It was Monday and lunchtime at McKinley high school. Sebastian swung his leg over his motorcycle, dismounting. His friends from his old private school came out of their respective cars and joined him, looking at the high school.

"Really, Sebastian? Public school? Does your dad hate you?"

"Yes, yes he does, Alex. You know that. But I don't mind. The hottest boy I have ever seen goes here and I plan to make him mine."

"Wasn't today supposed to be your first day?"

Sebastian shrugged. "This is much more important. I'll do this and then attend the Glee club at the end of the day. Besides, this school is so behind Dalton academically that I could miss three months and be able to make up the work easily."

"You sure this guy is worth it? I mean, this is public school, Sebastian. I thought you liked Dalton."

Sebastian smirked. "Alex, believe me, once you see him, you'll understand. And Dalton is no longer an option. The boys there are all preppy freaks anyway. The boy I'm after is something else."

Alex rolled his eyes. "Whatever you say, Sebastian. Are we going to do this thing or what? After this I don't owe you any more favors. None of us do," He waved his hand at the other boys behind him. "And you have to invite us over your house more often. I'm sick of actually waiting for the new video games to come out. Also, we almost got caught pounding on that Kaleb kid, so you owe us."

"Fine then. Let's go." Sebastian led the way. The walked until the came to the courtyard where Blaine had done his introduction song to the New Directions. Now it was Sebastian's turn. He stood at the top of the stairs and looked down, searching. A smile broke out over his face when he spotted Kurt, sitting by himself at one of the tables. He looked as amazing as ever with skin tight pants and a blouse like shirt that showed off his creamy neck and a tantalizing little bit of pale chest. His hair was as perfect as always. He looked bored. 'Well,' Sebastian thought. 'I'll just have to fix that.'

He tapped Alex on the shoulder and pointed Kurt out to him. Alex nodded, also smiling. "I see your point, Sebastian. He is hot. If you don't get him, let me know." Alex chuckled, nudging Sebastian playfully.

"Don't count on it, Alex. You know how awesome I am with the boys." He turned to the others who were looking at him, awaiting orders. "Get in formation. When I give the signal, we start." Sebastian locked his eyes on Kurt again. "Get ready to be serenaded, Princess."

Kurt did not enjoy sitting all by himself outside. It gave all the jocks opportunity to shove him and call him many, many names. He wished Blaine was there. But Blaine was sick today. Kurt had wanted to skip school and play Mother Hen, but Blaine had told him that if he wasn't there, the New Directions would probably kill each other. Speaking of the New Directions, something good had actually happened. Because of Blaine's speech, the Trouble Tones had agreed to work a bit closer with the New Directions, through Santana and Mercedes were still reluctant to officially rejoin the group.

Kurt could be sitting with his friends, but there was a lot of fighting and drama going on, and he would much rather be out here than listening to Rachel go on and on about how Quinn was trying to steal her man just because Quinn had said hi to Finn. Yeah, he was perfectly fine out here.

He hoped that Blaine would calm down a bit. They had seen Sebastian two more times since Wednesday when they had gone to get coffee. He always seemed to be around. And that fact made Blaine the most tightly wound person ever. Sure when they were at Kurt's house, cuddling and kissing, or at school talking in the halls, he had been relaxed. But the second Sebastian showed up Blaine's body went so stiff Kurt swore if a hurricane passed through, it would leave Blaine unaffected. And the look in his eyes…If Blaine's eyes could kill, Sebastian would have died a horrible fiery death.

Those two boys were going to be the death of Kurt. If they couldn't stop fighting he was going to go insane. Blaine had suggested that Kurt get a restraining order, and Kurt had considered it, but he really didn't want to tell his dad about Sebastian. He knew something like that would probably stress Burt out so much that he would have more heart problems, and Kurt didn't want that. He could deal with it. It wasn't like Sebastian was trying to rape him or something. It had been two kisses. He was sure Sebastian would get the hint. That, or Kurt would set Finn on him. And Rachel. And Puck. And Mike. And Santana. And Mercedes. Hell, even Artie could run him over or something. Blaine would be at the head of that group, beating Sebastian into the ground.

Besides, if he called the cops there was no way Burt wouldn't be involved. If Sebastian did anything serious then Kurt wouldn't have a choice, but until then…until then he would just have to power through. If Sebastian did it one more time, then he wouldn't hesitate.

Kurt sighed. Sebastian had ruined something really important. On that stage Kurt had felt so safe with Blaine and he realized just how much he loved the dapper boy. He had been about to suggest they go back to Blaine's house, because for that moment, that one moment, he had felt so ready to finally go all the way with Blaine. He had wanted to give Blaine everything, and he hadn't been scared or worried. But then Artie had interrupted and the mood had disappeared in a flash. He had considered it again but the moment was never right like it had been.

He picked at his salad, for the fifteenth time that day wishing Blaine was here. He wished he had something to distract him. Wait, was that…music? Indeed it was. But they hadn't planned any performances in Glee. His curiosity got the better of him and he looked up at the huge staircase and froze. "Oh Gaga…" he muttered.

Standing at the top of the stairs, flanked by about five other boys, and staring right at him, was Sebastian Smythe. Kurt was frozen to the spot. What the hell was Sebastian doing here? Wait…the music…oh no, Sebastian wasn't going to sing, was he?

Everybody's lookin' for love, oh, oh
Ain't that the reason you're at this club, oh, oh
You ain't gon' find it dancin' wit' him, no hoh
I got a better solution for you, boy, oh, oh

Sebastian was singing. And if the slight change in lyrics was anything to go by, Sebastian was singing to him. A pink tinge spread over Kurt's cheeks and a frown fixed itself to his face. This was really, really humiliating.

Sebastian started walking down the stairs, still looking at Kurt, smirking. The boys behind him were sort of harmonizing and dancing a bit, though a few of their gazes tended to wander towards the Cheerleaders.

Just leave wit' me now
Say the word and we'll go
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes
You'll see a side of love you've never known
I can see it goin' down,goin' dowhown

Wait, were people enjoying this? Normally people hated it when the New Directions preformed, but here the students were, getting into the song. Kurt would admit that Sebastian was a good singer, but really? Sebastian had made it to the bottom of the stairs and was now heading towards Kurt.

In my head, I see you all over me,

Sebastian pointed right at Kurt as he sang this.

In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin', ooooh
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, yeah, in my head, oh, yeah

Kurt grabbed his bag, face now a flaming red, got to his feet and made to walk away, but now Sebastian and his buddies were circling him, still singing.

Some dudes know all the right things to say
When it comes down to it, it's all just game yeah
Instead of talkin', let me demonstrate, yeah
Get down to business and skip foreplay
Ay yeah

Some of the students were looking confused now. Sebastian was clearly singing to Kurt, but that didn't make sense. Why would the hot new kid be singing to the poor little gay boy? Sebastian broke from the circle and came towards Kurt, holding out his hand for Kurt to take. Kurt just glared at him and looked around for an exit. He pushed past one of the boys and walked away. They still followed.

Just leave wit' me now
Say the word and we'll go (And we'll go)
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes (You the ropes)
You'll see a side of love you've never known

Sebastian gave him a wink at that sentence.

I can see it goin' down, we're goin' down
In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin' ooooh
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head,

Kurt couldn't believe Sebastian was singing this song of all songs. He was practically telling the whole school that he wanted to have sex with Kurt, and he didn't seem the least bit ashamed of the fact. Kurt attempted to go inside the school, but there was now a thick wall of students blocking the door, all watching the performance. Sebastian hopped up on one of the tables.

Break it down
Ayooo ayooo ayooo
You singin' to me, baby, in my head right now
Ayooo ayooo ayooo
He'll be screamin' out when it all goes down

Kurt had never been so embarrassed in his life, not even when he had had a crush on Finn Hudson. If Sebastian was hoping to seduce him or something, he was crazy. Sebastian was so lucky Blaine wasn't here, because if he was, Sebastian wouldn't have gotten past the first word. Kurt just crossed his arms and refused to look at Sebastian, who had gotten off the table and was standing a few feet away from him.

Just leave with me now
Say the word and we'll go
I'll be your teacher; I'll show you the ropes
You'll see a side of love you've never known
I can see it goin' down, we're goin' down

In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin' ooooh
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down

Kurt was just so glad that the song was almost over.

In my head, I see you all over me
In my head, you fulfill my fantasy
In my head, you'll be screamin' out
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head, it's goin' down
In my head

They ended with a flourish. There was applause and a few girls ran forward to talk to Sebastian and his friends, batting their eyes flirtatiously. Sebastian pushed past them and went over to Kurt. Kurt had no idea how that cocky smirk was still on his face. "Did you like my song, Princess?"

"I should call the cops on you!" Kurt hissed, poking Sebastian in the chest. "This could be classified as stalking!"

Sebastian laughed and caught Kurt's hand in his own. He ran his thumb over the smooth skin in an affectionate way. "I'm just trying to be nice, Princess. And I want to apologize. I realize that kissing you like that wasn't okay. I promise I won't do it again unless you give me permission. I just want to woo you, Princess, so you'll be my boyfriend."

"So singing me a song about sex in front of half the school makes up for that? Why are you even here? You don't go to this school!"

Sebastian tilted his head to the side, his eye brows raised. "I don't?" he asked, smirking. Chuckling, Sebastian turned and walked away, leaving Kurt very, very confused.

All throughout the day Kurt debated texting Blaine about Sebastian, but finally decided against it. He didn't want Blaine running to the school when he was sick and throwing up. He would tell Blaine when he was taking care of him later today. If he told him now, Blaine would freak out.

The second he sat down in Glee Club Santana and Mercedes confronted him. "Okay Hummel," said Santana, her hand on her hip. "Mind telling us why that fine boy at lunch was singing to you?"

"Do I need to cut him?" asked Mercedes. " 'Cuz I will hunt down that white boy if he's messing with you."

Kurt crossed his legs and placed his hands on his knees. "He's just been bothering me for a while. He's the one who sent me the roses. You don't need to hurt him just yet. Anyway, Blaine will want a chance at him first. Sebastian will learn soon enough that I have absolutely no interest in him."

After a few more assurances, the girls finally took their seats. Mr. Schue then came in, smiling an unusually big smile. He clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention. When the conversations died down he spoke. "Okay everyone, great news! We have a new member! I'd like to introduce Mr. Sebastian Smythe!"

Sebastian walked in through the door, that smirk still on his face. Kurt instantly froze. No…this couldn't be happening. Sebastian went to Dalton! "Sebastian, what the hell are you doing here?" Kurt yelled, getting to his feet.

"Easy, Princess. I'm just joining the New Directions." Sebastian said as if it were the most normal thing in the world. Kurt couldn't believe this. Maybe he should have suspected something when he saw that Sebastian wasn't in his Dalton uniform when he was singing, but he had never expected Sebastian to go here.

"You don't go to this school! You go to Dalton!"

"Dalton and I didn't get along. They kicked me out." Sebastian shrugged. "So now I'm here, and I just thought I would lend my vocal talents to this Glee club."

Kurt was going to call total BS but at that moment Mr. Schue told him to sit down. Mercedes took the seat behind him, placing a hand on his shoulder and joining him in glaring at Sebastian.

"Anyway," Mr. Schue continued. "While a lot of people saw your performance at lunch, Sebastian, I didn't. So if you have a song prepared to give a formal audition, then you have the floor. If not, then we can wait till you do and you may just sit in for this practice."

"Don't worry, I have a song." He pulled out some sheet music and went over to the Piano where Brad sat. He motioned for the man to get up and took his place. Placing the music in front of him, Sebastian stretched his fingers and then placed them on the keys. The New Directions and Trouble Tones leaned forward, anxious to hear what song he would sing this time. A few of them hadn't even heard him sing yet.

Sebastian cleared his throat and began to sing and play.

The best thing 'bout tonight's that we're not fighting

Could it be that we have been this way before?

I know you don't think that I am trying

I know you're wearing thin down to the core

Kurt liked Sebastian singing like this rather than the other song. His voice was gentle, and the song was nice. It just made you want to relax. While Kurt disliked Sebastian, he wasn't going to deny the boy had talent. And he was skilled at the piano as well. His voice would be a good addition to the New Directions. Now if only they could find a way to separate his voice from the rest of him.

But hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Sebastian glanced over at Kurt.

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find

At least he wasn't changing the lyrics anymore. While he admired Sebastian for being open about being gay, that song on the staircase had been too much.

This is not what I intended

I always swore to you I'd never fall apart

You always thought that I was stronger

I may have failed, but I have loved you from the start

Sebastian flashed Kurt a small smile. Kurt looked away.

Oh, but hold your breath

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

It's impossible

Kurt looked around and saw some of the Glee Clubbers looked impressed. No! If they were impressed they would let him join! That would be really, really bad. Sebastian would be here every day.

So breathe in so deep

Breathe me in, I'm yours to keep

And hold on to your words 'cause talk is cheap

And remember me tonight when you're asleep

Because tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

Sebastian caught Kurt's gaze again.

Tonight will be the night

That I will fall for you over again

Don't make me change my mind

Or I won't live to see another day

I swear it's true

Because a girl like you is impossible to find

You're impossible to find

The song ended and there was a big applause. "Very nice, Sebastian!" said Mr. Schue, clapping the boy on the shoulder. "I think it's safe to say that you are definitely welcomed into the Glee club."

"Looks like we got some competition, girls." said Santana. "He's hot and he has a nice voice. The judges will like that. I know I do." Santana winked at Sebastian.

"Mr. Schue, before we induct him into the group, I have a few questions to ask." said Rachel. She stood up so the attention was on her. "You are, after all, from another school, and we do not need another Jesse St James incident. I'm still on the fence about Blaine, no offence Kurt."

"Accuse my boyfriend of being a spy one more time, Rachel, and you will find all your horrendous sweaters depicting any sort of animal will have mysteriously gone up in flames."

Rachel huffed and placed a hand on his puppy dog adorned sweater. She chose to ignore that threat and instead addressed Sebastian. "May I ask my questions?"

"Ask away." Sebastian said coolly.

"What singing experience do you have?"

"I've been in the Glee club at six different private schools. Went to Sectionals, Regionals…even to Nationals once. I've preformed all over the place."

"Whoa," Puck interrupted, eyeing Sebastian suspiciously. "I have a few questions of my own and they're way more important than any Berry will ask."

"Guys," said Mr. Schue. "I don't think we should pester Sebastian with all these questions. It's sort of rude. We need to welcome him, not scare him away."

"It's alright, Mr. Schue." Sebastian stood up. "If Puck and Rachel want to ask questions they are free to. I have nothing to hide."

"Good." Puck said, before Rachel could speak. "Here are my questions. Why the hell were you in six different private schools? How do you know our names? Where'd you get the black eye? And why were you eye fucking Hummel out there in the court yard?"

"Language, Puck." Mr. Schue warned.

Kurt was shocked to see that none of these questions seemed to faze Sebastian. "Let's just say circumstances arised in each of them that prevented me from staying. I know your names because while researching this school I stumbled across a blog written by a certain Jacob Ben Israel. Very detailed blog with pictures and everything, very handy. I got this black eye," he indicated his eye. "Because some people just don't like me. And to your last question, I think Kurt's hot." Sebastian winked at Kurt.

"My boy Kurt is taken." said Mercedes, seeing the anger in Kurt's eyes. "He's got Blaine, so you best back off."

Sebastian threw his hands up in surrender, but Kurt could see in the boy's eyes that his chase was far from over.

Rachel piped up, angry at being interrupted by Puck. "What I want to know is how you managed to preform and not have things thrown at you. You weren't even booed. The student body doesn't usually react so…acceptingly when we sing."

"Good question, Rachel." remarked Mr. Schue.

Sebastian chuckled. "I don't want to offend you guys."

"We'll try our best to not be." said Rachel, leaving no room for debate from the other people in the room.

"Alright." Sebastian walked over to them and stopped. His eyes roved over them. "You see, the problem this group has is that all of you have already been labeled. I am new, so they don't know who I am yet. Besides, I'm hot. That never fails to help."

"What do you mean we've been labeled?" Santana snapped in her usual bitchy tone.

"I show you, shall I? Mr. Schue, may I see the list of everyone in both Glee clubs?" More than a little curious, Mr. Schue handed Sebastian the list. "Okay, let me see." Sebastian scanned down the list. He pointed to one name. "Rory, you're relatively new as well, but you have that accent. That instantly sets you apart. So you are labeled foreign kid automatically." He pointed to another name. "Finn, while you are on the football team, your relationship with Rachel and the fact that you live with Kurt leaves you at the bottom too. Not to mention the fact that your relationships in the past haven't exactly been the best." He plowed on before Finn could say anything. "Santana, bitch. Brittany, childlike. Kurt, hot." Kurt rolled his eyes at this. "But also gay, which labels you. Rachel, annoying and a control freak." He went through nearly the whole Glee club this way, giving them labels, which were all true even if they didn't want to admit it.

"Okay, we get it." Finn said, annoyance on his normally confused face. "Do you have a point?"

"The point is you need me because I'm a fresh face. I have no labels, and I am an expert at not getting them. I won't have any labels stuck to me while I preform and therefore the student body will only be able to judge me by my talent, or our talent as a group."

"Dude's gotta point." said Puck. A few other Glee clubbers nodded in agreement. Kurt couldn't believe this. "But won't they think you're gay after seeing you sing to Hummel at lunch?"

"Do I look gay?" Everybody shook their heads. "Exactly. That's what the students judged by. Kurt looks gay, and I'm sure they labeled him before he ever came out. Until I come to school in knee length sweaters, I'm safe. Though I am gay, so I will act on that." Kurt refused to look at Sebastian. He knew the boy was staring at him.

"Okay, I think that's enough questions. Please, Sebastian, take a seat so we can continue with this practice." Mr. Schue motioned for Sebastian to take a seat. Smiling, Sebastian took a seat right next Kurt, who couldn't find a different seat because the only one left was next to Rachel Berry, and he definitely didn't want to deal with that train wreck right now. So Kurt blatantly ignored Sebastian the whole time. He couldn't believe this. He never would have imagined that Sebastian would go as far as transferring schools. He really had to talk to Blaine about this.

When Glee Club was finally released, Kurt was the first one out. He hurried down the hall, wanting to get to his car and make it to Blaine's house before Sebastian could catch up with him. He pushed open the door and practically ran to his car. He sighed in relief when he stood beside his car. No Sebastian in sight. He paused in front of his mirrors to fix his hair which had become a little messy from the run. Now all he had to do was go to Blaine's house and they could discuss this whole Sebastian thing.

He didn't think much of the loud rumbling noise that was steadily growing louder and louder, as he was much too concerned with a single piece of hair that downright refused to get back into place. How could he go over Blaine's house like this? Perhaps he should go back to his locker and grab his can of hairspray.

The rumbling noise died down and above it Kurt heard a voice. "Hey, Princess."

Kurt spun around to see Sebastian, straddling a black motorcycle. A leather jacket completed the bad boy look. He grinned at Kurt and nodded his head towards the tiny spot of available seat behind him. "Want a ride?"

"No thank you, Sebastian, I don't want to go anywhere near that death machine." Kurt turned back to the mirror and tried yet again to fix his hair. He jumped when he felt Sebastian's fingers take his own and move them away. He brushed his fingers over Kurt's forehead and the hair settled back into place without any more fight.

"All better." Sebastian removed his hands and Kurt could finally breathe again. "I'm not going to force myself on you anymore, Princess, no matter how hot I think you are or how much I want to see what you look like under all those clothes. I'm a patient person and I'm going to wait for you to realize that you belong with me and not dapper boy Blaine Anderson. I just want you to know that I always get who I want. One of these days you will get on that motorcycle with me."

Kurt turned around and gave Sebastian a small shove. He opened his car door and climbed inside. "I wouldn't get on that motorcycle even if my car broke down." He slammed the door in Sebastian's face and started it up, so happy to hear that the car was working fine and he hadn't just jinxed himself.

"You can't hide your feelings towards me forever, Princess. One day you will be mine." Sebastian gave him a smirk and then disappeared from view. Kurt shook his head firmly and pulled out of his parking space. This day was going horribly. At least he was going to see Blaine. Though Blaine would probably spend the whole time plotting to murder Sebastian. Kurt was seriously not looking forward to breaking the news to Blaine.

His phone vibrated and Kurt waited till the red light to check his phone. There was a number Kurt didn't know, but it wasn't Sebastian's. The text message said this.

I know about Sebastian, Kurt. We need to talk. –B
