Notes:

sorry, sorry, sorry. Meant to post a couple of days ago but I've gotten caught up in writing my 12 to 15 page paper and I actually just finished it today. There was also of course work and the fact that Darren Criss' opening night on Hedwig happened so I've been flailing about that on tumblr and it will only get worse once I get to see it (June is so far away!) But anyway, finally getting this one up here and just one more to go. Enjoy.

Ending 2 - Klaine

Chapter Thirty

About a year later

Blaine paused and backtracked until he was around the bend and he could peak around the corner to watch as Sebastian stepped out of Elliott's room. Elliott leaned against the doorframe and the two of them shuffled their feet awkwardly.

"So," Sebastian said and rubbed the back of his neck, "that was quite a wedding."

"It was," Elliott said and Blaine saw his face get red.

In his pocket Blaine felt his phone vibrate but he ignored it in order to keep watching them.

"I, um, I'm going to go to my room. See you later?" Sebastian said.

They shared an awkward hug and then Sebastian walked away. He had just gone down another hall when Elliott let out a loud groan and Blaine couldn't help but chuckle to himself before he started to walk towards him.

"I see that went well," he said.

Elliott glared at him. "Shouldn't you be with your husband?"

Blaine laughed. "Forgot my phone in my room," he said, "but we were heading out, flight to catch and all of that. Good luck with Sebastian."

Elliott groaned again and Blaine laughed as he walked past him towards the room he and Kurt had shared for their first night as husbands. It had been a long time coming, but finally at long last they were married. He played with the ring on his finger and as he walked he could still picture the day before. After long months of planning, fights with each other and with their friends, and losing one venue and picking up another one and switching the date of the ceremony no less than three times, they had finally gotten married.

Blaine almost had no memory of the ceremony itself except for Kurt standing in front of him with their hands held together. Their vows had been simple but heartfelt and the moment that he noticed Kurt starting to tear up he hadn't been able to help his own tears.

"I love you so much," Kurt whispered after they kissed to finalize the ceremony and Blaine just kissed him again harder.

Kurt laughed against him and then they made it down the aisle, hand in hand and smiling wide as their friends and family cheered. The whole of it was a blur to Blaine who had been too focused on watching Kurt. They were hugged and kissed and pictures were taken left and right and suddenly they found themselves at their reception.

Speeches were given by Rachel and Sam and Cooper and his mom and Burt each of them more emotional than the last and then there was food and drinks and more congratulations and small talk to make as they walked around the room never straying too far from each other and stealing kisses when they could.

"I am so proud of you," Burt said already looking like he'd been drinking as they passed him and Carole, "this day has bee amazing and I can't imagine either of you finding anyone else that would fit you better than each other and I am so happy that we got to be a part of it."

Carole hugged them both tightly.

As a promise to Elliott and Sebastian, they had made the effort to invite some of their single gay friends from school, but it had been for nothing because after a few drinks and a couple of dances the two of them were as inseparable as if they had arrived at the wedding together.

"I bet you twenty bucks they hook up," Blaine muttered to Kurt as they passed the two of them slow dancing together.

"Fifty that they don't but that they realize they're more than friends and get together," Kurt said back.

"I would say a hundred that both happen," Dani said and they all laughed as Dani passed Kurt a glass of champagne and then handed Blaine another, "cheers," she said.

He and Kurt had made the decision to keep their drinking to a minimum mostly because they wanted to enjoy their first night together and not be too hung over the next morning, but it didn't mean that their friends didn't try to ply them with drinks.

By the time they left the party, most of the older guests had already gone to their hotel rooms or in the case of Kurt's parents and his mom back to his and Kurt's apartment. They said goodbye to the few that noticed them leaving and then they checked into their hotel room.

A few of the other guests were staying there too and Sebastian and Elliott had both decided on getting rooms because they didn't want to have to make it back home and just in case they picked someone up at the wedding.

Blaine reached the room where he and Kurt had celebrated their wedding night and spotted his phone at once on the dresser. He took a look around to make sure nothing else was left behind and then he walked back the way he came.

"Took you long enough," Kurt said when he approached him.

"Well, I just saw Sebastian leaving Elliott's room," Blaine told him, "so I guess I was right."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Come on, husband, time to check out and be on our way."

"I like the sound of that, husband," Blaine said and kissed him quickly before turning and walking over to the desk.

They honeymooned in Europe for three weeks going to England and France and Italy because neither of them had ever been and Kurt vetoed going anywhere too sunny because of his skin.

"I'll come back the color of a tomato, Blaine," he'd argued when Blaine suggested them going to Mexico, "and neither of us knows any Spanish."

It had been his dad's suggestion that if they really wanted to leave the country that they go to England and Kurt had agreed at once because he was still a big fan of the royal family. Being away from home was nice, and there was something to be said about how relaxed things were.

Kurt particularly enjoyed England from the history to The West End.

"If I ever get a chance," he said to Blaine as they left one of the theaters one night, "I would love to come and do something here."

Kurt was fresh from his graduation from NYADA and already under his belt he had a few off Broadway shows that had for the most part not been too great. The plan was to really try and get a role after returning from their honeymoon.

"And I would tag right along with you," Blaine said.

When they got to Paris, Kurt was amazed by everything. They climbed to the top of the Eiffel Tower and took picture after picture. The food was amazing, but Kurt found himself amazed by all the clothes and the fashion that was so present everywhere they went. He was surprised by how well he managed the language and Sebastian had certainly helped him practice in the weeks leading up to the wedding.

Blaine loved Italy. They wound up visiting a few vineyards and doing wine tastings and Blaine who had managed to pick up a few courses in Italian at NYU tried to speak with the locals, constantly mixing up words and making Kurt laugh.

"You need more practice," Kurt told him after he tried to order them dinner and they wound up with nothing that they had planned to eat.

"Perhaps," Blaine said, "but anything here is delicious so you have no room to complain."

By the time that they had to leave, they were both ready and yet more than willing to keep exploring.

"We're definitely coming back and spending more time in these parts," Kurt told him, "there's so much we didn't get to see."

"Definitely," Blaine agreed and kissed him, "I'm so glad we did this."

A few days later, they were back in their apartment in New York which Carole and probably Pam had left cleaner than when Kurt and Blaine had left it the morning of the wedding and their jet lag was all but gone and they were ready to get back to their life.

For Blaine it meant working at the diner, and for Kurt that meant as well as going out for roles. In his spare time, Blaine was found behind his keyboard writing music and Kurt sometimes joined him to look over his shoulder as he wrote. It always impressed him.

"What are you planning on doing with all of that music?" Kurt asked him one night over dinner.

"Well," Blaine said, "a few of them I've already sent to Sam to use with the glee club but I've started working on something else a few weeks ago, after finding a couple of things from a little while ago. Now, I'm not much of a writer outside of music, but I was thinking that the music would work well for a musical."

"Oh, really," Kurt said, "are those the ones you refuse to show me?"

For all that Blaine usually worked in their living room, he was very secretive with some of the music he wrote. NYU had really been a better fit for him, offering him far more in form of classes towards his interest in composing and writing as well as languages and all the acting classes that he also needed to take.

"Yes," Blaine admitted, "but for good reason."

"Well," Kurt said, "I can write."

He wrote from all the time, and he was still proud of his Pippa Middleton musical for which Blaine had also written all the songs.

"Yes," Blaine said and pursed his lips, "I just - the music is about us and about everything that happened when we were in Ohio. Kurt, I was working on it way back then and I just. I have two central songs and I've been trying to tweak them to fit something else but it's all it fits."

Kurt nodded. "Okay," he said, "we can do this. I mean, I have a few friends from NYADA who know more about the creative process and Jesse has become a pretty good director. I'm going in for the play he's working on now. We can show him something. Do you have a plot or ideas of anything else aside from our past and a few songs?"

They got to work quickly, Blaine bringing out his notebook and after reading through his ideas Kurt could tell that Blaine had been writing about the two of them locked in the elevator.

"I mean, it was crazy," Blaine said, "the whole thing with Sue and the elevator and it made me think about how different things could have gone and I wrote a song about it and lately I've just been thinking this could be so much more."

The next few months were a blur and everyone that had said that marriage would change things was wrong but mostly because they had been living together already in the mindset of being married and being forever and because they took the time to really talk to each other.

By the time that summer was coming to an end, Kurt had started to really work on their musical and he and Blaine tried to figure out what kind of songs they wanted and where they wanted them as well as how to intertwine their own love story with the fictional one that would play out in the musical.

Kurt was cast in the play Jesse was working on but only as a Swing for all the major roles as well as a part of the ensemble and it gave him enough time to keep auditioning and to keep writing.

As September closed he got called back for a role in one of the touring companies of RENT.

"If you get it you have to take it," Blaine told him, "it doesn't matter that we'll be apart for a little while. You take it, alright. I'll be busy with school anyway."

He met up with Rachel before going to his audition. She was a semester away from being done with NYADA, but thanks for Jesse and all of his connections as well as her talent she already had a few more roles under her belt and Kurt was sure that she would get anything she tried out for.

"It's Rent, Kurt," Rachel said, "we love that musical, and they'll be nuts not to take you."

When he found out he was cast a few days later, they all went out to celebrate, inviting any of their friends that could come to one of the Karaoke places that they tended to frequent. Most of the time it was full of theater types. Actors and Actresses trying to make it and those who had and were trying to blow off some steam.

Elliott and Sebastian arrived together and Kurt was happy that the two of them had finally gotten to talking. They weren't fully together yet, opting for just casual dating and sleeping together on a regular basis. Kurt had always known that they would work well together and he hadn't been wrong.

About a year later...

Blaine graduated from NYU on the day that Kurt finished writing the first act of their musical and he read over it after he'd gotten his diploma, writing notes all over the margins including song lyrics to put to music later. They rode on the subway heading back home to drop off a few things before meeting up with their parents for a celebratory dinner.

"This is really good," Blaine said and he really was impressed.

Maybe it was that it was something so close to home, and close to who they were together, but all the emotion in the dialogue and in the two main characters was both beautiful and sad and just as Blaine had imagined it and all he wanted to do was to finish off composing the songs that would go with those scenes and with those characters.

Instead, they went out to dinner with Burt, Carole, and Pam. When asked about his plans, Blaine couldn't help but tell them all about their musical.

"Jesse is excited about it too. He heard a few of the songs. We're also going to talk to a few producer friends of Kurt's and see what they say. New shows can take years but now that we have most of the first act complete we can really start trying to figure out how to get it out there."

In the meanwhile, Kurt took on a few more roles as they came, but Blaine made the musical his priority to the point where suddenly he had a few well known people from Broadway interested and willing to hear more of it.

In just a few months they were doing a workshop of it and after some insistence he and Kurt were taking on the main roles. A few months later it was all ready. The dialogue was set and Blaine had finished all the songs. They did previews in Boston, and then brought the show back to New York, making only a few changes due to the reaction of their audience.

The whole process took time and effort and Blaine found himself with no time for anything else.

"It's everything we wanted and more," Kurt told him on the opening night in New York.

They were both already in costume in their shared dressing room and Blaine couldn't help but agree with Kurt because everything they had always dreamed about was about taking Broadway by storm together and it was happening and they were both doing it and the best part was that they were doing it as together as close together as they possibly could.

Everything went like it was supposed to. They hit their cues, they didn't miss a beat when a line was forgotten and improvised, and the songs went just as practiced.

The whole musical took place in the elevator with flashbacks weaving in and out of the narrative and all of it culminated in the two characters coming together again despite everything.

As they sang the last song, a song inspired by the song he and Kurt had danced and sang at their wedding - Come What May - Blaine felt himself fill with joy like no other performance of it had made him feel and hearing everyone start to cheer afterwards surprised him only a little. They took their vows, bringing everyone from the cast back to the front. He and Kurt held hands and Blaine knew he didn't want to be anywhere else but there.

Note:

So, as I have said before I hate writing weddings. So I wrote about the klaine wedding in a roundabout way...and hey, Elliott and Sebastian are sorta together! I actually am not too fond of this chapter, but it sorta worked towards what I wanted to write. Hope you all liked it and I am hoping to get the next chapter up tomorrow. thanks for reading.
