Designated Driver (Kurtbastian)

Chapter Two

Saturday morning, after a night filled with nightmares and tears, Kurt drove to the Lima Bean. He wasn't ready to face his dad, or Finn, or Blaine. He just wanted to get his coffee fix of the day, and wanted time to rethink the night before. When he sat down at a table in the back, he let his mind wander to what happened last night.

He was used to the flashbacks, since the accident had happened only three years ago, when he was a freshman. They didn't happen frequently, but once he started crying it normally took him forever to stop. But he constantly had nightmares, ones where he could still hear his mother's screams. He would sometimes wake up screaming, checking the scratches that were no longer there. He was glad that when they moved into the new house that his bedroom was in the basement, with soundproof walls. He always felt bad when his dad, Carole and Finn came rushing to his room in a panic when they lived in the old house.

He hadn't told Blaine any of this, scared of what his boyfriend would think about it. Kurt sighed when he remembered how the boy had acted the night before with Sebastian. It had hurt when Blaine would just blush at the boy's lewd comments and would ignore the Warbler's insults to Kurt. Kurt didn't want to lose Blaine, he didn't know if he would ever find someone as amazing as his boyfriend was.

He was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard someone sitting down in the seat across from him. Kurt looked up in surprise when he saw that it was Sebastian. He noticed that Sebastian's horribly done CW hair was a mess; his eyes had dark circles under them as if he hadn't slept, and he seemed to be wearing the same clothes he was wearing the night before under his coat. Kurt was even more shocked when he saw guilt and concern in his eyes.

Sebastian hadn't slept a wink last night. After dropping Blaine off at his house, Sebastian had driven straight home and had gone to bed without changing. But he didn't sleep. The guilt of what had happened that night had been eating away at him, so he decided to seek Kurt out, hoping that once he apologized he would be done with it. He wasn't used to feeling remorse or guilt and he was starting to slip into an unknown territory. Which was why he was sitting in front of Kurt, whose face was unreadable, to beg for forgiveness.

"Kurt, I am so-"

"Save it." Kurt said, starting to gather his things. "I don't want to talk about it."

"Wait, Kurt." Sebastian grabbed the boy's arm when Kurt tried to walk past him. He got up to stand in front of Kurt, not once letting go of his arm. "I just want to apol-"

"When I said I don't want to talk about it, I also meant I don't want to talk to you either." Kurt glared up at Sebastian. "Now let me go."

Sebastian remembered how Kurt reacted the night before when he wouldn't let Kurt go. He quickly released his grip. He tried to speak again, but the boy just shot out of the coffee shop, giving him one last look.

Sebastian slumped down in the chair and put his head in his hands, trying to figure out what he was going to do next. He didn't understand why he was so stuck up on this, but all he knew was that he wanted to know what the hell was going on with Kurt.
