Kurt groaned and glared at Blaine as he threw his clothes on. Why were they going to the rescue of the meerkat? He didn't understand it. The guy had done nothing but antagonized them since they had first met him and now Blaine wanted to go pick him up. To say Kurt was upset would be an understatement. Blaine's parents wouldn't be getting home until very late and they were supposed to be having a romantic night in. Picking up Sebastian from where he was undoubtedly drunk and passed out on the side of the road from partying didn't exactly fit with his idea of a romantic night in. He didn't even bother disguising his anger as he glared across the room at his boyfriend who was fastening his signature bow tie around his neck. "I'm mad at you, just so you know." he grumbled, rolling his eyes when Blaine merely smiled and walked over, kissing him on the cheek.

"He's in some kind of trouble, Kurt," Blaine said, intertwining their hands and squeezing his gently before leading him out of his room. "I'm his friend. I can't not help him." Kurt just didn't understand how Blaine could see it so black and white. He didn't see it as simple as that. Why should they help someone who spent the entirety of the time they saw him antagonizing them? Why did they have to be the ones to help him out? Surely he had other friends, or parents. Why didn't he just call home if he was in so much trouble? That's what made sense. After all, his parents would end up finding out anyways. Kurt sighed and followed Blaine out, getting behind the wheel of his car impatiently while Blaine slid in the other side. "I'm still not happy about this," he muttered as he started the engine and pulled out away from the curb. Blaine gave him directions as he drove, but other than that the ride was spent in silence. Sebastian had once again caused tension between them. Kurt was terrified that one day he'd come between them and cause irreparable harm. He didn't know what he'd do if that happened, he couldn't imagine not having Blaine in his life. That's why he was so against helping Sebastian.

The ride to pick up Sebastian was spent in silence as was the ride back to Kurt's house. He avoided looking at the other boy as much as possible, and Sebastian avoided looking at anything other than his hands as much as possible. Blaine was stuck in the middle of the tension, awkwardly fidgeting in his seat. "So, um… how's everyone's night so far?" he asked awkwardly, trying to break the silence. "I spent it with you until this," Kurt said simply without looking away from the road. "It sucks." Sebastian muttered before becoming extremely interested in his hands once more. Blaine sighed, resigning himself to an awkward ride back to Kurt's house.

Once they got there Kurt got out and walked inside without a word, leaving Blaine to help Sebastian in. He wrapped the other boy's arm around his shoulders to help support his weight as they stumbled into the house. Thankfully no one else was home, so he was able to help Sebastian onto the couch before following Kurt into the kitchen. He knew his boyfriend wasn't going to be happy about this, but he figured it wouldn't be that bad. Sebastian was his friend, after all. The iciness and anger in Kurt's eyes made him stop short for a few moments before he gathered Kurt into his arms and kissed his temple gently. "I don't get it. Why does he have to stay here?" Kurt hissed as he pushed himself out of Blaine's arms.

"You know he can't stay at my place, baby," Blaine said gently, taking one of Kurt's hands into both of his own. Kurt wasn't happy and Blaine wanted nothing more than to make him happy again. "You know how my parents are," he added. "They don't… support my lifestyle. They won't come out against me, but they would never let him stay too." Kurt nodded stiffly in his arms. He still wasn't convinced this was a good idea and was about to march back out to the living room to tell Sebastian that he needed to get his ass out of his home.

"So he can get lost! We don't owe him anything, Blaine. Why doesn't he just go home?" Kurt hissed, his voice growing in volume. They were about to burst out into a full on fight now and the tension was so prevalent in both of them that neither had heard the front door open or realized that Finn, Burt, and Carole were home from the football game they had been at. "He's not going to stay here, Blaine! He can go back to his parents."

"Nonsense, Kurt," a kind, gentle female voice called out as Carole strode into the kitchen. Kurt jumped before turning to glare at her. "You forget that not everyone is as lucky as you," she said sadly as she walked over to the refrigerator and grabbed an icepack from the freezer. "Not everyone's parents are as excepting as yours, or as Blaine's." She only had to take one look at Sebastian slouched on her couch to realize that he had just taken a major beating. When Burt had offered to call his parents, his flinching only confirmed how he had got it. When Finn mentioned that he was the guy who was always flirting with Blaine, it hadn't taken much to put two and two together. "Sebastian can stay here as long as he needs to," she added as she walked out to the living room, leaving the two boys no option but to follow her.

In the living room Sebastian was slouched on the couch, ignoring the questions that were being asked him. "Leave the poor boy alone," Carole said gently, giving him the icepack for the worst of his bruises. She knew better than to ask him to many questions. She was a nurse and saw several cases like this a day. Asking too many questions meant that he would shut down, refuse to say anything to her at all. Instead, she gently sat down next to him and patted his knee reassuringly. "You can stay here for as long as you need, you'll just have to share a room with Kurt. He can show you where it is now." she said in such a way that left no room for argument. Kurt gave a stiff nod and began moving across the room. "This way," he muttered.

"Blaine," Burt said gruffly, knowing that this was going to take some adjustment and needed to be handled gently. "I think it's time you went home." Blaine only nodded and gave Kurt a quick kiss on the cheek, promising to text him soon before he walked out the door with Finn who would be giving him a ride home. Kurt felt lost without him, wondering how he was supposed to deal with Sebastian alone. "Come on," he muttered, "this way." He turned on his heel and strutted out of the room, not bothering to look behind him to see if Sebastian would follow.
