A/N: Lucas is back this chapter :D Thank you for reviews and support.
Kurt sent a text to all the New Directions' members saying he was skipping the rest of the school day to meet some friends from Dalton for something important. He drove to Lima Bean for his daily caffeine, and sent off another text to Sebastian while waiting for his non-fat mocha.
[Is it okay for me to come to Dalton right now? You guys still have Warblers practice right? - K]
[Miss me already? -S]
[In your dreams, I need to return the clothes you lent me last time -K.]
[Okay, come on over. -S]
Before Kurt could reply to that one, another text came through.
[Wait, don't you have school? -S]
[What? Worried about my school work? I don't know Meerkat know anything about academy. -K]
[Whatever princess. -S]
Kurt smirked at the text.
[I'll see you in a bit Timon. :P -K]
On the way to Dalton, Kurt felt more relaxed the further away from Lima he drove. He was glad Blaine accepted the break up peacefully. Despite all things, he still cared about Blaine. After the conversation they had, Kurt thought of both Blaine and himself and realised they were more in love with the idea of being in love instead of actually being in love with each other. He knew Blaine loved him, and so did he. They would love each other as best friends instead. Kurt smiled, he thought this will lead them both to something better.
Kurt arrived at Dalton just about before the Warblers started flushing into the choir room. Jeff and Nick spotted Kurt right away "Kurtie!"
Jeff practically jumped across the room and gave Kurt a tackle hug "We miss you so much!"
"Let me breath." Kurt giggled.
"I knew I heard your girly voice, princess, didn't expect you to be here so soon. Eager to see me?" Sebastian walked through the door and smirked.
"Meerkat, don't flatter yourself. I just miss my boys, and I'm being a nice person with impeccable manners, returning your...stuff you lent me." Kurt placed a small paper bag on the leather sofa next to him.
Sebastian reached for the bag and look at it, he sniffed "Gross, do you have to spray your perfume over my stuff?"
"Excuse me, I washed and pressed it. And for the record, that's lavender fabric softener."
"I got to admit, I'm impressed you didn't sprinkle glitter on it."
"Guys, do you wanna explain what's going on?" Jeff, seriously confused, interrupted the two of them.
"I met Sebastian last week when he and Blaine were hanging out at the Lima Bean. Something happened later and he helped me."
Kurt managed to tell a true but veiled version of the events before Sebastian could even come up with an answer.
Jeff and Nick nodded. Nick wanted to say something but got interrupted by another voice.
"Kurt?" Lucas almost jogged to Kurt's side with a big smile on his face.
"Oh, hi. Lucas right?" Kurt gave him a polite smile and Lucas grinned from ear to ear.
Kurt was such a mess last time he saw Lucas, he only got to really look at him this time. He was the same height as Kurt, if not taller. Lucas also had bright green eyes like Sebastian's, but he was not as tan as Sebastian and skinnier. His smile seemed to light up the room and was very innocent, which was nothing like Sebastian's devious smile.
"I wanted to tell you last time but Seb kicked me out, I think you are the most beautiful boy I've ever seen." Lucas said in a sing song tone.
Sebastian rolled his eyes "Lou, stop embarrassing yourself! What's with you crushing on older boys?"
Jeff whispered in Kurt's ears "Lucas is a sophomore, and he had a crush on one of the seniors the first week of school."
Kurt only giggled at the information because he thought it was actually very endearing. (God I sound like David.)
Lucas was looking at Kurt with hopeful eyes. "Are you coming to see us?"
Kurt was not sure the us means the Smythes or the Warblers, but he nodded and Lucas jumped up and down a little.
Sebastian smacked the back of Lucas' head. "You dumbass, he came to see the Warblers, not you!"
"I am a Warbler!" Lucas protested and shoved Sebastian's shoulder.
"Don't worry about them, it happens All The Time." Nick said and guided Kurt to sit between Jeff and himself.
"Stay and watch us practice! And we can go grab coffee or something." Jeff suggested.
Kurt smiled. "Alright, in fact, I need to tell you guys something."
Nick and Jeff were curious, but everyone had arrived in the choir room already and they needed to start practice. After a quick introduction of Kurt to the new members of the Warblers, Kurt sat back and watched the boys practice.
Kurt watched the boys in amusement, and for some time later, he realised he spent most of the time watching the Smythes, or should he said, Sebastian. He looks so different from last year; or maybe he just really didn't get to know him well. Apart that he's really good at seducing guys. (Bad thoughts Kurt! Stop)
But now Kurt sees a whole new side of him, under the devious smile, and seemingly mean to Lucas, he cares about his younger brother. Sebastian checks on his brother, throwing insults to Lucas after patting his shoulder or ruffle his hair like a caring big brother. Kurt sees the small crack of the that spoiled rich kid playboy image, and he wanted to know more.
After the Warbler practice, Kurt went to a small cafe off campus with Jeff, Nick and the Smythe brothers.
"Kurtie, tell me all the things we missed!" Jeff asked once they'd settled down at their seats.
"Where's Blaine by the way? It's rare not to see you two attached to each other."
Kurt and Sebastian tensed at the same moment. Jeff and Nick didn't notice but Lucas didn't miss it.
"Actually..." Kurt started, but he found it difficult to say.
"Princess just get it out already." Sebastian said in annoyance.
"I...me and Blaine, we broke up."
"WHAT?" Jeff and Nick almost spilled their coffee.
"It was a mutual decision, please don't ask anymore. I want things remain peaceful and friendly between us." Kurt looked down at his hands.
"No fucking way, you seriously forgave him?" Sebastian asked slightly angry in disbelief.
"What am I suppose to do then, huh? Tell everyone?"
"Fuck yeah! He's a fucking douche bag." Sebastian said matter-of-factly.
"He was drunk."
"I don't do that when I'm drunk."
"Whoa wait, what happened? Seb I thought you were dying to meet Blaine. What did Blaine do to Kurt?" Jeff asked.
"He tried to rape him." Sebastian said before Kurt could stop him.
"Blaine what?" Nick was shocked and angry. "Kurtie is that true? I will kick his ass!"
Kurt's face was flushed with anger and embarrassment. "Can we drop this? We broke up. He apologised. I want to move on."
Kurt's voice was shaking by now. "Sorry I think I should go..."
Kurt got up from his seat and ran out of the cafe, Sebastian ran his hand through his hair in frustration then he rose from his seat and ran after Kurt.
"Kurt! Wait!" Sebastian's long legs gave him an advantage as he caught up with Kurt in no time.
He grabbed Kurt's arm to stop him. "Stop! Wait, I'm sorry! I shouldn't have told them before you agreed."
"You Think?" Kurt yelled at him.
Sebastian was stunned by the Kurt in front of him, tears rolled down his cheeks. So much sadness in those beautiful eyes, it made his heart ache.
"I'm sorry." Sebastian couldn't think of any words to say. He had always sucked at comforting people.
"Do you know how angry I was when I saw Blaine today? He said he was sorry and hoped everything would go back to normal. And the thing is, I want to be angry and yell at him but I can't bring myself to do it because I still really, really care about him. After all this shit, I still care about Blaine! And I'm angry because this whole relationship turned out to be a big fucking disappointment!"
Sebastian didn't say anything but pulled Kurt into his arms. "Let it out...yell at me or whatever. Just let it out."
"I'm angry at myself because I never realised what we loved was not each other, but the idea of love! We just happened to be there when we wanted someone. And then I let a moment of weakness lead to being Blaine's boyfriend. The worst part is, when I started to realize I wanted something Blaine couldn't give me, I got scared! I got scared that if I risked leaving Blaine to search for it, I might end up with nothing. Not even the small affection from Blaine. And the fear of being alone, the weakness, led to this! And then I hate myself for not telling Blaine sooner and I let both of us get caught up in this imagination of love, and this whole thing went down in fucking 5 minutes!"
Kurt cried and cried, he leaned into Sebastian's hug because he couldn't even stand properly with his body shaking so violently.
"You left him. You did the right thing. Don't blame it on yourself. Don't hate yourself. If you want things remain peaceful, it's fine. Don't blame the whole thing on yourself."
"I hate being weak...I hate it..."
"Don't do that to yourself." Sebastian's voice was full of sadness and it surprised Kurt.
"Don't t-tell anyone about this please."
"I won't."
"Thank you...sorry."
"Stop saying sorry. It's fine." Sebastian rubbed Kurt's shoulder gently.
"Please tell Jeff and Nick I'm sorry. And Lucas, he probably thinks I'm crazy now." Kurt said, after a few minutes, when he finally calmed down.
"Please, it's Lou. No one beats his craziness."
Kurt actually laughed. The Smythe brothers seemed to have the power to make him smile even in a terrible moment.
"Thanks."
"Oh god stop saying thanks and sorry. You're giving me headache." Sebastian teased Kurt with a playful tone.
"Fine."
Kurt finally moved out of Sebastian's arms. "I'm calm down now. I'm good. I'm gonna go home and sleep or whatever."
"Good, and stop blaming everything on yourself."
Kurt smiled weakly to him and walked toward his car.
"Hey Kurt!" Sebastian called after him.
Kurt turned and looked at him.
"You know, you can let yourself be weak once in a while, if you wanna talk..."
"I will."
Sebastian watched Kurt drive away and he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding.
