A/N: Okay, so people have been asking me Why? Why Nick and Sebastian's storeroom encounter and all I can say about that is trust me. It will start making more sense in the final chapters of the story. There is going to be a lot more confusing things going on and honestly it will eventually make sense. You could say that I need a lot of motives, and that is all I am saying. Also sorry this is so late, I have had tonsillitis for the past couple of weeks and job interviews and honestly I have just not had the time. I realise that this chapter sort of jumps around a bit and there is bits of it that don't make much sense, but I just couldn't be bothered actually sorting it out. I'd delayed so long already! Hope this chapter is worth the wait.
Sebastian really didn't feel like being at the Reunion. He just wanted to head back home, turn on the sad music and lose himself in a combination of vodka and his own tears. He didn't have the energy to fight for Blaine at the moment. What was the point. No doubt Kurt would already have poisoned him against him and convinced him to stay away. He wouldn't be surprised if Kurt had charmed his way into Blaine's heart again.
What would he do if he had? Sebastian realised that he had no idea. What if Blaine and Kurt were back to being that lovedovey couple, that that had been when he first met the pair of them. He couldn't forget, no matter how hard he tried, just how much it had hurt him to see the pair of them together like that. He swallowed as he pulled on the Dalton Blazer and looked at him in the mirror for a moment. It was strange to be back in the uniform, if anything it just made him feel more vulnerable. He felt as though his age had decreased a few years. If only time would do the same and he could go back to a point where he didn't feel like this and he could flirt his way into Blaine's life again. Charm him and simply just sweep him off his feet. Yet things were never that easy.
Despite trying he couldn't get out of this, Nick and Jeff wouldn't let him, he had tried sneaking out the house and heading off back to New York, but they had been one step ahead of him and locked the front door, the only windows that opened downstairs were the ones in the Living Room and kitchen which had also been locked. He had tried faking being ill, but they had both seen straight through and made him go upstairs and get dressed.
His heart was pounding and he could feel the vomit in his throat, jumping up from the bed he bolted to the bathroom and threw up in the toilet. Now that was new, he'd never been this scared and nervous before, at least not to the point where it made him sick. Now he was just left with a horrible feeling in his stomach and a burning sensation in his throat from where the vomit had scratched against his throat. Another sigh escaped his lips. Hopefully if he just got all this over and done with things could go back to how they were, even if that meant without Blaine. He could easily ask for more hours at work, or get a second job if it came to it, just to avoid spending hours alone in the house without Blaine. It was something that he couldn't imagine doing. He didn't need much sleep anyway, so the sleep that he did need could be replaced with a few cans of Red Bull or another energy drink, right?
Thankfully all that remained right now was to actually get through tonight. His only comfort was that there was bound to be alcohol and he could sit in the corner with a a bottle of his own vodka to add to double vodka of coke after a double vodka of coke. What did he care if he drank himself under the table. It wasn't like there was anything left in his life that mattered anymore.
Blaine, despite feeling horrible for what he had done to Sebastian, couldn't help feeing both proud of Kurt and excited to meet up once again with all his old friends and find out what they had been up to. What had happened to them all and how they were getting on with their lives. He got dressed into Kurt's old Warbler Uniform, having realised that he had only gone and left his at home, well back in New York at Sebastian's anyway. Of course the headmaster of Dalton had given Mr Schue a dozen Blazers and ties, on the note that he would return them after the night was over. Yet Kurt had insisted that he could wear his, it would save time and they had spent way to long talking as it was. Chatting away over a cup of coffee about Kurt's love life and how he hadn't ever thought he could be as happy as he was now. Blaine should have seen it coming. He should have guessed that it would be Karofsky that Kurt was dating. Those two just seemed to be made for one another.
Blaine walked into the Living Room of his ex-boyfriends house, straightening up his tie and his jaw dropped at the sight of Kurt wearing the Cheerio uniform.
"Wow that sort of looks amazing! When the hell did you get that?"
"I was on the Cheerios for a couple of weeks or so in my Sophmore year, don't ask. Long story! Besides what did you think I was going to be wearing? You are wearing my Dalton blazer and tie, Blaine."
Blaine simply shrugged. He hadn't really thought about it.
"Come on, my dad is waiting in the car. He insisted that he dropped us off"
Sebastian sat in the corner, he couldn't be bothered with any of this. Sure he'd caught up with the Warblers and taken their numbers, with promises to call them once he felt a little better and managed to stop himself from thinking so much about Blaine. There had to be a time when that would come, right? As for how much alcohol he had drank he had know idea. His eyes were not really paying much attention to the amounts that he poured into his glasses of coke, instead he found that, no matter how hard he tried, they just followed Blaine around the place. He heard the odd bits of the conversations that he was having with people, while just trying to listen to his voice. Trying memorise how each word he spoke sounded. He never ever wanted to forget the sound of Blaine's voice, sometimes it was the only thing that kept him going, the long hard days of work and coming home to a cheerful hello from Blaine had just made him feel so much better. Then there was the leaping into his arms the moment Blaine had noticed that he wasn't in the best of moods.
He'd learnt a few things from the conversations he had half tuned into. Some of the things he could have predicted, like Quinn and Artie hooking up and getting married the bump in Quinn's stomach underneath her Cheerio outfit told him that she was once again expecting and the grin up on Blaine and Artie's face whilst talking to her had told him that the child was indeed Artie's. Then there was Sugar and Rory, they'd been getting closer and closer over the past few years and he'd heard Rory mentioning that he was thinking of proposing to her next week as a surprise for her birthday. Puck had finally gotten together with Shelby. Rachel had turned up with a guy that Sebastian didn't recognise, yet the chemistry between them suggested to him that they were an item. He wasn't all together sure what the deal with the rest of them were, Blaine had been to far away from him to hear at the time. Not that he really cared.
The whole place seemed to be filled with laughter and dancing, any other time and Sebastian would have felt left out only not tonight. Tonight he wanted Blaine in his arms and nothing else.
The alcohol seemed to be slowly giving him back his confidence. He finally rose to his feet and headed over to Blaine. He wasn't about to let things go. How could he? He might not have the strength to be rejected again, but the alcohol could at least relive the pain slightly and with even more it would be over entirely. At least that was what he told himself.
"Blaine, can we talk?" he said to him.
Sebastian was drunk. Really drunk. Blaine could tell that by the slurring of his words. He turned around to look at him. God! Why did he have to look so hot in that Warbler uniform? It wasn't fair. Blaine just wanted to pounce on him and kiss him. Yet that wasn't an option. He couldn't be dragged down by Sebastian again. As much as he wanted to and as much as he loved him it had hurt so much to hear that he had cheated on him and Blaine didn't want to have to go through that again. It had hurt enough the first time.
"There is nothing to talk about Sebastian. We are finished. Stop making things harder than they already are for the both of us. Please!" Blaine replied to him after a few moments.
Sebastian couldn't stand this. He needed to kiss Blaine now, he just had to. He looked flawless dressed in that uniform and Sebastian realised in that moment that he would do anything to get Blaine back. He might have had a fear of commitment before, yet now that had all changed. He realised something, that in a sense scared him still, he just wanted to marry this man. He wanted to be with him every hour of the day. He wanted to marry him and show him off to the world and he didn't care who knew how he felt anymore.
"Don't say that. I can't be without you Blaine. Please, you have to forgive me. I promise you I won't do anything to hurt you ever again. I love you. I need you and I want to marry you. I just don't work without you. Nothing in my life matters if I can't share it with you. Marry me."
Blaine swallowed. Part of him wanted to agree to marry Sebastian, yet another part of him had a horrible feeling that this was just the alcohol talking and that if he was to agree then there would be that awkward conversation tomorrow morning, once Sebastian had sobered up, about how he had been drunk last night and things had been said and that he didn't want to get married. Blaine feared it would hurt to much Yet all the same he smiled slightly and stepped forwards. It was getting onto the early hours of the morning and so maybe it was time to call it a day and get Sebastian away from all the alcohol. Blaine wrapped his arms around Sebastian and simply held him in his arms. He was past caring if this was the sensible thing to do or not. He just missed him so much and wanted nothing more than to just be in his arms again and smell that scent of his aftershave. After a few moments he pulled away and looked at him, moving backwards slightly as Sebastian moved in to kiss him. He looked down for a moment before looking back up at him again.
Nick watched the Seblaine scene that unfolded just a few yards away. It wasn't fair! How did Sebastian manage that? Why couldn't he just forget about Blaine? Hat was what tonight was supposed to be about. Realising that there was other fish in the sea and that Blaine wasn't the only person in the world. "Fucking arsehole," he muttered under his breath. "If I can't have you Sebastian Smythe then nobody can"
"Look, lets not do this now. I don't want us to get intimate now. We have a lot of talking to do and I don't want a make out tonight only for things to not work out tomorrow morning when you have enough braincells working to have a normal conversation with me about our future, if we even have one still. I suggest you go home, or come back with me to Kurt's and you can sleep in the spare room, I'll shack up with Kurt or something and you can sober up, okay?" Blaine suggested to him.
Sebastian nodded slightly. "Okay,"he mumbled and allowed Blaine to lead him out the door. Maybe it was time to call it a night. He'd had way to much to drink and tomorrow would only be painful because of it all.
Yet what the pair of them didn't know was that they had a made a few enemies that night, well more like Sebastian had, if enemies was even the correct word.
Kurt wasn't in the best of moods with Sebastian. He didn't want Blaine to get hurt again and Sebastian seemed to be the expert at doing that. Sebastian hadn't been the one to hold him in his arms for hours as he simply just cried and cried into his shoulder, getting his favourite shirt soaked to the skin. Sebastian Smythe had to pay for that.
Then there was the revenge from Santana that was still on the cards, she wasn't about to let him forget that he had hurt her best friend. Plus on top of that she still hadn't gotten her revenge from a few years back. Revenge really was something that she did best, especially when it came to getting revenge for those that were close to her and for those that she cared about.
Finally there was Jeff. He'd overheard what nick had said, despite pretending that he hadn't. It had hurt. How long had Nick felt this way about Sebastian? What did that make him? Just the consolation prize? Someone that he had just settled for?
Sebastian stumbled through the door of Kurt's house, not really remembering how he got there in the first place. Yet he was aware of Blaine's arm around his shoulders as he helped him up the stairs. His head was spinning. As Blaine helped him into the spare room he managed to get his blazer off, yet he knew that getting his tie of wasn't going to be something that he could do on his own. He couldn't sleep in his clothes, even now. It had always been strip down to at least his boxers, if not everything before he could sleep, otherwise he woke up sweating.
Thankfully Blaine knew that and helped him undress. Each second that passed, as Blaine pulled off his clothes he wanted to kiss him. He wanted to touch him. He wanted to feel the heat of his body against his. Watch his face as he shagged him. It was unreal how much he just wanted him right now. Just knowing that Blaine, even if they were together, wouldn't let him shag him when he was drunk. That had never been the way.
Sebastian climbed into bed and watched Blaine heading for the door., yet before he could leave Sebastian spoke.
"Blaine,"
Blaine turned to look at him for a moment, fearing what he was about to say. He had feeling that he already knew and he wasn't sure he could say no to it. His suspicions were soon proved to be correct when Sebastian spoke again.
"Stay with me tonight." he continued, swallowing. He'd have sat up if his head wasn't pounding. "I won't try anything. I promise. I don't want to be on my own. Please."
For a while Blaine didn't move. Until finally he pushed the door shut, peeled off his clothes and climbed into bed with Sebastian. Almost immediately Sebastian shuffled towards him , and wrapped an arm around him before falling asleep.
Tomorrow was bound to prove to be a surprise. Blaine hadn't a clue what was going through Sebastian's head. Plus there was the fact that if Sebastian touched him or kissed him he'd instantly give in. Could they really get back together again? Maybe this was what they had needed a break up to make Sebastian realise that he was the one for him. Blaine just didn't know anymore. He soon fell asleep himself, hopefully things would be sorted out once and for all.
A/N: Sorry that this chapter is the worst thing ever. I really hate it myself. I apologise. Yet the Seblaine interaction in the next chapter should prove interesting. Review and let me know what you think? If you think it's bad, then be honest. I wouldn't blame you. I wroteit really quickly, since I have delayed for so long already. I just wanted to get a chapter uploaded before I lost my faith in this story, altogether. I can promise that the next chapter will be so much better. I didn't really see the point in going into so much detail about the Reunion, it just didn't actually seem all that necessary to the story anymore, although if you guys want a more in depth Reunion, let me know and I will write a sub story to this one of just that.:P
