KLAINE FTW!

Chapter 7


"You had a sing-off with craiglist?" Kurt said to Rachel who was slipping on a loose t-shirt over her head.

Oh, he definitely did not smell like Craiglist!

It was at the tip of her tongue but bit it before she did. Kurt had burst through her front door early in the morning and demanded that she tells him what happened as he didn't get the chance to ask her last night, hyped up over them winning and Rachel deflecting.

She was getting herself ready for her third dance lesson now. Mike is coming over to pick her up 10 minutes and Mike is always so punctual.

"Yes. I did and we have to work very hard because if the Warblers decide to give him a solo for Regionals... No, we will still win Regionals! It would just be hard."

She slip on her sneakers that Mike and Tina chose for her when they went shopping for some clothes for her new classes, because Mike said that as much as he likes to see those legs of hers in a skirt (Tina smacked his head with the shoe she was holding then), she should wear some more appropriate attire.

Now, here she was. Clad in a loose gray t-shirt with a black beater tank top underneath, a drawstring leg pants and complete with her metallic gold sneakers (she just couldn't resist herself when she saw them back in the store), Kurt had to admit, she look good and commented that she should wear pants more often. Her butt looks nice and so does her legs, he told her.

"I have to say, Tina has some quite good taste. Was he really that good?" He asks her, still couldn't forget about the boy he so detested. "What did he sounded like?"

Beautiful. Powerful.

"He was good. That's all I could say." Rachel said while pushing her hair back and tying it up into a ponytail. She didn't want to tell Kurt how good Sebastian was. She didn't want to admit it to herself because he was that good and he knows it too.

Damn Warbler!

"But like how? Was he like Bruno Mars/ Adam Levine's good or was he Norbert Leo Butz's good?"

"Norbert Leo Butz." Exactly like him, she thought.

"Good heavens. I was hoping you wouldn't say the latter! Oh, this is just dreadful! Why does he has to be perfect? Now, Blaine is going to fall for him because he sings wonderful and doesn't have a gay face-"

"What?"

"and has those odious excuse for a hairstyle, thanks to Bruno Mars who made it in-trend and people like what's in-trend now and Blaine also-"

Rachel run over to grab his shoulders to stop him from ranting, "Hey. Hey Kurt. Stop it. Okay? You're rambling. You worry too much."

"How can I not be worrying too much? this guy is trying to steal my boyfriend and you just told me that he sings like a freaking broadway star!"

"Yes, I know that but there is nothing going to happen to you and Blaine."

"Of course something's going to happen! Blaine will hear him sing and decided that he likes what he hears and leave me because he realized he can do so much better than me, the gay kid who he had to settle for since he saved him from being bullied and-"

"Kurt, STOP IT! Just stop, okay? What are talking about? Settled for you? Kurt, come on. Are you even listening to yourself? Look," She sat down beside him on the bed and hold his hands.

"Blaine loves you, alright? He loves you and no one else. He did not just settled for you. You two are perfect for each other, okay? And there is nothing that Sebastian could do with or without his talent that is going to steal him away from you. I believe that Blaine wouldn't fall for Sebastian advance and so should you. Don't you trust him?" Rachel said to a near sobbing Kurt. She grab the tissue box on her bedside drawer and hand it to him.

"Of course I do."

"Then you should stop worrying! Trust is really important in a relationship. It can either make you stronger as a couple, or make you fall apart." She said.

Kurt wiped some tears and sighs. "It's just... sometimes I feel myself as so out of Blaine's league, you know? He is this amazing guy who is so talented and I just feel that he could do so much more than just be with me."

"That is because he loves you, Kurt. No other guy would come to a school full of vicious bullies to just be with a guy that he can settle for a while. And you are just talented as anybody else in that choir room of ours. Kurt. He wants you. Not Sebastian or anybody else. Okay? Besides, I'll kill him if he does, anyway." Kurt laughs and Rachel smiles.

"Thanks, Princess."

"You're welcome. Now, stop crying and get out. Mike will be here any minute and I need to lock the house down before we head out. Daddies are having dinner tonight and won't come back until late." She ushered the boy from her room and reach for her bags.

"You want some company later? I could call up Blaine and we could hang out." Kurt offered.

"That's okay. I think I'm going to call Finn and ask him to come over. We haven't been spending so much time together. I miss him."

"Wait, didn't he stayed over here last night?" Kurt asks. He realized the mistake he made as Rachel turn around and had a questioning look on her face and said that Finn didn't stayed over after he dropped her off at her house last night.

"Oh, I just thought that he was with you since he didn't came home last night. Not until 6 A.M this morning. Don't worry I'm sure he just went to a drink or something with the other boys to celebrate. I mean, maybe Puck managed to steal some booze or something." He thread his words carefully.

He and Rachel both know that that was highly impossible thing to happen since Finn is still a bit distant with Puck and Sam too ever since he starts living with Rachel. He was shocked to learn that Finn wasn't here last night.

Finn wouldn't cheat on Rachel, would he?

Rachel was thinking the same thing when a horn blasted through the house. Mike has arrive and the two of them went down and mutters their goodbyes. As Kurt went to his car, he looks over to Mike's and his heart tore a bit at the confused and sad expression on his best friends face. Sighing, he revved up the engine and drove away, cursing his step-brother for being such an idiot.


"I gotta say, It's been what? Three weeks now and you already got the second base of the dancing pretty good. I'm impressed." Russell, Rachel dance instructor commented to Rachel who was breathing hard. She thanked him and turn over to face Mike. He was also breathing hard as they both just finished a new dance steps (well, new for her, that is).

"I told you I would get it all done by the end of the month. I still have one more week and I'm already a pro at this." She said smugly.

Mike rolls his eyes while Russell chuckles, "Hey now, don't get too psyched up. You still have plenty to learn. And it will be harder." Russell warns her.

"I can handle it. I've been dancing since I was two and won every single dance competition daddy had sent me too." Well, there was one she didn't won but she was assured that the girl who won it was actually the niece of one the judges and that she won because of her obvious relation.

The girl went back home crying because Rachel accidently pour the entire fruit punch over her and her trophy broke when she slipped to the floors.

Not one of her finest moments, she have to admit.

"Of course you are. Until then, get your asses out of here and practice everyday. Mike, gave her some breaking steps and make sure she got it down by next Saturday. Now, get the fuck outta here." Russell commanded to the two kids and left to his office. Rachel and Mike pick up their bags and walk through the door from the studio, chatting away. Unaware of the other person heading towards them, Rachel bumped her shoulders with the other person and crash to the floor. She gave a small curse (she was getting too used to Russell's and Mike's crude vocabulary) and gave her apologies to the other person without looking.

"Watch where you're going next time, you dwarf. You nearly broke my nail!" The person said getting up.

Rachel groans and knew who it was before she even look at her.

Getting herself up with a hand from Mike, Rachel watches as Stacy Robert stands in front of her and slaps the smudge off her skirts. The tall blonde scowl at her before turning her gaze over at Mike and her eyes softens.

"Hey, there Chang. Hows it going?" She said flirtingly. Rachel snorted and cross her arms over her chest.

"Umm, it's alright. You're going to your ballet lesson?" He said, indicationg the ballet flats she had hanging around her shoulders.

Stacy giggled and flips her hair (Rachel wanted to gag), "Yeah, I've been taking lesson since I was ten. Mrs. Richards said I was her best student in class." She said nasally.

"I'm sure that's the only achievement you can have." Rachel remarked snidely under her breath. Stacy look ready to kill her on the spot and Mike chuckling only made her see red.

It was common knowledge to know that Stacy wasn't the brightest blub on the christmas tree. She was dumber than anybody else that has ever grace McKinley High (that is saying something when they already have Finn and Brittany. Well, not Britt though because Brittany did went to that scholastic quiz last year. At least she understands the lessons in class). But of course because of her beautiful luscious red hair and that long legs she uses for her cheerleading career, she was named the new 'Princess' of McKinley High.

Santana is still the 'Queen' of it.

The junior girl also completed her title with having a bitchy attitude and was mean to everyone she deemed losers.

"You're just jealous that I could actually look beautiful when I dance, instead of looking like some hobbit dancing around the camp fire. Just give up, RuPaul. You're never going to be as good as me." Stacy said coolly.

Mike wanted to tell her that Rachel was ten times better than Stacy was a dancer but Rachel puts her hand on his chest, stopping him. It was fruitless to battle it out with the other girl.

"Of course I would be jealous of a girl whose only talents is to dance poorly and couldn't even tell a different from one foot to the other. Please, excuse us before I bawled my eyes out crying for my unfortunate life." Rachel said sarcastically.

Apparently, Stacy didn't get the tone right because she looked shock, "Oh my God, I'm like so sorry, Berry. I didn't want to make you like, cry. I know how hard it is being a loser at everything and having like me to compare. Well, I don't know actually but it must feel so bad like if how it feel to have Brangelina break up! OMG, I'm like so sorry. But this does not mean we're like friends, though. You're still like the biggest loser, Berry."

Mike stare at the girl in disbelief. Seriously?

"Duly noted. Come on, Mike." Rachel drags the still open mouthed Mike out from the studio and into the car.

"Was she serious?" Mike said once he registered what happen. He didn't know someone could be that dumb and vain. At least Brittany makes some sense.

"I gather that she was. Ignore her. She's been harassing me and teasing me every time we see each other after she acknowledge my taking classes here. I don't know what's her problem." Rachel shooks her head and pull out her phone to check if she had any miss calls or texts. There was one from Kurt asking her to come over to the Lima Bean to hang out with him and Blaine and there was a voice message from her father saying that her aunt Susan got into an small accident and they are visiting her at the hospital in so they would be back late. No text or miss call from Finn, as usual. She replies Kurt texts, stating that she would meet them and immediately got a text back from him saying that they be there ten minutes from now. She turn over to Mike and ask him if she could drop her off downtown so she could walk over to some stores before going over to the little caffe and invited him along.

"Nah, I gotta get back. Tina wants me to take her to that new movie tonight. Something about vampires and angels." He said.

They drove downtown in a comfortable silence and Rachel bid her goodbye when they arrived. As Mike drove away, she make the trek towards the lines of stores and shops around the corner.

She went into a drugstore and look over through the shelves, trying to locate the sets of shampoo and bath foam she always use. She found it and picks some other things along the way. She went in line and waited for her turn to pay.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Ms. Rachel Berry. Decided to grace your annoying presence to us common people, have you?"

Of course he would be here. Rachel turn around and had to take a step back. Sebastian was standing too close behind her and it fazes her to be so. Seeing that smirk on his face, Rachel restrain herself from slapping it away.

Here is the guy who made her best friend cried and lose confidence in himself and dared to break up her best friends relationship.

"Sebastian. I would say it's nice to see you, but then I would be lying." She said cockily.

"Sentiment is return. But I have to say, you look good all flushed and in tight capris. Dance class?"

Rachel blush at the compliment and glare at the boy, who smirk just got bigger. He gave her a once-over and Rachel zipped up her sweater trying to cover herself and turn back around.

"Yes. Now, I'm going to ignore you and you should do the same because I hate you." she said moving forward in line.

Sebastian puts a hand over his heart, "Oh, that hurts Rachel. Really. Right here." He said mockingly. "You don't hate me. You don't even know me."

"I don't need to know you to hate you. You're trying to break up my best friends! That is good enough reason to it. And it's never going to work, by the way."

He sniggers, "keep telling yourself that. But don't get mad when Blaine is mine." He said confidently.

Rachel humped and went to the counter, placing her items to be bought. "Why are you here, anyway?"

He raised his hands, holding a filled basket, "Buying some stuffs to load up the room. Which reminds me," Rachel hunches as he leans over towards the counter and scooped up a pack of condom boxes (extra large size, she noted).

"Always be safe and prepare, right?"

She try to avoid his eyes as she could feel herself blushing and throw in a small curse when she hears him laughing. Rachel quickly pay her things and left the drugstore. It wasn't long after she hears him calling for her.

"Hey, Rachel. Wait up!"

She ignores and increase her pace but damn those long legs of his!

"Hey, slow down. I was wondering where are you headin?" He asks, walking beside her.

She stop and look at the Warbler who was putting away his purchases in his brown messenger bag that looked very expensive.

"Why?" She asked curiously.

"Nothing. Just wondering. Thought we have some coffee together and maybe I could slip in some poison in your coffee so that you can stay clear out of my way in pursuit of getting Blaine."

Sebastian stuff his purchases and glance up to a pale looking Rachel.

"Just kidding." He added.

The girl glares at him and continue walking.

"I'm going over to meet some friends."

"Are these friends of yours happen to be Blaine and Kurt?" He asked.

Shoot, she should have said something else!

"If I say no, will you stop following me?"

"Of course not." He replied.

"Why not?"

"Because I know you are meeting up with Blaine and Kurt since I assumed with your highly obnoxious personality that you don't have many friends to hang out with."

"I'll have you know that I have friends and it is you who has the obnoxious personality. Plus, you are the one who's following me around as if you don't have any friends to be with." Rachel retorts back.

"Who needs friends when I know I can have Blaine? Besides, there's no way I'm going to fucking hang around with Jeff and Nick when you're around. They make me want to gag." he said annoyed.

"Awww, I didn't know you were jealous."

"I'm not jealous."

"Sure looks like jealousy to me. Whatever, look-" she said before Sebastian could argue back, "I have to go. My friends are probably already there and it's awful seeing you. Let's make sure this doesn't happen again. Stop following me, Okay? Bye!"

"Wait- Rachel!"

She runs away around the block, out of Sebastian sights. She runs a little more until she was sure that he didn't follow and make her way to the Lima Bean, taking a deep breath. There was not too many people inside as she scans around the cafe and spotted her two best gay and slumped graciously on the chair when she reached their table.

The boys gave their greetings and kisses her cheeks. Blaine offered to get her some coffee to which she nodded and for some water as well. Blaine went to the counter while Kurt asked her how her dance lessons went.

"It was fine. Russell told me I've impressed him and I had another 'Stacy Attack'." She said to him.

Kurt snorted, "Ugh, what is the problem with that hyena? Did you know that yesterday at school she called Blaine a fag and then asked for his number 'to like I don't know, play some guitars and like sing to me?'" Rachel laughs as Kurt imitated the cheerleader nasally voice and pretends to play with his hair.

"I mean, what the hell? As if it's not enough I have another guy trying to steal my boyfriend!" Kurt shouted.

Rachel remembered her encounter with Sebastian and quickly wanted to warn her friend that the boy was here in town, "Kurt, I have to tell you something before Blaine gets back..."

"Oh my God." Kurt breaths out staring behind her. Rachel groans and knew who it was before she could even turn to look.

"Hey there, Kurt." Sebastian greets in blase.

Blaine just got back from getting Rachel coffee was surprise to see the Warbler and eyes warily at first to Kurt while giving Rachel her coffee.

"Hello Sebastian." Kurt said coolly to which Sebastian nodded. Sebastian beams over at Blaine who reluctantly says his hello.

Sebastian eyes drift lower to the petite girl who was scowling at him. He could not resist but to smile smugly, "Hey Rachel. It's good to see you again so soon."

Rachel look alarmingly over at her two friends who was staring at her curiously. She never mentioned seeing Sebastian or even talk about Sebastian since Sectionals to them.

"W-we we bumped into each other at the drugstore before I came here." she sputters. Blaine nodded at her while Kurt was still staring at her.

"Yeah, she told me that she was meeting some people but she didn't say that she was meeting you guys. I would have come with!" he explained cheerfully.

That's why I didn't! Rachel screamed in her head.

Blaine nodded, "Would you like to join us?" he nearly flinched in his seat when both Rachel and Kurt whipped their heads to glare at him. Big mistake.

"Sure, thanks!" Sebastian replied, ignoring the tensions and anger that was circulating around him and takes an empty seat between Rachel and Blaine facing Kurt.

"Oh, Kurt would you mine getting me some mild black coffee with some cream in it. Here's the money."

Sebastian casually pass a few bucks on the table in front of Kurt, who face was full of disbelief.

Whatever, he needs to be with Blaine alone right now. It's been a long time since he last saw him.

"Rachel maybe you could help him too." Might as well get rid of the midget while at it.

Rachel closes her mouth and quickly assess the situation. She exhales heavily and grabs the money on the table. "How about we go together Sebastian? Blaine messed up my coffee again, so I need to buy another one." she said putting her hands under his to pull him up. He wouldn't budge.

"Why don't you get it for me, then? You see, I haven't seen Blaine for a very long time and- Ow! You pinched me!" He shouted and tries to pull his hands away from her but couldn't since she holds them too damn tight.

"What? No I didn't! Now, be a good gentleman and escort me to the counter. Hurry." She drags the Warbler, who stumbles on his chair and followed the diva. Kurt and Blaine tries to hold back from laughing. Both knowing what she was doing and was grateful for it.

Once they were safely within ears and plain sight of the couple, Sebastian shrugges his hands off Rachel, only to have her hands grasp his blazers instead.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? You just made me embarrass myself in front of Blaine!" He shouted.

"Well, you should have thought about that before you try to send Kurt and me away! What? You think you can just send us to your bidding while you flirt with Blaine, huh? I don't think so. I told you you're not going to get Blaine, remember? One mild coffee with creamer, right?"

Sebastian nodded and Rachel told the barista to add in some vegan croissant and a chicken pie as well since she remembered how he seemed to enjoyed it last time they were here.

"So, this is how it's going to be, huh? You come in and destroy any plan of me trying to be with Blaine. Is that it?" He askes as they move to wait their orders.

"Yes. I'd told you once and I'll say it again. Don't mess with Klaine. They are my best friends and I'll make sure you that whatever you do, you will fail." she threatened.

The two teens glower at each other before breaking it up when their orders arrive. Rachel took her croissant as Sebastian took his coffee and the chicken pie and walk over silently to the table.

"Bring it on." Sebastian whispers at her ear before helping himself to his chair and immediately started conversing with Blaine, asking him how he was doing and everything.

Rachel could feel herself getting boiled up and sit herself delicately before munching the croissant angrily. She looks over to Kurt who gave her an inquiry brow.

She jut her lips in the direction of the warbler and make an angry face at Kurt who giggled at the ridiculous-ness of her friend and leans over to whispers, "It's okay, Blaine said not to worry and that Sebastian means nothing to him and he knows what he's doing. I have faith in him."

Rachel was glad to hear his words and released the tension in her body. She observes as Sebastian continues to tell Blaine how the other day at Dalton Nick and Jeff started Nerf Guns war on their dorms and how there are still nerf bullets around the ceilings but the teacher's ignores it.

Blaine laughs along with him and said how he missed Dalton's life but would never trade it for his life now with Kurt at McKinley, "and Rachel, of course." he added Rachel made a face at him and laughs. Sebastian smiles fakely before he piped up.

"Hey, why don't you come over to Dalton? I'm sure everyone would like to see you again." He suggested to Blaine.

"I don't think that is such a good idea." Kurt said.

"I-I,I agree. Umm, we're competing against each other at regionals. It wouldn't be appropriate if he do." Rachel added. Sebastian is already forming his plan now, she could see it. Trying to bring Blaine over to Dalton.

"Nonsense. I'm sure the guys wouldn't mind at all." Sebastian argues. He glares over at Kurt and Rachel. They were trying to ruin his plans!

Blaine bit his lips thinking it all over, "No, they're right. I mean, it's not like I'm spying if I'm there at all but it still wouldn't be cool if I went there. I don't know man. Maybe next time." Blaine said. His voice solemn and lips pouting.

Rachel felt guilty at Blaine and looks over at Kurt who also looked guilty. Too guilty to actually let Blaine go over to Dalton by himself. No! Rachel thought.

"You know what, who cares what they'll think. Go to Dalton!" She said, much to the surprise of all boys.

"You mean it?" Blaine asked hopefully. He really missed his friends.

"You're sure?" Sebastian asked, wondering what her motive were.

"Seriously?" Kurt asked in shock.

"Yeah, why not? I mean, we're all friends with the warblers right? I'm sure they all missed Blaine and Kurt, their former Warblers and I promised Nick and Jeff I would visit them whenever I'm free. Thank you, Sebastian for the offer by the way." she said cheekily.

Fuck! Sebastian wanted to roar in rage. "You mean, you want to go to Dalton too?" he said while staring at her, daring her to say yes.

Rachel was undettered, "Yes, I just assume that I could go since you extended your invitation to me as well and I simply can't refuse!" She beams at him.

"Hah...umm, when did I 'extended' my invitation?" he asked as he tries to keep his smile at bay. He could not hold it anymore. The girl is fucking ruining his plans and he's fucking mad!

And despite himself, amused as well.

"Oh, don't be such a spoil sport, Sebastian! Oh, I can't wait to go there, now! When do you suppose we could?" she puts her palm on his shoulders. She could his rage through it and smiles. Excellent!

" Could what?" he snarls.

"Visit Dalton, you silly goon." she slaps his shoulder and giggled. By now, Kurt and Blaine both understood what she was doing and could only chortle in their seats and watch as the scene unfolds.

Sebastian sighs before looking over at Blaine, "You guys can come over this wednesday. Warblers are usually let off early from class to practice and lately practice ends pretty early. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you guys come by then."

Kurt clap his hands happily, "We'll be there. Oh, now I'm excited too." Rachel laughs along with her best friend and was followed by Blaine. The two boys wonder in their heads how cunning their friend is and couldn't help but love her for it.

Sebastian convulse in his chair and sips his coffee. He smiles at Blaine who turns to look at him but drops the act once Blaine face that fucking boyfriend of his.

His elbows bumped into Rachel's when she leaned her body across the table, trying to hear what Blaine and Kurt said to her. When she glance up at him, he watches as her eyes changes from being warm and pleasant to a fiery glare and a small smirk grace her lips.

Fuck! He thought.
