CHAPTER 4: A HEART FULL OF LOVE/ONE DAY MORE:

Sebastian's heart was aching as he made his way back to the Café Dalton but when he laid eyes on Blaine, he couldn't stop the smile that crept across his face. He forced his way through the crowds of busy students taking orders from Nick, dangling the handkerchief Kurt had given him in front of Blaine but tugging it away when the man reached for it.

"Where did you get that?! Did you find him? Where's Kurt?!" Blaine asked. Desperation filled his gaze and Sebastian laughed brightly.

"Wow Blaine, I have never seen you so enthusiastic. You'd better not let Nick see you or he'll expect you to fight like that tomorrow," Sebastian joked but he handed the handkerchief to Blaine regardless. "He lives with his father in the Rue Plumet. He asked me to bring you to him if you weren't busy."

Blaine was distracted by the linen however, holding it to his nose and breathing in the scent. "Oh 'Bastian, you don't understand… Kurt is like air after being submerged in water, food after starving for a week, water after walking ten miles in the hottest summer sun. He's the love of my life."

"I know how that feels," Sebastian murmured as he looked to Blaine pointedly but the boy didn't notice. "Come on, I'll take you to your darling Kurt."

Blaine's face lit up again and Sebastian forced a laugh before they headed back out into the streets. The entire walk through the city back to Kurt's house was spent listening to Blaine crooning over the boy. Sebastian understood infatuation but he couldn't understand how Blaine had so much to talk about when he had spoken to Kurt for a mere five minutes.

When they approached the fence, Blaine grew quiet and Sebastian couldn't help but smirk at his shyness. He turned back towards the house and gripped the bars of the fence.

"Kurt! It's Sebastian! Blaine's here!" he called, hoping he was not loud enough for Kurt's father to hear. There was a soft clatter and the rustling of papers before Kurt appeared in the doorway. He was pale in the moonlight but his smile was genuine. Blaine slowly stepped around Sebastian, watching Kurt with awe.

"Kurt, this is Blaine. Blaine, Kurt," Sebastian introduced them before stepping away. "I'll leave you two be."

Sebastian slunk into the shadows but continued to watch as Kurt quietly snuck out the gate and the pair moved to sit on a bench that was pushed against the garden fence.

"I can't believe Sebastian found you. I haven't stopped thinking about you all day," Blaine admitted as they tangled their hands together. There was a lovesick expression on Blaine's face as he watched Kurt, and Sebastian couldn't help but feel jealous.

"I've been thinking about you too," Kurt said with a soft laugh. Sebastian could understand why Blaine was so enchanted by the boy but Sebastian had always been there for him. What had Kurt done? Been in the square that morning, that was it. Sebastian shook the thoughts from his head before he turned his attention back to the boys on the bench.

"I'm meant to be fighting in the student rebellion tomorrow… Our General died today and the second-in-command decided tomorrow was as good a time as any," Blaine paused long enough to recognise the look of horror on Kurt's face. "Oh God, I don't know why I told you that. You can't say anything to anybody! Nobody – well, actually, lots of people know. There are barricades being built all throughout the city… Our element of surprise isn't as strong as we'd like."

Kurt's expression softened slightly as he reached over to cup Blaine's cheek. "Be careful… I don't want to lose you before I get the chance to know you."

"I promise," Blaine murmured before he leaned in.

Sebastian forced his eyes away as he felt another crack form in his heart. He mentally scolded himself for feeling hurt – Blaine wasn't his, he didn't have any claim to the boy. He had no right to feel this way.

But when he turned back to the embracing couple, Sebastian knew he couldn't control his feelings.

"I think I love you, Blaine," Kurt murmured.

"I know I love-"

Blaine was cut off by Kurt's father calling for his son. Kurt leapt to his feet and rushed back inside to meet his father while Blaine ran back to Sebastian's side. The friends peered around the corner of the alleyway Sebastian was standing in and watched in anticipation.

"Kurt, you need to pack your things. We cannot stay here. Tomorrow we will leave for England. You need to pack-"

"Father, we only just got here! Are you really going to uproot me so quickly?"

"There is no time to argue Kurt, we have to be ready to leave in the morning," Kurt's father said. "I'm sorry; I know you liked it here."

Kurt's father appeared in the doorway then, pulling the doors closed. Sebastian turned to Blaine in time to watch the boy fall apart.

"He's leaving… He's leaving so soon…I thought we would have longer…"

"You've still got me," Sebastian murmured as he wound an arm around Blaine's shoulders. "I won't leave you."

"It's all over," Blaine murmured.

"What? Don't be ridiculous!" Sebastian tried to laugh but the serious edge in Blaine's eyes told him it was futile.

"I need to get back to the café. I need to tell Nick that I have made my decision."

"And what is your decision?"

"I will fight. For freedom and for Kurt."

"Then I will fight with you," Sebastian promised. "We fight together or not at all."

"You could get shot, Sebastian… I couldn't live with myself."

"And you could get shot too. It's better if we both fight and look out for each other," Sebastian cracked a smile. "Besides, Kurt might not leave and then where would you be?"

Blaine shook his head. "Don't fight, Sebastian. This is my battle now. I've made my choice."

"Yes, and I'm saying it's a stupid choice!" Sebastian called after Blaine as the man stalked away. "Just like the choice you made when you picked Kurt over me…"

Sebastian wanted to be angry but he knew that the emotion was fruitless. He buried his hands in his pockets and followed Blaine at a distance. After all, he didn't need his friend's permission to protect him. And Sebastian would be damned if Blaine died.

Though he figured he was damned anyway.
