AN: Sorry for the delay, I am super busy with school and watching my nephew. I honestly didn't realize it's been almost two months since I published this fic.

THE SOCIAL LADDER (CH.2: Your Not A Loser)
"Why are you in such a good mood?" Blair asked as she and her brother walked out of the school and towards Sebastian's car. The boy mood had improved greatly since his encounter with Kurt. He knew Kurt was a good person, but before today he had never gotten the chance to talk to him. He avoided Kurt to be honest due to his fear of making a fool out of himself in front of the beautiful boy. That and Blaine Anderson was almost always at his side glaring at any boy who dared stare at Kurt for too long. It seemed someone was looking out for him cause not only had he made a new friend in the boy he was in love with, he hadn't encountered the boy's asshole boyfriend all day. Sure he had seen him in the hall, but he wasn't anywhere near Sebastian nor did he notice him.
"SEBASTIAN!" His sister screamed catching him off guard and jumping in surprise, making the younger Smythe laugh in response.
"What the fuck are you screaming about Blair?" Sebastian demanded glaring at his sister who stood on the other side of his car.
"I've asked you to unlock the car five times, asshole. That's why I'm screaming." His sister responded rolling her eyes
"Oh sorry, I got lost in my thoughts." With that the older Smythe unlocked the car and both entered, and once the car was started headed home.
"So what has you both happy and distracted at the same time?" Blair asked with curiosity and she texted someone on her phone. It was then that Sebastian phone signaled that he had received a text message but before he could grab it Blair had it in her hands and was reading the text. As Sebastian tried to remain focused on the road Blair's gasp caught his attention. Turning to look at her he found Blair's eyes widened and mouth open in shock.
"What is it?" The boy asked his sister
"Why is Kurt Hummel texting you?" Blair question instantly sent Sebastian reaching for cell phone, determined to read the text that Kurt had sent. His sister had other plans as she quickly dodged his hands and told him to focus on the road.
"Damn it Blair just give me my phone!" Sebastian demanded with a glare sent to his sister
"No way, you're not killing us over a text!" Blair responded and what was more annoying than his sister refusal to hand him the phone was the fact that she was right about staying focused on the road. It wasn't that he was a bad driver it was that most of Lima was. Sebastian never understood how the people of this town could be so stupid as to cause multiple car accidents and collisions this past month simply by not paying attention to what they were doing.
"Fine can you just read what he sent then?"
"Sure, it's nothing major just asking if your free tomorrow night. Which intrigues me, why does Kurt Hummel a guy you've never talked to want to hang out?"
"I got partnered up with him English for the year. He's really nice, he wants to be friends. I can't believe that he would want to be friends with me but he does, he is so amazing."
As he finished talking he was pulling into his driveway, parking in his usual spot. It was as he was about to get out of the car that his Blair's hand stopped him, making him turn to her. He wasn't expecting sadness in his sister's eyes, before he could what was wrong she was talking.
"Why do you sell yourself short Seb?" Blair whispered as she searched his eyes for answers
"What are you talking about?"
"You always say horrible things about yourself, you act like your not worthy of being Kurt's friend. You don't know why he wants to be your friend? Maybe it's because he could tell you're an amazing guy who has so many awesome qualities about him. That's who you are Sebastian, your just awesome and I love you."
As Blair finished her speech she ended it with bringing her brother into a tight embrace, one he returned in full. As they stood in each other's arms Sebastian let Blair's words consume him, it was times like these that reminded him why he loved his little sister so much. They held each other a couple more minutes until their mother's voice was calling out to them from the front door.
"Blair, Sebastian what's wrong? I saw you guys from the living room window did something happen?" Taylor asked as she approached her children concern in her eyes
"No mom, everything is fine we were just having a moment." Blair responded as she quickly walked past her mother and into their house, Sebastian and Taylor close behind her.
"Your sure nothing happened at school today?" Taylor asked her son as he joined her in the kitchen, while Blair had gone to her room.
"No mom, nothing happened, well nothing bad happened." Sebastian said with a smile
"What is that supposed to mean?" His mother asked staring at her son, with pleading eyes and a matching smile.
"Nothing, I just made a new friend today."
Watching her son carefully Taylor knew there was a key detail Sebastian was leaving out, and if there was one thing she hated it was being left out.
"That's great Seb! Does this new friend have a name?"
"Yeah, um it's Kurt Hummel."
That answer had his mother screaming for joy. Kurt Hummel was the boy that her son had a huge not secret crush on. Though her son had never directly spoken to Kurt, her daughter's boyfriend had and was constantly saying nothing but nice things about him. Once Morgan started brought Kurt into the conversation Sebastian's gave his undivided attention to whoever was talking about him. She had also witnessed Sebastian go into a trance the time they spotted Kurt walking past the store they were at. He stayed like that until Kurt was joined but a shorter rather smug looking boy in a letterman jacket. Once this boy joined Kurt her son instantly looked heartbroken and didn't talk the rest of the time they were out.
"Mom, you still with me?" Taylor heard Sebastian ask bringing her out of her own head
"Sorry baby, just thinking. So Kurt Hummel huh?"
"Yeah we got partnered in English for the entire year, and he gave me the impression that we might hang out even when homework isn't the reason." Sebastian replied
"Good, I'm glad you made a new friend. It's good to see you smile Sebastian"
With that his mother turned towards the refrigerator and started preparing dinner. Sebastian was about to ask if she needed help when his phone rang and the name displayed brought pure joy to his heart. KURT CALLING. Those two words just made his night so much better.
"Hello?"
"Sebastian hey it's Kurt." The angelic voice replied and just hearing his voice made his heart beat faster
"Hey Kurt, what's up?"
"Oh nothing, just got done with Cheerio's practice anyway I was wondering if you wanted to get together tonight and just hang out."
Sebastian's pulse was racing, Kurt had just called to asked if they could hang out. Kurt wanted to see him outside of school after only knowing him for a few hours. Realizing he was leaving Kurt without an answer he quickly pulled himself together
"I would love too, where do you want to meet?"
"Well if it wouldn't be to much trouble I was thinking maybe I could come over to your place. Finn and the guys are having video game night and while I love kicking their asses I would much rather spend time with you. I hope I'm not being to pushy."
"NOT AT ALL!" Sebastian yelled quickly, making him regret how desperate he sounded
"Okay great, I got your address from Morgan so I should be over in about twenty minutes."
"Okay I will see you then, bye Kurt."
"Bye Sebastian" Once the line was disconnected Sebastian jumped in the air with joy and did a little victory dance, not realizing his father had just gotten home and was staring at his son.
"Is there a reason for the dance Sebastian?" Alex asked his son with an amused smile when Sebastian jumped at his father's voice.
"Dad, hi." Sebastian replied not really knowing what to see
"Hello, know what's with the dancing, not that I don't love seeing you happy." Alex said with a smirk while sitting down at the couch and motioning for his son to do the same. Once Sebastian was seated the two men stared at each other only for a minute before the younger one began speaking.
"I made a new friend today and he is on his way over to hang out. I guess I was just excited because I really like him."
"I see, well is this friend gay?"
"Yes."
"Is he a potential future boyfriend?" Alex asked yet the question seemed to deflate Sebastian's good mood
"I would love for him to be my boyfriend, but he already has a boyfriend who happens to be the biggest asshole in the entire school."
"Is this friend an asshole?"
"NO! Not at all he is the kindest person in the school which is why I don't know what he is doing with Blaine. He deserves so much better than him." Sebastian spat Blaine's name with disgust
"Hey you never know, maybe you could be better for him. Just think about it" His father's responded before patting his son on the shoulder and then headed towards the kitchen leaving Sebastian to consider his father's words. He only got to do so for a couple minutes before the door bell signaled someone at the door, realizing it was Kurt he quickly made his way to the door but as he got to the door Blair was already opening it.
"Kurt, I wasn't expecting you." Blair greeted Kurt who laughed in return and greeted Blair
"Hey Blair, I came to hang out with Sebastian hope you don't mind." He said as he entered the house and started to make his way to Sebastian.
"Not at all, Morgan is coming over too so maybe all four of us could hang out together." His sister replied
"I'm sure I can find the time for you guys. You have a gorgeous home Sebastian" Kurt said as he finally made to Blair's brother, it was then that the light from the chandelier shined down on Kurt making him more beautiful than he already was. He was tempted to get lost in another trance but quickly shook it off knowing it would make him look like a freak.
"Thanks Kurt, so what did you want to do?" Sebastian asked, looking around for something to entertain his guest
"Well first I would love a tour if you don't mind."
A tour, he wanted a tour. That wouldn't be a problem if the tour didn't include Sebastian's room which he knew it did. That room would instantly label him a dork and a loser to Kurt. The book shelf full of graphic novels was bad enough but the World of War Craft games and the Batman poster would make it ten times worse. What was he thinking allowing Kurt into his home before he hid all the things that made him a huge dork.
"A tour?" Sebastian asked with a shaky voice, though it didn't go noticed by Kurt who was starting to walk upstairs
"Yes, and just so you know we start with your bedroom." The boy answered with a playful smile Sebastian started to panic as he followed Kurt upstairs it got worse the closer they got to the room. His palms were sweating and his was about to have a break down knowing this would could cost him Kurt's friendship. It was as he was while he was lost in his inner freak out that they made it to his door.
"Are you going to open it?" Kurt asked and it was that question that sent Sebastian into a panicked ramble
"Before we go in there you have to know I'm a loser Kurt. I like graphic novels, I like dorky games and I have a freaking batman poster on my wall. God this is so embarrassing, you must think I am a total freak." He was going to continue when Kurt's hand was placed against his mouth silencing the other boy.
"Stop talking about yourself that way. You have no reason to be ashamed of who you are, so you like different things it doesn't make you a loser it makes you unique. Now calm down, collect yourself and show me your awesome room." Kurt's hand then left Sebastian's mouth but the boy stayed silent. How could Kurt be so perfect? How was he this kind? It was at that moment that Sebastian knew he had fallen more in love with Kurt than he already was.
"Okay but I warned you." With that he opened his door and the boys stepped inside. Kurt looked around for a couple of minutes, he looked through his book shelf, saw the games and saw the poster. It was after this that the boy turned and gave him a beautiful smile.
"Pretty cool room, thank you for showing me your world."
It was then that the door opened and Taylor stepped into the room.
"Blair told me we had a guest, hello I'm Taylor Smythe you must be Kurt." The woman greeted cheerfully as she walked across the room and held her hand out for Kurt to shake which he didn't hesitate to do.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Smythe."
"Please call me Taylor and Sebastian's father is Alex he is downstairs cooking the steaks, Kurt would you like to stay for dinner?"
"I would love to, I just need to text my boyfriend and let him know I won't be at my house when he goes over there."
With that Taylor was leaving the room and Sebastian watched as Kurt texted Blaine. It was on a second later that Kurt's phone rang and the boy excused himself and went out on Sebastian's balcony to take the call. He knew it was wrong but Sebastian walked over to the doors and instantly heard Kurt's heated conversation.
"What the hell is your problem? Why would you say that about my friend?" Kurt demanded and though the phone wasn't on speaker Blaine's voice could be heard well enough
"Your with the biggest loser at McKinley and you don't see why I am upset." Blaine answered back
"He's not a loser, and the fact that you talk about someone like that really reflects badly on you."
"How is that? He's a loser and a total freak Kurt I've caught him staring at you a bunch of times."
"You don't know that he was staring at me. Your being an asshole I'll see you tomorrow at school."
With that Kurt had ended the call and took a calming breath before heading back in, Sebastian quickly moved across the room to make it look like he hadn't listened in. Once Kurt was inside though any sign that he had just fought with his boyfriend were untraceable, instead Sebastian found a friendly smile.
"Sorry about that, so I don't know about you but I'm starving want to head down stairs?"
"Sure, the steaks probably aren't ready yet but we have tons of junk food to snack on."
"Okay now we have to get down there!" With that Kurt had grabbed Sebastian's arm and told were racing down the stairs and into the kitchen where Taylor and Blair already had chips, soda and cookies out for people to eat. The boys both grabbed a coke and some chips before deciding to head outside and see how the food was coming along. They had only just walked on the deck when Alex was heading straight for Kurt.
"Hey Kurt, it's nice to meet you I'm Alex."
"It's nice to meet you too Alex." With that another hand shake and before Sebastian knew it Kurt was helping his father cook the steaks, both of them enjoying the other's company. That sight made Sebastian happy but not near as happy as dinner with Kurt interacting with Blair and his parents like he was apart of the family, he instantly clicked with all of them. That sight gave Sebastian hope. Hours later Kurt had left and Sebastian had fallen asleep happier than he had ever been.
He kept the feeling with him as he entered McKinley the next day, but that only made him blind to the slushy that was thrown in his face. It caught him completely off guard as the ice slapped his face and drenched his clothes. Feeling absolutely disgusting he quickly wiped his eyes and came face to face with his attacker. Blaine stood in front of him, he was alone but he looked furious. Before Sebastian could say anything Blaine had him pinned against a locker and was whispering for no one else to hear.
"I would warn you to stay away from Kurt but that would just make him angry with me. So you can hang out with him but if you so much as try to act on your little crush I will break you. He's mine and he's way to good to ever be yours." With that Blaine shoved Sebastian one last time before walking away and leaving Sebastian angry and drenched.
