Blaine drove as fast as possible back to Dalton. He felt so angry, and he felt paranoid.
He felt like The New Directions had given up too quickly. And that scared him.
It went so far that he even glanced behind him when a car was tail-gating him, making sure it wasn't them.
He didn't know why he cared so much. Hadn't he just made it obvious that he wouldn't be going back?
After the two hour drive, he was glad to see Dalton again. It truly did feel like a second home for him. He was at home with the Warblers.
Blaine knew he had to thank Hunter for that.
Sebastian hadn't been good for the Warblers. They had slowly become angry and vindictive. Sebastian's Warblers hadn't focused on singing.
They had been talented, all right, but they were more focused on screwing the New Directions over.
With Hunter, it would be different.
He entered his dorm room silently. Blaine had ended up in a dorm with Sebastian, of all people.
While Sebastian truly had turned over a new leaf, that didn't mean that they could just become best friends. Or anything more, contrary to his actions.
Blaine felt bad for leading Sebastian on, but he had been so angry at Kurt and Finn and The New Directions.
He really shouldn't have lost his temper. At least he had hopefully prevented an angry call from Kurt.
It would be just like Kurt to do that. He'd act angry that Blaine was finally finding himself again. Kurt would call and demand why Blaine had left the New Directions. Before, Blaine would have taken it. He would have apologized and probably have broken down for Kurt.
Not anymore.
He was done with Kurt and the New Directions.
Blaine walked into the dorm's bathroom. Distracted by his thoughts of Kurt, he kept his gaze on the floor. Immediately after entering, he locked the door, something he had taken to after Sebastian almost walked in (purposefully) on him taking a shower.
"I didn't know you were this desperate, killer." Blaine jumped, spinning around.
To his horror, Sebastian was standing there. He was wearing a thin towel around his hips.
Only a thin towel.
"Sorry," Blaine muttered, his face flaming. He went to unlock the door, his frantic hand reaching for the doorknob before he even turned around.
"Hey, don't be like that, killer," Sebastian purred. "I thought you proved something today."
"We are not together," Blaine stated, feeling slightly bad for his harsh tone. Why wasn't the door unlocking? "I got angry, and I did the thing that would annoy the New Directions the most. I'm sorry for leading you on."
"What?" Sebastian said, his face becoming an angry shade of red. "So you kissed me to make your ex jealous? Thanks, Blaine. I'm glad I mean something to you." Blaine continued to try and turn the lock. Had Sebastian done something to it? No, that was stupid. Sebastian's words registered in his head, and he stopped trying to unlock the door for a moment.
"Wha- no! Sebastian, you do mean something for me. We're friends, but right now, I can't trust you enough to be more than that," Blaine said, pleading him to understand.
For a minute, he thought Sebastian was going to become even angrier, but then he took a deep breath and calmed.
"Okay, Blaine," he said with a small, slightly forced smile. "I understand."
"You do?" Blaine asked, not believing how easy Sebastian was being.
"Yeah, and I realize that that's not a no. By the way, Blaine, the lock turns the other way."
"Oh, thanks," Blaine said with a sheepish smile. He turned the lock and left, closing the door behind him. Right before it closed, he stopped.
Through the crack, he said softly,
"And Sebastian, you really aren't a bad guy."

"What happened?" Rachel screeched, her voice becoming squeaky. Kurt winced. He was good with dealing with Rachel, but the squeaky voice – that was pushing it.
She was talking to someone back in Lima. They were probably gossiping. Kurt wanted to roll his eyes at the obvious drama, but he knew that as soon as Rachel hung up he'd ask her for it.
He really wasn't a hypocrite.
"Blaine did what?" she screeched again. Oh. It was about Blaine. Apparently he had done something strange – really strange – if Rachel wasn't just being over dramatic.
There was a bigger possibility that she was being over dramatic.
Kurt bit his lip, wondering what Blaine was up to at McKinley. Was he getting bullied? Sure, it had lightened up, but Blaine was now alone as the only out person at the school.
That was a lot of pressure.
And that was an easy target for any bully.
Then again, the Blaine Kurt knew wouldn't take that.
The Blaine he knew wouldn't have cheated either, but that happened, obviously.
Rachel, mouth wide open from shock, hung up the phone.
"Rachel?" Kurt asked immediately. "What's up with Blaine? What happened?" Rachel turned and met his eyes.
He could see the blank shock in the dark brown irises.
Okay, this was looking like it was a lot more complicated than he'd originally assumed.
"Blaine… Blaine went back to Dalton."
"What?" Kurt exclaimed. "How could he do that? I'm going to call-"
"Wait!" Rachel said. "You need to hear the rest of this."
"What?" Kurt demanded. He already had his phone in his hand.
"Finn went to go see him at Dalton. They actually planned it pretty well. He caught Blaine on the staircase when he was going to an impromptu performance."
"What?" Kurt exclaimed. "They imitated how we met? But that probably really hurt Blaine!"
"According to Finn it didn't. Blaine used nearly the exact wording of your first conversation… or was silent. Then, in the Senior Commons, Finn said that he 'sticks out like a sore thumb,' and Blaine said 'Next time don't come. You'll never fit in here.'"
"Ouch," Kurt said with a wince. "Blaine must have been really annoyed-"
"That's just it," Rachel said. "Finn said he really didn't look that annoyed. And then the Warblers all preformed "Dark Side.""
"Well, that sounds like Blaine thinks he fits in better at Dalton but still wants to be friends," Kurt put in.
"At the end, Blaine told Finn that McKinley was his dark side, and Dalton accepted that," Rachel said.
"What? No – Blaine – why'd he say that? They almost blinded him?"
"And that's not the worst," Rachel said quietly. "Kurt… I don't think you want to hear this…"
"Tell me, Rachel," Kurt demanded, worried for Blaine. He was acting so different.
"Finn said that you'd be disappointed in him-"
"He shouldn't have said that," Kurt cried.
"I know, Kurt," Rachel said, sounding annoyed at the disruption. "But Blaine walked over and kissed Sebastian. Then he said 'tell that to Kurt.'"
"Wh – what did he do?" Kurt asked, his eyes wide and mouth lying slightly opened.
"I'm sorry, Kurt," Rachel said, pulling him into a hug.
"N-no," Kurt stuttered. "We aren't together, but Sebastian hurt Blaine last year – so why…"
"I don't know," Rachel whispered. Finally, Kurt broke down, tears streaming down his cheeks.
"Anything else I should know about?" Kurt breathed with a bitter, shaky laugh. Rachel sighed.
"Yeah, actually," she said. "He went back to McKinley because the Warblers had taken the Nationals trophy."
"What?" Kurt exclaimed, still against Rachel's shoulder. "Blaine-"
"The Warblers's leader – it's not Sebastian anymore – took it. That's why Blaine went over to Dalton in the first place – to get it back. They must have convinced him to stay while he was there. But Blaine returned it because 'they must miss it because it's their only one.'"
"Why is he being so nasty to them?" Kurt said, taking his head off Rachel's shoulder.
"I don't know, Kurt. And Finn doesn't either. I think the only one that does is Blaine."
