Kurt and Blaine sat opposite Sebastian, they were both there for different reasons. Kurt, he just wanted to see Sebastian crack under the pressure and confess to everything, whereas Blaine was there to make amends, to figure out the whole story and to then move forward once he heard it.
"What did you put in the slushie?" Blaine started, although he could only see Sebastian through one eye because of the eye-patch he was forced to wear, he could see in his eyes the guilt of hurting him. He could tell that his apology would be genuine.
"Rock salt.." Sebastian sighed, looking down at his wrists. They had begun bleeding slightly after he started struggling against them, at least that would teach Thad a lesson to not use chicken wire to bound someone's hands down.
"At least look at us when we're speaking to you" Kurt snapped, he seriously wanted to slap Sebastian, he hurt Blaine and he would never forgive him for it.
Sebastian snapped his head up at that, tensing when he felt Kurt's eyes dig holes into his head. This was seriously making him feel really uncomfortable.
"Why did you bring a slushie anyway?" Blaine asked, changing the subject before Sebastian closed off.
"To stain Kurt's clothes.. that's all it was for, honestly" Sebastian said to Blaine, sincerity lingering in his voice.
He's seen Sebastian mad, neutral but this was different, this seemed sorry. Whilst Kurt may never believe Seb, he could tell that he actually meant it.
"C-can I ask you a question, Blaine?" Sebastian asked hesitantly, he could tell Kurt tensed beside Blaine.
"Sure" Blaine responded, ignoring Kurt's suddenly angry demeanour towards Sebastian.
"Why aren't you pressing charges?" That was the million dollar question, to all three of them.
Blaine didn't know why he didn't want charges against Sebastian, but he just didn't want to press them. It was confusing to them all, Kurt would've pressed charges against Sebastian if he was in Blaine's position, so he didn't understand why Blaine wasn't going to. Sebastian deserved them, he believed he did as well, so why wasn't Blaine going through with it?
"In all honesty, I thought about it," Sebastian nodded at Blaine's words, "but then it just didn't feel right"
"Well, now that we've cleared the air about that, let's get going to McKinley," Blaine said, grabbing a pair of pliers and gently breaking the chicken wire which had been dug into Sebastian's wrists.
Kurt blanched at the sight of the blood, he wasn't squeamish when it came to blood, but he couldn't stare at it for long periods of time. At least he didn't throw up, Rachel would've, Kurt thought as Blaine grabbed a rag and began pressing it against Sebastian's wrists.
"Why are we going to McKinley?" Sebastian asked, he went from his cheeks being flushed from embarrassment to his whole face becoming pale.
"Because, the two groups are going to make amends with each other" Kurt said, rolling his eyes at how scared Sebastian was. It made him laugh that he couldn't face the others after everything he put them through.
"Bas, what did you do?" Blaine asked, and Kurt turned towards him, now that he and Sebastian were good again he suddenly had a nickname for him?
"I-I.." Sebastian couldn't form the words. How was he supposed to go into the same room as Santana after they kissed and he ran away? How was he supposed to face her after he did that to her?
"Spit it out, we haven't got all night" Kurt spat bitterly, crossing his arms over his chest.
"I-I kissed Santana"
Santana and the other New Directions members were all dreading this. They got along fine with the other Warblers, it's just Sebastian. According to Thad, they had tied Sebastian to a chair and were letting Kurt and Blaine interrogate him whilst he couldn't run away. It seemed brilliant.
"Okay so, Blaine just texted me saying he and Kurt are on their way with Sebastian and that Blaine has forgiven him" Jeff explained, he was very proud of Nick's plan. This was all happening because of him.
Santana remained quiet, everyone else was busy chatting and mingling with the Warblers, she just couldn't bring herself to get subjected into a conversation that would most likely mention Sebastian and she didn't want to get reminded of that kiss.
"You're Santana, right?" A Warbler asked. They seemed nice enough, Santana thought as she nodded her head to answer the Warbler's question. They had bleach blonde hair and had really nice eyes.
"My name is Jeff, and I'm one of Seb's friends" he said, sitting down next to Santana.
Santana nodded.
"Well, you already know who I am" she replied, an innocent smile placed on her face.
"Well, I've only heard stuff that Seb has said about you" he replied, causing Santana's smile to be falter.
Sebastian was talking about her? It must've been good things if Jeff was happily talking to her. Right?
"All good things I hope," she replied, deflating.
Jeff nodded, and suddenly Santana had her breath taken away. If Sebastian was saying good things about her, then why did he run away from their kiss?
"You okay?" Jeff asked, placing a hand on to her shoulder.
"I-I kissed Sebastian" she blurted out.
Kurt, Blaine and Sebastian were all seated in Kurt's car. Blaine was seated in the passenger seat next to Kurt whilst Sebastian was sat in the back. It was surprisingly relaxing, Sebastian and Blaine couldn't even feel any tension between any of them. The radio hummed in the background as they all kept quiet, no-one initiating a conversation.
Blaine:
So this is what you meant
When you said that you were spent
And now it's time to build from the bottom of the pit
Right to the top
Don't hold back
Packing my bags and giving the academy a rain check
Both Sebastian and Kurt turned to Blaine, who had an encouraging smile on his face, whilst there was no tension between the trio, the car was deadly quiet and Blaine didn't particularly like that.
Kurt:
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
A small smile was placed into Blaine's face as he heard his boyfriend begin to join in, his optimism was clearly rubbing on him. He turned around and faced Sebastian, who was sitting awkwardly in the car.
Sebastian:
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
Both Blaine and Kurt had their eyes wide open as they listened to Sebastian sing, sure, they had heard him with the Warblers before, but they had never heard him without them and he was really good. Even Kurt felt obligated to tell him that.
Blaine:
So this is where you fell
And I am left to sell
The path to heaven runs through miles of clouded hell
Right to the top
Don't look back
Turning to rags and giving the commodities a rain check
The car was alive, they were all tapping along, they were having a lot of fun, and Sebastian didn't know the last time he had this much fun.
Kurt:
I don't ever want to let you down
I don't ever want to leave this town
'Cause after all
This city never sleeps at night
Sebastian:
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
Blaine and Kurt:
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
Sebastian:
This road never looked so lonely
This house doesn't burn down slowly
To ashes, to ashes
Kurt and Blaine and Sebastian:
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
It's time to begin, isn't it?
I get a little bit bigger, but then I'll admit
I'm just the same as I was
Now don't you understand
That I'm never changing who I am
The song ended and they all had massive smiles on their faces. They had all forgotten about what had happened to Blaine and they were all just having fun, enjoying themselves with each other's company.
"As much as I hate to admit it, you're a good singer, Smythe" Kurt said, and they all heard the disgust in his voice.
"You're not so bad yourself, Lady Hummel" Sebastian remarked, smiling as Blaine smiles back at him.
They reached McKinley 10 minutes later, and they all agreed to keep the jam session on the down low, they didn't need anyone ridiculing Sebastian and Kurt for enjoying each other's presence.
The New Directions were still talking with the Warblers in the choir room when Blaine, Kurt and Sebastian walked in. The room was deadly silent until Kurt walked over to Sebastian and stuck his hand out, Sebastian doing the same thing and they shook hands, smiles placed on both of their faces.
"ABOUT TIME!" Nick screamed, walking over to Sebastian and Kurt and pulling them both into a hug. He didn't care that the other boys froze, he just really wanted a hug.
"SANDWICH HUG!" Jeff screamed and barrelled into the hug, going behind the two boys and squeezing them tightly as he joined Nick in the hug.
"Jeff, in the nicest way possible" Sebastian began, "get the hell off of us"
Laughing, Jeff pulled away, as did Nick and let the two flustered boys calm down.
"How can we trust you?" Quinn asked, and Sebastian didn't sign at all, he didn't try and say they could. He understood why they would question it.
"You don't have to trust me, I understand why you don't even like me" Sebastian started, "but the others have done nothing wrong, so don't drag them down with me"
"I removed every single piece of blackmail he ever had on you guys, including the Finn photos" Thad answered, staring daggers into Sebastian's head.
"Oh and Thad, don't use freaking chicken wire to tie someone down to a chair!" Sebastian growled, lifting up his sleeves to expose his bloody wrists, they were a lot better than earlier though.
Everyone gasped as they saw the state of his hands, there was a lot of blood, but they didn't seem that deep at least. Thad immediately ran up to him and began apologising. What surprised the Warblers though, and pretty much everyone in the room, was when Sebastian pulled him in for a hug, and forgave him.
"Is that my Lacrosse hoodie?" Jeff asked, staring at the hoodie that Sebastian was wearing.
"In all honesty, I just grabbed a random hoodie from my dorm room" Sebastian shrugged, grinning when Jeff started laughing softly.
"How about we take this to the auditorium and make amends with songs?" Mr Schue recommended, holding a couple bags of food and drinks.
"It'll be just like those Warbler sleepovers we always force Seb to attend!" Zayn commented, making Sebastian roll his eyes as the Warblers began laughing.
"Whatever, I'll order some pizza then" Sebastian shrugged, getting squeals of approval from everyone, including Mr Schue, which honestly scared him to his core.
They all left the choir room and began trekking to the auditorium, but Santana held back from everyone as she walked. She had remained silent when Sebastian walked in, she didn't want to talk to him. A presence next to her brought her out of her thoughts.
"Penny for your thoughts?" Sebastian asked, a genuine warm smile on his face.
"How can you act so cool around me after running out after we kissed?" Santana accused, heartbreak so clear in her eyes that Sebastian felt his own heart rip in half.
Sebastian sighed. He knew it was going to get brought up, especially since Jeff had come up to him whilst they were walking and told him he knew that they kissed. In all honesty, he was surprised that Sebastian swung that way, he always thought he had the hots for Blaine but he just got proven wrong. He remembered laughing whe Jeff said that he must've been daydreaming about Nick whenever he was over in their dorm room and he would talk about Santana all the time.
This was a conversation that was long overdue.
