Like ships in the night
You keep passing me by
We're just wasting time
Trying to prove who's right
And if it all goes crashing into the sea
If it's just you and me
Trying to find the light

CHAPTER 1
As Blaine Anderson walked down the stairs of the Dalton Academy, he realized just how much he missed the school and the secure environment it provided, but most of all, the Warblers. He kept walking with his hands tucked in his pockets, feeling strange without his classic blue and red uniform, but smiled when he heard the familiar sound of the Warblers singing. Blaine peaked around the entryway to see his old friends singing Uptown Girl. He saw Nick taking the solo and killing it. As he snuck his way into watch the performance, an unfamiliar face spotted him and started walking his way. Who is that? Blaine thought to himself. He knew that he would have remembered such an attractive Warbler. The new boy was tall and had swept back, James Dean brown hair, glistening blue eyes, and a smile that made your knees shake. The new Warbler grabbed Blaine's hand and pulled him into dance with the rest of the group. Blaine just smiled and hopped right into the song, as if no time had passed since his departure from Dalton. After Nick sang the final note, everyone cheered and ran to Blaine, asking why he had come back. "Actually I'm here to invite you all to my opening night at McKinley. I reserved a whole block of tickets just for the Warblers!" To Blaine's surprise, the new Warbler spoke;
"We'll be there! Once a Warbler always a Warbler, right?" After Nick and the other Warblers agreed, they slowly filed out of the choir room and gave Blaine quiet goodbyes, when Blaine saw the new Warbler approaching.
"Blaine Anderson", he said in a cool voice. How does he know my name? "Sebastian Smythe".
"Hi!", Blaine said in a stunned voice, "are you a freshman?"
"Do I look like a freshman?" The tone in Sebastian's voice was coy and flirtatious.
"Uhh. . .", Blaine stuttered lost for words.
"I've been wanting to meet you for ages", Sebastian said, "Do you mind if we have a little chat?" Blaine could just not resist that smirk so he followed Sebastian into the lounge.
"You're a legend here at Dalton", Sebastian said. Before Blaine could refute him, Sebastian went on, "Don't be modest. I was like, I don't know who this Blaine guy is but apparently he's sex on a stick and sings like a dream, so sucks that I missed him." As Sebastian once again flashed his infamous smirk, Blaine knew it would be the death of him. "Since I'm working to rebuild the Warblers, I have to ask, why did you leave Dalton? Were you bored with all the preppies around here or did you just break too many hearts to stay?"
Blaine wanted to tell Sebastian all about how he left Dalton, how his love for Kurt had made him leave and go to McKinley to be closer to his now boyfriend. But Sebastian's flirtation had gotten the better of him.
"It just wasn't right for me, here, anymore. Lets just say, McKinley's where my heart is now."
"Well we'll have to change that won't we?" Sebastian smiled flirtatiously. "I have to go, lacrosse practice." Great he's athletic, looks like a male model, and can sing? "Can we meet again sometime? I would love some more insights from you Blaine, you know, Warbler to Warbler. "
All Blaine could say was "Sure" as Sebastian got up and left. This is a bad idea. Blaine sat there biting his fingernails when he looked across the table and sure enough, Sebastian had left a piece of paper sitting there. Blaine thought he had forgotten it but then he read it, 484-345-8906 call me gorgeous. Blaine wasn't blind, Sebastian was straight up flirting with him, but Blaine kind of liked the attention, and Sebastian, as gorgeous as he was, was harmless. He pulled out his phone and added Sebastian as a contact.
Sebastian Smythe was the type of guy who always got what he wanted, that was one of the benefits of being incredibly wealthy and incredibly sexy. That night, as he laid in his
king size bed, all he could think about was how much he wanted Blaine Anderson, and how after meeting him, he had to have him. Almost like it was fate, Sebastian heard his phone vibrate on his bedside table and smirked as he saw the unknown number: Meet you tomorrow at the Lima Bean? We can grab coffee and you can tell me how amazing I am again. Getting Blaine was going to be all too easy.
"I can't believe you asked for a shot of Courvoisier in your coffee", Blaine said.
Sebastian smiled, I forget sometimes how lame this town is. "When I lived in Paris I drank the stuff like it was mothers milk."
"When you lived. . . in . . . Paris. . . ok", Blaine had to laugh.
"What?" Sebastian asked confused.
"Its just so, you know, you're out there", Blaine said still smiling.
"And your whole bashful school boy thing? Super hot." As Sebastian said those words, pleasure shot through Blaine's spine. But he couldn't lie to Sebastian anymore. Blaine gave a deep sigh, "Look Sebastian, I have a boyfriend."
"It doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you", Blaine should have anticipated that kind of response.
"No, but I mean, I really care about him. He's super great and I. . .", just as Blaine was starting to realize that he was more describing a best friend relationship he heard an all too familiar voice.
"Who's great?" Kurt Hummel was standing there, much to Sebastian's chagrin, giving him an ultra gay death glare.
"Y..You!" Blaine struggled to find the word as Kurt's presence had surprised him. Sebastian this is my boyfriend Kurt. This is my competition? Sebastian almost laughed to himself as he shook Kurt's hand. He expected Blaine to be dating Channing Tatum, not Cher.
"Nice to meet you Kurt", Sebastian said in a false tone.
"And how do we know Sebastian?" Kurt asked in an accusing voice.
"We met at Dalton", Sebastian said still smiling. "I was dying to meet Blaine, and he certainly lived up to all the hype."
"Yes he's even more impressive in the flesh", Kurt said as he possessively grabbed his boyfriend's arm.
"What are you two doing tomorrow night? You should join me at Scandals in West Lima for drinks", Sebastian said smiling as he began to hatch his diabolical master plan for getting Blaine.
"Scandal's, that's the gay bar," Blaine said for Kurt's benefit.
"Well we normally watch Americas Next Top Model and do our facial regiments", Kurt said. Blaine put his hand to his forehead in embarrassment.
"Well as sexy as that sounds", Sebastian said sarcastically, "You should come out with me instead. Last time I was there I met the man of my dreams on the dance floor."
"Oh and how long have you been seeing each other?" Kurt asked naively.
"Sadly, we broke up about 20 minutes after we met", Sebastian laughed. Come on guys, live a little. By his face, Kurt did not get the joke.
"I don't know", Blaine said. "It's not really our thing." He knew that he would love to go, but Kurt wasn't really the gay bar type.
"We re in", Kurt said, much to Blaine's surprise.
"Great", said Sebastian. "Well I will see you guys there, don't worry, I'll supply the fake IDs." He smiled and walked out of the Lima Bean as he could feel Kurt's jealous eyes follow him out. Once Sebastian got to his car, he pulled his phone out of his pocket.
Save me a dance tomorrow night ;) Xxx Sebastian
As Blaine read the message, he couldn't help but smile; he was excited and terrified to have drinks with the all too sexy Sebastian Smythe. "Who was that from?" Kurt asked.
No one, Blaine lied as he pecked Kurt on the cheek and they left the coffee shop.
