When Blaine woke up the next morning he was still on a high from having talked to Kurt the previous night. He kept thinking about how free he had felt when sitting there discussing everything with him - he felt like the world had been lifted off his shoulders.

"You got home late last night," Tina commented as she joined him on the couch. Teen Titans was rolling over the screen, but she only watched him and he could feel that she noticed his glow. She grinned at him as she started stirring her spoon in her tea. She was staring - waiting for Blaine to share his story.

Blaine was nearly exploding. He had already decided to tell her everything, but he had twisted and turned the night over and over again in his head to figure out exactly what he should say. However, he was too excited for words and whenever he tried forming a sentence in his head he ended up giving up.

He finally gave in and shot her a broad grin. She was filled with anticipation and looked like she was ready to shake him for an explanation of his good mood. Images from the night were running around his brain and he was afraid that when he opened his mouth all that would come out would be an endless stream of nonsense.

"Uhm last night when I was at the pub - and Kurt came in," he opened and took a moment to breathe and figure out the direction he wanted to take the story; should he show exactly how excited he was or should he act like it wasn't a big deal? Meanwhile Tina's excitement had turned into a poker face - she didn't know how to react to it and Blaine was confused.

"I told him to go away. But he kept asking me to give him another chance - so in the end, after he had asked me a million times, I agreed. He waited for me to get off work for four hours. Four hours, can you believe it -" Blaine rushed out, determined not to let her killed spirit affect his mood and eager to show her that he had made the right decision in agreeing to meet with him after work.

"That's a lot. But you waited for him for 12 years," she mumbled.

Ugh, why can't she just…

"But that's the thing - he kept writing me too, but he never got anything from me either. Some sort of idiotic malfunction must have happened with our letters. But… it doesn't matter now - we talked for more than two hours last night, and he told me about his life and everything that has happened since he moved away," Blaine beamed eagerly, the words nearly stumbling over each other in their way from his brain to his mouth.

Tina emptied her mug and put it to the table. She dragged a pillow into her arms and looked around their small living room, obviously to turn the events over so she could take a stand. After what felt like an hour, but probably wasn't anymore than a few minutes, she turned her attention back to Blaine.

"Are you gonna see him again?" She asked, and Blaine feared that her tone was trying to tell him something he didn't want to hear.

"I don't know. We exchanged numbers, but I haven't heard from him and I didn't do anything either. It's only 10 hours ago," Blaine said a little defeated. He knew that something was coming, and that was something that was going to pull him out of his happiness.

"You exchanged numbers? Jesus, Blaine… did you at least tell Sebastian now?" She inquired, and he realized that he hadn't even called him as promised. He felt his heart drop and his smile turn stiff.

"No. But -"

"You have to tell him. Seriously. I know that it's not like you're planning to run away with Kurt or anything, but… he was such a big part of your life, he was your entire world - he was a part of making you who you are today." She didn't seem harsh anymore, she seemed worried and cautious; as if she was afraid that she was opening a subject it was in no one's interest having opened.

"I will tell him. I just… wanna see what happens first, alright? Like you said; we're not planning on running away together. He has a girlfriend, and I have a boyfriend - see the mismatch here?" Blaine snapped at her.

He immediately felt bad. He knew that her way was the right way to go around it, but he couldn't help being annoyed that she couldn't just let go and be happy for him for just one second. She always had to be reasonable.

"I never said anything about that. I didn't mean that you -" Tina muttered quietly, clearly shocked by his reaction.

Blaine excused himself and headed for his room where he closed the door a little harder than he should have.

He fell to the bed and dragged out his phone. He had promised Sebastian to call him 12 hours ago, but he hadn't as much as sent him a text, Sebastian on the other hand had sent him a handful of texts that he hadn't even read through.

He opened his inbox and went to his conversations with Sebastian. He suddenly felt guilty and a lump took up his throat.

01.33

Sebastian: "Hey babe. I just wanted to let you know that I miss you xo"

03.05

Sebastian: "You didn't forget that you promised to call did you?"

09.02

Sebastian: "Blaine are you okay? I never heard from you."

11.30

Sebastian: "Alright, I'll call Tina if I don't hear from you today. You're making me worried, babe. I miss you xoxo"

Now it was 12.30 and Blaine saw that Sebastian had called between the last three messages. His head clogged up and he sat up against the headboard.

I must be the worst boyfriend in the world, he thought to himself.

Okay, I'm just gonna tell him about Kurt then. It's no big deal. He'll understand. Besides, there's nothing to understand. We were friends, he moved away, suddenly we bump into each other again - that is all.

"Blaine. Are you okay?" Sebastian said as soon as he picked up. Blaine didn't even get to gather his thoughts.

"Yeah. I'm fine. I'm so sorry I didn't call last night, honey."

Just tell him.

"The place was full all night, so I was exhausted and went straight to bed when I got off work, and I only just checked my phone now."

What? Why would I lie to him? What am I doing? I have no reason to lie - I didn't do anything wrong?

"Aww, that's okay. I just got worried. You usually always reply to my texts so fast, and then you didn't call - and I am just hypersensitive. As long as you're okay," Sebastian crooned into the receiver.

Blaine bumped the back of his head against the headboard. He needed to fix this. Somehow. He needed to. But of course it was only a tiny, innocent lie and as soon as he had time to tell him about Kurt he would explain about that as well and all would be solved. Wouldn't it?

"I uhm… do you wanna have dinner tonight?" Blaine stammered, hoping that he could make it up to him that way. Then he could always explain the situation to him then.

"Sure. I would love that. Wanna come to my place then?" Sebastian suggested and Blaine felt his insides slowly returning to normal. That wasn't so bad.

xXx

When Blaine was standing in front of Sebastian's door he had convinced himself that there was no way out - Tina was right and he should tell Sebastian about Kurt. There wasn't really anything to tell, so it shouldn't be so damn difficult to deal with.

The problem was that every time he had tried deciding how to best form the explanation he had ended up pulling out his phone to text Kurt. He had written a few words before deleting them again and giving up.

If I text him now I will scare him off and I won't get to know him again. He'll think I'm sort of crazy, obsessive stalker or something, he kept telling himself.

It was lame and he felt like a teenage girl, which he shouldn't because there wasn't anything to it. Still he couldn't help images of Kurt and the sound of Kurt's voice saying that he had missed him filling up his brain.

He entered the apartment and hung up his coat. He went to drop his bag in the bedroom before he went out to find Sebastian in the kitchen. The second he entered Sebastian threw his arms around Blaine and kissed him deeply.

"Mhm, you smell nice," he crooned as he broke away. Blaine pulled him back in to one more kiss before he let his hands slide up and down Sebastian's back with a slight moan.

Apparently Sebastian was cooking. Something he loved doing for Blaine and it made Blaine feel awkward. He always wanted to help but Sebastian denied him. He put a glass of wine in his hand and pushed him lightly to sit on a kitchen chair where he sat and felt in the way.

Every now and then he would stop by Blaine so he could lean down to kiss him and assure him that he should just sit and wait. Sebastian would hum or sing silently and Blaine couldn't do anything but lean back and watch his boyfriend go over the top just for him.

As soon as Sebastian had finished the last for their dinner he put on a smirk as he walked across the kitchen floor towards Blaine. He took the glass from his hand and placed it on the table so he could push Blaine's chair out to make it easier for Sebastian to wrap his arms around Blaine's shoulders as he sat down on his lap and placed a deep kiss on his mouth.

"I just wanna be with you tonight. Can we like… shut off our phones and pretend the world don't exist?" Sebastian whispered against Blaine's neck, and he could feel the hair stand all over his body. His hands were running slowly down Blaine's arms, and Blaine couldn't help letting his hands onto the lower of Sebastian's back.

"Alright. We can do that," he agreed and hoped that he didn't sound too nervous about the proposition. A night like that usually ended in sex - something Blaine wasn't sure he was up for when he hadn't been drinking.

Sebastian kept respectful distance throughout the entire evening. They ate, talked and ended up on the couch. As soon as Blaine sat down he folded his arms around Sebastian and dragged him in so he could wrap his legs around him and Sebastian could rest his head on Blaine's chest.

They watched Love Story, and throughout the entire movie Blaine kept telling himself that he should tell Sebastian about Kurt. He remembered what Tina had said, and remembered how he kept telling himself that it didn't mean anything so he might as well get it over with.

"You're quiet tonight. Something's bothering you?" Sebastian said and looked up at Blaine from his spot on his chest. He let his free hand run over Blaine's that was locked with his own and chills ran down Blaine's spine.

"Just tired, I guess -" Blaine mumbled and felt the need to kick himself.

This is the perfect time to tell him. He's practically sending me a handwritten invitation, he could hear his own voice screaming in his mind.

He opened his mouth to grab the bull by the horns, but somehow no sound came out so he hurried to close again before looking too stupid.

Sebastian grinned up at him and took a firm grip around he tendon of his knee before he let his hand gently up Blaine's thigh.

"Yeah, you were working late last night. Let's just go to bed then. We can just cuddle till we fall asleep," he suggested, and Blaine nodded.

They cleaned up and Blaine went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and change into some clothes he could sleep in. He stared at his own reflection, but when he looked himself in the eyes he felt sick. He had no idea why it was so hard for him.

He turned on his phone before going back to the bedroom. He needed it for the alarm so he guessed that it would be okay to turn it back on by now.

Texts ticked in. A joke from Mike that made him chuckle to himself, Tina asking him if he wanted to help her with picking an outfit for a dance audition she had just got confirmation on - and Kurt. There was a text from Kurt. There were several texts from Kurt.

9.47

Kurt: "Hey. I was wondering when you're in the pub again?"

9.48

Kurt: "Not because I wanna be a creep and stalk you or anything. I just wanted to see you again. I really had a good time last night."

9.53

Kurt: "If you want to of course? I was thinking to come by and we could have coffee again or something? If you want to?"

10.05

Kurt: "I'm sorry I'm being a creep. Just ignore it."

Blaine had to clasp his hand to his mouth to not laugh out loud. This was exactly how he had felt since their ways had parted the previous night - and this was so completely full out the Kurt he remembered.

11.28

Blaine: "I work Monday, Tuesday and Friday next week. 5 to 9 every night. Hope to see you there."

Was that discrete enough? I hope so. He hurried to press the send button so he didn't have to worry about it. He collected his stuff into his bag and started to unlock the door when his phone vibrated.

11.33

Kurt: "Tuesday night it is (:"

Blaine grinned broadly. He hadn't expected Kurt to reply at this hour. He had figured that he would already be asleep.

Am I supposed to reply to this? I don't know what to say. I'll just leave at this then.

When Blaine entered the bathroom Sebastian was already in bed. Wearing nothing but his boxers of course. Blaine felt butterflies flutter around his stomach, and suddenly he felt the need to crawl into bed to fall into Sebastian's arms.

He dropped his bag to the floor before he snuck under the sheets and crawled to lie on top of Sebastian between his legs that he curled around Blaine.

Blaine kissed him. Strongly, passionately and could feel his blood boil in his veins. Sebastian's tongue was hard against his and his lips determined. He didn't push away his hands when Sebastian let his fingers sneak under his shirt on his back but simply let himself melt into his arms.

He fell down to lie next to Sebastian but kept their arms locked around each other. Blaine quickly found his eyes and smiled at the way they were shining through the dark of the room.

"That was a nice surprise," Sebastian whispered and his lips ghosted over Blaine's.

"I'm so happy to be with you," Blaine whispered back and felt his cheeks flush a little.

"Me too. You're the best in my world," Sebastian smiled and tightened his grip.

Blaine placed a peck on his lips before he turned around with Sebastian's arm locked around him so he could let their bodies mold into each other.

"G'night, baby," Blaine whispered, somehow feeling that he couldn't break the silence surrounding them.

Sebastian squeezed a little tighter around his waist, and kissed his neck in response.

Blaine didn't know why but he couldn't stop smiling in the dark. He had no idea when it was the last time he had felt so happy.
