The Reason Chapter 3, a glee fanfic

Chapter 3: Unexpected

Breadstix was relatively uneventful. Besides the few gawks that my friends gave Sebastian and I, and some remarks here and there, it went by fine. After the incident the past year, no one really wanted to talk about their set list. Turns out I was a traitor anyways. Which didn't make sense because they wouldn't be facing the Warblers until regionals this year anyways.

"Have you decided to rejoin the Warblers yet?" I asked on the car ride to Sebastian's place.

"No, plus there's only a week before sectionals anyways I doubt they would take me back now" Sebastian always put up his guard when it came to dealing with subjects he didn't feel comfortable with, but I could tell, he really missed being part of the Warblers.

"Who are you texting?" he asked, "Santana" I lied. I was actually group texting Nick and Jeff. I knew that Sebastian was way too proud and stuck up to even ask to rejoin the group, so Blaine would do it for him.

Hey Guys! I have a question, why isn't Sebastian in the Warblers anymore? –Blaine

He just up and left one day. It was strange, and his excuse was crappy. I'm pretty sure it has something do with his dad. –Jeff

Yeah, he's been acting weird ever since his dad has been dropping by his house more often. But wait, How do you know Sebastian isn't in the Warblers? –Nick

He didn't tell you? We started talking again. –Blaine

Sebastian hadn't told anyone about them being friends again? Why? Probably because he doesn't hang out with them much anymore but still…was he ashamed? Or maybe he just didn't think as much of this friendship as I do?

Sebastian thinks we're stupid. But we see him walk by the common room constantly, catching glimpses of us performing. He probably practices anyways, I wouldn't put it past him. We really need him, REALLLYYYY need him –Nick

Is your friendship the reason why all day he didn't say anything derogatory towards anyone? I have him in most of my classes, and he was actually…-gasp- pleasant today. He left immediately after class finished too. But I second Nick, he is definitely welcomed back. –Jeff

You guys know him, he's too pretentious to tell you he wants back in. But he really does. I'm going to try to convince him. I'm with him now so I'll talk to you guys later. –Blaine

Oh God, does that mean what I think it means? Is our Blaine about to lose his V card to the one and only Sebastian? –Jeff

NO. –Blaine

Why couldn't anyone believe it was just a harmless friendship? Because it wasn't...at least I hoped.

"I mean if you didn't want to hangout with me you could have just told me instead of texting everyone on the face of the earth" Sebastian said with a pout on his face, pretending to be hurt.

"You're back in the Warblers." I said

"Wait what?" Sebastian's face was priceless. It was a mix of trying to pretend he wasn't happy, and pretending he was mad that I did something behind his back.

"Jeff and Nick say that the Warblers would gladly welcome you back. They want you back. Just like the song you sang to me" Nudging his arm. I laughed amused with his reaction. Despite the fact that I had told them the performance wasn't classy, it was probably one of my favorite performances the Warblers have done.

"Well, what can I say? I am awesome. Fine" he said with a loud sigh "I guess I can bless them with my talent." I just laughed and rolled my eyes.

"Blaine."

"Yeah?"

"Thank you."

"Gasp, did you just thank me?!"

"Shutup." He said as he got out of the car. I didn't even realize we had already arrived at his house. Although Sebastian was looking at the ground, I could tell that he was smiling. It was beautiful seeing him smile.

"Like what you see?" He asked. "Oh, uh…so-sorry." Did he see me staring? Awesome, good going Blaine! There was his smirk again. It's like he got pleasure out of seeing my reactions.

As we walked inside, I couldn't help but realize just how enormous his house really was. He had a huge front yard, and a long path from the gate at the main street. Although this was the second time I had come over, the interior always took my breathe away. Just how rich is Sebastian?

"Want to take a dip?"

"Excuse me?" I asked. I could feel my eyes widen slightly, confused by his question.

"Calm down B, I didn't imply anything sexual. Unless..." he said with a wink, "what I meant is, want to go swimming in the pool?"

"It's too cold to go swimming isn't it?" I asked

"Indoor pool. Plus it's heated. I can pop open my dad's liquor cabinet open if you want"

"Won't you get in trouble if you steal some alcohol? Besides,I don't think I brought anything to go swimming."

"I can lend you something, or we can go skinny dipping" clearly, there was no escaping going for a swim. Even though I wouldn't mind seeing Sebastian shirtless.

We walked to the pool, (how much bigger could his house get?) and he started playing music. "I love this song!" I said, hearing that It's Time was playing on the stereo. Sebastian brought back swimming shorts. As he took off his pants, I couldn't help but notice his bulge. Clearly, he was well endowed. He slowly took off his show; his back was muscular but lean. Absolutely beautiful. When he turned around, I was pleasantly surprised. He was ripped, and his arms looked strong. Arms that could hold me, touch me.

"You can touch if you want to B, I mean, you might want to clean the drool off first.

"Oh, uh, s-sorry. I didn't mean to stare."

"You're a looker to if I do say so myself." Sebastian said, his eyes clearly roaming up and down my body. I suddenly felt shy and wrapped my arms around myself, wanting to hide my body.

"B, what are you doing? You have nothing to be shy about. You're perfect." Sebastian said. His eyes got big, probably had a case of word vomit like I did when I was around him.

"You think so?" I asked with a smile on my face. "Yes, you're fine. Now lets get in!" He said, nervously scratching his head.

"You first." I said

"Together. To the count of 3." He grabbed my hand and brought me to the edge of the pool.

"Okay. 1, 2-" The next thing I realized I was surrounded by water. At least Sebastian wasn't kidding, it was really warm.

"Of course you would push me in. Don't know why I thought I could trust you." I said mockingly glaring at him.

"Ouch, that hurt" he said as he put his hands over his heart. Sebastian jumped in, close enough that I was pushed back by the wave. Sebastian came out of the water, honestly looking like a model. His skin was perfect, his arms, his abs, his smile, his eyes. They were all perfect. He was perfect.

"This water feels amazing. You're lucky you have an indoor pool throughout the long winter months." I said, slowly submerging myself into the water until I was covered up to my mouth.

"You're more than welcome to come whenever you want. Even if it's just to see me half naked." He said, a smile on his face. As I rolled my eyes, he got out of the pool and came back with a couple of beers and what seemed like the ingredients to make mixed drinks.

"Sebastian…is that all for us? I hope you don't plan on getting me drunk. You know I'm a lightweight" I confessed, a little embarrassed.

"You're right, I probably should have brought you water." He mocked. I realized then it was probably a really bad idea that we decided to take a swim. It was hard enough right now to resist him, let alone with alcohol in my system. Was everything part of his plan? First a swim, to see me in nothing but shorts, then I would shower, he would ask to join, and then mistakes would be made? Would I try to stop him? I don't know…

2 shots and a beer in and I was already feeling the effects. Sebastian was already 5 shots and 3 beers in, and it was as if he wasn't even drinking.

"You know, I'm really glad that I saw you the other day. I'm happy where this has taken us so far, 2 days later and your already my best friend" I said. I couldn't really make out whether or not I was mumbling or producing actual words.

"Best friends? My, my. At this rate, we'll be fuck buddies in a matter of days" he said, whether or not he was kidding, I couldn't tell.

"Who knows…" I whispered, hoping that he didn't actually here me. I made my way closer to him. I could tell where this was going. I had to stop myself. I had just broken up with Kurt, what was I doing. Was it possible for me to move on already?

Sebastian's face was unreadable. He didn't have his smirk; his expression was blank. He didn't even really seem like he wanted to kiss me. Did I do something wrong? Didn't he desire me as much as I wanted…needed…him?

I was close enough to Sebastian that I could smell the alcohol from his breath and could feel him radiating heat. Even being soaked, he still smelled like the hoodie that he lent me last night. It had been not even a full day, and I was already falling. Falling harder than I've fallen for anyone, not the Gap guy, not Kurt…

I was leaning in, closing my eyes ready for his lips to meet mine. I was surprised…hurt…when I felt his arms on my shoulders pushing me away.

"Don't you want this?" I asked him, tears threatening my eyes. Why was I being so stupid? I knew this would happen. Sebastian doesn't want me. He knows I'm the relationship kind of guy, and he isn't. Why was I looking for love in someone who lived off of random hookups.

"Blaine…please, don't do this." Sebastian's eyes were pleading, something I've never seen. Why doesn't he want me?

"Bas. I want you. I want you to kiss me. Make me feel loved. Love me…please." I could hear myself practically begging. As I whispered for him to love me, I couldn't help but turn my gaze away. What was I saying? What got a hold of me? Why am I doing this?

"Blaine. I want to, you know I do, more than anything. If this happened last year, I would have made you mine before we even got into the pool, but now... Listen, you're drunk. You just broke up with Kurt less than a month ago, and I don't want you to regret anything. I don't want you to regret me." Sebastian's eyes were red. Probably from the alcohol, definitely not because he was crying right?

"I won't regret this. I know what I want. And its you Sebastian."

"No, not like this. I…I don't want to mess things up with you Blaine. You're important to me."

There it was, the words I needed to hear. The words that made me not regret starting my friendship with Sebastian again. What I didn't expect was Sebastian placing his head in the crook of my neck and embracing me, as if he was the one who needed support. Holding me tight, yet with more tenderness than I ever thought was possible. I wrapped my arms around his waist and tilted my head to rest on his head. This was a side of Sebastian that I had never seen. Was this because he was drunk? Or was Sebastian hiding something…

As if he read my mind, he quickly lifted up his head and faked a smile. "I love this song!" He said, "Care to sing with me?"

"I sound like shit right now. I don't even know if what I'm saying is audible" I said. The room had been spinning for a while now. Probably wouldn't be safe to stay in the pool much longer. "but if you insist" I smiled.

(Sebastian)

When I was younger

I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart

And I watched

As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that

She would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love

If it does not exist

But darlin'

You are the only exception

(Blaine)

Maybe I know, somewhere

Deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways

To make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable, distance

And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm content

With loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

(Blaine and Sebastian)

You are the only exception

(Sebastian)

I've got a tight grip on reality, but I can't

Let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning, when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream

You are the only exception

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

"Sebastian, you realize you have an incredible voice right?"

"So I've been told," he brushed his shoulders off with a goofy grin on his face, "but I'd be lying if I said I was anywhere near as talented as you"

"You always give me more credit than I deserve" I said as I decided the deep end of the pool was calling my name. I dove into the water, and when I resurfaced, Sebastian was sitting on the side of the pool, looking at me, a soft smile on his face. Despite his happy demeanor, something about his eyes told me something was off.
