Sebastian pressed the play button and a video started going.
It was of the warblers, practicing their performance in Dalton's auditorium. It was obviously the middle of the routine, as all of them were already singing when it cued up.
"Is there a reason the thing is on mute?" Kurt asked, eyebrow quirked.
" The song isn't important," Seb said, " and it's easier to focus on how freaking crazy the move is without the music distracting you."
Kurt and Blaine both nodded. That made an odd amount of sense. Though, really, how bad could this move really be?
" ok, here it is!" Seb burst suddenly. All three boys focused intently on the screen.
The warblers were standing in a semi-circle at the front of the all clapped in rhythm as Hunter danced in the center. Suddenly, Hunter launched himself into the air. He turned completely horizontal and went into a barrel roll. He twisted completely around in the air before flipping and landing in a hand stand. Then, to Blaine and Kurt's further shock, he launched from his hands into a blind backflip towards the audience. Landing it perfectly, turned to face the audience, an insanely cocky smirk on his face.
Sebastian stop the video there, though it was obvious there was more to the performance. What was meant to be seen had been seen. He looked up at the boys in front of him.
Both had their jaws dropped. Blaine's eyes were as big as baseballs, and Kurt was so frozen in shock it didn't look as if he was even breathing.
"Wow. I didn't know mouths could go that wide. You guys must have a hell a lot of a fun with each other!" Sebastian joked pathetically, trying to cut the tension. Neither Blaine or Kurt seemed amused. Seb sighed. He looked at his feet. "Ya, it's bad, I know. Guess it's some kind if stinking karma for all the shit I've done. Just..." He looked up again to see both boys staring at him, dumbstruck. "Guys, please. I know talking to me isn't your favorite thing to do, but please..just please say something?!"
"Oh...my lady gaga!" Kurt said finally, " ..is that..how...what..huh?" He was shocked to the point of being unable to form words. By what law of physics was that even possible?
" Sebastian," Blaine gulped, "you're saying you have to learn..to do THAT?! But...regionals...that's only a few weeks away!"
"Really? I hadn't figured that out!" Sebastian retorted in an over sarcastic manner. He winced at his own words. "Sorry! Just...I'm really freaked. And, if you can believe it, this whole situation...well..um.."
"Oh dear sweet Gucci , please don't say it gets worse!" Kurt blurted out, " I honestly can't think of any plausible way it could."
"Well, Betty White, unfortunately it can and it does." Sebastian bit his lip and looked at his shoes.
"What?" Blaine said in disbelief, "how is that possible?"
"It's really simple, actually." Sebastian laughed humorlessly, "As you can guess, Hunter wasn't exactly...pleased...with getting removed from the Warblers. So, when I asked him to show me how to do the move..."
Kurt gasped as he realized where Sebastian was going. "You can't be serious!" He said in shock, "He said no?! He's actually refusing to do it?!"
Sebastian nodded somberly as Blaine and Kurt's eyes again grew big. "Yup." He said, "you got it right there, gay face. Drill sergeant dip-wad won't teach me. Can't really blame him if you think about it. I mean, he was invited to Dalton just to be on the Warblers. He got booted and he's pissed. He has no loyalties to the group, and no loyalties to the people in it. If I were in his butt ugly shoes, I can't say that I wouldn't at least consider doing the same thing."
Blaine and Kurt sat in stunned silence. The way Sebastian talked about it, it made sense, but still sounded horrid. And this move wasn't just something like a pirouette or cartwheels. That was some serious dancing. If Sebastian tried to do that move and got it wrong, there was a very real possibility someone could get hurt.
"Nick and Jeff called Wes and somehow managed to get him to come help with vocals and some of the other dance crap," Seb sighed, "but even he can't figure out a way to avoid the move without seriously changing choreography, which we have no time for."
"Wow!" Blaine whispered, " that is bad! If Wes is stumped... Wait a second! Sebastian, no offense, but..um..why are you telling us all this? It's not like you to let anyone see you weak."
Sebastian sighed dramatically, " I was hoping it was obvious enough that I wouldn't have to say it. When I told him the problem, my boyfriend said..."
"BOYFRIEND?!" Blaine and Kurt exclaimed.
Sebastian scoffed, " ya. I have a boyfriend. what? I'm not that ugly, am I?"
" No, sorry." Blaine laughed,"it's just you always said you don't date, and you're such a flirt! I never thought I'd see the day Sebastian Smythe was in a committed relationship!"
"Ya, same here!" Kurt nodded, " and, if you ever were going to, I honestly expected it'd be after you, by so magic or miracle, managed to get Blaine away from me."
At that, Sebastian nearly did a spit take with the mouth full of tea he'd drank. After swallowing, he laughed. "Ya, I thought so too for a while, but..." He stopped suddenly, his cheeks turning a rather violent shade of scarlet.
"But...what?" Kurt smirked playfully, warming to the gossip.
Sebastian cleared his throat awkwardly, "um, remember when I first convinced you to go to scandals? How I said I met the man of my dreams there and lost him?"
" ya...Oh!" Kurt said excitedly, "you found him again, didn't you?"
Sebastian nodded. " Ya, I did. After we first reconnected, we were just friends, but soon enough we started to fall for each other. Believe it or not, it was you, Kurt, who helped me find him."
"What? How?" Kurt said in shock. How was he connected to Seb and his dream boyfriend.
" trust me," Seb smirked," he's coming to meet us here soon. As soon as you see him, you'll understand."
Kurt simply nodded. This day was getting very interesting.
