A/N: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnddddddddddd dd we're back! Lol. I've a very special person in my life who legitimately begged (alright, not begged…but you get the picture) me to update this. And I know that it needed to be updated. I've finally worked out a way to bring in Sebastian's debut…well…sort of. So…let's do it, eh?
Chapter 11
Kurt smiled as he stepped onto American soil. It had been so long since he'd been here that he couldn't believe it. True, he was headed to Walter Reed Medical Center to help Blaine with his recovery, but he was on American soil. And he grinned widely. He turned to look at Blaine and grinned.
"Welcome back to the United States, Captain Anderson."
Kurt said, squeezing Blaine's hand. Blaine grinned just as widely at Kurt and squeezed his hand back. Blaine never thought he'd see American soil again, but he was sitting on it. And he was with the man that he loved, and nothing would make that reunion more sweeter.
"So very glad to be here. Welcome back to the United States to you too, Captain Hummel."
"I'm very happy to be here, Captain Anderson. Thank you. Now, we've got to go find our Medical entourage."
But before Kurt could step forward with Blaine's wheelchair, a tall figure appeared out of nowhere. Kurt looked at Blaine, who suddenly tensed up. Kurt watched as the figure walked closer and that's when Kurt saw it. The tall figure walking towards them. Kurt stepped in front of Blaine and then turned to kneel down in front of him. Blaine didn't look past Kurt. The fear that was paralyzing him as Sebastian Smythe walked closer to them, was nothing compared to that moment when Blaine would hear his voice for the first time. But Blaine's eyes darted back to the blue that was his whole world at the moment, and he felt a sense of calm wash over him. Kurt kissed his nose and smiled.
"I'm right here, Blaine. I'm not going anywhere. I made that promise to you, and I intend to be. We'll face Sebastian together."
And Kurt stood up and turned to face the figure walking quicker to them. Kurt held up his hand as Sebastian approached then stopped in front of them. He had a mischievous grin on his face, and Kurt knew that he was here, somehow to cause Blaine pain. Blaine had enough pain in his life, and the nightmares he was having every night was proof of that.
"Hello Kurt."
Sebastian said, politely. Kurt rolled his eyes and looked at Sebastian. Not only did Sebastian disrespect him by not addressing him by rank, but he was dressed in a horribly tailored Brooks Brothers suit, and Kurt had every intention of playing that card.
"I'm sorry. You're a civilian. You're to address me as Captain Hummel. As well as Captain Anderson, here. But you won't be addressing Captain Anderson, at all."
Kurt said, with malice in his voice. Sebastian rolled his eyes and then glared past Kurt at Blaine, who whimpered in fear. Sebastian looked back to Kurt and grinned wickedly.
"See Captain Hummel, that's where you're wrong. Because Blaine back there…is my property. And I've come to claim my property."
Blaine let out a cry of pain, and Kurt shook his head. His fists were clenched and his jaw was set at an angle. Blaine watched as Kurt stepped forward and with the anger in his voice, spoke to Sebastian.
"Blaine isn't a piece of property, Sebastian. And if I wouldn't be jeopardizing my Military career, I'd beat your ass for all of the shit that you've put Blaine through. He isn't an animal, Sebastian. He is a grown man. And a grown man with a fully active memory. And if it's me he wants, he'll have me."
Sebastian chuckled and looked at Kurt. He wasn't going to throw the first punch, he was going to wait. He knew how long Blaine and Kurt would be in D.C. for, and he intended on getting Blaine back. He knew what he needed to do, so he'd do it.
"He doesn't know what he wants…isn't that right, Blaine?"
Sebastian said, knowing he was getting to Blaine. That was his plan. He was going to get in Blaine's head, and then scare him enough into getting back together with him. Blaine looked into Sebastian's eyes and saw the hate there. Then he looked back at Kurt, and smiled. With Kurt, he could do anything. He struggled out of the wheelchair and stood up. He glared at Sebastian, and then did the one thing he knew he could do. He spit in his face. Sebastian shouted and reached out to grab Blaine, but before he could, Kurt stepped in, and grabbed Sebastian by the arm. He twisted Sebastian's arm behind his back and the military men and women that were surrounding them rushed over. Blaine held up a hand to keep them back, and Kurt spoke to Sebastian.
"If you try and touch him again, Sebastian. I'll make sure that you don't see daylight for a very, very long time. Do you understand me? You have zero business here. And I'll make sure to make your life a living hell if you try. You may be a big lawyer or whatever…but Blaine and I are part of the United States Military, Sebastian. That's bigger than any fancy lawyers. Now, I suggest you get the hell out of here. And leave Blaine alone. Because I promise you this, okay? I'm not going anywhere. I made that mistake once, and I don't plan on doing it again."
And with that, Kurt let Sebastian go. Sebastian straightened his coat, and glared at both Blaine and Kurt. He pointed at them, before the rest of the Military entourage escorted him off the base.
"This isn't over, Kurt. Not even by a long shot. Bye, Blaine."
Sebastian said, blowing Blaine a kiss. Kurt turned to Blaine as soon as Sebastian was gone, and reached out to stroke Blaine's cheek. Kurt could see the fear and exhaustion in Blaine's face. Kurt got Blaine situated in his chair and then knelt down in front of him.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine."
"Bullshit. You're lying to me."
"Okay Kurt, fine. I'm not okay. Sebastian fucking found me. I hadn't intended on dragging you into this. He'll harm you, too."
Kurt realized that's what scared Blaine the most. Not that Sebastian would attack him. Not that Blaine would let Sebastian attack him, but the fact that Sebastian would most likely get to Kurt, too.
"Blaine, honey…I truly can take care of myself. I'm a lot stronger than you think I am. I can handle just about any situation. I'm not going to let Sebastian get to you. Or to me. We're on a protected Military base, Blaine. And as long as we're here…we'll make sure that he's not allowed on the base again. Though, how he got on this base, I'll find out."
Blaine smiled at how Kurt was going to protect him. He shook his head and watched as Kurt walked behind his wheel chair. He knew how strong Kurt was. He knew that Kurt would do anything for him, but he didn't know if he could protect him from Sebastian. But that wouldn't stop Blaine from protecting Kurt from him. Blaine was a lot stronger mentally now, thanks to Kurt, and he'd pull out all the stops to make sure Kurt wasn't ripped from him this time, the way he was before.
