Blaine was hesitant as he followed Sebastian into Scandals. The other boy had asked him to come out with him and Blaine had thought it sounded like fun. A night of drinking and dancing had been just what Blaine needed after homework had been kicking his ass lately.

Besides, it was just going to be the two of them. No boyfriend to make Blaine feel guilty over dancing and making the most of the night.

Sebastian bought him a drink and then they danced, bodies moving easily to the music together. There'd been something between them since before the first night they'd danced together. Blaine had felt it the first time they met, something like electricity sparking between them. Their eyes had met at Dalton the previous year and Blaine hadn't been able to look away.

It was only later, way later, that he realized just how horrible he should feel considering he had a boyfriend. He loved Kurt, had loved him more than anything then, but Sebastian was something new. He carried himself with a confidence and sex appeal that Kurt couldn't manage. And the compliments fell so effortless from his lips. How could Blaine not be attracted to that when Kurt constantly told Blaine how inadequate he felt next to him, offering backhanded compliments that left Blaine feeling awful?

"Is this your first time at Scandals not looking for a guy to hook up with since the first time you brought me here?" Blaine asked, his tone teasing, just loud enough to be heard over the music.

They were pressed close together, Sebastian's hands hot on his hips as the taller boy grinned at him. "Who said I'm not looking?" Sebastian teased back, warm eyes making multiple promises. Blaine could feel it through his whole body, want pulsing through him.

Blaine groaned, resting his hands on Sebastian's chest, even as he made no move to step away from him. "Stop that," he said, making the other laugh.

And maybe it was the shots they'd had or maybe the way Blaine was obviously comfortable with him, but Sebastian leaned in, pressing his lips to Blaine's ear. "You don't really want me to," Sebastian whispered. Blaine closed his eyes, wishing he could argue but he couldn't. And actually… why should he want to? "You don't need to feel guilty. You're single. You've been single for months."

Sebastian rested his temple against Blaine's, pressing a quick kiss underneath his ear.

Blaine knew Sebastian was right and he looped his arms around Sebastian's neck, pressing himself close. He wasn't going to give in to temptation with him tonight. He wanted to but he knew that this was more than just a hook up. Kurt was still lingering in the back of his mind and it wasn't fair to Sebastian or Blaine to do something before he was ready.

If he and Sebastian were going to be something then he couldn't do it while his mind was still on Kurt. Soon, though. He wanted Sebastian, and he knew Sebastian wanted him.

"Have you ever wanted to be in a relationship?" Blaine asked, having to repeat the question when he wasn't loud enough to be heard over the music.

Sebastian met Blaine's eyes, making sure the other boy could read the sincerity in them before he nodded. "Yes," he said simply. It was just one word but it made heat fill him.

Blaine leaned forward, resting his head on Sebastian's chest which was probably too intimate in the bar they were in. But Sebastian just held him tighter, one hand on his back and the other curling gently around the back of his neck. Blaine never wanted to move.

Although it was nice to see Sam, Blaine couldn't help how weird it felt to have him at Dalton. He'd never really had visitors like this at the school, had never expected to have any. But Blaine showed him around, to his dorm room and then back to get coffee and sit across from each other at the small table.

Blaine listened to what was going on at McKinley, amazed that there was so much drama going on even without the show choir. But then, it was McKinley. Of course, there was craziness going on. He tried to comfort Sam over his SAT scores, talking about after graduation plans. He didn't admit that he'd applied to colleges all across the country and had been eager to see what Sebastian decided on.

He'd told Kurt over Christmas that he was applying for NYADA and he was still planning on trying but he wasn't sure how it would feel to go.

Not when he hadn't talked to Kurt in weeks.

Blaine focused back on the conversation, listening to Sam talk about how they'd all been rehearsing to sing at Mr. Schuester's wedding.

"So, you're coming, right?" Sam asked and Blaine resisted the urge to squirm under his gaze.

"I don't know. He invited me on Facebook but…" Blaine let his words trail off, shrugging his shoulders casually. "I don't know. I know everybody will be there. And… Kurt will be there. But I haven't talked to anybody lately. Besides, I'm kind of an outsider now, right?"

Sam shook his head quickly, frowning in a way that made Blaine feel a little better. At least Sam didn't believe it. "Dude, no. Look, it's not like we're competitors. We're out of the running. You should come. Who cares if Kurt's going to be there? You don't have to hang out with him. There are plenty of exes coming."

Which, okay, was a fair point. Blaine knew most of the glee club had dated and broken up with each other. But so many of them had forgiven each other and while he and Kurt weren't fighting anymore, it felt like Kurt was still trying to punish him. Blaine glanced down at his phone when it vibrated, seeing a text message from Sebastian.

They weren't dating but they were something. Sebastian hadn't pushed him, letting Blaine take things at his own pace. They spent most of their time together, texted when they weren't. Sebastian made Blaine happy, in a completely different way than Kurt had been with him. Blaine had loved Kurt, loved their relationship but the truth was… Blaine was starting to think maybe his relationship with Kurt hadn't been everything he'd thought it was.

Not when he'd never been as happy as he was with Sebastian and they weren't even dating.

"I don't think so," Blaine said honestly, unlocking his phone.

Sebastian Smythe
If Hunter doesn't stop texting me about Regionals plans, I'm going to strangle him. That's what Warblers meetings are for. I don't want to talk to him otherwise.

Blaine smiled softly, picking his phone up to quickly respond before focusing his attention back on Sam.

Blaine Anderson
If you strangle him, can I be your co-captain?

"Are you texting Kurt?" Sam asked, looking at Blaine with his eyebrows pulled together and his eyes narrowed, as if he was trying to figure something out.

Blaine blushed, shaking his head. He had a feeling he knew why Sam was asking and it had to do with the smile he quickly wiped from his face. No matter how Sam felt about Sebastian, or how any of them felt about Sebastian, Blaine liked him. And they didn't know how Sebastian treated him. "No, actually, um, it's Sebastian."

Sebastian Smythe
I think I've been a bad influence on you.

Blaine turned his phone over again, knowing he could just respond later as Sam frowned.

"Are you two… dating?"

Blaine hesitated, unsure what to say. They weren't but… "No, we're not. Not yet," Blaine finally said, the absolute truth. Because he knew it was going to happen.

While he'd hoped he and Kurt would get back together, wanted to believe at the time that Kurt would forgive him and their love would conquer all, he knew he and Sebastian would get together. And Blaine was going to be happy.

Sam nodded, looking contemplative for a moment before he spoke. "I'm sure you could bring him if you wanted."

Blaine blinked at him, wondering if Sam actually, truly felt like that would be a good idea. Because Blaine could immediately think of several worst-case scenarios when it came to Sebastian attending an event like that. "That sounds like a terrible idea. Why would I do that?"

Although the words hadn't been mean exactly, Sam still held up his hands in surrender. "I just figured you might want somebody around from here if you're uncomfortable around us."

Blaine's gaze softened, grateful for Sam's support. "I'm not uncomfortable around you," he said which was the truth. He wasn't uncomfortable exactly. Maybe just around Kurt. "I don't know about Sebastian coming to the wedding. Everybody hates him."

"I don't think everybody hates him," Sam said, thoughtfully. He was taking this serious in a way that had Blaine feeling so grateful for his friendship. "I think everybody cares about you and knows he hurt you."

"He didn't mean to," Blaine said, surprised to find himself defending Sebastian. But the truth was, he was over it and had been for a while. And as much as he knew Sebastian had done stupid things, he also knew Sebastian regretted it. He got to see Sebastian in a new light and he knew Sebastian wasn't normally like that. He just had terrible ideas at times. "It was a stupid prank that got out of hand. It's not like the New Directions haven't done stupid things too."

Sam looked at him for a long moment and Blaine thought, for the first time, that maybe Sam got him too. Maybe he should try to nurture his friendship with Sam better than he had been and he vowed to text him more. "If you two are going to be dating then you should invite him."

"I'll ask him," Blaine said decisively, figuring maybe he hadn't been trying as hard as he could with his former schoolmates. "If he doesn't want to go, I probably won't, though."

Sam nodded, obviously satisfied with that, before he launched into a story about Kitty dating Puck that had Blaine wide-eyed and slack-jawed.

Later that night, Blaine and Sebastian were hanging out in Sebastian's dorm room, homework forgotten while Sebastian chatted about lacrosse practice. He seemed to be able to sense that Blaine was distracted, smiling softly as Blaine stared at the ceiling, thinking.

"What's on your mind?"

Blaine bit his lip in response to the question, trying to figure out how he could ask Sebastian to go to the wedding with him. It would be one thing if they were just friends. He would ask him to go as friends but the truth was, they were more than that. And he knew weddings were an important step to attend together. "What are your plans for Valentine's Day?"

Sebastian's eyebrows raised to his hairline and Blaine quickly opened his mouth to clarify.

"Mr. Schuester, the New Direction's director, is getting married that day. All of the old alumni are going to be in town and I… I didn't want to go alone."

Sebastian nodded, sitting up so he could look at Blaine. "Can I ask you something?" Blaine nodded and Sebastian took a surprisingly long time to think, reaching out to rest his hand on top of Blaine's on the bed and sighing. "Do you…" He stopped, reconsidering before finally just speaking. "Do you just like the attention I give you or is there something between us? Because I don't mind either way. I like making you feel good. But I don't want you to think you have to go out with me because you're flattered that I have a healthy respect for your ass."

Blaine flushed, surprised by how serious Sebastian was and embarrassed over his question. But he didn't know why he thought Sebastian would hide behind something. He was open, honest, and completely without any shame. Sebastian gave him time to think about it, his hand curling around Blaine's as Blaine turned his hand so they were properly holding each other. "I… I think last year, I liked the way you made me feel. But now?" Blaine shrugged, his thumb rubbing slowly over Sebastian's knuckles. "I like the way I feel around you. I like talking to you. I like being around you. I like the way you're constantly touching me."

Sebastian grinned at Blaine's admission. "Yeah, I had noticed that. I like touching you. I like seeing you so happy. And you make me happy."

Blaine breathed out, holding onto Sebastian's hand and leaning in to rest his forehead against Sebastian's. He'd already known that but hearing Sebastian say it out loud? It did crazy things to his heart. "Does that mean you'll come to the wedding with me?"

Sebastian nodded, squeezing Blaine's hand gently. "Yeah, I'll come with you. As if I've been able to deny you anything ever."

Taking his hand from Sebastian's to shove his shoulder gently, Blaine laughed. "You told my entire show choir that I told you our setlist. And threw a rock salt slushie at my face."

"That was a mistake," Sebastian said, reaching his hand up to cup Blaine's cheek, serious now as he looked at him. It was the same way he'd looked when he'd apologized last year, when Blaine had still been angry but had known he'd forgive him eventually. "You know that was a mistake, right?"

And Blaine knew but he lowered his eyes, biting his lower lip. "Because it was aimed at Kurt?"

Sebastian frowned, shaking his head and he looked so serious that Blaine turned his head, pressing a quick kiss to his palm so Sebastian knew he wasn't upset. "No. I don't care about him but it was a mistake because it hurt you. And I'm not talking about your eye."

"Sebastian," Blaine breathed, his fingers trailing along Sebastian's jaw.

"I fucked up a lot last year. But I'm trying to be better."

Blaine smiled. If anybody had told him the previous year he'd be here, Blaine… actually probably wouldn't have been so surprised. He'd be disappointed in himself, concerned about Kurt but… He'd always known there was something there between him and Sebastian. "You're a lot better."

Slowly, giving Blaine plenty of time if he wanted to pull away, Sebastian leaned in. But Blaine pressed forward, closing the rest of the distance and meeting Sebastian's lips in a kiss that sent a thrill rushing through him. This was it. It felt like Blaine had been waiting for this for months.

A few days before Valentine's Day, Kurt sent Blaine a text that made him swallow hard, knowing this could have been what he was waiting for. It felt like he'd wanted to get back together with Kurt for so long but now…

Kurt Hummel
You're coming to the wedding, right? Do you want to carpool? Rachel's driving me crazy.

Blaine Anderson
I'm sorry. I'm actually going to the wedding with somebody.

Kurt Hummel
Who? Sam? I don't mind if he carpools with us.

Blaine let out a breath, shaking, even as he knew he had no regrets.

Blaine Anderson
Sebastian, actually. I already ran it by Mr. Schuester on Facebook and he said it was okay for me to bring a plus one.

By the time Kurt responded several hours later, Blaine was doing math problems with Sebastian on the other boy's bed.

Kurt Hummel
You got to bring a plus one and you decided to bring Sebastian?

Blaine Anderson
I'm not doing this with you over text. I'll see you at the wedding.

Sebastian groaned, flopping back on the bed dramatically and tossing his pencil onto the paper. Blaine couldn't help the way he smiled affectionately, shifting so he could rest his hands on Sebastian's chest, leaning over him. Immediately, the other boy perked up, eyes lighting up with interest as his arms wrapped around Blaine.

Ever since they'd kissed for the first time, they'd been experimenting with more. They hadn't gone further than making out but Blaine had a feeling it wasn't for lack of want on either of their parts. Blaine knew Sebastian had wanted him since the previous year and honestly, Blaine had too. He'd only chosen Kurt because he cared about feelings more than sexual want.

But now he could have both. And the idea that he could have Sebastian…

Blaine leaned in, kissing Sebastian softly. They still had homework to do and obviously Sebastian could see the other boy wasn't going to let things get carried away but the promise was there. Blaine knew Sebastian could feel that Blaine was there for him.

Sebastian pulled away after a few moments, rubbing Blaine's back gently. "What's on your mind?"

Blaine bit his lower lip, fingers playing with the top button on Sebastian's shirt. Of course, Sebastian was able to tell that Blaine was distracted. Because Sebastian cared about him enough to ask. "Thinking about the wedding," he said quietly, seeing that wasn't the answer Sebastian had expected.

"Excited to see all your friends?" Sebastian asked and Blaine hesitated, trying to read what was in Sebastian's expression.

It only took him a moment to realize. There was just a hint of insecurity in Sebastian's eyes, only visible because Blaine had been spending a lot of time looking at Sebastian lately. Sometimes it felt like Sebastian knew him better than he knew himself but then he realized he knew Sebastian too. It shouldn't surprise him that Sebastian was worried how Blaine would react to being around the New Directions, around Kurt again.

Blaine leaned in, just brushing his lips across Sebastian's this time. "Kind of," Blaine admitted because he was. Having spent time Sam again made him miss the other boy a lot, wondering if maybe he'd find that he missed the rest of them as well. But the truth was, the New Directions weren't his friends the way the Warblers were. "Mostly I'm glad you're coming with me."

Sebastian's gaze softened even as he shook his head. "We'll see how the rest of the New Directions feel about me being there," Sebastian said but he didn't look nervous or upset.

That was something Blaine loved about Sebastian. The fact that he didn't care what others thought about him most of the time. It was a trait Blaine knew he could use a bit of himself. Blaine had a bad feeling he'd never manage it as effortlessly as Sebastian did.

Blaine was sitting in the passenger seat of Sebastian's car the day of the wedding, legs shaking and his fingers tapping against his knee as they pulled into a parking space. Sebastian glanced over, reaching out to grab his hand and pulling it over to rest on his own thigh.

"We don't have to go," Sebastian murmured, voice serious. "Or I don't have to go in. You can call me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

Blaine shook his head, letting out a shaky breath and turning to face the other boy. "I want to do this," he said and it was the truth. He wanted to bring Sebastian, as his date, so he wouldn't be alone. If either of them left, they'd both leave. But Blaine wanted to see his old friends and he wanted Sebastian at his side.

"Okay. I'm serious, though. Say the word and we'll go," Sebastian said and then he hesitated, squeezing Blaine's hand gently to get his attention. "I won't listen to them be dicks to you. You know that, right?"

Blaine frowned, glancing out the window as he tried to find anybody he recognized. Nobody yet. "I don't want a scene."

"I'm not planning on causing one," Sebastian promised.

And Blaine knew he should say something else, ask Sebastian to behave but… he didn't hate the idea of somebody having his back. Because he knew Sebastian was being serious when he said he wouldn't let them talk badly to him. Blaine knew it was unlikely that any of the New Directions, former or current, would confront them directly, but he also knew how dramatic they always were.

Blaine nodded, getting out of the car and moving around so he could tangle his fingers with Sebastian's. Sam was on them immediately, running across the parking lot and giving Blaine a quick hug.

"Dude, I wasn't sure you'd come!" Sam said excitedly, giving Sebastian a nod that the other boy returned after glancing at Blaine.

"Well," Blaine said softly, gesturing with his hand that was tangled with Sebastian's before following Sam towards the church. "I told you if Sebastian came, I'd come."

Sam was the one who led them towards where he'd obviously had a seat. There were a few whispers as they walked but Blaine resolutely ignored them, keeping a hold of Sebastian. Sebastian seemed to take it in stride which Blaine was grateful for. He hoped they could both at least have a decent time. Brittany, who took Sam's hand, Mike and Tina all greeted them politely although Tina glared at Sebastian for a moment.

Once they were seated, Sebastian's arm around him as Sebastian chatted with Mike politely about the school he was going to, Blaine looked around.

"Dude, don't mind him," Sam said quickly when Blaine's turned towards Kurt. He saw why immediately. Rachel and Kurt were whispering with their heads together, Kurt's hand held by a blond man that Blaine didn't recognize.

Blaine wanted to say he wasn't a little sad and jealous but it would be a lie. Blaine snuggled into Sebastian's hold, looking around the rest of the church instead, and smiling when he saw other people he knew. Most of the them were curious but not malicious and that was a relief at least.

And besides, Blaine liked the feeling of Sebastian's arm around him more than he cared about the man that was holding Kurt's hand.

"Have I mentioned that McKinley is weird?" Blaine asked, a small smile on his lips as Sebastian blinked at him.

Sebastian shook his head, still obviously trying to understand exactly what Blaine had explained to him. Blaine supposed he couldn't blame Sebastian, not considering how even Blaine had been shocked to see Coach Sylvester in a wedding dress in the church. "I'm pretty sure there are drugs being filtered into the vents of that school and everybody is high all the time," Sebastian finally said.

Mike leaned around Tina with a grin. "That's probably true."

"It would explain a lot," Tina agreed with a nod of her head. It was obvious that she wasn't sure how to act around Sebastian but she didn't seem to be bothered by him.

That was good enough for Blaine for now. None of them were bothered by the fact that he and Sebastian didn't stop touching each other for a moment, Sebastian's arm over his chair or shoulders, or holding hands as they walked.

Blaine felt Sebastian tense at his side and he glanced over before following Sebastian's eyesight, seeing Kurt approaching him alone and he sighed quietly.

"Can we talk?" Kurt asked, looking over at Sebastian momentarily and then back at Blaine. There was a fire in Kurt's eyes that Blaine felt like had been lost for a long while. As if Kurt hadn't really cared about what Blaine did until he was jealous. Blaine's annoyance was already peaking.

Blaine glanced at Sebastian but Sebastian shrugged so Blaine nodded. He stood up, following Kurt to the corner of the dance floor and slipping his hands into his pockets.

"You two are dating," Kurt said. It wasn't a question.

Blaine opened his mouth, prepared to deny it, mostly by instinct, but… why would he? He didn't want Kurt back. Not anymore. Not after everything that had happened between them and everything that was between him and Sebastian. "Not officially but yes," Blaine said.

And he'd known he and Kurt were over, knew he'd be happier, but seeing the complete lack of sadness in Kurt's eyes still hurt a little. There was only annoyance as Kurt rolled his eyes up to the ceiling.

"How, Blaine? Alright, fine, we're not together anymore but him? Is that why you transferred? You told me it wasn't Sebastian you cheated with."

Blaine's jaw dropped, annoyance strengthening to full anger that seemed to surprise Kurt. "I didn't cheat with Sebastian!" he hissed, not wanting anybody to overhear the words even though everybody knew what he'd done already anyway. "And he's not why I transferred. I transferred because the Warblers are better friends than the New Directions and care about me."

"Oh, really? Like when they left you crying on the concrete after throwing a slushie at you?" Kurt snapped, a low blow considering.

Blaine took a deep breath, knowing Kurt was hurting right now and he didn't want to fight with him. All he wanted was to go back to Sebastian, hang out with the few people here who liked being around, who had always been nice to him. "Kurt, I respect you and your opinion. But who I date is my choice. And I like Sebastian. He treats me well. That slushie was a long time ago."

Another overly dramatic roll of his eyes as Kurt crossed his arms over his chest. "Barely a year ago."

Blaine reached up to rub his eyes tiredly, sighing as he looked over at the table. Sebastian and Mike were talking again, although Sebastian kept glancing over at him, as if he wanted to rescue him from the conversation. For just a moment, Blaine wished he would. "Look, not that it's any of your business. But Sebastian's changed, okay? He's not the same person as he was before. He messed up. But I can't hate him forever for that."

And Kurt raised his eyebrows, a comprehension that Blaine didn't like crossing his features. "Oh my god, I get it. You're really trying to compare the two of you. As if Sebastian almost blinding you over a high school show choir competition compares to you fucking a stranger because I ignored your phone call."

Blaine flushed because he didn't even know if he'd been doing that. It certainly hadn't been his intention but was it the truth? Or, more importantly, did it matter? The words stung and Blaine knew it had been on purpose. Kurt didn't normally talk so crudely and he knew Kurt was just doing it to prove a point.

"It doesn't really compare. And I know I hurt you, Kurt, and you know that I'm sorry. I can't change that. If I could, I would. I never meant to cheat on you or hurt you," Blaine said, hoping Kurt could see how much he meant the words. No matter if he chose Sebastian or not, he would always regret cheating on Kurt. But what he and Kurt shared was nothing compared to how Sebastian made him feel. "But we're both moving on, aren't we? Can't we just move on?"

Kurt looked away, jaw setting for a moment before he gave Blaine his attention again. And underneath the fire, Blaine could still see the hurt which was why Blaine knew he couldn't be too angry. "I have a new boyfriend."

Blaine nodded, ignoring the clenching in his heart. He thought of what Sebastian had said and knew he was right. It might still hurt but it was going to be okay. "I saw. I'm happy for you," Blaine said and it was mostly the truth.

Lips twisting cynically, Kurt stared at him for a long moment. "I wish I could say the same to you. He's just going to hurt you, Blaine."

"Maybe," Blaine agreed with a shrug. Maybe Sebastian was going to hurt him in the end. Or maybe Blaine would hurt him. But he was willing to take the risk. He had a feeling his relationship with Sebastian would be worth it.

Kurt sighed, realizing Blaine wasn't going to engage him and looking away. "I'll see you later," Kurt said and he didn't wait for a response before he was walking back to where Rachel and his date were waiting.

Blaine watched Kurt's back for a moment before heading back to the table, where he saw a few of the girls had converged on Sebastian. Sebastian looked completely out of his element but he was handling it well. It made Blaine smile, resting his hands on Sebastian's shoulders as he came up behind him, listening to Brittany talking about unicorns and dolphins.

"Excuse me, ladies. You can crowd Sebastian later but I'd really like to dance with my date right now," Blaine said with a smile, feeling Sebastian's hands come up to rest on his own.

"Okay, we'll finish this later. Have fun dancing Mr. and Mr. Warbler," Brittany said.

Sebastian looked at her before standing, taking Blaine's hand and heading to the dance floor with him. "Mr. and Mr. Warbler?" Sebastian asked, amusement in his voice.

Blaine shook his head, knowing there was no way to begin to explain Brittany's brilliance. "That's just Brittany."

"Hmm," Sebastian murmured, arms wrapping around Blaine as they began swaying to the ballad that Mercedes was singing. Blaine curled as close as he could get, closing his eyes. "What did Kurt have to say?"

And while he didn't mind Sebastian knowing, Blaine didn't want to talk about it. "It doesn't matter," he said honestly, looking up at Sebastian so he could see the it was the truth, not just an avoidance. Because Kurt didn't know Sebastian, he never had. Blaine had been betrayed by Sebastian once but he knew he hadn't done it on purpose.

Sebastian was more than making up for it by making him happy. By making him see just how much he'd been missing by letting himself be caught up by Kurt.

"You're not… upset? Or jealous that Kurt obviously just brought a guy to hurt you?"

Blaine let out a breath, not wanting to lie. He'd like to believe that knowing he and Kurt hadn't been good together meant he was just over it. It wasn't that easy yet but he would be over it eventually. "A little," he said honestly. "But… I'm happier just being here with you. I'm happier with you."

Sebastian smiled, leaning in towards Blaine. And, the way he always did, Blaine leaned up the rest of the way, pressing their lips together in a kiss. Blaine didn't let the kiss deepen, knowing that while most of the alumni wouldn't be mean, they wouldn't hesitate to tease. Instead, he rested his cheek against Sebastian's shoulder, arms around Sebastian and a smile on his lips.

"Your friends don't seem to hate me either. Or you for transferring back."

Thoughtfully, Blaine nodded. He knew it was the truth but it felt like it was more for lack of caring than anything. "They're not mad and I think I'm going to ty to be better about keeping in contact with a few of them," Blaine murmured, tilting his head up to kiss Sebastian's jaw. "But I've never been close to them the way I am with the Warblers. I never was at any of their houses for movie nights, besides Kurt's, I guess."

Sebastian didn't look surprised. "The Warblers are your family. You're meant to be at Dalton."

"I am," Blaine agreed, knowing it was the truth. It still gave him a little pang in his chest to think of McKinley, of the friendships he might've eventually formed if he had stayed. But Dalton and the Warblers was where he belonged.

"And just think, if you had stayed at McKinley, you might be stuck with Kurt as your date."

Blaine laughed, shoving Sebastian gently before leaning up to kiss him. "Good to know you haven't completely changed your ways." But still, it was a good point. Without Sebastian's gentle support, he might not have realized just how low Kurt always made him feel.

"Does that surprise you?"

As Rachel and Finn got on stage to sing, Blaine closed his eyes. "Not a bit," he whispered, pressed as close to Sebastian as he could get and it still wasn't enough.

Sebastian smiled, kissing his curls and they swayed slowly to the music.
