Sebastian looked at Blaine as he sat on the couch in the man's apartment. Every time that he looked at the shorter man, he was looking at him like he wanted to say something. Honestly, it was starting to get on his nerves. The only reason he was even here was because Darius was running low on gas and wasn't able to go the hotel and make it back to his own his home. Also the only gas station nearby was by the apartment and he suggested that Sebastian come over. How could he have forgotten that Darius was in a relationship with Blaine? It was easy because every time that he saw Darius he was without the little hobbit attached to his side. It dawned on him when he had stood outside the door and leaned against the door, his head thumping against the wood. The door had opened revealing a surprised Blaine. After explaining why he was here, Blaine had let him in.
So now here he was with Blaine sitting in silence for ten minutes now. Sebastian looked at Blaine once more and saw the man was chewing the bottom of his lip with a look on his face that said he wanted to say something. That's it. This man has been giving him looks for the past ten minutes and it was starting to really grate his nerves. Sebastian groaned and rolled his eyes.
He snapped. "What?"
Before he could answer the front door opened and Darius stepped in dropping his keys in the glass bowl beside the door. He shut and locked the door and walked over to the two of them, dropping a kiss on Blaine's cheek. "Sorry I'm late. Sebastian, let me change and then we'll talk." He said tugging his tie loose.
Sebastian nodded, waving him away to go and change and said, "I'll still be here."
Darius nodded his head and walked to the back to the bedroom. Blaine looked after his boyfriend then looked at Sebastian before excusing himself and rushing to the bedroom and shutting the door behind himself. Sebastian stared at where Blaine rushed off to and made a confused look. What the hell was all that about? The hobbit looked like he was about to fucking come out of his skin. He shook his head not wanting to spend too much thinking about it and sighs sinking back into the comfortable couch running his hands over the jeans he changed into before coming over. He had wanted to talk with Darius without Blaine being present or close enough to hear what they were saying. That's why he always had these sorts of things at the hotel where things were private and Sebastian didn't have to worry about anything he says getting back to Kurt.
Oh god, Kurt. His chest tightened at the thought of his ex-boyfriend. Fuck, did that hurt. A week and he still used to the word to describe what Kurt was now to him. He has never hated that term so much until now because it described what he and Kurt were; ex-boyfriends. Sebastian frowned at the thought and glared at the small round coffee table in front of him and wondered if Kurt was doing just as bad as he was. Was Kurt crying every other night? Was he in constant pain of not seeing the man who proclaimed both love and hate in the same breath? Did Kurt even think about him the way Sebastian does? Does Kurt even miss him? These were questions that he needed answers to. He would retrieve the answers himself, but that would require him actually talking to Kurt and aft6er his after his attempt today, he highly doubted that would happen.
If only he could know.
"Alright Sebastian, what do you want to talk about first?" Darius questioned as he walked into the room with sweats and an old college shirt on.
Sebastian snapped his head up to see the man, tailed by Blaine, step into the room. Then it clicked. "I want to know about Kurt. I know one of you knows something."
Both men froze and exchanged looks with one another. For a full twenty seconds the room was filled with silence. Sebastian looked between them expectantly. The looks on their faces told him that they knew something. Darius shook his head taking a seat in the armchair, Blaine standing behind him. "Sebastian, you're here to talk about you not about Kurt."
"Yeah, and my conversations with you revolve around Kurt, don't they?" he countered.
Darius looked away, a conflicting look on his face. Blaine placed a comforting hand on his lover's shoulder. Darius looked back at Sebastian. "How have you been holding up?"
"I want to know about Kurt."
Darius opened his mouth to tell Sebastian to quit asking about Kurt's well-being, but Blaine spoke up effectively cutting the man off. "He's doing alright."
Both Darius and Sebastian looked at Blaine, who kept his expression cool. Sebastian noticed the small warning look Darius shout his boyfriend but ignored it in favor of trying to get more information out of Anderson. "What do you mean by 'alright'?" He licked his lips. "Is he holding up well?" There was almost a desperate tone in his voice when he spoke. He tried to cover it up, but right now he did not care.
Blaine swallowed, sparing a glance at Darius before answering. "He's managing the breakup in…" He looked up at the ceiling like the eggshell white roof would give him the words he was searching for. "…his own way."
Sebastian sagged against the couch releasing a sigh and closing his eyes. "Has he mentioned or asked about me?" He wondered opening his eyes to look at Anderson.
"No he has not, not that I know of."
Sebastian nodded his head as Darius stood to his feet his expression annoyed and eyes hard. "Blaine, can I speak with you for a moment?"
Blaine nodded his head and the two walked into the kitchen. Sebastian watched them leave and then closed his eyes taking in the small pieces of information that was given to him about Kurt. Kurt was doing alright and seemed to be handling the breakup. Well? Bad? Maybe he should've asked about that/ what if Kurt was like him and was practically mourning over the loss of the relationship like he was? Was it hard for Kurt to function like it was for him? Did Kurt ache to be with him like Sebastian ached to be with him? Was Kurt reacting to their breakup like he had over his and Blaine's relationship?
Or was Kurt happy without Sebastian and is actually doing okay? Was he laughing and having a good time with someone else? Going out and doing whatever because of his new found freedom? Even worse, was he in the arms of another doing all the things that should happen behind closed doors? Was he happy with another man and letting them touch, kiss and hold him? Did Kurt see the current status of their relationship—their breakup—as a way to be with other men? That's what most people do, a voice sneered at him.
Bile rose in the back of his throat and his nails dug into the palms at the thought of another placing their hands on what was his. He may not be in a relationship with Kurt, but dammit, Kurt was his and he would do anything to keep sure that no other man laid a finger on Kurt. He needed to reassure himself that none of that has happened.
He twisted his body towards the kitchen and he could see Darius and Blaine having a heated conversation through the breakfast nook. He opened his mouth to say something then closed it to stare at the two. Darius was glaring at Blaine, a look Sebastian has never seen directed towards the hobbit. Blaine's arms flailed as he spoke in hushed tones, eyes equally glaring at his boyfriend. Darius gestured to Sebastian without looking at him then pointed to Blaine accusingly. Okay, so they were talking about him. That was interesting.
Sebastian watched as Blaine pull at his hair and groan loud enough for Sebastian hear. Darius said something that made Blaine drop his arms to his sides and glare at the man in front of him. Darius crossed his arms and looked at Blaine as though he were waiting for an answer.
Sebastian chose this moment to speak. "Hey! Hobbit! Prince Charming!"
Both men turned and looked at Sebastian like they forgot that he was even there in the first place. Darius said something to Blaine who rolled his eyes and they walked back into the living room. Darius sat back down in the armchair and Blaine sat at the end of the couch. Darius glanced at Blaine before turning to Sebastian. "Sorry about that." He said his tone agitated.
He raised a brow at his tone but nodded his head accepting the apology. "I want to know…" he cleared his throat before speaking again. "Kurt's not seeing anyone, is he?"
Darius narrowed his eyes in a warning way but Sebastian noticed the look wasn't directed at him, but at Blaine. Okay, seriously, what the actual fuck was going on with these two? He thought about the question he just asked, Blaine's behavior before Darius came home and how Darius and Blaine were acting right now.
Was Blaine—?
Sebastian set his own glare on the man at the end of the couch, leaning forward slightly, his hands curling into fists. "I swear to god, Anderson, if you're screwing around with Kurt, I will fucking kill you myself." He seethed.
Blaine looked at Sebastian with wide eyes at the sudden threat and shook his head raising his hands in a surrendering gesture. "I'm not, I swear! What the hell kind of question is that, Sebastian?" He asked bewildered.
He sat back into the couch and let out a relieved sigh, thankful he didn't have to beat the shit out of Blaine. That wouldn't have ended well. He looked back and forth between Blaine and Darius. "What the hell is up with you two? I come in here and he's acting like he has a secret to tell," Sebastian said gesturing to Blaine. "And then you get home and then you two are arguing, which honestly, is beyond weird." He finished now looking at Darius. "What's going on with you two?"
Darius sat his body slightly tense. "Personal reasons, Sebastian. I'd like you to respect that."
Sebastian looked at his friend for a moment, silently studying him before nodding his head and sighing softly. He didn't want to piss Darius off more than he already was. "Is Kurt seeing anyone?"
"Why are you asking?" Darius questioned irritation evident in his voice.
"Because…" He glanced at Blaine, internally debating on whether or not to say anything in front of him then sighed deeply, no longer caring. If this got back to Kurt, then he would know that Sebastian was missing him. "It would kill me for him to be in another relationship."
Darius sighed, scrubbing his face and leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. "Sebastian, if he was in a relationship—I'm not saying that he is," He said quickly, noticing Sebastian's expression change. "Shouldn't you be happy for him?"
Sebastian bit the inside of his lip. He should, it would be the right thing to do. "What do you want to hear me say? Yeah, I'll be happy for him, I hope he finds what he wants and is happy with this new guy?" He scoffed. "Fuck, Darius, have you not been listening to me every time we talk?"
"Sebastian, you can't—"
"You keep saying that I can't hold onto him and still depend on him loving me. Well, I do. I can't get that man off my fucking mind, and every single damn time I try to get him off my mind there's always something that brings him back up." He shrugged his shoulders. "I can't live without him." His voice grew thick with emotion. "He does things to me that I can't even explain. I feel things I've never felt when I'm with him; I've experienced more than ever when I was with him. Kurt is the only man I will ever love, I don't want anyone else."
Darius frowned, looking at Sebastian, his eyes full of sympathy. "That's you Sebastian. What if Kurt wants to try to be in a relationship with another guy, a guy who won't injure him, physically or verbally? You've told me before you would do anything to make sure that Kurt was happy. If this, being with another guy, makes him happy, do you want to interfere with that and ruin that for him?"
"I want him to be happy with me!" He exclaimed.
"You cannot act like a child with this Sebastian! You're being selfish." He finished softly. "Kurt is a person, not an object."
"I know that." Sebastian said setting a cold stare on Darius.
He sighed and shook his head, sitting back in the chair and shrugging his shoulders. "Then don't act or treat him like an object. You need to let him do what he wants. He's a grown man; you're neither his father nor his owner, Sebastian. If Kurt wants to speak with you, he will do it on his own terms. If you want to contact him you can, if he doesn't respond to you, you can't respond with violence or anger. Just accept it."
Sebastian stared at Darius for a long while. He was right, he shouldn't get so worked up about Kurt wanting to do his own thing and be his own person, but fuck did it hurt and the thought about him being with another guy made his skin crawl and he wanted nothing more than to just grab Kurt and refuse to ever let him go. He looked at Darius and then exhaled deeply through his nostrils, running a hand through his hair and groaning. This was hard; he couldn't just give Kurt up, or kick him like a bad habit. This was an addiction. Kurt was his addiction and to keep away from him was like telling someone who was addicted to cocaine to just stop. Sebastian deeply needed his fix and without it, he was suffering. God was he suffering without what made him feel like he was on cloud nine.
"It's not going to be hard, you have me…" Darius gestured to Blaine who was looking at Sebastian with a small smile. "…us, to be there for you when you need it."
Sebastian looked at Darius then shifted his gaze to Blaine who moved over just slightly to place a hand on Sebastian's knee in a friendly way. Blaine smiled. "I know you may hate me, but I'm here for you."
"I don't hate you…" He said softly. "Your presence just irritates the fuck out of me." He gave Blaine a small grin.
Blaine laughed. "It's a start."
Darius smiled at their interaction and stood to his feet. "We're your friends Sebastian, no matter how much you may not want to, you can lean on us for support."
Sebastian looked at them and a smile spread across his lips and he snorted softly amused. He actually had friends who were willing to be there for him. He's really on had Kurt to rely on but not with the addition of Blaine and Darius, Sebastian felt like getting through this entire thing, is a little easier and soothed his mind knowing that he had not one, but two people to turn to when he really needed it. "Thank you."
Darius nodded his head. "Now, who's hungry?"
A/N: Okay! So Sebastian has made friends out of Darius and Blaine who now have his back and would be willing to be there for him :)
Though, I kind of want Blaine to have ulterior motives with being friends with Sebastian but that just sounds so out of character for him! Maybe, I'll think about it.
The tension between Darius and Blaine! Ahhhh, I am thinking about writing a little short about what their argument was about and why they're so wound up wit one another.
Anyway, how did you all like this chapter? What was your favorite part? Least favorite? Lemme know! (Almost at 200 reviews! Gah~)
