Yiota (everentwined) on Tumblr prompted a fic with the first sentence of: (Blaine) - Thank you Sebastian. (Seb) - Always Blaine.
Blaine stifles a small smile as he strokes his index finger against the hard edge of his phone, doubtful that the warm fuzziness in his stomach was something he should be feeling. He had been fractured, disintegrated, left to sink into oceans of endless despair, and then…
And then Sebastian had appeared before him, like a vision, like a mirage.
And he'd accepted the offer to call Sebastian, to open himself up to someone that was solely his friend, to share parts of his relationship he'd never dared share with anyone else because everyone else liked or adored Kurt and no one - no one - wanted to listen to the ugly parts of their relationship because "all relationships have ups and downs" and "having a fight will just make you communicate and grow stronger".
Drawing his lower lip between his teeth, his thumb moves over the screen as he constructs another message: Why have you always been there for me?
The bubble of Sebastian's message lingers on his screen for what feels like a decade. He definitely feels his tiredness increasing as he waits for the reply, his eyelids drooping before he reminds himself that he has to know why Sebastian has always been willing to support him.
The message that eventually comes through isn't what he expects, but one that will probably keep him awake for the rest of the night and might just haunt his daily thoughts until he can see Sebastian and demand a more direct answer, one that hasn't had half an hour of editing go into it, one that isn't so vague that he's entirely unsatisfied-
Once a Warbler, always a Warbler, right? We'd do anything to protect our own.
Blaine wishes he understood why Sebastian was so blatant about some things and so coy about others. Sebastian was forever going to be a series of puzzle pieces he wasn't entirely convinced he'd be able to solve.
~FIN~
