Trent was worried about Sebastian. He knew Sebastian was angry about the fact that Hunter was captain instead. he tries to help him and help him calm his anger that doesn't involve drinking too much alcohol or coffee, as that worries them a lot.

As Trent was helping his friend, because he would never turn on Sebastian because after all Sebastian knows Trent's secret. Trent knew the only way to calm his friend was Rachel. Trent knew that Sebastian has a soft spot of the pint size diva. Trent also knew that Rachel is the only person that Sebastian won't ever be angry or short tempered around, and won't pick up a bottle or another cup of coffee.

As around Rachel, he has decaf tea because it's what she likes, and Sebastian always knows what Rachel likes. He knew Rachel like the back of his hand unlike Finn who never remembered that she is vegan. When Rachel gets Trent's text she began to worry a lot. She was currently with Blaine, Kurt, Finn, Quinn and Santana when Trent's text came through. Rachel knew she had to be there for Sebastian. He was more important and her priority right now. 

Rachel knew she couldn't exactly stand up and tell Blaine, Kurt, Finn, Quinn and Santana where she was going, because they would grill her a lot especially Kurt, Finn and Santana even though Finn is with Quinn and now is engaged to Quinn and Rachel was with Sebastian in secret. She quickly thought of an excuse

"That was my dad's. I have to go as my cousin is coming over tonight, and she just wants a small family dinner." Rachel hoped that they brought it, but Rachel also knew that Trent would have also messaged Blaine. She stood up, got two decaf teas to go and left. On the way to Dalton Rachel made point in buying decaf coffee.

When she reached Dalton to see her boyfriend, Rachel looked at a worried Trent

"Where is he and how is he, what happened?" Trent gave Rachel the key to his and Sebastian's dorm and said

"In the dorm, he locked himself in there, I have no idea what to do and don't know how he's feeling, and as for what happened I'll let him tell you Rach." Rachel accepted the key from Trent, and walked to the dorms. As soon as Rachel got to the dorm and unlocked the door, she was hit with the smell of faint smoke from the cigarettes that Sebastian secretly smokes, and the faint smell of alcohol that Sebastian drinks when he's not doing well mentally.

Rachel was the only one that knew what was going on. Rachel hated it when people messed with Sebastian's well-being. Rachel saw a shirtless and sleeping Sebastian on the bed, and decided it will be a good time to switch his coffee to decaf, and tipped out the alcohol and threw away the empty bottles and also threw away his hidden cigarettes too and that's when Rachel saw the letter from Dalton's headmaster explaining that Sebastian would be demoted from Warbler captain and given to Hunter Clarington because of Hunter's show choir success from military school. Rachel was angry that it happened as no-one loved the warblers more than Sebastian not even Blaine. Rachel was worried because before Hunter, Sebastian was doing so much better mentally, he had made up for the whole slushy to Blaine. 

Rachel glanced over at her best friend and secret boyfriend, she was sad for him because thanks to Kurt and Santana, Sebastian was still proving his worth and proving himself and now he was being demoted from captaincy from his beloved Warblers. Kurt and Santana always give him grief for what he did to Blaine even though Blaine forgave him. And Santana marching down to Dalton to confront him and her and Kurt demanding Sebastian to come to Mckinley to blackmail him too didn't exactly help him at all, and Rachel having known Sebastian her whole life knew that, so without her team knowing after the black and white performance and after Santana confronted Sebastian, Rachel went to Sebastian's and Trent's dorm to be there for Sebastian.

Sebastian never wanted to worry anyone at all, he put on a good front around everyone but he was crying in his room, he admits that he put rock salt in the drink, but it was to keep it cold and to stop it from melting, and it was meant to hit clothing, Blaine was the one that jumped to be a hero, no-one told Blaine to do that, and you can't exactly stop a slushy mid throw. It was all Blaine's fault, no-one told him to jump. At that thought Rachel was reminded of when she and Sebastian first got together. 

It had been after the slushy and after Santana confronted Sebastian. Rachel had snuck into his and Trent's dorm, and she had seen him on his bed close to tears because of Santana and Kurt and what had happened with Blaine. Rachel took off her ballet flats and got into Sebastian's bed hugging him tight and giving him forehead kisses and even softly sang the singing in the rain songs to him. It was after the last song she sang that Sebastian had sat up and kissed her on the lips which had surprised her because she never expected it. 

When Sebastian had pulled away he was even more shocked at what happened and began to freak out that he had made Rachel cheat on Finn. Sebastian stood up to leave but Rachel had took his hand to stop him and he said

"I'm sorry that I made you cheat on Finn. I know you don't like me like that, so I'm really sorry Rachel." Rachel gently placed her hand on his face and said

"It's okay you didn't make me cheat Sebby. Finn is with Quinn now. has been for quite some time now, so it's okay." Sebastian was relieved about it, and Rachel pulled Sebastian back down on his bed and kissed him. Rachel felt familiarity when she kissed him, familiarity and sparks when she kissed him. As when the last time they kissed was when they were 10 it was their first and last kiss as their first kiss was also their goodbye kiss because he was leaving for France. And when he came back, he was devastated when he found out that Rachel was with another. and when they kissed this time they knew in their hearts that is where they want to be with each other.

Present time Sebastian stirred in his sleep, and slowly woke up, he sat up to stretch and as he did he saw Rachel in the dorm laying next door to him on his bed sleeping softly and soundly. Sebastian knew that it was Trent. Sebastian felt at peace and okay knowing that Rachel was here. Sebastian smiled and leaned forward and softly kissed her lips. Rachel woke up to an awake yet sleepy and shirtless Sebastian. Rachel gave a small smile and said

"Are you okay? Trent said you were having a bad day." Sebastian wrapped his arms around Rachel and said

"I am now Love, you make everything all okay." Sebastian kissed her hair and they snuggled and shared sweet kisses with each other never letting the other go.

Rachel and Sebastian knew eventually they had to tell people they were in a relationship but not right now, they wanted nothing but each other.
