What Needs to be Said (Glee FF)

What Needs to be Said

I've been deep into my Glee and Flash phase and just finished rewatching/watching some episodes of Glee again. I am currently loving the "What if Barry lived with Marley" fics (Bad Blood by TeganLynn at AO3 is one of my faves so far) and I cant help feel that the Shooting Star scene needed a little more drama if Barry was involved.

Background : Seb and Barry are twins. Marley is their cousin. Barry spends his Senior Year with Marley and her mom, Barry was in McKinley when the shooting happened. All other details will be mentioned in the story.

Song: Say by John Mayer

Barry sat beside his cousin Marley. His hand holding on to one of hers tight while she snuggled beside her boyfriend. The shooting in McKinley had shaken the entire school. And the Glee club and the band decided to ditch the assembly to just do what was best for them and sing.

Years of his love of musicals from watching Singing in the Rain with his mom and his brother. Music was always his way to express his emotions. He doesn't know how he would've coped if he didn't have Glee club. Moving across the country to live with his Aunt and Cousin when Central City became too much, seeing his brother for the first time in over seven years and opening their problems for the first time since his mom's death. And most recently, fearing for his own life hearing the gun fired in the school. The dread that he will never see his dad free from prison, never seeing Iris and Joe, and for the last thing he said to his brother being some stupid argument.

Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so called problems
Better put 'em in quotations

Say what you need to say (x3)

Quick footsteps echoed through the backstage hallway. A boy in a disheveled Dalton Uniform sprinted out and entered the stage where the Glee club was settled.

The Glee club turned to see Sebastian Smythe not like they've ever seen him before. His hair ruffled and flat over his head almost covering his swollen bloodshot eyes. His shirt partially tucked under his blazer his tie hanging loose on his neck.

"Bas?" Barry whispered approaching his brother.

"Barry."

Sebastian grabbed his brother tighter than he did when their mother died. The Warbler holding tight as he knelt on the ground with his arms around his brother. Tremors shaking his shoulders as he silently sobbed into his brother's shoulder.

"I'm sorry." he sobbed softly into Barry's shoulder as the Glee club continued to sing together. "I'm so sorry! I don't want it to be you. I never want it to be you."

Barry helped his brother on to his feet as they sat on the stands. Arms wrapped around each other. Barry brushed his bangs off the face of his usually well put together brother. Sebastian wrapping his fingers between his brother's slowly feeling the comfort of having his brother beside him.

You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than never to say what you need to say again

Say what you need to say (x3)

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
(Even as the eyes are closin')
(Do it with a heart wide open)

Wide heart! (Wide)

Say what you need to say (Oh say what) X3

Sebastian hummed with the New Directions. Feeling the warmth of his brother beside him feeling the vibrations of the instruments on the ground and the voices of his Rivals echoing through the auditorium.

Dalton

Sebastian was making his way back to his dorm when he saw his brother in the hallways of Dalton.
