AN: Ok, this is kind of an experiment. I've never written Seblaine before and I'm not sure if I'll do them justice but this plot bunny was making my life a living hell. Not only that, the experiment also is to write shorter chapters regularly so...yeah. Also, I'm in a rush right now so sorry if this Author's Note doesn't make any sense or if there's mistakes in the story. That's all I have to say from now. Like I said. Rush.

He wasnt' staring.

Not at all, no. He was just... a little confused.

Not that he was being conceited. He just thought this wouldn't happen -at least not in the near future.

The fact that the one and only Sebastian Smythe had come to say hi and the had left to sit by himself in another table...

it was just weird.

A 'hello, Blaine, how are you?', then some polite conversation and then... "Well, see you around. I'll be -" and he cocked his head to a side, pointing at an empty table. Then he left. That was it.

Not that Blaine was complaining.

In some way, he actually had appreciated the gesture. After all, he had gone to the Lima Bean to spend some time alone with his thoughts. New Directions going to Nationals, Kurt leaving to New York at the end of the school year, Quinn's car accident, Rachel and Finn's attempt to get married, and some issues with his family... It was all too much. Coffee and time alone had seemed the greatest choice.

So he wasn't staring.

He was thinking.

But a ridiculously loud and heavy buzz shook his table, snapping him out of any thoughts he could've had and making him yelp quite pathetically. When he composed himself, he looked down at his phone and took it.

You know, it's incredibly disturbing the way you're staring at me.

It took him a while to let those words sink.

And then, another buzz.

Yet, extremely flattering ;)

Blaine raised his gaze and met Sebastian's. The Warbler, with a smirk, lifted a bit higher his cup of coffee, as in making a toast, and then took a sip.

The shorter boy was agape for a moment. He stammered with his words trying to formulate an excuse until he realized Sebastian was too far away to hear him; yet, he seemed to be enjoying Blaine's reaction.

I wasn't staring. I was thinking.

When in doubt, the truth. He drank calmly and let the hot beverage linger warmly in his mouth. It wasn't until he heard a well-known chuckle that he looked up and saw Sebastian grinning and leaning back in his chair.

Whatever lets you sleep tonight, killer ;)

Blaine rolled his eyes and laughed. Now there's Sebastian. His smirk, his gaze, his relaxed body waiting patiently for Blaine's next move. Cunning Sebastian. The All or Nothing-Sebastian. The one he had met.

Are you expecting someone?

It wasn't until Sebastian's expression changed into an amusing one, Blaine realized his text could've been interpreted somehow...intruding.

You don't have to answer that.

Blaine shifted awkwardly in his seat. Clearly Sebastian had his reasons not to sit and openly flirt with Blaine now that Kurt wasn't in sight. Not that that's what he wanted but...still.

It was weird.

This is me backing off.

So he was being serious. He had told them no more games and he meant it. He couldn't help but smile and look at the Warbler who gave him a toothy grin and a thumbs up. Blaine chuckled and shook his head.

I appreciate the gesture but that doesn't mean we can't be friends at all, you know?

Sebastian raised his gaze for a moment and smirk mischievously.

Blaine Anderson, are you asking me to keep being your friend? Gasp

I'm touched.

Was he? Was he really? Well, they had started with the wrong foot and they both knew it. There were so many things they hadn't done correctly. When he'd met Sebastian, he'd thought he was a really cool guy. Sebastian Smythe. The guy who was 'out there'. Confident, interesting, talented, good-looking (he wasn't even going to deny it), Sebastian. So why did he have to stop being friends with a guy like him now that he was done playing games?

Well, why not?

Blaine raised his gaze expecting the other guy's reaction. They could be friends. They could sit together and talk while having coffee. Because now was innocent, now was 'just friends'. Fresh start, do things right.

Yeah, why not.

Both smiled.

Anyway, if you liked it or not review :) (this is also part of the experiment. I also don't like to ask for reviews because I feel like I'm pushing people) Surely more to come!
