HEY! I'm back!
Sorry this took so long. SO MANY THINGS kept me from this story: Life, school, family drama, writers block, getting caught in other projects, etc...
But I'm back now with a new chapter! Inspiration struck me recently to get this story back on track!
Thank you to klainerswiftiegleek for requesting more to this story and lighting the fire under my butt to work on it. This would not be up without your persistence!
With out farther ado...our story ~
As David got in line to get a drink, Kurt turned to Sebastian.
"You're dating DAVE?!" He said in disbelief
Sebastian nodded "Ya. Is there a problem with that?"
"NO!" Kurt said quickly "No, there absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. Just...wow. I guess it all makes sense now. But...I REALLY didn't see that coming."
"I sort of saw it..." Blaine muttered, embarrassed
"Really?" Kurt asked in disbelief "How?"
Blaine shrugged "He was sort of dropping a few hints...whether he meant to or not."
Seb shrugged "Some intentional, some not."
Kurt shook his head "Ok then. Let's forget how I'm obviously not picking up on conversational subtlety and get on with the dirty details of..."
"We met at Scandals" Seb cut him off, smiling softly "He was...shy. Sweet. He put the cub in bear cub. So innocent and closeted. We hit it off the minute we met. Instant friends. Nothing more than that at first. Neither of us wanted more. But slowly...we got closer. He learned more and more about me and I learned more and more about him. I bitched to him and he vented to me. We got drunk and said somethings we wouldn't have said if our walls were up. We cried in the back seat of his car. He was my best friend. Even without me letting my walls down, he knew how to read me. But...that started to scare me. I wanted more...but I didn't want to want it"
"So you pushed him away." Kurt said softly
Seb nodded sadly "I think it was sometime after the thing he pulled with you on Valentines. He came up behind me at the jukebox and asked how to pick up a guy. I didn't know if he meant you or me...but either way I was scared. I didn't want to lose him to you forever unless I was sure I really didn't want him and that I wasn't just being a scared ass. In the end...I did want him...I still do...but I didn't want to admit that at the time so...I did what I always do. I was an absolute douche to him and told him point-blank to back the hell off. That I was NOT interested. To...to 'stay in the closet'." He winced at his own words "And then the next night he wasn't there anymore. I was worried, but not horribly. I figured he was just busy...or blowing off steam...or ignoring me to give me a taste of my medicine. But...But then I see all the BIGOTED BULLSHIT on his Facebook page and hear from 20 different sources that he hung himself, half of them telling me he'd died while the other half said he'd survived. And...And I...I thought for sure I'd lost him forever and I..."
A large hand was suddenly on Bas's shivering shoulder. Dave pulled the boy to his feet and wrapped him in a tight hug against his chest. "SSShhh! Hush baby. It's alright now. I'm here. I'm alive. You didn't lose me then and you're not gonna lose me now. BREATHE Bazzy! You're alright. Calm down sweetheart!"
Seb clung to his boyfriend's shirt as he trembled, tears streaming down his cheeks "I'm ok. Just...it hit me all over again and..."
"I know lovebird" David crooned, running gentle finger through his boyfriend's hair "I know. I'm right here holding you. It's over now."
Seb nodded and quickly composed himself. He looked to Klaine "Sorry about that..."
"Totally fine" Kurt smiled
"We understand" Blaine said softly
Seb and Dave nodded and sat down. Dave took a sip of his coffee before putting the cup to Bas's lip "Drink. You haven't had COFFEE in a week! That tea isn't giving you enough caffeine."
Sebastian shook his head "No thank you Boo-bear. You know how I am. Nervous stomach. If I drink coffee like this, I could be LITERALLY sick."
Dave nodded "Ok" He looked to Klaine "Anyway, where Seb left off. He apologized to you guys before going to see me to ask if I was ok with the plan for regionals. OBVIOUSLY I was, because it was brilliant...Stop blushing Bazzy, it was...so I said yes. Then he started apologizing right and left and he was crying..."
"And Dave...he.." Seb shook his head "He just grabbed me around the waist and pulled me into the bed with him and held me tight in his arms as I sobbed into his chest. Told me over and over it wasn't my fault. Not to blame myself for what happened. That he wasn't mad at me. That he knew I was just 'a scared little boy lashing out'...like he'd been before. He forgave me and wanted to start over. Be friends again."
"I'm STILL trying to get him to accept that it wasn't his fault" Dave chuckled softly "Anyway, so we agreed to be friends again. We went to scandals together and hung out at each other's houses and I went to Dalton a few time. Slowly...we started to fall for each other again. Harder than before. Neither of us were ready to say it yet, but I think we both knew what the other was feeling, so it was ok. We knew it would happen when we both wanted it to."
"And then one night at Scandals it sort of just...fell into place" Seb smiled softly."There was this cradle robber creeper that wouldn't leave me alone no matter how many times I told him no. Bought me a drink..."
"Which I SWEAR I saw the guy slip something into.." Dave growled protectively
"And tried to coerce me into drinking it" Seb continued. "And Dave was just having NONE of that. He comes STORMING across the room and pants himself on the stool behind me. He put his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him..." He reached over and pulled Dave's arms around him in a sort of demonstration.
Dave smiled and pulled Seb onto his lap "And I just glared the guy down and told him he had 5 second to back away from my boyfriend before I pulled out my pocket knife and gave him a sex change then and there."
"Then Dave picks up the drink the guy had bought me and dumps it all over the guys head!" Seb laughed " After that the guy got this look on his face which I'm still to this day fairly certain means he soiled himself and RAN out of the bar."
"Wasn't the first time we'd scared off old timers for each other, but it was the first time we'd pulled the 'boyfriend' card" Dave said "It was just too close to the truth to use it without meaning it. So when Bas turned to me and asked if I meant it...I had to say yes. That I liked him"
"And before his could shoot off any half brained apologies, I shut him up" Seb smirked. "Put my mouth over his so the only sounds he could make were moans of pleasure and whimper BEGGING for more."
Dave blushed "Don't play cool Bas. I distinctly remember drawing some interesting sounds out of YOU too"
Seb bit his lip, clearing his throat awkwardly "That you did. You...were RATHER good at that."
Dave chuckled "I still am! Should I give Kurt and Blaine a demonstration?"
"Please don't!" Kurt squeaked "I'm sorry, but there are somethings I REALLY don't need to see!"
"I second that," Blaine gulped "Please don't do that in public! As Kurt said earlier to his dad on the phone, There are CHILDREN!"
Dave smiled and looked to Bas "Ah, so you've spoken to Mr Hummel?"
Seb nodded shyly. "Ya. He was actually really nice. He hasn't completely forgiven me...but he's giving me a chance. His only threat was telling me to try not to end up in ICU or the morgue"
Dave's arms tightened around Seb "So basically what I told you." He looked to Kurt and Blaine "And the verdict with the New Directions?"
Kurt smiled "We'll help. Not all of us are so excited about it, but we'll help"
Dave nodded "Thank you."
"Our pleasure" Blaine nodded "It's Warbler code. We help each other, no matter what."
Dave nodded "Seb's told me about that. It's a good policy. Means you're never alone."
They all agreed. They sat in silence for a while until Seb's phone went off. He looked down at it and gulped "Oh shit..."
Dave frowned and held him closer "What's wrong baby?" he picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. He growled "Dammit!"
Kurt and Blaine looked at the phone, confused. They felt their stomach's drop at the name.
Drill Sergent Dip-Wad
Blaine sighed "Bet I can guess who THAT is..."
Kurt looked to Sebastian "Hunter?"
Seb nodded, "Hunter."
