Sebastian scanned the bar looking for Kurt and Hunter, trying to push his run-in with Luke out of his head.

"Hello Sebastian, haven't seen you here for a while."

"Hi, no I haven't been for a while, now I remember why." Sebastian threw the boy a look of disdain.

Luke started to play with the buttons on Sebastian's shirt, "Come now Sebby, you know you miss me. And that twink you were all over can't come close to what we had, babe."

"Luke, you might be accomplished between the sheets but you lack any depth that would make me interested in more than that. That twink has more class and self-respect in his little toe than you have in your whole body."

"Still sore about the Daddy thing I see. You really have to get over that Sebby, then maybe we could be friends again." Luke pushed into Sebastian's space and, clamping his hand around the back of Sebastian's head, pulled him forward into a kiss.

Sebastian froze as Luke forced his tongue between Sebastian's lips. As Sebastian's brain caught up, he placed his hands on Luke's shoulders and pushed him away.

"Get the fuck off me, slut." Sebastian grew angry, "I've got nothing you want or need so you can just leave me the fuck alone."

"Your little friends took what I needed away from me when they told tales on me. And now by the looks of things," Luke looked over Sebastian's shoulder and saw Hunter and the twink leaving, "you may have lost a couple of friends now." Sebastian turned to see were Luke was looking, but all he saw was Thad talking to Blaine and Simon.

Blaine couldn't believe Sebastian could screw up this badly. He'd got everything he wanted and then in a matter of minutes, it all turned to shit. Blaine had told Sebastian not to pursue Kurt if he wasn't over Luke and he also told him not to hurt Kurt. He felt caught in the middle, unable to find any defense for his friend this time. As soon as Thad told him about Luke and Sebastian he immediately thought of Kurt, Blaine had seen Kurt and Sebastian on the dance floor and when they finally kissed, he had to admit he'd had a fan-girl moment.

Sebastian walked towards Blaine and as he got closer, his smile started to drop, "Blaine..."

"Don't you Blaine me. How could you do that? You told me you liked him..." Sebastian stood just staring at Blaine as he ranted at him, "You do realize Hunter is going to kill you, don't you? You'll lose any credibility you have left at school for this one."

"Hang on a second, I only kissed him, he seemed to like it..." Suddenly it dawned on Sebastian what was happening when he failed to spot Kurt and Hunter, "Blaine, that with Luke wasn't what it looked like. It was all him I swear."

"According to Thad it didn't look one-sided at all. In fact it looked very much like you and your ex were getting reacquainted. It took a lot for Kurt to start letting you in and then you go do this."

Sebastian was becoming frustrated , "I've never lied to you Blaine, I'll admit I've done a lot of shitty things to people in the past but I did not do this. You have to believe me. Thad may have seen Luke kiss me but I didn't kiss back, I pushed him away."

"God Sebastian, why the hell didn't you just walk away as soon as he spoke to you?" Sebastian couldn't answer. "How are we going to fix this mess? Hunter's not going to let you within a mile of Kurt."

"I've got to talk to him Blaine. I have to explain." Sebastian began to panic, "We better get back, I can't just leave this. What must he be thinking? When I kissed him, Blaine, it was one of the best moments of my life, it felt so right and now it's all gone."

"Sebastian you need to calm down. Get it together. We'll think of something, I promise to get you a chance to explain but you're going to have to tell him everything."

Sebastian felt himself start to calm down, "Okay, good, let's go."

Blaine knocked on Hunter's and Kurt's door nervously playing with his fingers as he waited for an answer.

Hunter walked towards the door and opened it, "I see he took the cowardly approach and sent you to sort out his mess for him. Well you can scurry right back and tell him to fuck off." Hunter went to close the door in Blaine's face.

"Hunter please, he did send me, you're right, but I stopped him coming himself." Blaine pleaded.

"So what, you can still tell him to go fuck himself, he's not talking to him and neither are you." Hunter shut the door in Blaine's face.

Blaine had never seen Hunter so unwilling to talk about anything before, this was going to be harder than he thought. He braced himself and knocked again.

Hunter pulled the door open again, "Did you not get the message last time, Anderson?"

"Hunter, I know you're angry, I get it, but you don't get to take it out on me. I only want to know if Kurt's okay. If he doesn't want to talk then let that be his decision. I'm not the bad guy here."

"No you're his best friend who cleans up after him and makes excuses for his behaviour, and if Kurt wanted to talk to you or him he would whether I said yes or no." Hunter was about to close the door again but he paused, "Blaine, you're mine and Kurt's friend too, try to remember that as well."

"That goes both ways, Hunter. I may make excuses for Sebastian but I never lie for him and you know that. I'm telling you what you both saw wasn't as clear-cut as you think. So before you write him off, hear him out. Kurt knows where to find him if he does want to hear his side of things." Blaine walked away, hoping he'd done enough.

"Did you hear any of that or do you need me to tell you what Sebastian's lacky said?" Hunter took a seat by Kurt and took his hand.

Kurt rested his head on Hunter's shoulder and sighed, "Blaine's not a liar, Hunter, we both know that. Don't be angry at him for trying to help a friend."

"Does this mean you want to talk to him or do you want me to go?" Hunter pulled Kurt into a hug.

"Would it be safe to let you go? It's hard to talk when every time he goes to speak you punch him." Kurt laughed into Hunter's shoulder, "And it's not like he cheated on me, is it, we only got to have one kiss."

"Neither of us have to Pippin. You could just leave it as a narrow escape if you want."

"I could, but part of me wants to know what he's got to say. And I'm also scared I've been played, so either way I need to know."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No Merry, I need you to smooth things over with Blaine. Knowing him, he feels like he's losing a friend now and, no matter what happens, neither of you deserve that." Hunter nodded and headedfor the door.

Kurt stood in front of the mirror and straightened himself out before leaving the room.

Sebastian sat down, hoping that Kurt would come. He held his head in his hands as he ran through all the things he wanted to say.

"You know talking to yourself is the first sign of madness." Kurt stepped into the dimly lit area.

Sebastian looked up with relief written all over his face, "You came."

"Hunter was going to come but I didn't want him going to prison for murder."

"I should have listened to him and not taken you to Scandals. I should have just asked you out and gone on a normal date like everyone else does. I'm so sorry you saw what happened, but I swear to you, he kissed me and I pushed him away."

"Sebastian, I'm not going to pretend I know what it's like to deal with an ex because I've never had one, but I saw that, for at least a couple of seconds, you didn't push him away. And to me that screams that your feelings for him haven't totally vanished. Maybe it's best if we leave it at that, I just want to know that our kiss wasn't part of some game you are playing." Kurt sat down next to Sebastian but didn't touch him.

"No you're not part of some game, I like you and I want to date you and I can tell you now that the only feeling I have for Luke is disgust. I froze when he kissed me because I wasn't expecting it and I'm almost certain he did it as an act of revenge."

"What do you mean revenge? I know you had some sort of bad break up, but revenge?"

"Yeah, revenge." Sebastian took a breath and started explaining, "Luke used to go to Carmel," Kurt raised an eyebrow, "Yes I know, it explains a lot about how I reacted to you when you first got here. Anyway, I met him at Scandals and we started dating. Me being younger, I fell for him big time. Friends started to tell me things like they'd seen him at the mall, restaurants or at the cinema with different guys but when I asked him, he told me that they were friends and that my friends were just snobs who didn't like him because he wasn't rich. So I started to cut my friends off, I looked like the biggest idiot defending Luke now I think about it."

"You loved him, you had no reason to doubt him. Yeah, your friends tried telling you but I've been at Dalton long enough to know that there are snobs who would do what Luke said to you."

"Thanks for that but I was an idiot."

Kurt gently put his hand on top of Sebastian's, "Go on."

"Luke started looking at colleges, and now and then would mention how he wouldn't mind a career in government. I didn't think too much of it at the time. So we'd been dating for eight months and all of a sudden, after never expressing an interest before, Luke wanted to meet my parents. And me being the lovesick puppy, I did exactly what he wanted. It turns out I'm more like my father than I knew, after the third time he had met Luke he called and said he wanted to talk to me. I went home that weekend after having a small argument with Luke because he wasn't allowed to come with me. My Dad sat me down in his office and explained to me that part of being a politician is you have take care about the people you have around you. And that many a great man or woman have had careers destroyed by trusting the wrong people. Then he told me about a phone call he received, from a college somewhere about a letter of recommendation they'd received from my father."

"Are you trying to tell me Luke forged it?"

"Turns out Luke had taken my father's headed paper and sent several letters on my father's behalf for several things he could benefit from. But it gets worse, my father's suspicions led to him doing a little digging, turns out that Luke was also dating the Police Chiefs daughter and the son of some big shot lawyer and connected to a couple of other important people who had also'written letters' for him."

"Oh Sebastian." Kurt started rubbing the back of Sebastian's hand.

" I confronted Luke. I don't know what I expected from him but it wasn't him laughing at me, that's for sure. He told me I was naïve and in the real world you did what you had to to get ahead, even if it meant dating a silly kid so he could get closer to his father. Funny thing is, he didn't count on collages checking out those letters or being investigated for fraud. Last night was the first time I'd seen him in ten months, I guess he's still pissed for getting caught."

"Wow, now I get why you reacted the way you did to me and how you read Quinn so well when you met her. I'm sorry you went through that."

"Kurt please, I didn't tell you so you'd feel sorry for me. Any feelings I had for Luke are gone, trust me on that. I told you so you'd understand why I froze for the few seconds I did, I hadn't heard from Luke since it all blew up and I was shocked at how he was acting towards me. It never crossed my mind that he had seen Blaine and Hunter or us dancing, the guy's twisted."

Kurt was taking in all the information Sebastian had given him, he reasoned with himself about what had happened. He only saw what happened briefly before he bolted and from wherehe'd stood, he couldn't see if Sebastian kissed back or not. Blaine's words from earlier flashed through his mind 'lie for him and you know that'. Sebastian had no reason to lie about anything so personal and tellinghim about it must have taken a lot.

"I left McKinley because of bullying, what I left out was I had my first real kiss stolen and the guy then threatened to kill me if I told."

" I don't know what to say. Why are you telling me?"

"Because you told me something, that I'm guessing very few people know all the details to and you trusted me with it. So this is me showing I trust you."

"Does Hunter know what happened?"

"He knows about the bullying and the death threat, he doesn't know about the kiss. Only three people do."

Kurt cupped Sebastian's face and looked directly into his eyes, "Me and you are a lot alike, neither likes to show weakness but we do need someone who can understand that. I guess that's why we gravitate towards each other. I'm not saying we're going have an easy ride but if you want I'll give it a go."

Sebastian's face lit up as a smile spreads across it, "Why Princess, are you asking me out?"

Kurt smiled back at Sebastian, "No, but if you ask, I may say yes if you're lucky. But I think we should steer clear of bars and evil exes with chips on their shoulders, don't you think?"

"Definitely."

Kurt leaned forward and gently kissed Sebastian. Sebastian wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist and pulled him closer.

Hope you all enjoyed it and now forgive me for Chapter 12. As always let me know what you think.
