"Honestly, Kurt, I can turn around and come home." Blaine said, looking out of the front window at the doors to Dalton. He hadn't actually told Kurt he was making this trip after school that day, so it really shouldn't have surprised him when Kurt called and asked if he wanted to come over.

There was a sigh on the other line, followed by, "Blaine, go see your friends. I know you miss them. We don't have to spend all our time together."

Blaine laughed quietly. "You're right, we don't have to. I would prefer it, however." he told him simply. He could almost see the small smile, accompanied by a slight blush, on Kurt's beautiful face.

"Just go on." Kurt said after a moment, his voice a bit softer now. "Come over after." he added quickly.

Blaine smirked, shutting off the engine. "Alright. I love you." he said as he got out of the car.

"I love you too." Kurt replied easily enough. They had been saying it often but the words never ceased to give Blaine butterflies in his stomach. Rachel even teased him at lunch the other day, say he looked like a baby deer with his doe eyes.

He hung up the phone, heading up the familiar front steps and opening the large doors. He could hear singing directly ahead and check his watch. He had come right at practice time. It was possibly the most ideal time, because all his friends would be in one place.

He made his way down the long hallway to where the voices were coming from and the closer he got, the better he could hear the song.

Uptown girl

You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

But maybe someday when my ship comes in

She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

And then I'll win

And when she's walking

She's looking so fine

And when she's talking

She'll say that she's mine

He smiled when he realized it was definitely Nick singing. The others hadn't gotten many solos when he was around, but Nick had always tried out very insistently. It seemed his persistence had finally paid off.

He opened the door quietly, peaking around the corner. The mass of uniformed boys gave him deja vu as they did their back and forth step-touch-step-touch dance move that they had become so infamous for.

Jeff, who was closest to the door, turned to see who had come in and immediately stopped dancing. "Blaine!" he said rather loudly, distracting the entire group as he went to hug the boy in question.

A loud cheer rose up amongst the Warblers and Blaine stumbled back as they all tried to hug him at once.

"Guys, you're going to trample me before any of you can hug me!" he said through his laughter. They backed off at that, taking turns.

Nick mussed his hair, smirking. "Less gel." he noted.

Blaine nodded, blushing slightly. "Kurt likes it." he admitted.

"Who's this?" a voice asked from the back of the group. All the heads turned before a few gazes shifted back to Blaine.

"Hey, Blaine, meet Sebastian." Nick said as the guys parted to let them through.

Blaine held out his hand to shake Sebastian's, who did so begrudgingly. He didn't seem like a very happy person from the way he was looking at Blaine. "Nice to meet you." Blaine said anyway, thinking that he mother would skin him alive if he wasn't polite.

Sebastian just nodded before turning to talk to someone else. Blaine looked to Nick, who merely shrugged.

"Tell us back McKinley!" Jeff popped off, hoping to ease the small tension the encounter had left in the air.

After about an hour, many of the guys had wandered off, leaving Jeff, Nick, and Blaine on the couches. Sebastian and his friend were across the room, looking through textbooks of some sort. There was an palpable and uncomfortable feeling hanging in the air with them being there and it was making Blaine uncomfortable. He wasn't sure, but it almost felt like he wasn't wanted.

"Hey guys," Sebastian said, making the three of them jump slightly at his nearness. They were so engrossed in the conversation that they hadn't even heard him come over. "Can I talk to Blaine alone?" he asked.

Blaine turned to look at where Sebastian had been, noticing that his friend was already gone. Nick and Jeff shared a look that spoke volumes before looking at Sebastian uncertainly.

"I just want to discuss how to get all the solos in the group." he said, a real smile lighting his face for the first time. His tone was playful and the two relaxed immediately and stood up.

Blaine followed suit, hugging them both and promising to come see them again. When they were gone, he sat on the arm of the couch, looking at Sebastian. "You don't like me, do you?" he asked after a quiet moment.

Sebastian smirked down at the tile as he moved closer to Blaine. "Actually, quite the opposite." he told him. "I've heard a lot about you. Lead soloist, attractive, and only a Junior on top of that. You were the big man around here." he said.

Blaine shrugged slightly, growing uncomfortable with how close Sebastian had come to him. They were nearly touching and there was no where for Blaine to go without toppling back onto the couch.

"But you left it all behind for your boyfriend, right?" Sebastian asked. Blaine nodded slowly, having to look up at Sebastian now. He hadn't realized just how tall he was. Sebastian looked down at him, the smirk still in place. "Now what would make a person want to do something like that? From what I've heard, he's a bit… prudish." he continued, reaching up to adjust Blaine's bowtie.

Blaine couldn't even make himself move to swat his hands away. The way Sebastian was looking at him; there was a mixture of hunger and need in his eyes that Blaine had never seen before. No one had ever looked at him that way before.

"Kurt isn't a prude." he said, but even as he uttered the words he knew it was a lie.

Kurt was, for all intents and purposes, the biggest virgin on the planet. They barely made out, much less did anything else. It was all such a tease, because Blaine had seen Kurt dance in glee club and those were not the moves of someone who knew nothing about sex. Yet every time they were alone and Blaine tried to move things along, Kurt would stop him.

Sebastian smiled devilishly and Blaine hadn't even realized he had come closer still, their chests touching, their lips centimeters apart. Blaine opened his mouth to protest but nothing would come out and then Sebastian was kissing him.

Blaine had never thought a kiss could feel this way. It was needy and forceful and insistent. Sebastian wasted no time, his hands holding Blaine's face gently as he kissed him roughly, letting his tongue glide over Blaine's bottom lip, almost asking for entrance when Blaine already knew he'd take it.

Kissing Sebastian was like being on fire. Blaine didn't know how long it had lasted or when he had ended up grabbing the front of Sebastian's blazer to hold him closer, but sense caught up with him after a moment. He used to grip he had on Sebastian to push him away.

There was no resistance to the shove and they both moved away from each other. A long look was shared as they both tried to calm their breathing. Blaine was trying to clear his head of the lust that filled him.

Sebastian had kissed him. Worse still, Blaine had encouraged it.

And Kurt…

Blaine gave Sebastian one last look before leaving the room, panic setting into him as he tried to think of what he could do or say. Or if he should say anything at all. He couldn't lie to Kurt, but what would this do to them? In a smaller part of his mind, he started cursing Sebastian's very existence.

Sebastian remained where he was, watching Blaine leave with a satisfied smirk on his face. Most people would have chased after him, but it was unnecessary. Sebastian knew exactly what he had done. He created a rift. A simple act, like that kiss, that would sway Blaine toward him and away from his boyfriend.

Blaine would be back, he knew. Some would say he was cocky, but he just considered it confidence. Everyone came back to him in the end.
