Two Steps Beyond

Part 68

While waiting for Blaine and Sebastian's car to come around Cassie turned to them both. "Now, if either of you need anything do not hesitate to call me okay. I don't care what time it is."

"Cassie, we're okay. Sadly we've both heard worse." Blaine replied.

"B's right, what she said was pretty tame. I can't believe Cooper snapped the way he did."

"I can. He loves you guys. I'm going to do my best to keep things under control but don't be surprised if the shit hits the fan. She's a bitch. But I'll keep you two in the know." Just then their car pulled up, so she gave them each a kiss on the cheek before getting them settled. "Now, go home and enjoy the rest of your night."

After she closed the door Blaine curled up next to Sebastian. "Are you okay B?"

"I am. You?"

"Yea. I wonder if Coop's calmed down yet."

"Probably not considering how riled up he was. I can't remember the last time I ever saw him like that or if I've ever seen him like that. It wasn't the best place to have that sort of outburst."

"You're right, it probably wasn't but I bet he doesn't regret it. It was nice seeing everyone else go after her though."

When Cassie came walking back into the theater Lexi was still attempting to calm Cooper down. "Are they on their way home Cassie?" Lexi asked as Cooper just held her close as she was sitting on his lap.

"They are in a car on their way home. I'm pretty sure they're okay Coop and I told them to call me if they need anything."

"Is the bitch gone?" Cooper asked.

"She is. Last I saw her she was giving a sob story to her agent about how cruel you all were. She left out what started everything though which is rich. I'm pretty sure her agent would drop her like a hot potato."

"Why is that?" Lexi asked.

"It's because her agent is a lesbian. She's been with her partner for about ten years now and has two kids. I doubt she'd be pleased to hear the loathsome words that spewed from her mouth."

"Lexi, you're not mad that I introduced Bas as Blaine's boyfriend and not your brother, are you?"

"Not at all and I'm pretty sure Bas didn't mind it either. Heck, I'm sure it's what he preferred. So, why don't we head to the party and celebrate this moment."

"I really don't feel much like celebrating."

"Coop, Blaine and Seb would want you too." Cassie told him. "When I sent them off I told them to go home and enjoy the rest of their night. And judging from the way they were looking at each other, that's what they're going to do. They're not going to let her outburst put a damper on their night and I doubt they'd be happy if she did that to yours."

"Thanks so much for putting the image in my head of my brother going home to have sex." Lexi just looked at Cooper and smiled. "Come now, you really don't mind knowing their going to go home and have sex?"

"Not really. And if Blaine's sex drive is anything like yours my brother is lucky."

"The same could be said for Blaine regarding Bas."

"Think of it this way Coop, I'm sure they feel the same way when it comes to us. They'd rather not know, but they know it's happening."

"You've got a point. Since they're enjoying themselves, I guess the least I can do is go and try to enjoy what today is really about in my case."

"That's more like it." Cassie said with a smile. "Now, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, your car awaits."

If it wasn't for the fact their car ride home wasn't that long Blaine and Sebastian easily could've gotten carried away. When the car came to a complete stop Sebastian had to tighten his hold around Blaine so he didn't go flying off his lap. They managed to smooth out their clothes just before the door opened. After thanking and tipping the driver they headed inside. Somehow even with what had happened they were blissfully happy. There was something gratifying about the way Cooper, Lexi, and everyone else stood up for them.

Once they were safely back in their apartment Sebastian took ahold of Blaine's hand and led him into the living room. This gesture wasn't what Blaine was expecting, but let Sebastian take him wherever he wanted. "Please sit." Sebastian said after giving Blaine a kiss. "I'll be right back." As Blaine sat on the couch he wondered what Sebastian could be up to, but knew it was pointless to try and guess. When Sebastian returned holding a gift bag Blaine looked up at him.

"You really shouldn't have Bas."

"So says he who has a gift bag in our bedroom as well." Blaine shrugged his shoulder knowing Sebastian was right before taking the bag from him. Once Sebastian was seated next him, Blaine looked at him and all Sebastian did was nod. Blaine tossed the tissue paper onto the coffee table and then looked inside the bag and saw two wrapped packages. "Open the smaller one first." Blaine nodded and did as Sebastian asked. As the wrapping paper was tossed aside Blaine looked up at Sebastian and smile.

"Thank you."

"It's not too sappy, is it?"

"No, not at all." Blaine replied before looking at the framed photo of the two of them. The picture was actually of the two of them sharing their first kiss. "Where'd you get the picture from?"

"Wes."

"I should've guessed." Blaine then leaned over and gave Sebastian a kiss. After setting the frame down on the coffee table he grabbed the other package out of the bag. When Sebastian took a deep breath while Blaine ripped the wrapping paper, Blaine reached over and gave his thigh a reassuring squeeze before tossing the paper aside. There in Blaine's hands was a beautifully crafted leather journal. "How did you know?"

"I saw you staring at it when we were out shopping in London and you mentioned it would be perfect for writing down thoughts and ideas. I've got to tell you I was pretty surprised when you didn't pick it up considering the way you looked at it. I also picked up extra inserts for it as well, but they would've weighted the bag down too much. I hope you like it."

"It's perfect Bas, thank you." Blaine then got up off the couch. "Time for you to sit while I go and get your other gift."

"Blaine."

"Bas." Sebastian smiled up at him, which caused Blaine to lean down and kiss him once more. "I'll be right back." When Blaine returned Sebastian was still sitting where he left him. "For you." Blaine said as he handed Sebastian the bag prior to sitting back down next to him. Just as Blaine had done, Sebastian set the tissue paper on the table before looking inside the bag. "Either." Blaine replied knowing what Sebastian was thinking. When he took the first package out a smile crept to Blaine's face.

"Guess we really do think alike, don't we B?" Blaine nodded as Sebastian looked at a framed photo of the two of them from Paris. It was a shot they'd taken their first day there with the tower in the background, both looking blissfully happy. "Thank you." Sebastian then leaned over and kissed Blaine before grabbing the other package. This second package was quite a bit heavier than the first. Sebastian looked at Blaine who was watching him. Once he tossed the paper aside, he smiled. "When?"

"The afternoon we went shopping. I picked it up while you got us gelato."

"Thank you, I'm almost out."

"I know. And like Lexi's, it's not available in the states. This might be selfish but I just had to buy it for you."

"Why is that?" Sebastian asked as he wrapped an arm around Blaine and pulled him close.

"I love the way you smell, it's distinctly you."

"Acceptable answer." As they sat their cuddled on the couch Blaine's phone started to go off. "You might want to check that B."

"Bas, what did you do?"

"Check your phone." Blaine reached over to the coffee table and picked up his phone. Once Blaine started to read Sebastian smiled at him. "Told you I was going to cause a fuss. I wanted all of our friends to know how amazing you are and how much I love you."

"I'm not going to respond to them all, at least right now."

"I know, as do they. Now, let's take this someplace a bit more comfortable so I can begin to thank you properly."

"Why don't you get our bedroom set while I do something as well?"

"B, you've done too much already."

"Please Bas, go. I promise it's nothing crazy."

Once Sebastian was inside their room he turned their bed down before lighting the candles Blaine had set around the room. As often as Blaine said he put them there for aesthetics or in case there was a power outage, Sebastian knew the reason they were there. And would take any opportunity to light them and bask the room in a soft glow. After they were lit, Sebastian changed into something a bit more comfortable and something that he knew would bring a smile to Blaine's face no matter how silly it might seem. As he stretched out on their bed, Sebastian grabbed the remote and turned on the docking station and found something to listen to while waiting for Blaine. He was beginning to wonder what was keeping Blaine when he appeared in the doorway.

"Bas."

"What?" He replied from his spot on the bed. "I didn't do anything."

"The room looks almost as amazing as you do."

"So you approve."

"Very much so." Blaine replied as he took in the green silk boxers Sebastian was wearing. Even though they were loose, there was no hiding Sebastian's arousal. "Care if I join you?"

"I'd like that. What do you have in the box?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

"B."

"Yes."

"Change before you join me."

"Anything particular you have in mind?"

"No, but the less clothing the better."

"I can do that, if you do something for me."

"Anything."

"Position yourself in the middle of the bed, prop yourself up on some pillows and close your eyes." Blaine stood still, watching the questioning look in Sebastian's eyes, but Sebastian soon began to move. It wasn't till he saw Sebastian's eyes were closed did Blaine begin to undress. Every so often he would do something that he was sure to garner Sebastian's attention to make sure he had his eyes closed. After stripping down to his boxers, Blaine grabbed the box off the dresser and made his way onto the bed.

Once he straddled Sebastian's lap a smirk came to Sebastian's face. "May I open my eyes now?"

"Nope, but you can open your mouth." Blaine replied while opening the box.

"Kinky."

"If that's what you're thinking, you might be disappointed Bas." He told him while taking an item out of the box. "Now open." Sebastian did as he was told that time, so Blaine placed the treat in his mouth. "Now bite." Once Sebastian did, the softest of moans escaped his lips.

"Oh my god, where did you get those?" Sebastian asked as his eyes flew open and he spotted the box next to Blaine.

"Seems, Lexi knows of a fabulous French bakery here in the city."

"Those are fresh, how did you get them here? We've been together all day." He asked before Blaine fed him the rest of the macaron.

"Jeff picked them up for me and dropped them off while we were at the premiere. I'm happy they meet your standards. I thought they were excellent, but my tastes aren't as refined as yours when it comes to these."

"They definitely meet my standards." Sebastian replied before opening his mouth again to which Blaine happily fed him. After finishing his second one, Sebastian reached for the box since his second one was different than the first.

"I had them put all our favorites in there. Though they have some that I think you need to try at the bakery."

"When can we go?"

"If anyone ever looked at you they'd never realize your sweet tooth was as bad as mine."

"That's because we take part in vigorous amounts of cardio." Sebastian replied before taking a macaron out of the box and feeding Blaine. They'd each had a few more before Blaine closed the box and got up off of Sebastian's lap so he could set the box on the dresser. "Those were amazing."

"I thought so too." Blaine replied while standing at the bottom of the bed. "You didn't eat too many, did you?"

"I don't think so, why?" The smirk that was on Sebastian's face as he answered, Blaine knew he was on the same wavelength that he was. So he made his way on to the bed and knelt between Sebastian's legs.

"You look beautiful like this Bas." He told him while gently caressing his legs. "Makes it hard for me to control myself."

"Then don't."

"So you'd have no problem with me ravishing you here and now?"

"Absolutely not, I'm all yours to do with as you like." Blaine's own body betrayed him as he felt his cock twitch. Not wanting to feel anymore restraint he moved off of the bed and removed his boxers. In the short amount of time it took him to remove them, Sebastian's eyes never left him. Once he was back on the bed, Blaine could've sworn Sebastian's legs were slightly further apart. Knowing Sebastian wanted him as badly as he did, Blaine began taking in each and every inch of Sebastian's body. By the time he'd reached Sebastian's boxers, Blaine saw Sebastian's body twitch.

Wanting this to last, he moved his mouth over the boxers and blew gently which cause Sebastian's entire body to flinch. It was tempting to continue his way up Sebastian's chest, but judging from the wet spot on the boxers Blaine moved from the spot between Sebastian's legs so he could remove them. See Sebastian this way always had such an effect on Blaine. Knowing he was the only person Sebastian would be so willing to give himself up to in this way.

The next morning when Sebastian got up for practice Blaine rolled over in bed. "Hey." He said softly as he watched Sebastian get dressed.

"Hey, what are you doing up? Go back to sleep."

"Don't want to. I can sleep after you leave. How are you feeling?"

"Emotionally or physically?"

"Either."

"Emotionally, fulfilled. Physically, sore as hell. But it's well worth it."

"I hope so considering you asked for it." Blaine said with a slight laugh that Sebastian echoed.

"I know I did. How about you?"

"The same, but thankfully I don't have to go anywhere. I get to keep my ass in bed as long as I like."

"Beware; if it's still there when I get home I'm not responsible for what I might do." He said with a wiggle of his eyebrows. "Remember, I'm making us dinner tonight so if anyone calls we've got plans tonight."

"I remember. And Bas, don't make promises you don't plan to keep." That was all it took for Sebastian to leap onto their bed and pin Blaine beneath him.

"Oh, I plan on keeping it. So make sure you're good and ready for me killer. We can pick up where we left off early this morning." Sebastian then leaned down and nipped Blaine's neck. "As much as I'd like to do that now, I need to get going. I promised Nate and John I'd be early today so they could go over anything I missed yesterday."

"Thank them, yesterday was amazing Bas."

"I will. Now go back to sleep B. I love you!"

"I love you too!"

By the time Blaine woke back up it was a couple of hours later, though it probably would've been even later if his phone didn't keep going off. Once his eyes focused Blaine rolled over and grabbed his phone off the nightstand. "What the hell?" He said aloud seeing he had four missed calls and fifteen text messages. Realizing it was still early; Blaine knew it must be important if so many people were trying to get ahold of him at that hour. So wanting to be more coherent before dealing with whatever might be going on Blaine pulled on a pair of sweats before going to make himself a cup of coffee.

He was almost to the living room when the doorbell rang. After glancing at the clock and seeing it was barely after eight he shook his head before going to get it. Upon opening it, there stood Nick and Jeff. "What in pray tell are you two doing here so freaking early?"

"Well, you weren't answering your phone so we got worried. May we come in?" Nick said and soon Blaine stepped aside to let his friends in.

"I didn't answer because I was sleeping. Bas and I had a late night."

"I told you." Jeff said while nudging Nick.

"Guys, what's going on?"

"Where's Seb?" Nick asked.

"Lacrosse practice as usual, why?"

"Do you have a computer handy Blaine?" Jeff asked.

"My laptop is in the office." He'd barely answered and Jeff headed that way. "Will someone please tell me what the fuck is going on?" Blaine exclaimed.

"Let's go sit down on the couch." Nick said.

"I don't want to fucking sit down. Nick what's going on?"

"It's better if we show you." Nick then took Blaine's hand and walked him over to the couch and basically forced him to sit down. Thankfully Jeff reappeared shortly afterwards. When Nick started to rub Blaine's back while Jeff started up the laptop Blaine started to look back and forth between his friends. The next thing Blaine felt was his laptop in his lap. "Read the headline Blaine."

Cooper Anderson goes on tirade after homophobic co-star's verbal assault against his brother.

Nick and Jeff knew Blaine had read it when he sunk back onto the couch. They sat and waited for some sort of reaction out of him. They watched as he scrolled through his phone and saw that the missed calls he had were from Cooper, Cassie, Lexi, and Nick. While the texts he'd missed were from them along with Jeff, Santana, Hunter, and basically the rest of their friends.

"Bas needs to know."

"Cassie called him as well and I know Santana sent him a text." Nick told him.

"And once you said he was at practice I sent a text to Hunter to see if he could wait for him afterwards." Jeff replied. "I don't think he's going to be in a good mindset once he finds out."

"How'd Santana find out?"

"Cassie called her into work at an ungodly hour." Nick replied. "Seems there was a reporter nearby that heard the entire exchange. Are you and Seb okay?"

"Yea, we've both heard worse. Right now I'm actually more concerned about Cooper. This moment could overshadow everything he's worked for."

"Why don't you let Lexi and Cassie worry about Cooper while we worry about you?" Jeff told him.

"He's my brother and he's in this situation because of me."

"Blaine he's in this situation because he loves you and because that woman is ignorant. You didn't do this."
