Thad and Sebastian Sitting in a Tree...

January hit, which signaled the end of winter break, and while no one was looking forward to going back to school, Finn was by far the most upset. When Kurt and Blaine were packed up and ready to head back to Dalton, Finn had actually taken Zoe and locked them in his room. Apparently, he was making good on his previous threat that Zoe was staying put in Lima so that he didn't miss anything.

Kurt, however, disagreed.

Since banging on the door didn't work, nor did they have a key for the lock, Kurt did the next best thing. He got a screwdriver and proceeded to take the lock off the door himself. Finn, in his brief moment of glory, had not thought to barricade the door. He also didn't think his plan through, as he didn't have any food or diapers in the bedroom. It only took a few moments before he had to face a very angry Kurt.

"Finnegan Christopher Hudson, are you out of your damn mind?!" Kurt didn't acknowledge the snorts of laughter he heard coming from Blaine, Burt, and Carole in the hallway. "You never take a baby away from their parents, just so you can lock yourselves in a room! You were fine last night after we set up Skype dates for you guys to see her. You're acting like we're moving somewhere far, far away and you're never going to see us again. What do you have to say for yourself?"

Finn was afraid to answer the question. He'd cringed when Kurt started with his full name - his mother had been the only one to ever do that - and it'd been a very long time since she'd had to. At the moment, Kurt was standing in front of him with one foot tapping the floor and his arms crossed in front of him, one hand still holding the screwdriver. Finn bit his lip and decided to be honest.

"I don't want you guys to leave yet."

Kurt dropped his arms and sighed, somehow knowing that was the crux of the problem. Spending the last two weeks home had been awesome - he'd never deny that - but there was no way he could skip his last semester of high school. Did he miss being home every day? Of course. But that was the sacrifice he and his family had made in order to keep him safe.

"Finn, I don't want us to leave either, but we don't have a choice. We're running late as it is and we have a curfew to make - the penalty of which is not being allowed off campus for two weeks. If there were some way for us to see you guys more often, don't you think we'd be doing that already? We're still going to have weekends, and if there are half-days, you know we'll make plans to meet up."

"But it's not the same, Kurt." Finn looked so sad and pathetic, that it was making Kurt feel bad. In retrospect, he should've known that this was going to happen. Finn had been acting strange that last couple of days - keeping Zoe close by, holding her as long as possible - so it was no wonder that he was upset.

Blaine walked into the room then, knowing that they really needed to head out, but didn't want to hurt Finn's feelings any more than they were.

"Finn, you know you can come visit us too, right? If there's a weekend when we can't leave school, there's no reason you can't come to us." Finn seemed to perk up at that. "Most of the time when we can't come it's because of rehearsal or projects. You're more than welcome to hang out at Dalton...even if that's just an excuse for you to play with Zoe."

"Really?"

"Of course," said Kurt. "Usually, Zoe hangs out with whoever is free at the time. Warbler rehearsal is tough because most of the time, she's stuck in her playpen, and she can only tolerate that for so long before she gets cranky. She'd be much happier playing with you. As long as you're not reporting anything back to Rachel, I don't see the guys having a problem with you tagging along."

"Just bring the air mattress with you; otherwise, you're sleeping on the floor," said Blaine.

Finn thought it through and nodded. He hugged Zoe once more before handing her back to Kurt. "You'll let us know when she does more cool tricks, right?"

"Definitely," Kurt promised. "We'll let you know when we get to school, alright? If we're all free this weekend, you can come and spend it with us. Deal?"

"Deal." Burt and Carole just watched the boys handle it from the doorway, happy that they were able to resolve this with little bloodshed. Burt looked at the clock and knew that if they didn't leave now, they'd be in trouble.

"Alright, everyone good now? Then get in the car and go. I'll call Dalton and let them know you may be a few minutes late...can't have Finn come to school if you boys are grounded." Kurt and Blaine hugged them goodbye and rushed out of the house, Burt following them, leaving Carole and Finn in the bedroom.

"Wait - that part was true? I thought they were just making that up. I didn't think a school could ground you."

Carole shook her head at her son. "Finn, why would they make that up? And yes, since Dalton is a boarding school, the students have curfews that when not adhered to, result in penalties. That's why sometimes they have to rush back like a bat out of hell if they're late or the weather's bad. Haven't you ever wondered why Burt or I have called Dalton as soon as they've left later than they wanted to?"

"I never really paid attention...are they gonna get back in time?"

"Well, they would've been better off leaving forty-five minutes ago," she said with a stern look on her face. Finn ducked his head as he blushed in embarrassment. "But for now, why don't we get your lock back on the door, okay?"

Kurt's car may have been the last car to arrive back in the Dalton parking lot, but at least they weren't the last ones outside. Thankfully, there hadn't been much traffic, but it had started to snow again. Zoe seemed to like the snow, but did not like the cold, and the temperature had dropped since leaving Lima. The moment she was taken out of the car, she was crying. Kurt had her bundled up well and even wrapped her up in her blanket a little tighter. He held her close to his chest, which calmed her down, but prohibited him from being able to grab anything else out of the car.

"Need a hand or two?" Kurt turned around to see Thad and Sebastian standing behind them.

"Hey guys, and yes, if you wouldn't mind. Have you been here long?"

"Got back an hour or so ago," said Thad. "We brought out stuff in before the snow started, so we've been helping everyone else get inside in the meantime."

"Yeah," said Sebastian, "we were bored."

Kurt laughed as he tried to grab Zoe's bag, only to have her protest him moving. Sebastian took the bag from Kurt, leaving him to handle Zoe. "She not a fan of the cold?"

"Not really, though she likes the snow," said Kurt. "She wasn't crying this much when we left Lima, but she's been fussy since this morning."

"I've got your bag and hers, so why don't we go inside?"

Kurt looked back to Blaine, who waved him off. "We'll be right behind you, Kurt."

Thad watched them walk away, only to see Blaine smirking at him as he closed the door. "What's with that look, Anderson?"

"So did you ask him yet?" asked Blaine. "I know that look; I had the same look before me and Kurt started going out. Hell, I'm told I still have that look."

Thad blushed in response. "I don't have a look...shut up."

Blaine laughed, "Oh no - I'm not passing this up. I know you went on a date or two."

"Three," Thad murmured.

"So are you two official yet?"

"...not exactly."

"Well, what are you waiting for? He's head over heels in love with you. Take it from me - don't waste valuable time by being oblivious. You guys are perfect for each other."

"You think so?" Thad asked, hopeful.

"Totally. I'd bet you anything that Kurt is grilling Seb for details as we speak...and don't think that means you're in the clear."

"Spill."

"What?"

"Don't what me," said Kurt as they walked up the stairs. "You know exactly what I'm talking about. How was your break? What did you do with Thad?" Sebastian blushed. "HA! I knew it! You two went out! Where'd you go?"

"Three times." Sebastian blushed harder. "We went out three times, and he came over for dinner a couple times."

"You definitely in love with him now?"

"...maybe..." Kurt smiled, as he adjusted his hold on the slowly calming Zoe.

"Well don't make me drag it out of you, Seb...because you know I will."

Sebastian laughed, "Oh I know you will. It was only a coffee date...and a movie night...and dinner..." He got a glint in his eye as he recalled how those nights went. "He was a gentleman no matter what we did and we had a great time just hanging out together. Did you know that he only lives like fifteen minutes from my house? We took turns going over each other's houses and had movie marathons and played in the snow...it was just great." He finished off with a dreamy sigh.

"Oh yeah - you've fallen for him big time."

"That's not even the best part." Kurt tilted his head, curious. "He may have kissed me at midnight on New Year's."

"Aww...I'm so happy for you guys! So are you official now or what?"

"Well, he hasn't really asked me yet, but we haven't exactly talked about it either. Is that bad?"

"Of course not; there's no need to rush a relationship. As long as you're happy, that's good enough for me."

"Thanks Kurt, that means a lot."

"Now - details."

"I'm sorry I was an idiot this morning. I was just in the early stages of Zoe withdrawal or something."

Finn was busy asking for forgiveness over the phone. Kurt had let them know via text when they got back to Dalton, but apparently Finn was hoping for a Skype call. As it turned out, Kurt had had to call Finn anyway, as he'd found one of his notebooks in with Kurt's stuff, and wanted to make sure it wasn't something he needed the next day.

"Finn, while that may be true, I expected better from you. I know that it's hard not seeing her as often as you'd like to, but it can't be helped. Unless you can magically move Dalton closer to Lima, you're going to have to suffer the distance like the rest of us."

Finn sighed. "I get that, Kurt, but it still sucks. You guys didn't get in trouble did you?"

"We were one of the last ones here, but we made it back in time for check-in. I'm just glad Dad called ahead for us - you have no idea how much that helps."

"Mom told me about it when you left. I knew you had to be back by a certain time, but I didn't realize that it was that much of a big deal. I forget how much better Dalton is from McKinley sometimes. Half of the time our teachers don't even ask for late passes."

"It's alright, Finn. Just next time - don't try kidnapping my daughter unless you've planned it out first, okay?"

"...seriously?"

"Goodbye Finn." Kurt hung up the phone and groaned. Blaine looked on in amusement.

"You okay, Kurt?"

"Finn just amazes me sometimes, that's all. Is Zoe asleep yet?"

"No. She's been really cranky since this morning," he said as he tried to feed her. "I don't get it. She was fine last night. You think she's just homesick? That was the longest she'd been back home."

Kurt had another thought. "It's also the longest she's been off her usual routine - all three of us, really. Our week is usually school all day, Warblers meetings in the afternoon, tutoring and studying at night, with trips to Lima most weekends. We haven't had that for two weeks, and babies are used to schedules."

"You make a fair point," Blaine conceded.

"And she might be getting an ear infection. I saw her rubbing at her left ear a few times since she woke up. Does she have a temperature?"

Blaine felt her forehead and cheek, but if she had one it was slight. "She's warm, but no more than usual. Is the first aid kit nearby? The thermometer should be in there."

Kurt went into the bathroom and came back with the thermometer and a warm washcloth. Zoe did have a slight temperature, but after they got her comfortable with the warm compress behind her ear, she finally started to settle down. Both Kurt and Blaine sighed in relief.

"If she's still hurting in the morning, I'll check with Nurse Cara. Mom restocked the kit while we were home with a few additions - one of which looks like ear drops of some sort."

Blaine shuddered. "I hate ear drops, or any kind of drops for that matter, especially when my father had to give them to me. He never tried to make it feel a little less painful, and it took back-to-back infections when I was younger to find out that whatever he gave me was stuff you weren't supposed to use on four-year-olds. Cooper was the only one that could give me drops without me having a fit."

"Well let's not get ahead of ourselves," Kurt said, knowing that his parents were a sore spot. "Most of the time, it's easier to not resort to medicine and give your body a chance to get rid of it first. She may not even have a full out infection; it might just be her reacting to the cold weather."

"She was fine when we played in the snow," Blaine retorted.

"Until her earmuffs and hat fell off. Why do you think I love scarves so much? It's the only way I can stand the cold."

Like Kurt had predicted, Zoe seemed back to her old self by the following day. It was hard to tell who missed who more: Zoe or the Warblers. By lunchtime, no one could tell that she'd been a fussy mess the night before. Kurt did bring her to Nurse Cara - just as a precaution - but she agreed that Kurt and Blaine had it handled rather well, and for now, there were no signs of infection.

The Warblers took turns talking about what they did during break and what everyone got for Christmas. A few of them had traveled for the holiday and told of their tales of traffic jams and the less than cheerful drivers they came across. Some of them started discussing cheats and tricks they'd discovered playing their new games, while others complained about the College Bowl games.

Jeff and Kurt were at one end of the table talking with Sebastian, while he fed Zoe. While they weren't an official couple yet, that didn't stop Jeff from asking how Sebastian's break went. Kurt had kept quiet, considering it was Sebastian's news to share, so Kurt was laughing at how flustered the blond was getting, as Sebastian was being mean and not saying much.

"Come on, Seb!" Jeff whined, "Kurt won't tell me anything, and with the way you're staring at Thad - that just screams 'I know something you don't know'."

"Well then I'm doing something right because I do know something you don't know," Sebastian said with a smirk. Jeff banged his head against the table, to Kurt's amusement.

Now while this may have escaped the notice of most of the table, Blaine noticed the trio at the other end before Nick and Thad. He wondered for a moment what was going on, but seeing the smirk on Sebastian's face and Kurt's pathetic attempt to contain his laughter, he figured out why Jeff was hurting himself. Blaine nudged Nick and pointed to the other end of the table.

"You might wanna check on your boyfriend before he hurts himself."

"What the - why is he banging his head against the table?" Nick pushed himself up, intending to save Jeff before he really hurt himself. Blaine pushed him back into his seat.

"He'll be fine; Kurt won't let him do that for long. Besides - he probably brought him on himself."

"What do you mean?" Nick asked.

"He's probably trying to get details about how Seb's break went," said Thad, "and he is more than likely withholding information."

"Okay - I'm confused. What happened over break?"

"Well," Blaine started, as Thad blushed, "Thad over here has finally realized that he's in love with Sebastian. They spent most of break together."

"Seriously?! Thad, that's awesome! Are you two going steady then, or what?" asked Nick.

"I'd like us to be...we haven't exactly had a chance to talk about it yet."

"Well, we're happy for you, but if you'll excuse me, I'm going to retrieve my boyfriend before he pulls his hair out. I'll see you guys in a bit." Nick stood up and quickly made his way towards Jeff, dragging him out of the room. Thad and Blaine made eye contact with Sebastian and Kurt, the four of them sharing a look as they heard Jeff whine to Nick.

"So Thad, are you just gonna ask him or did you have something special in mind?" asked Blaine, as they walked out of the cafeteria. He was carrying Zoe and on his way to the Warblers' room; Thad was on his way to the library.

Thad bit his lip in thought. "I don't want to make him uncomfortable, but do you think it'd be too much if I serenaded him during rehearsal?"

"Are we talking about another date or asking to be his boyfriend?"

"I wanna be able to say 'Sebastian Smyth is my boyfriend'...though, another date would be an awesome bonus."

Blaine smiled at Thad. "I don't see that being a problem. You know what you're going to sing?"

"I have an idea - I'll run it by you later."

"You better."

Thad had not one, but two, song ideas in mind. He needed some assistance putting them together, however, and decided on asking for some outside help. He knew that he could have gone to any of the Warblers for help, but he wanted to surprise everyone at the same time. Since they were friends with the New Directions - who also had plenty of experience with mash-ups - who better to talk to than one of them?

After knowing each other for a year, it was hard to keep the Warblers and the New Directions separate from the other's conversations. If someone was being a little more self-centered than usual, they were told to 'stop having a Rachel day'. Whenever a bad day happened and one became a 'super bitch', to put it mildly, they were referred to as Santana's alter ego 'Auntie Snix'. If a couple was being too lovey-dovey that were told to tone it down and 'quit trying to one up Klaine/Niff/Tike', as they were the cutest and longest-lasting couples. And while they reserved the teasing for when it was needed, different members had found friends on the opposing team.

Case in point: Thad and Artie.

Surprisingly, they both had similar tastes in music, though they'd agreed that Artie had a better knack at - and the attitude for - rapping. There were two songs that Thad had in mind to put together that needed some tweaking, and a little practice in, before he would even consider singing it in front of the group. Thad didn't have second thoughts about it until he heard silence on the other end of the phone. Thinking Artie had put him on mute or was just laughing at his expense, Thad had hung up feeling like a failure.

As it turned out, Artie's lack of response on the phone wasn't because he was laughing at him. He'd had a sudden stroke of genius and didn't want to lose his train of thought, so he zoned out for a minute. Not fifteen minutes later, Thad got a text from Artie, telling him to check his email. There, he found an outline of the two songs he wanted...with a few modifications.

Artie told him he was on his own when he went to perform it, because while he'd love to help out, he wouldn't be able to come to Dalton. Then, he suggested asking Blaine for assistance, as he knew from hearing the girls gossip, that he sang to Kurt and Zoe all the time, so who better to ask for help? Artie did say, however, that he expected to hear it before it was performed. A couple of days later, Thad took him up on his offer and was given Artie's stamp of approval.

Since Blaine already knew, and Kurt suspected he was up to something, David was the only one that Thad had to talk to about his little performance. He was met with a thumbs up from the rest of the council, and various signs of encouragement from the rest of the group, who had promised to keep it quiet from Sebastian. They had even offered to be his backup while he sang, which gave him an extra boost of confidence, because if any of them thought this was a bad idea, they wouldn't have even offered.

Now, all that was left to do was to sing it to Sebastian, and if all went well, he'd have a boyfriend and a date for Saturday.

Sebastian could tell something was up, but the Warblers weren't talking, which was starting to make him panic a bit.

Thad had been acting odd and had been avoiding him; Blaine and David knew what was going on, but weren't saying anything; the underclassmen, he'd caught singing under their breath; the rest of the seniors were keeping their distance. And if Jeff was anything to go by, it was something intended for him, as Nick had to keep dragging him away whenever he saw Sebastian; the blonde was bouncier than usual.

The only one that was still talking to him as if nothing was going on was Kurt. Sebastian wasn't sure if that meant Kurt knew what was going on, or if his poker face was just that good, but he'd take what he could get. Kurt knew that Thad was singing to Sebastian, but Blaine never told him that he was going to be singing as well; Kurt thought his boyfriend was just helping him. He didn't even know what song it was.

When Thad had asked for his help, all Blaine had told Kurt was that he was helping him and they'd only need a couple of days, so it was Kurt's job to keep Sebastian busy. They were going to leave it to the juniors, but after two slip-ups, they were relieved of their duties. Since neither of them knew entirely what was going on, Kurt and Sebastian passed the time doing homework and playing with Zoe.

A few days later during lunch, Blaine asked Kurt if he wouldn't mind being in charge of Sebastian after school. The boy in question was starting to become paranoid and wasn't in the cafeteria with them. Kurt was glad to hear that Thad was finally doing something today because Sebastian was starting to doubt their tentative relationship, and at the moment, wasn't talking much to anyone but Kurt.

Kurt's last class of the day wasn't that far from Sebastian's, so as soon as the bell rang, Kurt made sure to be at the door when Sebastian walked out, grabbing him before he could run off. Though it was in no way threatening, Sebastian's anxiety was at its peak, and he almost punched Kurt before he realized it was him. Kurt barely got him into an empty classroom before Sebastian started to have a full blown panic attack.

"Seb, it's okay, look at me." Kurt held Sebastian's face in his hands and was trying to get him to focus on him. "Take a deep breath and open your eyes."

Sebastian tried listening, but he couldn't remember the last time he was this wound up. He must have been paying some attention because he felt the ache in his chest start to go away. He felt Kurt rubbing little circles on his cheeks, and he was surprised to see the amount of concern on Kurt's face.

"Kurt? What?"

"I was waiting for you to leave the classroom. If I had realized how jumpy you were, I would have never gotten your attention like that. I'm sorry I scared you."

"I almost hit you," Sebastian whispered. "I could've really hurt you."

"And you would have been justified in doing so," Kurt said. "Can I give you a hug now?" Sebastian nodded and held onto Kurt tightly for a few minutes, while Kurt waited for him to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Kurt. Everyone's been weird lately but you and I don't know why, and Thad won't spend time with me, and I don't understand -"

"Don't work yourself up again. Just breathe for a few minutes, ok? I'm going to let you in on a secret, but not the whole secret. Do you want to know why everyone has been acting strange?" Kurt felt Sebastian nod into his shoulder. "Thad has been working on a surprise for you, but I won't tell you what it is. He asked Blaine for help, and the rest of the Warblers know about it too. They're all excited about it and have been having a hard time keeping it from you. They weren't ignoring you on purpose; they're just horrible secret-keepers."

Kurt felt they were getting somewhere, when he heard Sebastian let out a little chuckle. "So they're not plotting something horrible? It's a nice surprise?"

"The nicest, and you can guarantee that I'll be speaking to the others on what is acceptable behavior for keeping a surprise, a surprise. I know that they didn't mean anything by it; they're just amateurs."

Sebastian laughed. "Well, they do need a lesson in subtlety. For a while, I thought I was going to get whacked or something."

"We're not the mob, Seb," Kurt said, as he rolled his eyes. "Now are you ready to see what Thad has for you? My cell is buzzing, which means Blaine is looking for me, and I can only deal with one of us breaking down at a time. You can even have first dibs on Zoe today."

Sebastian took one last deep breath before nodding in agreement. "I'm ready if you are. Let's go."

The Warblers were waiting for their two missing members, but started to worry when twenty minutes after the bell rang, they were nowhere to be found. No one was worse than Thad, though Blaine and Jeff were close behind. Both had tried calling and texting Kurt, but their attempts went unanswered. They were seriously considering calling the whole thing off, when the doors flew open to a very annoyed Kurt.

"Kurt! Where have you -" Blaine was got off with a wave.

"I'll deal with you lot in a minute," Kurt said as he took Zoe from Nick. "Don't even think about moving." As quickly as he came in, he left, before retuning, all in the span of a minute. Kurt closed the door behind him and just stared at the group in front of him. Blaine tried again to ask what was going on, but one look from Kurt shut him down.

"Sebastian is outside, but he needs a minute. You people need to learn how to act normal when you play the 'I know something you don't know game', especially with someone that has anxiety issues!" Kurt looked around the room, and unsurprisingly, the only ones that seemed to be catching on were Blaine and Jeff.

"Oh crap."

"'Oh crap' is right. I went to pick Sebastian up to bring him here, but when I surprised him, he almost hit me. He was shaky and jumpy and had a minor breakdown before I was able to get him here. When dealing with someone like Seb, you have to be aware of what you're doing. A surprise is ruined when the one it's intended for is too scared to receive it."

Thad hadn't taken that into account when he first thought about doing this. Now he just hoped Sebastian would still talk to him. "Is he alright?"

Kurt softened a bit before answering. "He's better now that he's calmed down. I hope whatever it is you've been working on is worth it because Seb is in desperate need of you and Thad time."

"It will be." Kurt stared at him for a minute before leaving the room to retrieve Sebastian from the hallway. When they entered the room, Thad could still see a slight look of hesitation in Sebastian's eyes. He briefly thought about waiting for another day to do this, but then he decided that they'd all waited long enough.

As Thad worked up the courage to get the show on the road, Kurt gently took Zoe from Sebastian and found a couple of open seats for them, which just so happened to be front and center. Neither thought of it as odd, but judging by the looks on some faces, they were right where they were supposed to be. Blaine finally got up and dragged Thad so that, he too, was front and center and facing the group.

Thad cleared his throat before finally speaking. "Hey guys. Now I know it's been an interesting week, and while I would like to thank you all for not spilling the beans, I want to apologize to Sebastian. It wasn't our intention to make you feel like this, but please believe me, when I say it's for a good reason. I know you're all wondering exactly what I'll be doing today, as the only people who know are Blaine and Artie."

"Wait - what?" asked Kurt. Blaine shushed him and whispered to him to just wait.

"I had two songs in mind that I wanted to sing to a certain someone, but couldn't decide, so I did a mash-up. I'm sure you'll be able to tell what the songs are, and before you ask, yes some of the lyrics have been altered to fit the occasion. So if Blaine could come up here - this is dedicated to Sebastian."

Sebastian's jaw dropped as he watched Thad and Blaine take their blazers off and position themselves in front of them. There was an iPod dock sitting on the table, and with the push of a button, music started playing. Immediately, part of the group recognized the song, while the rest tried to deny knowing what it was. Thad started singing, making sure he was looking straight at Sebastian.

I feel like I've been wanting you all my life

You don't understand

I'm so glad we're at the same place

At the same time

I spotted you dancin'

You made all the boys stare

Those lips and your green eyes

And the sexy hair

Sebastian had noticed that Thad said 'green eyes' and he felt himself swoon a bit. The only thought he had at the time: He knows my eye color.

I should shake my thang

Make the world want you

Tell your boys you'll be back

I wanna see what you can do

Blaine joined in on the next line, winking at Kurt and effectively making him blush.

What would it take for you to just leave with me?

Not tryin to sound conceited but

You and me were meant to be (yeah)

You're a sexy boy, I'm a nice guy

Let's turn this dance floor into our own little nasty world!

And not to be outdone, the rest of the Warblers helped Blaine, alternating lines and leaving Thad to sing by himself.

If I was your boyfriend

Sometimes a guy just needs one

Keep you on my arm boy

To love him and to hold

I can be a gentleman

And when a boy is with one

If I was your boyfriend

Then he's in control!

If I was your boyfriend

This next part was interesting because some of the younger Warblers had never heard Thad rap, and were, for lack of a better word, astonished that he could pull it off as well as he did.

Tell me what you like yeah tell me what you don't

I could be your Buzz Lightyear fly across the globe

I don't never wanna fight yeah, you already know

Imma a make you shine bright like you're lying in the snow burr!

Thad walked up to Sebastian and knelt in front of him, holding onto his hands. He wanted to make sure that he got his point across.

Boyfriend, boyfriend, you could be my boyfriend

You could be my boyfriend until the world ends

Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and

Voice goin crazy on this hook like a whirl wind

Oh my god, Sebastian said to himself, he's totally asking me to be his boyfriend!? Thad stood up and made his way back to the front. Sebastian sent Kurt a look that was half shock, half excitement. Kurt just sent him a huge smile back as a response.

If I was your boyfriend

Sometimes a guy just needs one

Keep you on my arm boy

To love him and to hold

I can be a gentleman

And when a boy is with one

If I was your boyfriend

Then he's in control!

If I was your boyfriend

Thad separated from Blaine again and refocused his attention on Sebastian, who no longer looked panicked, and was hoping the song would end soon. The light blush on his face deepened, especially as he heard Thad sing the next part.

So give me a chance, 'cause you're all I need boy

Spend a week wit your boy I'll be calling you my boyfriend

If I was your man

I'd never leave you Seb

I just want to love you, and treat you right

The Warblers picked up the chorus for the last time, knowing that by the end of the song, they would have another couple to nag on in their midst.

If he was your boyfriend

Sometimes a guy just needs one

Keep him on your arm boy

To love him and to hold

He can be a gentleman

And when a boy is with one

If he was your boyfriend

Then he's in control!

If he was your boyfriend

Can't live with 'em!

Can't live without 'em!

The boys erupted into cheers and even Zoe was clapping along. The only one Thad had eyes on was Sebastian. He took a couple of breaths as he walked in front of his crush, and for the second time, knelt in front of him.

"So, if you haven't guessed yet, I was wondering if you'd like to be my boyfriend -"

Whatever speech Thad had in mind was disregarded as Sebastian threw his arms around him and kissed him speechless.

"YES! I don't care if you had a cute speech to go with that or what; I just want you." When he started to tear up, Thad panicked and quickly asked what was wrong.

"No one has ever sang to me, or wanted me like that. But Bieber and Britney?" he asked with a smirk.

"It kinda just happened that way. Can I have to ask something else?"

"Anything."

"You free on Saturday?"

Eventually, the boys gave up trying to rehearse. They ended up spending the time watching Zoe crawl on the floor and debating on what Thad and Sebastian's couple name needed to be, to the amusement of Kurt, Blaine, Jeff, and Nick. Kurt did have one announcement to make, something that he hadn't even told Blaine about yet.

"I have one quick announcement. I was talking to Kim and some of the Silvertones over the break and we came up with an interesting idea for both of our schools to do. Now as you all know, Dalton and Crawford have functions for students at both schools to mingle. While we were talking, we came up with something a little different than a dance or recital.

"We would like to hold a talent show. This way, anyone and everyone that wants to show off can do so, as long as it's not something you can get suspended, expelled, or arrested for - Headmaster Dippet's words, not mine. He's already approved it and cleared it with their headmistress, so all that we need to do is set up a panel with students from both schools to discuss details: when and where to do it; how many acts to have; any limits to what can be done; stuff like that.

"Anyone interested in the logistics - there will be a meeting at 3:30 tomorrow right here. We'll be having a conference call with Crawford at the same time, so that everyone can stay in the loop and get things moving. If you don't want to perform, you can offer to be an MC during the show. There will be faculty volunteering to be the judges. Any other questions can be answered at the meeting."

"Can we perform more than one act?"

"Can we do a solo and a group thing?"

"I wanna do something and MC."

"Are pets allowed?"

"We should play on kazoos!"

"Are you kidding me? That's not a talent!"

"Oh, just because you can't play it."

"You can't play a kazoo?"

Kurt ignored them and walked out with Zoe. "I don't get boys sometimes, Zoe. Half of the time, it goes in one ear and right out the other...oh well. I guess that means we get first dibs on dinner. I wonder how long it'll take before they realize it's pizza night."
