A/N:

...and then it suddenly felt like this story needed more, so darn, I am back, working on this instead of other things.

Would love feedback. Anyone for virtual cookies in thanks? Freshly imagined, I assure you.

Takers?

Must be all that talk of longing that makes me think of cookies, I long for those all the time.

Enjoy!

Pining Away Without You

Santana does not know how she did it, but somehow they are all here, in one room.

With the way people are looking at each other though, she is not so certain anymore it was that brilliant an idea as it had presented itself to be in her mind.

But then again, it had not been the original plan at all to bring all of them here, not before she had talked to Kurt and Blaine alone.

Santana is rolling her eyes, really at herself, But they don't need to know that, so a moment later she goes back to glaring at all three of them, all the while thinking, URGH! How did I get involved in this again? Oh, right, Smythe.

As Brittany walks back into Santana's room with drinks in hand, there is no mistaking the way in which all of Santana's face lights up instantly with a soft smile at seeing her girlfriend.

Brittany is placing the tray on Santana's desk when she is pulled into Santana's arms.

There are some spills as the glasses totter for a moment, but the two girls don't care already kissing deep, Brittany's hands on Santana's waist, pulling her closer, Santana's both on Brittany's cheeks.

Blaine would usually shift a little and let out a slightly uncomfortable cough to remind them they are not alone, not today.

Not right now, not with Sebastian and Kurt in the same room, a closed space, Crap! How did I get myself into this. His eyes keep wandering between the other two boys who are currently glaring at each other. Clearly both itching to say something or go at each other's throats, More likely, actually! Blaine thinks shuddering.

"Santana, please, stop kissing Brittany and tell us why we are here," Kurt snaps a second later, and Blaine flinches lightly at the icy tone, he knows is in part directed at himself.

I have screwed up so much, I so deserve it, Blaine thinks, but that does not change the fact that the stab he feels goes right to his heart. Being with Kurt I had almost forgotten what misery feels like.

And he has screwed up, big time, but much worse to Blaine, Kurt apparently has chosen to ignore anything is wrong at all, well he had those last days. Blaine is not sure what this here is right now. Blaine is sure though that Kurt treating him as usual, loving and caring and, WAHH, just URGH!… "THIS is driving me insane Kurt!"

"Dolphin, why are you shouting?" Brittany, eyes wide, asks turning to Blaine as she moves to link hands with Santana.

But Blaine is focused on Kurt, "Love," a snort from Sebastian interrupts him and Blaine turns his head for a moment to glare at him, "You stay out of this. The first thing I do when I get home is erase you from all my online contact lists."

Blaine lets out a deep sigh then turns his attention back to Kurt, "Love, I am so sorry."

"I don't want you to be sorry." Kurt's reply is short and simple, and that is why Blaine distrusts it.

If this whole situation is anything it so isn't simple.

"I am, sorry though, and I wish you would let it out, please, just…I cannot take it anymore. I have been so STUPID and you are nothing but sweet to me. I get it Kurt, I deserve to torture myself over this. It hurts so much to know, and believe me I do, that I have hurt you like that. I need you to allow me to try and apologize please. This is killing me." Blaine adds a moment later, voice that cared a slight desperation before now shaking and broken, "This can't kill us."

Then the tears come, and with them only a split second later Kurt's arms around him.

Blaine hugs Kurt around the waist and buries his face, still crying, in Kurt's shoulder.

"I am so sorry, Love."

"I forgive you Blaine." There is silence for a moment then, "I did not know what to do. I can't control who you are friends with. I don't want our relationship to be that anyway, never have. I am fine with picking out a bowtie for you from time to time, you know. Your friends are, well, your friends," Blaine nods into Kurt's shoulder, so Kurt goes on, "I just, I thought if I ignore it, I know it would not be a solution. But at least it would allow me to be with you a little longer. I was so sure I would lose you I did not mean for it to upset you, I did not realize you thought I was ignoring it all to have you torture yourself over it. I really din't. It hadn't even corssed my mind. Yes, I was upset for a while, but more scared I am losing you, to him, over him."

Blaine looks up and connects eyes with Kurt's, whoes are full of tears now too as Kurt chokes out, "Please tell me I haven't…lost you."

Blaine grabbing Kurt's face with both hands is staring into Kurt's eyes with such intensity, demanding his attention so fully, that Kurt knows whatever is said next, there will be no room for doubt, discussion or change in it.

Kurt swallows hard, well, he tries, but there is that stupid lump in his throat.

Your eyes are so soft, so warm, home, I can't lose you, oh please tell me I haven't lost you, Kurt can feels his whole body aching with fear.

Blaine's voice is just as soft, as warm and full of love, "I have been looking for you forever."

And this time it is Kurt who buries himself in Blaine's embrace, his face in the crook of Blaine's neck, placing a soft-lipped kiss in the one spot that only he knows drives Blaine crazy, and Blaine has to smile wide at the intimate gesture that means so much more than anyone else in the room knows.

As Kurt and Blaine kiss, a kiss that is quickly deepened by both boys, Brittany moves to rest her head on Santana's left shoulder and whispers, "You know, Tana, I have heard dolphins don't mate for life. I think that isn't true."

Santana turns her head to the left and smiling places a kiss into Brittany's hair, "I think you are right Brittany. And either way, there are exceptions to everything."

It is only now that Santana notices the door to her room is standing wide open. She is sure Brittany had closed it before. Then she notices more.

"Sebastian is gone."

A/N:

If you want to know what in my imagination is going on with Sebastian, and how the whole Klaine and Sebastian chaos will play out, just let me know. I think I have one or two more chapters for this in me.

Thanks for reading!
