he's a genius, supposedly, he used to be rich before he got disowned
I mean, it's not that hard to explain... quite a few go to NYU, just like you, Artie is in film school, Blaine and Rachel go to NYADA, I'm interning at Vogue, Mercedes is recording her album here and Sam wants to model until his junk is on the side of a bus.
"It's not on you," Kurt declared loftily, sounding a lot more calm than he actually felt. He held a hand out for Blaine's wallet and put that into his inside pocket right away, then he checked whether he'd definitely not forgotten the pictures of Finn that he always had with him, printed out and ready to show people. "Back home, the police have been looking everywhere. My dad, everyone. I went home to try and find him. There's been no trace."
Until now. Possibly. "He started doing drugs. Before he vanished. So the police think that he might have OD'd somewhere. Something like that."
Sebastian had no idea Finn was missing, he just assumed that was normal. Hell, half of that glee club was here, they travelled in packs. He kind of assumed he was here cause his girlfriend was, Rachel or whatever. "Drugs? Shit. I didn't know he was missing or I would have talked more. Or texted you. I just saw him and said hi, nothing bigger than that."
He started to walk back towards the subway stop, assuming Kurt didn't want to waste much time. He was hiding it well but he looked freaked out "I remember what he was wearing and doing, if that helps?"
"Yeah, that's useful. What was he wearing? And what was he doing?" Kurt had not been able to remotely come to terms with the thought of his brother being dead. His brother lost in NYC wasn't a much better thought to adapt to, but at least it gave him a plan of action. It gave him something. He walked down to the subway, following Sebastian who knew where they were going.
"The last time him and I talked, he just wanted to borrow money..." Finn had never borrowed money from him before, not since he'd wanted to buy some presents for Rachel. Then he had paid back promptly.
"He had on just like jeans and a t-shirt. Which is why I remember, it's fucking freezing and I admired his hardiness. He was outside the bar, drumming on a bucket or something, with his hands. I think maybe busking? I don't know. He's good though." Sebastian assumed it had been some kind of Rent method acting or him just spreading the music. He had no idea that this whole thing was going on. Drugs. That was some heavy shit.
"Money for drugs. Yeah, that sucks. What is he into?" Sebastian asked as he got on the subway and sat down, tilting his head to double check the map. "I've known guys into crystal and ketamine. Mostly my more conservative friends, ironically."
"I don't know everything. He didn't exactly leave any receipts or shopping lists. But hard stuff. I think it started out with some E at a party and then spiralled quickly." That was as much as he could put together from talking to - and yelling at - Puck. They really didn't have that much to go on.
Kurt was anxious as he sat next to Sebastian, trying to keep his mind focused. "Finn always liked drumming the best. He should have been a drummer, any band would be lucky."
Just a t-shirt in this weather. He had to be freezing.
"Yeah, I mean, he was nailing it." Sebastian had no idea what to do with Kurt so he pulled out his phone, pretending to check messages because he didn't know how to comfort him or what to say. All he could do was taking him where he had to go and hopefully he could help in that way. "I never knew him. I just photoshopped him into porn."
Sebastian tilted his head back and then smiled tiredly. "Uh, I was such a dick." Wait. "I'm still a dick." Well, that was just him. "But I'm not enough of a dick to be fucking with you about this. I honestly didn't know or I would have said sooner."
"I know you didn't know. I'd have probably punched you by now if I thought you knew." Kurt wasn't sure if he was the punching kind but be definitely felt as if that would be a reason. "I don't like talking about it. About him missing. About him being gone. Because I've no idea how I'm supposed to feel about it."
And he had no idea how to handle it. Finn had always tried to look out for him, for everyone, always tried to be a selfless leader, to not every leave anyone behind. He hadn't been like that the last time they'd talked. Addiction changed people. "I feel like I should call Blaine's brother. Not because he's hot, just because I think he's the person I know with the most experience with drugs. Him and Axel, I guess."
"Blaine's brother is into drugs? Huh. You know, I know I flirt with your boy but his brother... fuck me." He was hot. Like seriously hot. Although now wasn't really the time to pine over Ed so he refrained. He looked up and then pulled himself up. "Okay, it was along this stop. It's near NYU, I went with some guys from my class."
Insufferable assholes who yelled at Finn to shut the fuck up. He hated literally everyone he was studying with. He waited by the front of the subways doors, leaning against the rail. "Maybe they have CCTV or something?"
"I mean, his brother does the rock star lifestyle. All three components. And, yes, he is super hot. When they perform together I question a lot of things." Such as that he really should not be that horny but it was impossible to ignore just how hot the Anderbros really were when put together. Whatever. That was good as a distraction but now he had to focus up. Look for his own brother.
He headed out of the subway doors with Sebastian, frowning. "Maybe it'd be best to ask some of the-- You know. The homeless people that are around. I have pictures of Finn, we can ask if they've seen him."
"We're going to talk to homeless people? Jesus, Kurt, you want to get mugged or something?" He didn't imagine that would go down well. Two twinks with baby faces hitting up homeless guys for the whereabouts of a junkie. "I'm not wussing out but I'm just saying... maybe you should give the tip I gave to the cops. They were looking, right? Well, you have a location and I'll give a witness statement."
As they left the subway stop, Sebastian headed towards the bar, looking around as he walked. There were a lot of homeless people, any one of them could be Finn. "I mean, which ones do we ask?"

A little jealousy is a good thing, I'm probably doing them a favour.
I'm heading to the subway now. I hate the subway.

I've kind of gotten used to the subway... Rachel prefers cabs but I don't have two daddies' money to throw around

I have no idea how all of the kids from your glee club ended up here.

Don't talk about Finn. He's my brother. Respect that.

Though he's looking more handsome these days, I'll give him that.
no subject
What do you mean, these days? When did you see him?
no subject
I was at a normal bar, not a gay bar. Chill, I didn't hook up with your brother.

Sebastian, Finn has been missing for MONTHS.
Missing, presumed dead.
Are you sure it was him?
