When Kurt got back to his room he was still angry, he couldn't fathom how Sebastian kept getting under his skin the way he did. Normally he'd brush of Sebastian comments in the same way he would Santana's. He understood that some people are just naturally sarcastic or bitchy like Santana and he accepted her for who she was and in some-ways he would be like Blaine and Hunter are with Sebastian. He knew that they accepted Sebastian the same way he did Santana, so why couldn't he let it go when Sebastian said something? It gave Kurt a headache just thinking about it, so in the end he gave up and went to bed.

Kurt was asleep when Hunter returned from the restaurant and with getting ready to leave in the morning to go to their Grandma's they'd hadn't spoken about the events of the previous night. Hunter knew you couldn't force Kurt to talk if he wasn't ready, but he couldn't help but wonder what was going through Kurt's mind.

''So you got back okay then... last night?'' Hunter knew it was a stupid question but he had to bring it up some how.

Kurt rolled his eyes and accepted that he couldn't get out of this conversation unless he pulled the car over and kicked Hunter out on the side of the highway and even he couldn't be that cruel to anyone even 'the smirky ill-mannered Meerkat' Sebastian.

"Yeah I got a cab quickly actually and was in bed within an hour thanks for asking." Kurt kept his eyes on the road.

"Blaine worried about you, so maybe you could send him a text when we get to Grandma's so he can stop blaming himself for the amateur dramatics last night." Hunter slowly mouthed a countdown from three.

"Why in hell would he blame himself, it was the jackass' fault for being such a dick to someone who's meant to one of his best friends?" Kurt's grip tighten on the steering wheel as he came of the highway and headed towards his Grandma's house.

"Blaine's like that. He doesn't like conflict so that's why he avoids it."

"So what you're saying is that's a good reason for Sebastian to get away with it. I'd thought better of you letting him do that to your friend or don't we stand up to some ass who thinks he's better than everyone because he has money, goes to a private school and daddy's just way to busy to teach him good manners and common decency?" Kurt had added the tone of challenge as well as mild anger as he spoke.

Hunter grew angry with the tone coming of his cousin, " I don't let him get away with anything actually Kurt. I just don't raise the issues in a crowded restaurant and you for someone who doesn't like to be judged you not doing to bad a job of it yourself at the moment."

"Well letting the moment pass so you can talk to him hours later in private doesn't seem to work now does it? I'm all for being a gentleman and not making a scene but I will not let some one embarrass or ridicule my friends or family in public either. Maybe a taste of his own medicine might teach him something. And I gave him no reason to judge me, but he however has supplied plenty and if he can do it so can I." Kurt took a deep breath as he tried to clam down. He didn't want to argue over this.

Hunter let Kurt's words sink in, "Yeah you do have a point and maybe he does need a wake call, he was pretty shocked when the wait staff gave you around of applause when you left and don't think anyone's dismissed him like that either, by the way that's got to be the best diva storm out I've seen." Hunter started to laugh breaking the tension in the car.

Kurt loved how Hunter could go from serious to fun, "You ain't seen nothing till you've been to a New Direction's practice, there are some serious diva attitudes going on there. I'm beginning to think The Warblers might be to boring for me."

"Hey, just because we don't all sing our feelings at each other doesn't make us boring."

"Yeah you guys can't be that boring, you have your own Simon Cowell to tell you what's what."

"I'm beginning to think you can't stop talking about Sebastian. I also think you're fight your attraction to him." Hunter roared with laughter as Kurt fake gagged.

Sebastian had been unusual quiet on the way back to Dalton and had remained so when he and Blaine got back to their room. Blaine had never known Sebastian like this, normally he would be plotting revenge on anyone that had got the better of him like Kurt had. Blaine didn't know what to say or even how to broach the subject, so he just got ready and climbed into bed.

"Blaine is what Kurt said true?" Sebastian's voice came across the darkness of the room.

Blaine knew Sebastian didn't like having personal conversations so these only happened when something really bothered him. Blaine liked to think the darkness gave Sebastian protection from anyone knowing that he really did have feelings. The last time they had talked in the dark was when Luke had broken Sebastian's heart and after that Luke was never mentioned by Sebastian again.

"What part?"

"Well I already know that I'm sarcastic and have a sharp tongue so that's a given. So I guess it's about the part about why and you nerd-boy aren't dating."

"Not everyone understands you like I do, so they tend to judge on what you say."

"Blaine I love you like a brother stop pussy footing around and answer the question."

"Yes, it's one of the reasons we're not dating. He just doesn't understand you're just trying to look out for me and you don't mean the stuff you say to him."

"So when you know I'm out of line why still defend me?"

"You're my best friend and if James can't understand that than we can't move forward as a couple."

"I don't deserve you." Blaine barely heard the words as Sebastian whispered them.

"Everyone deserves someone, both a best find and someone to love them for who they are. You're no different. You've got the best friends part down, you just need the other."

The room is silent for a couple of minutes, " I think I'd like that. Good night Blaine."

Blaine smiled to himself, "Yeah, you and Kurt will make a great couple once you get your act together cause he's already shown he won't take any of your crap. Goodnight Sebastian, see you in the morning"

Sebastian didn't respond to what Blaine had said.

Kurt sat at the dinning table not believing what he was hearing. His own Grandmother was sitting there singing the praises of Sebastian Smthye. It was like he had entered the twilight zone.

"So handsome and polite."

"Grandma are you sure you're talking about the same boy here?"

Hunter couldn't hold in the smile bursting across his face," Yes Pippin I do believe she is."

"Don't you start Merry. He's obviously pulled the wool over Grandma's eyes and you're not helping."

"I can assure you Kurtis that even though I may be old, that I'm not stupid. No-one pulls the wool over my eyes and I can assure you that I'm a very good judge of character. Sebastian may be a little brash but his life has been lived in a family that are in the public eye, so his mistrust and his abrasive edge is a form of self protection, very much like your own even if yours is for very different reasons. He reminds me of how your Grandfather used to be as a young man and he came good in the end. You could do a lot worse than Sebastian at least he'd protect you and you'd never be bored."

"That's what I said Grandma. That's why I thought they'd get on. Do you think they'd make a good match?"

Kurt looked at Hunter and mouthed to him 'suck up'.

"Why, yes they would once they learn to trust each other a true power couple and Kurtis your cousin isn't a 'suck up' as you put it so eloquently," Kurt's mouth dropped open,"When will you boys learn Grandma see's everything."

The lunch continued as the conversations turned to other things and Kurt and Hunter headed back to Dalton so Kurt could rehearse for his audition tomorrow after classes.

Kurt headed down to music room once he and Hunter returned to Dalton after lunch. As he looked around he was once again reminded of the advantages of going to this school. At McKinley if you wanted to learn how to play an instrument you had to take lesson's outside of school due to the lack of resources and facilities but Dalton had it all, a beautiful room that housed an abundance of instruments and top of the range sound and recording equipment.

Kurt slowly made his way over to the beautiful Steinway in the corner. He ran his fingers over the keys as he sat down on the stool. Kurt understood that The Warblers were an a cappella group and he knew he would nail the audition if he just stood and sang the song with no accompaniment but he wanted to make an impact and maybe send a message to a certain person.

Kurt closed his eyes and started to play the melody and started to sing the words.

"Wow, Hunter is that Kurt practising for tomorrow?" Blaine had now stopped to listen outside the door of the music room.

Hunter smiled at his friend, "Yeah, he's the only guy I know that can sing from low to that high like that. Once we pick up the coffee why don't you come to my room and I'll show the videos Kurt's got of The New Directions, if their teacher actually used all the talent they've got in that group they'd be unstoppable. Come let's go, leave Pippin to practice."

Bit of a filler chapter, coming Kurt's first day and Warbler audition. Hope you enjoyed, love or hate please review.

All mistakes are my own and once again sorry if it spoils your enjoyment.
