A/N: Another time Kurt was spinning in circles: Disc One, Season 2: "Auditions" if you go to the last scene where Rachel is singing and looking in the door, it shows Kurt spinning and then Mike spinning and Kurt's giving him high-fives. Sigh. The things I notice. Let me know if you saw it!
A/N2: This is the longest chapter. Usually the chapters are 10KB or 11KB and this one was 16! I'm so proud!
Broken Hearts and Butterscotch Pie
Chapter Fourteen
"Regionals!" Kurt said happily, high-fiving Jeff as they walked in, dressed in all black, gold suspenders, and gold bowties. As you can guess, Blaine got to pick the outfits this year for the boys.
"This the first time I've been here with you guys," Sebastian ran over, breathing heavily, "Here you go, Jeffy," he handed him a bottle of water. Jeff had said he was thirsty and Sebastian ran off.
Jeff smiled at him, "Gee, Seb, you didn't have to," he smiled.
"I wanted to," Sebastian leaned down and pecked his lips.
"Sinner!" a girl that was dressed from their other competition yelled at them, pointing.
Kurt tilted his head, "What the hell are you wearing?"
"It's a middle age outfit!" she snapped, "Not stop your sinning and start the healing! You'll go to Hell!"
Sebastian snorted, grabbing Jeff close to him and kissing him hard on the lips, "Was that how the healing is done?"
The girl glared at him, walking out.
"Oh, she was one of those die-hard Christians," Kurt sighed at Jeff's shocked face, "My dad's a Christian, you don't see him acting like that."
"Wow," Sebastian snorted, "I have the feeling they're going to lose today."
"So will the Warblers!" Jeff piped up, "I want to rub it in their faces!"
"Good," Sebastian smiled, wrapping an arm around his shoulders, "I'm rubbing off on you."
Jeff rolled his eyes and the lights flickered, "Let's go!"
After the performance from the Christian private school -none of them bothered to learn the name- the Warblers were up and Nick was singing solo for both of their songs.
"The sun goes down. The stars come out. And all that counts is here and now. My universe will never be the same. I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came.
You cast a spell on me, spell on me. You hit me like the sky fell on me, fell on me. And I decided you looked well on me, well on me. So let's go somewhere no one else can see you and me."
Sebastian arm tightened on Jeff's waist when he saw Nick looking directly at Jeff.
"Turn the lights out now, now I'll take you by the hand, hand you another drink, drink it if you can. Can you spend a little time, time is slipping away. Stay with me, I can make you, make you glad you came.
The sun goes down, the stars come out, but all that counts is here and now. My universe will never be the same, I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came."
The Warblers froze and the music started for their next song.
"I've heard that you settled down. That you found a boy and your married now. I heard that you dreams came true. Guess he gave you things, I didn't give to you. Old friend, why are you so shy? Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light. I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited, but I couldn't stay and I couldn't fight. I hoped you'd see my face and then you'd be reminded it isn't over.
Never in my life will I find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you. Don't forget me, I beg, I remember you sayin..."
The song continued but Sebastian was too busy staring at Jeff. He wasn't going to lose him, not now. He couldn't let Nick win him back with just two songs. He even changed the lyrics of them! You don't mess with Adele lyrics! Ever.
"He messed with the Adele lyrics," Jeff whispered to Sebastian like he was reading his mind.
"I know," Sebastian held his hand tightly, "No one is supposed to do that."
"Never ever," Jeff leaned over and pecked his lips.
Sebastian smiled at him and kissed him again, longer this time.
Mr. Schue tapped their shoulders, "Tone it down, guys."
Sebastian sat in the seat, hands in his lap, smirking at Jeff, and whispering in his ear, "After we win this thing, we're going to my place."
Jeff's cheeks turned bright red, it was easy to see by the light on the stage.
"Ready for this?" Puck smiled.
Kurt took a deep breath, "Nervous."
"You're always nervous before competitions," Blaine called, "And I've told you many times it's ador-"
"Don't say it, Anderson," Puck said, "You may have apologized but you're still on my list."
Blaine rolled his eyes, continuing to roll his neck and smiled at Sam, "Hey, man."
"O-Oh," Sam said quickly, shocked that Blaine was talking to him, "Hi, Blaine."
Blaine smiled at him, "Nervous."
"Sort of used to it at this point," Sam shrugged, "But I don't know. It's a big performance. We could win nationals this year. Especially with all the extra help...and you."
Blaine smiled at him, "Thanks," and looked at Sam and his cheeks turned red, then he quickly turned around, going over his moves and trying to ignore the pull in his chest.
"Hey," Sebastian said, "Ready for this?"
"This is my first solo. Like, ever," Jeff mumbled, straightening his bow-tie in the mirror and smirking, putting on eye-liner.
"What are you doing?" Sebastian laughed, curious.
"That fake vampire guy is the judge. He'll love this," Jeff smirked and turned around, letting out a gasp when his chest was against Sebastian's.
Sebastian smirked down at the younger boy, "That's really hot," and pressed their lips together.
"Alright, guys!" Mr. Schue said, pulling the couple's attention off of each other, "Hands in."
They all put their hands in.
"Regardless what happens here tonight," Mr. Schue smiled, "I'm really proud of all of you for coming together."
Sebastian smiled, hand free hand sliding down Jeff's back until they reached the back of his black jeans, making the blonde blush dark red.
"I still don't see why I didn't get a solo!" Rachel snapped.
"Rachel, it's time for our newest members to shine," he smiled at Sebastian and Jeff, "Break a leg, guys," he put his hand in, "One, two, three..."
"NEW DIRECTIONS!" they all yelled.
Jeff walked out on the stage, smirking as the music started blaring loudly and he smirked when Sebastian and Tina came out, putting their hands all over him as he sang the song.
"Hot and dangerous. If you're one of us then role with us, 'cause we make the hipsters fall in love when we got our hot pants on and up. And yes of course we does, we runnin' this town just like a club and no you don't wanna mess with us got Jesus on my necklace."
Jeff smiled happily when everyone was clapping and looking at him. This was his time to shine...and to get some revenge.
Sebastian grabbed Jeff from behind, swaying their hips until Jeff spun around, continuing his song, but this time it had Kurt, Sebastian, Tina, and Puck singing with him while everyone continued to dance.
"Got that glitter on my eyes. Stockings ripped all up the side. Looking sick and sexified! So let's go-o-o!"
"Let's go!"
"Tonight we're going har-har-ha-ha-ha-hard. Just like the world is our-our-ou-ou-ou-our's. We're tarin' in a-par-par-pa-pa-pa-part. You know we're superstars we are who we are!"
Puck and Blaine's eyes were on Kurt while he danced, Sam's eyes were on Blaine as he sighed, Quinn's eyes were on Sam, Artie's eyes were on Quinn, Seabastian's eyes were on Jeff, and Jeff's eyes were on the audience. Yeah, this was one big mess.
Puck and Blaine like Kurt, who likes Puck. Sam likes Blaine, who likes Kurt. Quinn likes Sam, who likes Blaine. Artie likes Quinn, who likes Sam. This was going to be confusing...
"DJ, turn it up. It's about damn time to live it up! I'm so sick of bein' so serious. It's makin' my brain delirious. I'm just talkin' truth. I'm tellin' you 'bout this shit we do, we're sellin' our clothes, sleepin' in cars, dressin' it down, hitting on dudes...hard.
Got that glitter on my eyes. Stockings ripped all up the side. Looking sick and sexified! So let's go-o-o!"
"Let's go!"
"Tonight were going har-har-ha-ha-ha-hard. Just like the world is our-our-ou-ou-ou-our's. We're tarin' in a-par-par-pa-pa-pa-part. You know we're superstars we are who we are!"
Jeff finished the song and he smiled as everyone froze and got into their places as the music started again and Sebastian started singing. He was glad that they did the first song as a Cheerios performance too, his voice was used to the notes.
"When I was younger I saw my daddy cry and curse at the wind. He broke his own heart and I watched as he tried to reassemble it. And my mama swore she would never love herself again. And that was the day that I promised I'd never sing of love, if it does not exist.
But, darling, you are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
Maybe I know somewhere deep in my soul, that love never lasts. We've got to find other ways to face it alone and keep a straight face. And I've always lived like this, keeping it comfortable. Listen. And up until now, I swore to myself I was condemned to loneliness. 'Cause none of it was never worth the risk.
You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception.
I've got a tight grip on reality and I won't let go to what I've got here. I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up, leave me with some kind of truth it's not a dream. Whoa.
You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. You are the only exception. And I'm on my way to believing."
Sebastian finished the song, smiling at a teary eyed Jeff who ran up and hugged him, Sebastian swinging him around.
"I love you," Sebastian whispered in his ear.
"Love you too," Jeff murmured.
"We're so going to win this," Puck smiled, bowing.
"Yeah," Kurt mumbled.
Puck looked up, "What's wrong, babe?"
Kurt sighed, "Look at the crowd. Tell me what's missing."
"Well," Puck said as the others bowed, looking around, "Well there's Carole, my mom, Mercedes's dad, Tina and Mike's parents, Rachel's dads, Sam's parents, Blaine's dad, Quinn's mom, Mr. Schue, Miss. Pillsbury, Brittany's parents, Santana's parents, Jeff's dad, Sebastian's mom, Artie's parents, Sugar's dad and...oh, shit. He never misses a performance," he said as they walked off stage, "Where the hell is Burt?"
"He's too busy with his stupid congress thing!" Kurt cried, tears streaming down his face.
Jeff hugged him, "It's okay, Kurtie. Don't cry."
"C'mon, Jeffy, let's leave these two alone," Sebastian said quickly, leading the blonde away.
"He...it's like he doesn't even care anymore! Tomorrow is the anniversary of my mom's death and he has a conference planned! A stupid interview on the day we're supposed to have Friday Night Dinner!" the counter-tenor cried, "He didn't even bother to call me today."
Puck pulled him into a hug quickly, kissing his head, "It's okay, sh, I'm here. I'll be with you all day tomorrow. We can cut school and hang at my place and watch musicals."
Kurt sighed, "Your mom will get suspicious."
"Not anymore," Puck said, "I came out today."
"Y-You...and you didn't tell me?" Kurt asked, wiping his eyes and sniffling still, but had a smile on his face.
"She thinks you're a great influence on me," Puck laughed, "She accepted it," he smiled softly, "You sure you're okay?"
Kurt nodded, "I just...miss how things used to be. Minus Blaine."
"Change of subject," Puck said, sitting down with him as they awaited the judge's decision, "Did you see how Sam was looking at Blaine?"
"I know," Kurt said, "And Quinn was looking at Sam!"
"And Artie was looking at Quinn!" Puck laughed, "If we could just get Quinn to date Artie and Sam to date Blaine, our problems would be solved."
"Um," Kurt laughed, "Don't look now, Mr. Match-maker, but we didn't even come up with a plan and they're already-" he pointed to where Blaine had Sam pinned against the wall, kissing the poor guy senseless.
"Damn," Puck said, "GET SOME, EVANS!"
"Well that wasn't rude at all," Kurt said sarcastically.
"You know you love it," Puck laughed, pecking his lips.
"Would all glee clubs please report to the stage? All glee clubs to the stage," the loud speaker announced.
"Cross your fingers," Kurt sighed.
"And this year's first place winner of the 2012 regionals championship is...the New Directions!" the judge announced.
"Yes!" Jeff said, kissing Sebastian's cheek.
Sebastian laughed as Mr. Schue got the trophy.
Jeff looked over at his former friends and sighed, walking over.
"What are you doing?" he heard Sebastian murmur from behind him and felt all their eyes on him.
Jeff walked over to Nick and held out his hand, "You guys were great."
David shook it as Nick stood there in shock, "Thanks, Jeff. That means a lot. And if it means anything to you-"
"We're so sorry!" Nick blurted out.
Jeff smiled, "It's okay. I forgive you, even Nick. I'm hoping that...we all can still be friends?"
"Of course!" Trent said, hugging Jeff at the same time Jeff went to hug him.
Jeff laughed, "I'll see you guys around."
"Yeah," Nick mumbled, "See you around," he gave him a sad smile and walked out with the other Warblers.
"That was really nice of you, Jeff," Mr. Schue nodded.
Jeff smiled, running over and hugging Sebastian, wrapping his legs around his waist, "We won! All thanks to your number!"
"And your sexiness!" Sebastian laughed, "Did you see Nick? He was so drooling."
Jeff laughed, "Yeah."
"Party in the choir room when we get back!" Mr. Schue called.
"Want to go?" Sebastian asked.
Jeff bit his lip, "I believe I was promised that we were going to your place," he smiled at Sebastian nervously.
Sebastian smiled at him, taking his hand and kissing it, then dragging him out of the room.
Puck sighed when he saw Kurt sad, Sam and Blaine making out again, Quinn looking sad, and Artie comforting her. They were about to open a new chapter in their lives, and Burt Hummel was going to miss it? That wasn't right. Kurt needed his dad, especially tomorrow.
Puck put his arm around his shoulders, "Let's get to that party, okay?"
"Okay," Kurt mumbled.
