for once in her entire life ;;rachel was silent. sebastian smythe. blaine was dating sebastian smythe. that was definitely a shocker. it was probably a good thing that blaine’s leg was draped across her, otherwise she would’ve jumped up–– very dramatically. still, blaine was her BEST FRIEND and why should she make him feel bad about this? obviously he liked him. and if blaine was happy ;; why couldn’t she be happy for him?
“ sebastian? —- you’re joking, right? “
she held up a finger to stop him from talking, && shook her head. she had to rethink what to say ;; maybe something a little bit less… judgemental.
“ that- is. wonderful news.and you’re happy, right? that’s the ONLY thing that matters. “
Purposefully pinning her down and forcing her talk wasn’t beyond him and he he’d done it for a reason. Her walking away would have been a blow Blaine wasn’t ready for. He wanted this to be–good–news. Not that he expected it for most of his friend. They were over-protective by experience and nature. It was as endearing as it was frustrating. Especially about this. Rachel’s question had him opening his mouth before she shut him down with a lifted finger.
Blaine couldn’t stop his double take. Mouth open in shock. She was going with it?
He first had to blink himself out of his stunned daze so he could watch her in a way that was all Blaine. Narrow eyes and measuring ‘you really don’t mean that but am I going to call you out on it or roll with it because you’re being kind?’ stare.
“Yeahhhh. –Uh huh.— That’s the ONLY thing that matters. I’m happy,” he lowly whispered still cautious. “Really happy Rachel. Can I please explain how this happened?” He wouldn’t mention how easily she agreed with him sort of freaked him out. “Maybe if you understand the how? You might get the why?”
