Chapter 2 – Coffee Date

Saturday morning started like every other Saturday to Blaine except for one little thing, instead of texting Kurt he was texting Sebastian. Blaine usually got up between 7 - 8am on the weekend and he told Sebastian that he'd meet him at the Lima Bean at 9am, however due to the night Blaine had he slept in that was until he was woken by a text from Sebastian.

8:30am Saturday

Wakey, wakey sleepy head.

There we go; see that wasn't so hard now was it.

Good morning gorgeous, sleep well

Sebastian

Blaine couldn't help laughing at Sebastian's text, for some reason the guy knew how to make Blaine laugh and that worried him. What would Kurt say if he knew I was texting Sebastian, ha he wouldn't be saying anything he'd be giving me the silent treatment. Blaine laughed to himself before texting Sebastian back.

8:35am Saturday

Thanks for the wakeup call, but it's your fault for keeping me up all night with your endless amount of questions Although saying that I did have a good night's sleep, some of the things I was dreaming about… never mind about them.

Blaine didn't really know what he was doing, he remembered what Sebastian had done during Michael week but for some unknown reason he continued to talk to him. Maybe it was the way he always managed to make him blush, or perhaps it was the way Sebastian made him feel. Blaine knew the type of person that Sebastian was and he should have walked away months ago, but Sebastian made him feel something that he hadn't felt in years, excluding the Warblers, Sebastian made him feel wanted and appreciated. Sebastian made life exciting, he was a mystery and you didn't know what he was going to do next.

8:40am Saturday

Oh come on,that's not fair. I on the other hand dreamt about a certain curly haired ex-Warbler ;). As much as I like you texting me, you should probably be getting dressed; you've got 20 minutes before I deem you late ;).

Blaine laughed out loud as he read Sebastian's latest text; he was right though if Blaine didn't get moving he was going to be late. Blaine put his phone down on his desk and headed down the hall to the bathroom. He slowly got undressed and jumped in the shower; he grabbed his favourite shower gel, Black Suede Touch, and began washing his body and hair. As Blaine let the water drops trickle down his body he began thinking about what he was doing. Blaine already had a boyfriend who he loved, and despite what he had done Blaine was still talking to Sebastian. Maybe it was the uniform, or maybe it was that Sebastian seemed to be his only major link to the Warblers these days. Blaine knew that when Kurt eventually found out about all this he was going to be upset, scratch that, he was going to be pissed.

After what seemed like hours, Blaine turned off the shower and grabbed a towel to wrap around his waist before grabbing another towel to dry his hair. Once back in his room Blaine was shocked at the time on his alarm clock 9:01am Crap he spent 20 minutes in the shower, he thought it felt long. Scrambling to his wardrobe Blaine scanned the items and thought that since he was late stupid Sebastian he might as well make it worthwhile. Once dressed Blaine looked at himself in the mirror "Damn I look good", he said to his reflection. Now for the final touches, Blaine fixed his hair in what he hoped was a sexy way, he really had no idea. He was running low on hair gel and his mother said she was only buying him one jar per month, if he was to run out before than he would have to do without, and this terrified him. So now was a good as time as any to start changing it. He grabbed a pair of shoes from under his bed, grabbed his phone and did a double check in the mirror before rushing downstairs grabbing his keys and heading outside to his car.

By the time Blaine pulled up to the Lima Bean car park it was 9:45am. Way to be on time Blaine, if this was Kurt you'd be in trouble AGAIN. Lucky for him when he walked inside he straight away saw Sebastian at the back surrounded by food. Once Blaine was at Sebastian's table he saw that Sebastian had already demolished off some pancakes, toasted sandwiches, waffles, scrambled eggs and what looked like several muffins. Moving all the rubbish to the other side of the table, Blaine was about to sit down opposite the Warbler when Sebastian finally looked up. Sebastian couldn't help but stare. Blaine was wearing dark blue skin tight jeans that left nothing to the imagination, a white singlet underneath a blue and purple checked shirt with rolled up sleeves, several coloured bands around his right wrist and his watch on his left. He was wearing black and purple chucks, but it was his hair that really caught Sebastian's eye. You could barely see the gel in it, you could see each and every curl that was Blaine's hair and while said curls looked styled it looked as if one was able to run their fingers through it, which is just want he wanted to do. Blaine was forgiven for being late.

"Sorry I'm late, I lost track of the time", he said as he sat down.

Shaking his head trying to shake the images out of his mind Sebastian just waved his hand at Blaine saying he was forgiven and offering him some of his food. "Help yourself to anything you want. I was starving when I arrived." Blaine grabbed what he hoped was waffles. "I… Um…Ah…" for the first time in his life Sebastian was having trouble finding the right words to say, he finally settled with "You want some coffee?" before getting up and making his way to the counter, not even waiting for Blaine to reply. When he returned with two cups in his hand Sebastian had regained his posture. "Here you go, Blaine meet your best friend of the morning." He said laughing while handing Blaine the cup. Sebastian took a sip from his own coffee before getting into the reason why he asked Blaine here in the first place.

"You're probably wondering why I asked you here."

"The thought may have crossed my mind."

"I could have texted you this last night, but I thought why pass up an opportunity to see that ass of yours." Sebastian gave his famous smirk as he saw Blaine blush. "Anyway the thing is, the guys really miss you and they won't shut up about it. We are having a Warbler party tonight at Jeff's house and they want me to invite you, as a friend and former Warbler. As Jeff says; once a Warbler, always a Warbler."

"Look Sebastian, I would love to but Kurt asked me last night to go with him for a sleepover at Rachel's." Why did I agree to that, they're just going to talk about NADA all night?

"No problem just thought I'd ask, and you know if your evening doesn't pan out you are always welcome to join us." He winked as he got up and left, leaving Blaine to muse over his thoughts.

"Oh my gosh, I just thought of the most perfect song choice for us to sing at our audition." Kurt squealed to Rachel.

"For Good." They shouted at the same time.

They had been talking about what songs to sing for the past 3 hours, during that time Blaine had been lying on Rachel's bed flipping through magazines. Neither of them had even acknowledged that he was even in the room; he might as well not be for all the good he was. He was wondering if he should take Sebastian up on his offer and go have some actual fun, no wonder why Finn had optioned out to go sleepover at Puck's. "You know you're going to have to pick one of those." Blaine stated as he threw the last magazine on the floor. "Say it's getting late, when's dinner?"

"It's only 7pm." Rachel said looking at her star clock on the wall.

"Besides, how can you be thinking about food at a time like this?" Kurt cried out at him.

"I'm sorry but I'm getting hungry."

"We'll order some pizza once we've chosen what song we'll do for our audition." Rachel told him calmly as she once again turned her attention to the task at hand.

Half an hour later Blaine's stomach was starting to do summersaults and he couldn't take it any longer. Since finishing the magazines he had taken to counting the stars on Rachel's celling. I should have taken Sebastian's invitation, doing chores is more fun than this. No wonder why Finn didn't come, if he did at least I wouldn't have been so bored. Their still going on about it, for crying out loud just do wicked and get it over with. At least it sounds amazing when they perform it, nothing can top that duet. The clock now read 7:45pm. "Seriously guys my stomachs growling."

"Gez Blaine, I didn't know that you were such a whiner." Kurt all but grumbled at him.

"I've told you before; I get grouchy when I'm hungry."

Rachel moved to grab her phone so she could call the pizza delivery. "What would you like?"

"Vegetarian."

"Hawaiian."

"Vegetarian and Hawaiian it is." She was about to call the number when Kurt interrupted.

"We only need one pizza; I'm not that hungry so just Vegetarian."

Blaine couldn't take it anymore, sure it wasn't like him to just get up and leave, but if he don't he was going to hit his boyfriend. He loved him and all but enough was enough, he's kept his mouth shut long enough. "I'm sorry, what? You know I only like Hawaiian."

"And Rachel is a vegetarian, or did you forget."

"You know what, it doesn't matter." He turned to Rachel. "Thank you for inviting me to your house tonight but I think I'm going to go and I seriously suggest you do For Good for your audition." Turning back to Kurt he added. "If you want me I will probably end up at Scandals at some point." He picked up his bag and made his way to his car; he sent a quick text to Sebastian before driving away.

It took him an hour and a half to drive from Lima to Jeff's house. When he pulled up to the house he saw Sebastian standing outside waiting for him. "Glad you could make it." He said while handing a cup of vodka to Blaine and led him inside. Blaine could see all his old friends dancing, singing and drinking in the Jefferson's living room. He never realised just how much he missed them, they weren't just his friends, they were his family, and he walked away from them without a second thought. I don't deserve friends like them after all the things I've done Blaine bitterly thought to himself as Trent came up to him giving him a great big bear hug.

"We've missed you", he said as he let Blaine go. He then turned to Sebastian. "We owe you for getting him to come, maybe there's hope for you yet Smythe."

"You can start by getting us refills", he smiled at Trent who had to blink several times before he believed that Sebastian had actually just smiled. "Just this once", he said before taking their cups and leaving in search for more alcohol.

"I can't believe you actually got him to get you a refill, Trent never gets refills." Blaine told him while moving further into the living room.

The Jefferson's living room was as big as the school's cafeteria, they weren't rich but they were wealthy. Blaine could see Jeff's youngest brother Justin trying to steal his brothers drink, while said brother was challenging David and Cole Dawson, who he thinks is a senior, to a dance off with him and his brother Joseph; which they accepted. They were dancing to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem when Blaine had an idea.

"You should challenge Jeff to a dance off; you could really give him a run for his money. Literally, one of the things about the Warblers is that no matter what the subject is the guys are always making bets."

"Really, you think I could win," he said while giving Blaine his famous smirk.

"That is one bet I'd love to find out." Walking away from Sebastian, Blaine made his way over to where Justin was, who had successfully managed to steal Jeff's drink. "Now what would your parents say to you underage drinking?"

"Don't forget to leave a tip," he said before sighing and handing Blaine the cup and going to watch David and Cole loose.

"How did you do that?" Sebastian asked as he took the cup from Blaine and drank its contents.

"Family," was all he said as he went off in search for Trent, who either couldn't find them or had forgotten. He spotted Trent sitting at one of the kitchens bar stools. It appeared that they had turned the Jefferson's kitchen into a make shift bar. "What happened to you?" he said smiling at his friend, he knew Trent would only complete half his task before getting distracted.

"Hi," he said turning to face Blaine with a grin. "I got the refills, but then John asked me to try his new recipe. Want some?" He handed them both a glass and watched as they drank them.

"Wow, that's strong. What's in it?" Sebastian asked the beat boxer.

"Mainly vodka with some tequila and cinnamon and for the record, he offered." He said pointing at Trent.

"Do you see anyone else offering to try your drinks? No, so there you go."

Blaine couldn't help but laugh at his friends, god how he missed this. He had forgotten how most warbler parties ended up. He couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of just how much he was missing out. The trouble was, even if he and Kurt were invited Kurt didn't like the whole 'alcohol' scene very much, it just wasn't him; and Blaine being the good boyfriend that he was, stood by Kurt's decision.

"…And Blaine wears women's underwear."

"What?"

"Ah, so he is home." Sebastian smiled at him. Sebastian saw the look in Blaine's eyes as he once again fell into his thoughts. On a mission to make Blaine smile again, he grabbed his hand and led Blaine back into the living room to dance. All of which hadn't gone unnoticed by the two Warblers in the kitchen.

Roughly 2 hours later found Blaine and Sebastian outside trying to get some fresh air. As he usually did after a Warbler party, Sebastian wanted to go to Scandals. "Come on, it'll be fun. Besides didn't you say that's where you told Lady Hummel you would be?"

"We can't just leave, that'll be rude."

"Wait here." Sebastian disappeared inside and returned 5 minutes later. "Let's go." He said as he led the way down the street. Unknown to the two boys Jeff, Nick, Trent and David watched them from the living room window all with cheeky grins on their faces, they were up to something.

After Blaine had left Kurt and Rachel spent the next 2½ hours talking and singing songs for their NADA audition, they were seriously beginning to take Blaine's suggestion and do 'For Good'. They decided to split since their night hadn't gone to plan. Rachel went to the movies with Finn and Puck after calling them, and Kurt decided he would go to Scandals in search of Blaine.

It was already 10:15pm when Kurt arrived at Scandals, with one quick sweep he realised Blaine wasn't there. As he turned to leave Kurt saw someone he recognised, at the far end of the bar Kurt saw Dave Karofsky. He decided he would go and see how he was; he hadn't seen him since the last time he was there. "Can I join you?" he asked before sitting down next to him anyway.

Looking up Karofsky was shocked to see Kurt. "What are you doing here?"

"I was looking for Blaine; he said he'd be here. You haven't seen him by any chance have you."

"Sorry no. Wait why would he be here without you?"

Kurt told him the events of that evening, off how Blaine had just stormed off out of the house. The two spent the next 40 minutes or so catching up on each other's lives, Kurt never really knew Karofsky that well due to the whole bullying thing but now it seemed that he actually enjoyed the other boys company, he was easy to talk to. It was around 11:00pm when Kurt finally spotted Blaine, he was in the middle of the dance floor but it was who he was with that got him annoyed, "SEBASTIAN" was all he growled as he got up leaving Karofsky confused.

Kurt walked through the crowed to Blaine grabbed him by the arm and led him outside so they could talk without having to shout over all the noise and music. "What on Gaga's earth are you doing here with that criminal chipmunk?"

"His NAME is SEBASTIAN. How about what are you doing here with Kar…Karofsky?" Blaine shouted as he swayed a little.

"I asked you first, but if you must know I ran into him while looking for you."

"I was… I was at a Warb… Warbler party, I don't want to talk any more, I want to go dance." Blaine was about to turn around and go back inside when Kurt grabbed his arm turning him back around to face him.

"What's with you tonight, first at Rachel's then now? What's wrong?"

"You! I didn't want to go to Rachel's in the first place, this is the first weekend my par…parents have gone away in months. I was hoping to have a bit of down time, I want to go out and do something FUN. I'm sick and tired of doing whatever it is that you want to do, we never do anything I like."

"Your idea of fun is drinking until you pass out, no thank you."

"I only do that when I'm upset or frustrated, which is happening more often."

"If you didn't want to come then WHY didn't you say so?"

"Because if I did you would get angry at me, and we'll end up not talking to each other until I apologised EVEN IF IT'S NOT MY FULT." He shouted even louder. It was then when Sebastian came outside; he had been standing on the other side of the door until he heard Blaine shouting.

"What's going on?" he asked no one in particular.

"Stay out of this meerkat."

"He can stay if he wants; you're not the boss of him."

Kurt for his part looked hurt; he really couldn't understand why Blaine was so upset. One thing was for sure though, there was no way he was going to continue trying to talk to him when he could barely stand and would no doubt not remember what he said any way. "I'm going to go say goodbye to Dave and then I'm taking you home."

"What makes you… you think I want to go home, or anywhere with you." He spat as he started walking off in the direction of his house, leaving Sebastian and Kurt behind him.

Sighing Kurt turned to go inside with silent tears running down his checks, he didn't want to deal with Blaine right now and clearly Blaine didn't want to be anywhere near him. How did things get this bad in one night? They've had arguments before, mainly after their last visit to Scandals and about his new found friendship with his ex-bully. Some part of him wanted to make sure that Blaine got home safely, but that thought left him when he saw Karofsky waving at him. At least this night wasn't a total waste.

As he watched Kurt leave Sebastian couldn't believe what he had heard and made a mental note to ask the guys what Blaine's deal was, when drunk he clearly let his emotions fly and wondered if it was a regular occurrence. When he looked up he could see Blaine in the far distance stumbling along the footpath, he was going to hurt himself with the way he was going. It was then that Sebastian made a new promise to Blaine; he was going to be a better friend and help him with his boyfriend issues, even though it went against every fibre of his being. First things first, he had to catch up with Blaine and make sure he got home safely. As he ran to catch up with Blaine something crossed his mind Lady Face was right, what is up with Blaine Anderson?
