One afternoon on the playground was a quite one. It was one of those afternoons where the two boys sat in content. Just listening to the sounds of the other kids screams of enjoyment. Sebastian was perched on a branch in the tree, eyes closed. Dozing off.
Kurt was sitting against the trunk. He had his lunchbox open in front of him and was deciding whether he should eat the apple or the grapes his mom packed.
He was so focused on making a decision, he didn't notice two figures walking towards him until a shadow fell on where he sat.
He froze in his spot. Pretending to concentrate.
"Hey Wuss! Whatchya got there?" Azimio sneered.
The voice from below broke Sebastian's tired state for a second. He was a little confused and disorientated so he thought he was just hearing things.
Kurt looked up at the two boys who were towering over him. They were smirking cheekily.
"M-My lunch." Kurt stuttered with a small voice. His little heart thumping faster in his chest.
"Well duh, sissy. We're not idiots! Give us your lunch, Hummel." David threatened.
Kurt stood up hastily, backing away to the side, clutching his lunchbox to his chest.
"N-no. My mom made it for me." He argued, trying his best to keep his voice from wavering. It wasn't working.
David followed Kurt, his temper rising.
"I said. Give. Us. your lunch!" He growled and shoved Kurt.
David was stronger than Kurt, so he fell to the ground with a yelp. The tin box flying out of his hands.
The yelp is what caught Sebastian's attention. He sat up straight on the tree branch.
He recognized the voice to be Kurt's. Which meant he was in trouble, or hurt.
Sebastian looked down to see Kurt holding onto his left leg. He then noticed the two other boys. Azimio and Karoksky. They were both laughing.
Sebastian didn't know what happened, but he knew that they had hurt Kurt. Kurt, his only friend. He didn't like it.
"Hey!" He bellowed as he jumped down from the branch with a loud thud.
He charged towards the two boys, fuming. He had his eyes set on Karofsky.
He had a feeling he was the one who hurt Kurt.
Kurt had told Sebastian about all the times Karofsky would push Kurt for no apparent reason, or call him names or even try to take his lunch. Azimio would stay back and just laugh. Throw in a petty insult or jibe.
He stood in front of Karofsky, balled fists at his side.
"Leave him alone, you jerks!"He ordered, voice high and strong.
Karofsky simply laughed down at him.
"Or what?You'll infect me with some of Hummel's fairy ger-" He didn't get to finish his sentence before Sebastian was charging towards him.
He didn't hold back and shoved Karofsky as hard as he could, at the same time Azimio ran for Sebastian to hold him back, as Karofsky fell to the ground.
"Let go of me ya' big lug!" Sebastian struggled against Azimio's grip. Karofsky scowled, picking himself up from the ground, fists at the ready.
"Hey man! Miss Parker is walking right over there, she's gonna see us!" Azimio cried in a hushed voice.
Karofsky whipped his head around and spotted Miss Parker with her back to them, monitoring the kids on the jungle gym.
Azimio let Sebastian's arms go, and backed away. Karofsky looked back at Sebastian and sneered. He and Azimio walked away from the two boys.
Sebastian scowled as he watched the two boys walked away, but he was broken from his daze when he heard a weak whimper. Suddenly remembering Kurt, he ran to his side.
He knelt by his side and hovered his hand over his back, noticing that it was shaking.
"K-kurt? Kurt are you okay?" He asked, his worry showing in his voice.
He heard a soft sniffle as Kurt pushed himself up, leaning back on his elbows.
Sebastian's heart sank a little as he saw the tear tracks on Kurt's face, along with his red eyes and nose.
He placed his hand gently on Kurt's arm.
"Kurt, are you okay? Why're you crying?"
Kurt sniffled again and moved his hand away from his knee, showing a a scratch, along with grass stains.
"Oh Kurt..." Sebastian mumbled sympathetically.
He hovered his hand over Kurt's knee, not sure what he should do.
"I-I have some wet wipes." Kurt croaked. "In my lunchbox, my mom gives me a couple in case I make a m-mess." He sniffled, avoiding Sebastian's gaze.
Sebastian looked over to where the tin box landed and rushed over, taking the wipes out of it, and rushing back to Kurt.
Sebastian gently wiped down Kurt's knee. Kurt letting out a hiss every few seconds, tears silently falling down his cheeks.
When Sebastian was finished with the wipes, the grass stains were gone from Kurt's knee, leaving his scratched area red and stinging.
"There! All done." Sebastian smiled proudly. He looked at Kurt and noticed he was still crying.
"Kurt? Why're you still crying? Look! It's not dirty anymore!" Sebastian said enthusiastically.
Kurt sniffled again and looked at Sebastian. He shrugged weakly as he wiped the tears away from his eyes.
Sebastian sat there in thought, contemplating on what to do.
Then he got it.
"Oh I know!" He announced. "When I fall or hurt myself, my mom always kissed where it hurts." He grinned.
"What-" Kurt started, his voice thick.
Before he could finish, Sebastian leaned over and gently kissed his scratch. Then he noticed something else, his stomach was feeling weird.
He remembered whenever he felt excited or nervous he would tell his mommy and his mommy always said that those were butterflies fluttering around.
Sebastian stood up then and sheepishly smiled down at Kurt. He held out his hand for Kurt to take. Kurt looked up at Sebastian, feeling the butterflies in his stomach, and smiled.
