Hello all!
So this is the 'before' section for my next chapter that will be out some point on Saturday or Sunday morning! I wanted this part to be in the chapter but it doesn't really fit so i decided it would be best to do this as a one shot!
Basically, this starts right where my last chapter finished off and right before my next chapter begins.
Hope you enjoy it! :)

"So," Carson said coily from where he was now sat on top of the kitchen side eyeing up Blaine as he leaned against the side sipping at his coffee. "Sleep well?" he asked taking a sip of his coffee, a devilish smirk on his face.
"You and Kurt looked pretty comfy this morning" Sebastian finished from where he was leaning next to him on the side. When Blaine looked to Sebastian, he saw the guilt and hurt in Blaine's eye's. Yet when he looked to Sebastian's all he saw was happiness and general interest. He knew that after their previous conversations that Sebastian was okay. He was okay with what was happening and how it was happening but he just couldn't understand how anyone could be so forgiving and rational.
Yes Blaine was Sebastian's first love and best friend in the entire world, and of course if he was in the same position he would forgive Blaine, eventually. He wasn't sure if he would be able to stand here and have discussions about him being in love my very recent ex. As much as he couldn't understand it, he completely respected Sebastian's decision and he felt extremely proud.
"Bas I," Blaine started as he made his way closer to where he was sat and Sebastian was stood. "Look we don't have to talk about this" he said sadly averting his gaze from them, "I know I'm the reason you two broke and Kurt and I are just friend's." Blaine shook his head sadly. Carson could see he was doing everything he could to try and stop himself from smiling and it was sickeningly adorable.
He glanced towards Sebastian then and he was genuinely smiling as he took a step towards Blaine, pulling him in for hug and pulling him close. This was the first time since everything had happened that they'd hugged. Yes they'd been out for coffee yesterday, they'd shaken hands, high-fived and all that but they'd never hugged. He was glad to see the peace restored.
Carson watched as Blaine wrapped his arms around Sebastian's waist carefully so not to spill his coffee, "I hate this Bas I'm," he started but wasn't given much chance to finish his apology just like Carson had expected. He couldn't help but smile as he watched his two younger friends interact together, the two of them had been distant for a while, ever since Kurt came in between them and he was glad to see they weren't letting Kurt do that any more, not that he was doing it intentionally in the first place.
"Blainey shut it" Sebastian using his old nick name and taking his hand, pulling back to look at him. "We're all fine okay? I love you and I forgive you and we're all going out today so stop being a four year old and let us enjoy our coffee while we talk about your feelings for the boy next door. Okay?" He more or so demanded with a small smile.
Carson was just sat on the outlines watching the two boys and he was so happy and proud of what he saw. They were acting like grown ups now, not children like he'd seen before. Blaine was doing his best not to cry while Sebastian was now playfully glaring at him and trying not to smile. After a minute or two of just watching each other, trying to one up each other, Blaine caved first. He nodded and dropped his gaze "yeah okay Bas. Yeah okay" he said smiling back at him.
The two shared another moment before everyone went back to their previous spots before the conversation picked up exactly where it left off.. "You and Kurt looked pretty comfy this morning" Sebastian said with a huge grin on his face, which only seemed to make Blaine blush just like he had just now. It was as if someone had pressed the rewind button he thought, laughing at himself which caused both boys to look at him strangely.
"It's not my fault" Blaine said whining "you know I'm a cuddler, you both know I'm a cuddler, it's not my fault!" He said trying to come up with some reason that proved it wasn't his fault, and clearly he cant he thought trying not to laugh as he watched Blaine struggle like a fish out of water. He and Sebastian shared a look and a smile at his nerves. Classic Blaine when he was falling for someone, he'd get all nervous and he'd ramble and make excuses. It was adorable.
Sebastian and Blaine continued talking. Well more like Sebastian kept telling Blaine all the things he's picked up over the past dew days which caused Blaine to blush, ramble and make up more excuses, as if he really needed excuse he thought fondly to himself, everyone knew what was happening between the two of them as they tried to play dumb. Blaine was blushing, Sebastian was making inappropriate remarks, he was letting the fact they included his brother go for the sake of the moment, as he was glad to have his friends back to to normal.
"Blaine, just stop with the excuses, okay" Sebastian said with a laugh. "Kurt and I are over, we didn't work out but you do. Kurt and I are just friend's and I know how you feel about him so just be honest" he said with a smile as he jumped up to sit on the side next to Carson.
He could see Carson staring at him, it was a mix of questioning and understanding out of the corner of his eye wondering how he was doing this. He would too if the situation was reversed but he was honestly cool with everything. Yeah it had taken him some time after his realisation and their break up, but now it was okay. As hard as it could be for anyone to accept, it was true.
That was why he was sat here with a huge smile on his face and genuinely interested as he watched his best friend in the entire world stumble over words about Kurt. "Kurt and I are just friend's for now" Blaine said sadly looking down at the counter that he was leaning against. "I mean we haven't really spoken about it but we're just going to give it some time I think" he said nodding with a sad smile.
Sebastian dropped his head into his hands and moaned while he could hear Carson mumbling his relief next to him. "Blaine, oh Blaine, Oh Blaine. What are you doing!?" He groaned before shaking his head and looking at him disappointingly. "You and Kurt have had all the time in the world!"
"What the hell Seb?" Carson said nudging him in the rib cage. "It's great news! They need time" he said sounding well over enthusiastic about the idea. Too enthusiastic. He turned to Blaine then, a huge smile on his face "you and Kurt need time Blaine, this is great."
His jaw went slack as he glared at his friend accusingly He was so wrong. "How are we even friends?" he asked seriously with a shake of his head. "C, Blaine needs to let Kurt know how he feels otherwise Kurt might think he isn't interested and move on! That's what happened last time and you don't want history to repeat itself do you!?" He said, a little too harshly he'll admit but his point was still valid.
Carson nudged him again "Sebastian no, just no. Blaine and Kurt need to have some space. Both parties know that the other's interested so if its meant to be, like it is" he said glancing at Blaine who was staring at them in annoyance. Annoyance he could understand, he hated it when Blaine and Carson would talk about him and Kurt as if they weren't even there.
"Then they'll both use this time to think about what they want" Carson continued as if trying to make a point out of every word. "Before they jump head first into a relationship that could shatter this group to pieces." Carson's tone was getting loud and he was a little worried Kurt might here. He was glaring at his best friend now, this is insane. "You need time Blaine" Carson yelled turning towards Blaine who just looked confused.
There was a beat of silence when everyone just looked at each other in confusion. Carson was breathing hard, Blaine looked like he didn't understand what was happening and he wasn't sure why Carson was getting so upset.
He was about to ask what was bugging Carson when a fully dressed Kurt walked in stealing all of their attention. He was wearing skin tight back jeans, white shirt and grey waistcoat, he looked hot. Damn it. Why the fuck does he look so fucking hot? He thought irritatingly to himself. "Nice" he said in his usual flirtatious tone with his signature wink and smirk, this isn't going to change me. I won't let it change me.
Kurt's expression was a mix of a smirk and a smile at his comment before he looked to the clothes the three of them were still wearing and laughed to himself. "I can't believe you are still stood around here, talking while dressed in your pajamas" Kurt said disapprovingly as he walked between them towards the kettle, flipping the switch before grabbing four to-go cups from the cupboard.
Carson jumped off of the counter and scooted around Kurt avoiding him and Sebastian couldn't help but smile. "Sorry Kurt we were talking and we got carried away" he said backing up. "You look good though, new shirt?" he asked still slowly backing away.
Sebastian couldn't help but laugh at these two brother's. How could Carson be so scared of his younger brother? Kurt was only nineteen, seriously what had Kurt done to him. "Carson, dude, chill!" He said with a smile laughing at him as he patted him on the shoulder.
Carson turned to him and mouthed the words 'don't dude me he's fucking terrifying!' before turning back to Kurt with a forced smile. Kurt had a huge smile on his face as if he knew what he was doing and loving every minute of it, for the smallest fraction of a second he was reminded why he had fallen in love with this boy.
"Thanks Carson, yeah it is new" he said with a grin. "Sebastian bought it for me" he said with a smile in his direction. It took him a moment longer staring at the shirt to remember exactly when he'd bought Kurt that shirt, but then all too quickly their shopping trip came back to haunt him. There were too many happy memories there from a better time that he refused to think about. One day he would, but now it was too soon.
Blaine pulled attention then, maybe sensing Kurt's too over sweet tone or the discomfort in his expression, he turned his gaze on Kurt as he clapped his hands together. "Right we will go and get changed then we can get a move on" he said with a smile pulling them all out of the kitchen and towards their bedrooms, but not before he saw Kurt's adoring and triumphant smile.
The two of them were pulled out of the kitchen by Blaine and they all started making their way upstairs, Carson going on about how terrifying Kurt could be and Sebastian had to wonder why he had never seen this side of him.
Once at the top he would never admit how much it annoyed him that Blaine walked into Kurt's room as if it was his own. Hell he wouldn't even admit it to himself, not really. So with only the slightest pause in his stop and a quiet side he followed Carson into his room. Carson who was already half way through undressing. Undressing in front of each other wasn't really an issue for any of them anymore, they'd known each other way too long and seen too much, but sometimes Carson's lack of embarrassment still surprised him.
"You alright Seb?" Carson asked him with a smile as he pulled his pajama bottoms off and started searching for a fresh pair of boxer's. "You know with Blaine and Kurt? I know you say you are and that we've talked about it extensively but I still worry about you Seb." Sebastian rolled his eye's as he lifted his shirt over his head, yes he was okay with it but that didn't mean he wanted to talk about it. He knew that Carson was only looking out for him, so instead of biting back he decided to smile and change the subject.
Sebastian laughed, it came out sounding a little too forced, as he started doing up his dark blue shirt ignoring Carson's previous question. "Carson, before you get stark naked in front of your friend's, why don't you at least make sure your clothes are in reaching distance so you can change quickly" he said with a laugh turning towards him and of course, he was still naked.
"What?" Carson asked, intentionally posing inappropriately so he had a very good view of everything. If he wasn't so used to Carson's behavior he probably would've blushed because let's be honest, he is gay and Carson is hot, even if he is too much like a brother, it's been a while. "Do I intimidate you?" he said with a wink before very slowly and dramatically pulling up his boxer's in a way Sebastian thinks was supposed to be sexy.
He smiled, well smiled would be to light, he full on smirked at his strange best friend, "dude you know that you don't intimidate me" he said with a wink. They all knew who was the most intimidating, and I will always be the most intimidating he thought with a smug smile as he reached for his jeans.
Carson continued to glare at him while they both put on their trousers before dropping his gaze and sighing. "Yeah okay" he said sounding a little deflated and he couldn't help but feel smug, what could he say he was proud of what he had to work with. "You're the most intimidating. But not by much!" he added with a finger point that had him laughing as he buttoned his jeans.
"Guy's!" Blaine reprimanded as he came in looking stunning in red jeans and black blazer. They'd look good together he thought sadly as he turned to him, damn it! Why do both of my ex's have to be so god damn hot!? Because you have good taste, he thought answering his own rhetorical question. "Will you guy's stop talking about who's the most intimidating and get your asses downstairs. Kurt's waiting for us" and with that he turned and stormed back out.
He and Carson shared a confused look, "what's his problem?" he asked Carson with a suspecting smile, he reached for his blazer already knowing that Blaine was probably just anxious to keep Kurt in a good mood, as well as looking forward to spending as much time with his as possible, he knew how his best friend worked.
Carson shrugged "he's probably just upset that he's the least intimidating" he said with a wink grabbing his scarf. Scarf? Really? He is definitely Kurt's brother he thought with a smile shaking his head even though technically with Carson being the oldest it should be the other way around.
Sebastian laughed at Carson's comment, both of them knowing it wasn't true. "Are you sure that's not why you're so upset?" he asked knowingly, giving Carson a look before heading towards the stairs and down towards the kitchen where the couple to be was waiting for their arrival.
"That is not true Sebastian Smythe and you know it!" He heard Carson call defensively from behind him and he couldn't not laugh. It had always been a touchy subject for Carson, but just because he wasn't the most intimidating out of the three of them didn't mean he wasn't intimidating at all. "Plus we are not done with the conversation that we didn't even get chance to start!" Sebastian just waved his hand dismissively "nice subject change though" Carson said with a smile as he grabbed his shoulders at the bottom of the stairs.
The two of them walked into the kitchen in the middle of Kurt and Blaine's conversation, the two of them were stood side by side talking and laughing as they made their coffee's to go. Kurt making sure Blaine used the Lima Bean cup and the two of them sharing some intimate look that he didn't understand. Carson tripped as he rounded him, falling into the fridge and making their presence known.
As soon as their coffee's were finished the four of them put on their jackets, Kurt running upstairs to get a scarf, of course he thought with a fond smile, before they headed out the door and into the cold morning, Lima Ohio air.
