Chapter 14
Ordinarily, Sebastian would make his way down the spiral staircase at a normal pace. However, after a good night's sleep Sebastian was feeling particularly chipper and was almost skipping down the steps, Jesse falling in to step behind him.
"You're in a good mood," Jesse observed.
"Kurt has agreed to be my boyfriend," Sebastian replied. "Therefore I am one step closer to introducing him to my bedroom mattress and ultimately leaving him broken-hearted."
"Are you sure you're not in a good mood because you actually have real feelings for him?" Jesse asked.
"Jesse, Jesse, my dear friend, you are entertainingly foolish in the mornings," Sebastian smiled. "I don't have feelings, just hormones. And before the month is out, Hummel is getting his public school boy ass laid."
"What was that?" Jesse asked, both boys blinking as a mysterious flash of light attacked their eyes.
"Probably nothing," Sebastian shrugged, shaking his head a little before spying an oddly dressed boy with a wild head of hair hurrying away with a camera hanging around his neck and pens and paper poking out of his pockets. "What the hell is that? It smells like it came from a public school."
"Maybe he's transferring," Jesse suggested as the boy stopped at the end of the corridor and nervously looked round, only to jump in fright and release a strange squeak before running off. "Or maybe he escaped from a mental institution."
"Let's just continue on our way to breakfast," Sebastian said. "I still have to devote some time to making Kurt fall even more in love with me. The more he cares for me the more he will cry when I end things."
"I love you Bas, but if you make the China Doll cry I will kick your ass," Jesse told him seriously. "Destroying the heart and soul of a show choir competitor is one thing, but deliberately hurting a friend who has already been through so much is just wrong."
"Well you're forgetting something," Sebastian pointed out and Jesse quirked an eyebrow awaiting some form of elaboration. "He isn't my friend. This is all just an act and I think maybe you need to work on your show face a little more."
"I mean it Sebastian, if you hurt him I'll kick your ass," Jesse insisted before shouldering Sebastian out of the way and stalking off.
"Thanks," Sebastian muttered sarcastically and bitterly to himself as he rubbed the spot on his arm Jesse had bumped. "I love you too, St James."
Carrying on towards the breakfast hall, Sebastian forced the scowl off of his face and entered the room with a smile, a twinkle forming in his eye as his sight landed on Kurt. He selected himself a cup of coffee and two slices of toast before joining the table that seated Kurt and a few other Warblers, Jesse and Blaine included.
"Good morning, beautiful," Sebastian greeted setting his breakfast down then tilting Kurt's chin up with his hand and dropping a long slow kiss to his mouth.
"Well, well, Sebastian Smythe is doing things properly for once," Nick commented. "Rumour has it that you and Kurt are actually dating."
"Yeah, what's your secret, Kurt?" David asked with a kind cheerful smile. "How did you manage to win the heart of Dalton's very own Brian Kinney?"
"I like to think my fabulous sense of fashion had something to do with it," Kurt replied seeming a little shy, but he relaxed instantly when Sebastian rested his hand on top of his own.
"I think you two make a lovely couple," Trent said politely.
"I disagree," Wes announced, "I think Kurt can do better," he said cheekily.
"Go fuck yourself with your gavel," Sebastian retorted and Wes rolled his eyes. "You're just jealous because I have a gorgeous boyfriend and you're stuck dating some girl."
"I like girls," Wes pointed out.
"I fail to understand why," Sebastian commented taking a sip of his coffee and then leaning in to press a kiss to the pulse point on Kurt's neck. "Males are clearly the superior form in every way possible."
"Hey, girls can be fabulous too," Kurt said defensively. "My best friends are girls."
"What about us?" Jesse and Blaine asked with a slight pout.
"Do not despair, you're my friends too," Kurt assured them.
"But you like me better right?" Jesse asked and Blaine frowned at him.
"I love you both equally," Kurt grinned.
"Love you too, China Doll," Jesse returned the sentiment. "And if your new boyfriend gives you any trouble, let me know, I'll do what I can to sort him out." His words seemed casual to the others, but a stern look directed at Sebastian made it clear that he was sincere and referring to the bet.
"I'll keep that in mind," Kurt laughed oblivious to the tension shooting between Sebastian and Jesse.
"Kurt," Sebastian said to gain his new boyfriends attention, "I wanted to give you something."
"Herpes," Jeff interrupted causing some of the others to laugh.
"I do not have herpes," Sebastian assured Kurt while glaring at Jeff and kicking David under the table as he was laughing the most. "I just wanted you to wear… this," he said removing the silver watch from his wrist and linking it around Kurt's. "Just a little something to symbolise that you're my boyfriend, and to warn Jesse to keep away," he added in a joking tone so that only Jesse would understand the threat to keep quiet about the bet.
"Thank you," Kurt gushed with a happy blush. He caught Blaine's eye and the darker haired teen presented a smile for him before casting a significant look to Sebastian that indicated they would be having a private discussion later.

Throughout the day, many of the students approached Kurt to ask if he was really in a relationship with the renowned manizer Sebastian Smythe. He then happily boasted that he was and delighted in showing everyone that he was wearing Sebastian's watch.
With so many people clamoured around him so often, Kurt missed the bushy-haired figure sneaking around snapping photographs and recording snatches of conversation.

Fully aware that Blaine was looking to have a conversation and positive that Jesse had more to say, Sebastian made the effort to avoid his two closest friends. He did well for quite some time, but while lying low he noticed another sneaking around trying to stay hidden. It was the same boy he and Jesse had seen earlier that day, he was certain of it. He could recognise the scent of a public school anywhere and not a single student at Dalton was cursed with tumbleweed for hair like this mysterious boy.
Doing his best to look casual while still evade Blaine and Jesse, Sebastian followed after the strange teenage boy who clearly didn't belong in the walls of Dalton Academy. He pursued the strange boy out to the parking lot, managing to remain undetected. However, when the spectacle-wearing boy hopped into an old banged-up car and drove off there was nothing Sebastian could do to follow him to learn more about who he was and what he was doing.
He was fully intent on returning to the school building when another oddity caught his eye. To his right were three figures dressed in army clothes with green painted faces standing in front of a bush. Two of the figures were very much female and therefore had no reason to be anywhere near Dalton Academy and all three were emitting the generic public school smell he so despised and not one of them was camouflaged successfully.
Hands in his pockets, Sebastian sauntered over to them determined to find out who they were and what they were up to. As he stepped closer, he was positive he recognised one of the girls.
"Brittany?" Sebastian asked staring at her in complete confusion.
"Ssh, you can't see me," Brittany whispered and the other girl rolled her eyes while the boy failed to contain a quick laugh.
"Are you here to see Kurt?" Sebastian questioned crossing his arms over his chest. "Or are you here to spy on our Glee Club?"
"That's totally a good idea, why didn't Coach Sylvester think of that?" Brittany asked.
"Because the Glee Club sucks," the other girl snapped and Sebastian quirked his eyes in surprise, impressed that an individual with Down Syndrome could be so feisty.
"If you're not here to spy on The Warblers then what are you here for?" Sebastian demanded to know.
"That information is classified," the blonde boy said putting on a voice that sounded like it came from an action movie.
"Brittany," Sebastian sighed offering the girl his most charming smile. "Sweet, adorable Brittany. Has anyone ever told you how lovely you look with your face painted green? And remember when we met outside the Lima Bean?"
"Yeah, you got beat up by some mean guys and nearly started crying," Brittany replied.
"But more specifically I stopped Kurt getting beat up," Sebastian reminded her. "And Kurt's your friend and now he's my boyfriend and since I protected him that makes the two of us friends, right?"
"I can only be friends with someone if Lord Tubbington gives his approval," Brittany told him and Sebastian took a breath to control his growing frustration.
"Just tell me what you're doing here," Sebastian prompted. "And perhaps one of you knows something about that ugly kid with the fuzzy hair who was running around with a camera."
"That was Jacob Ben Israel, he writes for our school newspaper," Brittany informed him while her two companions shushed her.
"If he writes for your school paper what is he doing in my school?" Sebastian asked. "And what are you and your two friends doing here?"
"Oh sorry," Brittany apologised with a smile. "This is Becky and Sam. Becky's on the Cheerio's with me and Sam's in the Glee Club. He's a good kisser," she added and Sam grinned smugly.
"Sam," Sebastian nodded in acknowledgement shaking the blonde boy's hand. "Becky," he greeted taking her hand and pressing a kiss to it only for her to wipe it off in disgust. "Rube, hurtful almost," he commented to himself before shaking his head. "You still haven't told me what you're doing here."
"Coach Sylvester didn't send us here to spy on you," Brittany replied clearly and confidently.
"Look dude," Sam said, "we're just looking out for Kurt. He's a good friend of ours."
"And Coach Sylvester really cares about him," Becky added. "And she won't be happy if anyone upsets him."
"So make sure Kurt stays happy," Sam suggested. "Make sure he doesn't get hurt."
"And if he does?" Sebastian dared to ask.
"Then you will have a very protective father…" Sam said.
"An entire Glee Club…" Brittany added.
"And a psycho Cheerleading Coach…" Becky warned.
"All out to make you pay," the three of them said together.
"We clear, bitch?" Becky asked and Sebastian was once again shocked and impressed by her behaviour.
"Clear," Sebastian replied his eyes flickering between the three of them.
"Come on," Sam instructed leading the two girls away.
"Do you think he saw us?" Brittany asked in a whisper and Sebastian rolled his eyes before heading back inside, unaware that information about him would shortly be presented to one Sue Sylvester.

Sebastian found Kurt and sat with his boyfriend at dinner. They leaned in to one another to exchange whispers in each other's ears as well as a few quick kisses. Once they had eaten, they accompanied one another to Warbler practice where Wes directed them to sing a cheesy romantic duet that would outdo a Finchel number any day.
After Glee rehearsal, Kurt invited Sebastian into his room and the two worked on a few homework assignments together. Sebastian was desperate to move things from the desk to the bed but he sensed it wasn't the right time yet. So he behaved every part the perfect gentleman before leaving Kurt's room with just a single kiss to wear on his lips.
Entering his own dorm room, Sebastian switched the light on to find Jesse and Blaine perched on his bed awaiting his return.
"Slightly melodramatic don't you think?" He asked referring to their waiting in the dark.
"We need to talk," Blaine stated.
"About what?" Sebastian asked.
"You know what," Blaine told him.
"It isn't right what you're doing to Kurt," Jesse said. "I promise you now that if you go through with this you will only regret it. Just accept the truth… you're really falling for him."
"I'm fooling him," Sebastian said with great emphasis on the second word. "Not falling for him. There is a world of difference."
"You're only fooling yourself, old friend," Jesse responded. "And it has to stop. I won't stand by and watch you do this. You'll hurt Kurt and you'll destroy yourself. This is your chance to be happy, Sebastian."
"To be truly happy," Blaine added. "This is your chance for love."
"Sorry Blainey-boy," Sebastian apologised mockingly ruffling the shorter teen's hair. "But I don't live in a cute little Disney movie or one of your poorly scripted chick-flicks. This whole deal with Kurt has nothing to do with love. It's just a fun little game to keep myself occupied."
"No, it's cruel and it's bullying," Blaine told him. "Look, I care about you Seb and I want you to be with Kurt. But I don't want it to be like this. I thought if you just got to know him better that you really would fall for him and you'd give up on this ridiculous bet. But now you're getting closer and closer to him, closer to hurting him, and still you refuse to accept how much you really care about him. I can't keep quiet anymore Sebastian. As your friend, I have to stand up," he stood, "and tell you with complete honesty that you are being an ass."
"Oh honey, your words do wound," Sebastian retorted sarcastically.
"Sebastian," Jesse announced, "this is for your own good." He stood and walked up to his friend before striking him hard across the face.
"What the hell?" Sebastian hollered shoving Jesse in the chest, the force sending him crashing back onto the bed. "You think you can just waltz in here and smack me in the face? What kind of friend are you, St James?"
"One of the only real friends you have," Jesse hissed through clenched teeth.
"Well maybe I don't want a friend who interferes with my affairs," Sebastian snapped back.
"Don't," Jesse warned in a cold dangerous voice. "Don't you dare try and push me away, not now… not ever. I'm your friend, Sebastian, your best friend whether you want me to be or not. And I am not interfering. Blaine and I are just trying to stop you from fucking up your love life."
"I have an amazing love life without any help from either of you," Sebastian said.
"You have a sex life, Seb," Blaine told him. "That's all. All you've ever had with anybody is meaningless sex and that is not good for you. It's ok to have some fun and I understand that being physical with somebody can stop you feeling lonely but at some point you have to grow up and be brave. Just have a little courage to fall in love and let yourself be loved."
"You and Kurt have a chance at something real," Jesse added. "Don't screw it up just because you're scared."
"I'm not scared," Sebastian replied in an empty voice, his eyes cold and posture stiff. "I'm bored," he declared pulling his door open, a clear signal for them to leave.
"Think about what we've said," Blaine told him before stepping out.
"This isn't over, baby," Jesse said pressing a kiss to Sebastian's cheek.
"Get out," Sebastian snapped shoving him off and slamming the door shut behind him. "This weekend," Sebastian said to himself. "I'm taking Kurt's virginity and breaking his heart this weekend."
