"Oh Hell to the No. What are you doing with his shirt?"

"So the Water Sprite and the Twink? Wanky!"

"Are you dating the Meerkat?!"

Here we go again......

I feel my face growing warm with a mixture of embarrassment and anger as I spin around to face all of them. Blaine is sitting with his face in his hands just shaking his head. He can't believe this anymore than I can.  I fix my gaze towards Mercedes and Kurt. They flinch because of the venomous glares I give them. Everyone else in the room is just deathly quiet. I'm not one to mess with when I'm angry.

"Excuse me?! But what is it of any concern of you? I'm a big girl and I can make my own decisions on guys, thank you very much."

Mercedes instantly looks like she regrets saying anything. But Kurt, much to Blaine's dismay keeps up with it. "But.... but he isn't a nice person. He's just trying to use you to get to Blaine."

At that Blaine loses his composure as well, coming to stand by my side. He grasps my hand protectively. We've always had each other's backs.  Two angry Andersons. Not a good thing at all.

"How many times must I tell you?! You have NOTHING to worry about. At least not with Sebastian!! But you will have something to worry about if you don't stop this RIGHT NOW!"

Mr Schue chooses that moment to walk in just as I hear Puck mumble.  "Is it bad that seeing them both angry like that turns me on? I thought Rachel was hot when she was mad, but these two top that!"

At least that breaks the tension for a moment or two. Mr Schuester finally notices the standoff that is happening in front of him. "Guys what's going on?"

"They seem to be taking an offense to something in my personal life."

Rachel decides to speak up at that point.  "Shannon's apparently dating Sebastian. I remember how when I dated Jesse everyone said it was a distraction and that he was using me. And now she's with a Warbler!"

"I'm not like you Rachel! And Sebastian is NOTHING like Jesse. None of you know anything about him. It has nothing to do with him being a Warbler. If I were dating Jeff or Nick or even Thad all of you would be fine with it.  But because it's Sebastian. He isn't using me. Unlike all of you I've actually taken the time to talk to him. I know the REAL Sebastian."

With that I sit back down next to Artie. Blaine is still on my side. "You guys didn't see the two of them together yesterday. Sebastian is a completely different person with her. Trent told me he saw the two of them talking and Sebastian was actually smiling. Honest to goodness smiling. She makes him better. And oddly enough he makes her happy." He abandons his seat next to Kurt and comes to sit next to me instead.

Now that the choir room is somewhat back in order Mr Schue starts his lesson for the day. But I'm still fuming inside and tune him out. I whisper to Blaine at my side, "I'm sorry if I messed things up with you and Kurt."

He squeezes my hand and quickly shakes his head. "It isn't your fault Shann. He needs to get over himself. He hasn't seen you together, I have. And I trust your judgement. Remember, I will always have your back."

Thankfully the bell rings so I can escape the choir room. Before I can leave though I'm stopped by Santana and Brittney. "Yo, Water Sprite. So you and the Warbler Captain, huh? I admit he is SUPER hot. Isn't he Brit-Brit?" Brittney nods. "Sanny, he's super pretty. And Shanny is a pretty pretty princess. They will have such pretty singing babies!!" She claps her hands enthusiastically.

"Um okay. Well thanks for the support you guys. Seb's actually really sweet to me. Well I've got to get to class." I leave then to finish the rest of my school day. So much for my good mood.

**after school**

I grab my things from my locker and head towards my car eager to meet up with Sebastian. Rachel tries to stop me to talk. "Shann do you have time? I wanted to say I was sorry for everything earlier."

I brush her off and continue to my car. Calling over my shoulder, "Rach can we just talk later? I'm kind of in a hurry." She nods and I reach my car. Tossing my school bag in the back seat I get in and drive the short distance to the Lima Bean.

Entering the coffee shop I look around for Sebastian. I spot a guy in a Dalton blazer at a table. He looks up and I see a familiar pair of enticing green eyes. Sebastian smiles at me and holds up a coffee cup. I see another one already on the table. He got my coffee for me. How sweet!!

I reach his table, sliding into the seat across from him as he hands me the cup. "Sebby, you ordered my coffee for me?? You're the sweetest!!" I take a sip. "Sebastian?!" He smirks at me. "Yes Princess?" "You remembered my coffee order!"

He reaches across the table and grabs my hand. "Honestly Love, what kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" My eyes fly open wide. "Seb, is that an official offer?"

He moves his chair next to me and turns me to face him. "Yes Pretty Girl. Will you be my girlfriend?  I mean you're already broadcasting our relationship by wearing my hoodie to school.  So..."

I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into a kiss. We keep kissing for a few minutes when I finally pull away. "Is that enough of a response for you Bastian??"

Sebastian chuckles at me, wrapping his arm around my waist and kissing my neck. "I'll take that as a yes then. So Princess how was your day?"

I groan and roll my eyes at the memory. "Well it seems my wardrobe caused a ruckus in glee this morning." He finishes my thought as if reading my mind. "Let me guess, Kurt had some nasty things to say about me?"

I turn to face him giggling and gently tap my finger on his nose. "Ding, ding, ding. You're right!!" He laughs too. "So what's my prize?" I lean in and kiss his nose.

Once resettled in my seat I continue. "He was freaking out. I just exploded on him. And Blaine actually did too. He's so worried about you tearing his relationship apart that that he's torpedoing it himself. I was eternally grateful for my cousin at that time."

Sebastian pulls me in to a cuddle. He runs his hands soothingly through my hair. "I'm so sorry Love. I didn't mean to come between your friends."

I sit back up and look at him. His eyes shine with such love and sincerity. Why can't any of them realize that this IS what he is really like? "It's okay Sebby. They'll just have to deal with it. On a lighter note, Santana and Brittney approve." "Latina and Flighty Cheerios? I nod. "Santana thinks you're SUPER hot." He blushes as I continue. "And Brittney thinks I'm a pretty pretty princess. So we'll have such 'pretty singing babies'."

Sebastian raises an eyebrow at me with a mischievous gleam in his eyes. "So babies?? Perhaps we should get on that." And he starts tickling me. I can't help it and succumb to my giggles.

At that moment we hear someone say our names.

??: Sebastian, Shannon? Can we talk??
