Chapter 8 Fairy Tales and Hope
After Blaine explained everything to Sebastian, Sebastian looked mildly annoyed.
"So Kurt Hummel was there? I attacked him?" Sebastian asked curious
"No. He thought you were hurting me" Blaine answered quietly
"His not wrong Blaine. I am hurting you aren't I?"
"You...don't mean to Seb. I know. You haven't really hurt me"
"Blaine. I have. I simply...I can't stand doing this any more."
"Can't stand what Seb? What are you saying?" Blaine asked desperately
"Will this really be worth it in the end? Towards the end, what is going to happen? I will lose my dignity, my mind, the one man I love. If I go out on my own terms.." Sebastian said running his hands nervously through his rapidly thinning hair
"No. We have had this discussion before. We are not doing that." Blaine said determination in his eyes
"All we are doing is buying time. It will never be cured completely." Sebastian tried to argue
"You don't know that!" Blaine cried
"I do! I went to the doctor the other day,without your knowledge and he said that we were were looking for ways to increase my life expectancy. He didn't expect it to be cured. It's too far along. I have my scan tomorrow, to see what is happening. You are coming right?" Sebastian asked
"Of course. It's 3pm right?" Blaine answered mentally doing the math in his head
"Yeah. You finishing class early tomorrow?" Sebastian continued to question
"Yeah I got someone to cover last period. I am all yours" Blaine answered confidently
"Did you want to meet for lunch before we go? I could finish earlier"
"I can't. I need to finish my planning for final period and finish some marking. I can meet you at NY General just before 3" Blaine answered without hesitation. The one thing he had learned to do in recent year was act. "We will get through this Seb. We can get more details about treatment, maybe there are treatments abroad we can try. Maybe treatment will have shrunk it. Maybe they have some new drugs you can take or new procedures. I mean anything is possible right?" Blaine said confidently
"Blaine. I love your eternal optimism, I really do. But I think you live outside of reality sometimes." Sebastian answered quietly looking at Blaine
"I like to think of myself as living my fairy tale, were I have my Prince Charming" He said Sliding his arms around Sebastian's neck and looking deep in her eyes "we have a beautiful daughter, We live in a beautiful home." Blaine finished with a smile
"Does your fairy tale involve a dying husband?" Sebastian answered slightly bitterly
"My Fairy tale says we live happily, ever after. I still hope for that" Blaine said quietly, eyes cast downwards
"I love you Blaine. I love the fact you are a dreamer' Sebastian answered gently running his hand through Blaine's lose curls "And I love the fact you call me your Prince Charming, I never thought I deserved someone like you. We have a beautiful daughter and I love the fact my husband is sex on stick handsome. I just wish your dream had a happy ever after"
"It will do. One way or another, it will have an Happy Ever after and you will be part of it. Now enough with the sappy talk. Let's get our baby girl and have dinner together" Blaine said quietly, though still basking in Sebastian's rare displays of emotions.
"Of course" Sebastian answered happy that Blaine had dropped the subject of his treatment. Unbeknownst to him, Blaine had picked up his diversion but decided to go with it. He knew Sebastian always faced reality, after high school never allowing himself to dream. He never dreamed he'd end up with Blaine. He had told Blaine many times that he thought Kurt would end up with Blaine. Yes. Blaine would be saying he was lying if he said he hadn't loved Kurt, He had thought Kurt was his soul mate. He had often wondered if it was possible to have more than one soul mate when he and Sebastian met by accident that fateful day. The day that changed both their lives. Though since his break up with Kurt, and growing up, despite what Sebastian said he had lost the romantic notion of a soul mate. He knew he loved Sebastian. He wouldn't have settled for anyone else. He had a beautiful daughter. A house. A constant job. He was happy. He knew this fairy tale wouldn't last. He knew that in a few short years if Seb even lasted that long, that he would lose the man he loved. He was adamant that until then, he was going to make Sebastian's life as easy as possible. The only thought that did truly trouble him was lying to Sebastian about Kurt. In his mind he decided he would meet with Kurt tomorrow then come clean to Sebastian the next evening. Until then he would live in ignorance, with his beautiful daughter Kira and husband.
