Chapter 1: New Beginnings

A/N: Hi everyone! So, this is the first time I have ever written a fanfic, and I mean literally the first one I have ever written. I hope you guys enjoy it! Please let me know what you think and what I should do to improve it!

Glee club lasted a little longer than usual today. The new kids were undoubtedly talented, but it would be a lie to say that the New Directions were a shadow of the group they were last year; the talent of the seniors that graduated really took a toll on them as an overall group. After an exhausting day, I figured I would just go to Lima Bean and do my homework there. No rush to go home to an empty house seeing as my parents were away on vacation.

"Hey Blaine! I was wondering if you wanted to practice our duet for sectionals, I'm really excited to be singing with you!" said Marley who ran after Blaine when she spotted him in the hall making his way out.

"Hi Marley, I would love to, but I don't think I can handle much more today. I actually have to write a paper and I'm heading to the Lima Bean, I'd be more than happy for you to join me though!" I said with a smile on my face. Marley was a sweetheart. She'd been acting different lately, and that really worried me. Maybe I was just overthinking.

"Aw, that's okay. There's always tomorrow. But thanks for the invite, I think I'll practice Gangnam Style a little more then"

"Don't push yourself too much!"

"I won't," she said with her signature smile that could literally melt a heart. She was adorable. "Before I go, is everything okay with you? I know that we haven't known each other that long, but the break up between you and Kurt has been a pretty big deal"

"Is it that easy to tell" I said with a sigh "I'm fine, it'll just take me a while to get over everything"

"I'm here if you need me! Give me your phone" she said reaching out her hand, to which I obliged. "This is my number, text me if anything!"

"Thanks Marley, I'll see you tomorrow!" with that, we said our goodbyes and I headed out the door.

During the drive to the Lima Bean, Perfect came on the radio. Of course, when I want to think of anything but Kurt, our song came on.

I know that we just broke up, but I really feel that I need to move on. I would always love Kurt; he was my first in a lot of aspects. But something was missing in the relationship that I couldn't really quite put my finger on. I have only been single for a month, but I already want someone, someone to love me, to touch me, to make me feel special…loved. Kurt always provided that for me, but with him it was different. I always provided him with those feelings, I comforted him, I held him, I cherished him. When is it my turn for someone to do that to me? Is that what was missing from my relationship?

My thoughts were everywhere; sectionals, glee club, Kurt, graduation, Sebastian. Sebastian? I didn't even realize why his name popped up in my head until shortly after I had ordered my medium drip and sat down in my usual spot and realized that he was standing in line to order something. Should I say anything? Not that he cares about me anymore, but what if he does. Wait, why should I even care. He almost blinded me. He did sincerely look apologetic when was last spoke, but we never really talked after that day.

Against my better judgment, I yelled out "Sebastian!" and waved to him. He wasn't in his uniform, which was surprising, but his tight jeans, black v-neck, and grey beanie made him look adorable. Adorable? Not the word to use for Sebastian. He looked handsome, even when wearing casual clothes. Oh dear Lord, did I really just pull a schoolgirl move and yelled his name in a quiet café? Awkward.

Sebastian turned around and smiled a bright smile. I wonder if he only smiles that way for me? What am I thinking? I really need to get myself together. He finished placing his order and came to sit down. Although he genuinely seemed happy to see me, something about him was different.

"Hey there killer, long time no see," he said with his signature smirk plastered on his face. His green eyes, although beautiful, were different. It had been months since I'd last seen him, and maybe that's why I noticed a difference. Who knows?

"I know, it's been forever. How have you been?" I asked

"I've been doing pretty well. I'm sure you have as well Mr. National Champ. Let's face it, you are the only reason they won last year." I couldn't help but blush and take a sip from my coffee to avoid eye contact. He was really giving me more credit than deserved. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you wave me over? I'm sure Gay-Face wouldn't appreciate you talking to me. Not after everything that I put you through last year." Despite him insulting Kurt, there was something in the way he spoke that made me believe he was honestly happy that I was talking to him.

"He's actually in New York now, and we…we uh broke up after I…yeah. We just decided it was best for the both of us" I wouldn't even believe myself, so I doubted he believed me.

"Well, well, well. It seems like now is the time for the great Sebastian to come sweeping in and make you mine" he said with a wink. Something about it told me he was joking, but a part of me told me he was serious. Maybe it was just wishful thinking. Why am I hoping that Sebastian wants to be with me? I'm so stupid.

"Ha. Ha. Modest as always, aren't you? We all know that you of all people would be the last one I would go for," Sebastian actually looked hurt, "No, not like that, I mean…you aren't the relationship type and you know I'm not the one who sleeps with whoever just for fun"

"I mean you're right. Even if you're sex on a stick and sing like a dream, I don't think I would change just because you want me to" Why was I hurt by his statement? It didn't make sense. Sebastian is nothing to me, but something about what the said tore my heart apart.

There was an awkward silence, and although I know Sebastian felt it, he maintained his composure. I, on the other hand, was fidgeting like crazy. "On a different note, how are the warblers?" I asked.

"How should I know?" Sebastian responded with a confused look on his face.

"Leave it to you to not know about your own teammates"

"Ex-teammates." I looked at him surprised, had they kicked him out after all the crap he pulled last year?

"What do you mean? They kicked you out?"

"Not exactly. Some new kid, Hunter, stepped in to take my place, and I realized that I didn't need them anyways." Something about the way that Sebastian said that made me think there was more to the story than he lead on.

"That's ridiculous, you love to sing and you love to dance, you are exactly what the Warblers need"

"How would you know? You aren't on their team anymore, remember? You left for the love of your life and whatnot…"

"What happened to once a warbler, always a warbler?" Sebastian just sighed and took a sip of his coffee. "So what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Public property. I have equal access here as you Blainey" Blainey? Cute.

"Please don't call me that," I could feel my face turning red. Blainey was not a pet name that I liked. "But you know that's not what I meant"

"I know cutie," there I go again blushing, "sorry. I did turn over a new leaf, but some habits die hard, sarcasm being one of them." Sebastian looked down at my paper.

"Writing a paper on classical music? Lame."

"Shut up! It's not like I want to be doing this."

"Then why don't we leave this joint? It's pretty boring here and they still haven't accepted my proposal about adding Courvoisier to their drinks."

"That's because not everyone is as crazy as you Sebastian. But, I don't know, I actually want to get this paper done and I don't think I'd be much fun. I'm not like the rest of the guys you try to get with." I said with a joking tone so that he wouldn't take me too seriously.

"As much as I love a challenge, that's not what I meant. We haven't talked in a while, and I'm hoping you have forgiven me and that we can start a new."

"Sebastian, are you saying you want to be my friend?" I said with fake shock written all over my face.

"You're choice killer, I just wouldn't mind not being alone tonight. How about this, we can go over to my place, we can order take-out and we can watch a movie?"

"I'm surprised you aren't going to Scandals tonight. But if you swear that you won't try to do anything, meaning trying to get in my pants, then I'll take you up on that offer."

"That was the plan actually, but something caught my eye." he said with a wink and that same bright smile. I couldn't help but nervously laugh. Even after months of not seeing Sebastian, he still had the same effect on me.

So, let me know what you think! Thanks again :)
