"No, no, no, no way. What do you think you're doing here? We don't need a walking advertisement for why homophobia is a good idea actually running around at McKinley. Why don't you do everyone a favour and become a part of the gay suicide statistic instead? I promise we'll use your picture when we talk about how it gets better." Satana had clocked Sebastian from behind, even seeing him without the Warbler uniform. He wore the ugliest shirt she'd ever seen instead and she routinely had to look at Finn Hudson, so that was saying something.

"You almost blinded my friend, psycho. Do you want to confess to any more crimes or are you just lost?" She looked around to the lockers behind them, then back at him with a shrug. "You're not on the yellow brick road, tinman. You're not getting a heart here."

"Do you know the story of the monkey's paw? Or the vague concept of a story? I'm not sure how good the teaching is here and just how literate you are." Sebastian admitted as he looked at the stupid, annoying reason he was currently in this hell. Not that he intended to admit this was hell. No, no, no, he was going to own it. He didn't admit to weakness of failure.

"The basic concept is: be careful what you wish for. You want me gone from Dalton." Sebastian spread his arms and gestured around him. "Congratulations. I'm doing community service instead. I get to spend some time around the poor, the lonely and the ugly." He gave Santana a pointed look. "Like you."

"Riiiight. You're a poor man's idea of me lacking any of the spice and all of the sex, apart from maybe some awkward frotting in the back of a car that smells like swaety socks until someone comes in their tighty-whities." She just assumed that Sebastian wore tighty-whities, it seemed like a Dalton Academy thing to do. Not that she ever wanted to know for sure.

"You're not going to do well here, private school boy. I almost feel bad for you. I'm a cheerleader, I know what the bottom of the pyramid looks like and you've just become the spitting image." She shook her head. "Stay away from Blaine. Stay away from the Glee club. And watch your back. You stink of weakness."

[boylikethat]

"You're so charming. Look, I would enjoy it. It's not very often that you'll have one over me so." He mocking clapped his hands for her and then snorted in amusement. "But hey, the school teaches Spanish so at least I'll be able to communicate with your family while they clean my toilets some day."

With an arrogant smirk, he moved around Santana. He hadn't quite decided what he wanted to even do here, what his plans were but... well, he did want to compete. He liked to sing but he wasn't sure it was worth singing with the New Directions of all people. "Oh yeah." Sebastian remarked aloud, turning to look at Santana with fake surprise. "This is Blaine's school now. I had no idea."

WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!?!??!

CRISIS

SEBASTIAN IS HERE

[kurtsy]

"Hey!" It was that damn giant football guy who used to go after him together with Karofsky. Kurt would recognise him anywhere - not that his physique was difficult to recognise. He saw him shove someone and there were other guys around too. The anxiety rose but so did the righteous anger and so Kurt ran along the hallway, holding his phone at the ready in case he had to call Finn. "Get lost! Leave him alone!"

"What did he do, send out the faggot signal? Are you gonna run off to another school again, homo-Hummel?"

"Clever," Kurt commented drily, by now having recognised Sebastian. No matter, it still wasn't all right. "Come on, Sebastian. My brother can give us a ride."

And he hated that he was hiding behind Finn, even as a lie, but his pride wasn't as important as their safety.

[boylikethat]

"Oh, you're getting so rough. Kinky." Sebastian teased despite his own fear and the guy next to him slammed his fist pretty hard against the locker - dangerous close to his face. Sebastian jumped, of course he did, but he didn't like backing down. "Stop trying to turn me on, I--"

Sebastian's words cut off as one of the guys slammed their fist into his stomach and he gasped audibly.

"You wanna say that again, faggot!" The jock snapped and then gave Kurt a warning look, not wanting to mess with Finn but he could mess with this one. "You fucking fags, trying to take over the school. You better watch yourself, Hummel."

Sebastian dropped to his knees, bent double as he tried to breathe through the pain. He hadn't been punched like that before. It hurt. A lot.

[kurtsy]

"GET LOST!" Kurt's voice could have a lot of volume to it when he wanted it to, there was power behind that. Unfortunately he wasn't all that powerful in literally any other way, but he stepped in front of Sebastian, between him and those guys, and he dialled Finn's number, making sure that they could see his phone screen. Maybe it would deter them, although he wasn't holding his breath. "That's right, we are taking over the school. So better get away before we turn all of you gay."

He didn't want a repeat of last year, yet here he was.

[vocaladrenaline]

Is this Sebastian Smythe?

[boylikethat]

Yes.

Who is this?

[vocaladrenaline]

Jesse St James

Here's my headshot:

Triple-threat, several Regional and National championships in Show Choir with Vocal Adrenaline, future Tony Award winner

Further strengths include, but are not limited to: charm, amazing hair, soft hands and ambiguous but very in your face sexuality

[boylikethat]

Hey, so, the bonding time was super fun and it's been swell. You guys had my back. Super weird.

You were pretty cool. Also weird.

But maybe this isn't going to last.

[kurtsy]

...what's going on, Sebastian?

[boylikethat]

I got an offer to join another club.

sry

[boylikethat]

This would either be a complete waste of time or something super interesting and he really couldn't call it. Jesse made big promises but Jesse also wanted something from him, that much was obvious. He wasn't so sure of all of this and he thought Kurt probably had a point about staying at McKinley but the appeal of somewhere with less beatings was up on his want list.

Sebastian sat at the bar and texted Jesse that he had arrived, ordering himself a drink and wondering, nervously, if he had dressed well for this. Just his usual lacrosse shirt with a popped collar. He liked a popped collar - Kurt said it made him look like an 80s bully but he didn't mind that.

Though maybe he should have worn tighter pants. Not that he had a good ass to show off.

He supposed it was time to play. However this would go, it was not going to be boring.

[vocaladrenaline]

"Hi, there." Jesse came up from behind Sebastian when he wasn't looking, simply stopping next to him and casually putting an arm around his waist, one hand coming to rest just above his hip. "You blend in here quite well, I almost didn't spot you. Luckily you're worth a closer look."

Just a bit of a neg and a tease combined with a compliment, Jesse knew how to play the game. He had never been that close to Sebastian before, so he really was enjoying the closer look. Such big eyes, there was a certain bambi-ness there that he adored - firmly telling himself that it didn't remind him of Rachel Berry whatsoever. He'd moved on from that dreaded chapter of his life.

He wore a black shirt and a black jeans jacket over it, black jeans and a studded belt. His hair looked good today, so he hadn't felt the need to accessorize much otherwise. "What are you drinking? I guess I could go fruity, since I'm here."

[boylikethat]

"Really now? Huh." He blended right in? He eyed up the guys in the club, not entirely sure that was true. Most guys just wore jeans and t-shirts. Boring. He preferred something more sporty. He knew most gay guys like to advertise their lack of sportsmanship and alternativeness but Sebastian felt there was a certain boring cliché-ness to it.

He gave Jesse a closer look, his eyes linger on how the t-shirt fit on his chest. Yeah, no, that boy had a very kissable chest. He could already tell.

"I'm just drinking a beer but feel free to cocktail it up." He smiled at Jesse and then held up his hand to get the bartenders attention. He didn't want Jesse to think he was some loser like Kurt who liked fruity stuff and had like zero sex appeal. Nah, he was cool. "I like your belt, by the way."

And, because he liked to be forward, he reached out and hooked his finger into the belt and tugged on it playfully.

[kurtsy]

"Listen, Sebastian. I know I've referred to you as an evil squirrel before but I really didn't think you'd take that to heart. Or-- so literally." Why was Sebastian sulking around the hallways like he was under a dark cloud and eating walnuts as a snack? Kurt honestly didn't know and he was a little worried, as well as weirded out. So he walked next to him in the hallway, frowning as he kept up with his long strides. "Is someone bothering you? Karofsky?"

It could be. Although he didn't know about the walnut phase of being bullied, he must have skipped that.

[boylikethat]

"What? No. Nothing is bothering me. I'm just sick. I think." Sebastian answered in an almost petulant mumble as he shoved another walnut into his mouth and chewed it with determination. Jesse hadn't texted or called after he'd made a total ass of himself at Scandals and his brain was just full of horny, sexy thoughts of him. He was literally the man of his dreams right now.

"Walnuts are really good for you, you know? They cured my asthma." Sebastian said it with such confidence that it was like it was a scientific fact. He pulled another walnut from his pocket and cracked it in his hand, dropping shell pieces behind them. "What do you want?"

[kurtsy]

"...I don't want any of your asthma curing nuts, in case you're wondering." He felt he had to make that clear. Kurt took a hold of Sebastian's arm, pulling him into the auditorium, as they happened to pass it. he just hoped he'd at least not drop any shell pieces here. "I want to know what's up with you. You're usually filled with an amount of glee. Evil glee, gloating, mocking, but glee nonetheless."

So what was going on? He supposed he cared, for whatever reason. Sebastian was one of them now.

[vocaladrenaline]

I was just thinking about you thinking about me

[boylikethat]

Bold assumption.

How can you be so confident?

[vocaladrenaline]

I mean, mostly because I've met me
