Last ten days had been by far one of the most amazing ten days of Blaine's life so far. The freedom that he had felt was unprecedented. He had gone off social media grid and only got in touch with his friends and family once a week on a scheduled time. And all the other time he was enjoying the road, exploring cities that he had never been, jamming with musicians that taught him more than he ever learned before and most important of it all, he was spending time with Sebastian.

Despite Sebastian's very complicated and busy schedule every day, they had spent enough time together and become much closer than before. And this made certain things difficult for Blaine, like not blurting out the dreaded three words on every other opportunity and he wasn't lacking in them. Living close quarters with Sebastian was a unique experience for him as he had to practice a lot of restraint around him so much so that he started a journal.

#45 Sebastian likes mini-cupcakes.

#46 Sebastian doesn't like shirts.

But more than that Sebastian likes to lounge around eating mini-cupcakes without shirts and it drove Blaine bonkers, more than he could ever imagine. So much that he retreated back to his bunk and act like he was still sleeping till the court was clear. He didn't know that if the other man was doing it on purpose or not but he was pushing Blaine closer to snapping each day.

On top of all this, he was sure that people on the bus also had an inkling about his feelings for Sebastian since they had caught him too many time gazing at the said man. Thank goodness that nobody had opened their mouth about their suspicion if they had any. This was the only con Blaine could find about being in close quarters with Sebastian; at least on phone, he had the opportunity to mask his expressions and think things through before opening his mouth.

"How long are you going to hide here Killer? We both know that you're not sleeping."

Instead of giving a verbal response he silently climbed down from his bunk and went to the bathroom before he could berate Sebastian for his lack of clothing that was sending his mind into haywire.

Fortunately for him, by the time he came out, Sebastian was ready for his day and was busy on his phone. He said without looking up, "Hunter and Andrew are coming down this weekend. Since Santana asked me and Hunter to throw a bachelor party for Dave, we're taking him to a game and drinks after since strippers and clubbing are not his choices of letting loose one last time before getting tied down. Would you like to come? It'll be fun."

"I don't know if Dave would want me there, we're not exactly…"

"If you and I can be friends then I'm sure you and Dave can be too. Give him a chance, he's changed."

"It's not about that. I can see he's changed but"

Sebastian cut in, "But nothing B. if you want to come, you're welcome; it's your choice. Now onto next subject, can I see the pictures that you clicked in Disneyland, you must've had tons of fun."

"I did but I haven't transferred them to my laptop yet, maybe later today."

"I can see straight from the camera killer, no need to whip out your laptop."

"Battery's dead" Blaine had to lie cause his camera would not only show the photos Sebastian was requesting but also the candid pictures he had started clicking of Sebastian when he wasn't looking. Yes, this was getting borderline obsessive but what could he do, he loved capturing it when Sebastian laughed unabashed, played with his dog, and did countless other mundane things. Maybe one day, he'd put them all in together and gift them to him.

"Never mind, did you enjoy Disneyland?"

"Yes lots and thank you for arranging what you did, you didn't have to."

"It's nothing; if I didn't get to go, at least somebody else did and enjoyed it to the full extent. And even better that it was you."

"Were you able to sort out, whatever it was that was wrong?"

"Yeah, I did. Some idiot intern had misplaced some shit and we had to do it all over again."

"Are you ever going to tell me what secret thing you're working on or do I have to wait like everyone else?"

"Got to wait for it B. Practice patience, it will help you a lot with stubborn patients."

"I don't think I'll ever get patients who'd tease me with little snippets of information before doing the big reveal."

"Never say never, Killer."

That weekend when Blaine and Sebastian went down for breakfast, Blaine was in for a surprise. Hunter, Andrew, and Dave were there; the New York crew minus their girlfriends was there too. "What are you all doing here? Aren't you supposed…?"

"Surprise B" Sebastian whispered in his ear as he threw his arm around his shoulders.

"You were on it too? Of course, you were."

Nick said hugging him, "We missed you too much Blainey and we couldn't deny a weekend trip to Miami, could we?"

"And Dave and Andrew invited us so we thought why not?" Thad told him.

While Blaine and Sebastian were catching up with their friends, Hunter was doing his own catching up with his fiancé in their room, "He's changed his set list."

"Yes, he has. And I think you know why."

Hunter commented as he went through the set list again, "Something to do with Blaine's presence I suppose."

"He said it was too hard to do it knowing that Blaine would be listening in the whole time in the audience. Made it more real and I get it, they're hard songs that take a lot out of you. Some more than others."

"And how is he coping with being so close to Blaine?"

"What he does best? He avoids any situation that may lead to something. You know he never makes eye contact with Blaine during any of his show. If Blaine has noticed it, he hasn't said anything yet. And Blaine is no better, he's been avoiding too in his own way."

"I hope for both of their sakes, they sort it out soon. You know there's a betting pool going on who will snap first and when. I've placed my bet on Sebastian but I'm thinking of changing it. He's a better actor than Blaine, he won't snap first by the looks of it."

Natasha commented with narrowed eyes taking a sip of her coffee, "Shame on you for betting on your best friend's love life Hunter Clarington."

"Nothing's wrong with a little bet, keeps our lives interesting. Speaking of interesting, how have you managed to keep Blaine out of the tabloids?"

"He's been helping me as an assistant so nobody clicks his pictures when they see the T-shirt. And most of the time, he's out exploring the city so it's a win-win for all."

"I knew there was something going on but I didn't ask earlier. I've been waiting for that little shit to find out that the story Thad fed him was a ruse. Well played baby," he said before leaning to kiss her.

"I didn't play anything, Blaine didn't want to be just a guest so he was the one who suggested to assist me not the other way around."

#53 Sebastian looks sexy in embellished blazer.

#54 Sebastian looks fucking sexy in leather pants and blazer.

He'd have to file these two for safe keeping in his mind till he gets a chance to put them down on writing as Blaine was exercising serious restraint to not go and kiss the fuck out of Sebastian while he was fiddling with his hair in the green room. Why does he do this to him; was he trying to punish him intentionally because it was working. Not only Blaine was slowly losing his patience, he was losing his mind too.

"So the blazer's back huh?" Annika asked as she was dressing up beside him.

"Not for long. Wait till the first two songs and then it'll be off cause it's fucking hot."

"You're fucking hot" Blaine didn't notice that he thought out aloud till he heard Odessa and Annika giggling silently. Fortunately, his admission was so quiet that only two of them had heard it but it didn't stop him from turning bright red, which Sebastian noticed, "What has you turning all pink Killer?"

"It's too hot as you said. Had too much sun I think" he tried to cover up.

"Yeah, the sun will do that to you. Did you have fun with the motley crew on the beach?"

"Yes I did, you'd have to come out tomorrow."

"Definitely planning on it."

Blaine wanted to talk to Dave before his bachelors' day festivities, he couldn't find an opportune time, but luckily Dave had noticed and decided to take the first step himself, "Blaine I know it's been awkward between us since we first met and then with my history with two of your exes, first with Kurt and then with Sebastian. But you should"

Before Dave could comprehend that he had put his foot in the mouth, Blaine had already exclaimed, "two?"

"Yeah, you've to know that I still am sorry about what I did to Kurt."

"NO, I mean yes, it was bad, but it's in the past. He forgave you and so did I but what about Sebastian? You guys dated?"

"We didn't date exactly…" Dave tried to backtrack but Blaine wasn't having any of it,

"Dave, it's better if you let the cat out of the bag completely since I can't/won't ask Sebastian about his dating life now."

"Well, we didn't date if that's what you want to know. We've always been friends and that's it. But we had sex and it was just that; sex, plain and simple. I care for him as a friend and I'm not his type exactly," Dave tried his best to put it all out in black and white.

But Blaine didn't look as cool about the disclosure as he tried to present, "Wow."

"It's not that big of a deal man. I mean it's been years, Andrew knows about it, even my dad does, and we joke about it. It's fine honestly; it's ancient history. I mean he's going to marry Andrew and I so you can see it doesn't mean anything. And it shouldn't matter to you now, it's not like you and Seb were/are dating," Dave pointed out.

Blaine sighed, "Yeah."

"So now that everything's in the open, please come today. You're Sebastian's friend and Andrew's too. I'd like if we get along at least if not as friends" Dave tried to bring the conversation back on track.

"It's not that I don't want to be your friend Dave but like you said, we just met each other in unfortunate circumstances. I don't have any hard feelings for you and I'd like to be your friend too," Blaine told him.

"Good. And we're not going to any stripper club if that's what you're worried about. At least that's what Sebastian and Hunter have assured me."

Blaine assured him with a smile, "You don't have to worry, Seb and Hunter have taken the classy route; he told me."

Thad asked as everyone except Sebastian went down to the ground, "Aren't you going to join us, Sebastian?"

"Unfortunately no contact sports for me but don't worry, you guys have fun. I'll be watching from up there" Sebastian replied while pointing to the seats.

"We were not expecting this when we were invited but let me just say holy shit."

"Helps to have excellent connections Mr. Duval" Hunter commented as he passed the ball towards Beat.

"That it does Mr. Clarington."

The boys played for a good solid hour before they noticed that they weren't alone, "Am I seeing what I think I am seeing?"

Nick said when he looked where Jeff's attention was, "This day just keeps getting better and better."

"Not for everyone Nick," Jeff said when he saw Blaine watching Sebastian having a good time with someone else with a soured look.

"Oh shit"

"Exactly oh shit. That must be hurting after my revelation earlier" Dave said as they gathered around.

"What revelation?"

"That Sebastian and I had sex in the past, Blaine didn't take it as coolly as he tried to show," Dave told Andrew.

"Why would you reveal that babe? I can't imagine how that would've come up in a conversation of all things and that too today."

"I don't know myself. One moment I was apologizing for Kurt and asking to be friends and the next I told him that. I never meant to, you have to believe me."

"Of course I do but we need to do damage control now," Andrew said before taking Dave's hand and marching up to where Sebastian and others were sitting. When he saw them coming towards him, Sebastian made introductions for everyone. Dave asked, "Hey Seb, was this part of today's plan?"

One of the team members replied for Sebastian, "No, we actually have a practice later this evening."

"And we spotted Sebastian sitting and we're huge fans so we came out. Hope you don't mind and congratulations for the wedding, Sebastian told us" another added.

But despite Dave and Andrew's efforts, their damage control didn't work out, as they would've hoped cause Michael, the team member who Sebastian was chatting with earlier had followed him to the club where they were having drinks.

"Who is he trying to fool? Sebastian practically invented this game" Dave commented as he saw Michael talking to Sebastian.

"It's okay babe and it's not like Seb was trying to pick him up. Michael saw a chance and he grabbed it, if Blaine's not ready to open his mouth then maybe this is for the best. Who knows, maybe that'll trigger him," Andrew said taking another sip of his drink.

"I just hope this doesn't backfire."

While everybody else was having a gala time, Blaine's attention was on Sebastian and Michael the whole time. They looked quite thick for having met just this afternoon. Dave's earlier admission was still fresh on his mind and now with a different man having Sebastian's attention, it wasn't setting easy with him. Blaine commented when Sebastian came out to the balcony where he was standing alone away from the party, "Dave told me that you guys had sex."

Sebastian didn't know how to respond for a moment not seeing how that was relevant at that instant so he agreed, "we did."

"You never told me that"

"There's a lot I didn't tell you if you noticed," he replied in the same accusing tone that Blaine had used.

Blaine sighed looking over the crowd downstairs, "I've noticed." He was quite for a while but then he asked quietly, "Why didn't you tell me? I thought we were friends."

"Cause you never asked and it wasn't exactly your business" he replied before walking back to where everyone was waiting.

By the time the night was wrapped, Hunter and Sebastian were the only ones who were not drunk out of their minds. So with the help of Henry and Matt, they deposited everyone back to their hotel rooms. Blaine was the only one left so Sebastian took him considering they had adjacent rooms. "You were quite chummy with that footballer. What was his name again, Marvin, Milo?"

"Jealousy looks good on you killer. Now let's get you in bed" Sebastian said as he shuffled Blaine near his bed.

"You're beautiful," looked like Blaine was still a very affectionate drunk with his cute little hiccups and slurred speech.

"And you're drunk."

"Yes, I'm drunk and you are beautiful…and tomorrow morning I will be sober…and you Sebastian…will still be beautiful" Blaine said as Sebastian put him to bed.

"Only I can end up in the same situation with the same person years later doing the same fucking thing. Vous avez de la chance vous êtes mignon Blaine Anderson." Sebastian didn't know what came over him but he brushed away an errant curl from Blaine's forehead before dropping a small kiss when he saw that the other man was out like a light. "I hope you won't remember this tomorrow. Sweet dreams."

If Blaine remembered it or not, he didn't show and Sebastian was relieved. He didn't know how he would've explained it if Blaine had asked. But honest to god, he didn't want to lie anymore. It was getting harder every single day to not break down in front of him and confess that he was still in love with Blaine even years later; that he never stopped despite how hard he tried. He never thought that he'd be that type of person yet here he was.

He didn't even know what came over him when he asked Blaine to come on tour with him, he should've known that it would end up in disaster. Yet he was trying to avoid it as humanly as possible but Blaine wasn't making it easy. And what's with all the jealousy, he didn't plan on hitting up with Michael. Michael tracked him down to the club and then the question about Dave. Dave and he were just friends now, best friends, but nothing more.

Speaking of friends, he knew that there was some sort of betting going on among his friends and even the girlfriends were involved. Yet he hadn't confronted anyone because he was secretly dreading to know about it. All he knew that it involved him and maybe Blaine too since Blaine looked quite oblivious to the looks that were being passed around the motley crew.

By the time their friends went back, there was an obvious shift between Sebastian and Blaine as they both were secretly avoiding being alone together. Whenever such situation arose, Blaine would either excuse himself to go study since his Nick and Jeff had brought his study material or Sebastian would excuse himself for a myriad of reasons. Everyone on the bus observed this clear shift except the two who were being pig-headed idiots as Santana was calling them.

Over time as they were getting in the home stretch of the tour, Blaine and Sebastian were back to their normal selves around each other, which solved a lot of concerns from their friends. "B, aren't you going to explore the city today?" Sebastian asked when he noticed that Blaine was still hanging around.

"Nah, taking a break from exploring. I've to call Kurt, I've been putting it off for quite some time and with me going back to new york soon, it's better I do it now. Apparently, Rachel saw some photograph of me with someone at Britt and Santana's place and assumed that I was dating the guy in the photograph."

"At least now you don't have to cook up some story about how you've moved on, you have a ready-made one."

"That I do so good luck, have a good day," Blaine said, as Sebastian was ready to leave for interviews and such.

"You too, see you later, Bye."

Blaine didn't want to take any chances with Kurt so he decided to call him from a public phone. On the fourth ring, the call was picked Hello Kurt, it's Blaine."

"Hi, Blaine. I never thought it would be you when I picked up the phone."

"I'm calling from a payphone, this is not my number," Blaine told him leaving nothing out.

"Oh! You don't want me to have your number huh?"

He calmly replied to Kurt's provoking, "After the way you've acted since I left you, I don't want to take any chances."

"Then why have you called today? To gloat about your new found love, never pegged you to fancy a blond Blaine" Blaine could imagine Kurt sitting at his desk, narrowing his eyes and throwing venom around.

"I didn't call you to gloat anything. I called you to tell you that I want you to stop harassing my friends. There is nothing left between us to talk about; I've moved on, you should too."

Kurt had to take a minute to reevaluate considering Blaine hadn't picked up any of his jabs and was still calm on his stand, "So you really love him, whoever he is?"

"Yes I do" came a firm admission from the other side.

"Can't you tell me his name, I deserve that at least."

"I would tell you but I don't trust you."

"When did we go so wrong Blaine? How did we end up at this place?"

"When we started competing with each other instead of supporting each other. When we stopped liking each other. It happened years ago and we just kept on carrying the burden till it dissolved our marriage. We shouldn't have done this to each other but we did. But it's time that you let me go and find the one who truly makes you happy as I have"

"He makes you happy?"

"More than anything else can."

Kurt had to know that he had truly lost the fight from the clarity in Blaine's voice and if he wanted to have a shot at ever talking to him again, he had to give up. "Then I can be happy for you. I'll stop bothering your friends and I never wanted to hurt you, Blaine, I hope you know that."

"Thank you and…"

"Yeah?" Kurt prompted.

"If you don't mind, I advise you to talk to an outsider, get some help. Therapy works in ways that you can't imagine if you give it an honest chance. Take it from someone who's been on both side of the room."

"You were seeing a shrink?"

"Yes I was in therapy and it has helped me a lot"

He said after a pause, "I'll think about it."

"Goodbye then."

Though Kurt was reeling from the phone call; he was still not ready to accept any chance of Blaine getting together with that snake. "Pardon me if I take everything you said with a grain of salt Blaine. Maybe you're hiding because you've something to hide."

He was going through the gossip sites for any news and it looked like he found something, "Aha! I knew it. You two can't fool me so easily."
