A/N: Even though I love Klaine I was intrigued by Seblaine so I thought I'd see what I could do with these two boys. I hope you enjoy. Please send me some reviews if you feel like it. I will try to update regularly but I can't promise. I hope you stick with me.

CHAPTER ONE

Blaine sat in the corner of the coffee shop nursing his drink. He didn't want to admit it but he was hiding. He couldn't face seeing any of the glee club members at the moment. He was sure that they would know that he and Kurt had split up even though it had only happened a few hours ago. The grapevine worked exceedingly fast. Thankfully this coffee shop was not a hangout for the New Direction guys. He hoped to have at least a few hours before anyone found him. Ever since Kurt had gone to New York their relationship hadn't been the same. They had promised to make the 'long – distance' relationship work but clearly he had been trying harder than Kurt had been. When Kurt had told him that he didn't think that things were working, Blaine had felt his heart break into a million pieces. Kurt had said that he still loved him but that he was so busy in New York and he needed to concentrate on his studies. Blaine thought that he grunted a couple of times during the conversation but Kurt hardly noticed. Before he could get his voice back and try to get Kurt to change his mind, Kurt had said that he was sorry one more time and had ended the call. Blaine had stared at his phone while his tears ran down his cheeks. That had been two hours ago and he had made his way here to hide. When he'd arrived, he had gone directly to a table and made sure that he sat in the corner where he could watch the door. When the waitress had come over, he had ordered his coffee and waited. What a great way to celebrate Christmas. He had planned to do so much with Kurt this year but now it appeared that he would be spending it all alone.

Sebastian walked by the coffee shop and as was his habit, he looked inside to see if he could see anyone he knew. He almost didn't see him sitting in the corner; compared to the rest of the shop it was quite dark there. He was also alone, which was very unusual. Normally Blaine was surrounded by those other McKinley kids and they wouldn't let him within spitting distance of the other boy. Sebastian scanned the room once more, checking to see if he'd missed the other kids but he hadn't. He decided to go in and see if he could talk to the guy who had captured his heart earlier this year. He expected Blaine to see him and to tell him to go away but even though Blaine was looking directly at him, he hadn't seemed to notice him at all. It was only when he actually reached the table, that he noticed that Blaine's eyes were red and swollen and full of sorrow. Stopping in front of Blaine, Sebastian waited until Blaine looked up at him before speaking.

"What do want Sebastian?"

"I just wanted to talk to you. Maybe it's not such a good time though. Are you alright?"

Blaine stared up at the boy who had caused so much trouble between him and Kurt. As soon as he thought about Kurt, he could feel his eyes welling up again. He didn't want to cry in front of Sebastian.

"Look Sebastian, no, it's not a good time. Could you just leave me alone, please?"

"Sure, if that's what you want." Sebastian said but before he turned away he had to say one more thing. "I'm sorry Blaine. For everything I did to you and Kurt. I just wanted to let you know that and to tell you that if you need anything all you have to do is ask. So, goodbye."

Blaine watched him walk away but before he had reached half way, Blaine heard himself call out. Slowly Sebastian turned around and raised his eyebrows and waited. Blaine nodded and Sebastian made his way back to the table. When he reached it, Blaine nodded to the chair beside him. Sebastian sat down and just looked at the other boy, waiting for Blaine to start the conversation. They sat in silence for a few minutes until the waitress came over and asked if they would like to order anything. Blaine asked for another cup and then looked over at Sebastian who placed an order for a coffee and a toasted sandwich as he had found out that he was quite hungry. When she left, the two boys sat in silence for another minute before Sebastian heard Blaine sigh. Something had happened, he just didn't know what it was but if he had to guess, he would say that it had something to do with that prissy boyfriend of Blaine's. If that little primadonna had hurt him, Sebastian would be out for blood. True, he had hurt him with the way he had acted but it had been because he'd fallen for the guy and not because he wanted to hurt him for no reason. Still he waited in silence for Blaine to tell him what had happened.

"Kurt broke up with me." Blaine said suddenly causing Sebastian to frown and reach for his hand. It told him how upset Blaine was when he didn't pull his hand away from his. Sebastian kept his hand over Blaine's hand and let his thumb rub against the other boy's knuckles.

"I'm sorry, are you OK?'

"No, not really. Why did he tell me that we would make it work and then dump me only six months later? Sure, we spent a lot of time together over the summer break but we didn't even make it three months once he'd moved to New York. Do you think he's found someone else?"

"Blaine, I don't know. If he has, then he's crazy. You are perfect. Sorry, you didn't need to hear me say that. Not now anyway."

Blaine smiled at Sebastian and he turned his hand over and squeezed the other boy's hand. He was surprised that he had opened up to Sebastian in this way but it was very easy. Maybe it said something that he could talk to Sebastian when he had been actively avoiding everyone else.

"Thank you Sebastian, that's kind to say. I thought that we were going to be together forever. I love him so much and I thought that he loved me the same way. Clearly I was wrong. God, it hurts so much. What am I supposed to do now? I don't know if I can stay at McKinley any more. I only went there because that was where Kurt was. I don't' want to have to put up with the pity looks from the other guys."

"Come back to Dalton. Do your senior year with us, re-join the Warblers."

"I don't know if I can do that. My folks took quite a hit during the GFC. To be honest I don't' know if they could afford to send me back."

"Would it hurt to ask and even if they couldn't, you could probably apply for a scholarship. Based on your previous academic achievements there and your participation in the Warblers you would be more than eligible."

Blaine looked over at Sebastian and watched the other boy intently. He knew that Sebastian wanted to be with him and he didn't know if going back to Dalton was the answer. He wasn't ready to start a new relationship so he didn't want to encourage Sebastian in any way. But he also didn't want to go back to McKinley and face the rest of glee club let alone the rest of the school. He didn't want to have people talk behind his back. At least at Dalton he could set the boundaries. Maybe even tell them that he had ended things. He would talk to his parents tonight and see what they had to say. Even though he hadn't lied about the GFC, he knew that his folks hadn't been happy when he'd transferred so maybe they would be fine with him returning to Dalton after all. But first things first, he had to set things straight with Sebastian.

"I'll think about it but first off I need to make sure that you understand something. I'm not ready to start another relationship. If I come back to Dalton, we can only be friends. Can you do that? I can't have you behaving like you did last year. I'm not ready to deal with that."

"I can do that, I promise. I won't push. I will be your friend and I'll help you through this."

"OK. First, I will talk to mum and dad and see what they have to say about it. Thank you for listening to me Sebastian."

"Anytime Blaine." Sebastian responded as he stood up to leave. "Call me if you want to talk any more. Let me know what you decide. See you around."

Sebastian stood up and smiled at Blaine before he turned around and walked out of the coffee shop. His smile remained on his face all the way back to his house. He had honestly thought that he had lost any chance with Blaine after the idiotic way he had behaved last year but what he had done was nothing to what that moron had just done to Blaine. If he was Kurt, he would have never let Blaine go. The boy was amazing and if he had a chance to be with him he certainly wouldn't throw it away. When he got home, Sebastian was surprised to see some of his fellow Warblers waiting for him and they didn't look happy.

"Hey guys, what's up?"

"What the hell were you saying to Blaine at the coffee shop, he looked devastated?" Jeff asked.

Before he could answer, Thad continued to interrogate him. "We warned you not to interfere with Kurt and Blaine anymore. We told you that if you didn't stop, you would no longer be welcome in the Warblers."

Sebastian could see that the others were going to start in on him as well so he held up his hands to stop them and when they stopped talking and just glared at him, he took a deep breath, trying to decide how much to tell them. It wasn't his place to tell them what an arse Kurt had been so he decided on telling them the most basic information.

"Before you continue, let me say something. I didn't say anything to Blaine that upset him. He was already like that when I ran into him. He has had some bad news recently and I was just talking to him, trying to help him. That's all. I promised you guys that I would leave them alone and I have but that doesn't mean that I won't try to help Blaine whenever and however I can. After all, once a Warbler, always a Warbler, right?

Nick looked over at the other guys who were standing there and they all nodded. They all believed that and they were all ashamed of the way they had behaved last year and they didn't want anyone to act that way again. Even though they had all behaved abysmally, it was Sebastian that had led the charge. When the rest of them had realised what they had done, each of them had gone to Kurt and Blaine and had apologised for their behaviour, all of them except for Sebastian. He had only apologised after Dave had attempted suicide. Now Nick was wondering what had happened to Blaine. He turned to Sebastian and gave him an enquiring stare. Clearly he knew what had happened but would he tell them if he was asked directly? He decided to give it a try.

"What happened to him Sebastian?"

"That's up to Blaine to tell you if and when he's ready. Just don't push him." With that he smiled at his fellow Warblers and turned to head inside. "So, do you want to stay and jam for a bit?"

All of the guys nodded and they followed him into his house. Sebastian smiled, knowing that his fellow Warblers trusted him again, or at least more than they did after everything that had gone on.

Blaine watched as Sebastian walked out of the coffee shop and shook his head. Who would have thought that it would be Sebastian that he would talk to about this? Although in some way, it made sense. He couldn't talk to the guys from New Directions because even though they were his friends too and they had actually stood by him when Kurt had sort of cheated on him last year but he had to be honest with himself, they were Kurt's friends first and he had always known that. Even though Sebastian had been a total arse, Blaine had to admit that in the beginning he had intrigued by the other boy, his brashness had been interesting. He'd never come across anyone who had been so forthright. Only Kurt had ever intrigued him as much and it was at that moment that everything came crashing back down and he remembered that Kurt had just broken his heart by ending their relationship. Now he had to think about what he wanted to do, stay at McKinley or return to Dalton. He didn't want to make a rash decision so he would think it over and talk to his parents. After all if they couldn't afford to send him back, the decision would be taken out of his hands.

Standing up, he dropped some money on the table to cover his bill and a tip and he walked out into the sunshine that seemed to mock his dark mood. He walked back to his car, not really noticing anything that was going on around him and he walked straight into someone causing him to lift his head. As he looked up he could see that the person he'd bumped into was one of the last people he wanted to see, Mr Schuester.

"Hey Blaine, you OK buddy?"

"I'm fine thanks Mr Schue. How are you?"

"All's good. Miss Pillsbury and I have just been looking at wedding cakes."

"So you are still having a New Year's Eve wedding?"

"Yep, everyone is coming back. Has Kurt told you when exactly he's getting back?"

"Umm. No, he hasn't said anything to me. Sorry to be rude Mr Schue, but I have to go. I'll see you on Monday at school."

"Sure thing, see you then Blaine."

Blaine quickly walked away. He'd completely forgotten about the wedding. He would have to face not only Kurt but everyone else who had moved on. How would he be able to do that? It was only a couple of weeks away. Not only did he have to get through Christmas, now he had to face the wedding as well. Should he apologise to Mr Schue and Miss Pillsbury and just not go? But could he do that to them? He was singing lead in one of the songs at the reception. Damn, he had so much to think about. When he reached his house, Blaine could see that neither of his parents was home so he made his way inside and went directly to his room. The first thing he saw was the prom photo of the both of them. That photo was taken on top of that silly dinosaur but it had been so much fun that night. Grabbing the photo, he fell onto his bed and held the frame close to his chest. He could feel his eyes well up all over again. He loved Kurt so much and this is what he feared would happen. He had been preparing himself for it before Kurt had graduated but Kurt had told him that they would make it work and Blaine had believed him. And now he wasn't prepared at all. He had never felt so bad, not even after he'd been beaten up years before. He closed his eyes are more tears started to fall, he felt so drained. And that was how his mother found him hours later, curled up on his bed, clutching that photo. She could tell that he'd been crying, his cheeks were red and on closer inspection his eyelashes were damp. It pained her whenever any of her children were hurt and she always worried about her baby particularly when he came out as being gay. She wanted to be able to take care of him forever, protect him from ever getting hurt but she knew that she had to let him live his life and that meant that he would get hurt every now and then. When she removed the photo from his hands Blaine murmured softly but she just gently brushed his forehead and he settled back into slumber. She covered him with a blanket from the end of the bed and turned off his light. As she entered the living room, her husband stood up and handed her a drink.

"Is Blaine home?"

"He's in bed. I think something has happened Ben. He looks so sad, even if he is asleep."

"Ruth honey, he'll tell us what it is when he's ready. Come and sit with me."

Ruth and Ben Anderson sat together on the couch and talked softly about the family plans for Christmas. They had a loving relationship that all their children aspired to duplicate.

Blaine was awoken by the ring of his phone. Rolling over he groped for his phone, wondering who had put the blanket over him. However that thought was quickly chased away when he read the name on the caller display. It was Kurt.
