I was settled into Sebastian's car; head rested against the window and my feet propped on the seat causing my knees to make an upside down V shape. Sebastian's car had a particular smell I was fond of, I know that's an odd thing to say but it was quite mesmerizing. No, it didn't smell like Sebastian; but you could smell that he had been in here, it was almost as though a mixture of fresh Hawaiian beach water and smelly lacrosse play; that part probably being the taller boys fault.

"Why did you and Blaine fight?" It was such a simple question yet the answer was so important. Did Blaine hit Sebastian too? Was Blaine cheating on me with him? I sure hope not because that would be one hell of a bummer.

"I figured I'd back you up, it wasn't all too hard to figure out what beautiful boy Blainey had been doing to you. Besides, if e's going to do the crime, he might as well be better at hiding it."

That was his answer but Kurt heard right past it; words yelling 'I was trying to protect you' filled his ears. "I don't need you to protect me."

A smirk spread across his face like Nutella on wheat bread. "Debatable princess."

I shook my head in mock disappointment. "What even is this name?"

"What princess?" He turned to look at me, taking his eyes off the road for a quick second. "Well Cinderfella, it fits you."

"You saying I look like a girl?" I smiled, faking being hurt by the comment.

That caused him to burst into short laughs and chuckles. "You said it not me."

I gave up and leaned back against the crook between the seat and the door. Comfortable silence surrounded us and I couldn't help but gain curiosity about the life Sebastian had that I wasn't a part of. "What was Paris like?"

He smiled again obviously happy to tell me of this story, or maybe happy of the memories that came with it. "You shouldn't ask things you don't want the answer to."

"That bad huh?" I asked sarcastically.

"That bad." He laughed.

I took a deep breath before deciding to not go out without a fight. "Come on… don't be such a pussy Seb, just tell me."

He didn't say anything just looked back at me with that same stupid smile hung on his face. "I fucked a lot of guys, most of them are nameless, and the rest are faceless."

"Must have been fun." I shrugged.

He let out a breath. "You tell me, I mean you do the same thing right?"

"Seb don't do that."

"Okay, we don't have to talk about it, were leaving that fucking place for tonight anyway."

It was only then that I noticed we weren't in Ohio, I mean I had seen the sign saying "Welcome to Pennsylvania" but I had paid it absolutely no mind. And once again we were silent… I will however say it was a silence I was fond of; I mean usually I was quite fond of silence. Loud words were usually Blaine's yelling or Rachel's rants about sectional song, or Tina's 'no one cares about me' rambling. But oh so soon it was once again cut off by my curiosity; this time having to do with something I had paid no attention to until this very moment, and that kind of shocked me.

"Seb what is this?"

He took his eyes off the road. "Hmm?"

"I mean, like us… are we like, I don't know friends or am I just your pity party, or…" My voice died out a bit.

He let out an 'uhh' and turned back to the road as if he were thinking of the right thing to say. "I'm here to protect you, I mean that's what I did before, and it's what I will always do. No need for some fancy title, titles are for babies.

I smiled brightly because I knew Sebastian would be there for me, if or when I need him, even when I look like this. "Thanks Seb, really thank you."

"Anything for you princess."


3rd POV

"Kurt, eat it." Sebastian knew after Kurt starving himself for so long that scarfing down all the food in front of him wouldn't be healthy; but Kurt hadn't even touched the food. Sebastian wasn't Blaine, he didn't want people he cared about to look like a skeletal system.

"Sorry, I'm just thinking about Blaine and…" Kurt voice trailed off and he doesn't even want to think about how Blaine will feel about him gaining weight. When someone as tiny as Kurt begins to eat, it doesn't take long to see changes, and boy was Kurt aware of that.

Sebastian roughly took his hand taking Kurt by surprise. "Kurt look at me," Which Kurt did. "I am not Blaine, and I will never be Blaine ok. I might be the biggest asshole in the world, but I won't do harm to the project of an even bigger asshole." He pushed the plate in front of Kurt's face. "Eat the fucking food."

Kurt nodded and grabbed the fork taking small bites and struggling to swallow them with Sebastian watching attentively on him. "You know I don't even think it matters," He swallowed finally. "Blaine said he was going to try and leave me alone, he said I kept letting him do the things he did to me." I laughed bitterly thinking about the ridiculousness of it all. "God I'm such an idiot; Blaine was way out of my league to begin with."

"Why do you always do that, why do you always put yourself down?"

Kurt thought for a minute not really knowing if he should even answer to this question. "Because if I tell myself I do everything right, I'll get everything wrong I guess."

Sebastian gulped because he couldn't even believe what he was about to say. "Kurt you're beautiful, and not just street looks, like you need to be on the cover of a magazine beautiful, but this," Pointing to Kurt. "This isn't Kurt, this is something less beautiful, it's scarred, and in a way it's the best kind of art, but scars always look better when they heal."

Kurt shook his head. "Thanks but, you don't really get it."

"Maybe I wasn't supposed to."


Sebastian's POV

It took Kurt 3 minutes and 52 seconds to fall asleep after dinner. He hadn't eaten much of it, about a quarter of the steak and half of the already sparse mashed potatoes; but it was something, and that's all I wanted.

When he finally did wake up the first thing I heard was the boys high pitched scream from beside me. "SEB! ARE WE… ARE WE IN NEW YORK?"

I laughed loudly shushing him at the same time. "Calm down princess, let me show you where we're staying."

New York definitely ad some original features like the packed city, and the tight streets full of stores and family coffee shops. I remember my first time here, my dad wanted me off his chest so me and my nanny at the time (I was 15 by the way) took the trip up here; it was a good time to say the least, but more importantly it was an escape, and that's what I wanted with Kurt.

I pulled into the familiar apartment complex, though I would never really call this mansion sized home and apartment. I swear the moment my parents made their first million they went ballistic and bought anything in sight, including this oversized bedroom that they would never visit but still pushed out the pocket change to keep it running.

Kurt's eye lit up like a Christmas tree and stared at it in awe. I have to be honest, I had been rich practically all my life, and some of my parents' homes still amazed me; this on included. The complex was made completely of glass and when you walked in you were greeted with a gentlemen in an overpriced suit with a genuinely happy smile on his face. The spiral stairs were almost glued with decor and unnecessary diamonds here and there. The rooms were even more fantastic; the tiles purified white and orange silk covering the bed attached to the wall in the corner. The kitchen had updated appliances and stuff I still had no idea how to use, and a closet the size of the average master bedroom which produced a loud squeal from Kurt.

"What the hell do your parents do for a living?" He asked with his mouth hung open.

"I honestly have no idea." I smiled at him. "Come on, were going out."

"No clubbing please."

I chuckled. "Come on princess you know me better than that."


Yes I did in fact invite an 80 pound prostitute to go to a carnival with me and I have absolutely no regrets. Honestly you can't see much of a sickness in Kurt with the tick layers he wore. I mean yes, to anyone who even somewhat knew him could easily see a difference, but none of these people even knew his first initial; there was no judge mental looks or disapproving stares.

I lost track of exactly how many rides we rode that night, but I know it had been a while since I had seen Kurt smile so much, if ever. That should make me happy but instead it made my blood boil, how could any heartless bastard put someone through such horrible things? And I swear if I could rip Blaine's head from his neck it if meant Kurt would be less likely to be hurt, but I know that would hurt him.

This whole time I had been calling Kurt a coward when I hadn't even processed how brave he actually was, but what do you do when you come from a world of nothing? How do you pick it back up?


Kurt's POV

I hadn't smiled this much in such a long time I forgot what happiness felt like. I was on cloud nine, cloud 700 if there was one, and to end this perfectly day perfectly I was now on Sebastian's apartment (mansion) wrapped in silk and drinking tea. I hadn't even asked how many calories were in it or even thought about the consequences that followed when the high dropped. This was heaven.

"You cold?" Sebastian asked from behind me holding another blanket in his hands.

I looked back and smiled at him. "No, thank you." I turned back to face the city below me. "God it's perfect here."

"Then," He sits. "You should come here, you know for college and all."

I hadn't put much though into college, I needed to be where Blaine was, and he was stuck in Ohio for another year, besides he had missed the winter deadlines. "I think I need to stay in Ohio."

"You know what I think?" He leans over so our faces are inches apart. "I think that's bullshit." And before I could even laugh he connected our lips quickly before pulling away and smiling.

It had no significance except a reassurance of 'don't disagree with me, I'm right.' Whether or not he was I didn't know… but this was what whole felt like. And whole was a Sebastian thing.
