A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews! And I'm really glad that you all like Lucas! Some of you asked about Lucas' age and he's 15 and a sophomore at Dalton. From now on, I'll do little spoilers post on my tumblr (kurtaveclarcenciel) under the tag "fic 20 mins", mostly answer questions in your reviews, and possibly directions of the stories. Writing is getting better so I do hope I can update more frequently :)
Kurt insisted he was okay to drive home alone to save Sebastian another few hours of travel just to drop him off.
"Alright then. You are the stubborn type aren't you." Sebastian tried to lighten up the mood.
"Yeah, I guess. Thanks again."
"You said it like a hundred times already. Gimme your phone."
"What?"
"Gimme your phone, so I can give you my number. If An- whatever happens, call me, or one of the Warblers. And you can buy me coffee for a week to thank me."
Kurt smiled again, and handed over his phone. He reckoned it was probably a friendly offer from Sebastian to ease his conscience for suggesting the night at Scandals. He didn't miss the guilt in those green eyes.
"Okay. Drive safe and don't die, or whatever." Sebastian said and handed back Kurt's phone.
Kurt fought the urge to roll his eyes "Bye Sebastian."
Kurt wasn't even five steps into the house when Burt rushed to him. "KURT! Where have you been?"
Kurt bit his bottom lip nervously. Of course he noticed the 90 or so missed calls and about 76 unread texts, but he didn't know what to tell his friends and family.
"I was worried sick! You were about to give me another heart attack kid!"
"Sorry, sorry! Please calm down. I'm fine now..." Kurt felt incredibly guilty, he didn't want Burt to see him break down after the incident and worry, but he forgot that being MIA had the same effect. Burt spotted Kurt's swollen red eyes and... "You're wearing sweatpants? And were you crying?"
Burt might not know anything about fashion but he knew his son never wore sweats outside of the house. Kurt looked away to avoid eye contact.
"Kurt, what's wrong? Talk to me kid."
Finn and Sam walked into living room and Finn instantly shouted, "Dude, where were you? You didn't tell me you and Blaine were going out all night!"
Kurt seriously wanted to punch Finn in the face, and he wasn't a violent person.
"Wait, you were out all night with Blaine?"
"Please, can we not talk about i-it..." Kurt's voice started shaking at the end of the sentence.
"Something happened, what was it?" Burt demanded an answer.
"Please don't ask..." Kurt started crying again and he just reached for Burt's arms.
"I'm here, tell me what's wrong. Kurt, please, tell me what's wrong..."
"It's...B-Blaine" And that's all Kurt could say before sobbing out loud.
Carole came out from the kitchen hearing the crying "Honey what's wrong?"
Finn and Sam shook their heads in confusion and they both looked at Burt. Burt looked down at Kurt who was shaking and sobbing.
"Something happened to Blaine?"
Kurt shook his head "N-no, he tried to...tried to force m-me..."
Burt was stunned, so were Carole and Sam, but Finn was still processing the information to understand what that meant.
"I'm gonna kill him." Burt said angrily.
"No, dad no...he didn't get to."
"It's not the point! He tried to hurt you Kurt!" Burt was almost shouting.
"Burt, calm down." Carole came to hug the two of them.
"No I will not calm down! How could he do this? I thought that boy was good."
"He was...drunk."
Burt took a deep breath "Okay, I'm not even gonna ask why you guys were drinking in the first place, but what he did is unforgivable."
"I know...I will talk to him. I will...I just need some time."
"Don't tell me you're going to forgive him. He tried to force you to have sex!"
"Wait, Blaine did what?" Finn only just now realised what was going on.
"Finn, this is not the time" Carole shook her head.
"Honey, how come you're just now getting home? Where have you been all night." Carole asked.
"A friend from the Warblers helped me. He saved me from...Blaine and he took care of me. I'm sorry I didn't call or come home right away, I was kinda in shock."
"Okay. I'm glad someone was taking care of you." Kurt gave Burt a weak smile,
"Can I go upstairs and rest, I need some time to think about the whole thing. And Dad, please promise me you won't use your shot gun or anything."
Kurt could see his dad was having an emotional tug of war in his head but he eventually sighed. "Right, fine I promise."
Kurt changed back into his own clothes and put Sebastian's clothes in the washing machine. He lay on his bed to wait for the wash to finish while he started checking his phone again.
[Kurt, please call me. - B]
[Sorry I was drunk -B]
[Please let me know if you're safe – B]
[I'm sorry – B]
[I'm sorry. Please forgive me. - B]
And the texts went on and on and on, Kurt didn't bother to read anymore after the fifth one and just deleted the rest and all of the voice mails. He hesitate a moment then typed out a new text.
[Is it weird that I don't hate him?]
He looked at the text a while, then pressed send to Sebastian. There was no reply, but his phone rang after a minutes. Kurt saw the caller was Sebastian so he picked up on the second ring.
{Hello...}
{What do you mean you don't hate him?} Sebastian's tone was more confused than angry.
{I don't know, like I feel like I should hate him, but I don't. I mean I was so scared and shocked, but thinking about the whole thing now, I don't think I hate him.}
{Are you telling me you're going to forgive him?}
{I don't know}
{Hummel, are you an idiot or what? He tried to rape you for fuck's sake}
{Yes, but you saved me.}
{So you're saying that because he didn't get to rape you, you'll forgive him?}
{That's not what I'm saying!} Kurt hissed.
{Then how do you feel about it then?}
{I guess I am more disappointed.}
{Because Anderson turned out to be nothing like you imagined?}
{That's part of it...}
{Part of it?}
{I always liked romance} Kurt smiled lightly when he heard Sebastian snort on the other side.
{Or I thought I like romance. Blaine was sweet and caring when I first met him. I thought he was like my prince charming or something.}
{I'm assuming there's a but.}
{But...the longer I was with him, the more flaws I saw in him. I'm not saying I'm perfect or anything. But I just feel he's not what I imagined, or should I say I realise what we had not what I really wanted.}
{You realised romance is not what you want?}
{Yes, and no. Part of me still likes it, I like being cared for and complimented. I'm not asking for flowers every day and diamond ring and stuff. You know, Blaine sang to me in front of the whole school the day I transferred back to McKinley...}
{So I've heard}
{And he transferred school to be with me...}
{Hummel, you're losing me here.}
{Right right, okay, so he did all these big romantic gestures, but that's it.}
{Your point is...?}
Kurt chuckled quietly, thinking maybe Sebastian would never get the idea of romance
{It's like he did all these things and thought they were enough to support our relationship. I wish sometimes he would've held my hand when we walked down the hallway, or noticed when I wore a blue scarf that brought out my eyes or something. I like the little things, they light up my day. But he barely did that. He didn't like holding my hand or kissing me in public. I like romance in the little details, but then I realised I also like passion and being desired.}
{You are really high maintenance, hmm.} Sebastian laughed a little
{I guess. When me and Blaine made out, he was always so gentle. Or more like he treated me as a fragile doll.}
{And you wanted a sex riot.}
{Sometimes...yeah, I wanted him to be like gone crazy about me. Like he was desperate to get close to me. Like the desire was so strong he couldn't help himself.}
{I'm sure the desire was that strong last night then.}
{No, but that wasn't about me. He said he wanted me but I really don't think he wanted me. I think he just wanted someone, and I was there. He might have some drinking problem. The last time he was drunk, he made out with my best friend, a girl, and he told me he thought he might be bisexual.}
{What the fuck?}
{Like I said, he probably is just a horny drunk, so he wanted whatever was in front of him. Maybe he never wanted me in the first place. And maybe I didn't want him like I thought I would too.}
{You're really calm now it's kinda scary.}
Kurt smiled again.
{It's funny I can talk to you about all this. I guess you've already seen the inner me, so there's nothing to hide.}
{Your sassy sexy bitchy side? Yeah, will never forget that. It's very impressive.}
{If you think praising me will get you sex, you can save it.} Kurt sighed.
{Hey, no. Do you think I just think about sex all the time?}
Kurt rolled his eyes and didn't say anything.
{Okay, fine, yea, I get what you mean. I can hear your eyes rolling.}
Sebastian smiled as well and he knew Kurt must've been smiling too.
{But, can we be friends? As a fresh start?}
Kurt heart beat a little faster at those words because Sebastian actually sounded sincere and Kurt thought maybe, just maybe it would be a great friendship and a new chapter to his life.
{O-okay. Yes. Let's do this.}
{Great, friend, so if you need me to beat the shit out of Anderson, just text me alright?}
{I'm not gonna let you do that. Beside, there's three men in line before you for that privilege.}
{Aren't you popular?}
Kurt actually laughed out loud at that
{It's my family you idiot!}
Sebastian laughed as well.
{Alright, take care Kurt. Get some sleep okay? I'm gonna deal with my annoying brother right now.}
{Sebastian...thank you.}
{Don't go sappy on me please.} Sebastian teased
{Okay, talk to you later then.}
They hung up, and Kurt was amazed by how easy talking to Sebastian could be. It was so natural. How things change in such short time. He thought his nightmare returned to mess up his life when he saw Sebastian in Lima Bean hitting on his boyfriend, (well, possibly ex-boyfriend now), then Blaine turning out to be an even bigger nightmare and now, a newfound friendship between him and Sebastian.
