Prompt: Spike - "When I say, "I love you,"it's not because I want you or because I can't have you. It has nothing to do with me. I love what you are, what you do, how you try. I've seen your kindness and your strength. I've seen the best and the worst of you. And I understand with perfect clarity exactly what you are." - 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
AN: Because I need to post something uplifting today...
As he watched the newly married couple enjoy their first dance, the time he had spent working with Finn this past week clearly showing, Kurt went over his speech. He was honored that his stepbrother had asked him to be his best man. After everything the two of them had been through, this finally eliminated even the minuscule doubt he had still harbored about Finn accepting him. Kurt hoped that his speech would convey that.
Applause filling the room brought Kurt out of his thoughts. He absently joined in as Finn and Rachel made his way back to the head table. As Finn sat down beside him, Kurt got to his feet as the DJ introduced him. Walking to the stage, he took the microphone from the DJ and then turned to face the gathered guests. Holding up the champagne glass in one hand, Kurt began to address the crowd.
"The statistics on high school sweethearts staying together aren't good but when two people are meant to be together they'll find away. Finn and Rachel are one of those couples. The past three years since we graduated have been rocky for them but it's those complications which make a relationship stronger as my relationship with Finn is testament to."
"Back in our sophomore year, if someone would have told me I would still be talking to Finn after high school, I would have called them crazy. That was the year however that our lives started to come together. First he joined glee club, then we got teamed up for an assignment, our parents started dating and then we became brothers and I couldn't ask for a better person to call my brother. Finn, the two of us have seen each other at our worst and at our best. We understand each other in a way that I once wouldn't have dreamed possible. I only want the best for you and today, I think you've got that."
"No one knows better than me how difficult Rachel can be with to live at times," Kurt said lightly, shooting a smile at his roommate of the last three years. "But all her quirks are worth putting up with because when it counts she's always there to help you out. I wish only the best for the two of you. A guy couldn't ask for two better people to call brother and sister. Here's to forever," Kurt said, raising his glass to the newly weds as the crowd echoed his last two words.
Leaving the dance floor, Kurt walked back to the table and into the waiting embrace of his stepbrother.
