NOTES; This is loosely based off the story of the 'gay couple' in Perks of being a Wallflower. Sebastian has been stripped of his captaincy and has been replaced, Sebastian's past resurfaces thanks to the new Captain. Warnings; Tom of abuse/violence, closeted gay, swearing, smut etc.
"Mr. Smythe, this is a serious offense. If he does anything like this again, he will be expelled! As punishment Sebastian, you will be stripped of your title as Warbler captain."
"What?! You can't be serious! You can't do this! Dad, say something! All I did was slushie him!"
"With salt. He had to get an operation on his eye. Sebastian, I think it's fair."
"Thanks for standing up for me 'dad'." Sebastian got up from his chair as stormed out of the headmaster's office.
"Thanks for your time. " Sebastian's dad thanked and went after Sebastian, finding him waiting in the car.
"Sebastian, you can't just run out on things like that."
"Just take me home."
The car stopped outside of Sebastian's house.
"Okay Sebastian, I'll be home late tonight. Do not have anyone over, you hear me?"
"Whatever." Sebastian got out of the car, slamming the door behind himself and slowly trudging his way inside.
This was a normal night for Sebastian Smythe. Being left alone as his dad worked late into the night. Sebastian was an only child and his parents never got married. His mother lived in Paris, Sebastian would visit every now and then, but he preferred it at didn't mind being alone, it gave him time to think, do what he has been Sebastian's life for as long as he could remember.
"I can't believe I lost my captaincy!" Sebastian yelled to himself, the noise echoing in the massive house."Pfft who is going to be captain now? They won't be able to find anyone. They will have to take me back." He mumbled to himself making his way up to his bedroom, flopping down on his bed."I'm too good for them anyway." Sebastian said before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
Beep beep beep beep
"Wha... Hello?" Sebastian was woken by the sound of his phone ringing. "Hi. Yeah. I just woke up, that's all. I'm fine. Tomorrow? Ok. I will. Okay, love you. Bye." His mother had called asking if he'd like to spend the next month with her in Paris. He'd leave tomorrow, short notice but he took the offer, it wasn't the first time he had taken off like away from these idiots for a while. Sebastian thought to himself. Sebastian started to collect his belongings', the flight was early and he had nothing better to do.
The month went fast in Paris. Sebastian didn't spend much time with his mother, he spent most days walking around the city, checking out various coffee shops and as his nature intended, flirting with different guys. He was kind of glad when the month was up. He left in the middle of the school semester and didn't tell any of his friends where he went. He also couldn't wait to see who had replaced him as Warbler Captain.
"Sebastian, wake up. School." Sebastian muffled a curse before opening his eyes.
"Do you want me to drive you?"
"No, I'm fine."
"Okay, try to have a good day and don't get yourself into trouble. Also make sure you actually go to school."
"Bye, dad." Sebastian muttered and his father left the slowly got ready. Unlike most of the other students attending Dalton, Sebastian didn't live on campus. He only lived two blocks away.
Sebastian dawdled to school making sure he was late, the first thing up today was Warbler practice and he wanted to make an entry.
It was obvious that it had been a while since the bell for first class had rung. The halls were empty and classes were came to the big wooden doors of the choir I go.
"Guys, guys, settled down. I know you all missed me, but no need for tears." Sebastian said walking into the quiet room full of fellow Warblers. The room stayed dead quiet, apart from a few gasps.
"Who or what are you." An unfamiliar voice turned around to see a fairy handsome stranger starring him down. The guy wasn't that much short than him, had a lighter shade of brown hair and a firm tone in his voice that made Sebastian shiver.
"Sebastian Smythe, Warbler captain. Who are you?" Sebastian held out his hand with an amused tone.
Warbler captain? You have got to be joking right?" The stranger chuckled deeply.
"I'm Hunter Clarington, the new Warbler Captain." Hunter shot back making a disgusted look at Sebastian's hand.
"So you're what they found to replace me?"The other Warblers muttered to each other at Sebastian's comment.
"Replacement? More of an upgrade. I was Captain of my military choir and I will not tolerate you giving me such absurd attitude. Please take a seat and do not be late again." Sebastian gave dirty Hunter a dirty look.
"That was an order!" Hunter yelled into Sebastian's retreated and took a spot on the couch next to his friend, Jeff.
"Pfft, what's that guys problem?" Jeff ignored him, which drew a scoff from Sebastian.
The Warblers meeting went by fast, Sebastian missed half of it. He didn't pay attention to any of it, still pissed off with the new captain.I hate this guy. Sebastian thought. Look at his douchey face, his voice, the way he walks around thinking he owns everyone. Pathetic.
"Think about those songs and report back to me if you have any suggestions. You are dismissed." The room of Warblers stood, bowed and headed out of the room in an orderly manner. Sebastian sat confused on the couch, only catching Hunter's last sentence before the room emptied.
"Sebastian, is it?" Hunter asked coldly.
"Yes, that's me. Why, you looking for a hook up?" Sebastian smirked, rising from the couch.
" I have heard things about you, Sebastian. I find your attitude appalling. I am here to run the show choir, I will not put up with idiots like you."
"Just one kiss?" Sebastian chuckled.
"Here's how it is!" Hunter pushed Sebastian up against a wall, his arm pressed hard against Sebastian's throat. "I am not gay, you will not act it around here or me. If I find you flirting, hooking up or having sex with any of the Warblers, you will be reported to the headmaster, and expelled. I know your ways Sebastian, I have known plenty of people like you, it's disgusting."
"Wait, what did you just say? I will not act like that around here? Being gay isn't an act! It..."
"You are dismissed!" Hunter shouted, moving away from Sebastian. Sebastian didn't move.
"Dismissed!" Hunter repeated.
"I'm not going till you apologize."
"I'm not apologizing, to you. I demand you to apologize to me."
"Apologize for what?!"
"Being late, disrupting the group, being that."
"You want me to apologize for being gay? Do you know how homophobic that is, you asshole!" Sebastian lunged towards Hunter, missing him.
"You can't hurt me, I transferred from military school, I can have you dead on the floor in a minute. You can't anyway, If you do, you will be expelled. You're dismissed." Hunter said nice more.
Sebastian made it half way down the hallway before be collapsed on a bench. They had not only replaced Sebastian as Warbler Captain, they had replaced him with a homophobe. I thought I got away from all of that. Sebastian's past is no secret. Everyone knows of the previous schools and fights Sebastian had gotten into for being gay. Countless amounts of transfers due to bullies, countless amounts of bruises.
=========
Okay, so this is horrible right now, I promise it will get better. I'm not much of a writer, I do have many ideas though, and like writing it how I want it. Anyway, sorry, please stick around, it will make more sense in the next me what you think, I guess. I do feel bad for making Hunter such an asshole, I love him, I promise he will get better soon!
