Two Steps Beyond

Part 76

By the time they were preparing to go home that evening they were all exhausted. At one point Nick got the shock of his life when his Aunt and Uncle approached them. After making all the introductions Nick and Santana walked away from the group so his Aunt and Uncle could get to know Santana. And while that was going on another gentleman who'd had a little too much to drink didn't seem to understand that Brittany had no clue who he was. Considering the situation, Jeff handled matters as well as could be expected.

While they waited for their cars they all looked over at Hunter who seemed more exhausted than the rest of them. His dates, considering their upbringing didn't behave accordingly so he had his hands full the entire evening. To say they had a few too many glasses of champagne would be an understatement. "Where are they?" Jeff asked.

"I sent them home already. I can't believe they behaved that way, it was embarrassing. And guys don't take this the wrong way, but you guys all handled yourselves well."

"No offense taken." Nick replied. "I'm pretty sure we all know what you mean."

"Do you think Cassie's going to wait till morning to talk to you?" Blaine asked.

"Nope. She might've been upset with me for bringing two dates, but their behavior took things to a whole other level."

"Well, you didn't help matters when you danced with Brittany or Santana." Sebastian told him.

"Would you have danced with either of my dates, they were both drunk? By that point I didn't care if I upset them. I would've been better off coming alone."

"I think Cassie would agree." Santana said as she leaned back against Nick. "And Seb, I have no clue how you're going to get through practice."

"Auto pilot. Did you guys have fun?"

"We did." Nick replied. "It wasn't that bad, though you could tell some of the older guests didn't like the fact that there were so many younger guests there."

"Get used to it because it's never going to change." Hunter replied. "Seriously, you guys played the games well today. No one would ever guess it was your first time at one of these things. We'll I need to go but I'll see you guys on Friday." Hunter then gave each of the girls a kiss goodbye before heading for his car.

It wasn't long after Hunter car arrived did everyone else's rides arrive. "We'll see you guys tomorrow." Nick said after he and Jeff helped the girls into the car.

"We'll see you then." Sebastian replied before he and Blaine got into their car. When Sebastian rested his head against Blaine's he felt Blaine take his hand in his. "That was a long night B."

"It was, but we survived. What did you think of that interview Cooper had to do?"

"Like we noticed earlier, he seems to get more comfortable with each one. And even though he wasn't thrilled with getting put in this situation, he's taking control of it."

"I noticed that too, and I have a feeling Cassie has a lot to do with it. I never imagined he'd be in a situation where he could stand up for me, well us in this way."

"I knew what you meant; you didn't need to clarify yourself, but thank you. The girls looked beautiful tonight, didn't they?"

"They did. Each dressed fit them perfectly and complimented their personalities. That bright pink Britt wore, was gorgeous. Who knew that color could look sophisticated?"

"My sister." Sebastian said with a laugh. "I noticed Jeff succeeded in tying his tie."

"He did. When you guys were off talking, he double checked with me that it was right. Did you see the girls faces when they saw Lexi?"

"Before or after they picked their jaws up off the ground."

"I saw that too. I don't blame them. She not only looked stunning but that necklace she wore meant business. I don't even want to think about what it was worth."

"She tries not to when she wears it otherwise she'd be paranoid the entire time."

They were so into their conversation that they didn't even know they were home till the door was opened. Walking through the lobby at that time of the morning was interesting as ever step they took seemed to echo. Once they were in the elevator Sebastian loosened his tie. "You look like you're going to crash Bas."

"That's what I plan on doing; my alarm is going to come way too early."

"You should've told Nick to wait to come over so you could take a nap."

"Don't have time, my Dad arrives today."

"Shit, that's right. Since he's in town are we changing our plans for the weekend?"

"Hell no. That's the last thing he'd want us to do. Speaking of, can you do me a favor?" As Sebastian spoke, he opened the door to their apartment.

"Of course you can."

"Would you be willing to pack my bag for the weekend if I take everything out?"

"You're kidding, right?"

"Sorry, I never…" Sebastian didn't finish as Blaine gave his hand a squeeze. "What?"

"Bas, of course I will. I thought it was something major. Packing is no biggie."

"Thank you. I had no idea when I'd have time to do it tomorrow and I know we're leaving right after practice Friday."

"Relax; I'll take care of everything. Though, you might need to make it up to me later."

"That I can do."

Blaine was just finishing up packing their bags for the weekend when the doorbell rang. He glanced over at the clock, thinking maybe it was Nick and Jeff but it was only ten. So he set down what he was holding and went to get the door. After looking out he opened the door. "Morning Mr. Smythe."

"Morning Blaine, may I come in?"

"Of course." Blaine replied while stepping aside. "Since I see you don't have a bag with you I can only assume you've already been to Cooper and Lexi's.

"I have. Their home was full of activity this morning. Is Seb here?"

"He's still at practice, please have a seat. Could I get you anything?"

"A cup of coffee would be great if that wouldn't be a hassle."

"Not at all, I'll be right back." Blaine was about to walk away when he stopped. "How do you take it?"

"The same as Seb." Blaine smiled back at Mr. Smythe before heading for the kitchen. As he told him it wasn't long and Blaine soon returned with coffee in hand. "Thank you Blaine."

"You're welcome." He replied while taking a seat. "I thought Bas said you weren't coming in till this afternoon."

"I wasn't supposed to but I couldn't wait. His Mother and I are worried as I'm sure you can understand." Blaine nodded. "When will Seb be home?"

"Shortly after noon."

"Do you boys have plans this afternoon?"

"Nick and Jeff are actually coming over, why?"

"Do you think it would be possible to call them and reschedule for later?"

"Of course. I should probably tell you, Bas and I are going away this weekend."

"I know, Lexi mentioned it. Said you guys were going out to Southampton. One last getaway before school starts."

"Basically and with everything that's happened it'll be nice to just relax."

"How are you guys handling everything?" Mr. Smythe said as he set his cup down.

"It's fine. Things have calmed down and are pretty much back to normal for us, though Cooper's still pretty busy. And he still has to talk about it."

"I heard you two have quite a week ahead of you. Not only do classes start but you've got Fashion Week which you're attending."

"Next week will be interesting. Since you're here, you'll get to see Bas play. He has a game next week."

"That'll be nice; it's been a while since I've gotten to watch him. I won't be intruding, will I?"

"Not at all." The two of them talked a bit more till Blaine excused himself so that he could call Nick and Jeff and inform them of the change of plans.

By the time Sebastian came home he was all set to collapse on the couch, but that idea changed the instant he saw his Dad and Blaine talking. "Hey killer." Sebastian said before leaning over the couch to kiss Blaine who leaned back to look up at him. "Hey Dad." He said as he walked around to give him a hug. "I wasn't expecting to see you so soon. "When did you get in?" As he asked he sat down on the couch next to Blaine.

"A few hours ago. I dropped my stuff off at Lexi's then came over here. I hadn't realized you had practice, but Blaine has more than graciously kept me company."

"That's my B." Sebastian said while wrapping an arm around him. "Care to explain why you're here already?" He asked as he and Blaine leaned back against the couch.

"I wanted you to fill me in before I head over to Columbia to meet with the Dean. I'd like to know everything that you do so I don't go into my meeting uninformed."

"I can do that."

After grabbing something to eat Sebastian began to fill his Dad in on everything that he knew and had happened. By the time he was finished he saw an all too familiar look on his Dad's face, it was almost exactly how Lexi looked when he told her. "Are you sure you're alright Seb?"

"I am. I didn't even suffer a scratch when I fell."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about. Emotionally, how are you feeling?"

"I'm more anxious than usual and I'm probably a bit more cautious than normal but besides that I'm fine. And part of the caution comes from Cassie telling Blaine and I to be more aware of our surroundings after what happened." Mr. Smythe leaned his head back before laughing slightly. "What is it?"

"The past week has been far from boring for you two."

"We'd gladly take boring back." Blaine said and Sebastian agreed with him. "Does Bas need to go with you to the meeting?"

"No, he doesn't. Speaking of, I should probably head on over. Last thing I'd want to be is late." Once Mr. Smythe stood so did Blaine and Sebastian. "If you boys are interested, Lexi invited you to dinner tonight. Just give her a call to let her know if you'll be coming."

"We can do that Dad." Sebastian then stepped closer to him and gave him a hug. "Thank you for coming. It means a lot to me."

"It would've taken an act of God to stop me from coming Seb. Hopefully, I'll see you boys tonight and I'll have good news to share." Even though Mr. Smythe told them it was unnecessary Blaine and Sebastian walked him to the door. After they closed the door behind him, Blaine wrapped his arms around Sebastian's waist.

"He loves you a lot Bas." After he spoke, Blaine leaned up and kissed Sebastian.

"I know. When did he get here?" As Sebastian spoke they headed back to the living room.

"A little after ten. I was…shit, I never finished." Blaine then took ahold of Sebastian's hand and pulled him behind him towards the bedroom.

"You know you just had to ask." Sebastian said once they walked through the door.

"Funny." Blaine then pushed him back onto the bed, just missing the clothes that still needed to be packed. "But I know it's true." He said with a wink before getting back to packing.

"Now that I'm home I can help."

"You can help; throw in a load of laundry. You're lacrosse clothes stink."

"I really should leave those in the laundry room."

"That's an excellent idea." Blaine then watched as Sebastian got up off the bed and grabbed a basket out of their closet before going to empty the hamper. "Who would've guessed you were so domestic?" Sebastian turned and gave Blaine's ass a playful smack. "It's true."

"I know, but no one else needs to know that."

When Sebastian returned to their room he spotted their bags over in the corner and Blaine was lying across their bed on his stomach while talking on the phone. Knowing Blaine couldn't see him; Sebastian carefully made his way onto the bed. Blaine glanced back at him and smiled once he felt the mattress shift beneath him. Always one to see what he can get away with Sebastian lowered himself onto Blaine's back and began to nuzzle his neck. Realizing what Sebastian was up to, Blaine wasn't going to get off the phone till absolutely necessary.

"I understand that Hunter. Of course she's furious." No sooner did Hunter's name fall from Blaine's lips did Sebastian intensify what he was doing. "One of them tried to undress you on the dance floor." Soon a soft sigh escaped Blaine's lips. "No, I'm okay Hunter."

"You're such a naughty boy, talking to Hunter while I try to seduce you." Sebastian whispered in his ear. Blaine then covered his phone slightly.

"Try harder." Never one to back down from a challenge, Blaine could feel Sebastian smirk against his skin. That simple action caused a chill to shoot through his body in anticipation of what Sebastian might do next. The next thing Blaine felt were Sebastian's hands making their way beneath him. It wasn't till his hands moved lower and one cupped him through his jeans did Blaine gasp. His attempt to cover why he'd done so caused Sebastian to chuckle for if Blaine honestly thought Hunter would buy the reason he gave he clearly underestimated him.

It took every bit of control Blaine had not to moan into the phone when Sebastian's grip got tighter. And once Blaine pressed against Sebastian's hand, he moved his lips back to Blaine's ear. "How fair do you want to take this?" Sebastian whispered before releasing his grip and undoing the button before lowered the zipper. "I'll take this as far as you'll let me."

When Blaine didn't answer Sebastian moved off to the side and rolled Blaine onto his back. Once their eyes met Sebastian slid his hands beneath Blaine's shirt while he continued to talk to Hunter. The feeling of Sebastian's hands caressing his skin had Blaine completely relaxed. So much so that he'd almost forgotten his pants were undone. "I wish I had a better idea of how to fix this. You might be better…oo…off, talking to Bas about this." Blaine lifted his head and glared at Sebastian who looked at him innocently before swirling his tongue around the tip of Blaine's exposed cock once again. "Sorry, about that, it was just a muscle spasm. I must've slept funny last night."

It took quite the bit of control for Sebastian not to laugh out loud. He honestly believed Blaine would be getting off the phone, but it didn't seem like he was going to. Blaine was being stubborn. "Are you sure you want to keep talking?" Sebastian asked softly as he sat back on his heels. Blaine just smiled up at him. "Fine, let the games begin." As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, he got up off the bed and began to undress. The entire time Blaine kept his eyes on him as he continued his conversation with Hunter. Even though he wanted to give in, he couldn't help but wonder how far Sebastian was willing to go.

Once Sebastian was standing nude before him Blaine watched as Sebastian leaned forward and tugged at Blaine's jeans. Willingly Blaine raised his hips up off the bed so Sebastian could remove his jeans. What he didn't expect was for Sebastian to take his boxers along with them. Blaine cocked his eyebrow at Sebastian as he watched his jeans get tossed onto a pile of clothes. The next thing Blaine saw was Sebastian climb onto the bed and straddle his lap. "You wouldn't." Blaine said as he muted the phone. Sebastian just looked at Blaine and smiled. "Hunter I need to go, something's come up that I need to take care of. Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." Blaine quickly ended the call and tossed his phone onto the pile of clothes.

"And here I was beginning to believe you wanted Hunter to hear us."

"I can't believe you went as far as you did."

"You didn't get off the phone. I think you were curious as to how far I'd go."

"Maybe, but now that you have me like this are you going to finish what you started?"

"Nope." Sebastian then hopped up off the bed.

"Bas!"

"If you want me, you're going to need to find me." And with that Sebastian left their bedroom. Blaine was dumbstruck but quickly got up off the bed. After tossing his shirt onto the pile of clothes he went to find Sebastian.

"Bas, where are you?" Blaine called out once he reached the living room and didn't see any signs of him. "Bas." He headed towards the kitchen but found it was empty, as was the dining room and the laundry room. After checking the guest room off the kitchen he swore he heard music coming from the other side of the apartment. Blaine couldn't help but shake his head as he made his way back from whence he came. He didn't know how Sebastian could be on that side of the apartment when he saw Sebastian take off in this direction. "Come on Bas."

"Blaine."

Sebastian's voice was faint but Blaine knew he had to be close since he was now standing in the hallway that led to the other bedrooms including theirs. "Sebastian." Hoping calling out to him once more Sebastian would answer Blaine slowly made his way down the hall. The next thing Blaine heard wasn't quite the answer he was expecting, but a soft moan. When he reached one of the guest rooms he leaned against the doorframe once he spotted Sebastian on the bed. "I don't get to see you like this often." He said as he watched Sebastian stretch himself. "I could get used to this."

"B…Blaine." Hearing Sebastian's voice getting a bit ragged Blaine moved from his spot against the door and walked closer till he was next to the bed. Once their eyes met Blaine moved onto the bed and slowly moved Sebastian's hand away. When Blaine got closer Sebastian slowly sat up. "Lay down."

"Are you sure?" Sebastian nodded, so Blaine did as he was asked.

"It wouldn't be fair to have teased you with it if I wasn't willing." Of all the things they do and try, this was something they didn't do often. Noticing Blaine looked confused; Sebastian leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Blaine's lips once he straddled his lap. "What is it B?" He asked as he cocked his head to the side.

"You just…this…"

"That's because I don't get the chance often. It's not because I don't want to or I don't enjoy it." And with that said, Sebastian didn't give Blaine a chance to respond before he slowly lowered himself onto Blaine. As their soft moans filled the room Sebastian felt Blaine's hands gripping his thighs. Once Sebastian started to move Blaine's eyes locked on Sebastian's. The two of them seemed to read each other so well that not much was said between them.

The one thing that was obvious to Sebastian was it had been way too long since they'd done it this way. As one of Blaine's hands moved off of Sebastian's thighs to his cock, there was no doubt Blaine was close to the edge as they'd both gotten louder. When he felt Blaine move beneath him more Sebastian wasn't sure how much longer he'd last. But that was all taken out of his control with one strategic flick of Blaine's wrist. No sooner did Sebastian's orgasm hit him, Blaine followed right behind him. "That…that was…"

"I…I know..." Sebastian stammered out as a smile crept to his face. He was about to move but felt Blaine grab a hold of him.

"Not yet." Sebastian just nodded and stayed where he was. And if he was being honest, he was more than happy not to move. While they collected themselves Blaine slowly pushed himself into a seated position and wrapped his arms around Sebastian. Once he did that Sebastian leaned forward just enough to rest his head against Blaine's. "Bas."

"Yea B."

"We need to do that more often."

"You liked that, did you?"

"I did. Why in here?"

"I couldn't remember if we'd christened this room or not, though I know Jeff has." Blaine laughed softly, knowing Sebastian was right. Sebastian then placed a kiss on Blaine's forehead before carefully moving off of Blaine. "We should get you cleaned up."

"Same with you. Do you want to go to dinner at Coop's tonight?"

"We probably should. Shower?"

I was hoping you'd say that."
