OK Guys, this is a longer chapter than usual but I just couldn't break it apart. It belongs together. Xx
Chapter 6 Shocks...
After Blaine and Sebastian had finished their activities and eaten, they got dressed and walked to the station. They boarded a train, smiling the entire time. Within the hour they had arrived in the most beautiful city in the world, New York. Both Blaine and Sebastian never got tired of visiting the city or looking round in wonder.
"So what do you want to see?" Blaine asked Sebastian's
"War horse?" Sebastian
"War horse? Really?" Blaine questioned
"What did you have in mind?" Sebastian countered
"I actually did some research while you were in the shower, and found they are performing Chicago. That could be good" Blaine said
"But its such a musical!" Sebastian said
Blaine laughed at this, completely used to Sebastian's winging about his taste in theatre
"OK How about Sweeney Todd?"
"Hmm..Blood, gore, murder..."
"Singing, romance, twisted love..."
"I thought we were meant to be trying to cheer me up?"
"Well you wanted to see War Horse. Personally I can't think of anything more depressing" Blaine countered
"Truce! How about Rent? I saw an advert for it?"
"Rent? Are you sure? I mean..."
"I know you saw it with Kurt, and that's OK" Sebastian said "I'd like to see it. See what all your raving was about and why I should watch the movie, that you keep trying to get me to watch"
"I'm just, I mean I love the story, but it's just, it might not" but one look from Sebastian stopped the rest of what Blaine was going to say "...you know what? Lets go for it. It would be a pleasure to share one of my favourite musicals with you, Though don't make fun of me if I have tears in my eyes through any of it! Deal?" Blaine said
"Deal. Well come on, its showing at the Caspian Theatre"
"I think it's this way" Sebastian always had a better head for directions than Blaine.
They found the theatre, it was tucked in a corner of the Broadway that was generally overlooked for it's bigger places. They brought tickets and sat down in the cosy seats. It was homely and it was being done by an Ariel Theatre Group. They picked up a programme and paged through it, something caught Blaine's eye after he had read through the programme. Costumes by Kurt Hummel. While Blaine was pleased Kurt had a job, this seemed like quite a small time gig at a local theatre. Why wasn't Kurt acting? He would make a perfect Angel or Mark even. Blaine had always seen himself as either Colin's or Rodger. If he was female though, he would have loved to be Joanna. He laughed a second thinking to himself. What if all the characters were gender swapped for a version of Rent. Sebastian would be Maureen. it was perfect. That could prove interesting and fun. He realised he was starring a bit, and Sebastian saw what page he had stopped on
"Wow! I didn't know he'd be here?" He referred to Kurt
"Me either. At least I expected him to be acting, I mean, yeah he is brilliant at fashion and making costumes but he comes alive on the stage"
"Maybe something happened that changed him." Sebastian said
"Could be."
"You want to chat to him don't you?" Sebatsian sighed
"Yeah but not tonight. Tonight is our night. You and Me. I promise" Blaine said gently holding Sebastian's hand. Sebastian squeezed back gently. The lights went down, and the show started.
Once it had finished and the lights went on, Blaine looked at Sebastian and saw he was tense, and teary. Not a great combination. Blaine knew he needed time, so they waited for everyone to leave the theatre, before Blaine gently took Sebastian's hand, bringing him back down to earth
"Angel died?" Sebastian said
"Yeah. I know. It's the part that makes me tear up"
"Angel is Kurt, isn't he? And you are Colin's? Thats why you relate to this so well?" Sebastain asked
"It was one of the things we bonded over yes, but I was thinking what if they reversed the gender roles? Which character would you be?"
"...Maureen I guess. It best describes me I guess, you?"
"I'd be Joanna. So you see while Kurt and I saw ourselves as Angel and Colins, who are together, You and I are Maureen and Joanna who despite everything realise how important they are to each other and refuse to let go of each other, even when things are going wrong." Blaine answered
"But that means you'd be happy with either Kurt or myself"
"Sebastian, please don't do this. I love you sweetheart. You are my universe. Why can't you accept that?"
"You cheated on the love of your life Blaine, what's to stop you cheating again" Sebastian said angrily "when you feel lonely"
Blaine looked at Sebastian, shocked and heart broken, all within the space of a minute. He still wasn't used to these sudden changes in character that happened with no warning. How had this night turned into such a disaster? Maybe it was wrong for Sebastian to be out at the moment, he'd let his heart be ruled by his head in agreeing to come out tonight when Blaine thought he should be better at home. It was just Sebastian's insecurities talking at the moment, Blaine knew. But it still broke his heart.
"Sebastian, I think we should skip the ride round Central Park and go home." Blaine tried to reason "and head home"
"Blaine stop bossing me around. Stop being my flipping mother. Be my fiance for a change"
Blaine was patiently listening to this, but he was slowly falling apart and he was scared. He knew he had to talk Sebastian down. Only one thing he knew could do it, as it had worked in the past but Blaine wasn't sure he'd be able to handle it again.
"Well I am not your mother. I want to make out with my fiance and kiss him all night, run my hands up and down..." Blaine tried distraction.
"All the while thinking about Kurt!" Sebastian accused
"Sebastian, we are going outside. We are going to get some fresh air." Blaine said firmly
Sebastian stormed out of the theatre, and Blaine followed, unaware that he had been watched through this entire ordeal and the guy had slowly followed them out, though keeping a distance. He saw Sebastian head to the Bathroom while Blaine waited outside, looking at his watch nervously, fiddling with something in his pocket. Kurt decided to make his presence known
"Hey Blaine" He said
"Kurt! Hi" Blaine said with a small, sad smile
"How are you?" Kurt asked
"I am um...fine just really worn out, you know. Great costumes by the way"
"Thanks. I am also under study for Angel, so I performed a bit a few nights ago"
"I'm sorry I missed that" Blaine said with a smile "Kurt it's lovely chatting to you, but do you mind, going just before Sebastian gets back, please"
"Why Blaine? Why should I go?" Kurt asked puzzled
"It's complicated. Just please walk away."
"No Blaine. Something is going on. Is it Sebastian? Is he hurting you?"
"What? No" Blaine said as convincingly as he could
"You always were a bad actor Blaine outside of theatre. What is going on?"
Just at that moment, Sebastian walked out of the bathroom and Blaine looked at him . He recognised that look. The eyes were calm, almost dead and there was no longer his Sebastian behind them. Oh god what had he done now?
"Hey Sebastian, Blaine and I were just chatting ya know"
"Yeah. Good work. We need to go Blaine" He said roughly taking Blaine's arm. Blaine turned to follow but his other arm was grabbed by Kurt
"Leave him alone. If he wants to talk to me, he can talk to me!"
"You were the one who refused to give him your number making it impossible to chat" Sebastian shouted
Blaine was now tugging on Sebastian's arm, trying to get him to leave but Sebastian was stubborn and ot his logical self.
"Well you need to stop hurting your finace!"
"You don't know what your talking about" Sebastian said squaring upto Kurt. He was astounded were all this venom was coming from and courage. Blaine was getting desperate. He knew what was going to happen.
"I know a Meerkat face like you hasn't changed his ways and is still bullying." Kurt answered "Though how in the world you managed to get a daughter is beyond me of you bully your fiance. You never showed love for anyone including Blaine, and were only interested in getting in Blaine's pants!"
Blaine was going to reprimand Kurt, but saw Sebastian move in his eye line. Everything happen in slow motion. Sebastian went to smack Kurt, Blaine appeared beside him, and firmly put his arm around Sebastian's waist and grabbed the wrist further away from him, he then pushed his hips into Sebastian, while his closet hand cupped around Sebastian's wrist, effectively restraining him though not without Sebastian panicking and head butting Blaine who had been just a moment to slow. It was however very red, and would bruise by the morning
"Sebastian, you need to calm down..."
"I'm calling the police" A man said from the counter
Sebastian suddenly lurched forward, almost sending Blaine flying, but Blaine held strong though just barely in the adapted embrace he had been taught for emergencies
"Please don't" Said Blaine
"He almost assaulted a member of my staff"
"I will explain. Sebastian calm down, please calm down babe, please listen to me, please relax. Please. It will all be OK. You just need to calm down" Blaine said "I can't let you go till your calm down. Please hun. Breathe. Take nice deep breaths. If you don't I am going to need to give you your medication. Kurt please go stand behind the counter. Don't argue! When I let go, nobody say anything! Understood! " Blaine said firmly and Kurt saw a warning glint in his eyes and hurried to obey, the rest of the staff following Blaine's suggestion
Everyone in the lobby waited with baited breathe, Blaine very slowly felt Sebastian's body weakening, relaxing. He slowly released his hold on Sebastian, moving to a side embrace, which was less restrictive,
"My Fiance and I are now leaving. Kurt has my number if anyone has anything they want to ask. I respectfully ask that you do not call the police and nobody try to approach us as we leave. I am very aware of what is going on, and we are dealing with it." Blaine's voice remained firm and while Sebastian still had a small glint in his eyes, it was nothing dangerous but Blaine knew the slightest thing would upset him. Using the side embrace though loosening his hands on Sebastian he turned him around and walked them out of the theatre. Once outside Sebastian seemed to come to his senses and his body relaxed completely
"Are you calmer now? Do you need your medication?"
"No, I uh, I need...I don't know" Sebastian sounded lost and Blaine cursed the fact they hadn't driven here, thinking how much easier it would be
"OK hang on" He pulled out a phone and placed a call, his hands never leaving Sebastian, klnowing at the moment he was the anchor
"Nick. Hi mate, it's me...Yeah that's what I wanted to talk to you about...are you busy?...No. Would you do me a favour...could you possibly give me and Seb a ride back to our house? Seb's had an incident and I'd rent a car...OK. Yeah we are by the Caspian Theatre...10 minutes?...perfect. Thanks Nick, I owe you big time"
"Nick and Jeff are coming to pick us up, and give us a ride home. I have some water. Please take these now Sebastian" He said dropping two pills into some water, and shaking them before handing them to Sebastian who swallowed dutifully. He then led Sebastian to a bench and gently tightened Sebastain's coat before pulling him into his shoulder, and feeling Sebastian slowly drift off. Nick and Jeff appeared minutes later, and Blaine helped Sebastian into the car. The moment Sebastian was in the warm, he fell asleep on Blaine. Blaine held him.
Jeff just stared at Blaine who slightly shook his head
"Did you see Rent? What did you think? Nick and I saw it last week. Your never guess who..." He saw Blaine's eyes narrow "was playing Rodger. He really sucked" Causing Blaine to smile gratefully.
They continued the car journey talking about light hearted subjects while they drove back to New Jersey. Once home, Blaine invited them in, guided Sebastian from the car to his bedroom, before leaving him on his side, gently tucking a pillow behind him so he wouldn't roll over. He lightly kissed him before placing the comforter on the bed. He walked down the corridor and went into the lounge were Nick and Jeff were, knowing he owed them an explanation. Nick spoke first
"What happened tonight Blaine? We were a little worried..and you will have an impressive bruise tomorrow" He said leaning forward to inspect Blaine's face carefully.
"I know. Thank you for collecting us. I didn't feel comfy on the train and a taxi while expensive, I was worried something would happen. He had another episode. I don't even know if he'll remember it...but I don't think its the drugs causing this..." Just then his phone went off, a text, he checked his phone and saw it was an unknown number, he opened the message cautiously 'It's Kurt. I hope you are OK. We need to talk. Can I call you?' ...
A/N: Hey ya, Fabulous people. Please read and review. I know this is a longer chapter, but I suddenly felt inspired and couldn't stop. Do you like the new Kurt? I mean I know he went about it all wrong, but do you like how defensive he still is of Blaine and how he is standing up to bullies though, though not for the reasons he thinks. I sometimes think Kurt's portrayed in stories as a weak character but he has so much courage and you will learn more of Kurt's back story later, but lets just say it hasn't been the best. What about Sebastian and Blaine? Have you figured it out? All will be revealed in the next Chapter. Thank You for reading. Xx
P.S Thank you Kurt-Blaine-Klaine for noticing the slip. I have ow adapted the story accordingly. Xx
