Moving Beyond
Part 10
"It's about time you got here. I've been here for over twenty minutes."
"Well, my head still hurts after last night."
"From the looks of you though, it looks as though last night was a success."
"Not exactly."
"What do you mean? You're black and blue and are those stitches?"
"True. And yes, these are stitches, but Sebastian isn't the one that did it."
"I thought you said it wouldn't be a problem to get him pissed off enough to throw a punch."
"I got him pissed off alright, but he never threw one, which was weird because he's never had a problem punching someone when he's pissed. But you really should've warned me about your boy."
"Are you saying Blaine did this to you? Blaine would never do something like this."
"Well, he sure did. He's got one heck of a right hook."
"Are you sure it was Blaine?"
"I'm positive, because Sebastian actually introduced me to him. He definitely wasn't what I was expecting."
"How so?"
"Just the way you described him wasn't what I saw last night. He's got an edge to him that you didn't mention."
"I doubt that."
"Well it's true."
"I should've knowing something was fucking up with the way you provoked Seb last night." Josh and Kurt looked up to see Thad and Beat standing next to their table. "I really thought you were smarter than this Josh."
"It was all Hummel's idea. He came to Scandal's looking for anyone that knew Sebastian and was willing to mess with him. I wasn't too sure about it, but the money he offered was too good to pass up. All I was supposed to do was get Sebastian to hit me than call the cops on him."
"Thanks for nothing." Kurt said as he glared across the table at Josh.
"I think it's time for you to go Josh." The looks Thad and Beat shot at Josh were enough for him to quickly get up and leave. "I think it's time we had a little talk Kurt." Thad said as they sat down.
"I've got nothing to say to you."
"Well, you're going to listen then. Leave them alone! This constant need to mess with them is bordering on pathetic. They're happy and you need to move on."
"It's going to be short lived."
"Then you need some glasses. Because from what I can see and I'm around them basically all the time, this isn't some mindless fling for either of them. They really care about each other."
"Smythe doesn't know how to care about anyone but himself."
"You're wrong about that."
"Good lord, does he have the rest of you snowed as well. He's a self-righteous, pompous ass. I thought you boys at Dalton were supposed to be smart."
"We are. And just so you know, this little stunt of yours isn't going to get swept under the rug. I fully intend on telling Blaine and Seb all about it. And if I was you, I'd be a heck of a lot more worried about Blaine's reaction to all this than Seb's."
It was about ten o'clock when a constant buzzing sound woke them. "What is that Bas?" Blaine asked, not really wanting to move.
"That would be the gate buzzer."
"Can you find out who it is without letting them know we're here?"
"Yes, but not from here."
They didn't have to guess much longer as Sebastian's phone soon rang. "Open the gate Seb; we know you and Blaine are inside. We need to talk."
"Just give me a sec." Sebastian mumbled before hanging up. "It's Thad." As Sebastian slowly sat up in bed he really didn't want to move. Last night ended up being way more than he and Blaine had probably expected as they tried quite a few things throughout the night. "Please tell me you're as sore as I am." Sebastian asked as he went to grab a pair of sweats out of his dresser.
"That's a definite yes." Blaine replied as he carefully sat up. "We're going to be quite the sight."
"Are you going to come down?" Sebastian asked after putting his sweats on.
"I'll be down in a sec. Just let me put some pants on." After he answered Sebastian walked over and gave him a quick morning kiss before heading down stairs. "Thad better have a damn good reason for being here." Blaine thought to himself as he grabbed some lounge pants out of his bag.
He'd just gotten down the stairs when he saw Thad and Beat come walking in. "Sorry for waking you guys." Thad said as he noticed just how tired they both looked. It was pretty obvious that he woke them. "But this really couldn't wait."
"Follow me." Sebastian said as he headed for the family room. Once they were all seated Sebastian just looked across at Thad and Beat who were sitting on the other couch. "What's going on?"
"It's about last night."
"I don't want to talk about it." Blaine said as he rested his head on Sebastian's shoulder. "The guy was an ass."
"Yes, he was. But he didn't just provoke Seb for just any reason."
"What are you talking about Thad?" Sebastian asked. "Yes, Josh is slime. But I'm pretty sure he was just being really obnoxious in trying to put the moves on B."
"That's not what happened Seb. Someone paid him to pick a fight with you. They hoped you'd take a swing so they could get you arrested. Last thing they ever imagined was that Blaine would've been the one to throw the punch. Which was amazing, if I do say so. All that sparring you and Dave do really paid off."
"You've got to be kidding me." Blaine said as Sebastian wrapped an arm around him.
"Sorry Blaine."
"Are you sure about this?" Sebastian asked, to which they both nodded.
"We stopped by the Lima Bean this morning and happened to see Josh sitting with Kurt. And well, we overheard a good portion of the conversation."
"Did you confront them?"
"Yes. Josh quickly left, but then we had a little talk with Kurt. Well, technically I talked and he listened."
"Considering his last run-in with you, I doubt he was happy to see you."
"He wasn't. And he's damn lucky I heard this in public, because otherwise I would've kicked his ass for you. He really thinks what's going on between you two is just a fling. He seemed pretty appalled when I told him it was more than that."
"Doesn't surprise me one bit." Blaine told them. "He just can't seem to get it through his head that I've moved on."
"Plus he thinks Seb here is incapable of caring about anyone but himself."
"That's because he doesn't know Bas like the rest of us do." Blaine words were met with a kiss on top of his head.
"You are taking this way better than I thought you would."
"That's because as of right now, I'm too fucking tired to give a damn. My thoughts on the matter will probably change once I'm more awake."
"You guys know if you need any of us to do anything, we're there for you, right?" Beat told them.
"We know." Sebastian replied. "So, has any decision been made as to what we're all doing tonight?"
"Not yet that I know of. But heck, most of the guys were still asleep when we left this morning." Thad said. "Do you guys have a preference that I can share if they haven't yet come up with something?" Sebastian looked down at Blaine who just shook his head.
"Not really. But I'm personally for a quiet evening after last night."
"I totally get that. Which reminds me, how's your hand Blaine after that punch your threw?"
"I'm good. Thanks for asking though. Now, if there isn't anything else I don't want to sound rude, but I really want to go back to bed."
"Nothing that I can think of. One of us will give you guys a call and let you know what's going on." Thad said as they got up. "We'll show ourselves out. Later guys!" After they heard the front door close, Blaine moved so that he was now lying down with his head resting on Sebastian's lap.
"Now that they're gone, are you going to tell me how you really feel?"
"I'm pissed. Really pissed. But I feel too good right now to do anything about it."
"Crazy how one can be as sore as we both are and still feel so good." Sebastian said with a smile as he ran his fingers through Blaine's hair. "Now, do you want to go back to bed or just chill here for a bit?"
"Bed. More comfortable and spacious." The look Sebastian gave him caused Blaine to laugh. "I just meant we'd both be more comfortable as we'd have more space to cuddle."
"You might've meant that, but your eyes said so much more."
"Alright, I wouldn't object to picking up where we left off last night after we get some sleep."
"Sounds good to me."
After they got out of the shower later that afternoon they both saw they'd missed a few calls. "I didn't think we were in there that long." Sebastian said as he grabbed his phone while Blaine stretched out on the bed.
"Bas."
"Okay, maybe we were." He then tossed Blaine his phone before listening to his voicemail. "The guys want to go play pool."
"Figures they would. The one time I'd much prefer going to see a flick."
"We could always tell them we changed our mind."
"If we do that, their imaginations are going to run wild."
"True. So are you up for it?"
"Yea. I'll call Jeff back and let him know that we'll be there." Blaine told him as Sebastian laid down beside him. "You do know Bas; we should probably try and get some sleep before we go."
"Wasn't that the plan when we came up here earlier?" He asked with a laugh.
"Yes, but now we really should or they're really going to realize what we've been up to."
"What, you think between the lack of sleep and both of us probably walking funny is going to give anything away?" Sebastian said while setting the alarm on his phone.
"Exactly. And not that I care that they know, I'd prefer they not know the extent." Blaine said as he curled up next to Sebastian.
"They'd never believe it if we told them B." Sebastian then placed a kiss on the top of his head.
When Sebastian woke up to his alarm he was surprised to find the bed empty. "Blaine." He called out as he sat up. After not getting a response he grabbed his sweats again and threw them on to go walking through the house.
"I don't want to hear your fucking excuses Kurt! Blaine practically yelled into his phone. "This latest stunt was ridiculous! Trying to get Bas arrested is even low for you."
"I just wanted you to see that he's not who you think he is."
"He's exactly who I think he is. You on the other hand, I don't even fucking know who you are anymore!"
"He's changing you Blaine. You never would've hit someone before you were with him."
"Bull! Do you really think I only took up boxing to keep in shape? No, I took it up so that I could defend myself and the people I love."
"He's never going to be able to love you Blaine. He's too self-absorbed to love anyone but himself." Blaine had to bite his lip at that moment to stop himself from blurting out just how he and Sebastian really felt about each other. As he was afraid that would send Kurt even further over the edge if that was possible.
"You don't know him."
"I don't care too. The only thing I care about is you."
"If you cared about me at all, you wouldn't be trying to hurt someone I really care about."
"He's never going to return those feelings Blaine. He's incapable. Just give me a chance to make everything up to you. I still love you."
"You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. The feelings we have for each other are definitely mutual." As Blaine spoke he spotted Sebastian out of the corner of his eye, leaning up against the door frame and his sweats hanging low on his hips. "And if you could take your blinders off for one minute you'd know it's true. It's always been that way which is why you couldn't stand me being around him. You've always known that I've been attracted to him."
"No you're not."
"Oh, I definitely am. He's the epitome of sexy."
"I don't want to hear it!"
"Maybe you need to so you can get it through that thick skull of yours that we're done! Over! Finished! And to quote Taylor Swift, we are never ever getting back together!" Sebastian had to cover his mouth to stifle his laughter at Blaine's last comment. "And if you pull another freaking stunt like this last one, you're going to regret it Kurt because the gloves are now off!
"But Blaine…"
"I mean it Kurt. Back off and leave us the hell alone!"
After Blaine ended the call and put the phone in his pocket Sebastian walked up to him. "How long have you been out here?"
"Long enough."
"What made you make the call?"
"I couldn't sleep, so I laid there next to you watching you sleep for awhile. And with as peaceful as you looked I couldn't bear to think about him trying to hurt you again." Blaine told him as he wrapped his arms around his waist.
"That's really sweet. How'd it go?"
"As well as you'd think. I had to bite my tongue to not tell him how I really feel about you."
"Why?"
"Because I think that if he knew, things could get worse if that's actually possible."
"Good point."
"That's the only reason I didn't tell him."
"It makes complete sense B."
"If I wasn't afraid of him doing something else, I so would've told him that I'm in love you with. Because I don't care who knows."
"Me either. But I think you made the right call in not telling him."
"Thank you."
"So does this now mean we're going to become that sappy couple in front of everyone?" Sebastian asked with a smile.
"No, that won't ever be us, you know that. But if the guys happen to hear us, so be it. And I doubt they'll be surprised when they do."
"True. Is it wrong that I really don't want to go out anymore?"
"Any particular reason?"
"I honestly would just rather spend a quiet night in with you."
"Quiet?" Blaine cocked his eyebrow as he spoke.
"I do have other things on my mind besides sex with you. No matter how mind blowing it is."
"Mind blowing huh?"
"Yes, mind blowing." Sebastian told him again before kissing him.
"We're quite the match, aren't we?" Blaine asked with a smile.
"That we are."
"I've got an idea. What if while we're out we drop a few hints and see if the guys just want to come back here a watch a flick after a while."
"That works. I'm sure most will agree if the pool hall is anything like it usually is on a Saturday night. Since that's the case we should probably get ready."
They ended up talking outside much longer than they realized, so they ended up being the last ones to show up. "So glad you guys finally made it." Nick said with a smile.
"I told you they'd be here." Jeff said before taking his next shot. "And Blaine, if you need help kicking Kurt's ass, let me know."
"I had to tell them guys." Thad chimed in as he waited for his shot.
"Hopefully he won't be an issue anymore." Blaine told them before grabbing a cue.
"You talked to him, didn't you?" Dave asked.
"What makes you think that?"
"The look on your face."
"Yes, I spoke with him if that's what you want to call it."
"You went off on him, didn't you?" Beat asked to which Blaine just smiled. "Good for you! Oh, and before I forget, can a few more of us join you guys on your little trip to Louisville."
"The more the merrier, but you're going to have to drive yourselves."
"That's cool."
"Britt's gonna look like a pimp. All of us and her."
"Brittany's going?" Trent asked.
"Yes, Britt's going." Sebastian said with a smile. "And I don't want to hear a single wise-crack from any of you, got it."
"And we're picking Britt up at McKinley as she has to cheer that night." Blaine told them. "And leaving from there."
"She can ride with us." Beat said with a smile.
"Nice try guys, she riding with me and B."
"Can't blame us for trying."
"No, but do you really want to tempt fate with Santana." Sebastian said with a smile.
"Good point Seb."
And just as Sebastian predicted, the pool hall got crazy busy so the guys had no problem finishing their night at Sebastian's. As everyone got settle in the family room, Sebastian just grabbed a movie off the shelf to put in. "Could you move over a bit?" He asked as he looked at Nick who was sitting next to Blaine. He moved over just enough so that he could slide in behind Blaine.
"So, what did you guys do last night after you left the party?" Dave asked as the movie began.
"Just came back here and chilled. Watched a few movies." Sebastian replied as he wrapped his arm around Blaine. "Neither of us were in the mood to do much after what happened."
"Can't say I blame either of you." Nick told them. "That was just crazy. But damn Blaine, you've got one hell of a hook."
"Thank you. You should come and spar with Dave and I some time."
"I just might do that. But you guys will have to take it easy on me at first."
"And guys, have we figured out whose rooming with whom yet?" Thad asked.
"Well, we're going to have to get another room." Blaine replied. "Because now there isn't enough room for all of us."
"Aren't we only short space for one?" Dave asked.
"Let's say two to be safe. Even though I'm pretty sure Britt will be staying with Santana. But if she doesn't, know she's rooming with B and I."
"Good idea because I don't think Santana would like the thought of her rooming with any of us no matter how much she likes us." Nick added.
"Exactly."
