Hunter finds out that Sebastian is in an abusive relationship with Blaine, and decides to help the boy he loves.
Notes; This prompt is perfect. I could never fill as perfectly as it should be.
Sebastian tip toed to his bed through the dark, being careful not to wake Hunter. He sighed when his head hit his pillow. He hurt all over, the round patches of his skin pounded with pain.
He loved Blaine, he didn't want to leave him, but they fought whenever they were together, Blaine would physically beat him, whenever they were together. Sure, Sebastian was taller, but Blaine was aggressive, mean and had heaps of experience beating people. Sebastian never thought Blaine would beat him, but he has and does and will. Sebastian settled on the thought that it was his fault Blaine does what he does. It wasn't Blaine's fault, I provoked him. Sebastian lulled to himself, falling slowly into his slumber.
Sebastian had a sleepless night. He woke up several times, attempting to sleep but gave up around 4 am. He sat awake, reliving each punch, feeling each bruise. He had one on his left shoulder that was already a deep purple and a set of bright yellow-green bruises covering both sides of his ribs. Sebastian winced as he ran his fingers over the bare, coloured skin, biting his lip to stop himself from hissing too loudly. Sebastian touched the deep purple one on his shoulder making him yelp out loud. Hunter shifted in his bed on the other side of the room. Sebastian slipped lower into his sheets, hiding from Hunter's gaze. Sebastian looked from under his sheets, Hunter was sitting up in his bed rubbing his eyes.
"Sebastian, are you awake? I herd a noise." Sebastian stay hidden under his sheet, as Hunter turned his lamp on. "Sebastian, I know you're awake, you aren't snoring."
Shit.
"Sebastian?" Sebastian could feel Hunter moving close to his bed. "What time did you get in last night? Answer me." Hunter put a hand on Sebastian's sheets, ripping them from his body. "Sebastian." Hunter was in shock. Sebastian's coloured, bruised skin was exposed. Sebastian pulled the sheets over himself.
"Hunter, leave me alone, please."
"Sebastian, where are they from?" Hunter sat on Sebastian's bed, trying to uncover the sheets.
"No where, I'm sleeping, please leave me." Sebastian whimpered in pain.
"You aren't okay. Those bruises are horrible. Sebastian, how did you get them."
"From lacrosse!" Sebastian shouted.
"They don't come from lacrosse. Are they.. from Blaine?" Hunter hesitated.
"No. Leave me, alone!" Sebastian shouted, tears falling from his eyes. Hunter stood up, watching Sebastian sob under the blanket for a while. "Go to sleep." Sebastian chocked.
Hunter sighed and went back to his own bed, snuggling in tight before turning the lamp off.
Sebastian muted his sobbing, not wanting Hunter to hear. He knew Hunter knew, he didn't want him to know, he would want to help. Sebastian didn't want help, he didn't need it, he didn't think he did.

Sebastian managed to sleep, after sobbing himself to sleep. Luckily, Sebastian has avoided all contact with Hunter, rushing into the bathroom before Hunter woke and racing down to the kitchen to have breakfast. When Sebastian returned to the dorm, Hunter was sitting on his bed, arms crossed, face hard with a serious look. "Sebastian, we need to talk."
Sebastian's eyes widened, walking backwards out of the room.
"Sebastian, stop." Hunter grabbed his roommates arm and pulled him back into the room. "We need to talk." Sebastian struggled against Hunter, as he pulled him to the bed. "Sebastian, please. I promise I won't tell anyone, but you need to tell me how you got all of those bruises."
"I told you, I got them from lacrosse."
"That's a lie. You didn't have them after lacrosse, you only had them when you came back from being with Blaine. As I think about it, you always seem shifty after you come back from spending time with him."
"I just love him a lot."
"So you let him bruise you? What does he do."
"He doesn't do this to me!" Sebastian tried escaping Hunter's grip on his arms. "Ouch!" Sebastian yelped, Hunter accidentally touching the deep purple bruise.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Please, just tell me. Tell me the truth."
Sebastian let out a heavy sigh. "He did it. He beat me."
"Why?"
"We had a fight, we always fight. It always ends with him beating me and having me apologize."
"Sebastian, that is terrible! How dare he do such a thing to my best friend!" Hunter fumed. "Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Because I love him and I don't want to lose him."
"Sebastian, you're in an abusive relationship. You can't stay with him! One day it will go too far and I'm afraid I will lose you."
"Why are you so worried, it's my relationship."
Hunter bit his lip. You deserve me. "You're my best-only friend, you deserve better than him. Let me help you, please."
"I don't want to break up with him."
"Are you happy with him?"
"No."
"Why stay with him. I don't want you to get hurt anymore. Please."
"How am I going to break up with him?"
"Let me help you talk to him." Sebastian carefully hugged Hunter, being weary of his bruised skin.

"Sebastian, Hunter, what a surprise." Blaine greeted cheerfully. "Come in." Blaine walked further into the house, the other two following. "How can I help you guys?"
"Blaine, I know what you did to Sebastian."
"What do you mean?" Blaine asked unaffected.
"Sebastian told me about your little abusive relationship."
"He what?" Blaine's faced turned red and his fists bawled.
"He showed me the burises, he told me the stories, tell him, Seb.
"Blaine, I'm ..I'm breaking u.. up with you." Sebastian stuttered.
"No, you're not!" Blaine yelled in Sebastian's face.
"Hey, back off!" Hunter stood between them. "Don't you touch him, you do it once more, I will accuse you of assault!" Hunter yelled back.
"No, you won't and he isn't breaking up with me!" Blaine pushed Hunter.
"Yes he is! He is too good for you!" Hunter pushed back.
"Stop!" Sebastian screamed, pausing both boys. "Blaine, you have been a horrible boyfriend! You beat me! I am breaking up with you, that is that! Come on, Hunter." Sebastian took Hunter's arm and pulled him out of Blaine's house, leaving Blaine fuming.
"You'll regret it!" Blaine yelled after them.
"Doubt it!" Sebastian yelled back.
Sebastian fell onto his bed, feeling as if a huge weight has been lifted. Hunter noticed Sebastian's silence. "How you feeling?"
"Good, really good." Sebastian sat up.
"You sure?"
"Yeah, I really am." A huge grin spread over Sebastian's face, Hunter smiling in return. "Thank you so much. Hunter, thank you. You saved me." Sebastian pulled Hunter in a tight hug. "I owe you so much."
"You don't, I'm happy you're safe. There is one thing you could help me with, though."
"Sure, of course, anything!" Sebastian pulled back, eyes shining awaiting Hunter's question.
"Sebastian, will you.. um.. willyougooutwithme?" Hunter blabbered.
Sebastian didn't answer, he sat starring at the bruises on his arms, legs and to the massive purple bruise on his shoulder. "You saved me."
Hunter nodded, holding his breath.
"I knew you'd be my hero." Sebastian looked up to Hunter. "Yes."
Hunter hugged Sebastian, knocking his shoulder. "Ouch."
"Sorry." Hunter lightly rubbed the clothed bruise. "I have something to help bruises, come on." Hunter stood from the bed, holding a hand out to Sebastian.
Sebastian took his hand. "My hero."
