Wedding Day....
Thad shook his head at Santana when they noticed Sebastian fiddling with his tie again.
"Dude. It's centered," he drawled. "Leave it alone already."
Sebastian glared at him. "It wasn't straight. You'd have seen that if you weren't staring at yourself in the mirror. Christ, maybe I should've worn my Dalton Blazer. I look so stupid with this tux on."
"You look great," Blaine chimed in cheerfully from behind him.
"I look like a jackass!"
Kurt rolled his eyes. "You've worn a tux before, I don't know why you're suddenly freaking out about it now."
Sebastian growled with frustration. "Because it's my wedding! I have to look perfect! Rachel's gonna come down the aisle looking like a damn goddess while I'm standing in the front looking like a jackass!"
Sam frowned. "Quit saying you look like a jackass. Jeez, Sebastian would you stop already? You're being ridiculous."
He and the others went ignored as Sebastian went into a full-blown rant about how they "didn't understand" and were "being insensitive on today of all days." They glanced at each other, hoping they didn't look as exasperated as they felt. When Tina came in, asking Puck to take a picture with her, they were happy to have escaped Sebastian's ridiculous behavior even for a few minutes.
Had anyone said Rachel was going to be the flexible one during wedding planning, they all would have laughed as though hearing the funniest joke in a century. Rachel Barbra Berry was the one woman who would want everything done her way or not at all. So, of course, everyone was rather shell-shocked when Sebastian had suddenly taken the crown of Bridezilla while Rachel frantically tried her best to accommodate him and add her own ideas into the wedding at the same time. The girl herself didn't mind at all, just happy to be marrying her high school sweetheart, but their family and friends were concerned by the way Sebastian was turning into, well, a diva. This was a Sebastian none of them had ever seen. Demanding and absolute in his desires, the word "chill" no longer seemed to be in his dictionary.
"Won't you be glad once this is over and he's like, Seb again?" Quinn had asked Rachel.
The Broadway star merely smiled euphorically and shook her head. "I think it's cute. He's just acting this way because he wants the ceremony to be perfect for us. He wouldn't be like this if it wasn't important to him."
Unfortunately for Sebastian, Rachel's unwavering patience with him was now wearing thin. The enclosed canopies that the bridal and groom parties were waiting in were obviously not sound proof and Rachel could hear Sebastian screaming from her own tent.
"What. Is. Happening?" The bride seethed. Mercedes and Quinn stepped away from her wearily. Brittany's brows popped up as she leaned in the direction of Sebastian's shouting to hear what he was saying. "Is he losing his damn mind? Our guests are less than fifty feet away from us! They're probably wondering if he's trying to run away right now! You boys promised you'd keep him calm today!"
Puck, who had just finished taking a selfie with Tina, bit his lip and shrugged. "We're trying Rachel, but he's still flipping out over every little thing!"
Rachel gritted her teeth and hoisted her dress up around her calves. "Wait, where are you going?" Quinn asked, rushing to follow her as she stormed towards the canopy's opening. She gripped the layers of fabric in one hand and shoved the canvas away with the other. The guests gasped when they saw her angrily marching towards the groom's tent, all her bridesmaids hurrying behind her. "Rachel!" Quinn cried desperately. "He can't see you in your dress! Just come back, we'll-"
"SEBASTIAN. SMYTHE."
The furious bride damn near brought the entire canopy down as she shoved herself through the entrance and pushed Sebastian's groomsmen out of the way.
Sebastian's rant finally died down and his livid features softened when he saw her. "Rachel… Oh my god, Rach, you look-"
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she hissed at him.
Blaine pressed his lips together tightly, hoping beyond hope that he wouldn't laugh at the sudden fear that had taken over Sebastian's face. He glanced at Rachel's maid of honor and saw that Kurt was in the same position as him. In an effort to save his friend from embarrassment, he stepped beside Sebastian and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Now, Rachel, Sebastian was just getting a little jittery about-"
"A little jittery?" Rachel snarled. Kurt, seeing she was about to attack the two men standing in front of her, wrapped an arm around her waist and held her against him. "Half of New York can hear him yelling!"
"Baby," Sebastian began pleadingly. "It's just- the tie looked… and the guys were being-!"
"I don't care what the guys were being or whatever the hell was wrong with your tie," she fumed. "I don't care that you wanted my bridesmaids to wear a shade of blue that matched your Tuxedo, which you aren't even wearing. I don't care that you insisted a cascading bouquet would look better for me than the round one I wanted. I don't care that you've been keeping Kurt with you even though he's my maid of honor! What I care about is that you're still going insane when we're getting married in less than five minutes!"
"Rach, just-"
"Don't you Rach me!" she cut in, pointing an accusing finger at him. "Now you listen to me, Sebastian Thomas Smythe. It doesn't matter if there's something wrong with your tie, or someone is sitting in the wrong seat, or the flowers aren't the right color-"
Sebastian's jaw dropped. "The flowers aren't the right-?!" One look from Rachel silenced him once more.
"You could be standing up there naked, you imbecile and I'd still want to marry you! Now would you calm the fuck down and just be happy that I still want to be your wife after the nonsense you've put us all through for the past year and half?!"
"Holy shit," Puck breathed. "Rachel just dropped an f-bomb."
Sebastian stared at Rachel for a moment before shooing her away with a smile. "Get out of here, Rachel. Don't you know it's bad luck to see the groom in his tux?"
She laughed and leaned in to kiss him on the cheek. "I'll see you up there."
"I love you," he whispered against her ear then watched her walk away. When Kurt and the bridesmaids were finally gone, Sebastian looked around at his remaining crew. Blaine, Thad, Sam, Puck and Santana were all waiting for his cue. "Alright guys… let's do this."
He led them out, made sure they lined up in the right order with the bridal party, then waited for the music to start before heading down the aisle with a beaming grin on his face, which only grew wider when he saw Rachel staring at him as though she saw her world in his eyes.
