Okay...I am so glad I watched Dance With Somebody before posting this! It has changed a few things I was planning on for this fic. So, this chapter will have spoilers for Dance With Somebody.
Blaine looked around the crowded dining hall for Kurt. He disappeared about ten minutes ago. Where is he? Come to think of it, Sebastian, Cooper, and Scott are missing too. What was going on? Blaine got up and walked around keeping his eyes out for his brother and boyfriend. No sign of them. However, he did see someone Kurt described as Chandler.
'Hmmm.' Blaine glared at the tall boy. His blond hair was slicked back, and his glasses were perched neatly on the bridge of his nose. He was standing at the refreshment table. Blaine walked calmly over to the boy. Mike and Sam saw Blaine walking angrily towards the blond haired boy and stood up and kept their distance from Blaine ready to back him up if needed. Blaine tapped Chandler on the shoulder. "Excuse me, are you Chandler?"
Chandler turned to Blaine and smiled in surprise. "Yes. Do I know you?"
"No, but you know my boyfriend Kurt Hummel." Blaine raised an eyebrow. "I'm Blaine."
Chandler's eyes widened and his stomach dropped. 'Crap...' He sighed. "Look, I didn't know he has a boyfriend. If I'd known, I would've backed off, I swear."
Blaine studied Chandler's expression. It didn't look like he was lying, but, since Sebastian, Blaine couldn't help being careful. "I ought to knock your teeth out for messing things up between me and my boyfriend." Blaine advanced towards Chandler, who stepped back a little. "But, honestly..." He relaxed a little. "I want to thank you. We became a stronger couple because of you. So...thanks."
Chandler sighed inwardly with relief. "No problem. I can imagine how you must have felt. My ex-boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend. Twice."
"Yikes, I'm so sorry." Blaine said sincerely. He smiled a little. "If it's any consolation, I don't blame you for going after Kurt."
Chandler chuckled. "Well...a guy like Kurt comes around only once, maybe twice in a lifetime."
Blaine stared at Chandler intently. He seemed very different from Sebastian. Maybe he misjudged him. "Chandler, you are going to find someone who will completely fall for you one day."
"Thanks." Chandler smiled. "I would like to get to know you two...as friends. Would that be okay?"
"I'd like to believe you really are a good guy." Blaine admitted. "But, you'll have to excuse my paranoia and distrust. I tried to be friends with a gay guy earlier this year, and he ended up almost blinding me."
"Ouch." Chandler cringed in sympathy. "I promise I'll never flirt with Kurt- or you- again. I'm not a boyfriend stealer. My ex-best friend scared me out of that."
Blaine smiled and nodded. "All right. I guess I'll have to trust you on that. Hey...at least Kurt will have another familiar face in New York besides his brother and future sister-in-law."
Chandler smiled and nodded. "I'll shake off pursuers, if you'd like."
Blaine laughed. "That'd be great. Thanks."
"No problem. I'm glad we had this talk." Chandler replied.
"Me, too." Blaine said sincerely. He couldn't wait to tell Kurt the good news.
...Now where'd that boy get to?

Kurt doesn't get scared often. He just takes a deep breath and stand his ground to whatever happens to him. However, this time, he was locked inside a bathroom alone with Sebastian. Who knows what he's capable of. Kurt tried very hard not to show any fear and folded his arms across his chest.
"So talk." He said, keeping his voice steady.
Sebastian stepped forward and looked to the side for a few seconds, then turned to Kurt. "Should I be worried?"
Kurt raised an eyebrow. "About?"
"Finn." Sebastian continued walking slowly towards Kurt. "He does have a tendency to out gay people."
"He only did that once, and it was indirectly!" Kurt snapped defending Finn. "Plus, Santana had it coming. And how did you know about that?"
"Blaine told me." Sebastian admitted. "You know, if you guys were in the Harry Potter books, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to have him as a Secret Keeper."
Anger boiled up inside Kurt. How dare he! "No, you shouldn't be worried. Rachel and I made sure Finn won't...bother you too much."
"Doesn't seem to be working." Sebastian commented.
"He won't out you to your parents, Sebastian, I promise." Kurt said earnestly. "May I ask why you haven't told them yet?"
"You've seen how he acts towards gays." Sebastian shrugged. "Not exactly the kind of guy you'd want to come out to. We...we haven't spent a lot of time together."
"Is that why you feel the need to whore yourself to other guys and steal other people's boyfriends?" Kurt asked.
"Can't get your heart broken if you stay detached." Sebastian said dismissively.
"Is that why you wanted Blaine?" Kurt asked raising an eyebrow.
"You should now by now I just wanted to tap his ass." Sebastian said, smirking. "But, I'm getting bored. That should make you happy."
"It does, actually." Kurt smiled humorlessly. "However, that means you'll be moving on to someone elses' boyfriend."
Sebastian chuckled. "You are hilarious. Is your sense of humor- or lack thereof- why Blaine fell in love with you? Or was he just desperate?"
"No, 'cause then he'd be with you if he was desperate." Kurt smirked and winked.
"Wow, nice comeback." Sebastian said sarcastically. "Did your mom teach you that? Oh wait- she's dead."
Kurt dug his fingernails into his skin in anger. It took all his strength not to strangle that prick. "At least she would've been accepting of my sexuality."
"Really? Who's to say she didn't already know and killed herself because of you being gay?" Sebastian smiled in amusement at Kurt's expression.
'Don't do it. Remember your morals...think of your dad's career...' Kurt thought as he shook in fury. He could only glare at Sebastian. "You have no self-preservation, do you?"
Sebastian sighed dramatically. "I'll admit- I did not know that your dad is a congressman. I guess this goes to show that Plaine Blanderson likes guys with powerful famillies. Maybe I was wrong- you two are perfect for each other. After all, who could ever love an angry, hyprocritical, naïve, oblivious, whiny, overdramatic, midget besides a pasty skinned, self-righteous, selfish, whiny, dramatic, controlling, scrawny, pathetic loser like you?"
Kurt was finding it very difficult to keep from beating Sebastian to a pulp. He was shaking and his chest was heaving. He swallowed hard. Sebastian continued. "Can you even take care of yourself? I mean, I thought that after throwing a rock salt slushy in Blaine's face when I tried to slushy you, and Blaine got eye surgery you'd beat me up like a normal boyfriend would. Instead, you gave me the only evidence you had against me in order to beat me at Regionals."
"I wanted the satisfaction of beating you at Regionals." Kurt said through gritted teeth. "I was trying to teach you a lesson."
"Instead, it taught me that I can get away with anything I do to you and Blaine." Sebastian shook his head slowly. "Even blackmailing your best friend with a nude photo of your brother didn't make you pissed enough to hit me. What if I raped and killed Blaine slowly and painfully in front of you? Would you hit me then?"
Kurt continued glaring at Sebastian. "You better not touch him."
"Oh, don't worry- I won't." Sebastian said seriously. "Since he told me you were his first, I immediately lost interest."
Before Kurt could respond, Sebastian lunged for Kurt and pinned him against a wall. "What are you doing?" Kurt pressed his hands against Sebastian's chest holding him back.
"If you tell anyone of this conversation, not only will your father's career be over, his life will be over!" Sebastian threatened. "And then I will kill Finn, then Rachel, then Blaine, then your stepmother...each and every one of your friends and family. But I won't kill you. You will live with the guilt and pain of knowing you could've kept your family and friends alive by keeping quiet."
Kurt's breath caught in his throat. His heart hammered in his chest, chills ran up his spine, and his stomach dropped. Sebastian looked serious. Kurt swallowed and nodded quickly to show he understood.
"Good." Sebastian let Kurt go, and left the bathroom.
Kurt exhaled sharply and sank to the floor breathing heavily. Tears sprang to his eyes, and he wiped them away angrily.
'What have I done?' Kurt thought ruefully. 'I should've given that recording to the police in the first place...'
The door opened, and Kurt jumped up and composed himself quickly. He relaxed a little when he saw Cooper. "Hey, are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine." Kurt nodded and smiled. Without another word, Kurt cleared his throat and walked out of the bathroom.
Cooper stared after him strangely. He saw Sebastian leave the bathroom a few seconds before he himself walked in...did they have an argument? 'Well, only one way to find out.' Cooper glanced at the door, then walked over to the plant by the window. Inside was a tape recorder. He took it out hit rewind, headed to the lounge, sat on the couch, and pressed play.

Blaine sighed and played with his dessert fork. He was starting to get worried about Kurt, when he pulled out the chair next to Blaine and sat down. "Hey! I was starting to get worried. Where were you?"
"In the bathroom." Kurt said stiffly.
Blaine studied his boyfriend's expression. He looked pissed, upset, and a little worried. "Kurt, what happened?"
"Nothing, Blaine. Everything's fine." Kurt said firmly.
"No it's not. I can read your expression pretty well by now." Blaine turned to Kurt.
"Nothing is wrong, all right? End of discussion!" Kurt snapped. He sighed and stared straight ahead.
Blaine stared at his boyfriend in shock. What is with him? Blaine was about to say something when his phone buzzed. It was a text message from Cooper telling him to meet him in the lounge. "Excuse me." He said as he stood.
In the lounge, Cooper and Scott sat on the couch waiting for Blaine. Blaine walked through the doorframe and closed the door. "Hey...what's going on?"
"Why don't you have a seat." Cooper said seriously. Blaine stared at his brother in confusion and sat on a chair. Cooper sighed heavily before speaking. "So...I had a plan to bring down Sebastian for what he did to you. I was going to record a conversation between me and Sebastian and then play the tape during my speech."
Blaine was surprised, yet happy his brother was doing something about Sebastian. "Great. So, did you record him?"
"Yes and no." Cooper replied. "I planted the recording device in the bathroom. I was going to confront Sebastian, but Kurt beat me to it."
'So that's why he's upset.' Blaine thought. "Does Kurt know about the plan?"
"No." Cooper replied. He held up the tape and hit play. As Blaine listened, he became shocked, then angry, then hurt, then furious. He wasn't sure who to be more angry at: Sebastian for saying all those things and threatening Kurt's friends and family and Blaine himself, or Kurt for not turning Sebastian in. Cooper cleared his throat. "I'm guessing you didn't know about the first recording."
Blaine shook his head. "You said you planned on exposing Sebastian after your speech, right?"
"Yeah."
"Do it." Blaine said simply. He stood up.
"The whole thing?" Cooper asked for clarification. "Even the parts about Kurt basically covering it up and Sebastian's genocide threat?"
"I think everyone would be more concerned with the genocide threat than Kurt covering it up." Blaine raised an eyebrow. "Anyway, Kurt should've turned that son of a bitch in. Screw Regionals!"
Cooper nodded slowly. "Okay. I'll play the whole thing."
"Thank you." Blaine sighed and left the room.
"So, you're really going to play the whole thing?" Scott asked.
Cooper sighed. "I did promise to never screw him over again."
Scott nodded. "I just hope we don't end up making things worse."
"Me, too."
