Frenemies

Sebastian had decided to take this whole business into his stride, making it a giant joke. When he first referred to it, telling Hunter to 'shut up, sub, and let me talk,' the Warblers were shocked and amused. He continued to use it until it became second nature, and people stopped shipping it because it was such a joke.

Although it was slow enough that people didn't notice, Sebastian and Hunter's arguments turned to banter. They knew they didn't hate each other, so they only joked that they did.

Soon Nationals was approaching. Hunter and Sebastian got on the bus last, making sure everyone else got on, and found that the bus was full except on seat, meaning that they'd have to sit next to each other. Sebastian took the window seat, Hunter the isle.

As the bus started up, they were all quiet with nerves. A few people started talking to each other, but Sebastian, who hadn't been sleeping well, fell asleep almost as soon as the comforting warmth of Hunter was back next to him. Hunter didn't mind even as Sebastian leaned against him, falling asleep as well.

One of the boys took a picture of them, putting it on the website with a caption of 'look! they aren't fighting for once!'

If the students didn't know them, they would probably think they were a couple in the picture. Since they did, the thought didn't cross anyone's mind.

When they finally arrived they both woke up, feeling the bus stop moving.

There was three rooms that they had- one had two beds and the other two had enough beds for all but two.

The chaperone explained the room situation. "Okay, so we have three rooms. Two of them together have enough beds for all but two of you, and the third was supposed to be two beds but something got messed up and there's only one bed." There was an outbreak of giggling. "So, since we can't fix this, two of you will have to share the third room."

"It's tradition for the captains to share the two-person room." One of the Warblers piped up, snickering.

"Oh, no. Oh, no, no, no." Hunter said, shaking his head.

"Seconded." Sebastian said, pointing at Hunter.

"You can't break tradition." Another said, sounding amused. "It messes up our performance."

Sebastian shook his head. "I don't trust having anyone alone in a bed with me. I mean, look at this fabulousness," he gestured to himself. "Who'd be able to keep their hands off me?

Everyone laughed and Hunter snorted. "Don't flatter yourself. If anything, you wouldn't be able to keep your hands off me."

"I like men, not boys." Sebastian said, patting Hunter condescendingly on the head.

There was an 'ooh' from the Warblers, but Hunter held back a smirk and faked a frown. "Sebastian, self-love is important."

They all 'ohh'ed again, and Hunter and Sebastian cracked up laughing. It was the first sign the Warblers had gotten that they weren't fighting anymore, and now they were just joking around.

Sebastian nodded through his laughter. "Yeah. For tradition, we'll take it."

The Warblers cheered, heading up to their rooms.
