Warbler Infections

Chapter 5: "You look-damn"

I had spent the rest of the night working on the next part of my plan. I needed to first get Sebastian to be more social, and second was for him to get Hunter's attention. My main issue was how I was going to do it subtly. I overheard Blaine on the phone talking with Trent about a Warbler movie night, perfect. This could let Seb hang out with others and I could dress him up for Hunter. This was sure to be fun.

"Hey Blaine I heard you on the phone earlier, is there going to be a movie night soon?" Blaine looked up from his phone and turned to me. "Yeah tomorrow night in Trent's dorm. All the Warblers are invited, wanna be my plus one?"

    I wasn't a Warbler yet, my audition was this Monday. "Sure, I'd love to go." I knew I wouldn't actually be watching the movie. I was on a mission.

Later that day I found Sebastian in the locker room again. This time I made sure to pull the door. "Kurt are you stalking me because I know you're not here to exercise."

      "Caught me, I don't have a clue what you were playing anyway." He chuckled. "I was playing lacrosse but I didn't expect you to know that. So what are you doing here cause I don't have any more sob stories to share." He already was acting snarkier than in our conversation yesterday.

   "You're, well we're invited to the Warblers movie night tomorrow and you're going with me." He looked panic-stricken. "I never go to those Kurt and none of them will want me there, I'll just make it awkward."

"No cause you're going to be social and talk with everyone else. If you can talk with me like you did yesterday you can do it again." He thought about it. "What's in it for me though, I'll be humiliated, alone, and bored" I had to convince him and bring out the big guns.

    "You know Hunter is going to be there right? But I guess you could spend a Friday night locked in your room reading...." "Hunter is going?" He blurted out. Got him. "Yeah and since it's after school we don't have to wear our uniforms so I could help you dress to impress your boy toy."

   He just sat in thought for a minute. "I'll go but you can't leave me by myself and I'm not going to wear any of your clothes." I squealed from excitement. "Deal. See you tomorrow at
5:00. Come to my dorm, 206 and we'll get ready. I think Blaine will already be setting up with Trent by then." And with that I left the locker room and headed back to my dorm. Triumphant again, Hummel.

The next day went by in a blur; every class felt like it was twice as long and all I could focus on was this evening. It was 4:58 and Blaine had already left to help Trent pick a movie and get the snacks. Right on time Seb knocked on the door, he was still in his uniform. I told him to bring a bag with pretty much his whole wardrobe so I could look through it all.

"Can we get this over with quickly, I've never had a fairy gaymother before and I'd like to get to the ball on time." I scoffed at his crappy joke. "Your pumpkin carriage will be right on time to take you to meet your Prince Charming, Cinderella."

    He opened his bag and I immediately rifled through all his clothes. "What about theses together?" I pulled out a charcoal grey buttoned polo and a pair of distressed black skinny jeans. "I've never worn those here, I thought people would think it's too edgy."

    I rolled my eyes. "The whole point of fashion is to do what others wouldn't expect you to do. Besides, this is simple, you can borrow my chain belt, it'll go great with it." He squinted. "I thought we agreed I wouldn't be wearing any of your stuff." I grabbed the chain belt and my black doc martins out of my closet. "Shoes don't count and belts are accessories, not clothes."

    "Fine but he better like all this." "Oh he will, I stalked his instagram and he follows tons of edgy influencers." His eyebrows furrowed. "You stalked him?" Shoot Kurt do something! "Go get dressed, killer!"

At 6:00 we arrived at Trent's dorm, I made sure not to tell Bas what time it started so we could be "fashionably late". Everyone stared at us when I pushed open the door, but I usually get weird looks when I enter a room, but all eyes were on Sebastian now.

    We headed towards Blaine who was deep in conversation with Thad. "Hey guys. Sebastian? I didn't think you would want to come." I could take care of this. "I invited him to join us, meet some new people and he is a Warbler so he's always allowed to come."

"Cool, well snacks are over there and we're staring the first Harry Potter in 5 minutes." Figures Blaine chooses Harry Potter. We grabbed some popcorn and went over to the couches. Since we came later, most of the spots were taken. I spotted Hunter on a couch with David and Wes in the corner, perfect.

     I pulled him to the couch and did the talking. "Hey guys, mind if we join you." All three boys looked at us, but then all their attention fell to Sebastian instead.

"Woah Sebastian? You never come to our movie nights!" Wes exclaimed. "Yeah", David started, "We thought you hated us." Sebastian quickly spoke up. "That's not it I think you guys are amazing , I'm just not all that social." Hunter was just staring at Seb the whole time we were chatting. "You look awesome Sebastian, I didn't think you were the edgy type."

    Sebastian looked taken back by Hunter's compliment. "Yeah must be my teen angst or something." They all laughed at his sarcasm. "So can we sit with you?" I needed them to say yes.

Hunter instantly shoved himself and the other two over so there was an extra spot. "We don't really have much room for two more people to sit comfortably." Hunter looked pained to say this.

    I had to save my plan and make a sacrifice . "That's fine. Seb can sit on the couch and I'll go on the floor." The boys shrugged and Sebastian sat down on the spot next to Hunter timidly.

    Normally I would despise sitting in the ground but not when I was playing Cupid. For the rest of the movie Hunter would whisper jokes into Sebastian's ear and he would laugh back until their voices hurt from giggling so much. At least I could also watch Blaine as he sat right in front of the tv with his eyes glued to the screen. He was like an adorable little kid.

It was getting really late and almost everyone was asleep except me and Blaine. I had to watch Hunter and Sebastian's every move and Blaine was just determined to watch the entire movie. Hunter's head was lying on Seb's lap and Sebastian's head was resting on Hunter's. They both had smiles on their faces, and it was the first genuine smile I'd seen on Sebastian. And that's the last thing I saw before fatigue took over me.

Yay me for posting two chapters in one day! This one is a little more fluffy than plot based but I think it moves the Huntbastian story along. The next chapter will be Kurt's audition for the Warblers and an introduction to David and Wes. Again don't forget to comment, vote, and follow me on my socials that are in the chapter 1 author's note! Have an awesome day, afternoon, or night. Remember you are worth everything!

Your fellow gleek
