Author's Note: Hello my dears! I sincerely apologise for the delay of this chapter, because I said it'd be uploaded last Sunday/Monday, but alas it has taken me a week to complete it, what with the numerous amount of exams, concerts and performances I had going on last week. I finish school on Thursday for the Christmas holidays, so I will have more time to write! YAY! So anyway, enjoy this chapter!

Within a couple of months Sebastian and Blaine had become good friends, sharing a few classes a week, always sitting together at lunch and sleeping in the same dorm room. Of course Blaine had made a few other acquaintances, but Sebastian was his closest friend.
"Seb I'm gonna go grab some dinner, do you want anything?" Blaine asked, slipping on his Dalton sweatshirt
"No thanks, I have so much homework to do and food will just distract me" Sebastian laughed from the other side of the room
"Okay, see you later" Blaine chuckled as he jogged out the door
After Blaine had left, Sebastian walked over to his desk to borrow Blaine's textbooks because he had left his in the locker room which was now locked. As he was gathering up the plethora of brick-like books, he couldn't help but notice a black leather case lying in one of Blaine's open drawers. Cautiously looking around, Sebastian set the books back down on the table and slowly opened the drawer. He picked up the mysterious item and opened it carefully, only to find pages and pages of Blaine's beautifully-crafted handwriting.
Blaine's diary. Sebastian thought excitedly as he frantically rushed to the door and locked it, slipping onto his bed with the diary in his grasp. He turned to the most recent entry, and started to read:
Dalton. 2 months in. Currently studying for the December exams, so I'm kinda stressed at the moment, but luckily Sebastian is keeping me sane Sebastian. If I had a cent for every time I mentioned him in here, I would be an extremely rich man. I can't help it; he's just an amazing person and has made me feel so welcome here, which I never expected from anyone. When I first started at Dalton, I had a slight horrible feeling that he was going to cause some sort of trouble for me, just because...well he looks like the kind of guy who could break your heart in a matter of seconds. Not that I'm planning on falling in love with him, but you never know what might happen. And that's another problem...love. I am so inexperienced, it's almost unreal. I'm starting to think it's me, like there's something clinically wrong with my appearance or personality that repels people. I suppose being gay doesn't really help either, not that anyone here knows about that. I'm not ashamed of whom I am, but the less people know about my private life, the better. Even Sebastian doesn't know that I'm gay, and I really don't know what to do about that. It could go any way if he knew; he could completely disown me as a friend, he could not care and just continue to be my friend, or...the feeling could be mutual. As wonderful as the latter would be, I doubt Sebastian is gay. I see girls flock around him all the time, which of course leaves me feeling quite jealous, but there's nothing I can say.
Oh great, Sebastian has literally just stepped out the shower and only has a towel around his waist. I'm trying to resist the temptation to look at him but...my God he has great abs. The way in which the single drops of water slowly trail down his torso is just...it's too much, I've gotta stop writing now before I get too carried away.
Sebastian just sat and stared at the diary whilst he tried to process what he had just read, mouth agape in shock. He was so deep in thought that he didn't notice that Blaine had walked in through the door, face splashed with a deep red.
"Sebastian" Blaine said in a low voice "what are you reading?" he asked rhetorically, because he knew well enough what he was reading. Sebastian gulped loudly,
"Um, nothing" he replied, his voice cracking slightly
"Don't lie to me Seb, you're reading my diary aren't you?" Blaine started walking slowly towards Sebastian, with tears forming in his eyes. Sebastian got up from the bed and backed up towards the wall, away from Blaine. Suddenly, Blaine snapped and he ran towards Sebastian shoving him forcefully into the wall before taking the diary from the bed and shutting it back in his drawer. He looked back at Sebastian, eyes red and face tear-stained. At that moment, for Sebastian, it felt like someone had stabbed him in the stomach. The look of pure devastation on Blaine's face was enough to send him into a blithering mess, and it finally settled in that he had just read his friend's diary. He, Blaine's only real friend at Dalton, had just betrayed him.
"Why?" Blaine asked, desperately "Why would you just go and read my personal diary and completely violate my privacy like that, why?" tears continued to stream down Blaine's face, and each one was like a drop of poison on Sebastian's racing heart. He never thought that seeing someone upset could affect him so much, which caused him to feel completely overwhelmed with emotion. He hesitated, before stepping towards Blaine and asking delicately,
"Why didn't you tell me you were gay?" Blaine clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white, and punched Sebastian hard across the face.
"Don't you dare talk to me about my sexuality!" Blaine yelled, eyes blazing. Something in Sebastian suddenly triggered, causing him to move so he was mere centimetres away from Blaine, purposely towering over him with a superior look in his eyes.
"Who the fuck do you think you are, Anderson?" he said harshly, staring daggers at Blaine "I welcome you to this school with open arms, look after you, even share my room with you, and how am I repaid? Oh yes, with this!" he shouted, pointing to the large bruise forming around his eye and the blood slowly seeping out of the corner.
"Well you should have thought of that before you went rifling through my stuff!" Blaine replied
"You know you've some nerve to go reading my diary, and then expect me just to open up about the things in there as if I've known you for years!"
"I'm just trying to help!" Sebastian yelled in reply, "Fuck this" he added before grabbing his jacket and storming towards the door "You're an ungrateful little asshole, you know that, Anderson?" he exclaimed, taking one last look at Blaine before walking out the door and shutting it with a violent slam.
