Be warned there is some pretty harsh language toward the end of this chapter. So without further adieu......
Sebastian is kind of a pain in the ass. Blaine can't seem to get him to leave him alone. Well, its not like he's actually trying that hard. He doesn't mind Sebastian's attention. It's nice being asked what he thinks about what to do when writing the harmonies to Goodnight Saigon for a performance at a veterans home. It was nice to be needed for something other than company. Not that he wasn't loving high school with Kurt, because he was. He really, really was. It was just the rest of New Directions that were pissing him off.
Finn was being a prick and half. Blaine couldn't utter a single syllable without Finn jumping down his throat. It made no sense. When he was at Dalton Finn was so cool to him. He even called Blaine bro a couple times. Which, okay, not that big a deal. But it kind of was.
And Rachel Berry is a really difficult person. Blaine is convinced the only reason she's nice to him is that her voice is complimented by his. Blaine's not cocky, but he knows, as does everyone else in glee club, that he is far and away one of the best overall male performers in the group. Rachel however, is very cocky. She loves rubbing it in other people's faces how much better she is. And yes she's Kurt's best girl friend, but Blaine doesn't always like the way she treats Kurt. Kurt is no one's step stool, and Rachel Berry would do well to remember that.
MIke, Tina, Mercedes, Artie, Britney, Puck. They are all okay and with a little time Blaine is sure he will learn to love them because Kurt Loves them. (And nobody can question Kurt's impeccable taste). But sometimes he feels like a little kid hiding behind Kurt's legs in a room full of strangers. He missed being valued and sought out as a free thinking adult with opinions.
And that's why he answered when Sebastian called him.
"Hi Sebastian. How are you today?" Blaine asked chipperly.
"Always so polite. Don't you ever want to do the wrong thing Blaine? Who knows...you might like it?" Sebastian asked tone dripping with uninvited innuendo
Ew. Sebastian is kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.
"Are you gonna pull that every time we talk? Because if so I'm gonna have to tell Kurt and he'll probably run you over with his car then call his crazy friend Santana who will cut you up and dump you in a river."
"Puhlease. I'm not afraid of the little Prince and an old hippie guitar player."
"Is there something you wanted or did you just call to push my buttons and- I think vaguely insult my boyfriend? Because if that's it I'm going to be late for a coffee date."
"Never mind have fun on your coffee date, it can wait."
"Um okay. See you round."
"See you soon Blaine."
Blaine hung up and saw that he was gettting dangerously close to being late for his coffee date with Kurt, so he pocketed his phone and grabbed his keys and left for the Lima Bean.
-------------
When he walked into the Lima Bean, Kurt was already sitting at their usual table with two cups of coffee. He had a notebook in front of him and was writing feverishly. The tips of his nose and ears were still a little pink from the fall chill, which turned the tips of Blaine's ears pink at the thought of how soft his boyfriends skin was and how nice his ears smelled from contact with his shampoo.
"Hi you." Blaine said softly into Kurt's ear, not missing a chance to inhale.
Jumping slightly then smiling, Kurt brushed the back of his hand against Blaine's leg as he passed him making his way to his seat. The two boys smiled warmly at each other for a moment before taking a sip of coffee.
"Whatcha working on?"
"Nothing, just stuff. I'll show when it's done."
"I'm intrigued. Looking forward to it."
They continued to chat for a good 40 minutes about Kurt's upcoming presidential election and the possibility of completing a sharply tailored Kennedy-esque suit before the speeches were to be given. Blaine was about to suggest asking Tina for help when Sebastian suddenly appeared behind Kurt with a smirk that made Blaine's skin crawl.
"Well if it isn't my favorite former Warbler, and Kurt. Fancy meeting you two here."
"Sebastian." Kurt drawled as he took another swig of coffee which for some reason now tasted like ash. Blaine noted his boyfriend visibly biting his tongue as Sebastian prattled on about how hilarious the Warblers were being yesterday.
"So what are you gentlemen doing tonight?" Sebastian asked looking directly at Blaine.
"We're watching one of my favorite Liz Taylor movies. It's called Suddenly Last Summer. Have you seen it? You see Liz Taylor goes on this trip to an exotic island with her rich boy cousin who's name, funnily enough, is Sebastian. Anyway one thing leads to another and Sebastian ends up getting literally torn apart, limb from limb for sleeping with young men he had no right to. Anyway Liz Taylor ends up going insane becuase the violence of Sebastian's demise is so unimaginably horrific that a witness just couldn't come back from something like that. Isn't that just wild? Did I mention it's one of my favorites?"
"I believe you did." Sebastian quirked, looking slightly impressed at Kurt's thinly veiled threat.
"Yeah, Montgomery Clift, Katherine Hepburn- you should check it out. Look at the time, I really should be going, my father can't run his campaign himself. Blaine you coming with?" Kurt looked to Blaine with wide eyes and an unflappable smile. Blaine rose and followed suit turning back briefly to utter out a quick goodbye.
As they walked out into the crisp fall air Blaine squeezed Kurt's hand and asked his boyfriend with a knowing smile "Did you enjoy that?"
"Immensly!" Kurt beamed and walked to his car door which Blaine opened. Once he was inside Blaine quickly glanced over his shoulder and the two shared a kiss of mutual contentment.
"Call me tonight if you're bored." Blaine said as he began to walk to his own car.
"I'm never bored!" Kurt called after him. Seconds later Kurt's phone vibrated with a text message. It was from Blaine.
I've noticed. xx

Kurt Hummel is a real pain in the ass, thought Sebastian. And if his Joe Regular dad gets elected he'll be even more of a know it all. Sebastian picked up his phone and dialed a number he almost forgot he had.
"Wow. Sebastian Smythe, didn't think I'd ever hear from you again, especially now that you're like, totally into dudes"
"Funny thing is Francesca, A mouth is a mouth when you're 13 at summer camp."
"Did you want something?"
"No, but you do."
"Ew, no way. Creep."
"So you're dad is running for office against that Hummel dope right?"
"Yeah and since when did you care?"
"Since Hummel's pain in the ass son started getting in my way. Listen Ohio is a pretty conservative state is it not? Family values and all that."
"I guess."
"So voters probably wouldn't take too kindly to a candidate with a son gayer than Mr. Clean. Look on facebook. Kurt Hummel, flaming, gives the rest of us a bad name."
"Oh my God. That's so funny that you're bringing this up, because my cousin goes to McKinley, and Hummels other kid or whatever was shouting at the head cheerleader about being a dyke and my dad's all 'that cheerleading coach is probably a dyke too' and now he wants to put out a commercial and-"
"Yeah whatever that's great."
"You called me."
"Yeah I did. And btw You should probably get your teeth fixed."
"You know you're a real assh-"
