Notes:

Here we go, guys, the Klaine ending! I know a lot of you have been waiting patiently for this and I am so excited to finally share it. I haven't finished writing the Klaine ending because life suddenly got supper busy but I hopefully will soon. Enjoy.

I should add that the beginning of both endings is the same for a few paragraphs.

Ending 2 - Klaine

Chapter Twenty Six

Brittany was standing between two suits with cardboard cut outs of him and Blaine and Kurt faintly remembered when Sebastian had told him all about the shrine that Sue had to him and Blaine.

Brittany starting talking at once and Kurt didn't know what was going on, but he listened while Brittany rambled on. Blaine stood at his one side and Sebastian at the other with Sue seemingly guarding the door and as Brittany continued on Kurt started to understand. It was another attempt at getting him and Blaine back together.

"Okay," he said.

"I still don't get what you're talking about, though," Blaine said and when Kurt looked at him he did look confused.

Sebastian didn't. "Oh," he said

"Yes, you do," Kurt said, "just think about it."

"It's like a fake elevator again," Sebastian said with a roll of his eyes and Kurt turned to look at him.

He hadn't expected for something like this to happen, for Sue and Brittany to just ambush him and push him towards Blaine. He turned to look at Sebastian, but Sebastian didn't meet his eyes and Kurt knew that he understood it too.

"What Brittany is saying, Blaine," Sue said, "is that out of your love for your love, we have conspired to deceive and manipulate and yes, imprison you briefly all to reach this moment."

"Aha," Kurt said, "you admit it."

Sue shrugged her shoulders.

"We have two tuxes, do we have two grooms?"

They wanted them to get married? It was one thing for them to push for a reunion, but marriage. Kurt shook his head at once and when he looked at Blaine he found him wide eyed but thoughtful. But it wasn't Blaine that spoke. It was Sebastian.

"Don't get married," he said, "not because I want to be with you, Kurt, or because it would break my heart, but because this is not the wedding you deserve. It's not the wedding either of you deserve. But, Sue is right. You and Blaine belong together. And this is me bowing out. I will always be your friend, but just give me a few days. Just talk to him."

Kurt was surprised when Sebastian hugged his tightly, kissed him on the forehead and when passing by Blaine, pat his back. Then, he was gone and Kurt felt only a slight urge to go after him. The urge to look at Blaine and to talk to Blaine and really figure everything out was stronger and Kurt knew that he hadn't moved on.

"Sebastian is right," Kurt said, "we can't get married today."

"Well, fuck this, then," Santana said, suddenly coming out from behind the changing curtain, "can we get on with my wedding?"

Kurt ignored her, moving closer to Blaine and reaching for his hands. "We can talk after. There's a lot and we'll have to take it slow."

"Sure," Blaine said and there was tiny smile on his lips.

Even though he felt light knowing that he and Blaine were getting to a point of being on the same page, he could feel a small pang of regret over Sebastian. It would take some time to get over him.

The wedding went off without a hitch and he and Blaine walked down the aisle between Rachel walking with Sam and Tina walking with Mike. Brittany and Santana walked to the altar on their own and Kurt could tell that the two of them were more concerned with each other than anyone else there.

As soon as the ceremony was over and they had all walked back down the aisle, Kurt pulled Blaine outside.

"They won't miss us," Kurt whispered.

Blaine nodded.

"I, um, when I came to see you the other day I had every intention of getting back together with you," Kurt said and didn't meet Blaine's eyes.

Blaine took his hands. "I sort of got that," he said, "you left me so confused."

Kurt nodded. "It was Sebastian," Kurt said, "I really care for him. And choosing just became impossible because I have feelings for you, obviously, but everything with Sebastian was muddled in that too."

"Oh, Kurt," Blaine said.

Kurt moved a bit closer. He wasn't sure what he wanted to say exactly, because it was all still a lot confusing and he didn't know if he could just jump into a relationship with Blaine again.

"Can we take this slow?" Kurt asked.

"Anything you want," Blaine said.

Kurt laughed and shook his head. "No," he said, "not unless it's what you want too. You can't think what I want is more important. It's something I noticed, something that was pointed out to me about us, about how much control I needed to have."

"Of course I want this," Blaine said, "I love you and we've both made a lot of mistakes but that's something that none of those mistakes could change and if I've learned anything it's that we have to give each other space and time and that I can't just blame myself for everything. And that I have to do things for me and not just for us and what I want is to be with you even if we end up breaking up again or married with like four kids or something."

Kurt couldn't help but smile even though he still didn't think he was as sure as Blaine was about the whole thing. He let himself just listen to the music coming from inside the barn to distract himself before he responded.

"It was my fault," he said.

"Well, I could argue that I didn't make things easy."

They stood in silence for a while, Blaine just holding Kurt's hands, and Kurt feeling like Blaine's hold on him was grounding him and making things clearer.

"We should head back in there," Kurt said.

Blaine nodded and they walked hand in hand back to the party. A dance floor had been opened up in the middle of the room and plenty of people were dancing including Brittany and Santana.

"Come on," Kurt said, "let's dance."

He pulled Blaine out to the dance floor and he ignored the look that Rachel gave them or how Mercedes seemed to want to grab him and question him. Instead he focused on Blaine.

They danced for a while, and then they went to find their seats. Rachel and Sam immediately sat down with them.

"Are you two back together?" Rachel asked.

Kurt looked at Blaine and then he shook his head. "We are both single and friends."

"Sebastian left," Rachel said, "he didn't look happy."

Kurt sighed. "I know," he said.

Blaine took his hand, giving it a squeeze and Kurt smiled at him.

They spent the weekend after the wedding talking in Kurt's room and Burt and Carole seemed to be only happy to leave them alone and by the time that everything had been hashed out, Blaine felt like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders and from the way that Kurt smiled at him, he knew that Kurt felt the same way.

"We would have always found our way back to each other," Kurt said on Sunday night as they walked down to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"I didn't think we would," Blaine said, "for a while there I really thought I was over you."

"Well," Kurt said, "I'm glad that we can have another beginning. It would have happened now or years from now, but I was sure it would."

"You were always more sure," Blaine said.

He watched Kurt as he peered into his fridge. "Sandwiches sound alright?" he asked.

"Yeah," Blaine said.

Even though it felt right to be with Kurt, there was no denying that there was a bit of lingering awkwardness. They had talked about mostly everything but Blaine was still processing everything and he could tell that Kurt was as well. There was also, of course, the fact that the two of them had just come out of relationships.

It was the one thing they hadn't talked about yet. Blaine knew that he had never been in love with Dave. He had never fooled himself enough to believe that despite how much he had cared about him. Still, Blaine knew that it was Kurt that needed more time. What he and Sebastian had was different, and Blaine could tell that Kurt wasn't over Sebastian quite yet.

They ate in the kitchen, and headed back up to Kurt's room and Kurt grabbed his hand as they walked back into his room.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Wrong?"

"You look like you've been thinking," Kurt said.

Blaine nodded slowly. "I just – we didn't talk about Sebastian. Or Dave. We didn't talk about him either. I want to be sure that we've cleared the air."

Kurt pulled him towards the bed and after Blaine had sat down, Kurt paced in front of him.

"I was falling for him," he admitted, "but even though I cared about him that way and I know he cared for me there was always a part of me that knew I belonged with you and I'm sure I made the right choice. I know it would be you even if Sebastian and I dated for another month or another year sooner or later I knew that I would seek you out again."

He stopped in front of Blaine, and he could tell that Kurt wasn't lying.

"I told you I would need some time," Kurt said, "I just didn't think that he would mean so much to me and part of that is just the friendship – the fact that I know he's hurting because of me. You and Dave were together longer than that. I mean, you understand, don't you?"

He did, except that he didn't when it came to Dave. Their break up had been easy and simple and Blaine had been so ready to let go of that relationship that it almost felt like it had happened in a dream.

Kurt stepped closer and Blaine was surprised when he cupped his face. "I said we can take this slow, but that doesn't mean just being friends. We can, I don't know, we can date. Get caught up in each other again. So much has happened. I don't even know what you're planning to do with your future now or anything. And for all that we've talked it's been about the past."

"Okay," Blaine whispered.

Kurt pressed his lips against his. "Good," he said.

They saw each other as often as they could over the next week, but Blaine got caught up in Warbler rehearsals and Kurt was as equally busy with The New Directions despite the fact that he had Rachel and also Mr. Shuester to help out too.

Despite how busy they were they went on a date about halfway through the week.

"I regret not marrying you," Kurt said after they sat down, "because we may have gotten a honeymoon and I wouldn't have had to deal with Myron. He may have even put me off ever having children."

"Oh come on," Blaine said, "he can't be that bad."

Kurt shuddered. "He's worse."

Blaine laughed, "Does that mean that your glee club isn't getting any practice this week?"

"Of course it does, Mr. Warbler. I mean, they're singing and doing their own thing but we're not exactly preparing for Sectionals or anything. The way it's always been."

They steered the conversation away from glee clubs and Blaine asked for all the gossip from New York that he'd missed.

"How is Elliott? And Dani?"

Kurt grinned at him. "Well, I told you about how great they got along with Sebastian."

Blaine laughed. "Oh, right," he said, "but I guess the whole Elliott and Sebastian thing didn't happen?"

"They're really good friends. Who knows what the future might bring. But, no, they're both fine. Dani has a new girlfriend. Let's see, what else happened…"

Blaine listened while Kurt shared his stories about the people they knew from NYADA. Professors and students alike were not safe from Kurt's comments about them.

"I kept calling Elliott the first week after we broke up," Kurt admitted, "to just tell him all the things I kept seeing that I wanted to share with you. He and Sebastian really helped me out. You know, Bas is the one that got me to admit I wasn't over you and that I needed help. He and Elliott did try to talk me out of coming back to Lima but I just wanted you back so badly."

"Who would have thought," Blaine said, "that we'd end up dating David Karofksy and Sebastian Smythe."

"No one," Kurt said and smiled a little, "but we were always meant to go back to each other sooner or later."

They changed subject again, and it was like back in the old days when they could talk for hours about nothing and everything because every opinion needed to be voiced.

"You kept up with reading vogue I hope," Kurt said and Blaine rolled his eyes.

"Of course I did, what did you think?"

"Good, good. Hey, I don't know what kinds of things could have changed in the time you lived with Karofksy. Did you even have anything in common?" He wrinkled his nose but Blaine knew he was just joking.

"There were a few things," Blaine said.

"What? Me and football?"

Kurt let out a sigh. "Sorry," he said, "you've been great about me getting over Sebastian and yet I bring that up."

Blaine shrugged his shoulders. "It's okay. I just have to ask one question."

"What?"

"Were you his first boyfriend?"

Kurt nodded his head.

"Well he got a good one. I was something like Dave's twentieth? Seriously, it freaked me out a bit how many guys he'd been with and he and I had a few things in common but mostly it was football. Anyway, did I tell you Cooper e-mailed me yesterday?"

On they went, to safer topics that didn't need to handled with care, and by the time that they had polished off their meals and then the slices of cheesecake Kurt insisted on ordering for them, they were laughing, hands and fingers intertwined on the table.

"How are you really feeling?" Rachel asked.

Kurt shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to her. They were free from the Glee club for the moment because Mr. Shuester was teaching them some dance steps.

"I'm happy," Kurt said, "I mean, I miss Sebastian and I'm waiting for him to contact me, but I think I made the right decision. I mean, Blaine and I are forever. He's my soulmate. I just. I'm scared. I'm scared that it'll happen again. That I'll give up on us or that Blaine will."

Rachel stood up and she closed the folder she'd been looking through, slamming it down on the desk.

"Kurt Hummel," she said, "I cannot believe you. Scared? You're scared of what, of getting hurt, or of the possibility that true love isn't easy? I lost the person I loved. I lost him, Kurt, and that hurts more than a fight or not getting along. It kills me even now and Blaine is that for you and you can't be scared. You can't walk away from true love just because there is no guarantee. More than anyone you should know that."

There were tears in her eyes and Kurt rounded the desk to her side to hug her and she fell into him and Kurt knew that he was close to crying too. After all, she was right. And hadn't Sebastian told him the same thing? He was being too cautious. He loved Blaine. He knew he did, and furthermore he knew that Blaine loved him and fears that the past would repeat itself or that some other obstacle would come in their way shouldn't be keeping him from going after the relationship he really wanted with Blaine.

"You're right," he said, "I have to go see Blaine."

He wiped his cheeks and right under his eyes and took a deep breath.

"Finn would happy to see you move on," he said, "he would want you to be happy."

"Thank you," she said and her smile was shaky, "now, go."

He didn't run out of McKinley, or rush on his drive over to Dalton, but once he got there, he almost left his key in the ignition in his rush out of his car because smoke and he thought he even spotted flames, came from Dalton and two firetrucks were parked in front of his former school and firemen were pointing hoses at the school and a few were rushing into the school as well.

"Oh, no," he said, taking in the scene. He was walking right into a nightmare.

There were students outside and Kurt recognized a few teachers but in the crowd of blazer clad students he couldn't see Blaine anywhere. He moved forwards with feet that wanted to collapse under him, until he reached one of the teachers.

"Where is Blaine? Blaine Anderson, the Warbler coach?"

The teacher shook his head. "I don't know," he said and he sounded shocked.

"Is everyone out? Did everyone make it outside? At least tell me that?"

"I think so," the teacher said shakily, "I really hope so."

Kurt sighed and he pulled out his phone, trying Blaine's phone first, but after a couple of rings it just went straight to voice mail. He tried a couple of times more, but there was no answer.

"Oh no," he whispered and walked towards other crowds, trying to find someone that had some information and searching for Blaine and for any of the kids that remembered belonging to The Warblers.

"Mr. Hummel?"

He turned and a familiar Dalton student stepped towards him.

"Where's Blaine? Mr. Anderson?" He asked at once.

"We don't know," the student said, "we've been looking for him, but we weren't at practice or anything."

Kurt gasped. "Oh god," he said, "this can't be…no…not like this." He could feel his eyes well up with tears again.

He loved him. He loved Blaine and he'd been stupid and tried to keep him at arm's length to protect himself and just get used to the idea of the two of them again. He had been so stupid. Blaine needed to be okay. He just needed to be.

Author's Note: We have reached the second ending and it's been a different experience to write this ending than the other one. I've never done the whole alternative ending thing before and it's been fun to do.

So one thing I want to talk about is Sebastian. In the very first scene of this ending and the Kurtbastian ending Sebastian is the one character that acts differently. While I felt that Sebastian was in love with Kurt...I also felt like in the Kurtbastian ending that he needed to be more in love with Kurt and than in the Klaine ending. I wanted to make the choice Kurt makes reflect the fact that he's essentially choosing his "soulmate" even though a lot of the two endings thing is also about showing that happiness can be achieved as long as there is love and respect and between people that are in a relationship.

So in the one ending Sebastian is very clearly heartbroken in that scene and he leaves...in this ending he let's go of Kurt at once, is heartbroken, and yet knows that he will get over it and be okay. I think the Sebastian in the Kurtbastian ending would not have been okay as quickly. In a way this was also written this way because I wanted to be able to have Sebastian move on quickly.

On another note, Klaine is in a very different place here than Kurtbastian was and it was really interesting to explore that and not do what the show did. I didn't want to follow canon when it came to the wedding. It also allowed me to touch on the fire at Dalton and just how that would affect Kurt and Blaine if they were still in Ohio.

So, there it is. Thank you for reading and waiting for this ending.
