familiar face–not so familiar story.

He catches it, that glance.  He’s acting about as Sebastian-like as ever, which is to say, not in the slightest.  His confidence was in science, in his speed, in the criminal activities that he was technically here to do.  Not confrontations, no matter that they’re disguised as.

“Living the dream after all.”  He jokes.  It was nice to see that Blaine got to live where he used to talk about.  Memories resurface, talking about plans of the future and goals big and small.  He can’t believe Blaine actually humored him with friendship, given his behavior.. Although, the worst of it was hidden for a little while, wasn’t it?  He wasn’t flaunting how he talked to Kurt in his face-  Right.  Kurt.  Barry almost looks around for him right there; they were probably a far better couple than Barry gave them credit for if they survived his rain of terror.

“I got some time off work,”  He says with a shrug of his shoulder.  “Some friends thought a vacation would be cool so I figured why not tag along, right?  Never got to see this place.. We should- we should catch up sometime, while I’m here.  If you want to.”

Living the dream.  Close enough.  Blaine loved the city.  He loved his life here.  But the road getting to that love?  Was made up of bumps and swerves.  A detour or two that left him chasing the chance to let himself fall in love with it again after a rather tumultuous love story between him and his place of dreams.  “Yeah.  I guess you could say that.  It’s home and there’s no place I’d rather be.”  There was nothing but truth in that statement.  Even if she threw him a hardball to the face now and then? New York City would always be home.

So–Sebastian was going to be here for only at least a little while?  Hearing that news brought a smile to Blaine’s lips and an excited sparkle to his eyes.  “Yeah. Yeah!  I’d love to.  How long will you be here?” It’d been years and he hoped they’d run into each other again someday.  But–like a lot of high school relationships–life had a way of breaking promises of not falling out of touch for a lot of people.  He hadn’t meant to let it happen between the two of them.  Though it wasn’t either’s particular fault.

“Whenever you have the time?  I’ll make the time.  I could show you the not-so-touristy places. If that’s something you’d like,” he searched the other’s green eyes and decided on one thing he had to get out of the way first.  With a palm fit against the back of his neck, he smiled softly. “It is really good to see you again.”

that got your attention.

   Sebastian’s stare instantly jumps to his boyfriend’s face to find that evil eyebrow lift! Sebastian furrows his own brows instantly and makes a dramatic effort to close the magazine he was reading and throw it off to the side on the coffee table. ❝ You. Wouldn’t. Dare, Blaine… ❞ he grumbles, glaring. No way! Blaine was obviously joking. The both of them together had ruled that out as a complete NON-efficient method! It was actually such an efficient method. Why is Sebastian such a man child at times? The world may never know.

image

Watching Sebastian’s antics and not laughing was almost asking too much for someone who had yet to finish off his morning afternoon coffee.  Last night was a late one…  “Oh.  I.  Would. Dare, Sebastian…,” Blaine quips up from the corner of the sofa he was nuzzled into with his iPad and wake-me-up dose of AO3 fanfic.  You’d think with the reason why last night didn’t end until the sun came up that someone (Sebastian) would be in a much less snarky mood.  You’d think! But you’d be wrong!  No worries.  Setting him right with the Threat of Threats™  was easy peasy. “Try me.  Your chair’s looking awfully lonely.  It’s been a while.”

❝ I think the one who wears the collar fits much better in the doghouse. ❞ And there goes the worlds biggest devious grin into action. Don’t test Sebastian Smythe. 

❝ That’s simple logic. ❞

“So what you’re saying is it’s time to bring back Time Out?”  Blaine swallows thickly and crosses his arms.  “If we’re going by–you know–simple logic,” he gives his boyfriend a quizzical, playfully expectant eyebrow lift.  Oh! Blaine will test him!  So hard–Sebastian will think he’s in school and the teacher just shouted ‘pop quiz!’ to wake him up from an impromptu desk-nap time!

nick.

Nick was almost to the door when Blaine called him back in. He turned around. “I guess I have a few more minutes.” He agreed and came back closer. Part of him wished he didn’t come at all, but the bigger part was glad he did. He took a deep breath and sat down. He figured it might be a better idea to get Blaine’s thoughts off the subject. He didn’t know how to at first. “So, not sure if you heard but I am starting to get a few college credits online. So when I do manage to go to NYU or wherever I go… I will already be pretty ahead.” He said to Blaine with a smile. He was still on the young side, but it wasn’t unheard of.

Sighing in relief as Nick turned around and returned back to the chair beside the bed–Blaine let his head fall to rest against the pillows.  Tired but not tired enough to go to sleep alone, he squirmed around until he was snuggled up under the blankets and on his side facing him.  By the time he was settled?  Blaine was just a ball of sheets and blankets with his head poking out. Noticing that Nick changed the subject–Blaine let him and was honestly thankful for the switch. If he thought about tonight any more?  Sleep wouldn’t be a remote possibility unless the painkillers won out.  Which they might anyway.  “You did, Nicky?  That’s great!  I’m really proud of you. What are you thinking of as a major?  Decide yet?  Please tell me you’re going to keep singing.  Your voice is too good to stop all together.  Even if you decide on something else.”

aren’t you sweet?

❝ And why is that? Because not only do I cope with a raging Diva from day to day but I also cope with a complete jerk? Ah, yes. You know my struggle well. So considerate, baby. ❞

“Wow.  You always say such nice things to me.  I love you, too.  Keep it up.  Apparently someone wants to end up in the doghouse again tonight.  I’m starting to think you like it there.”

is that–lace?

Elliott was mortified. Honest to god mortified – he wasn’t happy with his body at the best of times, so to be caught like that? There was a thud as the fabric he was holding fell on the floor, his hand going limp as it did so. At the same time, a deep red blush stemmed all the way up, spanning across his jaw and down his chest.

“Yeah…” Without taking his eyes off Blaine he reached behind him, hand wrapping in the plaid shirt he’d left there and pulling it on over his shoulders, letting it hang open. “I can uh, I can see that.“ Elliott rubbed awkwardly at his neck, uncomfortable with the situation. "Can you quit staring?” He blurted that out without thinking about it, looking away and blushing deeper. “I-sorry, I…please?”

Blaine’s mouth moved like a fish out of water as soon as it was pointed out that he was staring. He didn’t mean it that way!  Mostly!  Staring at Elliott’s eyes was a way of guaranteeing himself that he wouldn’t look elsewhere.  In his attempt not to make things awkward.  Guess what he did?  Only made them worse.  “Sorry!  Sorry!  I didn’t–oh.  Just..sorry.”

Tearing his gaze off Elliott–first to the ceiling–then to the wall–then snap!  Right into his own lap–Blaine nodded.  His cheeks puffed out as he groaned.  With a puff of exhaled air and a quick touching of his feet to the floor–Blaine stood up.  “I’m going to go make tea or–tea.  Tea’s great. He not so gracefully excused himself out of the room with a duck to the left, pivot to the right and a beeline straight towards the kitchen feeling a rush of heat over his face, down his throat. Who knows?  With this level of embarrassment?  It might not stop til it went all the way to his toes.

   ❝ Hey babe, get over here. You won’t believe this, it’s the strangest thing. I’m reading a book called My Boyfriend Is A Raging Diva and it really reminded me of you. ❞

“Oh really?  Sounds like a fascinating read, Sebastian.  You should try reading the sequel when you’re done.  It’s called Living With A Complete Jerk: A User’s Guide To Coping.  Totally reminds me of you.”
