Thank you, guys!

It was an interesting dream, huh? Maybe it has something to do with Kurt's power. You can find out from this chapter if it was a dream or something more.

It's a Klaine story, don't worry, they will get together eventually.

Yes, Blaine is an idiot and should tell Burt about Sebastian. Maybe he will. Maybe not. But Burt will find out in the next chapter.

I know my English is far from perfect, especially when I'm tired. Sadly, it's not my first (or second) language. But I promise that I will do my best.

Blaine's eyes were burning from the crying earlier. He hadn't slept more than a few hours and when he had woken up, he felt that stinging sensation. Unfortunately, it hadn't gone away from a shower and some coffee.

He was on the streets again, although Burt had told him to have some more rest when he had seen how tired Blaine looked. But he couldn't stay in his room any longer, he needed to go out and have some fresh air. He took out his map and went through the possible crime scenes. He knew it was almost unnecessary, he should have picked one of them and wait there for Sebastian to show up. He would have a better chance to catch him that way but he couldn't wait any longer. He had to finish that case as soon as possible. He couldn't live with the guilt that he had let the man go, jeoparding lives of innocents.

After visiting two jeweleries he realised that he didn't pay attention at all. He just went through the buildings quickly, not really checking the security systems or searching for signs of Sebastian. He growled and hit the brick wall beside him. He couldn't be so careless right now.

A little voice in the back of his mind told him that he should go back to the Hudmels and tell Burt everything. He hated that voice, the rational one, that knew what would be the best. The other one, telling him he would be in trouble if he told Burt everything, was more likeable. Of course he knew that Burt would get to know what he had done sooner or later, but if he could catch Sebastian before that... maybe he could stay. And he had to stay because of Kurt.

"Look, my favourite bird is here!"

Blaine jumped and turned around quickly. Too quickly. He wasn't careful enough and looked straight into those bright green eyes.

"Don't move and don't use your power" Sebastian said as he stepped out of the shadows.

It wasn't like the last time Blaine had been under the control of the man's power. When everything had been so blurry, he hadn't been himself, his head hadn't been clear...

"Interesting how helpful this little stone can be, right?" Sebastian asked, showing him the gemstone in his hand.

"What do you want, Sebastian?" Blaine asked and tried to remain calm, although it was hard when he was unable to move.

"I just came to say 'hi'" the man answered and stepped into Blaine's personal space.

Blaine pressed his lips together and tried to break free with all of his strength, but his legs refused to move.

"Why are you so angry, Blainey?" Sebastian asked and stroked his cheek. "I thought you would be happy to see me."

"Let me go" Blaine growled.

"No" Sebastian said and grabbed his chin. "I hated the way we parted. It was all your fault, you know?"

"But... you..." Blaine stuttered as he stared down at the man under him. He needed all of his willpower to not let go of his wrists, to not let him go.

"Surprise!" Sebastian laughed. "Oh, you're so naive. I can't believe you haven't realised it earlier."

"Please, tell me this is not true" Blaine said, shaking his head.

His grip on Sebastian's wrists loosened and the man slipped out from under him.

"It's true and you know that" Sebastian said. "You've known it for a long time. You just didn't want to believe it."

Blaine shook his head again. Yes, he knew there was something wrong with Sebastian... Okay, maybe more than wrong, but they had been together for two years! Sebastian wouldn't have played with him for so long... Would he?

"Why did you do this to me?" he asked quietly.

Deep down in his mind, he knew he should attack the man immediately. Sebastian was stronger than him, or at last could use his power better than Blaine could his own. His only chance was to take him by surprise. But he knew it would mean hurting the man and he knew he wasn't capable of that.

"Oh, come on, Blaine, it's not that bad" Sebastian said and stepped closer. "You couldn't really think this is what I want to do with my life. Chasing criminals in the middle of the night for not enough money to pay the rent... This is not how I want to live."

He stepped behind Blaine and put his arms around him. He smiled when Blaine didn't pull away, his emotions making him unable to move.

"Just think about it. If we would work together... we could have everything we want. Money, cars, jewelry, champagne. You could get into NYADA and live for your dreams" Sebastian whispered into his ear.

"No" Blaine said and pulled away. "I'm not like that."

"Of course not" Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Then what do you want to do, Blainey?"

"I-I will send you to jail. That's what I have to do" Blaine said uncertainly.

Sebastian laughed and shook his head.

"We both know you won't. You could have attacked me, but you didn't. You know why? Because you're not capable of hurting your loved ones. That's what makes you weak."

"Why are you here?" Blaine asked. "I let you go, you were free. Why did you come here, risking your freedom?"

"Because I miss you" Sebastian said. "We were great together, I want to get you back. Join me, Blaine. Let's leave this boring little town. We can go anywhere you want."

Blaine shook his head.

"No" he said simply. "You know I'm not like you, I will never be."

Sebastian sighed and pulled away.

"I wouldn't be so sure" he said. "I know this is a serious decision, so I'm willing to give you some time to think about it."

"I don't have to think about it. I would never join you" Blaine growled.

"We will see" Sebastian said and turned to leave but he stopped after a few steps. "Oh, and Blaine, you'd better not tell anyone about us. I really don't want anybody to get hurt because of your stupidity."

Sebastian disappeared from Blaine's sight without giving the man chance to ask what he had meant, leaving the still frozen superhero with his thoughts.

Kurt was sitting nervously in the principal's office. He had told his father everything, well, almost everything Karofsky had done to him, and the older man had become incredibly angry. Kurt had tried to talk him out of going to the principal, but Burt hadn't listened. He had been determined to talk to Karofsky and his dad in the presence of the principal.

"So it seems the situation has reached the boiling point" Sue sighed after hearing Kurt out. Kurt almost smiled. If they had known everything...

"You're damn right, it has" Burt growled.

"Nothing happened" Karofsky said.

Burt slammed his fists on the coffee table, breaking it in two.

"I'll tell you what really happened" he said. "Mr Karofsky-"

"My name's Paul" Paul Karofsky cut in.

"Paul, your kid was bullying my son, causing him some serious injuries" Burt said and felt the need to hit something. Kurt had showed him his back the previous night and it looked horrible.

"Porcelain? Is that true?" Principal Sylvester asked.

"That's not true. I didn't do anything" Karofsky said before Kurt could nod.

"That's what he did. He did horrible things" Kurt muttered, looking down.

"What do you mean?" the principal asked.

Kurt's eyes widened. Maybe he had said too much.

"Just... Throwing me into dumpsters. Locking me into the rest room. Things like that" he said hastily.

"He's making all this stuff up" Karofsky said, looking at Kurt with furious eyes.

"Oh, is that right?" Burt asked, grabbing into the remaining piece of the coffee table. The wood broke easily under his touch and Sue shook her head in disapproval. She had bought that table only a few weeks earlier.

"Hold on a sec" Paul Karofsky said and turned to his son. "You have been acting differently lately, David. You used to have A's and B's. You're talking back, you're acting out, and now we're sitting here. So let me ask you: why would Kurt make that up?"

"Maybe he likes me" Karofsky shrugged, smiling briefly. Kurt rolled his eyes.

"I think we're wasting our time here. It's your job to protect people" Burt said, turning to the principal.

"Couldn't agree more" Sue nodded. "After hearing both sides of the story, you're hereby expelled. I will not have one student bullying another. If you don't think it's fair, well, you can appeal to the school board. You'll leave the campus immediately."

Karofsky shot another furious glare towards Kurt as he and his father stood up.

"I appreciate your time" Mr Karofsky said and left, grabbing his son's arm at the door and pulling him towards the exit.

"Thank you" Burt said and stood up, too. "And sorry for your table."

"No problem. I wanted to buy another one anyway" Sue sighed and flopped down into her chair when she was finally left alone, looking at the ruins of her coffee table. She couldn't believe adult superheroes couldn't control their powers. She really liked that table and now she had to take some money from the glee club's budget to get a new one. She smiled at the thought. Maybe she could convince Burt Hummel to come in more often and destroy the furniture in her office.

Blaine couldn't stop pacing in his room. He had come back hours ago – right after he had been able to move again – and locked himself into his room. When Carole had come to ask him if he wanted breakfast, he had pretended to be asleep. He just couldn't face the Hudmels.

Luckily, the house had become empty in an hour. The boys had left for school, Burt had gone to work and Carole had joined him. He had been left alone and it had been the first time he could finally relax a bit.

He sat down, forcing his brain to work. He knew he didn't have too much time and he had to figure out what to do. Accepting Sebastian's proposition was out of question. He had known it the first time when the man had asked him to join him. No, Blaine wasn't like that. He couldn't hurt people, he couldn't take away others' money. But he knew Sebastian wouldn't leave him alone, he wouldn't accept his decision. That's why he was there.

Blaine bit his lip as a plan started forming in his mind. Maybe if he wouldn't be in the town... Sebastian would leave, too. He wouldn't stay any longer, and then Lima would be safe. And most impontant, Kurt would be safe.

He sighed and went to the wardrobe, taking out his bag. He knew what he had to do. It was painful to even think about it, but it would be the best for everybody. He had to pack his things and leave. Maybe that night, when he was sure everybody else was sleeping, they wouldn't notice it. Yeah, that's what he had to do.

He started planning his fleeing and he even started packing his things. Unfortunately, he didn't realise how late it was, or the opening of the front door. When he heard somebody knocking on his door, he jumped.

"Blaine, can I come in?" Kurt asked from the other side.

"No, no, no, no" Blaine whispered and threw some of his things back into the wardrobe, slamming the door. "Come in!"

Kurt opened the door and stepped inside. His eyes widened as he saw Blaine's things all around the room and the man standing beside the wardrobe.

"What happened here?" he asked in confusion.

"I... Uhm... I've just started cleaning the room" Blaine said and forced out a small smile. "You know... because it's messy."

"Really? Why do you think that?" Kurt laughed.

"So... why are you here?" Blaine asked and made them enough place on the bed to sit down.

"Oh! I just want to know when we're leaving tonight" Kurt said.

"Uhm, what?" Blaine asked. He didn't know what Kurt was talking about.

"We've won a dinner, remember?" Kurt asked slowly.

Oh. The dinner. He totally forgot.

"Yeah, yeah. Uhm, around 8?" Blaine asked.

"I have to come back before 10" Kurt anwered.

"Right, the curfew... Then 6?" Blaine asked.

"That would be great" Kurt smiled briefly. "If you still want to go out with me, of course."

"Why wouldn't I?" Blaine asked. He really didn't understand. He thought that Kurt wanted to spend that night together.

"I just... I don't know. You seem to be distracted lately, I really don't want to cause more trouble for you" Kurt said. And because I caught you crying over another man's photo yesterday.

"Hey, it's fine" Blaine smiled. "I'm just tired, that's all. I think I really need a night off if I look that bad."

"You don't..." Kurt started but stopped because of Blaine's laughing. "Have I told you how much I hate you?"

"Several times" Blaine nodded. "Come on, let's get ready. You better look fabulous or I won't take you out."

Kurt rolled his eyes but said nothing. When he finally left, Blaine leaned against the wall and sighed. Maybe he shouldn't have done that but if he had to leave... he needed a night with Kurt Hummel. He needed a reminder of that fantastic boy.

Blaine expected something else when they arrived at Breadstix. He knew Kurt was excited to go out with him, and he thought they would finally have some time to get to know each other better without thinking about their problems. But Kurt was so distant the whole time. He was like the first time they had met. He barely talked, never smiled and only looked at Blaine a few times. Something was wrong with him.

Blaine knew Kurt wouldn't talk in the presence of so many people, so he finished his dinner fast and waited for Kurt. Then he grabbed the boy's hand and led him to the park. It was empty just like always that time of the day, they had it all to theirselves. Blaine showed the way to his favourite bench under a big oak tree and sat down. Kurt hesitated for a second, looking around nervously, but finally took a place beside Blaine.

"Why are we here?" Kurt asked.

"You didn't seem to feel well in the restaurant. I thought you would like to get away from people" Blaine said, not looking at Kurt.

"It's not that..." Kurt started but didn't finish his sentence. He closed his eyes and shook his head.

"What's wrong?" Blaine asked.

"You should tell me" Kurt said, looking up at Blaine. "You're so distant lately. You lock yourself in your room and don't talk to anyone."

Blaine's eyes widened.

"I... I have some trouble with this case we're working on. Nothing serious" he tried to smile.

"No, it's not that" Kurt said and shook his head. "Is it... because of me? I cause you too much trouble, right?"

"No, Kurt, of course not" Blaine said immediately and grabbed Kurt's hands.

"Then why are you acting like this?" Kurt asked.

"I-I can't tell you..." Blaine said.

Kurt pulled back his hands and stood up.

"I think I should go home" he said and turned to leave.

"Please, don't go" Blaine said and grabbed the boy's hand again. He couldn't let Kurt go. He couldn't let it end like this. He wouldn't stay too long but he couldn't leave before...

Kurt turned back and now he was only inches away from him. Blaine looked down at Kurt's beautiful pink lips and couldn't resist touching them gently. He found himself moving closer, the distance smaller and smaller with every blink, and then he closed his eyes as his lips met Kurt's.

It was like electricity running through his veins, he had never felt like that earlier. He put his arms around Kurt, pressing his hands to the boy's back as he deepened the kiss. It felt so good, if they could have stayed like that forever...

Kurt... Sebastian... dangerous...

Blaine pulled back sharply and almost fell through the bench from the sudden movement.

"Blaine, it's okay..." Kurt stepped closer.

"No, it's not!" Blaine shouted and Kurt jumped back.

"Why?" Kurt asked quietly

"I... I just can't, Kurt. I want to, I really want to, but..." Blaine wished he could tell Kurt everything.

"But what?" Kurt asked.

"I'm sorry, Kurt" Blaine whispered, looking away.

Kurt closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths.

"I'm going home" he said finally and turned to leave before Blaine could respond.

He almost reached the exit when he heard Blaine's footsteps behind him.

"I'm coming with you" Blaine said.

"No!" Kurt shouted over his shoulder. "Just... Just leave me alone, Blaine."

Kurt left quickly, crossing the road to get away from Blaine as soon as possible. Blaine stopped at the park's entrance, looking after him sadly. He screwed it up, just like everything else in his life that was important for him. He was such an idiot.

Hiding in the shadow of an old tree, Sebastian was smiling widely as he watched Blaine and the boy. He knew there was something between them and what he had just seen gave him a good idea.

"Oh, Blaine, you're making it so easy for me."
