     Sebastian had always been a pretender, all of his life. Pretending wasn’t always fun, it was almost like something that slowly ate at him inside but he got immune to over time. But pretending that he no longer had feelings for Blaine, that stung worse than anything else he had ever known. Sebastian backed off from Blaine because he knew how much Kurt meant to him. He cared about Blaine too much to ruin what truly made him happy. A couple years passed, he had to keep a smile on as he watched them get engaged. Yes, he was happy for Blaine but if he said it didn’t hurt to watch him end up with someone else that would be a lie.

Now another year later, he had been invited to Blaine && Kurt’s wedding. He cared about Blaine, he knew he wanted to go to the wedding. He thought he would be able to handle seeing the one person he’s ever loved stand up there && get married. There was no more fighting with Kurt or purposeful flirting towards Blaine, Sebastian had matured && changed his ways. But there was still a fight inside of his own head. A fight of how he could ever stop having feelings for Blaine Anderson. 

The ceremony was going to happen any minute, he knew Blaine was getting ready in the back room. If he didn’t do this now, he would have to live with the secrecy forever. It had to be let off his mind, no matter what Blaine said in return. As long as he knew that Sebastian had always && always will love him. A deep breath is taken, standing by the door. Minutes passed by && his mind was spiraling, thoughts twisting && turning. Finally, he got up the courage && knocked gently on the door three times.  Everything going good in there, Blaine?

      Blaine was a nervous ball of energy that could barely be contained inside his skin.  This was the first time since he woke up in the hotel room he shared with Sam and Mike that he had time alone to breathe and process that today was the day.  Kurt and he were going to get married. At the end, he would have a husband.  His heart was so light it practically grew wings and flew out of his chest.  Unable to just stand there, one hand flicked out from his waist twisting at the wrist in a finger snap.  His left foot kicked back as he shifted his balance to his right heel and spun once finishing with a low bow to his reflection in the mirror.  Pursed lips pinched at the corner as mirror imaged hazel stared into it’s perfect match.  A wave of giddy nerves hit him hard enough to make his head spin and he laughed giddily gripping the edge of the vanity to keep himself from floating to the ceiling.  TODAY was going to change EVERYTHING.  Their lives, their future. They’d gone through so much to get to this point and here they were.  Together.

Oppositely?  Blaine felt a calm mixed with the impulsive want to dance across the ceiling.  They would still be them only–  Piecing together the right words for how he felt wasn’t going to happen.  Exhaling deep, Blaine decided to let it just be.  The knock on the door ended his time alone.  Not that he expected much.  Or needed it.  It was nice to breathe but too long thinking it over, who knew?  The last night’s jitters might return.  No doubt it was Sam.  Darting to the door, he watched his bare hand as he opened it and grinned.  This would be one of the last times he saw it without a glinting platinum band.  “Hey, listen, I told you a dozen times.  We’re not playing the Dark Knight Theme as—” Nope.  Not Sam.  Someone else entirely. “Sebastian!”  Instant ear to ear smile?  Just add a Warbler.  “Hi!  Come in!”  A tug to Sebastian’s wrist brought into a tight hug.  “It’s so good to see you,” he gripped his shoulders and took a step back.  Sensing something was off only took their eyes meeting.   Blaine always noticed things about Sebastian many people wouldn’t.  But? Blaine wasn’t most people.  Their friendship wasn’t like most friendships. Certainly not one that would allow him to miss something he could practically feel when he looked deeper into the familiar shades of green.  Blaine tightened his hold and squinted, his voice quiet.  “Hey, everything okay?”
