By the time the pizza arrives Finn has started to complain that he's feeling nauseous. He tells Sam that its probably from not having eaten anything all day. He downs only two slices before throwing them up. Sam orders Finn to bed and helps his fiancé into his pajamas before covering him with two extra comforters and a cool washcloth that was placed on to his forehead. Finn's body hurt all over. He told Sam he loved him, but to spend the night on the couch or with Kurt so he wouldn't get sick too.
Sam hates sleeping on the couch so he goes into Kurt's bedroom and find's it strange looking with all of Blaine's things gone. So to surprise Kurt and make it not look so barren in the room, Sam reorganizes a few things. He adjusts the books on the shelves and finds new homes for certain knickknacks and before long the room looks just like it had before Blaine had moved in. Nearly two hours have passed and Sam is pleased with how quickly he was able to get it all done, but he was beginning to worry about Kurt and where he was. He walks out of Kurt's room and peaks his head into his and Finn's room. Finn is snoring and Sam knows he's definitely going to be sick for a few days, and will snore for a few weeks because of it. It takes Finn forever to get rid of excess snot.
Sam's phone buzzes and he checks it. It's a text from Puck.
BLAINE AND I ARE NOW OFFICIAL! SO HAPPY!
THANKS FOR TAKING CARE OF ME EARLIER BTW! SO GLAD TO HAVE YOU AS A BUD, DUDE!
Sam's stomach jumps into his throat. Because now he's worried about Puck, because Sam knows that Blaine doesn't really love Puck. But, he knows that if he doesn't at least try and be the supportive friend, he could risk losing Puck from his life.
THAT'S GREAT! I'M HAPPY FOR YOU DUDE!
THAT'S WHAT I'M HERE FOR!
Sam worries about sending the message, but he does it anyways. He wants to tell Puck that Blaine isn't the guy they all once knew. He's different now. He's become this evil version of the person he once was. He's almost become dangerous.
…
Kurt wanders his way through aisle after aisle when he feels a finger tapping him on the shoulder. He turns around and gives a halfhearted smile to the person. He's so glad she's here. He'd never thought he'd miss her when she left. But he kept in touch with her over facebook and twitter. And he was glad to get to see her for the first time in two years. The woman there to see him was none other than his old substitute teacher, Ms. Holly Holiday.
"Hey, Ms. Holiday." He says trying to be happy.
"Kurt, I thought you'd never ask….me to meet you at Walmy! Haha!" Her weird ways always amused Kurt. He loved how free she was about everything.
"I'm glad you came. Honestly I didn't think you'd be in town." He says as they walk over to one of the benches at the pharmacy.
"Well I'm here sweet cheeks, so tell mama about your boy troubles." Holly uses her fake 1920's New York fancy pants accent to make Kurt laugh.
He giggles a quiet laugh, but only for a brief moment. "I don't really know how or why it happened?"
"Well," she says swinging her body more towards Kurt's, "it sounded like the jerk fell for another guy…or at least he thought he had and then that relationship became nothing more than sex for him, but not the other guy, who you apparently hold no grudge to. Am I getting warm?"
"Pretty much I guess. I mean, I'm mad at Puck, but the way he looked at Blaine in every single one of those pictures … was like something you only saw in movies or read in a romance novel. As long as I've known him, Puck's never really fallen in love with anyone before. He had girlfriends, but he never looked like he was that happy with them….not like he was in those pictures." Kurt starts to cry as he finishes and Holly wraps an arm around the young man as she strokes he cheek with her soft hand.
"Love sucks sometimes and people do unforgivable things…but you have to move on from it when the relationship ends or else the loneliness will eat away at your soul and you'll be nothing more than a shell of the person you once were. No matter what happens after this moment, though it may stick with you forever, it's only going to make you stronger." Kurt loved the way Holly spoke. He found her inspiring, even when she was on the brink of being certifiably insane, her words would always speak a much deeper truth.
"Come on kid, I know an all-night ice cream place. My treat, what do you say?" She says standing up and offering a hand to Kurt. Kurt takes her hand and they leave the store, skipping no less.
The sound of Kurt's jaw dropping was the understatement of the year when he saw what Holly was driving. Before him was the most expensive car he'd ever seen, a bright red Ferrari. He was dumbfounded by how a traveling substitute could have such as lavish vehicle.
"Wanna take her for a spin?" Holly says dangling the keys in front of Kurt's mouth gaped face.
Kurt merely nods his head as he takes the keys and gets into the driver's seat. Sound of the engine revving sends a surge of excitement up his spine. He puts the car in reverse and he drives down to the exit. "So how did you afford this car?"
"Well I won the lottery and ….LOOK OUT!" It was too late for Holly to finish her sentence before another car crashed into her own. Kurt throws the car into park and Holly assures him that she's fine. They both get out and check on the other driver. The blinding light of the other cars headlights is blinding as Kurt sees the silhouette of what he can only guess is a young man coming towards them.
"Are you guys all ri…Oh great as if my day couldn't get any worse." The driver of the other car spoke and Kurt recognized the voice of the young man that had just hit the front end on Holly's car. It was none other than the bad boy Warbler, Sebastian Smythe.
"Sebastian, what are you doing here?" Kurt asks trying to not sound annoyed.
"Look, Kurt, I don't want to deal with this right now. You pulled out in front of me, so let's just all call it square and just go our separate ways?" He says and Kurt and Holly have looks of confusion on their faces.
"Why would we do that?" Kurt says cautiously, but then he notices that Sebastian's cheeks are stained from tears.
Sebastian muffles back a sob. "Because I got expelled today, someone sent in the recorded Santana made last year and the school kicked me out. I start McKinley on Monday, which is the day after tomorrow, so I guess I'll be seeing you a lot more now. And on top of that my dad kicked me out."
"Why would he do that?" Holly asks feeling sorry for the young man.
"He found out I'm gay…not that it was a giant secret, but he was the only person in my family that didn't know and for good reason too. Though, it was more like he refused to know it…until he got a call from the same anonymous person that sent the tape to Dalton." Kurt can't believe it, but he actually feels pity for Sebastian right now.
"Kurt I have an idea, why don't you drive Sebastian here over to the ice cream shop and I'll meet you there in my car and we can all sort this out?" Kurt's eyes are pleading for her to suggest an alternative, but he gives in.
"Come on Sebastian let me drive; you and I can have our own pity party, paid for by none other than Ms. Holly Holiday of course." Kurt gives Holly a look that tells her she owes him a lot of ice cream for this.
Kurt follows Holly in her car. He and Sebastian sit in silence for a few minutes, but Sebastian asks him why he's having a pity party too. Kurt tells him about Blaine's affair. Sebastian tells Kurt that he's genuinely sorry for their break up and for trying to hook up with Blaine last year.
"I really am sorry Kurt. I never realized how my actions could hurt someone until the whole thing with Dave happened. I never want to be that guy again. I want to be good, and I have been. The Warblers fought for me to stay and said that the tape was the old me, but the headmaster didn't care, he said his lawyers were breathing down his neck to expel me." Sebastian starts to cry and Kurt can't help but wrap and arm around him and pull him close as he keeps the other hand firmly on the wheel.
They arrive at the ice cream shop, and low and behold its owned by Holly. She opens the store up for them and starts scooping out big balls of ice cream for them both.
"Don't worry about the cars boys, I know a guy who will fix them for free. I'll text Kurt the address and you two can bring Sebastian's car in to have it fixed, though I think it just dented the front bumpers on both cars, so the repairs won't take long." Sebastian and Kurt both thank her for the hospitality.
"Ok well I have a kitten at my hotel that I'm supposed to be babysitting, so Kurt lock up and leave the key under the mat." Kurt doesn't have time to speak as she leaves him there alone with Sebastian.
"She was your ride home wasn't she?" Sebastian asks pointing his spoon at the door.
"Yep, you mind taking me home in a little while?" Kurt asks his new found friend.
"Sure, do you care if I crash on your couch? I'm kind of homeless at the moment. My mom is trying to calm my dad and she gave me money for a hotel, but I …I really don't want to be alone tonight." Kurt sees the pain his Sebastian's eyes and though Finn might not be happy about it, Sebastian needed help. Kurt could also tell that Sebastian had changed. He wasn't the jerk he was last year. This Sebastian was kind and thoughtful. Kurt liked this version of Sebastian, although he did question if the now former Warbler had taken a vacation to Stepford, Connecticut and was replaced by a robot.
"You can stay as long as you want, although Finn lives there too, so you might have to show him how much you've changed this past year." Sebastian drops his head.
"Yeah, I know. I've tried calling, texting, email, facebook, and twitter, but he's never responded to any of my messages apologizing for making those photos. I'm so ashamed of the guy I once was." He says with a low voice.
"Come on, I think you and I could use a good night's rest." Kurt says taking their bowls and putting them in the sink behind the freezers. They clean up and then lock up the store and Kurt drives Sebastian's car home with Sebastian thanking him the whole way. They talk about all kinds of things and Sebastian starts to see Kurt differently. Though they used to butt heads when they would meet, now he can have a normal conversation with Kurt. He saw the potential for friendship, and maybe more. Sebastian even shared the news that he'd just auditioned for the NYU Tisch program and was waiting on his acceptance letter. Kurt was happy about this, surprisingly.
When they parked the car and entered the apartment Kurt made up the couch for Sebastian. He was glad he'd gotten the pullout couch instead of a regular one. Though this was the first time it was being used. He walked into his room and found Sam sleeping in his bed, snoring quite loudly. Kurt barley wakes Sam for a moment to ask what he's doing in Kurt's bed instead of his own with Finn.
"Mmmmm Finn's sick, and I was gonna sleep with you tonight." Sam groans as he falls back asleep with a slight snore.
Kurt changes into his pajamas and grabs a pair for Sebastian in case he didn't have any. He gets his toothbrush and an extra for his new friend. He reenters his room and notices that his room is the way it was before Blaine moved in. He figured Sam must've done it since Finn was sick. He bends down and kisses Sam's forehead.
"Thank you for fixing my room." Kurt whispers and Sam mutters something that Kurt thinks was a you're welcome. He covers Sam with a blanket and leaves his room, closing to door slowly as to not wake his friend.
"Sam's sleeping in my bed, cause apparently Finn is sick." He says handing the pajamas and toothbrush to Sebastian.
"Oh well, I can sleep on the floor if you'd prefer it." Sebastian just wants to be a good guest. He's just thankful for Kurt's letting him stay the night.
"Nonsense, we can both just share the couch bed." Sebastian is stunned by this and so is Kurt.
Sebastian gets ready for bed and he and Kurt brush their teeth over the kitchen sink. They put the last of Finn and Sam's pizza in the fridge. Kurt checks the clock, its just after midnight. He and Sebastian climb into bed after the lights are shut out.
"Kurt, can I ask you something?" Sebastian says thinking of how to ask his next question.
"Sure," Kurt says looking at his new friend.
"Can I hold you? ... I … I know you and Blaine just broke up, but I feel like I need something to hold onto right now, and you look like you just need to be held, so I was thinking…" Kurt interrupts him by rolling onto his side and scooting backwards into Sebastian's tight muscular frame. Sebastian wraps his arms around Kurt and Kurt falls asleep quickly. Sebastian can't help but enjoy how good Kurt feels in his arms and he lightly kisses the back of Kurt's neck before falling asleep himself.
