Chapter 5
Sebastian decided to go to Breadstixx with Blaine because it was the only good restaurant in Lima. "In Paris where I spent the summer, there is a five-star restaurant around every corner", the green-eyed boy just explained to Blaine and shook his head. They both ordered spaghetti with meatballs with Sebastian eyeing the dish skeptically. "That's what they call pasta? Stupid Americans. You should go to Europe, they know how to properly prepare an Italian dish", he scoffed. Blaine shrugged. "I think the pasta here is quite good", he said. Sebastian laughed. "Oh, Blaine, you don't know anything about the world out there. You really need an upgrade of your savoir-vivre. You're so naïve, it's endearing", he said and smirked. Blaine frowned. He didn't know whether it was a compliment or an insult. Suddenly, the glass of soda fell down and Blaine got sprayed in the process. Blaine jumped up and alarmingly looked down his now wet clothes. Sebastian amusedly looked to him. "These are just clothes, killer, no need to panic!", he smirked. Blaine shook his head. "Really expensive clothes! I will be right back!", he said and stormed to the next room he could find. He opened the door of the janitor's closet, entered, quickly shut the door and fell to the floor. "Great!", Blaine muttered as he looked down his mint green fishtail. He propped himself up with his elbows and started drying himself with his powers. But nothing happened. Blaine kept on drying his tail, but still nothing. He hissed when he accidently burned one of his scales and hurt himself. Why didn't his legs reappear? What was going on? Suddenly, he saw the doorknob was moving. Blaine's eyes widened. What was he going to do now? The door opened and Blaine steeled himself for the person's reaction. Sebastian's face came into view and he entered. Blaine gaped when Sebastian saw right through him as if he weren't there. "I swear I saw Blaine running into this room. Must have been a mistake", he muttered to himself, went out and closed the door again. Blaine blinked. What the hell was that? Here he was, laying on the floor as a merman and Sebastian didn't even acknowledge him. As if he was…Hold up. Blaine looked down his hand and gasped when he couldn't see it. He somehow turned invisible! Was that another power? Blaine shook his head. He really needed help now, so he retrieved his phone from his blazer and called the first person that came into his mind. "Hello, Blaine! How is the date going?", Kurt asked. "Kurt, something weird happened to me. I got spilled with soda and then I turned to a merman." The other boy laughed. "But that's nothing new, Blaine." "No, you don't understand. I tried to dry myself with my powers, but it doesn't work. I can't change back!" Blaine explained, sounding panicked. "Blaine, I need you to calm down, okay?", Kurt told his friend. "I can't calm down, Kurt! If I hadn't discovered my new ability, Sebastian would have seen me!", Blaine hissed. "Where are you now? I'm coming over and then we will get you out somehow.", Kurt said. "Breadstixx at the janitor's. And thank you, I really owe you.", the curly-haired boy sighed. "That's what friends are for, silly", Kurt laughed and hung up.
After what felt like an eternity to Blaine, the door opened again, and Kurt appeared on the doorway. He quickly shut the door behind him. "Blaine? Are you here?" , Blaine waved his hands and came into view. Kurt's eyes widened. "You can turn invisible? That's amazing!", he called out. Blaine shushed him. "Someone could hear us!", he whispered. "How do we get out without being seen?" "I've parked my car near the back exit. You can just turn invisible and I will somehow carry you to the car?", Kurt suggested. Blaine nodded. "Sounds like a plan. We can drive to my place, nobody's home anyway.", he said. Kurt took Blaine's hands. "I think I have to drag you out; your fin is quite heavy…", he said apologetically. "As long as you get me out of here, I don't care. But we have to hurry, my scales start itching." So Kurt dragged the now invisible Blaine out the door. He was almost at the back exit when someone called out his name. "Gay Face? What are you doing here?", Sebastian, who just left the toilet, asked Kurt. "That is none of your business, Smythe.", Kurt answered sharply. The taller boy eyed Kurt's seemingly weird posture. "Whatever. I don't care anyway. Have you seen Blaine? He just disappeared from our date.", he said, stressing the word date. Kurt rolled his eyes. He really disliked that guy. "I'm sorry, I haven't seen Blaine.", he answered, trying not to sound annoyed. Sebastian nodded. "Alright. I'm going to continue searching him. Have a good evening, Hummel princess". With that, he turned on his heel and walked away. "Oh man, that was close…", Blaine whispered. Kurt snorted. "I don't know why you even like that guy", he muttered. Blaine sighed. "Why do you and Sebastian hate each other?" Kurt shrugged. "Maybe we are just too different. But let's discuss that later when we got you out.", Kurt said and dragged him to the back exit.
The drive to Blaine's home was endlessly long, or so Blaine thought. His completely dry tail started to itch like hell and that didn't feel nice. When they arrived at Blaine's home, Kurt carried him to Blaine's bathroom and put him into the bathtub. Blaine was never so grateful for his spacious bathtub and flicked his tail contentedly when it was finally filled with enough water. Kurt sat down on a chair next to the tub, carefully avoiding the water. "And what are we going to do now?", he asked. Blaine shrugged. "I have no idea. Let's wait and hope for the best", he suggested. Kurt nodded. "It's not like we had another choice anyway.", he said. Both boys were startled by the doorbell ringing. Kurt frowned. "I thought your parents were on a business trip and your brother was in California?", he said. Blaine nodded. "Yes, and they all have their own keys. Who else could it be?" Kurt went downstairs, opened the door and gasped as he came face to face with Sebastian Smythe. "What are you doing here, Hummel?", Sebastian bewilderedly asked. "Blaine gave me his spare key", Kurt simply answered. "Is Blaine here? I couldn't find him at Breadstixx", Sebastian said. "No, he is not here, sorry, Sebastian", Kurt told him. Sebastian cocked his eyebrow. "And why are you here, then?", he asked, skeptical. "Well…I forgot one of my favorite scarves here, so I thought I could search it at Blaine's place. I always hang out at his' and I always leave my stuff here, so I gave it a try", Kurt lied smoothly. Sebastian still looked skeptical but seemed to buy the lie. He sighed. "Well, Blaine isn't here obviously. I will try to call him again. See you around, Hummel." With that, he left the porch, got into his car and left. Kurt relievedly sighed and went back up to the bathroom.
The boys spent the rest of the evening in the bathroom watching musicals on Blaine's iPad. They eventually fell asleep, Kurt on the chair and Blaine in the bathtub. In the morning, Kurt awoke when Blaine shook him. "What is it, Blaine?", he grumbled, still half asleep. "Come on, Kurt, wake up! I changed back!", Blaine said excitedly. Kurt's eyes flew open. He looked up to Blaine who was standing next to him with his legs. "That's great, Blaine!", Kurt beamed. Suddenly, Blaine seemed to remember something. "What am I going to do with Sebastian? I really like him, and I don't want to mess things up", he desperately said. "Just apologize, think of a believable lie and hope for the best", Kurt advised him. Blaine nodded. "Great idea. I don't know what I would do without you. You're the best best friend I ever had.", the curly-haired boy said and squeezed Kurt's hand. Kurt smiled faintly. He should be flattered, he really should. But why did these words hurt so bad instead?
Kurt was standing by his locker, nervously waiting for Blaine. Before school started, Blaine wanted to meet with Sebastian at the Lima Bean and apologize. Kurt sighed. Would it be selfish if he wished Sebastian wouldn't accept the apology? He was pulled out of his reverie when Blaine walked over to him with an unreadable expression on his face. "How did it go?", Kurt immediately asked. Blaine absentmindedly played with his green bow tie. "I told Sebastian I was so nervous on our first date I ran away. Then my phone died, and I couldn't call him back for a while. I apologized ten thousand times." "And what did he say?", Kurt asked. " He told me that he could understand me a little because he was a bit nervous as well. He seemed to buy everything. Sebastian said he really liked me and was ready to take the next step despite the incident of that weekend. He asked whether I wanted to be his boyfriend.", Blaine said. "And? What did you say?", Kurt asked him with eyes wide open. He hoped Blaine wasn't about to answer what he thought it was. "I said yes.", Blaine answered. "I still can't believe it. I'm in a relationship with Sebastian Smythe.", he murmured. Kurt felt faint all of a sudden. "That's amazing, Blaine! You and Sebastian, didn't see that one coming…I hope he makes you happy!", Kurt said earnestly and swallowed the big lump in his throat. 'Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry…', he thought to himself. Blaine, oblivious to his friend's unhappiness, beamed. "I'm glad you're supporting our relationship even though you don't really like Sebastian. Thank you for that!", he said happily and hugged Kurt. The other boy just nodded numbly. He had to be strong now.
When school was over and Kurt was finally at home, he ran upstairs to his room and curled up on his bed, finally allowing the tears to fall.
