Chapter 6: Victory
"5 more minutes" I begged. Why was he insisting on me waking up! "Let me sleep Blaine, please please please!"
"Absolutely not," he said, ripping the pillow out of my hands that was covering my face "you know how important today is. You need to get to Dalton so that you can meet up with the Warblers. You guys are lucky enough that you've been excused from classes by the headmaster so that you can practice. Plus, its your fault you're in this state right now." Blaine pulled off the blanket that I had cocooned myself in.
"Blaaaaaine, just 5 more minutes and that's it I swear" I said groaning, my voice husky from just waking up and clearly pleading for him to let me be. Blaine grabbed me by the legs and began tugging at me hoping to drag me off the bed.
"This is completely ridiculous. We look like a cartoon Bas, just get up! You have a long drive ahead of you. Correction, I have a long drive ahead of me to drop you off…Now get your ass up before I force you to."
"Sounds like fun" I said with a smirk on my face. As I broke free from his grasp, I turned around and shot him a wink. I waved my hands, inviting him to get into bed, which only resulted with a pillow to the face. Between whimpers and complaints, he finally managed to get me out of bed.
"I hate you."
"No you don't" Blaine said, handing me a towel and walking me to the bathroom. I loved it when he smiled like that. I could die happy if he smiled at me like that.
Sigh. "You know me so well" I said as I walked into the bathroom, "care to join me?" I said, half knowing that Blaine would deny, half hoping he would say yes. Say yes.
"As tempting as that sounds, I think it's best you took this shower by yourself." This shower? Does that mean what I think it means?
"You're killing me!" I said as he rolled his eyes and walked away. I couldn't help but pop my head out of the bathroom to watch his cute little butt shake as he walked away.
"Sebastian! NOW!"
"Fiiiine!" I closed the door behind me and couldn't help the giggle that escaped my lips. Wow. Okay. Not doing that again, ever.
After taking a quick shower and throwing on my uniform, I walked out of the bathroom and into Blaine's room. Despite Blaine dressing like a mix of a grandpa and a little kid, he always looked adorable in his bow ties.
"You clean up well," I said, laughing at his expression when he turned around. Clearly he didn't here me make my way into the room.
"I could say the same thing. Compared to how you looked last night, you look great right now"
"Right now? Don't I always?" I said with a pout on my face.
"Gotta admit it, you always do. Although it might be my inability to resist a man in uniform" Did he just wink at me? Wait. What's going on with my heart? It's beating like crazy.
I walked over to the bed and threw myself on it, not really expecting that he would just let me lay there. "Then why don't you come back to Dalton?"
"You know I can't do that," he said as he came to grab me and lift me up.
"Why not? Kurt isn't there anymore. You have Nick, Jeff, Thad, and the rest of the Warblers back at Dalton. You...y-you also have me there…" Since when was I so corny? I mean really…
"I know Bas, but I also have my friends in the Glee club at McKinley. I can't just abandon them either."
"You abandoned us first" I muttered under my breathe, not thinking that he actually heard me.
"Low blow. Plus, you weren't even there when I was there, remember? Living the life in Paris?" Living the life? If only he knew how messed up my relationship with my parents was.
"I much rather would have been at Dalton when you were in the Warblers instead of being in Paris"
"Really?" He asked as we walked out of the house and got into his car.
"Nah. I mean, I'm not sure if you lived up the to hype. Blaine Anderson really isn't that sexy and doesn't sing like a dream." I mocked
"Why are you so mean?" He asked, with hurt in his words. I'm kidding. You are everything anyone ever said you were.
"You know I'm kidding. You're everything and more" I leant over to kiss him on his cheek. Gay. But what I could do? It was Blaine. I would do anything to bring out that cute shade of pink on his cheeks.
"Thanks" he muttered
The drive to Dalton was uneventful. It was literally pointless for me to be going so early to practice; I didn't feel like moving, let alone dancing and singing.
"You know, you could stay with us today. I'm sure the guys would love to have you here with us." Stay with me. Please?
"Sorry Bas, I have classes today, remember?"
"Public school problems…" I said as I laughed.
"Shut up" he said punching my arm. Ouch. It wasn't with force, but I remembered that he was a boxer. Hot.
As we pulled into Dalton, I was dreading leaving the car. What's worse is that we weren't even able to really talk about what happened last night.
"Well, I guess I'll see you later. If Nick or Jeff tell me that you were missing from practice, you will suffer the consequences." he said to me as I got my backpack from the backseat.
"Don't tell me you're going to be checking up on me. I'm not a child Blaine."
"Wait, you're not?" he asked, fake shock written all over his face
"Ha. Ha. Ha. Well, I guess I'll talk to you later?"
"Sure will. I'm sorry I won't be able to attend tonight, Mr. Schue has us on overdrive until tomorrow"
"That's totally understandable. If he's anything like Hunter, then I completely understand."
"Is he that bad?"
"He's crazy" I said as I opened the door "but with that, I bid you a farewell" As much as I didn't want to, procrastinating by talking to Blaine in the car was not only going to get me yelled at, but it would make him late. "Have a safe drive."
"Thanks Sebastian. I'll text you later"
After saying our goodbyes, I made my way for the common room. The dancing had been much more demanding since last year, let alone when Blaine was the lead vocalist. I knew I was in for a long day.
"About time you showed up."
"It's nice to see you too Hunter." I rolled my eyes visibly showing him that I really hoped this wouldn't be an all day thing.
"Warblers. Get in formation." He commanded, to which all the Warblers obliged. Here we go.
"They were actually really good. Looks like this won't be as easy as we thought…" Nick said.
"Is that seriously the attitude you have right now? If everyone feels that way we should really call it quits now." I said, hoping to boost up the Warblers confidence, despite the fact that I myself was nervous.
"Sebastian's right guys, we can't let them get to us." Hunter said.
As Aural intensity made their way off the stage, one of them, whom I assumed was the leader seeing as he was the lead vocalist, pushed me aside. "Watch it loser"
"Excuse me?" I said. Clearly he didn't know who he was about to pick a fight with.
"You heard me. Get out of the way. Might as well leave now, definitely won't be making it past sectionals this year with us as your competition."
"Oh really? Cause you sounded really pitchy and your dance moves were mediocre. Is that all you guys had to offer? Cause if it is, you have no idea what's coming to you." I said, pushing him back, to which he retaliated by pushing me back. He had a smirk on his face.
"I've heard about you. Smythe I presume? The one who doesn't back down and got kicked out the Warblers for being an asshole? I'm sure daddy wouldn't be happy if he found out you got in another fight. " How did he know that my dad was the one who got me kicked out of the Warblers?
"That's it!" I said, as I was about to swing, only to be stopped by Hunter and Nick.
"That's right boy's. Keep this one tame."
"Back the fuck up before things get serious. This is your last chance." I told him, gaining my composure again. He laughed and walked away.
"Calm down Sebastian. We'll make him eat his words when we have that trophy in our hands. But dude, what did he mean by you getting kicked out of the Warblers?"
"Nothing. Just drop it." I said, shaking his grasp from my arm. Just then I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket.
Break a leg! –Blaine
Thanks B. –Sebastian
Is everything okay? –Blaine
How could he know from a simple text message that something was up?
Yeah. Everything's good. I have to go, we're up! –Sebastian
"And now, all the way from Westerville Ohio, the Dalton Academy Warblers!" With that, the Warblers and I made our way onto the stage.
After our performance, the crowd was on their feet. It felt good receiving this applause, knowing that the work that all of us put into our performance was worth it. After our performance, we all made our way to the green room.
"Awesome job guys!" Hunter said as we all took a seat. It was clear that all of us were ecstatic about the outcome of our performance.
"Yeah! We definitely have this in the bag, we kicked sectionals ass!" Jeff said, getting a laugh out of all of us.
"Sebastian, you were awesome during your solo. I'm pretty sure you sung Live While We're Young a lot better than One Direction does!" Nick said, patting me on the back.
"Thanks Nick, but this was a group effort. The real crowd pleaser was our interpretation of Whistle. Risky, but it all worked out!" I couldn't help but join in on the good mood. We really did do well tonight.
"My, my, I never thought I would see the day where Sebastian was modest." Hunter said, a mocking grin on his face. "So this is the effect Anderson has on you."
Before I had time to argue, the announcement went off on the speaker that told us to make our way back to the stage.
When we reached the stage, we were placed next to Aural intensity. The same guy who tried to start a fight earlier smirked in our direction. He would regret this. The judges made their way onto the stage, and introduced themselves again to the audience. Hurry up and announce us the winners already.
"This years sectional winners who will move onto regionals, from Westerville Ohio, the Dalton Academy Warblers!" The moment was sublime. Not only were the Warblers moving on, but the losers from Aural Intensity had to face the fact that we just kicked their asses, despite them talking tough.
"We did it! We're moving on!" The group was making its way out, jumping and causing havoc by whomever we passed by. We were way too happy, and with reason to as well. As we all made our way out, the first person I wanted to share the news with Blaine.
The way I see it, you have two options. Drop out of competition now before you even start competing, or win sectionals, make it to regionals, and face a humiliating defeat when we wipe the stage with the New Directions… ;) –Sebastian
You guys won?! Congratulations Sebastian! That's awesome I'm so happy for you. I choose option 3, you eat your words and bow down to us when we win regionals. –Blaine
Them are some fighting words Anderson. You're on. Assuming you win sectionals of course. –Sebastian
Oh we will, don't doubt it. –Blaine
The rest of the night was kind of a blur. I was too distracted thinking about what that asshole from Aural Intensity said. How was it possible that he knew that my dad was the one who convinced the headmaster to kick me out from the Warblers? It just didn't make sense. I was lying on my bed, my mind not being able to focus on one thing, listening to music, hoping that sleep would come and take me.
I was just about to fall asleep when my phone went rang. "What the fuuuuu-" When I checked to see if the caller id, I sighed when I saw that it was Blaine. Anyone else and they wouldn't hear the end of it. Not Blaine though. Not him.
"Hey there stranger." I said once I picked up the phone.
"Hey Sebastian! I'm sorry did I wake you up?"
"It's fine killer, I don't need sleep anyways."
"Sorry, I'll let you get back to sleep."
"No it's totally fine, always nice to hear a friendly voice. Is everything okay?"
"Yeah. Just…lonely I guess." I miss you too.
"Well, you are more than welcome to come over if you'd like. Blaine. Be honest, is everything okay?"
Blaine didn't answer. Did he hang up?
"Blaine?"
"Sorry. I just, uhh. Well, I miss you to be honest." There it goes again, my heart pounding so loud it feels like it'll burst any second. I swear if he keeps this up I'll die of a heart attack.
"I miss you too." I really need to work on my bad ass-ness. Blaine made me soft. "Don't worry though, we always have Sunday. I'm assuming your busy all day tomorrow or I would visit you."
"Yeah, rehearsing all day before competition."
"Nervous?"
"Mmm, kind of, but not really."
"Thatta boy." Against my will, I yawned. Damnit. I didn't want Blaine to think I was too tired to talk to him.
"I'll talk to you tomorrow. I better get some sleep, don't want to be too tired for tomorrow." I knew it. He did think I was too tired for him.
"If you say so. Good night Blaine. I lo..uh, look forward to seeing you again." Hold up, what just happened?
"Night Sebastian."
Did that really just almost come out? I hadn't even had sex with Blaine and yet I almost told him that I lo…lov…what the hell is that? Fuck.
