing over to greet his old friend. He really wanted to catch up with Tori, but it was his wedding reception for goodness' sake and he couldn't just leave his husband to fend with all of the well-wishers on his own. Besides, Blaine was very curious to find out who the girl waving to Kurt was. He'd never seen her before so he figured she must be someone from Kurt's extended family.

Kurt could feel the energy radiating off of his puppy of a husband and turned to see Blaine had his 'excited puppy' look on his face. Kurt rolled his eyes fondly at the sight. Some things he hoped would never change.

"Yes, Blaine. You may go speak with your friend while I interrogate my cousin. We'll do introductions in about fifteen minutes. Sound good?"

"YES!" And with that, Blaine rushed over, grabbed Tori by her arm, and dragged her off to the refreshments table so they could chat and catch up for the allotted fifteen minutes. Before they were out of sight, Kurt could see Tori reprimanding Blaine for his tight grip. While Kurt didn't know the girl yet, he had a feeling they'd get along well.

Once his husband was out of sight, Kurt turned to his cousin. New Directions and the Warblers were nowhere to be seen, which had Kurt a bit anxious, but seeing his cousin overrode any of those feelings for the time being.

"Hannah!"

"Kurt!"

The two hugged tightly, laughing as they did so. It felt so much longer than five months since the last time they had seen each other.

"How have you been?" Kurt asked genuinely.

"I've been good. Not as happy as you," Hannah teased, "but happy all the same."

Kurt chuckled. "Any boys I need to know about?"

"Kurt." The threat implied in the mere saying of his name had Kurt in hysterics. Hannah was so sweet that her threats were a bit hopeless. She wouldn't even hurt a fly. Kurt knew this for a fact because they'd been in such a situation before and instead of smacking it with a flyswatter like anyone else would have, Hannah had opened a window and somehow coaxed the fly outside instead.

"Is that a yes or a no?"

"It's a 'If I want you to know, I'll let you know.'"

Kurt pouted. "Aww, you're no fun."

"You're the one who didn't even tell me about this shindig. So if anyone is no fun, it'd be you."

Kurt looked rightfully guilty. "I swear I was going to invite you. Everything just kind of piled up. I left the familial invitations up to Carole and I guess I left your name off the list on accident. I'm so sorry."

"It's alright. I can understand that," Hannah consoled. "But next time you plan on doing something fun or something this big, don't forget your favorite cousin," she chided.

"I knew I loved you for a reason."

"How could anyone ever resist me?"

Kurt laughed. "I'm sure. Want to grab something to drink? I'm parched."

"Sure," she agreed easily. She tucked her arm under Kurt's and gestured with her other hand. "Lead the way, my good sir."

Kurt laughed again. If there was one thing he would say about Hannah, it would be that she always kept him laughing. He tightened his hold on her arm and mock bowed. "Right this way, my good lady."

He led them toward the refreshments table of the small buffet they had set out for the guests and grabbed two cups. In the planning stages, Kurt had worried having a buffet at the reception would cause trouble, but so far the guests seemed to be enjoying spending time munching on light snacks while talking with each other in between dances. He smiled at his work and turned to his cousin to ask what she would like to drink.

"Some Coke would be fine."

Kurt nodded and filled one glass with Coke while he filled his own class with some water. He had time later for something stronger and he wanted to stay hydrated after being on his feet for so long.

Hannah, noticing Kurt's wayward thoughts, broke his reverie by poking him in the side. Kurt squeaked, quite an undignified sound for the usually dignified man, and mock glared at her. Hannah smiled in return and soon the two were caught in fits of giggles.

"I've - missed you - so much," Kurt gasped between giggles.

"Me too," Hannah replied.

Kurt calmed himself as quickly as he could, looking around the room for his husband as he did so. It was almost time for introductions to be made and Kurt was excited to find out more about the girl that had made Blaine so happy just by being there. He saw the two of them sitting at a table near the small stage, conversing comfortably and laughing whenever Blaine made one of his large hand gestures.

"Feel like officially meeting my official husband?" Kurt asked with a grin.

Hannah nodded excitedly. "Yes! Uncle Burt talks him up all the time while you're gone and I can't wait to actually talk to him."

Kurt smiled. Blaine seemed to have that effect on people. "Great. Come on."


After grabbing the both of them a drink, Blaine led Tori to a table in front of the stage so they could sit down and catch up. After hours of being on his feet, it felt nice to finally sit down for a while. Blaine sighed contentedly as he lowered himself into the chair, prompting a few giggles for the girl now seated across from him. He took a sip from his glass of iced tea and glanced questioningly at the girl he had used to be so close to.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing," Tori replied. "Nothing at all."

Blaine raised a triangular eyebrow doubtfully in response, which caused yet another round of giggles. "Seriously, what is it?"

Tori rolled her eyes fondly. "You haven't changed a bit. Still clueless and with all of your old habits."

"What old habits? And I am not clueless."

"Blaine, you have no clue what I'm talking about and they're your habits. I think that could be considered the definition of cluelessness."

"I resent that statement," Blaine pouted.

"You only resent it because you know it's true," Tori retorted.

Blaine sighed resignedly. "Fine. You win. Happy now?"

Tori grinned. "I am actually. But not for the reasons you think."

"Then why are you happy?" Blaine challenged.

"See? Clueless again," she teased. "I'm happy because I get to see you!"

Blaine nodded. "Makes sense. I am pretty awesome, aren't I?"

"Totally awesome," she agreed. "Now, when do I get to meet your husband? You did just get married, didn't you?"

"I did. Well, he and I did; it's a special day for both of us. Kurt's very special to me. He has gorgeous eyes that change colors between blue and green, and grey if he gets especially emotional. His hair is always perfect, even when he's just woken up in the morning or just out of the shower. I don't know how he does it, to be honest. He has an amazing sense of style and his clothes are always high fashion, unless he's sick. If he gets sick I force him to stay in bed, resulting in no need for pretty clothes." Blaine sighed happily and Tori couldn't help but smile at her friend. It had been so long since the two of them had talked, but they just fell into like no time had passed at all. It was a great feeling to know that Blaine was still so comfortable with her, even after all she had missed out on in his life.

Tori smiled softly as Blaine continued to ramble about his significant other. She hoped she could be that happy with someone someday. "What else? What are his interests?"

"He loves cooking healthy stuff, fashion magazines, Broadway tunes, music in general, shopping (definitely shopping), and he cares deeply for his friends and family. He lost his mom when he was pretty young and he's really close with his dad. He has Finn as a step-brother and Carole as a step-mother so he basically has a full family again. He's not really into sports but since his dad is a mechanic he's really good at fixing cars and he's really knowledgeable about different makes and models. He reads a lot and is really into poetry. Once I convinced him to write a poem and allow me to set it to music. That was really fun." Blaine smiled at the memory. Maybe Kurt still had the sheet music for that… "Enough about me though. How about you? How have things been for you over the last few years?"

Blaine was genuinely interested in her life and Tori couldn't resist smiling. If there was one thing to be said about Blaine Anderson, it was that he could make nearly anybody smile with his charm and humor and adorable cluelessness. She debated telling Blaine about how she had despised him at first for leaving her so suddenly. But she knew that would be selfish. This was his special day and she wasn't about to ruin how happy he was. It was neither the time nor the place to bring up their troubled past so she decided to answer with the most used answer in the world and do into more detail at some other time. Because there would definitely be another time. Now that she had Blaine back in her life, she was determined to be his friend again. And Kurt's and Hannah's too.

"I've been alright. Better now though that I've seen you." The two shared a laugh before she continued. "I moved to Columbus shortly after high school was over. I just couldn't bear staying in that small town anymore. It was so restricting and I hated it. I swore I was going to get out, like you did. And now I have and I couldn't be happier."

"Any boys I need to be worried about?"

Tori sighed. "No, Blaine. No boys for you to worry about."

"Any girls?"

"Blaine."

"What? I'm just asking. It has been a while since we've seen each other. How am I to know which body parts you're into nowadays?"

"Let's not talk about me anymore. That was just… ew."

"You're no fun."

"How did you and Kurt meet?" Tori inquired excitedly. Cute couples such as Blaine and Kurt always had amazing first meeting stories.

"Well, it's a funny story actually," Blaine chuckled. He loved telling the story of how he and Kurt met. "See it was during my sophomore year in high school and I attended a private all-boys school in Westerville called Dalton. I was the lead singer in the Glee Club there. I was almost late on my way to an impromptu performance with the Warblers-"

"And I just happened to be on the staircase he was madly running down," interrupted a voice from somewhere to their right.

Tori turned to see Hannah and who she assumed must be Kurt making their way over to the table. She waved at Hannah who returned the gesture. They had bonded over being kidnapped by the grooms' friends and persuaded into participating in a plan for two people they really cared about and missed dearly.

Once they were close enough, Hannah and Kurt joined the two at the table, Hannah sitting in an empty seat next to Tori and Kurt sitting in the empty seat next to Blaine. Blaine immediately wrapped his arm around Kurt's shoulder and Kurt shifted in his chair so he could lean his head against Blaine's shoulder. The girls both sighed admiringly at the seemingly automatic movement. The newlyweds were so in love they probably didn't even notice. Both girls hoped to have that sort of happiness and love someday.

"Hey you," Blaine greeted as he kissed Kurt quickly on the cheek. "I was just about to tell Tori about how we met."

"I noticed," Kurt replied after he had repeated the gesture.

"Then I guess I got here just in time," Hannah commented merrily.

"Please continue," Tori requested.

"Right so, as my husband so eloquently put it, Kurt just happened to ask me what was going on. He was pretending to be new and had actually been there to spy on the Warblers and report his findings back to his own team, not that I knew at the time. I was sort of in a hurry so I decided to just take him with me, so I grabbed his hand and pulled him down the hallway through this shortcut I knew of."

"A shortcut which had us somehow being the last people to arrive," Kurt pointed out teasingly.

"Yes, yes," Blaine retorted dismissively. "Anyway, I was so caught up in hurrying that I didn't have time to really look at him until I started singing."

"What song were you singing?" Hannah eagerly demanded to know.

"Teenage Dream by Katy Perry."

Tori burst out laughing and the other three people sitting at the table turned to her, bemused.

"It's just – it's just so Blaine," she choked out between gasps.

Kurt nodded his head as if that answer was perfectly suitable to the situation. Hannah merely smiled in amusement at her new friend's hysterics. Blaine did not look amused and maybe even a tiny bit offended.

"Anyway," he continued despite Tori's slowly dying laughter, "I couldn't take my eyes off of him. Afterwards we went for coffee and he told me about what he dealt with at school and after that how could I not be there for him?"

Hannah nodded in agreement while Tori looked on questioningly.

Kurt looked in Tori direction and explained. "I was bullied very badly in high school, especially my junior year. There was a certain guy who made it his mission to tear me down. It turned out he was gay himself, but he refused to accept it and was so deep in the closet that Narnia was jealous. Eventually I talked to him about it and he learned to accept himself. Then he was outed by some jock at his new school and he almost killed himself. I was there and it broke me to see him that way."

"But didn't he do horrible things to you?"

"He did," Kurt consented, "but no one deserves to go through something like that, even a Neanderthal like Karofsky."

"What happened to him?"

"He went to counseling, got out of his father's grasp, and now he's happy and living in Florida somewhere if I remember correctly. We still correspond every once in a while, but it's been a while since I've talked to him last."

Blaine smiled the entire time Kurt spoke. As much as he hated Karofsky, he was so proud of Kurt and all of the adversity he had overcome in his life. He'd become so happy and successful despite all the people and events that tried to break him. His heart swelled at the thought of how far Kurt had come. How far they had both come.

"So, what was your first impression of Blaine?"

Kurt's cheeks flushed at the question and Blaine looked on quizzically. In all of their years as a couple no one had ever asked that particular question, and by the look on Kurt's face the answer would be either really embarrassing or very endearing.

"Honestly?" At Tori's nod, Kurt continued. "Well, truthfully, I thought his hair was atrocious covered in all of that gel." Blaine chuckled appreciatively and ran his hand through his less gelled (but still just a tad for style, he argued mentally) curly mop of hair.

"After I got over that fact, my next thought would have been that he looked utterly gorgeous."

The girls cooed and Blaine grinned. Ha, even from the first time they met Kurt had thought he was gorgeous. If that wasn't a confidence booster, then Blaine didn't know what was. What was better than a compliment from someone of Kurt's caliber?

"And you, Blaine? What was your first impression of Kurt?"

"As I said earlier, I couldn't take my eyes away. I guess my first thought was over how flawless his skin was. And then I saw his eyes changing color and I thought it was a trick of the light, but it wasn't. On top of it all, he looked so… in awe. Like he'd never seen someone sing before. I took that as a compliment though. The fact that I had seemingly made someone speechless."

The couple shared a loving glance. The girls, meanwhile, jumped when both their cells phones vibrated at the same time. Surreptitiously, they both removed their phones from the bags and opened the newest message. A message right now either meant that Kurt and Blaine's friends were ready to perform or somehow one of their own friends had forgotten the 'no texting at weddings' rule.

From Wes:

The show is a go.

(A/N: I have a confession. I almost ended the chapter right here. But I knew how horrible of a person that would make me, so I didn't. :D)

The girls grinned elatedly at each other, thankfully going unnoticed by Kurt and Blaine who were currently drowning in each other's eyes.

A single beep sounded across the room over the sound system and everyone instantly grew silent. Soon a single voice drifted over the speakers.

As we go on, we remember

All the times we, had together

As our lives change, come whatever

We will still be, friends forever

Kurt smiled as he recognized Tina's voice and also at the lyrics themselves. It was such a corny, cliché song choice but he couldn't help himself. His friends were such dorks, insane dorks, but he loved them all nonetheless.

"A round of applause for Tina Cohen-Chang," Wes announced as he walked to the center of the small stage that now had a spotlight shining on the center with dim red and blue lights around the edges. The crowd clapped enthusiastically in response.

"Now, for those of you who don't remember me, although I have no idea how you could possibly forget me, my name is Wes. I'm one of Blaine's close friends. Where you at, Blainers?" Blaine reluctantly raised a hand and was rewarded with whistles and applause. "There you are. With Kurt, of course. Where else would you be?"

"Just be glad they're not getting wanky," shouted a voice from somewhere in the darkness on the side of the stage. It was obviously Santana and Kurt had to resist the urge to reprimand her with a few choice words.

"Very true," Wes agreed. "But, as much as I'm sure you'd enjoy that, that is not what I'm standing up here for right now. Now, we have a surprise performance for our adorable newlyweds. It is my honor to present to all of you here tonight, The Warbler Directions! Clever name, don't you think?"

Laughter and applause mingled in the air as the stage once again went dark. Some loud shuffling and muffled swear words filled the silence of the room. Kurt had never been more anxious. What were they possibly up to now? Did he even want to know? What if they had prepared some skit including a version of Jizzed In My Pants or some equally embarrassing song?

Kurt sighed in relief as he recognized the accompaniment that began to play over the speakers. The lights came back on and Kurt smiled as he watched his friends get into position. The New Directions members formed two lines in the front half of the stage while the Warblers were placed similarly in the back half. Rachel, Mercedes, Quinn, Tina, Brittany, and Santana stepped forward and sang the first two lines.

If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea, I'll sail the world to find you.

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see, I'll be the light to guide you.

Then Finn, Puck, Artie, Sam, and Mike stepped forward and took the next line.

Find out what we're made of, when we are called to help our friends in need.

Both choirs joined together on the chorus and the sound was completely wonderful.

You can count on me like 1, 2, 3. I'll be there.

And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4, 3, 2. And you'll be there.

Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah.

The Warblers took on the vocables in between the chorus and the verse, the choir shifting positions as they did so.

Wes, David, Nick, Jeff, and Thad stepped forward and sang the first two lines together in the same fashion the New Directions girls had.

If you're talking and you're turning and you just can't fall asleep, I'll sing a song beside you.

And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me, every day I will remind you. Oh.

Trent, John, and three other Warblers (named Rob, Paul, Walter, Kurt learned later) stepped forward to sing the next line.

Find out we're made of, when we are called to help our friends in need.

The choirs joined together again to sing the chorus but instead of separating into their original positions, they mingled together. Brittany and Mike joined with David at the forefront of the stage to dance wildly together. Wes and Thad joined Santana and Tina. Rachel and Quinn were singing along with Nick and Jeff. Finn and Puck were rolling Artie around throughout the room, encouraging the younger patrons to sing along and the older ones to dance. Sam was the only one unoccupied and Kurt soon learned that it was because he was taking on the next verse on his own.

You'll l always have my shoulder when you cry.

I'll never let go, never say goodbye.

You know you can

The entire room joined in on the final chorus. Seemingly the older invitees had learned enough of the words.

Cause I can count on you.

The room exploded with laughter, whistles, and applause once the song finished. Kurt was smiling wider than he had since he and Blaine exchanged their vows hours earlier. Today was turning out to be one of the greatest days in Kurt's young life.

Before Kurt knew it, he and Blaine were being crowded in all directions by their friends, who were in turn being crowded around by everyone else. It filled Kurt with a fluttering in his stomach to know that all of these people were happy for him, would stand by his side.

Blaine smiled at the soft look of joy on Kurt's face. His eyes shone in the sparse lighting and Blaine couldn't help but fell his heart swell yet again. He was beyond lucky to have the man beside him and he knew that. He would never let Kurt go as long as he had a say in it.

Kurt felt someone's eyes on him and turned to see his husband grinning at him. Kurt smiled in return and the two shared a loving kiss as the people around them "aww"ed and whistled. It was chaos, but it was something Kurt thrived in.

The rest of the night was spent with friends and family, dancing, eating, and drinking the night away. In the morning Kurt and Blaine would leave for the one week honeymoon at whatever location Blaine had chosen. Kurt was kept in the dark because Blaine knew how much he hated not having control over things.

As the clock ticked closer to midnight, Kurt waved a final farewell to his family and pulled Blaine with him as they left to go to the hotel they would be staying at until it was time for their flight. The party would go on late into the night after they took their leave.


Once they had walked the short two blocks to their pre-booked hotel room where they belongings already were, Blaine checked them in and led Kurt to the elevator. It was a grand hotel, but simple all the same.

When they arrived outside their hotel room, Blaine gave Kurt the honors of opening the door and chuckled at the look on Kurt's face. Inside sat a plush king-sized canopy bed fitted with red linens, a soft cream rug, and dark wood dressers. The window across from them had a glorious view of Central Park. The door to the small bathroom sat ajar, revealing a glass shower. It wasn't much, but their room at their mystery (to Kurt at least) honeymoon spot was amazing. Blaine couldn't wait to see Kurt's face once they arrived there tomorrow. For now, this would do.

After a few minutes of watching Kurt fawn over the décor, Blaine convinced him to snuggle into the bed and get some sleep. They did have a big week ahead of them, after all.

The couple was lying comfortably in the bed, Kurt paying the little spoon this time around, when Kurt tried to get some information out of his husband.

"Are you going to tell me anything about what I can expect tomorrow?"

"Nope," Blaine replied. He chuckled as Kurt huffed. "Now, go to sleep."

"Fine," Kurt sighed. He crawled further back into Blaine's arms and was soon out like a light.

Blaine grinned and kissed the nape of Kurt's neck before he too allowed himself to fall into his dreams.


A/N: This was honestly one of my favorite chapters to write EVER. I was basically smiling the whole time. :] it ended up being a tiny bit longer than I expected, but oh well. Including song lyrics, it was almost 4,500 words. Also, this story is note 70 pages on Microsoft Word! :D (Which freaked my brother out when he saw it… lol. But then I should him the 90-something pages that is my other Klaine fic, Marry Me, and he was even more freaked out. His face was priceless.

The songs mentioned in this chapter that I DO NOT OWN: The Graduation Song (Friends Forever) by … (okay I sort of forgot who it was by, but I'll edit this later. The part of the song mentioned is something I know by heart so…) and Count on Me by Bruno Mars.

I'd love to know where you think our loving couple is going for their honeymoon! I'm always excited to hear what my readers want/think/like/dislike. So leave your thoughts in a review and I will be forever in your debt! :D
