Chapter 10: Confusion
Monday rolled around and Sebastian forced himself to get out of bed and go to school. He wasn't in the mood to be at the Hummel house anymore but he didn't really want to be at school either.
He decided that today, he would hang around Blaine as much as possible and try to avoid Finn. Because really, the amount of spying Finn was doing now was creepy. If he tried to peak in while Sebastian was showering again he would have to kick his ass.
Sebastian got to school and met Blaine at his locker. They had only texted a few times since Saturday night but Blaine looked happy to see him.
"Hey, sorry about the weekend. I want to forget it even happened. I missed you," Blaine said quietly.
"Missed you too," Sebastian said but as he said it his phone vibrated with a text message.
He pulled his phone out and Blaine looked at him curiously.
Dave of course. Wondering if he was at school yet.
He texted back, Sure am. Why, bored already?
He looked back at Blaine and said, "Ready to go to class?"
Blaine nodded and didn't say anything more as they walked off to their separate classes.
Sebastian was bored throughout his classes and spent them texting Dave. He never knew a guy who could amuse him so much.
Lunch time brought more time with Blaine. Sebastian spent the time talking to him about his weekend and Blaine went on about how much he missed the rest of the Warblers, leaving out the ending of the party, which they both tried to forget.
Blaine was also giving him looks as he talked. Looks that screamed I want to rip your clothes off. And Sebastian wanted that as well.
Lunch was over before Sebastian knew it and they once again had to go to class. But Sebastian couldn't get those looks out of his mind. He knew they had Glee club at the end of the day but he met up with Blaine before they could go there.
"Hey," Blaine greeted softly.
"Hi," Sebastian said, leaning in.
"Kurt, we can't here, remember," he said softly.
Sebastian was going to roll his eyes when he spotted the open janitor's closet.
"Come on," he said, and pulled Blaine with him inside.
As soon as they got inside the closet and Sebastian closed the door, they were pressed together.
Sebastian's mouth crashed against Blaine's and Blaine moaned into the kiss, his hands straying to Sebastian's waist to pull them even closer together.
It was frantic and rushed, and everything Sebastian wanted.
"I guess this means you aren't mad about the party anymore," Blaine let out.
"Mad?" Sebastian asked, kissing Blaine more.
"About… Sebastian," Blaine said quietly.
"Sebastian who?" Sebastian asked.
He went back to what he was doing, pressing himself closer to Blaine.
"We're going to be late to Glee club," Blaine panted as he moved his mouth away.
"Don't care," Sebastian responded, reattaching their mouths.
"What's gotten into you?" Blaine asked.
Sebastian moved to Blaine's neck, kissing and sucking on it as Blaine moved his head to give Sebastian more access.
"I've missed you," Sebastian responded.
"I've missed you too, Kurt," Blaine moaned.
Kurt. Right. Shit. Who cares?
Sebastian moved back to Blaine's mouth, thrusting his tongue inside and exploring.
Blaine's hands moved to Sebastian's ass, squeezing slightly. No, Sebastian was in control of this, not Blaine.
Sebastian moved his hands to Blaine's shirt, pushing it up a little and trying to get underneath it.
"Kurt, Glee, we have Glee," Blaine let out.
"Screw Glee," Sebastian responded.
"You always said hooking up in the janitor's closet is tacky," Blaine breathed.
"Don't care," Sebastian responded.
He was about to pull Blaine's shirt off completely when the door burst open. They both squinted at the light from the hallway and saw a very amused looking Santana there.
"How did I know where you two would be? Come with me boys," she said and then dragged them both out of the janitor's closet.
Blaine looked mortified, his face red and he tried to straighten his shirt. Sebastian wasn't amused. Interrupted again.
Santana dragged them to the choir room where everyone looked up when they entered.
"Found these two getting it on in the janitor's closet. Told you," she said.
"We weren't getting it on," Blaine said embarrassed.
"No, we weren't. Yet," Sebastian said displeased.
Blaine's eyes widened and he went to take his seat as the rest of the Glee club chuckled awkwardly at them.
"Well, now that you two are here, let's start our lesson," Mr. Schue said.
He wrote a random word on the board and said that's their assignment for the week. Again. Sebastian didn't understand how that could be an assignment. The Warblers were student led so it was different, but he was pretty sure the reason New Directions had a teacher at all was to teach them something.
Blaine looked a little uncomfortable with what happened before and Sebastian wanted to know why. They didn't even do much and Blaine wasn't complaining at the time. Was it possible they were still virgins? Sebastian hoped not. Then it would make his plan much harder. But if Blaine was…
Glee club consisted of the Rachel girl talking again and a lot of fighting without much getting done. Someone sang, Sebastian ignored them and clapped weakly at the end. Finally it was over and time to go.
"So, Lima Bean?" Blaine asked, like it was really a choice.
They went to the Lima Bean every Monday and Thursday. Sebastian had seen them do that. But he didn't want to go to the Lima Bean now. Sure, he wanted to spend more time with Blaine, but he didn't want to be caught by Kurt or any of the other Warblers right now.
"Why don't we try something new? There's a Starbucks not far from here," he said.
"But we always go to the Lima Bean," Blaine trailed off.
Sebastian made a big show of sighing and looking upset.
"I don't want to run into Sebastian," he said softly, playing on the fact that Blaine thought he was still upset about the kiss.
"Oh, right. Yeah, of course. Let's go to Starbucks," Blaine responded.
It was too easy.
They went to Starbucks and it was pretty uneventful. Blaine didn't bring up what happened earlier in the janitor's closet and Sebastian didn't talk about it either. They kept the topic on neutral ground and Sebastian tried his hardest to figure out how to actually get Blaine to have sex with him. He needed to do it soon.
As they were talking, Sebastian felt like he was being watched and turned to the side. Finn was staring in the window.
"Oh my god," he said.
"What? What is it?" Blaine asked, trying to see if somehow Kurt was hurt.
"Finn's spying on us," he said.
"What?" Blaine asked.
"There, in the window," Sebastian pointed.
"Oh wow… better get you home then. Did you do something or is he trying to get blackmail info on you? Because I think what happened in Glee club today would be enough," Blaine said and blushed.
Sebastian raised a brow.
"Never mind," Blaine mumbled.
Blaine dropped Sebastian off back at the Hummel household and Sebastian sighed. Finn was getting on his nerves. The whole spying thing was too much. Now he was going to have to find a way to not only get around Kurt, but also Finn.
This was getting more complex and it was increasing the urgency for Sebastian to have sex with Blaine.
"Is that you, Kurt?" Burt called from inside.
"Yeah," Sebastian responded.
"Do you think you could grab the mail? I forgot to get it," he said.
"Sure, whatever," Sebastian mumbled.
He went back outside and grabbed it, sorting through it and peeking. He wondered what kind of mail they got. He saw an envelope addressed to Kurt Hummel from NYADA and took it with him, giving the rest to Burt.
"I'm going upstairs," he said.
"Have a good date with Blaine?" Burt asked.
"Oh, yeah, I did," Sebastian responded then walked back upstairs.
He got to Kurt's room and opened the envelope.
New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts. Huh, so this was the school Kurt applied to?
Sebastian skimmed the first few lines.
"Dear Mr. Hummel, we are pleased to inform you that… blah blah finalist blah, whatever," Sebastian said and tossed it in the trash.
He lay down on the bed. So Kurt got into the school or was a finalist or whatever. Who cares? It wouldn't matter if they were still in each other's bodies.
Kurt went through his day in a daze. He still didn't know what to do and Nick and Jeff were trying their hardest to help but so far they couldn't find anything.
Kurt had told them about the guy at the coffee shop and they were confused first because they didn't see him. Only Kurt did. And only Kurt heard him. Tick Tock? What did that mean?
Kurt had a feeling it meant they were running out of time and if that was the case, he was scared. They needed to figure this out fast.
He spent the day so unfocused that some of his teachers looked concerned. A few of them approached him and asked if anything was wrong but he shrugged them off with an excuse of "didn't sleep well last night."
When classes ended, he met up with Jeff and Nick in the hallways and they were going to go back to the dorms to talk. As they were walking, Kurt noticed something.
Most of the guys who walked by were glaring at them. The Warblers who walked by shook their heads and turned away. Trent tried to pull Nick and Jeff away from Kurt and when they finally got away from Trent they said he didn't want them hanging out with "Sebastian."
Nick and Jeff had a rough day since they were seen as helping the enemy. Ever since Kurt kissed Blaine at the Warbler Party, the rest of the Warblers had given up on being nice to him. It was the last straw. And Nick and Jeff had been getting the cold shoulder for siding with him.
They walked back to the dorms and just as they made it there, someone called out Sebastian's name.
Kurt tried to ignore him but the guy was persistent. Oh. It was the same guy from last week who tried to get him to go to Lacrosse practice. Oh no. Kurt was not going back to Lacrosse practice. No way.
"Hey, Sebastian! Come on. I know you had a bad practice last week, but let's go!" He said.
"Forget it. Not this week either," Kurt rolled his eyes.
Beside him, Jeff and Nick could barely contain their laughter.
"Dude, come on!" the guy called.
"Tell them I'm sick," Kurt said.
"Coach isn't going to believe it."
"Too bad," Kurt said and escorted Jeff and Nick into Sebastian's dorm.
As soon as the door closed, Jeff and Nick burst out laughing.
"What now?" Kurt asked, putting his head in his hands.
"Lacrosse practice? You went to Lacrosse practice? Kurt Hummel?" Nick said.
"Yes. It was horrible. I got a black eye, or don't you remember," Kurt said.
"That's where it was from? Amazing," Jeff said, clearly picturing what happened.
"It's not that funny," Kurt mumbled through his hands.
"Au Contraire. It's hilarious. That's French, right?" Nick asked.
"Yes. Maybe I should tutor you more," Kurt said.
"Yup! You should!" Nick replied with a smile.
"Okay, enough about that. What are we going to do about this whole situation," Kurt said, motioning to his body.
"Okay, well you tried talking to Sebastian right?" Nick said.
"Yeah, didn't work. He didn't want to talk," Kurt said,
"You try running at each other?" Jeff asked.
"Surprisingly, yes. And that didn't work either," Kurt said.
"Maybe if we try some kind of ritual spell or something," Nick said.
"Actually tried that too. I don't think anything's going to work," Kurt moaned.
"Maybe if we try talking to Blaine again. He trusts me and Jeff, so maybe if we tell him?" Nick asked.
"Maybe. Do you think that would work? I need Blaine on my side," Kurt said softly.
"Yeah, let's try it. What do you want to do? Call him?" Jeff asked.
"Worth a shot," Kurt said.
Nick pulled out his phone and dialled Blaine's number, putting it on speakerphone.
They waited as it rang a couple of times before they got the answering machine. Nick frowned and left a message telling Blaine he had something important to tell him and to call him back.
"I'm not telling him over a message. He'll think I'm nuts," Nick said.
"I think you're nuts," Jeff said.
"Oh shut up," Nick replied.
"Visit him in person?" Jeff asked.
"It's Monday, so it's a Lima Bean day," Kurt said.
"You guys go to the Lima Bean too much," Jeff said.
"Yeah, probably do," Kurt replied.
"Maybe that guy will be there again?" Nick asked.
Kurt shrugged.
They bundled up their stuff and headed to Nick's car, driving to the Lima Bean. When they got there, they looked around but Blaine and Sebastian were nowhere to be seen.
"I don't get it. It's Monday. We always go to the Lima Bean on Monday. They were here last week. Maybe… Sebastian's behind this. He… he better not be trying something right now, I don't know what I'd do if…." Kurt trailed off.
"Hey, it'll be okay. I'm sure something came up and it has nothing to do with Sebastian," Jeff replied.
"Either that or they're avoiding me. Sebastian's avoiding me. I think we're going to have to do some spying and try to get Blaine alone," Kurt said.
"Good plan," Nick said. "But while we're here, we might as well get coffee."
The next day, Sebastian made his way to school again. Same deal, meet up with Blaine at his locker, exchange pleasantries, and not get a kiss. He rolled his eyes and smiled slightly at Blaine as they parted to go to their classes. Maybe they could make out in the janitor's closet again without getting interrupted this time.
Rachel had found him and was talking loudly about NYADA and how her letter hadn't arrived yet and she feared she hadn't made it in and it would be the end of her life.
Sebastian daydreamed about what it would be like to shove it in her face and tell her he got in but really, it wasn't him, it was Kurt. It would probably take her down a couple of pegs too but they made it to the class before he could say anything so maybe another time.
Classes were boring as usual and Sebastian started texting Dave during them again.
Dave mentioned that he hadn't played Halo with anyone else yet and was bored. Sebastian figured he might as well and said he could come over and play after school. Dave readily agreed and then Sebastian had plans with Dave again. It sent a shiver of excitement through his body and Sebastian was confused why.
He went to lunch and sat with everyone as Blaine tried to draw him into the conversation. Sebastian responded back and then continued texting Dave. Some of the others sent him weird looks since he was essentially ignoring Blaine. Eventually, Blaine fell silent.
Sebastian glanced at Blaine and saw his head was drawn downward toward the table and he was biting his lip. That wasn't the way to get Blaine to sleep with him. He started to think of what he could do to cheer Blaine up but the bell rang and they headed off to their afternoon classes. It sucked that Blaine wasn't in the same classes as Kurt. Must be because Blaine was a junior.
The day ended and Sebastian was ready to head over to Dave's house. Blaine stopped by his locker first.
"Hey, you okay?" Blaine asked.
"Yeah, fine, why?" Sebastian asked eager to get out of there.
"You've been kind of distant all day. Is this because of yesterday? Did I do something?" Blaine asked.
"No, no. It's nothing. Just have a lot on my mind, stressed, you know," Sebastian replied.
Blaine nodded.
"Uh, want to... do something? Now?" Blaine asked, biting his lip.
Damn. Was that an invitation? He could blow Dave off or he could blow Blaine off. Or hopefully, he could blow someone.
"Rain check? I have to get home, my dad wants to talk to me about something," Sebastian made up.
"Oh, right. Yeah, Burt. Wouldn't want to get on his bad side," Blaine said.
"Exactly," Sebastian responded, putting the rest of his stuff in his bag and closing the locker.
"So… I'll see you tomorrow? I'll text you tonight, of course," Blaine said.
"Of course, see you," Sebastian said and left the building.
He turned around and saw Blaine standing there dumbfounded and then Sebastian's phone buzzed so he took it out to see a new text from Dave.
Class ended early. Home now. You coming? It said.
On my way, Sebastian replied.
He passed Finn on his way out and didn't notice the way Finn was staring at him. It was a good thing they had separate cars today or he'd have to explain this all to Finn.
Sebastian jumped into Kurt's car and drove off to Dave's, too focused on driving there to notice he had a follower.
He walked up to the door and rang the doorbell.
The door opened after a few moments and Dave was there, grinning at him.
"Hey, Kurt," Dave said.
"Hey," Sebastian replied back.
Why did people have to keep reminding him he was Kurt? Maybe because he was?
Dave led him inside and shut the door. They walked upstairs to Dave's room and Dave set the gaming system up again.
Before long, they were playing Halo.
After a few minutes Dave spoke.
"So, uh, how's school?" he asked.
"You know how school was. I texted you all day," Sebastian replied.
"Yeah, I guess. Sorry. That probably annoyed Blaine," Dave said.
"Nah, it's fine," Sebastian said.
They played in silence for a moment.
"So he still doesn't know?" Dave asked.
"No. It doesn't matter what he thinks," Sebastian said.
"But, it sort of does. I don't want you to get in trouble for hanging out with me. I'm not worth that."
"You are, though, Dave," Sebastian said.
Dave shook his head.
"I know you think I'm just a chubby guy who's gonna lose his hair and sweat too much or something," he said.
"I don't think that," Sebastian responded.
"Well you're the one who said it," Dave responded.
Oh, wow. Kurt must really hate him. Okay, fine.
"That was in the past and I wasn't thinking correctly. I actually think you're kind of hot," he said.
Both of them froze. Did Sebastian just say that?
"You think I'm hot?" Dave said raising a brow.
"Ignore that," Sebastian replied blushing.
Shit. That was a bad slip of tongue there. And why was he blushing? This didn't happen to him. He could tell a guy they were hot like it was nothing. But then again, it usually wasn't true.
Dave had a smug look on his face. Like he had a chance. Maybe he did. Well, not with Kurt. Or maybe. Maybe with Kurt. Sebastian could give him what he wanted right now. He could give him Kurt and still get Dave.
Sebastian paused the game and looked at Dave.
"What are you doing?" Dave asked.
"I don't know," Sebastian responded.
He moved in closer until he could feel Dave's breath on his lips and slowly pressed their lips together.
It was perfect. It was wonderful. It was way better than with Blaine somehow.
But it was over way too soon. Dave was pulling back and he looked scared
"Shit, that shouldn't have happened. You have a boyfriend," he said.
"It's fine," Sebastian said and tried to lean back in.
"No. I don't know what you're up to Kurt, but this isn't a game for me. Stop playing around. I don't want a repeat of the locker room. Why are you doing this?" he asked.
"I don't know," Sebastian said in a small voice.
Everything was slipping out of his control. Why did he want Dave so badly? This could still work in the plan. Be with Dave as Kurt. Get Kurt and Blaine to break up. Get Blaine. But did he really want Blaine still? He had to. He had to stop thinking about Dave and he had to think more about Blaine.
Dave stared at him for a moment.
"Maybe I should go," Sebastian said slowly.
"Yeah, maybe," Dave said, his voice softer.
He obviously didn't want "Kurt" to leave no matter what just happened.
Sebastian got up and said, "I ...I'm sorry."
Dave stared at him and Sebastian ran for the door, letting himself out. He missed the shadow of another person, hiding around the corner as he left.
Sebastian got into his car. He took a shaky breath and tried to calm down. Just because Dave was amazing and kind and sort of perfect didn't mean anything. Just because he kissed him and it was better than anything else he experienced didn't mean anything either. He wanted Blaine, right? Or Dave? Or both? Could he do that? It didn't seem right and for the first time in his life, Sebastian was questioning that.
He didn't know what he was feeling, never having felt something like this before.
Sebastian finally got back to the Hummel house and tried to sneak in as quietly as possible. His mind was a jumbled mess of feelings and he didn't know how to sort them out. He felt something for Dave; more than he'd ever felt for anyone else and it was scaring him. He was in this for Blaine, so why couldn't he get Dave out of his mind. He wanted this to stop so he could go back to his plan.
"Kurt, can I see you in here for a moment?" Burt called out.
Fuck. Couldn't he have some peace and quiet?
Sebastian traipsed into the den where Burt was waiting.
"Where were you?" Burt asked, but it didn't look like the question he wanted to ask.
"Out with friends, sorry, lost track of time," he spit out trying to get out of that room as soon as possible.
"Never mind that. What was this doing in the trash, Kurt?" Burt asked, holding something up.
As Sebastian looked closer, he realized it was Kurt's NYADA letter. Sebastian didn't want to have to deal with this.
"I don't know," he started. It seemed to be all he could say lately. He was a mess.
"You got in! You're a finalist! I'm so proud of you, Kurt," Burt exclaimed and then he was hugging Sebastian and Sebastian was trying to breathe.
Finally he pulled back.
"I'm curious. Why was the letter in the trash? This is a great thing. Why aren't you more excited? It's all you've ever wanted," Burt said.
All Kurt ever wanted. Kurt had dreams. Kurt had Blaine. Kurt knew what he wanted. Sebastian had nothing… just a mess of jumbled feelings that he didn't know what to do with.
"I don't know, it must have fallen in there or something," he mumbled.
"Yeah, must've. Know there's no way you would've tossed this," Burt said.
Sebastian nodded.
"Yay, go me. Can I go upstairs now?" he asked.
"Something bothering you, kid?" Burt asked.
"No, not really, I just…" Sebastian stared.
Could he trust Kurt's dad? Could he tell him? Could he talk to him about everything going on and his feelings? It felt like he'd understand. Or at least listen. But he'd probably hate him for trying to be Kurt. Burt seemed liked a nice guy, and Sebastian wished he could have a dad like him. Maybe he could talk to him. Maybe Burt would understand.
The front door slammed open and a livid Finn stormed into the room.
"What the hell, Kurt?" He asked.
Sebastian took a deep breath. What now?
"What's going on, Finn?" Burt asked.
"I saw you, okay? I know you've been acting weird, so I followed you. What do you think you're doing?" Finn asked.
"Followed me?" Sebastian raised a brow. He didn't need this right now. He needed to go upstairs, lay in the quiet and think. But everyone was on his case right now and it was driving him crazy.
"You went to Karofsky's house. I saw you," Finn deadpanned.
"What? Kurt? Did he do anything to you? What did he do? I'm gonna go teach him a lesson," Burt exclaimed.
"He didn't do anything to me," Sebastian sighed.
"No. He didn't, did he? I saw him. I saw both of you. You looked pretty chummy," Finn said.
"We've gotten over our difference, we're friends now," Sebastian defended.
"Oh really. Does Blaine know about this?" Finn asked.
Sebastian was silent.
"So what? Are you cheating on Blaine or something? Because this looks rather suspicious," Finn said.
Burt chimed in, "Hey! Finn. Stop with the accusations. This Karofsky kid's not gay, right?"
Sebastian didn't want to out Dave, and if he said no, maybe Finn would let it go.
"Of course not. I'm not cheating on Blaine," he said.
Well maybe a little. But he didn't mean to. And Blaine's the one who's cheating on Kurt. Though not to his knowledge.
"I don't believe you. Maybe you're pursuing him like you did to me. Well back off. He's not interested," Finn said.
That was an interesting tidbit.
"Hey, Finn! Enough. I'm sure there's an actual reason why Kurt was visiting him," Burt said and turned expectantly to Sebastian.
Sebastian tried to come up with an answer but his brain was full of Dave vs. Blaine, the pro and con list. Pro: Dave was single. Con. He was in love with Kurt and Sebastian wasn't Kurt. Pro: Blaine would probably have sex with him. Con: He would think it was Kurt.
Everything came down to Kurt, and Sebastian wanted to sleep with Blaine then get out of this body fast. He did not like this situation.
"He needed a friend," Sebastian said.
"But you two aren't friends!" Finn exclaimed.
"I don't care! Stop questioning me and leave me alone!" Sebastian exclaimed and stormed out of the room and up to Kurt's room, slamming the door. First the tumour thing then this. Finn was infuriating.
He flopped down on the bed angrily and stared up at the ceiling. What the fuck was he going to do?
It was now Tuesday and Kurt was still as far from finding anything to fix this problem as he was a week ago. He had also discovered he missed the last Warblers practice. Apparently it was an impromptu one and he wasn't invited. The other Warblers weren't too pleased with him. Nick and Jeff had found out about it last minute and had sought Kurt out when he didn't show.
"Hey, you missed practice!" Nick exclaimed.
Kurt looked at him curiously. "I didn't know there was a practice."
"Yeah, just missed it. You didn't get a text?" Jeff asked.
"No. I think they're purposely not inviting me now," he sighed.
"Tough break," Jeff said.
"You know they aren't inviting Sebastian, not you, Kurt. If they knew it was you you'd be invited no matter what," Nick replied.
"Yeah, probably," Kurt said.
Flint walked by in the halls, leaving the Warbler practice room and glaring at Kurt. Then he pulled Nick and Jeff off to the side. They conversed quietly for a minute before Flint left, leaving Jeff and Nick standing there.
"What? What was that?" Kurt asked.
"Blaine's here," Nick said.
"What? Where?" Kurt asked.
"Flint told us he was here and to keep you away because he didn't look so good," Nick said.
"What? What do you mean didn't look so good?" Kurt panicked.
"Hey, it's okay, we'll find him," Jeff replied.
The three of them walked through the halls until they heard Blaine's voice from inside an empty classroom. As they got closer, they could hear other voices. David was there. And Thad.
Kurt, Nick, and Jeff tried to remain inconspicuous outside the room as they listened to what Blaine was saying to David and Thad. It didn't sound good.
"But what if… he's been acting different lately. And I don't know why. And every time I bring it up he says nothing's wrong. He's just stressed. But I know something's going on," Blaine said brokenly.
There was some soft shuffling sounds, and Kurt assumed they moved to hug Blaine or something.
"What if he's cheating on me?" Blaine asked.
"No, Blaine, Kurt would never cheat on you," David said.
"But what if he is! What if I did something and I'm not good enough anymore? He's been distant lately, and I love him so much. I can't let this... he can't be," Blaine cried.
"Blaine, Kurt loves you," Thad said.
As much as Thad hero worshipped Blaine, he did care about his feelings first and foremost.
"Ever since this whole thing with Sebastian, I'm not so sure. He's been distant. He… he wanted to make out and then when I said no…. we were in the middle of the hallway at McKinley; he pulled me into the janitor's closet. Then he was weird after. It's not like him. And… he's been texting someone and won't tell me who. He was so distant today," Blaine started.
"Maybe he's trying to be more adventurous?" Thad tried.
"I'm sure it doesn't mean anything, Blaine," David said.
"I… I feel like I'm losing him. And he's the best thing in my life right now, and I don't think I'd be able to live without him," Blaine said.
Kurt felt his heart breaking for Blaine and tears formed in his eyes. He had no idea who Sebastian was texting but wasn't that concerned. It didn't matter. It wasn't him.
"Guys, please," he said.
Nick and Jeff turned to him.
"Kurt, what is it?" Nick asked.
"Go in there. Tell him I'm not cheating on him. Make him believe it. It hurts to see him so broken up about this," Kurt said through his tears.
"Don't worry, we'll take care of it," Jeff said, patting Kurt on the back lightly.
As much as Kurt wanted Blaine to be upset at Sebastian who was in his body, seeing Blaine like this wasn't right. He looked miserable and Kurt couldn't stand to see him like this.
He peeked around the corner as Jeff and Nick walked inside and saw them give Blaine a hug. He pulled his head back quickly so he wouldn't be seen, slinking down to the floor with his back against the wall.
"Hey, Blaine. Sorry, we couldn't help but overhear your conversation," Nick said softly.
Kurt had to strain to hear them.
There was some mumbling that Kurt couldn't decipher then a scoff from David.
"You two have been awfully chummy with Sebastian lately. Blaine doesn't need you guys here," he said.
Kurt bit his lip. They could do it, reassure Blaine. They had to be able to.
"Sebastian…. he's not himself lately. Okay? But we're not talking about him. We're talking about Kurt. And Kurt is crazy about you, Blaine," Jeff said.
It was quiet again for a few minutes and Kurt peered around the doorframe again. Blaine was crying. Kurt brought a hand to his mouth to stifle the noise of his own crying. He wanted nothing more than to run into the room, take Blaine into his arms, and reassure him that everything was okay. But going in there as Sebastian would do way more harm than good. It was up to Jeff and Nick.
"Kurt's not cheating on you. Okay? Maybe he's been acting a little weird, but there's probably a good reason for that. Probably something you would never think of. You have to find out what it is. But I can promise you, he would never cheat on you. You are his everything, Blaine," Nick said.
Kurt nodded to himself. Blaine was his everything. And yet, Blaine didn't see Kurt wasn't himself. At least he was noticing something was wrong. Maybe they should tell him now. It was the perfect opportunity. He was here without Sebastian.
Blaine sniffled inside.
"Look, Blaine. Nick's right. We see you two together and you two belong together. You only have eyes for each other and that's it. Maybe you just need to talk to Kurt. Let him know what's going on. What you're feeling. I'm sure it will all be a big misunderstanding," David tried.
Blaine sighed, "You guys are probably right. I don't know why I'm doubting him. I love him. He loves me. There's just something I'm not getting."
"Maybe you have to look deeper. See who he truly is," Jeff said.
"What does that mean?" Thad piped in.
"Look whatever. Just know, we're always here for you if you need us. No matter what happens. But you should talk to Kurt, figure it out, okay?" David said.
"Yeah, thanks guys. You're right. I'm probably making this all up in my head or something. It's probably nothing to worry about," Blaine said softly.
"That's the spirit!" Thad exclaimed.
"I think.. I'm going to rest tonight. Then tomorrow at school, I'll talk to him. Figure it all out. I'm sure it's nothing," he said.
"Yeah you do that," David said.
"Just make sure you look into his eyes. You'll see," Nick said.
"Right. Well, I think I'm going to head home, get some food, and maybe go to bed early. Thanks for everything, guys," Blaine said.
"No problem. You know we're always here if you need us," David said.
There was some silence again and Kurt peaked around to see them all hugging. This was his chance. If he wanted to tell Blaine, he had to do it now. But… he couldn't force himself to move. He couldn't force himself to face Blaine as Sebastian again.
Kurt frowned. He didn't know what to think about all of this. Blaine didn't sound as sad anymore, which was a good thing. But he also didn't sound like he believed much was wrong anymore. So it was a double edged sword. On one hand, Blaine was happier, so that made Kurt happier. But on the other, he was losing his will to figure out what was happening. Kurt needed to find a way to make him see what was going on. But not now. Now he was upset.
Kurt got up and moved out of the way as the guys walked out of the room. They walked Blaine out to the front of the school then Nick and Jeff came back upstairs to find Kurt.
"Hey, sorry. We tried our best. Didn't know what to say without telling him and he was too worked up to believe it now," Nick said softly.
"Yeah, I know. I heard most of it. I don't see why he thinks I'd cheat on him… unless… Sebastian actually is. In my body. Ew.. oh gross, I hope he isn't," Kurt moaned.
"Hey, you're in his body. Take advantage of it," Jeff said.
"I'm not doing that! That would actually be cheating!" Kurt yelled.
"Sorry, yeah, don't know what I was thinking," Jeff replied.
"Hey, it'll all work out. Why don't we plan something. We'll go meet up with Blaine tomorrow or something. Tell him everything. Maybe he'll still be curious. We can get him alone and it will work," Nick said.
"Ok, maybe. Though for some reason, I have a feeling Blaine's not going to believe it unless Sebastian himself tells him," Kurt said dejectedly ."And that is not likely to happen."
Here's chapter 10! Hope you all enjoyed! This chapter seemed to go on and on and kept getting longer. I know the NYADA letters were already done on the show but I had this idea for them before the show… and I'm keeping it here. This is AU after all. And I feel like I was cramming so much into this chapter so I hope it doesn't feel rushed but there were some little details I needed to get in. You'll see.
And Sebastian's part with Karofsky. Is it weird to say I didn't expect that to happen? I mean, I know, I wrote it. But it was supposed to go completely differently and then I ended up writing it at 1 am and the characters have a mind of their own. Sebastian took control of that scene and he seems to be having more emotional problems than I thought he was….Does this happen to anyone else? Losing control of your characters? Sigh…please follow the plot in the next chapter, Sebastian.
Thank you everyone who reviewed! And a clarification… this will be Klaine… and Sebofsky. In case you were wondering. I know there was some confusion. I wish you could have secondary pairings on this site…
And at least Blaine sort of realizes something's wrong now…. So that's good, right? And poor Finn.. just trying to look out for his brother and coming to all the wrong conclusions. And yes… he is stressing himself out, and will continue to, until he gets to the bottom of this.
Let me know what you think!
