A/N: Hey guys! Here's a rather bittersweet chapter. I'm sure you guys heard about the news. It's sad, but I hope this will at least distract you guys. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

Warnings: Mild language, Sebastian's dirty mind (nothing too bad though)

Blaine sat down in his usual chair in Glee Club. Not everybody was there yet, so he decided to pull out his phone and play a game for a while.

Sebastian: Blaine, answer me. Please.

Blaine ignored the text. Sebastian had been trying to contact him for the past three days since their fight. Blaine wasn't exactly mad at him anymore, but he still didn't want to talk to him.

"All right guys, Sadie Hawkins is in four days so I hope you guys are ready," Mr. Schue said. Blaine looked up and realized that the rest of the New Directions arrived. "I hope you all memorized your songs because-"

"Wait," Blaine interjected, trying to think. "It's in four days?"

"Uh, yes, Blaine. It is," Mr. Schue answered, somewhat surprised Blaine didn't know.

"But-but that's impossible! Tina only started planning this, like, yesterday!" Blaine looked at Mr. Schue doubtfully, thinking that he was probably making a joke. Everyone else in the room either exchanged confused glances or stared at Blaine like he was an idiot.

"No, Blaine, it's been quite a while now," Mr. Schue replied, his hands on his hips. "So anyways..."

Four days? How could Sadie Hawkins only be four days away? I haven't even found a replacement for Sebastian yet...

"Blaine," Sam whispered to Blaine, interrupting his train of thought, "I think I know how the Warblers cheated."

"Sam, for the last time, they did not cheat," Blaine said.

"No, dude, look!" Sam grabbed a plethora a photos out of his bag, all of which were of the Warblers. "Look at these! Look at their heads! Oh, and look at Hunter's! This one's from last year, and this one's from this year. See the difference? His face just went, like, bam! It's huge!"

"Sam, it's called growing up," Blaine really did not like it when Sam snooped around. He became...obsessive. "Where did you get these pictures anyway?"

"No! Artie said that gaining that much bone mass or something that quickly isn't natural!" Sam added, clearly ignoring the last comment. "He said, uh, that you can only grow that much with, uh, H...H," Sam tilted his head back and closed his eyes, trying to remember what Artie told him. "HPV? Yeah, I think it was that. HPV. It's this drug that makes people grow, like, woosh!" Sam placed his hands in front of them, then spread them apart, trying to illustrate Hunter's head growth.

HPV? Isn't that some sort of STD? Blaine ignored Sam for a second, trying to find the connection between bone growth and STD's. "Wait, Sam, are you sure you don't mean HGH?"

Sam stopped and looked at Blaine quizzically. "Um, yeah, that. So anyways, I also found this video online of Hunter and look!"

Sam was about to play the video when Sugar yelled out, "Spy!" Sam and Blaine looked up to find a certain green-eyed Warbler slowly step into the choir room, his head tilted down and hands stuck in his pockets. Sam pushed the photos on his lap back into his bag, but some ended up on the floor, earning Sam a few suspicious looks from his fellow New Directions. Luckily, Sebastian hadn't seen any of the photos before Sam picked them all up and put them away.

Mr. Schue turned to face Sebastian. "Sebastian, what are you doing here?"

Sebastian looked up at Blaine. "I need to talk to Blaine," he told Mr. Schue without looking at him.

"Well, we're kind of practicing right now so you'll have to talk to him after-"

"No, Mr. Schue. It's okay," Blaine stood up quickly and started heading out of the choir room, "It won't be that long."

"Well, um, okay," Mr. Schue replied, somewhat confused.

Sebastian followed Blaine out, closing the door behind him. They walked a small distance away from the choir room to make sure no one would listen in on their conversation. Blaine crossed his hands, waiting for Sebastian to say something. He seemed fidgety and tense, unlike his usual laid-back and flirty personality. He refused to look Blaine in his eyes.

"Blaine..." Sebastian murmured. He looked back, but Blaine didn't know if it was because he was making sure no one was trying to eavesdrop on them, or if was just because he was that nervous. "I...I'm sorry."

"About what?" Blaine realized he was being slightly cruel, but it wasn't very different from what Sebastian did to him in the past.

Sebastian glanced at Blaine's eyes, but quickly averted his vision elsewhere. "You know..."

"Know what?" Blaine said sternly, his arms still crossed.

"The whole going behind you're back thing..."

"And?" Blaine wanted a real apology, not a half-apology that meant absolutely nothing.

Sebastian threw his hands halfway into the air and finally looked at Blaine, his mouth agape, "Wh-What do you want me to say!? I-I-I'm sorry, okay!? I-I'm sorry for going behind you're back a-and-" Sebastian's voice began to crack. He put one hand over eyes his eyes, the other resting on his hip.

Blaine watched Sebastian hold back his tears. He tried his best to hide it, but it was far too obvious. Did I go to far? "O-Okay Sebastian. It's fine." Blaine tried to sound normal, but even his voice became somewhat shaky.

"No it's not!" Sebastian threw his hand down, uncovering his now watery eyes. "I-I never meant to-to hurt you, Blaine! I-I-I-"

"Seb! It's okay! Really," Blaine approached Sebastian and put his hands on his shoulders. Blaine gazed deeply into his eyes, but Sebastian seemed to be searching for something in his. It didn't take long for Blaine to realize that Sebastian was slightly shivering, his breaths unsteady. What happened to him? "It's alright."

The couple just stood there, staring into each other's eyes. He looks so...vulnerable. Is this even Sebastian? If I wanted to, I could just lean in-

"Hey!" The choir room door swung wide open. Kitty leaned out. "Mr. Schue wants you. Hurry it up."

"Who?" Blaine reluctantly diverted his attention from Sebastian to pay attention to Kitty.

Kitty's nose scrunched up and her eyebrows were brought closer together as she shook her head. "Who do you think, Gay-ty Perry? Hurry. Up." Kitty swung her head and headed back into the choir room, leaving the two alone again.

Blaine darted his eyes back and forth between the choir room and Sebastian, who wasn't looking at Blaine anymore. "I-I have to go." Blaine took his hands off Sebastian's shoulders and started for the choir room.

"Wait," Sebastian grabbed Blaine's arm, his voice still faltering. "Do you forgive me?"

"What?" Blaine knew exactly what he had said, but it was odd to actually hear the words come out of his mouth.

"Do you forgive me?" Sebastian spoke very softly. Most of what came out of his mouth was air, not words.

"Y-Yeah," Blaine hesitantly said. "Yes. I forgive you."

"Then meet me at the Lima Bean," Sebastian seemed to regain his voice, but he still hasn't fully recovered it, "after school."

"O-Of course."

Sebastian slowly let go of Blaine's arm. "Good."

Blaine stayed with Sebastian a bit longer. Neither of them changed their positions. I don't wanna leave...

Blaine heard the choir door open again and turned around. This time, however, Ryder appeared. "Hey guys, don't mean to burst your bubble, but Mr. Schue really needs you back in here."

"I'll be there," Blaine called out to him. Ryder headed back into the choir room, closing the door on his way in. Blaine turned back to Sebastian. "I-I have to go. So, Lima Bean after school?"

"Yeah," Sebastian replied, his voice almost normal now.

"Okay. Bye," Blaine started walking away from Sebastian, but he didn't turn away from him. They kept eye contact until Blaine opened the door and disappeared into the choir room. He walked to his normal chair and sat down, staring at the ground while thinking of Sebastian.

"Everything okay?" Tina leaned forward a bit so she could be on eye level with Blaine, who was slouching.

Blaine looked back at Tina, "Uh, yeah." He looked back at the ground blankly, already starting to regret leaving Sebastian alone in the hall.

"Blaine!" Sebastian called out when he saw Blaine walk into the Lima Bean. Sebastian flashed a smile at him, and Blaine did the exact same thing back. Sebastian stood up from his chair and walked over to him. "Hey."

"Hey, Sebastian," Blaine fell in line and took out his wallet. "Let me just order my coffee first, and-"

"Don't worry," Sebastian raised one of his arms, and Blaine noticed that he was holding two coffees, one in each hand. "Already ordered yours."

"You know my coffee order?" Blaine took the coffee and took a sip. He does know my coffee order.

"Yeah. Why? Is that weird?"

"Uh, no. Let's sit at a table," Blaine signaled his hand toward the table Sebastian was sitting at earlier. Another person, however, had already taken their place. "Okay, let's uh...Do you want to walk around, maybe?" Blaine started slowly walking out of the Lima Bean.

"Sure," Sebastian grinned and walked out of the Lima Bean, and into the Lima mall. The two walked around casually, passing various stores. "So how are things?"

"Oh, you know, the usual," Sebastian chuckled at Blaine. "What?"

"Oh, nothing," Sebastian said, expecting Blaine to elaborate on the usual a bit more.

"Well, Sadie Hawkins is in four days actually," Blaine got the message and took a sip of his coffee.

"So, are we still going?" Sebastian asked, his voice brimming with hope. He really did want to go with Blaine.

"Oh, yeah, sure," Blaine replied, unsure if he should go with Sebastian or not. Why not? Sebastian doesn't seem like a bad choice. "Yeah, we're going together," Blaine added, now more confident in his answer.

"And what did Kurt have to say about that?" Sebastian added.

Blaine started to panic. He hadn't even thought about what Kurt would do. If Kurt couldn't even handle me talking to Sebastian, how would he react to a date with him? Wait, no, this isn't a date. Not a date. Just to get away from Tina. Not a date. Not a date. NOT. A. DATE. BLAINE ANDERSON, LISTEN TO ME. Blaine repeated to himself over and over in his mind that Sebastian was just a friend, never anything more. I love Kurt. Only Kurt. Never Sebastian...I think...GAH! Blaine argued with himself in his mind forever, aimlessly walking forward.

"Uh, Blaine? Still there?" Sebastian waved a hand over Blaine's face, snapping him out of his reverie.

"What?" Blaine accidentally yelled it out, gaining a few odd glances from the passing pedestrians. Blaine looked passed Sebastian to check the crowd's reaction. Once he thought the commotion died down, he looked up at Sebastian. "Um, don't worry about Kurt. We're through anyway." Blaine waved his hand over his own face.

"Okay, sure," Sebastian said, a hint of curiosity in his voice. He looked at Blaine quizzically, but brushed his suspicions off. The couple continued walking. "So anyways, the Warblers are planning to do more modern songs, a big mistake in my opinion. I don't even think Hunter knows what he's doing. Really, all he does is..."

Blaine disregarded whatever Sebastian said and stared into a store that was having a sale on bow ties.

"Really?" Sebastian couldn't believe Blaine. "Do you really think you need more of those?"

Blaine quickly glimpsed at Sebastian before directing his attention to the ties once more. "Well, it's a sale."

"So? How many do you have? Twenty?"

"Twenty-seven, actually," Blaine answered, oblivious to the obvious sarcasm in Sebastian's voice. Sebastian rolled his eyes and walked into the store.

"Wh-What are you doing?" Blaine watched Sebastian walk in.

"You wanted to buy some, right? Let's do it," Sebastian answered. Blaine smiled and hurried into the store, picking up several bow ties. He took off his current bow tie and tried on one that was purple with orange polka dots.

"How's this one?" Blaine asked Sebastian while looking into a mirror.

"Sure thing, Blicki Minaj," Sebastian took a sip of his coffee and wandered off to look at the rest of the store. Blaine sighed and continued to try on the rest of his accessories.

Two hours. Two. Damn. Hours. How long did it take to try on some freaking bow ties!? Sebastian closed his eyes and tried to take a sip of his coffee before remembering he had finished it more than an hour ago. I'm. So. Bored...

"These," Blaine held two handfuls of bow ties, looking up excitedly at Sebastian.

"What?" Sebastian opened his eyes, realizing Blaine stood before him. He glimpsed at Blaine's hands and stared at him with a look that said, "What the hell are you even thinking!?"

"I'm buying all of these," Blaine smiled at Sebastian, holding out his hands at him.

"And why are you telling me this?" Sebastian questioned.

Blaine started to look slightly disappointed. "Well, I can't pay for them all, and I thought that you could help a bit."

"Do you really need this many?" Sebastian estimated the amount of bow ties in his hands had to be in the twenties. It would be expensive, even with the sale.

"You're right," Blaine pouted and looked down sadly at his hands. "I'll just put some away."

Sebastian almost felt bad for Blaine. It seemed like he really wanted all of them. Really? You're that sad because you can't get a few bow ties? How old are you, Blaine Anderson? Sebastian ran a hand through his hair and bit down on his teeth. I can't believe I'm doing this. "Blaine!" Blaine looked back at Sebastian, still sad. "I'll pay for them. All of them."

Blaine almost ran to Sebastian. A wide grin quickly replaced the frown on his face. "Okay, I have about seventy dollars on me right now, so-"

"No," Blaine looked up at Sebastian, confused. Sebastian grabbed all of the bow ties and walked up to the counter. "I'll pay for all of them."

"What? No, Sebastian, I can pay for some of them. You don't have to-"

"I'm paying for all of them, Blaine," Sebastian gave the items to the cashier without taking his eyes off Blaine. "It's that or you get none at all."

Blaine sighed and rolled his head. "Fine."

Sebastian gave Blaine a quick smile. "Good."

"But," Blaine hastily added, "I want to repay you. I'll do anything."

Sebastian smirked at the thought of Blaine doing anything for him. Several images pf Blaine, a bed, and a pile of discarded clothes ran through his mind. That would most certainly be fun, but he wouldn't do that. But maybe... "Scandals."

"What?" Blaine stared at Sebastian unbelievingly.

"Scandals," Sebastian repeated. "You said you wanted to repay me? Meet me at Scandals. Tonight. 9:00."

Blaine looked down, mulling over his offer. He didn't exactly have good memories over there.

"That'll be two hundred seventy-eight dollars," the cashier over the counter told Sebastian. Sebastian took out his wallet and paid with three one hundred dollar bills.

Blaine watched as the cashier bagged the bow ties. He really paid for all of it... "Deal."

Blaine scrolled through his Facebook feed on his laptop. He was laying down comfortably on his bed, his hand supporting his head. There wasn't really anything particularly interesting, but that wasn't anything new by now. Facebook is usually filled with boring posts. The most interesting and entertaining thing he saw was a new "Fondue for Two" episode where Brittany interviewed ex-Glee member Lauren Zizes, who was allegedly going to release a new perfume called Zizes. After reading a few more posts, Blaine saw the chat box pop up on his screen.

Sebastian: Almost 9:00 ;)

Blaine massaged his eyes with his fingers and looked at the time. It was 8:30.

Blaine: I'll be there.

Blaine logged out, closed his laptop, and rolled out of bed to hastily pick out an outfit and gel his hair. He had decided to wear a red polo shirt with a black vest, blue jeans, and one of the new bow ties Sebastian had bought for him. Blaine changed, ran out the door, and drove to Scandals.

Blaine walked into Scandals and showed the guard his fake ID Sebastian had got him. It said he was 38, but the guard didn't seem to care. Blaine found Sebastian holding two drinks in his hands at the bar.

"Blaine!" Sebastian quickly spotted Blaine. They walked up to each other, and Sebastian gave Blaine a drink. Blaine sniffed his drink, causing him to quickly jerk his head backward and scrunch his nose.

"How strong is this?" Blaine held the drink away from him. Sebastian looked at him and smiled.

"Don't worry about it, okay? We're here to have fun," Sebastian gulped down his drink and headed to the small dance floor. "Hurry up!"

Blaine watched Sebastian dance and chuckled to himself. He's certainly in a better mood than before. Blaine held his breath and drank the intoxicating liquid. He shook his head side to side like a wet dog. That tasted really weird... Blaine walked up to Sebastian and danced with him.

"You're not good with alcohol, are you?" Sebastian had to speak in a louder tone than usual because the music was so loud.

"No," Blaine remembered that the first time he drank was at Rachel's party. That did not go well.

"I can tell. You're already starting to lose control," Sebastian watched Blaine, whose dancing was already beginning to get sloppy. "We barely even got our drinks."

"Yeah, well, you know," Blaine's words started to slur. He looked up at Sebastian. "Do you want another drink? I want another drink."

"I don't think that's a good idea," Sebastian had wanted to see Blaine drunk, but he didn't want to see him end up lying in the middle of a desert.

"Hey, bartender! Can I get another drink!?" Blaine yelled across the room. He clumsily walked over to the bar to pick up his new drink, which he had finished in less than a minute. Blaine threw his hands up in the air and walked back to Sebastian. "Woo! Yeah!"

Sebastian watched Blaine dance crazily in front of him. I really hope this wasn't a mistake. Sebastian's movements became stiff and slow as he eyed Blaine closely.

"What's wrong with you? Dance!" Blaine nudged Sebastian and started making wild movements.

Sebastian laughed at Blaine's drunk behavior. He found it rather cute. "Fine," Sebastian said. He put all the worry out of his mind and began to dance normally.

After about ten minutes, Blaine started to stumble over his own feet.

"You okay, Blaine?" Sebastian watched Blaine carefully.

"Um, yeah," Blaine said. He lost balance and fell onto Sebastian. Sebastian caught him and helped him gain his balance.

"Okay, we're going," Sebastian took Blaine's arm and wrapped it around his neck. Sebastian placed his arm around Blaine and under his arm for support. The two headed for the door.

"What? No, I don't wanna go," Blaine whined.

"We are going," Sebastian said authoritatively. He and Blaine walked out of Scandals and toward Sebastian's car. "We'll drive back here for your car tomorrow."

"Can I sleep with you?" Blaine asked. Sebastian flinched slightly.

"Uh," Sebastian didn't know how to respond to that. It definitely took him by surprise. Was he really asking me to...?

"Just let me crash at your dorm," Blaine buried half his face into Sebastian's chest, unable to stop smiling and laughing. "My parents would be mad if they saw me like this."

Oh...that's what he meant. "Yeah. Sure, buddy." Sebastian was so happy and relieved that Blaine couldn't see the slight tinge of pink on his cheeks.

"Buddy. I like that name," Blaine was just spitting out nonsense now. Luckily, they had reached Sebastian's car. Sebastian opened the door to the back seat and laid Blaine across the seats. Blaine grabbed onto Sebastian's shirt and pulled him forward, causing him to lie on top of Blaine.

He looks so vulnerable... Inappropriate images flashed through Sebastian's mind. I could if I wanted. But...no. Not like this. Then again, I might not get another chance... Sebastian started to get all hot and bothered, and felt a familiar tightening in a certain area. Should I? No? Yes? No? Ugh... Sebastian's face was dangerously close to Blaine's, but Sebastian pulled away. He got out, closed the door, and sat in the front seat. Sebastian started his car and drove to Dalton.

"Hey, I remember that!" Sebastian helped Blaine walk down the halls of Dalton.

"Shut up! People could hear you," Sebastian told Blaine, who obviously wasn't listening.

"What?" Blaine almost tripped, but Sebastian was able to save him.

"Damn it, Blaine," Sebastian wasn't sure if he hated or liked drunk Blaine. He certainly was interesting, though.

"Where are the Warblers? I wanna sing with you guys," Sebastian propped Blaine up against the wall while he unlocked his door. Luckily, Sebastian didn't have a roommate, so Blaine could stay over with no problem. Sebastian opened the door and grabbed Blaine.

"Get in," Sebastian whispered. He pushed Blaine toward the bunk bed, laying him down on the bottom one. He seemed about ready to pass out. "Now go to sleep."

"Seb," Blaine groaned quietly.

"What?" Sebastian was tired after practically babysitting Blaine. All he wanted to do was crawl into his top bunk and go to sleep.

"Stay with me."

"What?" Sebastian wanted to make sure he heard that clearly.

"Sleep here. With me," Blaine repeated. Sebastian watched closely at his now peaceful form. He ran a hand through his hair, contemplating the request.

"Fine," Sebastian crawled into bed with him. He wrapped his hands around Blaine, who wasn't facing him. Sebastian started to feel warm. Not hot like earlier, but...warm. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but he liked the feeling. Blaine wove his fingers between Sebastian's. No...love...it doesn't exist...it's not true...it can't be... Sebastian pondered on the situation for a bit. Love's only in fairy tales. But during the fight...and today in the hall...and now...Do I...?

"Seb, I..." Blaine interrupted Sebastian's thoughts. Sebastian waited to hear what Blaine had to say, but he trailed off before finishing the sentence.

"You?" Sebastian asked, wanting to hear the full answer. You what, Blaine? Please, tell me... Sebastian waited for what seems like eternity for Blaine to finish, but his answer never came.

Question for the Readers: I really doubt that car scene would actually count as M, but I don't want my first story to be deleted due to one small scene/sentence. I'll keep it as T for now, but if it needs to be changed, please tell me as soon as possible. Thanks!
