Twenty minutes later and I'm looking in the mirror in the bathroom fixing my makeup. I'm thankful that I decided to pull my hair into that quick ponytail earlier because it still looks fairly decent.  But my lips are slightly swollen so I don't think the red lipstick I was originally wearing is a good idea anymore.  Instead I pull a clear gloss out of my purse. 

As I go to put on my lipgloss Sebastian comes behind me and wraps his arms around my waist.  I can see him in the mirror as he kisses my neck. "Princess, I love you so very much. You know that right?"  I run the wand across my lips to put on a fresh coat then I give him a smirk through the mirror and decide to tease him.  "Seb, you aren't just saying that because I ok'd us sneaking off while the rest of our friends are out there in the club, are you?"  He spins me around and pulls me in for a hug with a chuckle.  "Shann, I am very happy that you wanted to do THAT but I loved you before any of this.  Honestly since I first laid eyes on you."

I kiss him quickly before I duck out of his grasp. "Ever the charmer Sebastian." I slip back on my heels as he checks out his own reflection in the mirror. His hair is adorably mussed but I still think he looks amazing. "Seb, no matter how much we try to make ourselves look normal, pretty sure they all have a good idea what we've been up to."

He shrugs and turns away from the mirror grabbing my hand in his. He brings it quickly up to his lips for a kiss and then intertwines his fingers with mine.   "So Love, ready to go face their questions again??"  I sigh. "As long as I have you with me I'll be fine."  With that he unlocks the bathroom door and leads me back out into the club.

Mercedes and Tina are waiting in the hallway. I'm instantly embarrassed because they just raise their eyebrows at us in a knowing fashion. I give a small wave as Sebastian laughs softly beside me. "Hi girls." They just giggle behind their hands and turn to walk back towards the main club area.  We follow after them and notice that karaoke has ended and most of our friend are now dancing to the music a DJ is playing.

I'm apprehensive to go back over to them and Sebastian senses my insecurities.  "Princess, is everything okay?"  I turn to look at him and I can see his eyes shining with concern.  "Sebby, hearing my story about J, you don't think it is odd that in a mere month our relationship has progressed so far?  We're not rushing things, are we?"  I look down again afraid of what he will say in response honestly.

Sebastian lifts my chin with his fingers so that I can look into his eyes.  He gently cups my face with one hand, reassuringly running his thumb across my cheek. "Pretty Girl, I know that to some of them it may look like we are rushing things. And honestly if I were looking at this from the outside that is most likely what I would have thought as well. But the moment I laid eyes on you it felt like we were being drawn to one another. Like I had been waiting my entire life for you to show up." He smiles softly at me and places a gentle kiss on my lips.  I smile as well and move to kiss him back when I feel a strong set of hands wrapping around my waist pulling me away.

What the f?!

My hand is yanked from Sebastian's as I am dragged across the club. I look back towards him and he is really upset right now. I struggle to get away from whoever has me. "Sebby......" He tries to come after me but is instantly surrounded by a group of Warblers and Blaine.

Crap.

I finally stop fighting and allow whoever it is to keep pulling me away. The grip on my waist disappears as I am deposited in the center of the dance floor. My friends are in front of me and I instantly turn around and slap whoever it was that grabbed me.

"Ouch! For a little thing she sure puts up a big fight. And she hits hard.  I thought Berry was bad.  Damn Anderson.... That's the last time I help you girls out!"  Puck?  Okay now I'm completely lost. I turn to glare at all of them and they flinch under my gaze. My voice is just dripping in venom as I address them. "What do you think you're doing?!"

Puck just raises his hands at me in surrender as he backs away.  "Don't blame me, I'm just the muscle here." I shift my gaze back at the girls. Kurt and Trent are surrounding me as well. I begin tapping my foot impatiently as I cross my arms in front of my chest. "I'm going to give you until the count of five to explain yourselves or I am going back over there to find Sebastian again. One. Two. Three..."

They look nervously at each other until Rachel softly blurts out, "We're just concerned..." I narrow my eyes at them until Quinn continues. "You're letting sex cloud your judgement."  I just laugh at that.  Cloud my judgement.  Really?!

Kurt tries this time.  "Now Shann, it's not like we haven't all thought about screwing that smirk off his face at one time or another."  I can't help the small smile that flickers across my face. Brittney is raising her hand in agreement, which Santana is trying to pull back down.  "Kurt, what would you do if I told Blaine that?" Kurt blushes but solemnly confesses, "By all of us I meant Blaine too. Don't ever tell him I said this because he's been practically evil to me in the past, but Sebastian's pretty hot."

They all look at me and nod in agreement. "So why do you think I'm letting sex cloud my judgment?" Santana interjects, "Come on. You let him talk you into hooking up in the bathroom!" I put up a hand to stop this conversation right then and there. "First off, that was MY idea. And secondly he has NEVER pushed me into anything. Hell, when he found out I was a virgin he was more concerned with making sure I was okay than anything else. It was honestly really sweet."

Their expressions soften slightly, this isn't the Sebastian they used to know. But still there are questions, Tina tries now. "But how much could you possibly know after only a month when you said your were with your ex for 5 months and still really didn't know him?"  This again?  This needs addressed here and now.

"Do you guys think that we spend all our time together naked?  Goodness no. We talk.... A LOT.  I know his favorite color is blue.  That he'll tell you Superman is his favorite super hero because he used to run around in the costume until he was 3 but he secretly really geeks out over the Flash.  That lacrosse is practically second nature by now because he's been playing since he was 5.  That even if he's never admitted it or shown any of you this, he is a fantastic tap dancer because his parents put him in lessons as soon as he could walk.  That some days he misses Paris and his family dearly because he is an only child.  The way his nose scrunches up slightly when he gets really excited about something.  Or my absolute favorite, how he looks like such a carefree, peaceful little boy when he is sleeping."

They are all stunned by my outburst and I take that chance to just walk away.

**Sebastian's POV**

I don't know what just happened.  One minute I'm smiling at Shannon in my arms as she leans in to kiss me. And then before our lips get the chance to touch Puck has come up behind her and picked her up, practically dragging her away. She is struggling in his arms and calling out for me. "Sebby..." I panic. I really don't know what to do. Just as I am trying to rush to get her I feel a set of hands pulling me back.

"Thad?? What is going on?! Why did he just take her away like that?" I look around confused and the rest of the Warblers in addition to Blaine are standing around me, blocking me from leaving where I am. "Bas, we need to talk."

Blaine moves to stand in front of me. "We want to make sure you're not just using her. That this isn't just about sex. You've heard what she's been through. We want to make sure of your intentions."  I give an exasperated sigh.  I thought we already cleared this up at the cafe after the Warbler party.

I just wearily shake my head and rub my eyes, feeling emotionally exhausted by this point.  Seeing her taken away like that makes me feel broken.  I look up at them and I know that they can detect the sadness in my eyes.

"Guys, I don't know how many times I can explain this to you.  I may not have always been the best person but I would change everything, give up everything to make her happy.  From the first second I looked into her big, beautiful Bambi eyes I just knew.  I understand that this all seems odd to you guys, and if I were seeing this from the outside I would think so as well.  But I don't know how else to explain it to you."  I just hang my head in defeat and try to control my emotions.  I collapse into a chair at the bar and whisper softly to them, "Please believe me.  I just love her..."

I hear mumbling and then stunned silence as I try in vain to control the tears that are threatening to over take me.  I really don't want these guys to see me like this.  Then a hand gently lifts my face and wipes the tears from my cheeks.  I open my eyes...
**end Sebastian's POV**

The boys part to let me through.  Sebastian is sitting on a bar stool with his head hanging.  His eyes are closed and he looks like he is trying not to cry.  I gently lift his chin and wipe the tears from his cheeks with my fingers.  He opens his eyes and just looks at me like he isn't sure if I am real. "Sebby, are you okay?" He wraps his arms around my waist while still in his seated position trying not to cry again. "Pretty Girl, I couldn't bare them taking you away like that."

I slowly run my fingers through his hair while I glance at the boys who surround him. They all look really remorseful now. "Do you guys get it now?" They just nod my way and leave me to console Sebastian.
