Blaine slipped inside of Sebastian's dorm room and closed the door behind him. He had never been more thankful that Sebastian had a single dorm. It gave them the privacy and the space they needed to be them.

Blaine had received a text from Wes informing him that Sebastian had asked him about why Blaine had transferred mid-semester, so Blaine now had an idea why Sebastian had seemed possessive when Blaine had returned from Colorado during the summer.

Blaine slung his bag into the corner of the room and quickly slipped out of his Cheerios uniform, pulling on a pair of sweats and one of Sebastian's hoodies. He then flopped backwards on Sebastian's bed and breathed in the smell that was uniquely Sebastian from his pillow.

When Sebastian entered his dorm room an hour later, he found Blaine curled up asleep on his bed. Sebastian closed the door softly behind him, toed off his shoes and hung his blazer on the back of his chair. He loosened his tie chucking it onto the desk and undid the top couple of buttons on his shirt, slowly making his way towards a sleeping Blaine.

Sebastian took in Blaine's tired features and frowned. He had known that something was up with Blaine when he had spoken to him earlier but hadn't wanted to push. He sat down on the bed and ran a hand soothingly through Blaine's curls, smiling that Blaine had left them free from gel.

"Hey sleepy head..."

Blaine murmured and rolled over so that he was flush against Sebastian's side, "Bas?"

"Hey Killer...you have a good nap?"

Blaine nodded and reached up to wipe his eyes before staring lovingly at Sebastian, "Hmm...what time is it?"

"Half 7...Hunter kept us longer than any of us wanted..."

Blaine chuckled as he pushed himself up so he was sat with his back resting against the headboard. Blaine leaned over and captured Sebastian's lips with his own. Sebastian moaned softly and wrapped his arms around Blaine's waist.

"Bas...hmm...stop...I need to...to talk to you..."

Sebastian pulled back slowly, "I knew there was something you weren't telling me on the phone..."

Blaine took a deep breath and clasped Sebastian's hand in his own, "This...isn't nice...and I wasn't about to tell you over the phone...what I'm about to tell you but...you need to know...and Wes said you've already asked questions...so...I'm ready...to tell you why I transferred mid-semester..."

Sebastian took a deep breath, "You don't have..."

"I do...and...and I want to..."

"Okay...okay Killer..."

"I transferred to Dalton from West Westerville High about a month into what should have been my sophomore year...but I entered as a freshman..."

Blaine took a deep breath before continuing, "At my old school...there was this Sadie Hawkins dance...and er...everyone knew I was gay...I mean up until that point it had been nothing more than locker shoves...but I asked the only other out gay guy at school to go with me...and so...we went to the dance...and...and everything was fine...we were in the parking lot...waiting...waiting for his dad to come and pick us up...and these jocks...they surrounded us and..."

"Blaine..."

"They started hitting us...and kicking us...and...and there...there was so much blood...and then I...don't really remember anything...else...until I woke in the hospital...about 4 months later...and my dad was there...I...I had to...to stay in the hospital for another month...and I was in wheelchair up until 3 weeks before I started at Dalton...and...and only Wes knew...I...I never told anyone else..."

Sebastian sat frozen beside Blaine only vaguely aware of the scolding hot tears sliding down his cheeks.

"Bas?"

Sebastian turned at the sound of Blaine's voice and pulled him into a tight hug. Blaine relaxed in Sebastian's embrace and began to cry. Not just gentle tears. Full snotty sobs that left his cheeks blotchy. Sebastian allowed his own tears to fall for what his boyfriend had been through. The pair stayed sat like that for a good 30 minutes, the only sounds were of their tears and sniffing. They only pulled apart when there was a knock on the door. Sebastian slowly untangled himself from Blaine and rubbed his eyes before making his way over to the door, while Blaine reached for a tissue.

Sebastian pulled the door open slightly, so that the knockers (Thad and Jeff) couldn't see Blaine, "Hey..."

"Is everything okay?" Thad asked immediately, his concern evident.

"Yeah...allergies...what can I do for you two?"

"We were wondering whether you wanted to come out for dinner with us...after you and Nick made your escape earlier Hunter kept us even longer so we missed dinner...we heard from some of the others that you hadn't been down for dinner...so do you want to come?"

Sebastian rubbed a hand on the back of his neck. He was actually starving and he had no clue as to whether Blaine had eaten or not. But the guys didn't know that Blaine was here and he wasn't sure whether Blaine wanted them to know he was here. "Err..."

Sebastian was saved from answering as Blaine ducked underneath his arm, with no visable sign that he had been sobbing just moments early. Damn, he was a good actor.

"Blaine!" Thad said in surprise.

"Why didn't you tell us you were here?" Jeff said as he pulled his friend into a hug.

Once Jeff had let him go, Blaine stepped back so that his back was flush against Sebastian's chest.

Blaine smiled, "Do you think you can bring something back? I know he said his allergies were messing up but I think he's getting sick...you don't want him to be sick for lacrosse..."

Thad nodded, "Of course we can bring something back...any preference?"

"Nope...thanks guys..."

"It's fine...you go look after Seb...I need him on top form for lacrosse...I hate to admit it but he's actually quite the stud..."

Sebastian smirked but before he could reply Jeff had yanked Thad down the corridor and Blaine had tugged him back inside his dorm room, closing the door behind them.

"You are an exceptionally good actor..."

Blaine rolled his eyes and smiled slightly, "Thanks...but they're just oblivious..."

The pair moved back to sit on the bed but this time they say facing each other clasping each others hands. Sebastian noted that Blaine was beginning to shake so he leaned forward and placed a kiss on his lips.

"I love you...and...and I want to kill the bastards who..."

"Bas...it's okay...I...I got used to the fact that they were never gonna truly get what they deserve...but I...Wes told me to remember that I am better than them and...I do...that's pretty much how I got by early on..."

"Bas..."

"There is nothing you or anyone can do to change this...I love you...and you are doing everything that I need and want by being with me..."

"I...just...why tell me now? I mean I'm honored that you have trusted me with this and...and that you needed to be ready...but why today?"

"McKinley is having a Sadie Hawkins dance..."

"Come spend the night here..."

Blaine smiled and squeezed Sebastian's hand, "As much as I would love that...I'm class president...I have to be there..."

"When is it?"

"Next Friday..."

"Time?"

"6..."

"I'll pick you up at half 5..."

"Bas...that is not why I told..."

"I know...I know...I...let me do this, okay?"

"Okay..."
