New Girl In Town (1) ✔️

No Me Gusta (AKA: Secrets & Lies)

Safe to say my college decision leaves one of them extremely happy and the other understandably upset. I try to explain as calmly as I can that this does not mean I am choosing one over the other. My future career ideals and the prospects the chosen program offers me are the main selling points.

But it still puts a damper on the evening. I don't plan on revealing my decision to anyone else quite yet but I had to tell Hunter and Sebastian. It is just seems like the right thing to do especially now that I've made a concrete decision. I'm biting my lip, clearly uncomfortable now. But those boys, my sweet Warblers try their best to cheer me up despite their own feelings on the situation.

And this is why I love them both so much.

Sebastian murmurs sweet words in my ear, kissing from my temple down the side of my face. Small featherlight kisses. Hunter takes both of my hands in his and presses small kisses to my knuckles as well.

"Pretty Girl, nothing you do could make me stop loving you.

"Angel, you mean the world to me."

Sebastian's arms wind around my waist once more, holding me tightly to lay against his chest.  I'm curled up on his lap, my feet resting on Hunter's lap as he sits partially sideways as well to face me, holding my hand once again securely in his own.  My smile comes back and we resume chatting about things.

Random things.

Inconsequential topics.

Almost like the two boys are starting to become friends.

Hunter and I are filling Sebastian in on our progress with that Rumba we've been trying to perfect in dance class when I hear it.

Faintly.

"She wasn't kidding when she said he was seeing someone was she?"

"This is just weird.  I'm really, really confused right now."

"Kurt and I saw them kissing..."

"Wait. What?!  When?  Does Sebastian know??"

"I'm assuming he does.  I mean they're sitting all cozy together, all three of them.  Although I'm not quite sure what happened at the lake but Hunter ended up with two black eyes and a bloody nose by the end of the trip.  Blaine wouldn't give me a lot of details though."

"That does it, I'm pulling out the razor blades.  Military Boy is gonna get it..."

My eyes go wide as I look from Sebastian to Hunter, they heard it too and both boys are noticeably alarmed.  Sebastian's arms tighten around my waist protectively, almost painfully.  Hunter drops my hand so fast, terrified of Santana's wrath.

I'm contemplating an good exit strategy when they almost reach us, Santana looks absolutely pissed.  Rescue comes from two sources, one almost expected, one completely out of the blue.

Puck appears out of no where, drinks in hand and starts passing them out to the advancing teens.  "Satan, Berry, Hummel.  Leave them alone.  She's happy, Smythe and Clarington are good for her.  Shannon's a great influence on them too.  I mean when was the last time any of those Warblers tried to sabotage us?  And come on, this twisted little thing inspired a kick ass song.  That WON us the competition.  Plus they're super hot."

Rachel and Kurt are speechless. Cara, Quinn, Mercedes and Tina are observing cautiously from the outskirts. Some of the Warblers are watching as well: Trent, Jeff, Nick, Thad. Santana tries to push him aside.  "Puckerman, you stay here and I crack one of your nuts." Puck glances at us over his shoulder but still raises his hands as he steps aside.

I'm cringing as she keeps coming closer. Sebastian just winds his arms around me even tighter and despite his better judgement Hunter grabs for my hands again, sneaking a quick look at me. "Anderson, she's going to hurt me isn't she?" Fear flickers through his beautiful moss green eyes as I whisper back. "Clarington, pretty sure she's going to hurt both of us." Sebastian is practically vibrating underneath me with anger, rage. "No one is laying a finger on you, Love."

He takes a deep breath and gently eases me off his lap, pushing me in Hunter's direction. Hunter's arms instinctively pull me closer to him, cradling me to his chest protectively as Sebastian rises to his feet. His fists balled up at his sides, jaw set, face stern.

If this wasn't such a terrifying situation right now I would be completely turned on by Sebastian's display of dominance.

Right before Santana reaches us a flurry of blonde hair darts in front of her, separating her from us. Brilliant blue eyes flash quickly towards me and then turn back to Santana. "Sanny, leave them alone. Shanny is so cute with Sebby. They're all Beauty and the Beast fairytale. But I've seen her with Jamie too, when they think no one is paying attention. And they are just so precious together. Little Dancing Dolls."

Sebastian cocks his head to the side, trying to take in Brittney's words. Hunter and I share a look, he whispers to me, "Angel, when did she see us?  I thought we were being careful"  I give a quick glance back towards Santana.  She is staring at Brittney as if trying to comprehend what she just heard.  I whisper back to Hunter, "Hunt, I have no clue.   But she keeps popping up when we are in some pretty compromising positions."  He hums as he remembers and then nods at me.

"Britt, hun, please step aside. I needs to slap some sense into the Water Sprite and send her Dancer Boy packing."

Sebastian's voice is stern, not very loud but strong and clear as a bell. "Shaqueera, I normally would shy away from hitting a girl but for you I'm willing to make an exception. You won't touch her. Not unless you want to join your relatives in prison."

Sebastian...

Sebastian looks back at me, curled up in Hunter's arms, and sighs.  He rakes his fingers through his hair.  "What would you rather I do Pretty Girl?"  I reach out, grabbing one of Sebastian's hands and look from him to Hunter.  Then I switch my gaze to the group in front of us.  "Tana, Rach, Kurt, um.... Guys, I can explain."  Santana taps her foot impatiently, she examines her nails before crossing her arms over her chest and huffing out a response.  "Fine.  Speak Hobbit."

I take a shaky breath, unsure of where to start.  Sebastian squeezes my hand reassuringly while Hunter pulls me closer to his side, one arm wrapped around my waist. I don't even recognize the sound of my own voice when I begin to speak, I sound very scared, small and nervous. "Hey guys. Well you already know Bas, my lovely fiancé." Sebastian smiles back at me before he turns back to look at everyone else. I gesture slightly to Hunter, lifting up our intertwined hands some before letting them fall back to my lap. He presses a small kiss to my temple as I speak again. "Well, um, you've all met Hunter before. He's my boyfriend..."
