Summary: While Blaine makes a decision about his future, Sebastian has to deal with a secret from his past.

Notes: During the song at the end there is a contrast in thoughts between the person the song is being sung for and the person that thinks he or she is the person the song is being sung for. It will make sense (hopefully)

This chapter is divided by the people Blaine and Sebastian meet with throughout the day.

Canon dialogue is used in this chapter. Please see previous chapters for the disclaimers.

Warning: There is a line later in the chapter that may be offensive to some. It is explained in the end note.

The morning after the Diva-Off, Sebastian woke up and found himself alone in bed. The rustling noises he heard meant that Blaine hadn't left yet, at least he hoped that was what it meant. There were a lot of people (girls) at the Motta's, and he was naked under the covers. "Hey sleepy head, it's about time you woke up. I almost had to leave without saying good bye." Evidently, Blaine had chosen that morning to be exceptionally perky. He was usually a total zombie until he had a cup of coffee.

"You could have woken me."

"Nah, you were too cute. So, I'll meet you at Breadstix later to help with set-up, say around three. Does that give you enough time to work on your super-secret project?"

"Three sounds good." Sebastian thought about laying back down, but then checked out what Blaine was wearing and had to say something "Are you and Sam seriously going to take your Harleys out for a ride? It's like 20 degrees outside."

"It's cold but the roads are clear. We'll be fine." Blaine leaned in and gave him a kiss. "Does this seem weird to you? You know, us waking up together and discussing our day. I mean, it feels almost…domestic."

"I wouldn't say domestic. How about comfortable?"

"I like that, comfortable. Ok, I'm off. Remember, I'm going to the Berry's after my ride with Sam."

"Is Burt meeting you there?"

"Yeah, I thought it would be easier to just get it over with at one time. I want the rest of this weekend to be focused on you, making sure the Sugar Shack is a success, you, having fun with our friends and you."

"Sounds good. And Blaine, you know I'll support whatever you decide."

Blaine gave him another kiss, but when he pulled away Sebastian felt something he hadn't before "B, what's going on? You didn't shave. You never go out like that."

"I know, I thought I'd try something different" Blaine said nonchalantly, waiting for his boyfriend to realize what he was doing. Maybe if he put on his glasses.

That's all it took. "Holy shit! You're doing your loose curl, scruff, glasses look. You know what that does to me. That's playing dirty Anderson."

"Oh, you think this is playing dirty?" Blaine grabbed his leather, biker jacket from the chair and put it on "Now what do you think?"

"That you're going to leave me with the worst case of blue balls in history."

"Then my work is done here. See you at three!"

"Wait, you're really leaving me like this?"

"Good bye, Bas. I love you." Blaine gave him a wink and an evil laugh as he left, stage one of his diabolical plan a complete success.

"Well, I hate you!" Of course he didn't, but when Blaine didn't respond Sebastian knew he was gone. He needed to get his super-secret project started, but there were a couple of stops to make first.

Sam and Nick

Blaine looked Sam directly in the eyes and said "No". Then he turned to look Nick directly in the eyes and said "Hell no." During that time Sam's father had walked into his living room, laughing at what he saw. "You know guys, if you're asking Blaine for a favor, you might want to ask a little nicer."

"Thank you, Mr. E" Blaine was grateful for the assist, but wondered why Dwight was there in the first place "I thought you were going to stay at my house with Mrs. E, Stevie and Stacy."

"I was, but I didn't realize that the Dalton guys staying here would involve a new, state of the art security system and two guys that use to be Special Forces."

Sam scrunched his face, knowing Blaine was going to blow a gasket "You didn't tell him about Doug's security detail?! Sam! What's wrong with you?! Mr. E, I'm so sorry, but as long as his brother…"

"Blaine, it's ok, but I felt better staying here. I'm going to join Mary and the kids tomorrow. Just so you know, Stevie has already beaten both your and Sam's high scores on several of your video games and Stacy has made a pretty good dent in your Disney collection. Plus, Mary has almost transferred all the data to your mom's new accounting system. It all worked out for the best, I promise. I'm going to go make some coffee so you three can go back to your argument."

"Thanks Mr. E, but the answers are still no. There's nothing to argue about."

Sam and Nick looked at each other, silently agreeing for Sam to go first "Why won't you sing with us? It's Narissa's favorite song and we need a fifth person. Come on, you know you always wanted to join the Justin Bieber Experience."

"I'm already singing too much as it is. Why don't you ask Finn? Didn't he try to join at one point?"

"Finn doesn't know the song. I already asked."

Yeah, Finn was a fucking liar "Sam, people living in the Arctic Circle, with no television, radio or internet know that song. And you do know that it's about a dysfunctional relationship that's actually nothing but a series of booty calls, right? Doesn't anyone listen to lyrics anymore?""

"Like I said, it's Narissa's favorite song and you are the reason we met in the first place. If you're already singing too much just take the lead on the chorus. Also, I think Finn is being an ass because we wouldn't let him in the Experience last time."

Nick thought that was strange "Why didn't you let Finn in the group? I thought you guys were friends."

"We were, but he was sleeping with my girlfriend at the time."

"Which one?"

"Quinn"

"Ouch!"

"That was not the thing to say when you want me to sing that song to my cousin" Blaine reminded Nick. "We are all aware that Quinn is beautiful."

"I'm sorry, so so sorry. But Blaine, please. After Beautiful, it's her favorite song that you sing."

"That I used to sing. That I sang to Kurt in a very public fashion. You were there, remember?"

"You'll just be background music. I'll take care of the romantic stuff. The guys already said they'd help."

Sam jumped in "Yeah, I want to get my Warbler on. I bet Puck and Artie will help, and Mike too. He'll be back in town around noon."

Nick could see Blaine was beginning to fold. He just had to keep playing on his love for his cousin "And I want to do it this afternoon, before the Sugar Shack. You don't want her to be sad at her own party, do you?"

"I can't believe you went there Duval. All right, I'll do it, but you owe me big." As in not acting like an idiot when Jeff and Nichole tell you they're seeing each other, Blaine told himself and then made a mental note to tell Jeff. "I guess that means I'll do your song too, Sam. I'm supposed to meet Bas at Breadstix at three, so…"

"No, no, no, I'll take care of everything, you two just go on your ride." If he was honest, Nick was amazed that his plan worked. He wasn't going to give Blaine a chance to change his mind.

Sam put on his jacket and grabbed his helmet "By the way Blaine, how much are you singing tonight?"

"The two songs I planned, plus I've been dragged into an opening number and some of the girls asked me to do a song with them."

"Did you make them beg like we had to?"

"No, they said the two magic words."

"Pretty please?"

"Katy Perry."

Xavier

Xavier Smythe walked into the diner, and immediately knew something had to be going on with his son. Hands down, a big greasy breakfast was Sebastian's favorite meal. However, due to years of conditioning for Lacrosse there were only certain times he would eat one…Christmas morning, his birthday for dinner and when he was upset. After they ordered, Xavier knew whatever it was had to be bad. "What's going on, and don't tell me nothing. You ordered a ham and cheese omelet, home fries, a side of bacon and a cinnamon roll that from what I saw is about the size of your head. Even with all of that, I didn't truly begin to worry until you asked for chocolate milk."

"Dad…"

"Don't dad me. Since you were two years old, you have asked for chocolate milk whenever you were afraid of something. Hell, we bought it by the gallon until you found out Blaine's hands would be fine and don't get me started on what happened last year. What is it son?"

"I know he got out of jail." Sebastian hadn't meant to say it like that, but in reality there was no good way to start this conversation.

"Ok, but Stafford has to wear the ankle monitor. He won't be able to get near Blaine or Doug. Why are you bringing this up now? He was released a couple of weeks ago."

Sebastian took a big drink of his chocolate milk and then just blurted it out "I wasn't talking about him. I was talking about my biological father."

Shit! "Oh, Sebastian." This was not how this was supposed to happen. "How long have you known?"

"Since right before I joined you guys in Paris for Christmas. Someone said something about mom's age when she had me and the numbers didn't add up. He didn't say that I was adopted, but I'm pretty sure he knows and has been blackmailing Blaine with the information."

"Is it Blaine's ex?"

"Yes, but that's actually not what I want to talk about" He took another drink of his milk. His father was right, he was afraid, but probably not in the way he was thinking. "Yesterday I told Cooper that if I ever was alone with one of the guys that hurt Blaine, I would kill him. Dad, I meant it and it scared me. It scared me so bad. What if I'm just like him?"

Xavier went to the other side of the booth because of the sudden, physical need he had to hold the boy that had been his son since he was one second old "Sebastian, you will never be like him. You are my son and your mother's Darling Boy. You knowing about him doesn't change that. It will never change that."

"Are you going to see him?"

"No, he means nothing to us anymore. He stopped being our son a long time ago."

Hiram, LeRoy and Burt

"I was afraid you'd be disappointed in my decision." When Dr. Shepard had suggested that he talk with someone about what was going on with his case, Blaine immediately thought of Rachel's dads. He had been impressed by the story she told him of how they talked to her about his attack after it happened. When he called and asked them if they would do it, they were both at Dalton an hour and a half later.

It was at least a two-hour drive from their house to Westerville.

"Not at all. This was always about what you thought was best for you. Not anyone else" LeRoy had reached across and held Blaine's hand. Rachel had warned him that LeRoy was the tactile dad and Hiram was the overthinker. Maybe that's why he got along with them so well.

"I know Stafford's claim about my attack not being a hate crime is wrong, and if it was just me I might have felt differently. But, if I fight him in court then Tommy will be brought into it and I can't do that to him or his family."

Hiram smiled at his husband, who was obviously fighting his urge to hug Blaine "We are so proud of you. You are choosing to protect someone you care about. That's incredibly brave, even if it doesn't feel like it."

LeRoy couldn't help himself and put his arm around him. "But, it's also ok that you don't what to be known as that guy. We know you're going to be a star someday, you're too talented not to be. That's what you should be famous for."

"Thank you, I just needed to hear it. So, Mr. Hummel, I guess you're wondering where you come into all of this?"

"Kid, aren't we to the point where you start calling me Burt again?"

Blaine was happy that Cooper had told him that the DA in the Dalton case had received information clearing Burt. Although, Cooper didn't tell him was how he knew that in the first place. Hmm..."Ok, Burt. I had the idea that maybe since I won't go to court with this, maybe there's some way to pass legislation instead. Something along the lines of that if a person is attacked solely based on his or her sexual orientation, it is automatically classified as a hate crime. I know that it sounds like the law now, and I can't seem to find the right words, but with how Stafford is claiming…"

Burt could see why the Berrys were so proud of Blaine. He still didn't know what had happened, but his son had really fucked up letting him go "I understand and I'd be honored to help you, son."

Hiram began to laugh. At least his husband had tried "Mr. Berry?...LeRoy?...I can't breathe."

Kurt

Kurt had been up most of the night trying not to obsess about how his life got so out of control. There was no way in hell that he was going to work for Cooper Anderson, but where was he going to get $10,000? And, his dad hadn't said anything about not having to testify in the Dalton case, even though Cooper said he was taking care of it. And, Finn had somehow found out everything. And, both Mercedes and Rachel were all buddy-buddy with Blaine. And, they had the nerve to tell him it was best if he didn't go to the Sugar Shack tonight. Who the hell did they think they were? There was no way he was giving up a chance to see…

"Hello, Hummel."

"Sebastian?" There he was. Sebastian was sitting at his kitchen table. Oh god, he hadn't brushed his teeth "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, don't sit down on my account" Sebastian said as he stood and pushed the chair back "I'm leaving, but I thought I should tell you a few things first. To start with, you can stop blackmailing Blaine that you're going to tell me my family's dirty little secret, because I know I'm adopted and how it happened. Plus, my father knows that I know and is rather unhappy about what you've done with that information. Next, for some reason Blaine thinks that you won't show up at the Sugar Shack tonight because you've alienated pretty much everyone you consider your friend. Yeah, I know better. You'll be there and I don't have a problem with it. You see, B is singing at least one song that could be considered a quote/unquote Klaine song, and I want to watch as you have to sit there and know he's not singing to you. By the way, if you throw one of your shit fits because of that, Cooper is ready to throw your ass out and so much more."

"Is that all?" Kurt snapped to keep from crying. Why was Sebastian being so mean? Was it because Blaine was going to sing one of their songs? Was he jealous?

"No, and this one I want you to listen to very carefully. The idea of you and I together makes me physically ill. The image of you touching me is my most effective mailman, cock block, boner buster…whatever you want to call it. Do you understand?" Kurt was so shocked he couldn't answer. How did Sebastian know? "Ok then, I have to go help Nick woo Sugar. Oh, and Blaine will be singing a Klaine song there too. He's just going to reclaim them one by one until poof, they are no longer Klaine songs. Don't worry, I can show myself out. Tootles, Hummel."

What had just happened? Sebastian was so…well Sebastian, but he was so mean. He hadn't even been that mean all those months ago when he had called him Gayface. Wait…Oh, no…no, no, no…

And one of us has a hard luck case of the gay-face, and it ain't me. Odds are by the end of the school year, I'll have Blaine and a Nationals trophy, and you'll have khakis and a Lima Bean apron and that gay face.

He had done it. He was a year off, but that bastard had done it…Sebastian had Blaine, the Warblers were definitely good enough to win a Nationals trophy and it wasn't the Lima Bean but he would be working at Breadstix. How could he be so blind? He had let that…that…Meerkat ruin his relationship with his one true love, Blaine. Blaine, who would be singing Klaine songs at the Sugar Shack. The Sugar Shack where they had spent last Valentine's together. Where Blaine surprised him when he came back from having surgery. A surgery that he needed because of Sebastian. Kurt ran back upstairs to get his phone. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he knew the first thing that had to happen was to find where Nick planned whatever he was doing. He could listen to Blaine sing, and if he had to guess, Rachel would be there too. She had told him all along that he was still in love with Blaine. She'd know what to do.

The Wooing

Santana, Quinn, Rachel, Mercedes and Nichole pulled around to the back of the Motta's house to watch what had become known as The Wooing. When they got out of the car they were all blown away by what they saw, but each of them had very different responses.

"Shit like this is why I keep telling Blaine that I shouldn't know these people. This had to cost a fortune! But why are they doing this outside? It's fucking freezing out here." (Santana)

"Where did he get all of those pink roses on the day before Valentine's Day? There has to be hundreds of them." (Quinn)

"Is Sugar going to come out on the balcony? That will be so romantic." (Rachel)

"Even with the Warblers singing I expected the band, but how did they get a grand piano and 8-piece orchestra back here?" (Mercedes)

"My brother is a fucking idiot." (Nichole)

They continued to comment on what they saw, but stopped when they saw Blaine, Sebastian, Wes and David wave at them. Quinn and Wes had been in contact since New Year's Eve, and she had asked him to be her date for the wedding. Mercedes and David were talking as well, and it was clear that there was more going on there. But, what the hell was going on with Blaine?

"Um, does anyone know what's wrong with Blaine?" Rachel asked. "I've never seen him like that before. He looks…"

"…sexy as hell." Nichole finished the thought for her. "Hey, he may be gay and I may be dating one of his best friends, but I'm not blind."

Santana let out a semi-snort as the other girls began to nod their agreement "It's for Seb. That look of Blaine's makes him all tingly below the belt, and it's pretty obvious that he's not the only one." Her statement couldn't have been any truer as an uninvited guest had managed to sneak onto the property. Kurt hadn't liked Blaine's bad boy image at first but now he did. He really, really did.

As the participants finally got into place, Quinn asked "Does anyone know what Blaine is singing?"

"All I know is that it's something he sang to Kurt in the past and would be completely inappropriate if Nick wasn't using him as a human jukebox" Mercedes told her. Santana was not happy that Mercedes had known the answer and she didn't. Was Mercedes trying to infringe on her territory as Blaine's best girl? There was no way she could be his best gay or person I would be fucking if we were both straight. Ok, that last part was a cruel, but that was beside the point. After Sebastian, and maybe Sam, Blaine belonged to her and she was going to have to put an end to whatever was going on there. Fast!

"Oh, look. Brittany and Kitty just brought Sugar out to the balcony!" Rachel didn't know why she was so excited, but if it was the song she thought it was she had missed it last time.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Sugar had already begun to cry. Pink roses were her favorite and she loved when Blainey sang that song, but what was going on?

Kurt had already begun to cry. After Teenage Dream, this was his favorite song that Blaine had sung for him.

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me
Is this the place we used to love?
Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

Sugar couldn't help but smile as Puck and Mike came around the corner, holding a ladder which they propped up against the balcony.

Kurt couldn't help but smile as he remembered Blaine coming down the stairs at McKinley, staring at him with his big beautiful eyes while he sang.

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?
Somewhere only we know

(Some - where)

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Sugar jumped with joy as she saw Nick come around the corner and begin to climb the ladder.

Kurt jumped when he felt a tap on his shoulder and found Dmitri standing behind him.

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go somewhere only we know?

Somewhere only we know
Somewhere only we know

What Santana said about Mercedes was intentionally harsh for a reason that will be made clear soon. It was all about Santana's jealousy and nothing else.

The last part of this chapter is the prequel to the Sugar Shack 2.0 to be followed by the (yes, there will be one) Wedding. It is also the beginning of the inclusion of the requested songs. I am proud to say that I was able to get most of the requested songs into the next few chapters, although with some I had to be quite creative (like this one). And let it be said that fanfiction writers will suffer for their art. I listened to, and watched videos of, all of these songs. I will say listening to the Klaine songs was much easier than watching the performances.
