For all you klainers… here's a reward for surviving that big Seblaine chapter. For Seblainers… well you had your turn :)
!Oh and btw if you ship klaine or seblaine and this story starts to lean too much towards one side, please keep reading? Because this story's like glee, the pairings change often…
Spoiler-ish (depends on how you look at it) a/n at bottom so… oh and deathly hallows spoiler if anyone hasn't read it…
Disclaimer (I haven't had one in a while): I don't own glee, seb, blaine, kurt etc. or hp or Dalton as much as I would like to… long A/N here you go!
Sebastian stretched out on the couch and tried to watch some Spongebob. It was one of those days when school just ended, exams were finally over, and all you wanted to do was watch a stupid story about some random sponge in the ocean.
Carole was fixing Burt's tie as she tried to give some instructions to Finn, who was engrossed in the story of Mr. Krabs' hotel. She sighed. "Sebastian?"
"Yeah?"
"Your dad and I won't be home until about two, so help yourself to some dinner and go to bed."
"Does it matter when?"
"Before one?"
He thought about it. Staying up was nice, but then he really wanted to catch the new fairly odd-parents at 10 the next morning. "Okay. Have fun."
Finn turned the volume up during a commercial for the next line of pillow-pets. The Disney ones.
Sebastian looked at the door his parents had just disappeared through. He really wanted to see the Warblers perform, or just Blaine. At least Kurt was sure to have a fun time there. With his totally non-boyfriend.
"Oh my gosh Spongebob! Don't give him the krabby patty!"
Sebastian threw a pillow over his head and grinned tightly at Finn. Oh well, of course he would rather spend the first day of break watching cartoons with his step-brother and eating his way through five gallons of chocolate ice cream instead of watching his brother and a certain warbler perform holiday songs.
He looked down at the line they had created to divide the ice cream in half. His only had a small dent while Finn's was almost all gone. Sebastian took out a new spoon and traced another one. Maybe he should go read a book like The Princess Bride. He smiled and went to go find it but ended up opening Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to a random page. Unfortunately, he opened it to the scene of Dobby's death and immediately teared up.
Meanwhile, at Dalton
"Kurt! Blaine! We're going to be late for all of our lovely parents who probably are missing some very important meeting because they love us so much." Nick was standing in the doorway of the boys' dorm.
Jeff swung into view, slinging an arm over his boyfriend's shoulder. "Well, Kurt's parents actually do… Because his dad isn't some stupid congressman like the rest of ours."
Kurt just smiled. "But it's only six and the performance isn't until 9."
Taking his hand, Blaine answered. "There's a Warblers meeting."
"Another one?" groaned Kurt. He was only complaining for an excuse for his reddening face. Why did Blaine always hold his hand? Not that he was complaining! But it always dropped his IQ about 40 points.
Also, the knowing looks that Jeff was shooting him really weren't helping his heartbeat. Kurt and Blaine carefully dodged every single sprig of mistletoe, while Nick and Jeff ran towards each one. The teachers at Dalton really hadn't thought that one through. Especially not when 20 guys walked in on their math and English teacher making out in the choir room…
They were halfway there when Kurt realized something. "Damn it, I forgot the sheet music. I'll meet you guys there."
"I'll go with you!"
Slipping his hand away from Blaine's, unwillingly, Kurt just reassured him and hurried off.
Blaine smiled at the retreating figure and slipped his hand into his pocket with it still looking like it was holding Kurt's hand.
"Dude." Nick and Jeff were smiling.
"What?"
"You are so…"
"Yes, completely so…"
"What?"
The two looked at each other. Blaine really was clueless. "We'll be late."
They weren't too late. Just late to miss the reason why Wes was chucking a gavel at David.
"WE DON'T HAVE THE SHEET MUSIC! HOW ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO MEMORIZE THE LAST BIT OF SILENT NIGHT WITHOUT MUSIC?"
David calmly ducked another gavel. "I'm pretty sure that everyone knows the lyrics to that Wes..."
"But Trent, Josh, Nick, and you don't know the harmony!"
He threw another gavel that David ducked with complete grace. Unfortunately, it hit a picture of their founder and broke a potted poinsettia. The pottery shards also cut up the leather couches a little.
Everyone, who already hadn't been frozen at the sight of their head councilman losing his head, froze.
Blaine got his voice back. "Okay Wes, it's fine. Kurt just went to go get the sheet music and we just have to get this cleaned up before anyo—"
"Hello boys. A few parents are already here and you should probably make an appeara—" Their French teacher, Madame Lorraine stopped in the middle of the doorway and stared at the room of supposedly distinguished boys.
"Um, bonjour Madame?" Kurt asked from behind with a stack of sheet music. "Could you move a little?" He turned towards the guys. If the sheet music hadn't been so important, he would have dropped the entire stack. Instead, he just dropped his jaw.
David was quickly rifling through the minutes as their teacher sighed wearily.
"Who did it?"
A silence met her words.
"So no one's confessing?" She stared at the room with a piercing gaze
Blaine sighed. "Madame, I confess. I did it."
"Madame! I confess as well." David stepped forward.
Their pretty teacher just looked at two of her favorite students with an arched eyebrow. "Is it that group protection thing again?"
"That Blaine did it."
Kurt almost did drop everything while Madame just blinked.
"Aren't you boys supposed to be defying me and making me yell and interrogate all of you?"
Nick spoke up from the corner. "But he did do it."
Every boy echoed his sentiments while Blaine just looked more panicked as his attempt to protect the council was quickly getting out of hand. He cautiously stepped towards a side door.
The tall brunette just stepped towards Wes. "Wesley, I think you seem to be the one who enjoys his gavels, no?"
"Madame! You're letting Blaine get away!"
She just sighed. "Blaine, I'll just ask you to help your classmates clean up the mess that 'you' made."
Madame Lorraine made her way back towards the main hall. "Oh and boys, do hurry."
Kurt dropped the music on the main desk. "What was that?"
"A coup d'état," Blaine muttered, glaring at Wes and David. "Guys, it can't be my turn already!"
"It was your turn! I had David record it in the official minutes after Nick took the blame for breaking some stupid chandelier that David broke with one of his backflips."
The record-keeper checked his notes. "Nope, Blaine took one a couple weeks ago for you. You broke the window with your gavel, remember?"
"Oh. Yeah. Um, I'll make it up to you Blaine."
"Just clean up the mess," the lead soloist muttered through clenched teeth. "I'm already failing the class Wes, and you are too. I really think this code should be done with."
"All right. All in favor?"
Every hand went up. Wes looked around a little. "I'll say decided once I get a new gavel."
Kurt whispered to Nick. "Again, what was that?"
"Oh it's just this thing that we do, or did, whenever someone broke something here. If we try and frame someone, then the teachers are smart enough to know and make the punishment a little smaller."
He turned towards Blaine. "Since when were you failing French?"
The boy looked up from picking up some shards of pottery. "Um I have a B- and Wes has a B."
"How is that failing?"
"It is in Dalton standards. If you don't get all A's or B+'s, your name is the only one not on the merit list," said Blaine defensively.
"And that's bad?"
"Kurt, would you like to be the only one sitting down at the end of the year when they talk about academic achievements?"
He just laughed, but quickly stopped when he saw that Blaine was being serious. Kurt just held out a piece of sheet music and rearranged the fallen candy canes.
"Hey, Wes!" Nick whispered. "The parents are actually happy tonight."
It was true. For once, every single parent seemed captivated by the group and applauded after every number.
David entered the conversation. "It's the new champagne that's actually champagne. I think we should reward them for being good."
That's how Blaine ended up standing alone in front of the entire crowd of parents with streamers stuffed in his blazer. "Thank you to all of our parents for coming to the Annual Dalton Winter Dinner. We have one more song that we hope you enjoy. Merry Christmas!"
He gulped as he stared in the direction of his parents. Who were actually smiling, but then he noticed all the empty wine glasses around them. Eh, you can't have everything in life.
You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen
Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen
But do you recall…The most famous reindeer of all?
All the parents smiled at the change from most of the old classics like We three Kings. As a few Warblers hummed in the background, Blaine revealed a balloon animal of Rudolph and gave it to David's little sister.
Rudolph the…
"Wait!" Jeff shouted. "Mom?" He jumped off of the stage with a few Warblers stunned and the Council grinning madly.
The poor blonde looked up at her older son, the tiniest bit confused.
"You never told me! How could you?" Jeff strode up to the table and lifted one of the chocolate cigars from the table.
No one noticed some of the other Warblers starting to move out of formation.
Then I saw mommy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath his beard so snowy white;
Oh, what a laugh it would have been
If Daddy had only seen
Mommy kissing Santa Claus last night
Jeff was on his knees and singing into his 'microphone' to his dad. Mr. Sterling just raised his eyebrows and then turned to his wife. "What?"
"Scott. I can explain," she cried dramatically.
The parents really did have too much to drink. Everyone just laughed as Nick went to drag his boyfriend out. And in front of the most homophobic and understanding crowd in Ohio, he gave Jeff a twirl and they waltzed in the middle of the room
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas
Is you
A few parents cheered, while others' smiles slid off of their faces.
Wes took a handful of the snowflake confetti off of one of the tables and threw it into the air.
I'm dreaming
Of a White Christmas
Every single Dalton boy took the hand of his mother and forced her to dance with him as Thad took the next song.
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Feliz Navidad
Prospero Año y Felicidad
Blaine offered a hand to Kurt and they walked back up to the stage. Blaine motioned for some of the Warblers to abandon their mothers and start the backing vocals. He smiled at Kurt as he sang.
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me Christmas Eve
He easily slipped into his falsetto as he sang the next verse to a particular couple in the crowd.
I guess that Santa's busy
Cause he's never come around
I think of him
When Christmas comes to town
Kurt squeezed his hand and jumped in.
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas cheer
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends who come around
It's so much fun
When Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children
He cautiously slipped his arms around Blaine, glancing nervously down to see if it was okay.
Wrapped in red and green
Blaine just smiled and looked up with adoring eyes.
All the things I've heard about
But never really seen
Kurt smiled back and neither of the two boys noticed that some of their backup weren't singing and just staring at the two. Okay, maybe none of them were making a sound and were all secretly plotting on getting the two to kiss.
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
Jeff hated for being the one to do it, but he popped his head in between the two boys. His next lyrics made them jump apart and hastily get back with the program.
Christmas Christmas Time is here!
Time for toys and time for cheer
He sat down and pouted at Blaine and Kurt.
We've been good but we can't last
Hurry Christmas Hurry Fast!
The blond stared and made sure the boys got the full meaning. Judging by the blush on Kurt's face and the lack of one on Blaine's. Only one of them got the message and he was the one who was least likely to do something.
Want a plane that loops the loop
Nick sat down as well.
Me, I want a hula hoop!
The two sang the last lines as a duet, along with some children in the crowd.
We can hardly stand the wait!
Please Christmas don't be late!
They actually got a standing ovation. Blaine met his parent's eyes in the crowd. His dad looked like he was going to be mad, but also looked a little confused while his mother looked completely out of it. He hoped that they had enough drinks to not remember this night.
"Hey kiddo! That was great!" Kurt turned to see his dad and Carole coming his way.
"Thanks dad!"
Carole smiled and gave him a hug. "Finn and Seb can't wait to see you. Do you need to pack up?"
"No, I packed my bags this morning. I'll meet you at the car?"
Kurt grabbed one large suitcase and couldn't wait to get back into normal, skin-tight clothing. He had said goodbye to most of the guys, but not Blaine. His suitcase was gone so he must have already left.
He sighed. Oh well, Blaine would be here in a month.
Ten minutes later, he realized that having a large suitcase meant that it was heavy. Really heavy. Kurt set it down by a fireplace in the hall and took a short break. That's when he saw how windy it was outside.
"Ugh, I'm going to freeze." He pulled out a large coat and was just zipping his suitcase up when he heard a voice.
"Hey." Blaine was just holding his shoulder bag and grinning.
That stupid grin. Kurt barely managed to catch his jacket before it fell into the fireplace. "Hey."
Then Blaine blinked. "Um Kurt, why don't you come over here?"
Kurt looked at his cute-totally-not-boyfriend and stared at a spot a few inches above his head. There was the tiniest sprig of mistletoe above him. He swallowed and obediently walked over. "What for?"
Blaine grinned sheepishly. "You were standing under that. I would have kissed you, but I didn't know how you would react."
Kurt turned to see a large bunch gathered around his coat. How could he have missed that. "Would you have kissed me if I said it was okay?"
The older boy just stared and whispered "Yeah."
The taller boy reached up a few inches and grabbed the ironic sprig. "Good." He saw Blaine's eyes widen and smiled. He gently kissed his cheek. "Merry Christmas Blaine."
The lead soloist just stood there with his mouth slightly open and nothing like the contained leader he was supposed to be.
Kurt grinned and grabbed his stuff. If Blaine hadn't said he was going to kiss Kurt, he wouldn't have even thought about it, but he really wanted to have something with Blaine that Sebastian didn't. He was halfway down the hall before he heard a whisper float through the hall.
"Merry Christmas Kurt."
"So, how was the dinner?"
Burt just grinned at his younger son. "Well, let's just say I've never had filet mignon that good."
Sebastian looked up as he flipped to the last page of his book. "You've never had that."
"Exactly."
Kurt had already said goodnight with a broad grin on his face. Sebastian looked at Carole's camera. "Carole? Did you take any pictures?"
"Oh yeah. Here you go."
He pressed a few buttons and smiled as he saw the huge room filled with people dressed up. There must have been about 3 million dollars worth of stuff in the grainy image. He was about to turn it off when the last picture of the night came into view. It was Kurt hugging Blaine on stage, both with the goofiest smiles on their faces.
Sebastian froze. That wasn't supposed to happen. His finger hovered over the delete button, but forced himself to be a good brother and not push it. So that's what Dalton was like. He stared at the camera and the last sentence of The Deathly Hallows.
All was not well…
Poor Sebastian! I love writing the jealous side of him… Okay this chapter was too much fluff for me… Was it fluffy enough, or more Seblaine, or more fluff about Klaine? Or should we have New Directions?
****And for anyone who thinks I may have put the character labels down wrong… The names on there are there for a reason. I just gave it away… or maybe I didn't and I'll change it later or something… ;) think about it.
Not really sure about the song mashup but it somehow made sense in my mind so…
Review/thoughts? – chocolate-notes :)
