A/N: OH. MY. GOD. I'm sorry this took so long! Is just that I'm on holidays (yay) and I don't have as much free time as before and updating this has been KILLING ME for the past couple of weeks! :S

Again, thanks for all the story alerts! They mean a lot to me! :D

And, here is Chapter 8:

Chapter 8:

Blaine sits on his bed staring at the hotel's white telephone that lies currently on his lap. He's been like this for twenty minutes now (and fifteen more, earlier, before going to the bathroom and then resuming his position again, continuing to wait), deciding whether or not to dial the number painted on his palm. Blaine glances at the clock. 12:53. Maybe he's still sleeping, he thinks. He always was a morning person, though. His mind contradicts itself. He has been like this since he woke up: making a decision, only to contradict it himself afterward over and over again, never deciding what to do. Grunting in frustration, Blaine slumps backwards on the bed.

With a sigh, he sits up again, leaves the phone on the bedside table as it used to be and gets up from the bed, walking to the minibar and getting a water bottle from it. Even with the phone now on top of the nightstand, Blaine still wonders if calling Kurt is a good idea. Well, he did give you his number, right? Why would he give it to you if he didn't want you to call? He raised an eyebrow and tilted his head to the side slightly at that, considering the thought. Maybe he was just doing it because he felt awkward, but didn't actually want you to call him…

With a groan, Blaine leaves the water bottle on the table and runs his hands through his hair in frustration. When he opens his eyes again, a coin next to the bottle catches his attention. Maybe it isn't the best solution, but it will do.

Grabbing the coin, Blaine goes to sit on his bed again and turns the coin between his fingers, looking at it. "This is stupid" He mutters out loud and drops the coin on the mattress, covering his face on his hands and supporting his elbows on his knees.

With a sigh, he stands up yet again and walks to where his laptop is and sits down on the chair in front of it. Maybe browsing through the internet would clear his mind a little bit.

Blaine is scrolling, not even reading what shows on the laptop screen, too preoccupied still thinking what he should do. He drops his head on the table, his mind still torturing him.

Opening his eyes, he looks at his laptop screen and a picture catches his attention. Sitting up, he clicks on it and reads the message on it:

"When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air, you suddenly know what you are hoping for."

The timing for the photo to come up seems completely surreal for him and he looks back at the coin on the bed and he stares at it still in disbelief. "I must be insane" He mutters to himself as he rises up from the chair and walks back to the bed and sits on it, grabbing the coin again.

"Heads, I call him; tails, I don't." He decides confident, and with a sigh and a nod he pushes the coin upwards with his thumb, throwing it up in the air.

If it is heads, Blaine will call Kurt. He will hear from him again, and they would most likely arrange on a day to meet again. Blaine will see Kurt again. Of course, it would not be like the old days, but they would be spending time together talking; catching up. Blaine could ask about Sebastian again, determined to know why Kurt moved on. Maybe they could talk about Kurt's - and Sebastian's – children. And maybe – just maybe – they could talk about them. Blaine would get so many answers, if only the coin landed heads up.

But, if the coin landed on tails, Blaine would not be calling Kurt anytime soon, following whatever the coin said, seeing he himself was nowhere near making the decision by himself. Kurt would not be calling him, seeing as he didn't have any way of reaching Blaine. If it was tails, Blaine would not have to talk to Kurt, and – while he wanted to know about Kurt - that would avoid talking about the last seven years from Blaine's point of view. He didn't want to remember. Everything was just too fresh in his mind; he wouldn't be able to talk about it just yet.

The coin landing on his hands brought him back to reality.

He already made his decision and knows what the hopes the coin landed as.

Closing his eyes, Blaine takes a big breath and takes his hand on top of the coin away. Slowly, he opens his eyes and stares at the coin, a breathe leaving his mouth.

Tails.

He looks at it in disbelief, still not grasping the fact that he won't talk to Kurt. A feeling of disappointment settles inside him and a frown appears on his face.

Closing his hand into a fist, trapping the coin inside it, Blaine decides to ignore what the coin decided and he grabs the phone back from the nightstand, pulling it on top of his lap again.

Blaine puts the handset in between his right shoulder and ear, opens his left hand and with the other he starts dialling the number that is already a little blurred since last night. Not the first ring sounds before he slams the handset down on the phone, eyes wide open, as a thought strikes him: What if Sebastian answers?

Taking a few deep breaths, Blaine resumes to his last position, dialling the number again. I can't keep going like this, dammit! If Sebastian answers well, then… tough. He grabs the handset tightly and straightness his back, marking the number all over again. His leg starts jumping up and down frantically from nerves as the phone rings and he waits.

After the fourth ring, Blaine is about to hang up. Maybe they were sleeping after all. But just as he was about to pull the receiver away, a voice sounds from the other end.

"Hello?"

-O-

With breakfast served and eaten, Anna and Matthew both go to the backyard to play. Their yells and laughs fill the air as Sebastian and Kurt clean the table and the dishes together in silence, neither willing to bring up last night's topic. Kurt didn't want Sebastian to bring up Blaine; and Sebastian didn't want Kurt to bring up why he started crying that morning.

After they were finished, Sebastian went outside to play with the kids to whatever game they decided upon. Leaning on the counter table with both hands, Kurt smiled and looked outside through the window before glancing at the clock. 12:37AM. He should start making launch soon. They just finished eating and he is not hungry himself, but he knows how Matthew is when it comes to food: always hungry. Sebastian is the same, for that matter. If he didn't know better, Kurt would still think Sebastian was still a teenager who eats non-stop and never gets enough.

Seeing they just had breakfast, Kurt thinks on what food he could make that wouldn't be so heavy for them, finally deciding on making a salad, as well as smashed potatoes and chicken nuggets for the kids.

Putting the potatoes in boiling water, Kurt proceeds to prepare the salad. The clock is slowly ticking by as he cooks, and soon enough Kurt is nearly finishing with launch when the phone rings.

Kurt looks up from the casserole he's stirring at the noise. There is a second ringand

Kurt sighs, whispering a low, "dammit!", looking down at the casserole - seeing he can't stop moving the spoon now. As Matthew enters the kitchen, Kurt asks, "Hey Matt, can you answer that? I can't-" He doesn't get to finish talking as another ring sounds.

As the fourth ring is starting, Matthew gets enough time to get to the phone and manages to answer it just as the ring is ending.

"Hello?"

-O-

Blaine freezes as someone answers the phone. With just that simple 'hello' Blaine is definitely certain that Kurt was not the one who answered and he doesn't know how to react.

"Hello?" The voice repeats again.

Apparently Blaine froze for too long, as he doesn't get the chance to introduce himself before he hears the line going dead.

-O-

"Who was that?" Kurt asks, looking at Matthew over his shoulder as he re-enters the kitchen. At the same time, Sebastian, carrying Anna, comes inside from the backyard, setting the girl on a chair.

"I don't know" The boy answers shrugging. "There was no answer." He adds.

Not giving it much attention, Kurt continues what he was doing. Sebastian grabs a few drinks from the refrigerator and serves himself a glass, as well as a little in a small plastic cup for Anna.

-O-

Once again, Blaine is back to the same problem as before and debates whether or not to call again. He runs a hand through his hair and his sight lands on the coin he flipped before that he left on the bedside table. "You suddenly know what you are hoping for" Blaine goes over the line.

Picking up again the phone, he dials the number yet once more and waits for someone to pick up.

"Hello?" A different voice asks this time.

The different voice causes Blaine to freeze again. Despite thinking he would be able to answer this time, the panic that settles within him proves the contrary. Still, Blaine forces himself to answer back this time.

"Uhm… Hi…" voice slightly awkward. "Is- is Kurt there?" He asks as nerves take over him. "I- I'm Blaine." He adds, stuttering a little and cursing himself for doing so.

Blaine hears a sharp, deep breath being taken in on the other end.

-O-

Just as he finishes his drink, the phone rings again. This time, Sebastian is the one that answers it.

"Hello?"

When the person on the other hand answers, Sebastian freezes a little bit, taking a deep breath. "Hi… Blaine" He replies, teeth clenched together and putting emphasis on the name. Kurt's eyes go wide at the mention of the name and he quickly turns off the stove and cleans his hands on a dishcloth as he walks fast towards Sebastian, meal forgotten. But Sebastian keeps talking to Blaine, as if not taking notice of this. "It's me, Sebastian…"

"Oh, hey Sebastian" Blaine answers from the other end, voice clearly awkward. After a small silence, he adds "How- how are you?"

Kurt reaches Sebastian and is now trying to take the phone away from him, but Sebastian keeps him away with the hand that is not currently holding the phone, and he inclines his elbow to make it harder for Kurt to take it away from him.

"I'm fine, Blaine. How about you?" Sebastian continues, with fake interest, while still sounding the opposite.

Kurt is fighting against his hold to take the phone away from him.

"I-I'm good, thanks I-" Blaine doesn't really want to talk to Sebastian right now, but he has no choice. He stops when he hears murmurs of 'Sebastian, give it to me' and 'I'm being serious, c'mon!' "S- Sebastian?" Blaine adds, confused at the background noises.

Kurt managed to take the phone away from Sebastian and Blaine can hear from the other end that Kurt is saying, "I told you to give it to me", voice muffled (probably by him trying to hold a hand on top of the speaker) and continuing, "go check on the food, please".

"Blaine, hi! Sorry about that. How are you?" Kurt apologizes as a worried Sebastian goes back to the kitchen.

"Yeah, no- no worries… I'm good, thanks. What about you?" Blaine's nerves are still there as well as the awkwardness set from the conversation he overheard, feeling as if he eavesdropped.

"I'm great." Kurt answers and as a new silence is formed – if only for only a few seconds – Kurt carries on, "So, what's up? Why did you call?"

"Oh, uhm-" Blaine is taken a little bit by surprise as he kind of forgot in the distraction that another person besides Kurt answered the phone, and not only that but that it was Sebastian himself.

"Kurt! I think this is ready" Sebastian comes from a clearly large distance, somewhere in the house, interrupting Blaine mid-sentence.

"Just a sec!" Kurt yells back, not bothering to hold the phone too far from his mouth as he does so, forcing Blaine to push the receiver a little away from his ear. Blaine puts it back to his ear when the yell is not heard anymore, just in time to listen to Kurt say, "Sorry, what were you saying?"

"Oh, uhm…" Blaine is again lost for words and he shakes his head a little before deciding. "You know if- if you can't talk right now, I- Kurt?" Blaine frowned as he could sense Kurt was not listening.

Kurt was signing Sebastian to wait, that he would be over soon, as Sebastian had signed him to hurry, that food was apparently ready. The mention of his name caught his attention and he turned from Sebastian to pay full attention to Blaine. "Sorry. What?"

"That if you couldn't talk right now, it's okay… I- I can call you later?" He repeated uncertainty in his voice.

"What? Hey no, c'mon what is it?" Something inside of Kurt didn't want to stop talking to Blaine just yet. After so many years apart, he felt he needed to be – if only on the phone – with him, even if they saw each other and talked just last night.

Blaine knew that Kurt was probably still being called by Sebastian. "Nothing too important, really…" He lied. "Just- I'll call you later ok?"

Not convinced but with Blaine's awkwardness clear, Kurt answered, "Okay, but you promise you'll call, right?"

"Yeah… bye, Kurt" Blaine said goodbye quickly, feeling uncomfortable and wanting to finish the conversation.

"Bye" Kurt managed to get out just as the line went dead.

-O-

When Kurt approached Sebastian, he asked "What did he want?" forced kindness in his voice, as well as a fake smile on his face.

With a small frown still on his face, Kurt answered, "He didn't say, he said he'll call later…"

A moment of tension fell between the two of them and Sebastian decided to break it. "Are you-?"

"Seb, no, Stop." Kurt interrupted. "We're not talking about it, okay?"

"You didn't even know what I was going to say!" Sebastian exclaimed, gesturing with his hands.

"Yes, I did. Now, we are not talking about it." Kurt decided.

"Kurt, we have to-"

"Sebastian!" Kurt interrupted again. "I told you no!" He continued exasperated.

"Kurt! Can you stop pretending that everything is fine when it's so clearly not?!" Sebastian raised his voice, getting angry.

Matching his tone, Kurt shot back, "I'm not! Will you just-"

Kurt was broken up by Matthew, who had been noticed by neither Sebastian nor Kurt, and was standing by the door with Anna. Between the shouting of the two adults, he spoke up, yelling too, "Stop!"

At his voice, Kurt turned around, anger quickly replaced by surprise. His eyes, as well as Sebastian's – which had roamed towards the door, but not moving his body in doing so -, were widened at the shout and at the sight that they found.

Matthew had a frown on his face and even looked angry. His hands here covering Anna's ears and her face was crumbled with confusion.

Sebastian, Kurt and Matthew were all breathing a little harsher than normal as they stared at each other.

Sebastian took a deep breath and started walking towards the door where Matthew and Anna were still standing, not moving – except for Matthew moving his hands from Anna's ears and placing them on her chest, holding her close to him; protecting her. "Later" Sebastian whispered to Kurt, tone severe.

"No" Kurt whispered back, tone harsher.

"Guys! Do you want to help dada finish setting up the table?" Sebastian ignored Kurt, placing a smile on his face.

Anna broke off of Matthew's hold, excitedly yelling "Yeah!" and jumping to Sebastian's arms.

"What about you, Matt? You coming?" Sebastian asked Matthew with the little girl on his arms.

Matthew didn't answer. Instead he stared sternly at Sebastian with a frown still on his face, before looking the same way at Kurt and, without a word, he went inside to his room, ignoring the, "Matt!" Kurt yelled in order to stop him as he was leaving the kitchen.

As Sebastian grabs four napkins and gives them to Anna, a door being slammed is heard from upstairs and Kurt and Sebastian look at each other, still not sharing another word.

Setting Anna on the floor, Sebastian walks with her hand in hand outside to set up the table outside.

Kurt looks through the window as they walk and drops his head down, holding himself up on with his arms stretched out and hands on the countertop, grasping it tightly.

Anna's voice makes Kurt look up again, with a pained expression taking over his face.

"Papa, were you and daddy fighting?" Anna asks innocently and Kurt feels a sharp sting in his heart at the question.

Taken by surprise, Sebastian finds it a little hard to answer, but he still does. "No baby girl…" He lies. "Sometimes…" He tries to explain "Uhm… Sometimes… adults have little disagreements, you know? Just like when you and Sarah disagree on which dress is the prettiest" Sarah was one of Anna's friends. Her parents lived a few houses down, and were friends with Sebastian and Kurt. Anna nodded a little, as she understood what his dad was explaining to her.

"Don't worry about it, okay?"

Convinced, Anna answers, "Okay, dada…"

As Sebastian and Anna set the table, Kurt finishes serving food in different recipients.

Not exchanging a single word with Kurt, Sebastian goes back inside only to grab a couple of sodas to put at the table while Kurt carries the food there.

Sebastian breaks the silence, with a cold tone, not even looking at Kurt while talking. "I'm going to call Matt" he starts walking and can basically feel Kurt about to protest, and he adds "you guys start without us or it will get cold". With that, he walks inside the house, to Matthew's room.

A/N: WELL THAT'S DONE! Asdfghjkl sigh.

Ok. So. I've been told to change the story to Kurtbastian because, basically, having it as Klaine was bullshit. Truth is, I never planned on making it SO MUCH Kurtbastian in the first place… the story made a 180° plot twist midway through it and I'm sorry… but tbh if I change it to Kurtbastian, then on Klaine scenes people will make the same judgement about the story "not being Kurtbastian at all"… so I'm gonna leave it as Klaine for now, and change it when the story is done, if it ends up being Kurtbastian… Just for the record, if you don't like it, you don't need to read it obviously.

ANYWAY. Thank you guys so much for reading, reviewing, favouring, and, also, being patient! :S

Let me know what you thought of this one!

Until next time!
