Chapter 7: Brothers and Sisters

Sebastian brought Barry into Dalton the next day. He purposely got Barry a visitor's pass. Which caused a few confusion in the office. Or at least the lady across the table who gave the visitor's pass.

"I just need to go to my dorm first." Sebastian said as he lead Barry towards the dorms.

"Wow." Barry said "I knew you were a lot more organized than I am but this is just ridiculous"

"That's not all me." Sebastian said "Hunter throws a hissy fit if the rooms messy. My drawers are slightly disorganized."

"Slightly?" Barry asked with a raised eyebrow as lay down on Sebastian's bed and opened the well arranged drawer filled with small knick knacks and a few papers.

"Shut up." Sebastian said teasingly then closing the drawer. "Anyways, make yourself at home don't touch the cabinet, table and drawers at the right side of the room, those are Hunter's. You can touch mine just don't mess it up too badly. I have to fix my hair or I won't be able to see a thing."

"That is your fault for growing your hair so long."

"That was all Thad's idea." Sebastian said. "He wanted to see how much my hair could be styled especially because it's so thick."

Sebastian then entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him. Barry was looking around the room. In Sebastian's side of the room. The room had a bit of personality. A few pictures of him with his foster parents abroad, a picture of him with Clair. And at the back unnoticable unless you were lying from the bed, two pictures. The same picture Joe had at the living room of the three of them when they were eleven before Sebastian left Central city.

Barry smiled and stood up from where he lay on the bed. He went to the closet where he found five sets of uniforms pressed and hanged. Which gave him a brilliant idea.

"So, Barry, what to have that tour. If you want I might be able to sneak us into Crawford." Sebastian looked up and saw Barry in his uniform.

"So? Do I look like the nasty Sebastian Smythe?" he said with a not so sinister smirk.

"Well for one, I wouldn't wear that sweater in public." Sebastian said. motioning to the red Dalton sweater. "I look a bit too festive."

"True, it is a bit warm." Barry said taking off the sweater and putting on the blazer.

"You just gave me a brilliant idea." Sebastian said taking out his phone. he sent a quick text and it wasn't long until Thad came into the room.

"Wow now I'm really seeing double." he said "Are you sure about this?"

"Positive."

"What are you going to do."

"We are going to mess with a few people." Sebastian said with a signature smirk.

~()~

"I have to admit, this place is beautiful." Barry said as they walked around Dalton. He was still wearing Sebastian's uniform, and his hair was slightly styled back.

"This place is nearly a century old." Sebastian explained. "And the building probably older. The owner of the mansion used to be some really old and rich socialite, he wanted his son and daughter to get the best education. Without having to fear from the jealousy of those kids who were not so fortunate. So he left this mansion and the rest of his friends' and acquaintance's kids were all brought here to learn from various tutors. Soon it became a school."

"Did the subjects change at least over the years?"

"No."

"So you still have etiquette class?"

"Yeah." Sebastian said. "But in a way it helped with my foster parent's fancy parties that were down right unbearable before. The other adults are rather stiff. You don't know if you're said something wrong they just frown at you and look judgingly at your parents."

"That's harsh."

"Yeah." Sebastian agreed. "So the Choir room is just across the hall, ready to mess with a few Warblers?"

"Of course." Barry said. "Just loose the smirk. Because you know I can't pull off that smirk."

Sebastian gave a genuine smile and an innocent look. "That better?"

"Much." Barry said with a smile as they entered the room.

"Hey guys." they both said simultaneously. And the Warblers gaped at them. Thad bit his lip to keep himself from laughing.

"Sebastian."

"Yes?" they asked.

"This is just unnerving." Nick said. "I swear, I have never seen Sebastian smile like that.

"Like what?" Barry asked.

"Like that!" the two looked at each other and Sebastian gave a shrug.

"So can you figure out who's who?"

They all looked at Thad.

"Hey don't look at me." he said. "I couldn't tell them apart since the first time I met Barry."

"This is going to be fun." Barry said with a playful smirk. Close to Sebastian's signature smirk.

"That's Seb!" Jefff said pointing to Barry.

Someone chuckled at the back. Barry and Sebastian turned and noticed an old friend from Central City at the back.

"Hey Clark."

"Hey Bas, Bear."

"Bear?"

"Don't ask." They both said.

"How do you know both of them?" Jeff asked.

"We used to live in the same neighborhood." Clark explained.

"So care to tell us who's who?"

"Nah this is entertaining to watch."

The Warblers all studied the Allen twins closely and were getting frustraited. They were identical twins but it doesn't mean they are complete clones.

Trent came towards the two. He studied the two brothers as the Warblers all watched him. He studied everything from their faces, hair and uniform. Then he smiled.

"Seb's on the right."

"How can you tell?" Nick asked.

"Most from Dalton, or at least from the Warblers, only buttons the top button of the blazer. Or not at all." Trent said. "It's like a trend or something one of them buttoned both of the blazer buttons."

Sure enough they all noticed that Barry had both buttons buttoned. Sebastian gave them all a cheeky smile. "Took you guys long enough."

"Hey it's not our fault that you guys look like mirror twins."

"We're identical." Barry informed. "It's obvious that we'd look alike."

"So now that you guys are finished messing with people's minds" Jeff said. "Care to tell us how you guys are brothers yet don't share the same name?"

"Let's just say that something happened when we were kids so we had to separate." Sebastian said.

"So, we know there is one thing that you guys are alike." Nick said. "How are you both different. Other than the fact that Sebastian is a science idiot while your brother is a science genious."

"First, I'm going to get you for that comment, Duval." Sebastian said with a serious look while Nick just smiled cheekily. "And for one, I'm gay."

"Well there's that." Trent commented. "Who's older?"

"I think it's Seb." Dale, one of the younger Warblers, said. "I mean when he isn't being an ass, he's like a big brother to most of us here."

The younger Warblers agreed while some of the older ones were a bit unsure.

"By two minutes."

The Warblers all got to know Barry even Hunter started to get to know the younger twin when he came from the self defense class he was teaching.

"I like your friends." Barry said as they returned to the Smythe home. "They're all different but you all seem to get along so well."

"They aren't really my friends." Sebastian said with a smile.

"Sebastian..."

"Those guys are like family." Sebastian said. "In that room, we are all brothers."

The road back home was quite. But Barry can't help smile at his brother. He was finally letting someone in. other than him.

New York City

Sebastian was at his apartment. It was rather big. A few hours in, he already missed having a dorm mate. No matter how OCD or how unruly they were. It was around seven at night when he heard someone knock on the door.

He opened the door and was surprise to find Barry on the other side. He was in his casual attire with a trench coat over it. a messenger bag slung across his shoulder and a large suitcase beside him.

"Alo mate." he said in a terrible accent. "I hear yer looking fer a flatmate."

Sebastian smiled widely as they both exchanged a hug. and Sebastian lead him inside the apartment.

"How..."

"Your parents called." Barry said. "And they found out that I was accepted in a college here in New York and was planning to stay in a dorm. And they may have mentioned that they were looking for a small apartment, which seemed a bit too much for someone who was living alone. So they said they found the perfect apartment, and I was more than welcome to come stay. That is of course if you don't mind."

"Of course, I don't" Sebastian said hugging his brother. "I can't believe you're here! Where are you going?"

"I got accepted in Columbus."

"I go o NYU." Sebastian said.

"Close enough." Barry said. "since we haven't been in the same living space for more than two weeks in seven years."

"This is going to be great!" Sebastian said cheerfully which Barry had to admit he hadn't seen in a long time. "Niff, Rachel and Thad are here in New York too. And I heard that Clair is in Julliard. And you're here too!"

Barry chuckled. "Don't get too excited. Who knows I might snore when I sleep and keep you awake all night."

"I can go buy earmuffs." Sebastian said offhandedly. "this is going to be awesome."

~()~ Age 25

Central City

When Iris found out that Sebastian was currently resided in Central City again. She texted him to get together with his best friends brother.

They shared coffee at Jitters.

"So a lawyer." Iris said. "Aren't you a bit young to be a lawyer for about two years?"

"Dalton had a few prelaw courses." Sebastian said. "I took enough units from Dalton that basic subjects were credited as well as three prelaw courses. So it was like I skipped around a year of prelaw."

"That's nice." Iris said. "I don't know how but Barry convinced me to take journalism. 'Take journalism, Iris. Journalist have all the fun.' News flash. Journalism is boring."

Sebastian chuckled. "You do know that journalism can be a prelaw program, right?"

Iris paused. "What?"

"Yeah." Sebastian said. "It's one of the courses that can be used as a prerequisite to study law."

"How am I just learning this now?"

"Iris, I am almost a hundred percent sure that your dad and or your boyfriend would kill me for suggesting that." Sebastian said. "Heck, I'm sure Barry would slap me senseless for even suggesting it. They're just trying to protect you."

"I don't need protection." She insisted.

"I am talking this from my perspective." Sebastian said."But if you see it from Joe's point of view. He's seen the worse that this line of work had to offer. And you're his little girl. The one he raised as a single father. I am sure that if he could shelter you from that. He would. Even if it meant making you very bored in your current line of work."

"I guess I see what you mean." Iris muttered. "So when am I going to meet this husband of yours? I still can't believe you got married."

"Well, he was going to meet up with us after his class."

"He's still studying."

"No, he's teaching a few self defense and gymnastics classes while he studies for his board exam."

"Athletic and smart." Iris commented. "How have I never met this adorable hottie?"

"Case of bad timing." Sebastian said his phone rang and he read the message. He looked up and saw his husband at the doorway. "Looks like your bad luck in timing has run out."

Iris looked back towards the door of Jitters.

"You told me he's adorable. You never told me he was a hunk."

"I'm sure your boyfriend would love to hear you say that about my husband." Sebastian whispered with a cheeky smirk as his husband came towards them.

Iris slapped his arm. "You know what I mean."

"Hey Bazzy." he said as they exchanged a kiss. He looked at Iris who sat on the other side. "So care to introduce me to your friend?"

"I'm getting there." Sebastian said. "Iris this is my husband, Hunter. Hunt this is Barry's best friend Iris West."

"Nice to meet you Iris." he said with a smile. "I'm Hunter Clarington.

Aaaand Im going to end it here so everyone can soak that all in.

I just want to say, I'm sure everyone wanted Blaine. But seriously, one of the few reasons, is well. If you notice Sebastian had this big presence in the story. A big and slightly wild presence. Blaine's such a big sweetheart Seb might push him around if he's being in a crappy mood. Hunter won't let him do that.

As an eldest child. I personally want to find someone who'd take care of me in a sense. Instead of the other way around. since I was taking care of my siblings for so long. And in similar case of Sebastian who had to figure almost everything out on his own and wanting to take care of his brother even when he didnt have to. he tends to slip. and his sense of order falters and after which he lashes out. trust me i know i've lashed out on my best friend/crush/crusher and now everything is awkward with him.

And also. Thanks to Karatekidremix who proved to me how this pairing would and could work. THANKS :D

Soo...Please review and see you guys in two weeks or less if i managed to write anything while i'm at my Uncle's home.
