To Have a Home

In the library, Rory was hunched over his History textbook. Even though he had been in America for several long years now, nothing had prepared him for trying to catch up on the country's history. There had been so many wars, and there were many historically figures and names he had to learn in such a short amount of time…
His textbook slammed shut right before him. Jumping in his chair, Rory looked up to find Sebastian leaning across the table.
"Seriously?" The older boy questioned, "Three weeks into school and you're already studying like this? I don't know what you did back in Ireland, but here in America, we do take our noses out of the books to breathe."
"I've got me a history test next period, and ye' country has a lot of history!" Rory exclaimed as he began to open his book again.
"Well you're not going to history, so don't worry about that test," Sebastian once again leaned forward and closed the textbook on the boy, "You're going to be somewhere else instead."
"And where would that be?"
With a smirk, Sebastian began to walk away, humming a tune to himself. Straining his ears, Rory recognized the tune to be 'Misery', that song by that shade of red band.
"No way…" Rory muttered to himself as Sebastian and his tune started to drift away.
Jumping to his feet, Rory threw his arms out, gathering his books into a jumbled pile in his arms. Nearly tripping over his feet, the boy ran out of the library.
Behind the closed doors of the room, Rory could hear singing and chatter. With a beaming smile, the sophomore rocked back and forth on his heels.
"Now remember, this is only really an audition," Sebastian reminded the excited boy, "And I had to pull major strings with the seniors to get you this, so don't screw up or choke, okay?"
"What happens if I do?"
Sebastian shot the Irish boy a harsh glare. "That's why I'm warning you ahead of time to not. Just go in there and sing, and try to prove that you deserve a spot with us."
Opening the doors, Sebastian stepped inside, Rory trailing behind him. With wide, curious eyes, Rory followed Sebastian to the front of the room.
"Excuse me!" Sebastian yelled, bringing a silence over the chattering room, "With me today I have brought sophomore Rory Hummel-Anderson. He's going to audition to join our little group."
"Hey, it's my Irish Chem partner! Hi Rory!" A dark haired boy from the back of the room jumped to his feet and waved at Rory. Stifling back a chuckle, Rory waved back at Charlie, the hyperactive sophomore who was slowly starting to become a friend.
"God Garrison, is that hard for you to sit still for a minute?" Sebastian snapped at Charlie, who with a scarlet red blush, sunk back into his seat.
"Now that Charlie has shut his mouth," The junior shot a dark look in the direction of Charlie, "Rory, you can start whenever you are ready."
Setting his messenger bag down on the floor by his feet, Rory nervously twiddled his thumbs. "I like to dedicated this song to me Dads, if yew' all don't mind."
Shutting his eyes, Rory began to sing a familiar song from his childhood. It was a song his Mammy would sing to every night before she tucked him into bed, and it was a song he sang to his foster siblings in New York.
Ooh, I love you
Take care of yourself
I'll miss you
The rest of the Warblers were captivated by the singing Irish boy. Even Charlie, who could never go more than three minutes without movement, was still. The senior councilmen of the Warblers were looking at each other with approving glances. But the one most into the performance was Sebastian.
Ever since he had laid his eyes on Rory in their Chemistry class that first day of school, Sebastian knew he wanted him. Even from all the way across the room, Sebastian could practically smell the virginity coming from the boy. And if there was one thing Sebastian liked most, it was the joy of taking someone's virginity. They were always so fresh, innocent…it was like a game to Sebastian. He may not be competing against anyone, but it was always thrilling to him to see if he could beat the goals he set for himself in his little game. And from the moment Sebastian spotted Rory Hummel-Anderson, he knew he wanted the blue eyed Irish boy to be his fiftieth virgin. It was sick and twisted, but as Sebastian watched Rory wrap up his audition, it only made him want to succeed in his goal even more.
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
Take care of yourself
I love you
The room applauded to him, and Sebastian moved onto his feet, giving the boy a standing ovation. Charlie jumped on top of the couch he was sitting on, giving large whoops much to the annoyance of others around him.
"Rory," The head Warbler, who Sebastian had previously informed him was named Maxfield, "By reaction of other Warblers, it's pretty clear that we can say, welcome. So, take a seat somewhere so we can get started with our meeting."
With an obvious bounce in his step, Rory took a seat next to Sebastian.
"You're voice is just as beautiful as your face, you know that?" Sebastian whispered. The boy's flirtation flying over his head, Rory bite his lip, Rory fought back a smile as he tried to focus in on Maxfield's words.
"So I'm really a Warblers now Sebastian?" Rory whispered as Maxfield began to discuss a schedule performance for the singing group.
"You were basically set before you open your mouth to get." Sebastian whispered back, "Like I said, I pulled strings."
"Strings? Where are these strings? Do we need to throw them in the trash?"
Sebastian rolled his eyes before giving the boy a playful shove. "It's an expression. Seriously, does Ireland not have internet or something?"
Rory slumped a little bit in his seat. "Well, what kind of strings did ye' pull?"
Sebastian's green eyes flickered towards Maxfield, and a smirk came onto his face. "Let me give you lesson number one about the Warblers Rory. Everyone has secrets here. People who seem like they don't, do. And some secrets are deadly. Kind of like ammunition for a gun."
"Sebastian!" Maxfield drew attention to the talking boy. "If you don't mind speaking for just one minute, I think you be really interested in hearing about our Halloween set list for our performance at BreadstiXs."
"I'm so sorry," Sebastian gave the head Warbler a fake, sweet smile, "Just really quickly, while I have your attention, I need some help studying for a test this week. Mind helping a kid with a few cheat cheats?"
At the word 'cheat', Maxfield, clearly tensed up. "Just listen please. I'm sure that this information is something Rory needs to hear too. As I was saying…"
As Maxfield began speaking again, Sebastian turned towards Rory. "Looks like I fired that gun, huh?"
With one more smirk, Sebastian leaned back into the couch, contently crossing his arms across his chest. Nervously shifting in his seat, Rory focused his attention on to Maxfield, but Sebastian's words just continued to ring in his ears.
We are going to have a little time jump next chapter. It's Halloween then and all the scary things are coming out ;)
