The Reason Chapter 45, a glee fanfic

Chapter 45: But Your Enemies Closer

"What's with the smile?" How I went from being in the auditorium to being pinned against the wall in the bathroom stall? Not really sure myself. Sebastian hurriedly undid the top buttons of my shirt while his other hand made it's way down my back, not letting me move from him towering over me (one of the many disadvantages of being short). To be honest, Sebastian probably always tried having the upper hand because of some ego thing. It was as if it somehow asserted his dominance. Two could play at that game, but when Sebastian did these things to me, I couldn't really complain.

"Nothing." Sebastian said, the curve of his lips against my neck a clear indication that he was for some reason happier than usual.

"Wait why are you even here?" I tried resisting, I really did.

"Stop asking so many questions." I tried opening my mouth to ask him another question, but Sebastian knew me too well. Anticipating it, his lips quickly left my neck and were pressed against mine, sucking gently as if to request permission.

"As much," I started before being stopped again by his temptation. "as I want to continue, I prepared a number for glee club and I'm up." Sebastian sighed but parted his lips from mine and resting his forehead against mine, his lips lightly ghosting over my lips.

"You've been here all day. Don't you want to leave this place yet? McKinley literally smells."

"Sebastian, we're in the restroom." I said letting out a small laugh before moving him aside and opening the stall door. "Tends to smell in most public bathrooms." There were a couple of people in the hallway when we both left the bathroom; probably leaving from whatever extracurricular activity they were coming in. If Sebastian had come here in his blazer, he would have stuck out like a sore thumb. Lately though, he's seemed to like this hipster phase he was in. He was wearing his glasses and that grey beanie he seemed to love. It actually suited him well.

"Did you not like the surprise?" He said trailing behind me, hands in pocket, as I made my way down the hall.

"I did, but I was kind of surprised to see that you were the one who texted me from Sam's phone to meet you in the bathroom." I said pulling out my phone to make sure it didn't look like I had just been doing anything in the bathroom. The last thing I needed was to be the talk of the glee club. We all know what happens when the glee club hears the latest gossip. "But I still don't get why you're here." I couldn't help but give a sarcastic look to the girls we passed by who were practically drooling over Sebastian. I felt like Santana was warring off on me.

"I stole his phone on my way to the bathroom." Sebastian said shrugging his shoulders as if stealing someone's phone was completely normal. "I wanted to surprise you. I know that you must be upset about Coop not being here anymore, so like the loyal and devoted boyfriend I am, I took it upon myself to brighten up your day even if just a little bit. I figured since you're coming to the party tomorrow, you could just stay over tonight." Truth be told, I was a hopeless romantic. It was the little things like this that made me love Sebastian every day even more.

"That's sweet of you." I said, my smile bright. I loved the adorable smile that came across his lips every time he made me smile. Okay, enough with this whole lovey-dovey thing, Blaine. Snap out of it. "But you shouldn't steal my friends phones just to get my attention."

"If I texted you from my phone you would have asked questions, just like you always do when we're in the middle of doing what any normal teenage guy wants to do. Sorry I was trying to be fun and spontaneous." I glared at him, remembering that he told me he overheard when Kurt and I got in a fight the night we all went to Scandals. "I won't do it again." He said winking at me.

"Funny." I said nodding putting on an innocent face. "I was about to say maybe we should be more fun and spontaneous, but now you don't seem to want to." I stopped and leaned back on the lockers, crossing my arms and nodding my head sarcastically. "I was going to suggest we could maybe make out again really quick now that the halls are empty."

"If you insist." Sebastian said leaning in.

"You said you wouldn't do it again." I said in a teasing tone. I started walking and turned around. "But who knows? Sam has been looking awfully sexy lately. Maybe he's up for being fun and spontaneous." I said shrugging my shoulders in a playful manner. I heard Sebastian scoff before following after me.

"It's about time you show up." Santana said with her arms crossed as we walked into the back of the auditorium. "Now it makes sense." She said eyeing Sebastian. "You might want to zip your fly Blaine." She said turning around and rolling her eyes.

"Crap." I turned around to zip my pants only to be laughed at by Tina and Brittany who just walked in.

"Quickie before the show B?" Tina said smiling at me as she walked by.

"Not as quick as a Cheetah." Brittany added. I saw Sebastian raise an eyebrow but laugh when he understood what she meant.

"It's not like that!" I said turning a little red.

"Yes it is." Sebastian said kissing me before following Brittany towards the seats. I sighed before making my way onto the stage. I couldn't help but be amused by the look on Sam's face when Sebastian handed him his phone.

"Wait, what's Sebastian doing here? We can't let him see Blaine's performance, he's competition." Sugar said pointing an accusing finger and Sebastian.

"You forget that Blaine was once a Warbler." Sebastian said sitting down next to Santana. "Besides, I hear him sing all the time."

"He's like a modern day eggs benedict." Jake said in reference to Blaine, to which Ryder nodded, agreeing with his best friend.

"Are you New Directions always this uptight?" Sebastian wasn't one to turn down a fight.

"Check him for a wire." Brittany said, joining in on the gang. I don't actually think she understood that her friend was being accused…

"C'mon guys." Finn said trying to stop them. "It's really not that big of a deal."

"What if he sings too?" Sam said patting Sebastian on the back.

"Maybe you should sing with me." I said to Sam, seeing the glare Sebastian gave me from my peripheral vision.

"No, I'll sing." Sebastian said standing up. "Just to show you McKinley kids what it means when real talent takes the stage." I sarcastically laughed, knowing all too well that Sebastian was threatening my honor.

"I demand satisfaction in McKinley tradition." I said crossing my arms.

"Wait, you weren't even there, how did you know Sebastian said the exact same thing?" Santana said quietly enough that I don't think she expected Sebastian and I on stage to actually hear her.

"You're not actually going to have a musical duel with your own boyfriend are you?" Kitty asked. "That's kind of gay." Sebastian and I didn't choose to acknowledge her comment.

"What song will it be? I'll let you choose, maybe then you can win." I said, eliciting an "oooh" sound from the glee club members.

"Hit it." Sebastian said to the band who was casually on stand by.

All I want to get is a little bit closer
All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?
Here comes the breath before we get a little bit closer
Here comes the rush before we touch, come a little closer
The doors are open, the wind is really blowing
The night sky is changing overhead

It's not just all physical
I'm the type who won't get oh so critical
So let's make things physical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical

All you think of lately is getting underneath me
All I dream of lately is how to get you underneath me
Here comes the heat before we meet a little bit closer
Here comes the spark before the dark, come a little closer
The lights are off and the sun is finally setting
The night sky is changing overhead

Here come the dreams of you and me
Here come the dreams
Here come the dreams of you and me
Here come the dreams

It's not just all physical
I'm the type who won't get oh so critical
So let's make things physical
I won't treat you like you're oh so typical
I want you close, I want you
I won't treat you like you're typical
I want you close, I want you
I won't treat you like you're typical
I won't treat you like you're typical
I won't treat you like you're typical
All I want to get is a little bit closer
All I want to know is, can you come a little closer?

A few verses into the song and the whole gang was on the stage singing and dancing with Sebastian and I. Sebastian spent the entire time teasingly dancing around me. He put his arm around my shoulder and pointed to me when everyone was clapping. Finn called it a day after we performed and we all grabbed our things and started leaving the auditorium.

"Hey Sebby! Blaine! Wait up!" Britt said running after us.

"What's up Britt?" I asked turning around to face her.

"The glee club is going to the Lima carnival tonight, you guys should come too. Bring the Warblers!"

"There's a carnival?" I asked somewhat overly amused.

"Aren't we too old for carnivals and rides?" Sebastian said.

"We're never too old for carnivals." Britt said poking Sebastian. "And you better come because I expect you to win me a prize!" Britt waved goodbye before running back to the others, not letting either of us get another word in.

"Looks like I have no choice." Sebastian said holding my hand and making our way to his car.

"You never told my why you were smiling and laughing so much when you attacked me in the bathroom." I said as we started our drive to my place.

"It's nothing." He said smirking.

"Tell me."

"No."

"Tell me."

"No."

"Sebastian!" I said in a pleading tone.

"Fine!" He said, finally deciding to cave in. "Well I was thinking that the first time I ever kissed you I was pleasantly surprised."

"What do you mean?" I asked furrowing my eyebrows.

"Everyone always described you as the school boy innocent type, so I thought you might not be a good kisser. But like I said, I was pleasantly surprised."

"Why would you think of that in a stall of all places?"

"Because that was the first thing I wanted to do to you when my eyes first laid eyes on you," He said winking at me. "and that butt." He said laughing. "Quickie in the bathroom was probably my number one fantasy about us."

"Wait, so, without even knowing me you wanted to molest me in the bathroom?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Kind of daring, don't you think? And how many fantasies do you have…"

"You know me. Always up for a challenge." Sebastian put his finger to his chin and tapped it as if he was thinking. "I think I have 23 scenarios I would like to do. All of them include you under me by the way, incase that wasn't obvious."

"Anyways…" I said opening the car window. It suddenly got very warm. "Did you talk to Hunter today?" Sebastian's eyes seemed to change as soon as I said Hunter.

"No." He said not taking his eyes off the road.

"So how was the date?" I said taking the apple off of Hunter's tray and taking a bite from it. "Was the sex any good?"

"Sebastian." Hunter said, clearly not amused by me. "It's none of your business."

"What's up your ass?" I asked raising an eyebrow and taking another bite.

"Nothing. I'm just saying, it doesn't matter."

"Anything interesting happen?" I couldn't help but ask. I was planning on waiting until he mentioned something about the Aural Intensity guy showing up, but I couldn't help but wonder. And like the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat.

"Not really." He said eating some fries. "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"Word on the street is that some guy interrupted your date." Hunter swallowed his food and sat there frozen. Looks like he didn't know I knew. "How do you know the guy from Aural Intensity?"

"He's an old friend." Hunter said as if it didn't matter at all.

"Hunter, I told you that he was the one who made that video of me and got my father mad enough to…"

"It wasn't his fault Sebastian you can't blame him for that." Why was Hunter defending him?

"No, you're right. It's not his fault." I put down the apple and leaned backwards in my chair. "Did you have anything to do with it? With the video?" Somehow it all made sense. He had pictures and videos of me that no one else would have, unless they were a Warbler. Unless they were close to me. Unless they were my friend. Or a so called friend at least.

"Of course not." He said picking his bag and standing up. "It was nothing more than an old friend I was catching up with. You're name didn't even come up. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go." Hunter turned around and started walking away before stopping and turning to look at me. "And if you're going to be late to the Warblers meeting today, don't bother coming at all."

I was going to go to rehearsal, but his attitude threw my mood off. Instead, I'll make a surprise visit to McKinley right after classes are over.

"Mom, Dad! Sebastian and I are home." I said opening the door to my house. We walked inside to find that it was oddly quiet, one of the many things that I needed to get used to now that Cooper and Julie were gone.

"Welcome home boys! I'm starting dinner now. It'll be done in an hour or so."

"Okay." I said walking into the kitchen and kissing her cheek. "Smells good already."

"Nothing is cooking yet Blaine, stop trying to earn brownie points." She said smiling at me. She turned to Sebastian and kissed him on his cheek. "I wasn't expecting to see you so early Sebastian, I thought you would be here by the time dinner was ready."

"Sorry Mrs. A. Neither was your son, I surprised him at school." Sebastian squeezed my hand when I side glanced at him, praying that he wouldn't tell her what the surprise was.

"Well isn't that sweet of you!" She said, her eyes bright and her smile wide. Seriously, sometimes I thought this woman loved Sebastian more than her own son.

"I try." Sebastian said turning and winking at me when her back was facing the other way.

"Where's dad?" I asked opening the fridge and taking out some yogurt.

"Don't spoil your dinner." She said taking the yogurt from my hand and putting it away. "You're fathers in his office on the phone with some business partners. He should be done soon if you need him."

"No, just wondering."

"We're going to the carnival tonight Mrs. A, so we're going to go upstairs and finish our homework."

"Sure, go ahead boys. I'll make sure to knock before coming in when dinner is ready."

"Mom!" I said, surprised with what she just said. "You sound like Cooper." I groaned turning around and walking away from the both of them.

"Someone's a little upset today." I heard my mom say to Sebastian.

"He just misses his brother. I'll go check up on him." Sebastian said following behind me. Sebastian walked into my room as I had just thrown myself on it, the events of the day finally catching up to me. Suddenly, I was extremely tired.

"Want to take a nap?" Sebastian said sitting next to me.

"What gave it away? My yawn?" I asked, yawning once again. "Would you hate me?" I asked sitting up and resting my head on his shoulder.

"Don't think I ever could." Sebastian turned his head and lifted my chin with his finger, placing a soft kiss on my lips; his lips lingered as they parted from mine, his eyes closed and our fingers intertwined. Sebastian stood up and opened my drawer, tossing me some shorts and a t-shirt.

"And for the record." I said after changing my clothes. "I really did enjoy the surprise today."

"Then my mission was a success." He said sliding under the covers. I closed the shades before meeting him on the bed, snuggling into him and waiting until the exhaustion finally took me.

I should be happy. I really should. I was in bed with the man I loved in my arms, yet the thorn in my side called Hunter Clarington wouldn't let me think, let alone sleep. I was thankful that my phone was on vibrate when it started going off; the last thing I wanted was to wake up Blaine after his long day.

Why weren't you in practice? –Thad

Hunter told me not to go. –Sebastian

Not exactly how he put it. –Thad

Well, did anything exciting happen that I needed to be there for? –Sebastian

Not really. Are you and Hunter fighting again? He was…unusually strict today. –Thad

That's just him Thad. Nothing I can do about it. –Sebastian

I'll take that as a yes. Anyways, I'll see you at the carnival tonight! Say hi to Blaine for me. –Thad

Brittany must have already texted all the boys if That was already aware of the carnival trip. They all seemed to be as fascinated with her as I was. She had this way of suddenly having all the boys want to complete her ever whim.

Blaine was already lightly snoring 10 minutes in. An hour in, but here I was wide-awake and my mind going every which way. It was a pleasant site to see him sleeping; the way his chest lightly went up and down from his breathing, the way his face looked like blissful innocence. I place a kiss on his forehead, making him rustle in his sleep. As quietly as I could, I got out of bed and made my way downstairs.

"Oh, Sebastian! I was about to make my way upstairs." Mrs. Anderson said as I walked into the kitchen. "Where's Blaine?"

"He had a long day so he knocked out almost as soon as we got up there." I said helping her with some little things.

"I never realized that he would miss Coop this much." She said mixing the pot. "Is he okay?"

"Yeah, he's fine. He doesn't really seem like he misses Cooper as much as he does, but I know him better."

"Sometimes I think you might know my own son better than I do." She said shaking her head.

"Sorry." I mumbled, not really sure what to say to that.

"Don't be." She said turning to me. "I'm glad he has someone like you." She placed her hand on my cheek before making her way to the sink. "Do you mind waking him up? It's time for dinner. Actually," She said starting to plate the food. "My husband is still in his office, so while I don't usually allow this, why don't you bring the food up to his bedroom and you two can eat in there while I have dinner in the office with his father?"

"If that's what you'd like." I said smiling to her as she handed me the plate.

"Just make sure not to make a mess!" She handed me two glasses and juice to bring upstairs with me. "And please come say goodbye before you two leave."

"Will do! Thank you Mrs. A." I made my way up the stairs and into his bedroom to find that he was still deep in his sleep. "Blaine." I said, shaking him lightly after I put the tray down. Blaine rolled over slightly but his eyes were closed. I leaned down to kiss his lips, letting the taste of him take over my senses.

"That's better." He said stretching and opening his eyes. "But I still don't want to wake up."

"Well, if you don't your food is going to get cold." I said pointing to the tray beside him. "You're mom says we can have dinner in here, so I thought we could watch a movie until it's time to leave."

"Mom is letting us have dinner in bed?" He asked sitting up and resting against his headboard. "That's really strange."

"You're dad still isn't out of the office so she didn't mind as much. Just don't make a mess." Blaine patted the spot next to him. I pressed play on the DVD before making my way back to him on the bed.

"Hey guys!" I said waving to the gang who was already there. It seemed like the only ones that were still missing were a few of the Warblers.

"Blaine!" Sam said walking over and hi fiving me before bumping fists with Sebastian. "Sebastian where are the rest of the Warblers?"

"Couldn't tell you. I haven't seen any of them since class." Sebastian let go of my hand and walked over to where Nick, Jeff, Thad, and Trent were standing.

"Blaine you have to go on the Ferris wheel with me!" Tina said walking over to me and pulling me by the hand.

"Sure Tina, just let me tell Sebastian." I let go of her hand and walked over to where the Warblers were standing. "Hey guys!" I said hugging them. "I'm glad you guys could make it."

"Well we only came because this way you have to come tomorrow!" Trent said.

"Yeah! The party is going to be crazy. My older brother is buying us all the booze we could need." Jeff said, earning him a high five from Nick and Thad.

"You are coming, right?" Nick asked.

"That's the plan. I'm staying over Sebastian's place tonight so I'll be heading over with him." I looked at Sebastian who had a warm smile on his face. "I'm going on a ride with Tina, do you want to come with?"

"It's okay, you go on ahead. I'm going to wait here with the guys for the rest of the Warblers."

"Okay, well I'll see you guys in a bit." I said turning around and waving goodbye. I ran up to Tina who was talking with Brittany and Marley.

"Hey girls. Are you coming with?"

"Yeah, Kitty and Unique are playing a game with Ryder and Jake so we're going with you."

"Where's Santana?" I asked Britt as we walked to the Ferris wheel.

"She's with Finn and Artie at the concession stands." Britt said. Luckily the line at the Ferris wheel was short and we got on the Ferris wheel shortly after we got there. I paired up with Tina and Britt and Marley got on the one after us.

"So how are things with Sebastian?" She asked looping her arms with mine.

"Everything's good!" I said with a smile on my face. Now that we were at the top of the ride, it was crazy to see how high up we were. I could literally see the entire carnival and even some of the city. "What about you? Are you and Mike…"

"No." She said shaking her head, a smile on her lips but the sadness clear in her eyes. "I still love him, but we both decided it would be best to break up."

"Hey, I mean when Kurt and I broke up it tore me apart, but I found love Tina. You can too." I placed my arm over her shoulder.

"Thanks, I mean I guess your right." When we got back to the bottom, I saw Finn standing in line with Santana getting ready to get on.

"Wait for us after, okay? Let's go on the boat ride!" Santana said.

"I don't know if I can handle that." I said. "I always feel sick after that one."

"Oh man up, Blaine." Santana said rolling her eyes.

"Sebastian was just looking for you by the way." Finn said pointing to where he went.

"Thanks." I said turning away from them. "I'll meet you at the boats in 10 minutes!" I waved goodbye and made my way through the crowded carnival. I bumped into Sugar and Unique who were following some guys around.

"Hey man!" I turned around to see Ryder with Kitty, Jake, and Joe, each of them with giant fried dough in their hands.

"Hey guys! Having fun?"

"Yeah, we're about to head back over to the games if you want to join?"

"I'm already supposed to go on a ride but I'll catch you guys in a bit."

"Okay, we'll see you there." Kitty said taking a bite from her fried dough, spilling the powdered sugar on her cheerios uniform (which she was still wearing for some reason). Well, I couldn't judge. The Warblers wore their blazers everywhere they went, even to the carnival. Except for Sebastian that is.

From the distance I could see Sebastian waving his hand. I walked over to him and saw that he had two cotton candies. "Hey there stranger." He said placing a kiss on my lips and handing me one of the enormous cotton candies.

"Hey!" I said ripping off a piece of the fluffy sweetness. "Thanks." I said putting it in my mouth and letting it melt on my tongue. "Where are the guys?"

"A few of them went on the ride and I think Nick and Jeff are by the clowns. Only Hunter and Richard showed up, I guess everyone else had plans." Sebastian put his hand in his pocket and started walking towards the direction of a stage with some performers on it.

"What's the matter?" I asked noticing that he wasn't as happy as he was before I left him with the guys.

"It's nothing." He said looking at me and smiling. "Want to go on a ride with me?" He said taking his hand out of his pocket and holding it out for me to take.

"Come with me to the boat ride. I'm supposed to meet Santana and Finn there. I'm going to need you to keep me from dying after it though, so be warned."

"Don't tell me you get motion sickness from a ride! They're supposed to be fun!" He said before taking another bite of his cotton candy. "Tina, Sam!" Sebastian took the cotton candy away from me and handed his and mine over to Tina and Sam. "Here, we got these for you." Sam and Tina both looked confused, seeing as it was clearly already half eaten and he didn't even bother to stop walking when he handed it to them.

"Hey! I wasn't done with that, I just got it." I said frowning.

"I'll buy you another one before we leave, but I want to go on as many rides as we can so I can't have you being sick now can I?"

"Hey guys." Finn said waving over to us. Santana and Britt were standing in line calling us over.

"Britt I didn't know you were going on the ride too." Sebastian said hugging her.

"Yeah, but after you have to promise you'll win me a stuffed animal." She said sticking out her pinky.

"Promise." Sebastian said linking his pinky with hers.

"You know, we should just say that Artie is getting on the ride so we can skip ahead of everyone." Santana said. Ouch.

"That's cruel Santana." Finn said.

"No it's not. He's helping the environment by letting us go first." That didn't even make sense. "What's wrong Blaine? You look like you just saw a ghost."

"Maybe I shouldn't do this." I tried turning around but was stopped by Finn.

"Don't chicken out now, we're about to get on." He said. I sighed but turned around, seeing as we were next in line. I couldn't help but laugh a little when I saw the glare that Sebastian was giving Finn when he placed his hand on my shoulders to stop me. It was adorable how jealous he got over the simplest things.

The ride was as bad as to be expected. When I got off, my entire world was spinning. "Oh man, I'm going to be sick."

"Want me to take you to the bathroom?" Sebastian said holding me up.

"I'll take him." Finn said taking Sebastian's spot. "You already promised Britt you'd go with her after the ride. I'll take care of him." Sebastian would have protested, but Britt had already grabbed him and was dragging him away. When we got to the bathroom, I splashed my face with water and tried getting rid of the nauseating feeling in my stomach.

"This is embarrassing." I said taking out paper towels. "You didn't have to follow me here, I would've been fine."

"I wouldn't just leave you like that Blaine, you're my friend."

"Thanks Finn." I threw away the paper towel before opening the door to leave the restroom. "Have you talked to Rachel at all lately?"

"Yeah, she's coming next weekend for the wedding. I'm excited to see her, even though I know she has a boyfriend."

"You never know. Anything can happen." I said patting him on his back. The running blue blazers caught my attention. Finn and I followed behind them; when we got closer to the exit of the carnival, I saw that Hunter and Sebastian were standing really close. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I didn't expect it at all when Sebastian's fist made contact with Hunter's jaw. "What the hell?" I looked at Finn with my eyebrows furrowed before running towards them. Hunter had retaliated by pushing Sebastian on the floor and punching him back. By the time we were close enough, the Warblers and some of the New Directions were pulling them away from each other.

"Sebastian!" I said running over to him. Sebastian didn't look at me; his eyes were filled with anger and his expression furious. He was angry, but something about him told me that above all he was upset.

"Why would you do that?" He said pushing everyone away and walking over to him again. Sebastian's voice wasn't wavering, but his voice was weak…soft, as if he was in denial. I didn't understand what was going on. How did a fun night at the carnival turn into this? "I thought you were a friend." He said pointing an accusing finger at him.

"Looks like that makes two of us who were mistaken." He said spitting out some blood onto the floor. "Is that all you got?" Hunter said smirking at Sebastian.

Sebastian was about to hit him again but I jumped in front of him. "Stop this." I said looking at him straight in the eyes. "You need to calm down." Sebastian dusted himself off before turning around and walking away. I turned around to look at Hunter who was walking away as well, but turned around, a smile on his face.

"Oh and Sebastian, don't bother showing up Monday to Warblers practice." Sebastian stopped in his tracks and all the Warblers turned to look at Hunter. "You're off of the team." Sebastian stood where he was for a while until he took another step in the direction opposite of Hunters. The Warblers were divided, some of them following behind Sebastian, some of them following Hunter.

Sebastian was no longer a Warbler.
