Barry's pov
It's 10 a.m. when I wake up. Sebastian is still unconscious and the kid is still asleep. I forgot to ask his name. I go to sit up only to feel something holding me back. More like someone, Sebastian was holding my hand. I try to free myself but the grip only tightens and I'm afraid any tighter he will rip his stitches so I settle back down. "You two seem close" a voice startles me. I turn to look at the kid. "You're awake. And yeah we're close, inseparable some might say" I answer. "Why do you two have different surnames?" "It's a long story one that I can tell you but only if Sebastian agrees." "Okay" "I never got your name last night" "it's Kurt Hummel" " are you two friends?" I asked glancing towards Bas. "Far from it actually, he's in a rival glee club, he photoshopped pictures of my step brother and almost blinded my then boyfriend." "He did what?" I asked my eyes bulging out of my head. What kind of trouble has bas been creating here.
Kurt's pov
"He did what" shit did I say too much. I thought with how close they were he'd know. Did I just try to sabotage Sebastian's relationship with his brother. Oh my gaga I'm a horrible person. "I'm sorry on his behalf" Barry said with a sad voice. "He already apologized" "is your 'then boyfriend' alright? And how does one almost blind someone?" "Blaine is well now. And there is a weird tradition in my school where the more popular or powerful students throw slushes at the less popular. Sebastian put rock salt in one and threw it at me but Blaine jumped in front and the slushy hit him the eye." "Damaging the cornea and leading to infection. God he must've had to get a surgery." "Yeah how'd you know."
"Because He's a science geek" a new raspy beyond belief voice interrupted our conversation and launched into a coughing fit. I got up to get a glass of water while Barry calls the doctor. Sebastian is awake and he doesn't look like death warmed over. That's good I guess. Once the doctor checks over Sebastian it's just me, Barry and Sebastian.
"Why Sebastian" "I'm sorry I-I just couldn't take it anymore. No one likes me hell they ha-hate me." Tears streaming down both their faces. "I love you and I'm always here for you, why didn't you talk to me." "I thought even you'd hate me after hearing about the slushy." Sebastian said now sobbing. "Shh I can never hate you, your my brother" Barry consoled pulling him into a hug. I felt like I was intruding on a very private moment but I also didn't want to ruin it by walking out or make a sound so I just sat there watching the brothers, not in a creepy way.
Barry's POV
I can never hate him he should know that. I feel like I have failed him if he believes that. I hug him tighter than I ever have and do what I know will calm him down, I sing

Ramblers in the wilderness we can't find what we need
We get a little restless from the searching
Get a little worn down in between
Like a bull chasing the matador
Is the man left to his own schemes
Everybody needs someone beside em'
Shining like a lighthouse from the sea

Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

Face down in the desert
Now there's a cage locked around my heart
I found a way to drop the keys
Where my failures were

Now my hands can't reach that far
I ain't made for a rivalry
I could never take the world alone
I know that in my weakness I am strong, but
It's your love that brings me home

Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

And when you call and need me near
Sayin' where'd you go?
Brother, I'm right here
And on those days when the sky begins to fall
You're the blood of my blood
We can get through it all

Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're feelin' low

Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

Brother, let me be your shelter
Never leave you all alone
I can be the one you call
When you're low

Brother, let me be your fortress
When the night winds are driving on
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home
Be the one to light the way
Bring you home

he fell asleep sometime during the song. I looked at him, he was cuddled up to my chest, looking peaceful. No one could tell what he had tried to do not even 12 hours ago by looking at him now.

" you have a nice voice" a voice startled me out of my creepy staring. " Sorry. Didn't mean to startle you" " no, I just....." I cut off the sentence there because I realized saying that I forgot he was there would be rude " you what" he asked." I kind of forgot you were there" I said chuckling a bit. "Well I'm here and you have an amazing voice, but don't tell Sebastian I said that because you two have the same voice and his ego doesn't need to be fed." "sure" "I should leave" "oh okay and thank you, for you know, the blood" " anytime" with that he left and I sat there with arms full of Sebastian. " you'll be alright" I spoke softly into Sebastian's hair.

I sit there thinking about ways to help bas while he sleeps. but there is one thing I know, 'we'll be alright'
