Here's chapter 9! Things are definitely getting more awkward for Blaine now. Who's excited for Glee tomorrow?! I am! I just wish Sebastian was promoted to regular and then we could have sweet sweet Seblaine... But maybe Sebastian will be back! Let's hope! But until then, we have fan fiction to feed our Seblaine cravings! So I hope you guys like this chapter! :)
Blaine didn't sleep well that night. Before the couple headed to bed, Blaine, as promised, had made phone calls to all of the guests who would be in attendance at their wedding. There were many complaints over already booking their airline tickets and already having taken those days off from work but Blaine explained to them all that this was necessary and they would understand if they couldn't make it. Calling their parents was the most difficult of the tasks.
"But Blaine, why?" his mother asked when she finally answered her phone, the fifth time Blaine called her.
"Because of Nick and Jeff, mom. I already told you that," Blaine explained for what seemed the one hundredth time that day.
"Well, okay son. But just know we won't be able to be there only but a day before the wedding takes place," his mother said. Blaine internally sighed in relief. He didn't want his parents there that much anyway because he knew what would happen. His mother would try and take over and plan everything the way she wanted it. Not that it had to be good enough for her son, but good enough because she was going to be there and she was attending the ceremony and the reception. But his father would go around to everybody and hand them his business cards. He insisted that how he got most of clients was by handing out business cards at social events and his son's wedding would be no exception.
"That's fine mom, as long as your here for the wedding," Blaine told her.
"Well, okay Blaine. We'll see you then," she said before hanging up. The call to Burt and Carole wasn't any better though.
"Blaine, have you guys thought this through? Are you sure you want it sooner?" Burt questioned.
"Yes," Blaine lied, "Everything is already set up for the new date and we're both ready."
"Okay, if you guys are sure…" Burt said.
Blaine tossed and turned for hours when he was finally done with all the phone calls. Kurt was sleeping soundly next to him with his back to Blaine and Blaine watched the gentle movements of Kurt's chest and back as they moved up and down with every breath. Blaine knew he loved Kurt. But he wasn't so sure he would love him forever anymore. He wasn't sure if they were soul mates, that they were the ones for each other. But when he thought of Sebastian…he felt he could be with him forever and never grow tired of him. Blaine didn't even want to think of what that meant so he turned over and closed his eyes, practically forcing himself to fall asleep. But that didn't happen until much later that night.
In the morning Blaine did not want to get out of bed.
"Blaine, come on, we have to get to class," Kurt said as he nudged Blaine. Blaine grumbled and shook his head.
"I'm tiiiiiirred," he complained. Kurt rolled his eyes and say on top of Blaine. Kurt began to bounce up and down, shaking Blaine. Blaine groaned again. "Fine, I'll get up!"
Kurt smiled in satisfaction and got off of Blaine. Blaine threw his blanket off and got up. He dressed silently and sat down at the kitchen table with his bowl of cereal. Kurt sat down across from him and looked at him with a sad expression on his face.
"Are you okay, hon?" Kurt asked. Blaine looked up at him.
"I'm just really tired. I didn't sleep much last night," Blaine said, rubbing his eyes. Kurt took Blaine's hand from across and kisses his knuckles.
"Did it bother you having to call everyone? I know that's dealing with a lot of people," Kurt said.
"It was rough but I'm okay," Blaine said slurping his milk out of his bowl. Kurt brought his and Blaine's bowls to the sink and began to wash them. Blaine looked over at Kurt. He loved him so much. Maybe it would be best to try and forget about Sebastian in that way. He could remember him, but as nothing more than a stripper his friends hired to dance for him. That'd be hard, but for the sake of Kurt he had to do it. Blaine got up and wrapped his arms around Kurt's waist. He pressed a soft kiss to the older man's shoulder.
"How about we go out to dinner tonight? Maybe see a show?" Blaine asked. Kurt turned around in Blaine's arms and smiled wide.
"That sounds perfect, Blaine. I'd love to," Kurt said. Blaine smiled and kisses Kurt's lips softly. Kurt smiled and wrapped his arms around Blaine's neck.
"Come on. We have to get to class," Kurt said. Blaine nodded and pecked Kurt's lips once more.
"Okay, baby," Blaine said. They released each other and grabbed their bags. They headed out the door, hand in hand. The got into the car and Kurt drove to campus. Blaine looked over at his fiancé and smiled the whole ride there. Maybe Kurt was the one. Maybe it was just the thrill of being with someone that was different was all that was exciting to Blaine. But Blaine still got excited with Kurt. Blaine just needed to focus on Kurt and he'd be okay. They got to the campus and Kurt parked. They walked towards central campus before they needed to part to go to their separate classes.
"I'll see you later, sweetie. Have a good day of class," Kurt said, kissing Blaine on the cheek. Blaine smiled and pulled Kurt into a hug.
"Bye, hon," Blaine said. Kurt playfully smacked Blaine's ass and began to walk away with a smirk. Blaine smiled to himself and headed off towards his class.
Sebastian looked around, seeing plenty of attractive college guys around the campus but hadn't seen the most attractive one that he was looking for yet. Then finally he saw him. He smiled wide when he saw the perfect man with the gelled down black hair walked down the street.
"Blaine!"
Blaine turned his head. He could've sworn he had just her name be called. He looked around and finally saw Sebastian standing there, waving at him. Blaine couldn't believe it. Blaine had an immediately grin spread across his face. He ran down the street, through people and jumped into Sebastian's arms. Sebastian caught Blaine in his arms and began to laugh in happiness. Sebastian's pressed his lips into Blaine's hair carefully; worried Kurt might be looking on. Blaine looked up at Sebastian and then hugged him tightly again.
"What are you doing here?! You came all the way from Ohio, why?!" Blaine asked excitedly. Sebastian smiled adoringly down at Blaine.
"To see you. I didn't like not being near you. I couldn't even take it for a day. I mean…" Sebastian sighs, "I know you have Kurt. I just…n-needed to see you."
Blaine had never heard Sebastian sound nervous before but now he did. Like he was afraid he had done something wrong. And then Blaine remembered Kurt. And that he had told himself he wouldn't think of Sebastian like that anymore because of Kurt. But now as he looked at the man standing in front of him, he knew there was no way he would ever be able to do that. And there was that feeling again that he didn't want to think about what that meant.
"I needed to see you too, Sebastian," Blaine admitted, not knowing exactly how true that was until he said it out loud. Sebastian smiled.
"Wait, do you have class now?" Sebastian asked, looking at his watch. Blaine rolled his eyes and linked his arm through Sebastian's.
"Yes, but I'm not going now. Let's go get some coffee," Blaine said, tugging Sebastian towards a coffee shop. Sebastian smiled and willingly went with Blaine. Blaine took him inside and pulled him into a booth in the corner. Blaine looked down at the menu but Sebastian just kept looking at Blaine. He studied the way his eyes moved when he read a new item on the menu. He studied the way that sometimes his lips would move as he read the words on the page. He studied the way the muscles in his hands and arm would flex whenever he turned a page. He wanted to memorize everything about this man. Blaine noticed he was being watched and looked up. He blushed when he looked Sebastian in the eyes.
"What?" Blaine asked shyly. Sebastian smiled at him.
"Nothing. You're just too good to be true," Sebastian said. Blaine blushed deeper and buried his growing smile in his menu. Sebastian smiled at gave him one last look before looking down at the menu. They each decided to get a coffee and a sandwich to split.
"When did your flight get in?" Blaine asked once the waitress had gone and taken the menus with her.
"This morning. I landed around eight," Sebastian told him. Blaine's eyes widened.
"You took that early of a flight?" Blaine asked, shocked. Sebastian just kept smiling at him.
"I told you. I really wanted to see you," Sebastian said and made Blaine blush.
"I'm glad you came," Blaine said honestly. Sebastian studied Blaine's face.
"Are you really? Aren't you afraid Kurt will see me?" Sebastian asked, hating to bring up Kurt even though he knew one of them had to do it sooner or later. Blaine sighed and looked down at the table.
"I don't know, Seb. I'm just glad you're here," Blaine admitted. Sebastian nodded, unsure of what to say. The food came and Blaine handed half of the ham and cheese sandwich to Sebastian. Sebastian smiled at him thankfully and took a bite. Blaine took a sip of his coffee and began to eat as well. "So where are you staying?"
"I'm not sure," Sebastian said with a shrug. Blaine frowned. He didn't really have room for Sebastian couldn't just let him roam around New York City looking for a place to stay.
"All I can offer you is my couch. I wish we had a spare bedroom but we don't," Blaine said.
"Blaine, I can't stay with you," Sebastian said with a slight shake of his head. Blaine frowned even though he knew that was true.
"I-I know… But I want you to…" Blaine said sadly. Sebastian sighed and handed the waitress his credit card. "Thanks for lunch."
"No problem, Blaine. Would you like to do anything now?" Sebastian asked. Blaine looked up at him.
"Of course. How long are you here for?" Blaine asked back.
"I'm here for a week," Sebastian told him. "I haven't bought my return ticket yet though."
"Okay," Blaine said with a nod. "What would you like to do? There's plenty to do in New York."
"I've always wanted to see Central Park," Sebastian said with a smile. Blaine smiled in return. He loved Central Park. He thought it was so romantic there. So he shouldn't want to go there with Sebastian, but of course he did. They stood up and walked out of the coffee shop.
"Is it a far walk?" Sebastian asked.
"No, not at all. It's right around the corner," Blaine said, resisting the urge to hold Sebastian's hand. They began to walk through campus so they could get to the park when Blaine, yet again, head his name being called. Blaine turned his head and turned pale white when he saw Kurt walking towards them.
"Blaine, hey!" Kurt said, reaching the two men. "Who's this?"
"Oh, um… T-This i-is Sebastian…" Blaine stuttered out. Kurt smiled at Sebastian.
"It's nice to meet you Sebastian, I'm Kurt," Kurt said extending his hand to Sebastian. Sebastian looked Kurt up and down. Damn it, he was hot. Sebastian put on his best fake smile and shook Kurt's hand.
"Likewise," Sebastian said, which may have been the biggest lie he had told in his entire life.
"How do you two know each other? Do you go here, Sebastian?" Kurt asked, looking back and forth between the two men.
"Uh… uh…" is all Blaine managed to get out.
"I'm from Ohio. One of Blaine's friends," Sebastian said, not lying at all. Kurt smiled.
"Oh, that's nice. Were you at his bachelor party?" Kurt asked.
"Yeah, he was," Blaine said, again, not lying at all. Kurt nodded.
"So what brings you to New York?" Kurt asked.
"I've never been here before, I wanted to see what all the hype was about," Sebastian said, looking around at all the different buildings around them.
"I assume you're invited to the wedding?" Kurt asked, shooting a glance at Blaine to see if he would respond.
"Uh, yeah, he is…" Blaine said quietly, desperately wishing he could get out of this awkward conversation.
"Did Blaine tell you about the wedding date being changed?" Kurt asked, looking back to Sebastian.
"Oh, uh, no he didn't," Sebastian said with a shake of his head. Kurt smiled.
"Okay, well it's in six days! Will you still be here then?" Kurt asked. All the color drained from Sebastian's face. Six days? Blaine was getting married in six days?
"U-Um, I'm not sure actually…" Sebastian said, feeling the urge to crawl back into his bed again. Blaine looked at him, knowing he said he'd be here a week.
"B-But you said…" Blaine said, looking at Sebastian.
"I know. But I also said I didn't buy my return ticket yet," Sebastian said sadly, looking to the ground. Blaine looked down to the ground as well. Kurt could sense the awkwardness, even though he had no idea why this situation was awkward.
"Okay… Well, where are you staying, Sebastian? We can't let you just stay in a hotel if you're friends with Blaine. We could buy an air mattress for you," Kurt said. Blaine knew that Kurt wouldn't take no for an answer no matter how hard Sebastian fought against it.
"No Kurt, thank you but I'm perfectly fine in a hotel," Sebastian said, shaking his head. Kurt frowned.
"I insist, Sebastian. Please come stay with us," Kurt asked. Sebastian sighed, knowing there was no way out of this.
"Okay, sure. Thank you," Sebastian said. Kurt smiled.
"Perfect! Now, where are your bags?" Kurt asked.
"I dropped them off at a hotel and paid them to hold them for me," Sebastian explained. Kurt nodded.
"Okay, well we'll take my car over there now, get them, buy and air mattress and get you settled back at home," Kurt said. Both Sebastian and Blaine nodded and followed Kurt to the car. They all got in the car, Sebastian in the back seat, and took off for the hotel that Sebastian appointed them to. They did as Kurt said, went to get Sebastian's bags, bought and air mattress and headed back to the apartment. They had all gotten up to the apartment and Sebastian stored his things in the hall closet.
"Oh shoot! I forgot my school bag in the car. I'll be right back," Kurt said, running out the door and down to the car. Once Sebastian was sure Kurt couldn't hear them he turned to Blaine.
"Six days, Blaine?!" Sebastian all but shouted. Blaine frowned and looked away from Sebastian.
"I told him we needed to change the wedding date and I meant push it back but he pushed it forward. I'm sorry…" Blaine said.
"Why were you changing it to begin with?" Sebastian asked. Blaine looked up at Sebastian with puppy dog eyes.
"Because of you. I wanted more time to figure out what I really want. Him or…you," Blaine admits. Sebastian looks back at Blaine with adoration mixed with confusion.
"Blaine…" Sebastian says and then sighs. "You're marrying Kurt. Why do you care so much about me?"
"I just do," Blaine said, taking a step closer to Sebastian. "You feel it too, I know you do. You flew all this way to see me. You don't want me to marry him."
"Of course I don't. But you have to. He loves you. And you love him. Wait…why did you tell Kurt you were changing the date? Because of me…?" Sebastian asked.
"No, I would be dead if I told him that. I told him my friends can't be there on that day because they're adopting a baby," Blaine explained. Sebastian sighed and rubbed at his forehead.
"Maybe I should just go home," Sebastian said in defeat.
"No!" Blaine yelled, pulling Sebastian into a hug. "Please don't go."
Sebastian laid his head on top of Blaine's.
"I don't want to. But I think it's best for everyone involved," Sebastian says. Blaine pulls away and looks up at Sebastian.
"Please don't. Now that you're here…I can't lose you again…" Blaine says, tears beginning to form in his eyes. Sebastian sees the look on Blaine's face and knows he'd do anything to make him smile.
"Okay, I'll stay," Sebastian says. Blaine nods and wipes at his eyes.
"Thank you," Blaine says.
"But I can't come to the wedding. I can't…" Sebastian said, looking down to the floor and playing with his fingers. Blaine was about to say something but Kurt came back into the apartment. He set his bag down on the coffee table.
"So," Kurt said, "would you like to accompany Blaine and I to dinner and a show tonight?"
Sebastian looked over at Blaine, silently asking for permission.
"We'd love to have you, Sebastian," Blaine added. Sebastian nodded.
"Sure, I'd love to. Thank you guys," Sebastian said.
Blaine took a deep breath. He was going on a date with two men at the same time. He wanted both. He wished he could have both. And he might possibly love both.
I feel bad for all three of them in this scenario. Sebastian: the one person he might actually love is going to be married in less than a week! Kurt: He has no idea that his fiance is infatuated with another man, let alone a man he's letting stay in his home. Blaine: He has to pick! He has to be a mess. Because he knows he's going to hurt someone that he really cares about :( I know what's gonna happen but you guys just have to keep checking back to see ;) Bye guys, thanks for reading!
