I've been working like hell on the only Glee fanfiction you might read completely. Here's another piece I'd like you to review.

Background info: This takes place the first day of school after Blaine, Tina, and Brittany graduate. Sebastian is a senior, Cole is a junior. Cole has come out to the glee club, but has not told Sebastian how he feels yet. Oh, and over the summer they got lifeguarding jobs at the public pool.

Cole gazed over at the pool, but Sebastian’s eyes lingered on Cole. For the first time, Sebastian noticed what color his eyes were. Hazel. A really nice hazel with flecks of bright green. Sebastian found it strange that he was just noticing this now. Usually, eye color was the first thing he noticed in a person. And just like that, for the rest of the day, Sebastian couldn’t get Cole’s eyes out of his head.

Eventually, it wasn’t just his eye color that Sebastian noticed. Over the next few days, he noticed other things about Cole. There was his smile, the sound of his laugh, how he twirled his whistle on his fingers, and the way he looked at Sebastian over his sunglasses. That last one he liked a lot. He wasn’t sure what the look meant, but it stirred something inside him. It wasn’t anything he’d felt for a guy before, not even Blaine.

At first, he didn’t think too much of it. The end of the week, after his shift ended, he went to Scandals. He’d asked Cole if he wanted to come, but he said no. Sebastian went alone, like he usually did, and found a guy in half an hour, like he usually did. Or at least he thought it was a half hour. Time seemed to go faster when Sebastian was drunk. Things always started on the danced floor, and then heated up in the bathroom. Except this time, when the other guy’s pants came off, Sebastian stopped.

“Everything okay, baby?” the guy asked.

His lips were on Sebastian’s neck, and his hand was on Sebastian’s zipper. Sebastian couldn’t think of anything to say. He didn’t even know this guy’s name. When he didn’t respond, the guy took that to mean that everything was fine, and unzipped Sebastian’s jeans.

“No! No,” Sebastian said suddenly. He knocked the hand on his zipper aside and pushed the guy away. He zipped his jeans back up.

“What’s your problem?” the guy asked.

Sebastian picked his shirt up off the floor. “I just can’t do this, okay?”

“Oh, let me guess,” the guy said as Sebastian put his shirt back on. “Your boyfriend doesn’t know you’re here?”

At the word “boyfriend”, Sebastian’s mind immediately went to Cole. Sebastian pressed his lips together. “I don’t have a boyfriend.” He left without another word.

It wasn’t a crush, he had decided. It was feelings. He had developed feelings for his best friend.
