One day on the playground, Kurt and Sebastian were at their usual spot- the giant oak tree. Kurt leaned on the trunk playing with a rubix cube. Sebastian sat on a branch above him, occasionally looking around to see if any of the other kids noticed how high he had got.

"Kurt, why do you never want to climb the tree with me?"

"Because I'll get my clothes dirty," Kurt said in a tone that added "obviously".

"We can both be kings of the tree and rule the playground." He broke a small branch off the tree and pointed at the children playing in the distance. "They are peasants and this is our kingdom. Do you want to go hit some of the peasants with this stick, Kurt?"

Kurt sighed.

"You are so mean sometimes, Sebastian."

"Only to stupid people," Sebastian responded, watching a boy play in the mud with disgust.

"Um, hello," said a voice from behind them.

A small boy with dark curls was looking at Kurt a little shyly. Sebastian didn't recognize him. He coughed to make sure the newcomer noticed him too. He was the one that climbed the tree, after all.

"Hi," said Kurt brightly setting down his rubix cube. "What's your name? Are you new?"

"I'm Blaine," he said, staring at his feet. "And yes. I just moved here. I was hoping to make some friends." He said the last part very softly, his cheeks coloring with pink.

"I'll be your friend, Blaine," Kurt said standing up and dusting off his pants. "My name's Kurt. I like your bowtie."

"I'm Sebastian," Sebastian said loudly, annoyed.

"Hi Sebastian," Blaine said looking up finally. But he went back to talking to Kurt and they did not hardly say a single thing to Sebastian the whole rest of recess.

Blaine became a constant nightmare. Every recess the same thing happened. Kurt and Sebastian would be minding their own business, playing and being best friends and then Blaine would show up and Sebastian was forced to share Kurt. The only reason he hadn't thrown dirt on Blaine's head was because Kurt liked Blaine (for some reason) and Sebastian hated when Kurt was mad at him for a really long time. The only time Sebastian ever cried was when Kurt was mad at him like that.

One night when Kurt was over at Sebastian's house watching him play video games, Sebastian accidentally made him mad. He had been thinking about the stupid flower Blaine had found and given to Kurt and Kurt had reacted like Blaine had given him a freaking puppy. It annoyed Sebastian the whole day. So while he played video games, he kept thinking about it and it made him lose over and over. Sebastian threw the remote in frustration and then glared at Kurt.

"I'm losing because of you," Sebastian said, folding his arms.

Kurt frowned. "I'm just sitting here. Maybe you're losing because you're not good at this game."

"I'm good at all games," Sebastian snapped. "I'm distracted, that's all. And it's your fault."

"What did I do?" Kurt demanded, throwing his arms in the air.

Sebastian stared at his socks. "You played with Blaine more than you played with me today," he mumbled.

Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Well he is my best friend too, Seb."

Sebastian threw his hands over his face. He felt like he was about to cry. He hated feeling that way. You can't just have two best friends! Why didn't Kurt understand that?

"But I am your best best friend, right?" Sebastian tried.

Kurt shrugged. "Blaine gave me that nice flower today. So I think today he is my best best friend. You could try tomorrow."

Sebastian uncovered his face with an incredulous expression.

"A flower? Blaine gives you a stupid flower and that makes him your best best friend? I let you come to my house all the time! And I have the coolest house in this entire town! You're so dumb sometimes, Kurt, geez."

Kurt stiffened. "What did you call me?"

"Dumb," Sebastian said clearly, jutting his lip out.

Kurt slid off the couch, his little hands balled into fists.

"Fine. I'm going home. Have fun playing by yourself, Sebastian."

Kurt stomped off to the kitchen and called his mom and Sebastian did not leave the couch once. He chose instead to keep playing and lose his video game over and over, trying hard not to think about Kurt.

It wasn't until Kurt left that Sebastian went upstairs, closed the door and cried harder than he had in a long time.

Without Kurt, he had no one. How could he be so mean? He'd never be Kurt's best best friend now! He clutched his stuffed tiger, Sir Stripes to his chest tightly. Dumb Blaine. Dumb Blaine and his dumb curly hair and his dumb flowers. Sebastian was way better than Blaine. And starting tomorrow, he'd prove it.
