A/N: Sorry it took so long to upload this chapter, school is agonizing :( It's unfortunately short, and the cuts are probably more ragged than I intended them to be, but it works. I'm expecting something dramatic to happen next chapter, so please ber with me! It means so much to me to see an average of 1 follower every 3 days :) That's more than I could have ever asked for, thank you so much ^.^ !

It was weird waking up to a cat licking your face. It was weird waking up in direct sunlight. But the weirdest part? Waking up in another boy's arms. As he cracked open his eye, Sebastian saw the coal black cat's eyes boring into him, along with a glare so harsh it could blind you. He brought his hand to his face to rub his eyes clear of the mucus that had built up so he could see better, but when he could finally open his eyes he realized something was different than it was when he went to sleep last night. There were people. Everywhere. There were voices, colorful shirts, everything. The fact was, with the affectionate body wrapped around him, Sebastian hadn't felt the warmth of the first rays of sun that usually awoke him. Shit. He pulled himself free of the man around him to pick up his shirt, to be greeted by a cat quickly taking his spot next to Blaine. He froze as he heard voices walking past the shrub he was hidden behind.

"I told her that, but she didn't listen. She just kept texting him. And you know what? I'm through with it." He heard a female voice, definitely adult, say as she walked by. He stayed frozen until he heard silence. He quickly reassembled his shirt back on his chest, then tried shaking Blaine awake. It wasn't that he cared, but he knew by the height of the sun they were very, very late for school. Why the hell am I thinking about school right now… More important things to be doing...

"Blaine, wake up, come on. We have to go." He said out loud, shaking Blaine harder. The black cat quickly took its place by jumping onto Blaine, sniffing at his ear.

"Nnnggg…." Blaine murmured, not awake yet. Sebastian sighed before peeking out through the bushes. He saw nobody he knew, thankfully.

"Blaine, seriously, get up. We need to get out of here, I need to get home."

"We've gotta… Call them first…" Blaine muttered, rubbing his eyes, finally sitting up, knocking the black cat off of him.

"Call… Call who, Blaine?" Sebastian asked, frowning in his direction.

"The… Child protective agency…" Blaine hummed softly, obviously still asleep.

"… Alright, enough of that, put on your shirt and let's scram." Sebastian commented awkwardly, grabbing Blaine's shirt and handing it to him. His knees were starting to hurt from kneeling on the hard ground.

"You… But… Dalton… and Kurt… McKinley… Agh, what happened?" Blaine finally said, shaking his head slightly implying he had finally awoken. "Horrible dream… God… Are you alright?" He looked up innocently at Sebastian, caramel-green eyes coated with exhaustion and fright. Sebastian smiled at him.

"We need to go, come on. It would be weird if we randomly got up out of the bushes, so I think we should-" Sebastian began, but was disrupted by Spooky as she darted out from under the bushes, apparently following something. "Hey! Wait!" Sebastian shouted, concerned about where the creature was going, and without thinking, bolted out from behind the bush, leaving the still-shirtless Blaine behind the bush. When Sebastian finally reached the cat, she was rubbing her face against a little girl's leg on the park bench.

"Oh, is this your kitty?" The red-headed girl asked, smiling, but looking concerned, at Sebastian. "Are you a hobo?" She added, upon seeing his hair ruffled and shirt not fastened correctly. Sebastian smiled awkwardly.

"Well, um, sure, we'll go with that. Yes, she's my cat." Sebastian commented, not quite sure how to take the approach. The little girl continued stroking the cat's ears.

"She's cute. What's her name?" She asked, smiling down at the cat.

"Well… I guess it's Spooky." Sebastian answered, again, smiling awkwardly.

"Emma!" Sebastian heard a woman shout in their direction, he assumed it was her mom. Sebastian turned around to see the woman running towards them, concern etched on her face. Sebastian inwardly cursed at himself, because he probably looked like a child abductor. The woman finally approached nervously, going over to her daughter and sitting down next to her. "Emma honey, what did I tell you about bothering strangers, and where did you find that cat?" She asked, nervously glancing at Sebastian.

"Oh, this kitty is that man's kitty. And I know, I know, but he talked to me first." She answered glaring at her mother. The woman looked up at Sebastian, still looking rather worried.

"Yeah, the cat is mine, sorry, I was, uh, chasing after her and she kind of... Um…" Sebastian commented awkwardly, waving his hands absently to express his loss for words.

"Her name is Spooky!" The little girl, Emma, added. The mom smiled down at her. Sebastian glanced over his shoulder when he heard someone else approaching, only to have his gaze met by a shorter, now fully clothed, Blaine. The mom looked very terrified at this point.

"Hey, come on," Blaine started, kneeling down to the cat and petting her with the little girl. "Running away so soon, are you?" Blaine absently asked the cat, smiling kindly. He reached down and lifted the cat into his arms, which surprisingly didn't put up a fight to being handled. Blaine's kindness towards the animal seemed to reassure the mom a bit more. In fact, there seemed to be a gleam of recognition in her eyes, which instantly worried Blaine.

"Hey… Don't you go to Dalton?" She asked, smiling warmly. Emma inattentively started twirling her fingers through her hair, no longer interested in the conversation.

"Well, I used to. I transferred last year. This one, on the other hand," Blaine said, patting Sebastian with his free hand, "does go to Dalton. He's lead Warbler I believe." Blaine smiled warmly at Sebastian, who was still being awkward.

"Oh, I think one of my sons was friends with you. He showed me your picture in the yearbook. You know Jeff?" She asked socially to Blaine.

"Heck yeah, we were best buds!" Blaine said, laughing. Sebastian kind of looked away awkwardly, given his situation with Jeff earlier in the week.

"And you're in the Warblers?" She nodded the question to Sebastian, who up to that point, had been trying to edge away from conversation.

"Yeah, sort of…" He added awkwardly, looking away.

"Then you're still in school…? Why aren't you at Dalton?" She asked, concerned and frowning.

"Um…" Sebastian began, but was interrupted by Blaine.

"Funny mishap on the way to school, Mrs. Lynch. Our cat… Ran away, and we went looking for her. But she was, well, enjoying her time here, so I thought we'd stay for a little while. We already called the school, it's fine." Blaine answered, but you could easily tell he was lying. The mom just raised her eyebrows and shrugged it off.

"Well, alright then… So now that you've found her, where are you going to go?" She asked quizzically, still looking concerned.

"Home." Sebastian answered simply, looking at Blaine fiercely.

"Right…" Blaine said, nodding at Sebastian. "It was nice meeting up with you, Mrs. Lynch. Tell Jeff I said hi, please." Blaine smiled at her.

"Oh wait," Mrs. Lynch interrupted as the boys turned away. "You said you were in the Warblers, right?" She asked to Sebastian.

"Yes ma'am." Sebastian answered nervously.

"Do me a favor, and talk to that boy named Sebastian. He's supposedly the only bully at Dalton, and he's in the Warblers. He hurt my son yesterday over something, he didn't tell me what. Do you know about that?"

"Uh... No, I had no idea. Will do." Sebastian replied tensely. The two boys turned away and began following the trail out to the parking lot. Blaine shrugged.

"Alright, so what are you planning on doing with this cat?" He asked, holding the cat higher.

"Um… Three options, we take her to the animal shelter, one of us takes her home, or we leave her here." Sebastian replied, still acting bothered.

"I don't think she'd like being left here very much. She seems domesticated." Blaine supplied, stroking the unperturbed cat's head.

"True. But-" Sebastian began, but was yet again interrupted by the sheen black coat of the cat disappearing beneath the brush. The boys made no attempt to follow her, and she did not resurface.

"I… I guess that's it. She made her choice." Blaine added, a bit dazed at the swiftness of the situation.

"Alright then… Homeward, I guess. The sun isn't getting any higher; we better start walking if we want to get home before school is let out. Not that it matters…" Sebastian added quickly, looking away embarrassed.

"School, right… Sebastian… About last night." Blaine started, fretfully.

"It's a yes or no answer, Blaine, you can cut to the chase." Sebastian stated haphazardly, shrugging as they walked. "I'd be flattered if you gave some stretched-out explanation, but all I really need is a simple yes or no."

"I… Not yet. I think… I think maybe it would be best if we ignored each other for a few days, and then maybe talked again in… A week? Would that be okay? I'm sorry, It's just… I want to make sure I'm making the right choice…" Blaine answered, frightened.

"Blaine…" Sebastian stated into thin air, head facing forward. "… Maybe that might be best. It would give me a chance to get my shit together, maybe make some well-overdue apologies. And for you to pick up the remains of your relationships that are splattered all over the walls after what's happened." Sebastian said, smirking.

"… Thank you." Blaine said simply. Sebastian nodded, and when Blaine made to say 'I'm sorry', Sebastian simply put his finger on his mouth, making a soft shushing noise that could only be heard faintly through the birds chirping in the cool autumn air. He then playfully zipped his lips closed, then pretended to padlock them and throw the key behind them.

Silence followed the rest of the walk home.

Blaine's life for the past week had been hell. The jocks had teased him, and now there was nobody who had his back. The Glee club members had ignored him whenever he walked in the room, so by Thursday he decided to stop coming. It was now Friday, and he was in the middle of study hall when a chair was yanked out and somebody sat next to him. He refused to give Kurt the luxury of having Blaine look at him willingly.

"How is he…? I heard about what happened with Sebastian's dad…" Kurt started anxiously in a whisper.

"I don't know. I haven't talked to him." Blaine replied honestly.

"Oh… So… You aren't… Y'know… Dating him anymore?" Kurt asked nervously.

"Kurt…" Blaine looked into the burning, fiery blue eyes that he so longed to fall into, to comfort, to wipe the tears away from again. "… He asked me to transfer back to Dalton." Blaine said softly, waiting for the tears to fall from the beautiful sapphire eyes, but they didn't.

"… And I'm assuming you're going to, then?" Kurt asked. Although it was apparent he was trying to stay strong, Blaine couldn't help but hear the way his voice cracked, or the way his eyes flickered with the dangerous threat of breaking again.

"I told him I'd think about it. That's why we aren't talking. We're evaluating our decisions." Blaine answered, breaking eye contact. Kurt could tell Blaine didn't want to upset anyone by his decisions.

"Blaine… You're dealing with some dangerous things here." Kurt said sympathetically. He debated whether patting Blaine on the back would be appropriate. "I think… I think you can do what you want… But if you leave McKinley… I'll miss you. I really will. I'll miss seeing you, even if you aren't speaking to me." Hazel and sapphire met again when both boys stared meaningfully into each other's eyes.

"You know I'm doing this to help him… Right?" Blaine asked, eyes beginning to water silently.

"I know…" Kurt added, looking away again as tears formed in his own eyes.

"I know… I know you said you didn't want to speak to me again after this, but… Would you mind if we could at least be friends?" Blaine asked.

"Blaine… I don't know. You are a nice young man; I'll admit that, but… I don't think I could stand to see you, when all I can think of when I see you is how special you were to me…" And with that, the tall lean boy stood, and marched away, desperate to hide the tears beginning to stream out of his crystal blue eyes. Blaine could do nothing more than close his eyes and hope his own tears didn't fall.

His decision was for the best. He could not stay at McKinley any longer.

2:35 P.M.

Hey Sebastian, I know it hasn't been a week yet… But I wanted to text you and let you know I can't take it here any longer. Everyone hates me. -Blaine

2:39 P.M.

Blaine, I don't hate you. –Sebastian

2:42 P.M.

I know, but… Everyone else does. At this school. I have had the 'f' word thrown at me multiple times this week. Both of them. Along with being shoved into lockers. –Blaine

2:43 P.M.

… Call me. –Sebastian

2:45 P.M.

I can't. Parents are making me sit in the living room and watch Twilight with them. That's why I'm texting you. Everyone else in my contacts hates me right now. –Blaine

2:48 P.M.

Twilight? Really? Couldn't they pick something better, like Harry Potter? –Sebastian

2:49 P.M.

That's what I was thinking. –Blaine

2:51 P.M.

That's a wasted Saturday afternoon if you ask me. I'd complain to the faculty about that. By the way, my dad's been ignoring me. Did your dad tell you what happened after we left? –Sebastian

2:53 P.M.

No… All I was told is my dad worked it out. Which usually means some sort of fight happened.

Also, I think they're making me watch this so I learn something. You know, choose between two people. Vampire that sparkles or the werewolf. –Blaine.

2:54 P.M.

Assuming I'm the big, strong, hot beast and gay-face is the sparkly fairy? Maybe. I never watched it, so I don't know which one Bella chooses. –Sebastian

2:54 P.M.

… The sparkly fairy… -Blaine

2:57 P.M.

… Oh. Right. Yeah, they're trying to teach you a lesson then. –Sebastian

2:59 P.M.

I've got to go. They want me to pay attention. e.e –Blaine

3:00 P.M.

Okay. –Sebastian

"Blaine, are you sure you want to transfer back to Dalton after the heck we went through to get you out?" Blaine's father asked from the other side of the dinner table. Blaine knew his father was only concerned because he knew Sebastian went to Dalton, he was sure of it.

"Yes, dad. Everyone at McKinley hates me, and nobody is backing me up anymore. I have no friends, and no reason to stay." Blaine answered, keeping his head bowed low.

"… If that's what you feel needs to be done, son. But we're not transferring you back to McKinley again until at least next year, understood?" His father said sternly, looking Blaine in the eyes. "And I'm supposing you're going to want to board there like you did before, even though it's only an hour away?"

"Yes, dad. We aren't that rich. The dorm would pay for itself in the gas money we save." Blaine answered. "And it's less of a hassle."

"Well what about that Sebastian kid? He drives every day, doesn't he?" His dad asked.

"His dad is a businessman, they're rich, Sebastian drives a fast car, and they're closer to Dalton." Blaine retorted, shrugging. "His dad likes to keep him in sight to torture him. He could get a dorm if he wanted to."

"… Alright. Fine. But I was enjoying having you home…" His father said, ending the conversation by standing up and walking into the next room, his mom following suit. Blaine sighed, sitting at the empty kitchen table.

Blaine was going back home.

"And Blaine Anderson is back at Dalton!" The Warblers greeted as he walked through the doors to the room they used to rehearse. Blaine had never had a better Monday. They all were hugging him, patting his back, and greeting him with warmest regards, while a face stood in the background, watching, thinking, and evaluating the scenario.

Sebastian had forgotten Blaine was lead Warbler. He had also forgotten that now that he was back, surely the council would elect him. He had also forgotten that now that Blaine was back…

Nobody would ever listen to him again.

He would be bossed around like before.

Nobody was afraid of him anymore.

… And when that happened, that was usually when he moved on to the next school…

But he couldn't do that, now could he?

No. He was trapped here.

With Blaine.

With a boyfriend.

Who he was expected not to cheat on.

… Karma is such a bitch.
