Chapter 24

The cast jumped straight back into scriptless rehearsals after that weekend. They were all pleased to have Sunshine back and even more pleased to see a newer relaxed and carefree side to the small girl. With their group being declared first, ahead of the uncoordinated football team that joined ND they joined forces with the Warblers for Regoinals and Nationals.

With three weeks left in the semester tickets went on sale and the group went to their Regionals against Vocal Adrenaline and Clef Up, a choir from Westerville High. Because they were such a large group they could go bigger with dance moves and stunts. Thanks to Santana she whipped the Dalton boys into shape to do cheerleader lifts, some were quicker to take to it then others. They were on last and were currently watching Vocal Adrenaline from the wings. In the audience someone sat beside Wes.

"Long time no see Pipsqueak." The other said.

"Jesse, to what do I owe the displeasure?" He asked sourly, not taking his eyes from the stage.

"That anyway to treat an old friend?"

"No, it's how I'm gonna treat an ass who bullied me for about two years of my life."

"Touchy."

"Leave me alone St James. Get kicked out of College or something?"

"How was I supposed to know I had to actually attend, at Carmel they paid some Asian kid to do all my classes."

"Dumbass." Wes muttered.

"Besides, I'm a Glee coach now, that number is all mine."

"I can tell, it's as 2D as your acting."

"There is nothing wrong with my acting."

"Sure." Wes rolled his eyes. A break is announced and Wes moved to get a drink from the concessions. Jesse followed to gloat at the standing ovation Vocal Adrenaline had just received. "Go away Jesse," he rolled his eyes.

"Admit it was good,-" He was face to face with Wes who was standing casually, when a familiar voice interrupted him.

"St James, what did I warn you about screwing around with my baby?" Wes grinned, Jesse horrified they turned to the voice and Wes threw himself into Justine's arms.

"Justine! Austin! Guys, what're you doing here?"

"We got a weeks vacation, came to watch Justine's brother in Regionals, we had to miss Sectionals. Nationals we will not miss."

"Your brother goes to Dalton?"

"Peyton."

"How I didn't realise I will never know. Why didn't you guys email-"

"Surprise." They hugged their younger brother tightly. "Ooo, baby, you've grown."

"Just a little."

"Now I thought you were in New York."

"I could say the same."

"I asked first and you already know."

"NYADA project, I'm directing the musical Peyton is in."

"I am gonna kill that boy." Justine muttered. The boys chuckled and took their seats, sitting together to watch the group perform. Justine was on her feet as their set came to a close. The two boys following suit as did the crowd.

Five minutes later the judges stood on stage. Vocal Adrenaline looking very smug as Clef Up received 2nd place. "And in 1st place, congratulations... The Dalton Academy and McKinley High Warblers!" The group cheered and screamed with joy, Sebastian and Santana collected the trophys, one for each school and Vocal Adrenaline hung their heads in shame, awaiting a rampage from Jesse. At Dalton the whole group, Wes, Justine and Austin were in the choir room when Peyton noticed his sister.

"Justine!" He jumped into her arms.

"Stupid," she smacked him on the side of the head.

"What'd I do?"

"You didn't tell me it was Wes who was your director."

"Oops."

"Mmhmm." She crossed her arms and Wes and Austin smirked.

"How'd you know Wes anyway?"

"My brothers brought me to Dalton sometimes."

"Why was Justine at Dalton? Peyton, you said you had a brother?" David was very confused, Wes and Austin were laughing now. "What?

"Justine sometimes goes by the name Justin, but prefers to be Justine."

"Huh?"

"I'm a boy." She said taking off her wig at which point David dropped to the floor with an ungraceful 'thud.'

"Holy shit."

"Language," Wes scolded and Justine re-fixed her hair. "Justine had her own female version of the uniform, and was a Dalton student. And Warblerette. Leave David, he'll be OK. He sorta had a crush on you." Wes laughed as did Justine and Austin.

"And you didn't tell him?"

"It was cute." He chuckled, calming a little.

Later on on the way home Wes posts a large about of envelopes to whom Thad and Sunshine don't know, but they did know they had tickets in them. Wes dropped Sunshine off before picking up their order from the Indian resturaunt close to the apartment.

Wes and Thad lay in bed, Thad was laying on Wes' chest. Since that first night Thad had become considerably braver and more adventurous. "Wes?"

"Yeah?" Wes absent-mindedly ran his hand through Thad's hair.

"I want to try more."

"Thad-?"

"Not 'all the way' just, I don't know, um-"

"I know just the thing." Wes smiled and rolled them over, kissing him. "Just lay back and relax," he punctuated each word with a kiss. Both were already only wearing boxers, Wes slipped his hand into Thad's waistband, playing with it before taking hold of his member, Thad let out a moan as Wes captured his lips. Removing their boxers Wes kissed Thad again, reaching towards the bedside table, fishing around in the draw. "Fuck," he cursed.

"What?" Thad gasped, breathless.

"No lube, I forgot to pick some up. Fuck," he cursed again. "We, sorry Th-"

Thad took Wes' hand, bringing it to his lips he took Wes' two fingers into his mouth, sucking on it, swilling his tounge around it before taking it from his mouth. "Please," he mumbled. "I want this." Wes pressed his lips back to Thad's, taking his index finger, circling around Thad's entrance.

"This is going to feel strange, just relax and try not to focus on it OK?"

"OK-" Wes slipped his slick finger past the tight ring of muscle into a new kind of heat.

"Fuck." He mumbled, pressing his lips to Thad's, trying to help him focus on anything but the pain his face was betraying. Slicking his other hand with saliva Wes took hold of Thad's erect member again and began pumping his hand up and down the shaft.

"Wes, please, move." Thad begged. "Ah," he moaned as Wes withdrew his finger almost completely before pushing back in, hooking his finger. "Oh fuck." As he felt Thad's hole loosen he added a second finger. "Ah, Wes," he moaned. Wes hooked his fingers again, not expecting Thad's reaction. "Oh FUCK, Wes, please, do that again," his hips bucked up from the mattress as he cried out. Wes smirked, he'd found Thad's prostate, he repeatedly aimed for that spot as he worked Thad's cock with his other hand. "Wes, please, I'm clo-" he was cut off by Wes taking his cock into the heat of his mouth, still working his fingers. "We-ah" Thad cut off as his body shuddered beneath Wes and he came, shooting his hot cum down Wes' throat. Thad caught his breath and Wes took him into his arms. "I shou-"

"Not a chance, I'll be OK, tonight was about you," Wes kissed Thad and Thad tasted himself on Wes' tounge. Thad began to feel tired, like after any sexual activity, "night baby."

"Nigh'" Thad murmured, his eyes fluttering shut.
