Chapter 44: Keep Your Friends Close
A/N: Reviews are more than welcomed! I'll try to update again tomorrow, but I don't promise anything after that until after thursday :( I hope you guys enjoy! By the way, I hope it isn't too hard to follow the back-and-forth point of views. I don't tell you what point of view it is, but I hope the first sentence after the line break tells you who the POV is! I want to get both Sebastian's take and Blaine's take on this relationship :)
"Blaine, answer your phone." We still had an hour of sleep left until we both had to get up, and I wanted to make use of that time. However, someone had to interrupt my sleep by calling Blaine. Sometimes it sucked being a light sleeper. Actually, it usually sucked to be a light sleeper. Blaine let out an unintelligible sound which I assumed was either a no, or he was unaware I was even talking to him. I reached over him to grab his phone and answered it, not really caring enough to see who it was. "What?"
"Well good morning to you too Blaine." The voice came over the phone.
"It's not Blaine. It's Sebastian. And we're sleeping."
"Are you always grumpy this early in the morning?"
"Yes. Now who is this?"
"It's Finn. Blaine and I were supposed to get coffee this morning and he told me to call him to wake him up." Was it weird that it made me somewhat jealous that some guy was calling my boyfriend this early in the morning? For coffee? I mean, the guy did forgive me for making nudes of him and threatening to place them on the internet if Rachel competed at regionals last year, so I guess I could let this one slide.
"I'll let him know."
"You're not actually going to tell him are you?"
"Nope." Before he could say anything else, I hung up the phone and put it on the nightstand. I repositioned myself (now that I couldn't find my comfortable position) and pulled Blaine in closer. It was weird, but feeling him pressed against me brought me a sort of security.
"Who was it?" Blaine said half asleep. He turned himself over so that he was facing me, despite his eyes remaining closed.
"Telemarketer." I lied.
"Sebastian."
"It was that kid Finn." Blaine's eyes suddenly opened and he shot up.
"Crap. I'm getting coffee with him, I forgot." He said rubbing his eyes.
"Don't worry I cancelled for you. Come back to bed." I said bringing him back down, still not willing to fully open my eyes.
"Seb!" He said frowning.
"I'm kidding!" I turned over onto my other side facing away from Blaine. "If you'd rather go get coffee with some guy than stay in a warm bed with your boyfriend, that's your choice." I said crossing my arms and let out a loud huff.
"I think you'll find it in you to forgive me." Blaine sneaked his hand around me and was ghosting his fingers over my stomach, instantly raising little bumps on my skin. Blaine leaned in and kissed my neck. "Don't be jealous."
"I'm not." I said turning my head to half way glance at him. "I'm just saying we could stay here and make better use of your time. I'm sure what I have in mind will wake you up a lot more than coffee will." I turned over so that I was lying on my back; Blaine smiled and sat on top of me, holding my hands above me head.
"I can't." He said leaning down and whispering it into my ear. Just when I thought I was actually going to get what I wanted.
"Tease."
"You love me." Blaine said standing up and walking towards the mirror. "God I look horrible."
"No you don't." I said crossing my arms behind my head. Blaine threw off his shirt before heading towards the bathroom. "You know, you should really show off your arms more. They're nice to look at."
"Thanks." He said brushing his teeth. "But I don't really wear sleeveless things. Besides, no one I really want to impress but you."
"Do you want a ride to school?" I asked getting out of bed and stretching.
"No I'll be okay."
"What're you up to afterschool?"
"Finn and I are going to the music store to look through music for nationals ideas. I don't know what time that'll be over, but I'll call you after okay?" He's hanging out with Finn again? I said I would let the first one slide, not the second one.
"Sounds like a plan. I'm hanging out with Hunter today." Well, he didn't know it yet, but we would be. I missed the guy.
"What're you two doing?" He said running back and forth collecting his things.
"Not sure yet. We might just hangout here or something."
"Well, have fun. Tell Hunter I said hi. Oh, and don't forget dinner with Cooper and Julie tonight!"
"I won't."
Blaine walked over to me and kissed me. "I'll see you later."
"Bye B. Love you."
"Love you too." Blaine smiled before making his way out of the apartment.I tried taking advantage of the hour I had left, but I couldn't really fall back asleep. I walked into the kitchen to make some coffee and start making breakfast when Britt walked out.
"Morning Britt. Sleep well?"
"I did. What about you?" She said walking over and kissing me on the cheek.
"Same. Do you want coffee? Help yourself to anything you want. I was about to make eggs and toast if you'd like."
"Thanks Sebby, but I need to go home before school so I'm going home now. My mom says Lord Tubbington was being a brat last night, and when she woke up this morning there was white powder leading to my room which means that he's either using the easy bake oven I got him last Christmas, or he's using drugs again."
"Let's hope it's not the latter." I said smiling at her. "Is Santana awake?" Normally I would comment on Brittany's insane logic, but her innocence was something to be desired.
"She's getting ready. Well, I'll see you soon!" Britt came over to hug me before making her way to the door.
"Bye Britt!" I called as she closed the door. I took a quick shower and got ready before Santana was even done. After calling goodbye, I started my drive to Dalton. When I arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to see that Hunter was outside on a table drinking coffee and reading a newspaper. It made the search that much easier.
Hunter didn't notice me approaching so I snuck up behind him and leaned down to his ear. "You look like an old man."
The jump that I got out of Hunter is exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. "Christ! Why do you do that?"
"Because it's funny." I said grabbing his bagel and taking a bite. I wasn't hungry, but teasing Hunter was something that I liked to do on my free time. "Don't be a sourpuss."
"We both hate mornings, Bas, I don't understand why you're so happy before class has even started."
"It's a good day. Is it so wrong that I'm happy?" I said rolling my eyes. "Anyways, what're you doing after school today?"
"I…I uh have a date." I raised an eyebrow, half upset that I wasn't the apple of his eye anymore, and half intrigued as to who this new man was.
"Do tell? Is he better looking than me?" I said putting on a pout.
"She is very attractive." He said taking a sip from his coffee.
"You're into transvestites now?" I said not really caring much about his emphasis on she.
"The date is with a girl."
"Stop lying. Why would you date a girl?" I asked suddenly interested in why it was with a girl and not a guy.
"I came here and I told everyone that I wasn't even remotely bicurious. That was until I met you." He said shaking his head. "But it was just a phase. My parent's set me up with this girl, and besides, everyone just assumes we hooked up but we never confirmed it, so the whole "not even remotely bicurious" thing still goes. The body shot I took off of you can be excused as an act of being drunk."
"You can't tell me you didn't enjoy it when we did it. Why would your parents set you up with a girl, and why would you want everyone to believe you were straight?"
"Sebastian, my parents don't know I'm gay. Hell, I didn't even know I was gay until I hooked up with you. I still think I might not even be…I come from a military background; telling my parents would make me an outcast and pretty much hated by my entire family. They would never accept me."
"Hunter you have to be honest with them. You can't just pretend to be somebody you're not."
"You don't understand." Hunter said pushing his chair back and standing up. He gathered his things and started walking away but I caught up with him.
"Dude, don't be mad. I'm just trying to help. How about this, you cancel on the dumb broad you have a date with and hang out with me. We haven't hung out in a while."
"Is your boyfriend giving you enough time to hang out with me now?" He said scoffing.
"Listen." I said stopping him from walking. "I know that what happened between us wasn't fair to you…I was using you during the times that I didn't have Blaine, and I'm apologizing because you didn't deserve it. But you can't be mad at Blaine, it's not his fault. Well, technically it is…anyways, I love him, but I also love you. It's just that I love you more like a bro."
"You don't have to apologize." He said walking by me. "I let it happen."
"Hunter wait." I said grabbing his arm and forcing him to turn around. "I don't apologize. You know I don't. But I do take responsibility for everything that I did to you. It wasn't fair that I made you my rebound. I want us to stay friends though, please? I can't say I have many of those." I said nudging him.
"We can stay friends." He said half smiling at me. "And like I said, I didn't stop you when it was happening."
"That's all I ask for." I said putting my hands in my pockets. "Anyways, I have class but I'll see you at lunch."
"Bye." Hunter turned around and walked the other direction. The way I ended things with Hunter back when we would hook up was sloppy, but there was nothing really there. At least not for me. Normally I wouldn't feel bad, but this was Hunter and I actually did care for him. I turned around to see Hunter was already gone.
"I can't believe I did that." I said wrapping my bathrobe around myself.
"Why?" Sam asked putting his arm over my shoulder. "We're going to be the money makers, you know that."
"I guess." I said shrugging. Sebastian's talk helped, but I was still slightly uncomfortable. The photo shoot had just finished and we were getting dressed to go to glee rehearsal.
"There's nothing to be ashamed about." He said throwing my shirt at me.
"Easy for you to say, you have an incredible body." I felt my cheeks turning red at the compliment that wasn't really supposed to come out. I had a crush on Sam in the past, but he was straight, and I had Sebastian.
"What can I say?" Sam said flexing his arms. "These babies are my pride and joy. And, not to sound gay, no offense, but you're a good-looking guy Blaine. Your embarrassment is completely unwarranted. I, on the other hand, probably won't make it anywhere else but the modeling business." I wasn't sure if that was a compliment or insult to himself. Knowing Sam, it was probably a compliment.
"You're more than just your body Sam."
"Easy for you to say," Funny, I just said that. "You have talent and you're charming. Most things that come easily to you don't come easily to others."
"Oh please, you're one to talk." I said rolling my eyes. "You're insanely talented. And you're impressions make all the girls swoon."
"I'm not New York material though. Not even sure if I'm Los Angeles material either. I have no idea what I'm doing with the rest of my life."
"Hey." I said placing a hand on his shoulder. "It'll all fall into place. I'll help you." Sam brought me into a hug, and as he let go I could see that his eyes were slightly watery. I guess this was really beating him up. Everyone heard about the low scores Sam got on the SATs, but there were so many other great things about him that it really wasn't worth him beating himself up about.
"You're a true bro, you know that?" He said patting my back and closing his locker.
"So are you." I said picking up my backpack and making our way out of the locker room. When we got into the choir room, we saw that we were the lasts one in.
"Alright guys. Take a seat. As you know, next weekend is the wedding between Ms. Pillsbury and I. So, I was thinking that these next few days we could spend time working on numbers that you guys will perform at the wedding. Finn told me most of you guys have already started working on a number." Mr. Schue's wedding was right around the corner, and everyone was anticipating the date. The seniors would all be returning as well, so everyone was pretty excited.
"Are we still going to between the sheets after school?" Finn whispered while Mr. Schue was talking.
"Definitely. Do you want me to drive?"
"I can take us if you want." I nodded before turning my attention back to Mr. Schue.
"Does anyone have a number they have prepared and want to show us?" Sugar and the girls raised their hands and made their way to the front.
It was the last period of the day and I was sitting next to Hunter in the last row, because somehow that demonstrated that we were the cool kids in the class. Nick and Jeff were sitting in the seat in front of us, giving me the perfect shield so that I could use my phone.
How's glee club? –Sebastian
How did you know I was in glee club right now? –Blaine
I know when I can and can't text you during the school day, and I know that glee club is one of the few times you'll actually answer. Gotta take advantage of the little time I have. My boyfriend is a popular guy. The only disadvantage; its hard to get his attention. ;) –Sebastian
I looked over at Hunter to see that he was staring outside the window, not really caring much about anything. It bothered me how upset he was and how uninterested he seemed with me. I had Blaine and I would never cheat on him, but Hunter was like a guilty pleasure.
"Hunt…Hunt…Hunter." I said, my whispering progressively getting louder.
"Sebastian, is there something you'd like to share?" The teacher, who I don't even know her name, called from the front. Hunter finally decided to turn his head to look at me.
"No, I'm good. Thanks though." After clearing her throat, she turned around again to draw on the board.
"Did you consider my offer?"
"I'm not cancelling this date Sebastian." He said shaking his head.
"I don't have plans after school since lacrosse was cancelled. What am I supposed to do by myself?"
"Make more friends. I'm not just going to be here waiting to hang out when Blaine isn't around." Hunter stopped playing with his pencil when he said that, probably because he felt betrayed by his own word vomit. "Besides, I'm sure there are a hundred other things you could do." The way he said it implied, or at least I thought it implied, my hand and mini me.
"So many other things to do than to touch myself Hunter." I said letting out a small laugh. All I got in return was a half ass smile that was evidently forced. I never let anyone giving me the cold shoulder effect me. Why should I should I start now? Normally when the bell rings Hunter and I would leave together, but by the time I looked back up from getting my backpack, he was already gone. I looked down at my phone and saw that Blaine had texted me back.
That is true. But I always have time for you silly. -Blaine
Sam says hi. –Blaine
Hi Sam. –Sebastian
"So what song are we doing to warm up?" Nick said as I walked into the common room.
"I have a song." Hunter said plugging in his iPod. "Jeff, be my duet partner."
"Don't I usually do duets with you?" I said sitting down on the edge of a desk and raising an eyebrow.
"We have to give other people opportunities as well. If we want to win against that sad excuse of a glee club from McKinley, then we need everyone to be at their best." Hunter said taking off his blazer and rolling his sleeves. He turned around to face away from me and towards the rest of the Warblers.
"That sad excuse of a glee club has our former captain. Not to mention they are the reigning national champions."
"Sebastian." Hunter said slamming down his fist on the table. "You need to decide whether you're with us or against us. You're going soft on those McKinley kids, the same kids you despised last year."
"I can be friends with both. Blaine is on the other team, Hunter, I owe it to him." I said standing up.
"What team are you on, Sebastian?"
"What team are you on, Hunter?" I knew it was a low blow to throw him under the bus with the whole being-gay-but-not-really-thing, but I was pissed. I could see Hunters muscle tense, but by the time I found a reason to give a fuck, I had already left.
"Sebastian, wait!" Of course Hunter would send his lackeys Nick and Jeff to chase after me.
"If Hunter wants to talk he can talk to me himself." I said not slowing down for them.
"He didn't ask us to talk to you." Jeff said catching up and doing his signature hair flip. Gay. "What the hell is wrong with you guys? It's been so tense around you guys all day. What is the team supposed to do if our captains are fighting? This isn't how to prepare for nationals."
"Yeah man, it sucks seeing you guys like this. Can't you just hug it out or whatever?" Nick added.
"I'm not the hugging type." Half true. I really wasn't, only with a few people. And by few I mean Brittany and Blaine. Occasionally Santana.
"He needs you Sebastian." Nick said, looking genuinely worried. "We pretend we don't know, but Hunter has been pretty down lately. Which means it's a shit show for us."
"We act like we don't know what this is all about. But we know he's pissed because Blaine has you, and not him."
"He's not gay." I said turning around to finally look at them.
"You don't have to lie to us." Jeff said.
"Yeah, we kind of heard you guys. All the time." Nick said playfully shuddering. "Normally I would assume it was you and some other dude, but it was only Hunter when Blaine wasn't around."
"I'm not lying." I said shrugging my shoulders. "Up to you whether or not you want to believe me."
"Are we going to convince you to come back to practice?" Jeff asked. Truth be told, I didn't want to. But I did need to make up for all the missed time. Putting my hands in my pockets was like a sign now; the second I placed my hands into my pockets, Jeff and Nick both smiled and high fived. I conceded and decided to follow them back to rehearsal.
"What're you guys doing after school today?" I asked trailing behind them.
"Nothing. Why?"
"I need to make more friends."
"Aren't we already your friends?" Jeff asked looking at me with a confused expression.
"I mean…I guess." I said shrugging it off. "I'm hanging out with you guys then." It was pitiful really. I didn't ever need to find friends to make the time go by, but now all I seemed to do was want more friends.
Crap.
"Are you coming Saturday?" Jeff asked.
"To what?"
"Warblers party. You should bring the New Directions. I feel like that would be fun."
"Where is it?"
"My house." Nick said.
"I'll be there I guess. Not so sure about the New Directions though. Don't think Hunter would like that."
"My party. My guests. Screw if Hunter wants them there or not, I do."
"If you say so." I said shrugging as we walked back into the common room.
"What about this one?" Finn said pulling out another piece of sheet music.
"Finn, are you even reading them before you pull them out? This is nationals, we have to be on our A game."
"Everything I suggest you turn down." He said throwing his hands up in defeat.
"Everything you suggest is classic or soft rock, songs that only you can knock out of the ball park. You're not competing, remember?"
"I miss competing. I miss the joy of being in a group. All the graduates have gone their own ways and I'm stuck at McKinley."
"I thought you liked teaching glee club."
"I do." He said putting down the piece of sheet music and making his way to the other side of the stand. "I just can't help but feel like a failure."
"You led us to a regionals victory; that's pretty impressive. You're a natural born leader Finn. You just need to find your calling if you don't think teaching glee club is what you want to do."
"I don't know." He said sighing as if in defeat. "I love music. I love to perform. But I'm clearly not New York material. And Los Angeles isn't appealing to me."
"There are other places to go if you want to be around show biz." I said handing him a piece of sheet music. "Why don't you think New York is a good fit for you?"
"It's just so fast paced and…broadwayish... It suits Rachel and Kurt, but I feel like I'd be the odd one out there."
"Have you looked at any schools you might like?" Finn shook his head. "Do you have any idea what you might want to study?" Finn shook his head again. Looks like there was someone else besides Sam who was completely lost. "Don't worry, it'll all fall into place. I'll help you!" I really hope my confidence didn't come back and bite me later.
"You would do that?"
"Of course I would. You've done a lot for me Finn." I extended my fist so that he could bump it, which he did after he put on his half smile.
"I didn't know you guys would be here!" Someone said from behind me. I turned around to see the Marley, Jake, Ryder, Kitty, and Unique standing there.
"Hey! What're you guys doing here?"
"We're looking for music to perform at the wedding." Unique said.
"I'm here because I need to find an easy song to teach Ryder here how to play the guitar." Jake said putting his arm over Ryder.
"We're going to Bread Stix after if you guys want to come. Artie, Santana, Britt, Sam and Tina are meeting us there." Marley said.
"I'd love to, but I already have dinner plans." I said giving them an apologetic look.
"What about you Finn?" Ryder asked.
"Sure, I'll go. But I'm not leaving here until we find a song for nationals." Everyone agreed and they all helped us look for sheet music.
"Well aren't you a site for sore eyes." I said when Blaine opened the door.
"I could say the same." He said pulling me into a hug. "You know what I realized today?"
"What?" I said kissing him and closing the door behind me.
"The clothes you chose for me were all green. I didn't realize I was wearing your favorite color."
"It took you all day to figure that out?"
"Well I didn't really realize it until Tina pointed it out." Blaine grabbed my hand and led me towards the outside patio. "Since it's still pretty warm we thought it would be a good idea to have a cookout."
"Sounds good to me." When we walked outside, I saw that Julie and Cooper were manning the grill. "Hey guys!"
"Sebby! It's about time you get here."
"Sorry." I said bumping fists with Cooper. "Julie, beautiful as ever I see." I said hugging her.
"You look handsome yourself." She said analyzing me up and down.
"I'm digging this look Sebastian. I usually only see you in either your blazer's uniform or under Blaine's sheets." I was wearing skinny red jeans with a blue, white and red plaid shit. I normally dress like this, so I didn't understand the compliments. Was it because of the grey beanie I was wearing?
"Cooper!" Julie and Blaine said at the same time.
"Thanks Coop." I said letting out a small laugh.
"I didn't know you used glasses." Blaine said giving me a confused look.
"Shit! I completely forgot I had them on!" I only use glasses when I'm alone; I usually wear contacts. In all honesty, I only wore my glasses today because of the little adventure Nick, Jeff and I went on.
"I'm not saying that zombies isn't entertaining and all, but how about we stir up a little trouble?" I said throwing myself onto Nick's bed and completely unmaking it.
"Stop being a bad influence Seb." Jeff said sitting down on his bed.
"I say we go undercover and do a little investigating; Hunter has a date with some chick today. Let's follow him and see what he's up to."
"You sound like a child Sebastian. Now get off my bed."
"Not true. And No." I said throwing a pillow at him. Throwing pillows was my shit. Gay… Anyways, where were we?
"Wait, Hunter is going with a girl?" Jeff asked, a look of confusion crossing his already dopey face.
"I told you he wasn't gay."
I felt like Malfoy with his two friends, whatever their names were. Nick and Jeff told me that my glasses didn't really count as a disguise, but it's all I could come up with in such a short notice. Stupid Hunter wasn't even at Bread Stix when we showed up.
"Why don't you always wear them? They suit you." Julie said.
"They make me look like a nerd."
"I say use them." Cooper said.
"Maybe." I said. Blaine handed me a beer, eliciting a confused look from my part.
"It's okay." He said taking some of his wine cooler. "Mom and dad said it was fine to drink as long as we didn't get out of hand."
"Jokes on you Sebastian. If you let Blaine finish that wine cooler you might have a sloppy Blaine running around. It'll be your responsibility to take care of him."
"Cooper!" Blaine yelled again. Something told me that wouldn't be the last 'Cooper!' I'd be hearing that night.
"I'm kidding little brother! Go inside and get the condiments, the foods almost done." Blaine sighed but walked inside to get the things.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked placing the beer down and walking over to Julie.
"No sweetie, just take a seat. There's nothing left to really do."
The cookout actually turned out to be a lot more fun than I had anticipated. We sat around playing card games and laughing at all the stories we had to tell. Back home, I had a pool and I had a grill, but it was mostly just for show. Any get together my father threw involved catering and waiters. This was a nice change; I enjoyed spending time with Blaine and his family. We all sat around as the sunset and watched the stars which were just becoming visible.
"I want smores." Blaine said standing up.
"Good idea. I'll help you." Julie said getting up and trailing behind him.
"Hard to believe you'll be leaving tomorrow." I said as Cooper and I started the fire. Cooper had become somewhat like routine; I would see him every day. I had gotten accustomed to it.
"It's crazy." He said lighting the match. "Although I'm glad this all happened. Mostly because I feel like I can say that Blaine is my best friend. He's not just my brother."
"Blaine told me about how your relationship used to be. I know he's going to miss you. He talked about you in his sleep last night."
"I'm going miss him too." Cooper said reclining back on his chair. Something about Cooper's eyes told me that he was a lot more upset than he let on to me. "Just…make sure to take care of him, okay? He means the world to me Sebastian. I don't want him to be hurt again."
"I'll watch out for him. I promise." Cooper gave me a half smile and nodded his head. He still seemed pretty upset about having to leave.
"I'm sure it goes without say that if you hurt him, you'll be dealing with me, right?"
"What're you guys talking about?" Blaine said coming back out with all the necessary ingredients to a smore. I assumed at least, I've never had one.
"Just threatening the life of your boyfriend." Cooper said nonchalantly. Blaine gave me a confused look when I started laughing.
"Here you go!" Julie said handing me a long stick.
"I'm…actually not sure what to do." I said feeling myself turning slightly red. Not red enough for them to call me out, but I felt my cheeks heating up.
"You've never made a smore?"
"I've never been camping either."
"What?!" Cooper said, as his eyes grew wide. "This has to change. ASAP." Blaine made me my smore, which was absolutely delicious.
"This is so good." I felt my phone vibrate, but decided to ignore it. I wanted to spend as much time with Coop as I could. He was honestly like a brother to me now. As well as Julie; she was such a genuinely kind person.
"Told ya." Blaine said kissing my cheek. "Want another?"
"I'm okay for now." I said taking the last bite of my smore. After a while of sharing more stories and laughing more than I think I've ever laughed, we all went inside to see a movie.
"I think we should say our goodbyes now." Cooper said when the movie was over.
"What? Why? Won't I see you in the morning?" Blaine asked.
"We have a 5 am flight back to Los Angeles. We don't want to wake you up that early."
"No, I do want you to wake me up."
"You have school squirt, sorry." Cooper pulled Blaine's head down so that he could wrestle with him.
"Coop I'm serious." Blaine said getting out of his hold.
"Blaine, don't be so upset. I'll see you soon enough." Cooper said. I knew Cooper was upset too, but he didn't want to show it.
"This sucks Coop. I hate saying goodbyes. Especially to you and Julie. Why can't you guys stay?"
"You know our careers are established in Cali. I want to stay, I really do. But even if I did stay, what would I do when you and Sebastian leave Julie and I for New York?"
"Cooper that's forever away. It's still irrelevant."
"It'll be here before you know it." Something about how Cooper said it made me think there was something behind him saying that. Was he upset that Blaine would be an adult living in the city soon? I wasn't going to say anything. I wouldn't exactly know what it was like to say goodbye to a brother, but I had an idea. "But, because I know you, and I knew you would be upset, we got you these." Cooper pulled out two tickets from his back pocket. "Well, it was Julie's idea. These are for you and Sebastian."
"What are they?" I asked taking mine.
"Well, we want you and Blaine to visit us in Los Angeles but I know ticket prices are steep and you guys have to save for your move to New York, so we decided to buy you guys tickets so that you can come visit us whenever you get a chance."
"Julie, thank you." Blaine said hugging her. "This is awesome!"
"Yeah guys, this is incredible. We'll definitely make use of these tickets soon." I said.
"Don't forget about us okay?" Cooper said hugging Blaine. "You have to video chat us all the time and I expect to be kept up to date with whatever trouble you two are causing. You know I'm here for whatever you need."
"You got it." I said as Cooper brought me in for a hug. I guess I could add Cooper to the people I didn't mind hugging.
"But enough with being melodramatic. We have to go to bed and I suggest you boys do the same." Cooper said messing with Blaine's hair.
"I'm waking up before you leave. I don't care what you say." Blaine said as we all walked up the stairs.
"If you say so." Cooper said shrugging. I walked into Blaine's room so that I could give them some privacy, but I still heard everything they were saying. "Little brother, I love you. You know that right?"
"I love you too Coop."
"We're more than just brothers though, right? We're friends."
"That's all I ever wanted." After saying goodnight, Blaine walked into the room. "I'm sorry I'm being a debby downer."
"You're not." I said tapping the spot next to me. "You have all the reason in the world to be upset. He's your brother and you love him. Of course it's going to hurt having to say goodbye to him."
"I know." Blaine said as he rested against my chest. I ran my fingers through his hair, caressing him and hoping that somehow I could make him feel better. "How was your day?" He asked after a while of sitting there listening to nothing but the sound of our breathing.
"It was alright." I said not really wanting to delve into what happened with Hunter. I remembered then that I had a text from someone.
Didn't you say that Hunter kid was gay? –Santana
Yeah, why? –Sebastian
Way to answer me hours later…and I asked because I thought I saw him with some girl at Bread Stix. –Santana
That ass hole must have told me the wrong time, knowing that I would go to spy on him. Clever, but still an ass hole nonetheless.
Some guy showed up during their date though. He seemed familiar, which led me to snoop and see what I could overhear. Apparently he's some guy from Aural Intensity? –Santana
Aural Intensity? It couldn't be that kid who threatened me and basically got me kicked out of my house, could it? What did he have to do with Hunter?
Weird. I don't know anything about it. Listen, I'm not coming home tonight but I'll see you tomorrow. -Sebastian
Say goodnight to Blaine for me ;) –Santana
"Penny for your thoughts."
"Sorry. I kind of spaced out."
"What's wrong?" Blaine said sitting upright and taking off his shirt. "I can tell something been bothering you since I saw you when you came over."
"It's stupid."
"What're you thinking about?"
"Hunter." As soon as his names left my lips I knew I had just messed up. "Not like that! It's just that Hunter has been acting weird towards me lately and he's been giving me the cold shoulder even though he's supposed to be my friend."
"Is it that serious that it's bothering you?"
"I don't really know. That's the part that's bothering me."
"You should talk to him." Blaine said standing up and walking over to his drawers to pull out a pair of shorts. "I have a feeling I know what it's about."
"You do?"
"It's obvious that he likes you Sebastian. He was the only other person to look at you the same way I do."
"I fucked up." I said standing up and changing into more comfortable clothes. "You're right. I'll talk to him tomorrow. By the way, what're the kids from the New Directions doing this Saturday?"
"I don't know." Blaine said walking back over to the bed. "Why?"
"Jeff…or Nick... whatever, one of them invited us to a Warblers party this Saturday and they wanted all of your friends to come."
"I can ask them. But are you sure Hunter won't care?"
"I don't care if Hunter cares." I said shrugging and adjusting myself on the bed so Blaine could rest his head on my chest again. "Besides, it'll be fun. Or a disaster, either one."
"Let's hope its option A." Blaine said before tilting his head up and kissing me. "Which reminds me, will you be my date to Mr. Schue's wedding next weekend?"
"I thought you'd never ask." I said kissing his forehead.
I tried falling asleep, I really did, but the idea of Hunter somehow being involved with that Aural Intensity kid made me uneasy. He couldn't be involved with the video right? Hunter wouldn't do that…
