Sebastian and Rachel One Shots (Smytheberry)

120. I want you to be okay part 1

Dedicated to: ShannonCataldi I turned this into a two part story.

Thad was dating Santana, which his best friend Sebastian hates. To Sebastian, Santana is literally Satan in heels, as when Thad isn't around Santana body shames him calling him too skinny like a stick and a giraffe had a baby, and what they didn't know is that Sebastian's girlfriend Rachel gets bullied by her at school and through social media. But what Santana didn't know was that Sebastian has had past issues with food. Only his friends Blaine, Puck, Thad and his girlfriend Rachel knew about it. Rachel always suggests that she and Sebastian always eat the same foods so he is comfortable with eating, and Thad always suggests to go on double dates which always makes Rachel nervous, as Rachel hasn't told Sebastian or Thad about what Santana does at school, because she doesn't want to worry or trigger Sebastian at all, she thinks she can handle it and is more worried about Sebastian.

When they reach the restaurant, Thad had excused himself to go to the bathroom which made Rachel and Sebastian nervous, as when he left Santana started insulting them. Rachel had enough of Santana's yelling and insults, that she started yelling at Santana, defending her and Sebastian. When Santana started her snide and snarky comments and insults, Sebastian put his menu down, and pushed away his water as his appetite was ruined, which didn't go unnoticed to Rachel. She took his hand and walked out of the restaurant feeling very apologetic to Thad.

Rachel hugged Sebastian tight knowing that all he wanted to do now was to eat his favourite salad, go to his dorm and cuddle each other watching movies until they waited for Thad to come back so they could explain everything to him and why they left. Sebastian hated feeling like this, and hated that he is like this, he feels like he is just being burden to Rachel. Sebastian was even fully prepared to order a full-size meal that consisted of cheese mushroom ravioli with a diet coke, and was even planning on eating the bread, but Santana had started her snarky insults towards him the minute Thad had walked away. It saddens Rachel a lot, she helps Sebastian a lot, and understands what he's going through because of her sister Marley.

Meanwhile Thad had walked back to the table to find Rachel and Sebastian gone, he knew it had to have been because of Santana. Thad knows everything that happens to Rachel at school with Santana because of Blaine and Puck telling him as they like to gossip and do fantasy baseball together, and while talk baseball Puck and Blaine casually tell him about what Santana does, and he she has the Cheerios and everyone else in the glee club bullying, and although Thad doesn't want to believe it, and as Blaine tells him it happens he and Puck tell Thad about the time Rachel and Jesse were just friends and Rachel was helping him with getting to know Tina, and gave Rachel an ultimatum of either Jesse or glee. And they are all pretty sure Santana belittles Sebastian. Blaine knows she does, he's heard her and he has defended Sebastian and encourages Thad time and time again to break up with Santana. Blaine doesn't want to lose his cousin and his best friend because of Santana, and Puck knows that Santana would tell everyone about Rachel and Sebastian.

Blaine is afraid for his cousin, more scared because he was hospitalised before when he was 14 for his eating disorder. Thad confronts Santana about it all, expecting the truth, but he is disappointed when Santana lies to him, he was about to talk when the waitress comes over and asks if everything was okay and asks about the other couple because of the commotion that had happened earlier. Thad looked at Santana and knew that she had lied, he threw his napkin down and left the restaurant because of the lying she had done, and the bullying towards his friends, and wanting to protect his friend, he messages Rachel's dad Hiram who works with his dad Clint and tells him everything Santana did to Rachel and convinces him to put Rachel in at Dalton to keep her safe from all the bullying.

Rachel was with Sebastian in his and Thad's dorm when Thad gets back. She's been trying to convince Sebastian to eat the salad she made with the light dressing on the side, but he's been unsure and not cooperating with her. She places the dish on his night stand cuddling him and starts to cry because she's afraid for him and she doesn't know what to do as she has tried everything and nothing is working and she doesn't want to see him back in the hospital again where she almost lost him. As Rachel and Sebastian cuddled Thad walked back and sees them, he doesn't want to disturb them, Rachel looks, wipes her eyes and immediately asked,

"Santana isn't with you is she?" Thad shakes his head no and said

"She's no longer welcome, and I don't even care if I get my stuff back." Sebastian was surprised by it, he knew how much his best friend loved her. Sebastian looked at Thad and said

"are you okay?" Thad shrugged his shoulders and said

"I'm not sure, but I am worried about you though Seb, are you okay?" Sebastian shrugged his shoulders and said

"I would be okay. At least I hope. I'm struggling more and more, and I'm scared of relapsing." Thad becomes more and more worried for his best friend. He tentatively asks

"Have you eaten at all today?" Sebastian nodded his head and then quickly shakes his head no, and confesses

"I was going to at the double date, but Santana made me lose appetite." Thad sighed and said

"I'm Bas, really I am. Is there anything I can do, I have some of that homemade protein rich granola that you love. We could share it if you want." Sebastian thought about it and agreed to Thad's idea, which made Rachel smile a little and said

"Take your time, it's okay if you don't finish it, I'm just proud that you are eating something."
