"Okay everyone, settle down." Blaine said as he and Rachel entered the choir room.
"We'd like to congratulate everyone as all of you did great in your first assignment last week. Let's clap everyone!" Rachel said while clapping her hands and everyone joined her. "Also we would like to make an announcement." Rachel point to look at Blaine, signaling to tell the announcement.
"Good news, we're qualified to compete at sectionals!" Blaine happily said "So this week we're going to start some practice and we're open for some suggestion for the set-list for sectionals."
"Tomorrow we will be informed if who will be up against us." Rachel added.
"Is everyone excited?" Blaine asked, everyone just responded a loud "YES!" and a cheer.
Blaine and Rachel was glad enough that the Lima Bean wasn't really crowded on a Friday afternoon, both of them decided to hang out at Lima Bean and to discuss the upcoming Sectionals. Blaine was waiting on the line for their order as Rachel found a good table for them near by the window and she sits down waving at Blaine. She took out some papers and starts to review some potential set-list for Sectionals.
"So here's your coffee." Blaine approached at their table, sitting across her. Blaine took a glimpse on the papers that Rachel was reading. "Do you have anything in mind yet?" Blaine referred at the set-list.
"Maybe we can have some classic songs maybe from the 50s or the 60s. What do you think?" Rachel looking at Blaine while he eats his biscotti.
"I think that's a great idea." He nods and looks up to Rachel. "We can also add some Sinatra tunes like-'Just one of those things'." Blaine sang then he winked at her and Rachel giggled. She tucked a hair behind her ear.
"Isn't this young Barbra Streisand and gay Cyclops?" a familiar voice behind Blaine. "Hi Sebastian." Blaine looked up to see Sebastian Smythe now standing beside their table and he grabs a chair to sit with them.
"I thought you guys conquered New York City already. What are you doing here?" Sebastian asked looking at Blaine then at Rachel. "Well, the fate has changed." Rachel replied and Blaine nods "As you know, New Directions has disbanded a year ago, Rachel here got the role of Fanny Brice in 'Funny Girl' on Broadway-"
"I heard that Blaine. Let's get to the point why you ended up here." Sebastian said as he pats Blaine's shoulder. "Oh yeah. Rachel got a TV show but suddenly it was cancelled and then I convinced her to go back here to bring the glee club back and so on." Blaine continued to explain. Sebastian just nodded as he listens to Blaine.
"So what about you? Aren't you in college now?" Rachel asked turning to face Sebastian. "I'm actually in my first year of college." Sebastian replied. "What are you taking?" Blaine turned to ask. "Pre-law at Stanford." Sebastian said with confidence and he takes a sip of his coffee. "Just following my Dad's foot-steps." He added.
Sebastian's dad has been a state attorney for several years. His dad wants him to become a lawyer in the future, since he was born his dad kept on calling him as "My future lawyer son". After he graduated at Dalton Academy and then he got accepted in Stanford his dad couldn't be more happier. Sebastian was glad enough for the courage and support he got from his parents.
"Then what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be In school?" Blaine asked. "Well, my dad got into hospital for emergency health reasons. But he's okay now and he's already scheduled to be out in the hospital on Sunday." Sebastian said.
A hour has passed by and the rain starts to pour. Blaine and Rachel got to admit they enjoyed having some conversations with Sebastian. From serious talks to jokes, they were really having fun at each other's company.
"Time flies when you're having fun and it's starting to rain. I hate to say this but I had fun hanging out with you guys." Sebastian said as he stood up. Blaine playfully punch him in the arm, "Nah, you really like hanging out with us, just admit it!" Blaine and Rachel starts to laugh.
"Yeah. Yeah. So anyways, I have to go and if you're already going I can give you guys a ride home." Sebastian offered and Blaine turned to Rachel, she just gave him a nod signaling to say 'Yes' at Sebastian's offer.
"Sure! Thanks for the offer Seb." Blaine said as he stood up and Rachel follows, "It's already raining and we haven't brought a car, so we'd like to take your offer."
"Okay, So shall we?" Sebastian said smiling at them.
They dropped Rachel first in her house. As Rachel walks into her driveway she looks back to the car and waved goodbye to them.
"Thanks for the ride Seb! I'll see you tomorrow Blaine!"
"See ya! Take care Rachel!" Blaine shouted. "See you around pretty girl!" Sebastian shouted then both of them waved goodbye to Rachel.
The ride on the way to Blaine's house was silent and out of the blue Sebastian said, "I heard you and Kurt broke up."
"Well, some things are just not going the way you planned it." said Blaine who was now staring out the window. "Sorry to hear that man." Sebastian pats his arm.
"It's okay. It was a mutual decision."
'Mutual decision' that was one of the reasons why Blaine is slightly comfortable at the topic. It was a few months later when Blaine transferred back to their loft, Rachel gone to L.A. for her TV show and it was Kurt and Blaine alone. A big fight about their trust issues and now Kurt got an opportunity at Paris that was then both of them decided to end their relationship and ended up being good friends. Blaine loved Kurt, he was his first, his love for Kurt was his reason that he supported Kurt to accept the opportunity in Paris. Kurt was grateful for Blaine's support even though they have broken up.
Sebastian pulled into Blaine's driveway and Blaine got out from the car.
"Thanks for the ride Smythe." Blaine said
"No problem Blaine Warbler. Let's hang out again sometime with or without Berry." Sebastian winked at him. "Good luck on running the glee club with Rachel!" Sebastian shouted as he pulled out in Blaine's driveway.
Blaine just laughed and he turns to walk to his house, hands on his neck as he shook his head.
"Sectionals here we come."
