A/N: Yay! New chapter! I haven't updated in a while...so sorry! I've having a lot more fun writing the newer chapters. They're filled with more drama and comedy (dramedy?) than the older one's. I'm not sure if the comedy is actually funny though... Anyways, fun "Fondue for Two" scene in here. It was surprisingly hard to write! I tried to follow Brittany's "try to act smart but ask odd questions" thing when she does the webshow, so I really hoped it worked...hope you guys like the chapter!
"So are you all ready for Sadie Hawkins tonight?" Tina grinned. She, Blaine, Sam, Brittany, and Artie sat around a table, drinking their coffee. Glee practice was cancelled for the day, so the five seniors decided to hang out at the Lima Bean before the dance.
"Heck yes!" Artie replied. He extended his arms and shook them back and forth along with his body. "I'm gonna bust out my dance moves ya'll!"
Sam, Blaine, and Tina joined him in his little party, waving their arms back and forth, and yelling out, "Woo, woo!" in unison. The four laughed loudly after their small dance.
"Oh, shoot," Brittany spoke up, about to eat a piece of her biscotti. "I have a 'Fondue for Two' episode tonight."
"We're still going, right?" Sam turned to her, slightly worried.
Brittany looked at him hesitantly. "Of course. I'll just find a way to do it earlier." Brittany continued to fill her mouth with biscotti.
"Who are you interviewing?" Tina asked. Surprisingly, "Fondue for Two" was one of Tina's favorite things to watch online.
"Brebostin," Brittany accidentally spit crumbs of her snack over the table. Her mouth was overflowing with biscotti.
"Who?" Tina giggled along with the rest of the crew. They all tried to conceal their faces from Brittany by looking in separate directions.
"Hehastin," Brittany attempted another answer, once again spilling crumbs onto the table. "Hyo no, shifunk harbler."
The seniors couldn't hide their faces anymore and burst out into laughter. Sam leaned onto Brittany, while Tina and Artie put their heads down onto the table. Once the laughter died down, the four tried to decipher what Brittany meant.
"Did you say he was Alaskan?" Artie was the first to speak up, still smiling. Brittany shook her head.
"I think she said something about a barber," Sam said. Brittany shook her head again.
"I think she said Lady Gaga," Tina said jokingly. Artie, Sam, Tina, and even Brittany laughed aloud again. Brittany placed her hands over her mouth, trying to calm herself down and chew her food.
Blaine looked down at his lap, trying to unravel the mystery of Brittany's words. Harbler...sharbler, tarbler, cargler...Warbler? Blaine thought about it a little more and looked up at Brittany when he solved the puzzle, his mouth left open. "Sebastian?"
The four stared at Blaine and were able to calm themselves down. Blaine looked at each one of them before casting his attention to Brittany once more. She held up a finger, asking for a moment.
"Yeah, him," Brittany had finished her snack and was able to talk normally again.
"Why him?" Blaine asked. Tina looked away in disgust, while Artie and Sam just listened in.
"I don't know," Brittany replied, raising her shoulders and relaxing them. "He asked me what stuff you liked, and I said I'd only tell him if he did 'Fondue for Two' with me."
"Wait, what?" Blaine shook his head and leaned forward. "He asked you about me?"
Brittany was about to take another bite of her biscotti when she realized she had said something she wasn't supposed to. She took a second to try to figure out what to say and put her snack down on the table. "What? No. No, he just, um...yeah."
The four seniors looked at Brittany suspiciously. She tried her best to not look them back in the eyes, especially Blaine.
"You're not mad, are you?" Brittany asked, occasionally glancing at Blaine.
"N-No," Blaine reluctantly answered, letting out a small chuckle to lighten the mood. "Of course not, Brittany."
"So..." Sam tried to break the tension, "Did you guys know the Warblers cheated?"
Artie, Tina, and Brittany threw their heads back and grunted. Artie threw his hand over his face, regretting the moment he helped Sam out with the Warbler dilemma.
"It's true!" Sam started to get hyped up again on his conspiracy theories.
"Not this again," Tina groaned.
"What!? It's true! Come on, Artie! Back me up, man! HPV, right?" Sam tried his best to convince them on his theories, staring at Artie expectantly.
"Sam, that was just a theory, okay? Besides..."
Blaine tuned out of the three against one argument and thought about Sebastian. What did he ask Brittany about me anyway?
Fondue for two! Hey!
Fondue for two! Yes!
That's some hot dish!
Fondue for two!
"Welcome back to 'Fondue for Two.' Today we are interviewing enemy Warbler and smooth criminal, Sebastian Smythe," Brittany said, looking into the camera. Sebastian took a strawberry and dipped it into the fondue before putting it into his mouth. Right after, he opened his mouth and spit it out onto the table between the two. He tried to cool down his mouth by taking deep, open-mouth breaths.
"Why is this fondue so-"
"Delicious? Yes, I know," Brittany interrupted. "Legendary food critic, Lord Tubbington, has attested to it's magical taste many times."
On the bottom of the screen, the words "Fondue is tasty!" appeared along with a cartoon drawing of Lord Tubbington.
"What?" Sebastian was awestruck by Brittany's thinking process.
"Rumor has it that you're trying to 'turn' Hunter Clarington of the Warblers. What's your take on the statement?" Brittany surprised Sebastian with the question. He nervously chuckled and glanced at the camera before answering.
"N-No. That's not, uh, true," Sebastian raised a fist over his mouth and cleared his throat uneasily. "Wh-Where did you hear that from?" Sebastian raised his voice toward the end of his sentence.
"Mr. Puss sent Lord Tubbington an email about it," Brittany answered and turned the camera toward Lord Tubbington, who was laying down on Brittany's bed.
"Wait, isn't that Hunter's c-"
"Moving on," Brittany said. "You sang 'Stand' at your Regionals last year, and later, Quinn Fabray had a car accident and couldn't walk after. I think you were the one who crashed into her car on purpose. Is this true?"
"What? No!" Sebastian denied. Why did I even agree to this?
"Lies," Brittany quickly added. Sebastian tried to speak, but Brittany spoke first. "My sources say that you learned French to appeal to Blaine Warbler's infamous French kink. Is this true?"
Sebastian raised his hand to his forehead and put it down. "No, I learned French when I lived in Paris." Sebastian raised and eyebrow and smirked. "Wait, Blaine has a French kink?"
"Yeah," Brittany answered. "Kurt tried to speak it, but it just got confusing and annoying."
"Really?" Sebastian looked up and thought about what would happen if he spoke the language around Blaine.
"Why do you speak French? Is English hard for you?"
"I'm speaking English right now," Sebastian snapped out of his thoughts.
"What? Sorry, I can't speak Chinese," Brittany said, leaving Sebastian confused.
"I wasn't-"
"Blaine asked you to the Sadie Hawkins dance to get away from Tina," Brittany quickly changed the subject, "but now some say he wants to go with you because he is madly in love with you. How do you respond to that?"
Sebastian sat speechless, his mouth agape, before attempting a small laugh. "Blaine has no feelings for me." He waved his hand and looked blankly at the wall.
"How are you so sure?"
Sebastian didn't respond.
"Do you have any feelings for him?" Brittany added, innocently looking at Sebastian.
Sebastian, on the other hand, seemed apprehensive and disturbed. He placed his hands on his thighs and stretched his arms, deeply inhaling and exhaling. After a few seconds, he turned toward the camera and turned it off.
Blaine stared at his laptop screen, thinking if he waited long enough, the video would continue playing. He waited for a few minutes, somewhat desperate to hear more. After about three minutes, he finally turned off his computer and lied down on his bed. "Blaine has no feelings for me." Sebastian's words stood out to him. His mind was half-blank, half ping-ponging back and forth his actual feelings for Sebastian, trying to convince himself he didn't feel anything for him. But I love Kurt...right?
Blaine stood alone, looking down at his half-filled cup of punch. Sadie Hawkins sucked so far. Sebastian hadn't showed up, and Blaine was pretty sure he wasn't going to. Not that it bothers me. He shook the cup a bit, watching the punch sway back and forth.
"Hey, you all right?" Tina spotted Blaine and walked up to him. He switched his attention from the cup to Tina.
"Y-Yeah," Blaine replied hesitantly. It didn't even seem he heard what she said, just the fact it was a question.
"Where's Sebastian?" Tina asked, upsetting and angering Blaine. He clutched the cup in his slightly stronger than before and gritted his teeth.
"I don't know, and I don't care," Blaine said sharply. He continuously squeezed the cup tighter and tighter, causing the punch to spill out of the cup and onto his hand. "Obviously he doesn't care too, since he didn't even bother to show up or even warn me."
Tina took a small step back, somewhat frightened. "Maybe he's just late," Tina said shyly, trying to reassure her friend he was coming. She knew that wasn't the case though. The dance had started an hour ago.
"He's not late!" Blaine shouted, slamming his cup onto the table behind him, spilling red juice all over the floor and the table. He looked down at the floor, mumbling to himself through his teeth. His eyes started to tear up slightly. Idiot...why should I even care?
Tina watched Blaine closely, noticing the very, very slight glimmering of his eyes. She took a deep breath and pulled out her phone from her small purse. "Wait a second."
"...stupid..." Blaine kept muttering under his breath. Tina turned around and left Blaine alone, who didn't notice she left. She scrolled through her contacts until she found Sebastian's name. She didn't exactly know why his number was even in her phone, but she was glad it was.
"Come on, come on," Tina waited for Sebastian to pick up, hoping he would pick up.
"Hello?" the voice on the other end sounded drowsy.
"Why aren't you at Sadie Hawkins?" Tina asked bitterly.
Sebastian murmured low enough so Tina couldn't hear him. She did, however, make out the word "fondue."
"What?" Tina said.
"Nothing," Sebastian replied.
"Well, you better get your ass over here before I-"
"Before you what?" Sebastian interrupted defiantly.
Tina rubbed her forehead and calmed herself down. "Look, Blaine's waiting for you. I don't know why, but he is, so get over here. Now."
"No," Sebastian answered, his sleepy voice instantly morphing into a stern, commanding tone.
"He's crying right now!" Tina said, exaggerating what really happened. There was a long pause before Sebastian spoke again.
"Really?" he asked, a superficial amount of worry in his voice.
"Yes!" There was another pause.
"Fine. I'll be there," Sebastian hung up.
Good job, Tina. Tina put her phone away, smiled proudly, and walked back to Blaine.
Blaine watched the girls perform "Locked Out of Heaven," a performance he would've been enjoying if he could even "enjoy" right now. He puffed out his cheeks and let a breath escape his mouth slowly.
"Waiting for someone?" a voice sounded directly behind him. The suave sound of it sent chills down Blaine's back. Blaine smiled widely, but he tried to turn it into a frown before turning around to face Sebastian.
"How nice of you to show up," Blaine said, biting down on his lip to hide a smile. Of course, Sebastian easily saw through his facade.
"Well, there was nothing better to do," Sebastian chuckled, raising his shoulders. Blaine gave up and started to laugh with him. Sebastian took something out of his pocket. He put a one hand behind his back, extended the other hand, and bowed down in a gentlemanly manner. "Oh, and here is to make for being late."
"Wow," Blaine took the item, a watch, out of his hand and observed it. It was from a foreign watch maker, probably French. Blaine wrapped it around his wrist and continued, "this looks really expensive. Are you sure-"
"Yeah, totally," Sebastian responded before Blaine finished.
"Thanks, Seb," Blaine inspected the watch a bit more. "Did Brittany tell you I liked watches or something? Because..."
"Why would I be talking to Brittany?" Sebastian asked. Blaine gave him an "I'm not an idiot" glare. "Yeah, she did."
She was wrong... Blaine still liked the present. "Thanks again. What else did she tell you?"
"Nothing interesting enough to make it worth the wasted time I took on her cheese show," Sebastian looked up, obviously unhappy with the situation he was put in on the show. He changed the subject before a certain something else was brought up. "So are you just gonna stand there, or are you gonna dance with me?"
Blaine smiled widely and raised his hand to his face. He held out his other hand, and Sebastian grabbed it and pulled him onto the dance floor. The two began to dance, though Sebastian was more energetic.
"Can you please stop dancing like we're at Scandals?" Blaine laughed, watching Sebastian closely.
"You mean like this?" Sebastian started to thrust his hips forward, causing Blaine shake his head and laugh harder. Sebastian enjoyed seeing Blaine happy and relaxed.
"Yeah, like that," Blaine answered. Sebastian stopped and started to dance normally, or at least as normal as possible. He had gotten so used to club dancing, he had almost forgot what was considered appropriate.
"Isn't this song kind of begging for someone to dance seductively?" Sebastian asked, turning his head to watch the performance.
"Maybe," Blaine replied. Sebastian gave Blaine a questioning look, as if he were asking him for permission to dance a bit more suggestively. "No."
"Blaine, this song is about sex," Sebastian pointed out.
"So?"
"So," Sebastian paused for effect and zeroed in on Blaine. He leaned down to whisper in Blaine's ear, "let's have sex."
Blaine shivered at the words. Sebastian had rarely been so straightforward with his intentions. "In your dreams."
"There's a reason they say dreams come true," Sebastian stepped back and winked at him. An embarrassing tinge of pink spread across Blaine's face-something Sebastian, and only Sebastian, could cause. Blaine looked down, trying to hide his face. Oh, Blaine, why do you have to be so easy to tease? "Blaine?"
"Wh-What?" Blaine said shyly. He loved and hated the way Sebastian did this to him. It embarrassed him, but for some odd reason, he liked to be harassed by Sebastian.
Sebastian snickered. He grabbed Blaine's head and tilted it upwards so they could gaze at each other. "Calm down."
Blaine stared at the smiling Warbler. The blush slowly died down. The two heard a microphone being tapped and looked at the stage.
"Settle down, children," Principal Figgins spoke into the microphone as the girls got off stage. He slowly talked, making sure to enunciate each word properly. "I have an announcement. The toilets at McKinley are now in working condition again, but please be gentle. They are very fragile."
The students exchanged disgusted and relieved looks at one another. Earlier, they had to off-campus to use the restroom.
"Now, give it up for Ryder Lynn singing 'I Only Have These Eyeballs for You' by the Fla-mangoes," Figgins handed the microphone over to Ryder. The music began and every couple started to slow dance with each other.
Sebastian and Blaine stared at each other, wondering what to do. The blush from earlier reappeared on Blaine's face.
"Um," Blaine softly said, "do you?"
"Uh, sure?" Sebastian didn't know how to respond either. He wasn't used to slow dancing, even though he learned how to do it when he lived in Paris.
"O-Okay," Blaine stuttered as Sebastian closed the gap between them, "I'll-I'll just-"
Their hands were all over each other, trying to find a comfortable position. They looked away from each other as they awkwardly searched each other's bodies. Blaine wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck, while Sebastian place his arms around Blaine's waist. Finally, they found a position they could agree on.
"This is," Blaine started, trying to relax. Once he felt Sebastian loosen up, he laid his head on Sebastian's chest. "This is nice."
"Yeah," Sebastian said. The couple slowly danced with each other, trying to steady their quickening heartbeats. Blaine closed his eyes.
"You're so tall," Blaine whispered. He almost felt guilty for absolutely loving the moment he was having with Sebastian. He still had a plan laid out for him and Kurt, but he started to question it now. Blaine felt special when he was with Sebastian. All the flirty conversations, the teasing, the fighting. Blaine really liked being with Sebastian. He made him feel...warm inside. Warmth... It was a feeling Blaine had only shared with one other person, a person who was now in New York. Blaine looked up at Sebastian, only to find out Sebastian had been staring at him the whole time. Sebastian smiled. It wasn't his usual smirk. It was...a smile.
"Hey," Sebastian whispered as he ran one of his hands through Blaine's hair. It felt...nice.
Blaine couldn't control himself. He closed his eyes and leaned forward unknowingly. Almost there... Blaine waited for contact with Sebastian. Their lips lightly brushed against each other. Almost...there...
Sebastian suddenly jerked backwards violently. Blaine almost tripped, since he was leaning on Sebastian the whole time. He opened his eyes to find Sebastian panting heavily, the red blush now forming on Sebastian's face. "I-I can't." Sebastian tried to hide his face, his tears, his emotions. He turned around and started rushing toward the door. Blaine stood still, confused. When he finally snapped back into reality, he called out to Sebastian.
"W-Wait! Seb! I-I'm sorry!" Blaine spurted out anything he could say that might bring Sebastian back. He started to chase after him, but two hands grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back. Blaine turned around to see Sam.
"Dude! We have it! The evidence! The Warblers cheated!" Sam whisper-shouted excitedly. "Come on!"
"S-Seb," Blaine turned away to find Sebastian, but he had already left. Blaine was about to take a step forward to catch up with him, but Sam grabbed his hand and pulled him away.
"Come on, dude!" Sam started to drag Blaine away. Blaine allowed himself to be pulled away by Sam. He still looked back, searching the crowd, hoping to find Sebastian.
"Seb..."
