Chapter 2

After a week of stalking Kurt online, talking to Jeff and Nick, and in general leaving KurtandBlaine alone, Sebastian had decided it was time to try and contact Kurt. He had been thinking about how to best approach the countertenor without Blaine getting on his case, and figured he should tell the truth, or at least some of it. He had stolen Kurt's phone on one of their coffee meets, and called his own phone before saving his number, so he had decided to send a somewhat lengthy text.

I know your bf probably won't let me within ten feet of you right now, but I would really like to keep in contact. I want to have more with you, as the other day showed, but if nothing else, I would like to keep you as a friend. - S

It hadn't occurred to him until after he sent the text that he alluded to the fact that he saw them as friends, but hopefully Kurt would ignore that. He had, of course, no plans of backing down from trying to win over Kurt, but it would be a lot easier if Kurt was a willing participant. The text also made in clear that the second Kurt wanted it, Sebastian would gladly be more than friends.

37 minutes later (yes, he had been counting), he got a reply, and with a surprising amount of butterflies in his stomach, he opened the text.

I would like that too. As you said, B is not happy with you, and we can't meet anywhere he would walk in, but have you been to the coffee bean? It's about half way between Lima and Dalton, and B is banned from there. - K

Sebastian sighed in relief and lay down on his bed. Even though he was pretty sure that Kurt had wanted him in that kiss, he still could have chose to ignore it and Sebastian, but he had gotten his foot in the door and had managed to keep it there.

Yes, I know where it is. How did he get himself banned? When can you meet me? - S

I'll tell you when we meet, though I think you can guess :P How about Thursday after school? B has a thing with his family. - K

Sounds good, I'll see you then, babe. - S

Sebastian knew he was pushing it a little with that last one, but he couldn't seem to help himself, and Kurt didn't call him out on it.

KURTBASTIAN

Sounds good, I'll see you then, babe - S

Kurt looked at the message again, pondering if he had made the right choice. He knew that he should have avoided the text from Sebastian, knew that it was wrong to keep in contact with him. At the same time, Kurt really wanted to have Sebastian as a friend. The banter was fun, and the Warbler brought out another Kurt, the Kurt he was before he met Blaine.

Kurt had been thinking about things since that kiss. He had been trying to figure out who he was, and why he was so different with the two boys. With Blaine, he was meek and agreeable, and stepped down without even a second thought. With Sebastian he was fierce and demanding and he wouldn't even consider giving up a fight. This wasn’t the first time he had realized that he was different with Blaine. He had thought about it before, but he had always made the conclusion that it was because he didn't need the shield anymore - didn’t need to be bitchy and demanding when he had someone that loved him and would stand up for him. Except he realized now that that might not be the reason.

He thinks back to that first period at Dalton. Blaine would constantly tell him to tone it down, to try and fit in better, to change. He would hold down Kurt's hand in the Warbler meetings so he wouldn't say anything “inappropriate”. And Kurt had changed, had toned it down, had taken everything with a smile, because he wanted Blaine to want him. Where he was emotionally right then, he needed someone to want him, and that someone happened to be Blaine, who had taken advantage of said fact. Then they got together, and even though Kurt felt safe and mostly like his old self again, he still kept up the mellow and meek persona with Blaine. Maybe he was afraid the other boy would leave him if he found out just how he was, or maybe it was something else.

Kurt loved Blaine, he really did, but he wasn't sure he even liked himself with Blaine.

As he thinks about their relationship, all the things that are wrong with it seem to just jump at him. All the criticisms from Blaine in the beginning, the whole kissing Rachel and comparing him to Karofsky incident, taking Tony when he knew Kurt needed it. Even though he enjoyed the extra time he got with Blaine, he had started to regret long ago that he asked him to transfer, as it brought in a level of competition in their relationship. Kurt was also a little bitter for the fact that he had to work through years of bullying to become even friendly with the boys in glee, but Blaine had become 'one of the boys' without second thought.

Things were simply not working, and that was the reason he had answered Sebastian. He had no intention of cheating on Blaine, but he wanted to see if there was something there or if he was simply dissatisfied with Blaine. He knew that it wasn't likely that Sebastian would stop chasing him, and he wanted to find out how it would be to be chased for once.

So sue him.
