Chapter 1/2
Sebastian walks up the stairs, after he throws a quick hello into the kitchen where Burt is sitting.
He knows this house like his own, he knows that he doesn't have to ring the doorbell to get inside, he knows there are 14 steps on the stairway up to the room where he is heading, he knows that he only have to knock two times on the door he is standing in front of right now, before there will be a voice sounding from the inside.
"Sebastian, you don't have to knock, you know that. Just come inside."
But Sebastian keeps knocking on the door anyway, just because he likes to annoy Kurt a little bit.
The two of them have been friends since they were 6 years old, when Sebastian had seen Kurt on one of the swings at the playground going higher than he ever had dared.
He had walked over standing in front of the swing looking at the blue eyed boy.
Kurt had slowed down and jumped down and presented himself to Sebastian and asked if he wanted to play.
Sebastian had told him that he really wanted to learn how to go that high on the swing set, but that he didn't know how to do that.
Then Kurt had tried explaining how, but then quickly picked up on that it was actually because the green eyes boy was afraid of heights.
"Don't worry Sebastian, I will protect you from now on and forever ever and catch you if you ever falls down." Kurt had promised that day. Sebastian had smiled so big and hugged Kurt so hard that they both tumbled down to the ground, which had only made the blue eyed boy complain about getting stains on his new shirt and Sebastian to just laugh even more.
Since then the two of them had been best friends.
But back to the current day. Sebastian knocks two times on the door, but when he doesn't get a "Come in" from Kurt he tries again. When he still doesn't get a reply, he just decides to do as Kurt always tell him to do and walks in.
As he turns the doorknob and peeps his head around the door to greet his best friend, the sight is clearly not what he is expecting. Not at all.
Kurt is laying on his bed, headphones on and his laptop beside him, but what surprised Sebastian is the clothes or well the lack of clothes on the blue eyed boy. Because from what Sebastian can see he is not wearing any. - Given his pale lean back is on full display and wait is that a naked thigh he can see?
Sebastian is standing in the doorway turning his head a little to see and that is where Kurt decide to turn around and he squeaks and scrambles with the blanket lying beside him.
"Seb…. What the fuck?"
Sebastian's eyes snaps up to Kurt's and he don't really know what to respond, because he was totally just ogling his best friend.
"Ehmm… Hi." He stammers out, scratching his neck.
"What are you doing?" Kurt asks and looks the green eyed boy up and down, but gives him a smile.
Sebastian breathes out a little and offers his own smile.
"I knock, but you didn't answer, so I just walked in like you always tell me to do… I… I didn't expect you too.. Ehh.. To do that…" He walks over and picks up a shirt from the floor, before he sits down on the bed beside Kurt, offering him the piece of clothing.
"Thank you…" Kurt takes the shirt and puts it on.
The two of them sits in silence before they finally look at each other and bursts out laughing.
"Oh.. My fuck Kurt… Getting dirty this early in the day." Sebastian says between laughs and then just laughs even more when Kurt hits him with a pillow.
"You're an ass you know that?.. You do that too, I know." Kurt says.
"I sure do.." Sebastian agrees and wiggles his eyebrows, laughing again when Kurt leans over hiding his face on his shoulder.
An hour later they've agreed to sit down and watch a movie, the lion king three - the one from Timon and Pumba's perspective.
"Sugar asked if I would come to this party on Saturday.." Sebastian says and stretches out his legs, knocking his feet against Kurt's thighs.
"Okay…." Kurt says off looking over at Sebastian.
"I.. I mean I want to go, but she can be a little too much you know.. I mean she is hot, sure, but I don't know if I actually want to be with her you know?" Sebastian explains.
Kurt just keeps looking at him and shrugs his shoulders.
"Then don't go." He suggests and turns to looks at the movie again.
Sebastian stares at the blue eyed boy "Kurt, that is so not helping.. I want to go but I don't want to go.. Don't you get that… I.. I thought I could get some help deciding." Sebastian pouts and sits up on his knee.
"I don't get the big problem.. I mean if you think Sugar is nice then go and have fun with her, if not then don't go or I don't know.. go alone." Kurt says and looks over at him.
Sebastian grins at him "See that is why I need your help to figure out things like … Hey! What do you mean I can go alone? You will be there, so I won't be there by myself."
"I don't think I wanna go." Kurt says and tucks his legs closer, not looking over at Sebastian.
Sebastian frowns, because why wouldn't Kurt want to go. He likes music and dancing and if Sebastian have anything to say he sure knows how to move his body.
"What do you mean, you can't just abandon me there all alone." Sebastian says and crawls over, sitting close beside Kurt.
"I just don't feel like it… And.. You probably will be busy with Sugar or… or another girl, to even care if I'm there." Kurt says and looks down at his feet, his fingers playing with an invisible thread on the bed.
Sebastian shakes his head and frowns again, because that is just pure lunatic.
"Kurt.. Stop that.. You know that is not true.. " He says and scoots over to tilt his best friends face up and gives the blue eyed boy a smile when he finally does look at him.
"Of course I would care if you weren't there.. I always care". Sebastian says.
"Really?" Kurt asks and blinks up at him.
"Always." Sebastian's confirms and hugs the other boy.
Saturday is coming and Sebastian is standing beside his car, waiting for Kurt to show up.
When he finally does Sebastian winks at him telling him he looks great, which make Kurt blush and Sebastian to just laugh at him.
They drive together to the party, Sebastian is delighted that he convinced Kurt to come and when they walked up the path towards the house where the party is being held, he is even happier for Kurt being there beside him, when he suddenly have his arms full of Sugar.
"Bassy boy, I knew you would come." Sugar squeals a little too loud for Sebastian's taste and she hugs him tight. Sebastian looks to the side seeing Kurt making a face at the girl and he cannot help but grin a little.
"Sugar." Is all he says, then the brown haired girl takes his hand and guides him inside.
"They totally played our song earlier. And if you just had come earlier we would totally have danced to that one..." Sugar says and beams.
Sebastian just looks at her because he doesn't have a clue about what she is talking about. They have a song?
"...And then we can just do that now?" Sugar is still talking and Sebastian looks back to the girl.
"Ehh.." He says, because he don't know what she is talking about.
But obviously Sugar doesn't seem to mind, she just leans up and kisses his cheek
"You are so sweet." She says and begins to dance.
Sebastian shrugs his shoulder, he isn't one to argue about that. A compliment is a compliment.
He looks around trying to locate Kurt, and when he finally sees his best friend, he can't help but frown, because of course Kurt would be talking to Hunter. The number one ass hat in their class.
"I think the next song is a slow one." Sugar whispers from beside him.
"What?" Sebastian asks and looks at her.
"Slow Dance." Is all Sugar answers and then her arms is around his neck.
Sebastian let his own arms settle around her small waist, but can't help but let his eyes flicker over to where Kurt is standing from time to time.
When the song ends, Sugar is resting her head against Sebastian's chest and though it is quite a nice feeling, Sebastian isn't enjoying that as much as he could be, because he can't seem to find Kurt anywhere.
"Bassy boy, could you try and stand still." Sugar asks and looks up at the boy.
She just wants to be able to enjoy a slow dance with this handsome boy, if just he would stop moving his head so much and stop looking around for Kurt.- The so called best friend.
"I can't find Kurt." Sebastian answers and looks down, trying to give the girl a smile.
"He is probably off somewhere having fun of his own." Sugar suggests and flutters her eyelashes.
She sure is pretty, her eyes definitely are. Sebastian thinks, though he prefer blue ones.
"I just wants to know he is alright." Sebastian says.
"Can't you two be apart for just one night?" Sugar frowns and takes a step back, her hands on her hips.
"Ehh.. What do you mean?" Sebastian asks.
Sugar looks at him, blinking, then seems to come to some sort of decision.
She walks over and settles her hands around Sebastian's neck.
"Bassy boy.. You must know by now that I like you.. And I thought that this would maybe be our night." Sugar explains.
"Our night?" Sebastian just repeats.
"Yeah, OUR night." Sugar agrees, trying to emphasize what she means.
Sebastian looks at her and ohh..
"What.. you..but.. What?"
"As I said I like you Bassy boy… Don't you like me?" Sugar asks and get up on her toes, leaning in a little.
Sebastian shakes his head and takes a step back, which makes Sugar to almost fall forward face against the floor.
"What are you doing?" Sugar asks and looks around the people that have begun to gather around the two.
"I… I like you, but not that way.." Sebastian stammers out.
Sugar glares at him and crosses her arms.
"Why didn't you tell me that before?" Sugar asks, but she is still glaring at him, so instead feeling like she is asking of empathy, it feels more like an interrogation.
"I didn't thought it was important.." Sebastian stutters and takes a step back.
"You didn't thought telling me would important?" Sugar repeats.
"Fuck.. Why do you have to twist my words so much… Don't you just get that it's you I just don't like." Sebastian spits out, because gees why can't the girl take a hint. He takes a breath and collect his thought so he doesn't say something stupid.
"Because what? You don't like me… Maybe you rather wanted Kurt to be the one you were slow dancing with?" Sugar accuses.
And what the fuck? Sebastian thinks, why would she throw Kurt in all this.
"Maybe you want his hands around you?" Sugar keeps going.
"I'm not.." Sebastian says, and okay we can all agree that is the lamest attempt for a comeback he have ever given.
"I don't believe you. All the boys here would be happy to dance with me, but you won't." Sugar continues. "You just want it to be a boy."
And Sebastian knew that he should have kept his mouth shut, but he can't help it, sometimes his mouth makes its own decision and his brain is like ten seconds too late to catch up.
So he can't really help it when he just narrows his eyes at the brown haired girl and spits out.
"Yes i do. And so what?"
Sugar stops her rambling and looks up, clearly not expecting Sebastian to agree with her.
Then she scrunches her eyes at him, looks him over one time, and then turns on her heels and walks away.
Sebastian is standing alone on the dance floor, looking after the girl, when he feels a hand on his shoulder.
"Sebastian?"
He turns around and can't help the smile forming on his lips when he sees that it is Kurt.
"I couldn't find you." Sebastian blurts out and takes a step towards the blue eyed boy.
"Was that why you decided to make a scene?" Kurt asks, a smile playing on his lips.
"Ehm.." Sebastian looks down, because okay yeah that was quite a scene. "It worked didn't it?"
Kurt laughs "You are such a dork sometimes."
Sebastian looks at him "Yeah probably, but you like me anyway." He says and sticks out his tongue.
Kurt tilts his head "Come on, let's dance"
Sebastian beams at the boy and agrees to do just that.
They must have danced for an hour, maybe more, because Sebastian's feet are beginning to hurt.
"Can we take a break?" He asks.
Kurt agrees and they head out, to where the music is quieter.
They find two chairs and sits down, after Sebastian goes over to pick up two cokes for them.
Handling Kurt the diet one, then he sits down on the chair beside him.
"So, where were you earlier?" Sebastian asks and takes a zip of his coke.
"It doesn't matter" Kurt says and looks down, twirling his bottle in his hands.
"What do you mean it doesn't matter?" Sebastian asks, because he knows Kurt, he knows that when he is avoiding a certain topic he looks down like that.
Kurt doesn't answer, so Sebastian's scoots his chair closer.
"Did Hunter say something?" He asks, and Kurt's head snaps up so quickly that he almost knocks Sebastian in the face.
"I saw you were talking to him earlier". Sebastian explains further.
"Oh… I did… But it doesn't matter." Kurt repeats again.
Sebastian frowns, because he is not stupid something is definitely wrong. So he gets down on his knees in front of Kurt and takes his hand.
"Kurt.. You know you can talk to me.."
"OH MY GOD!"
Both men looks up, when they hear the scream beside them.
Three girls are standing in front of them
"Sugar was so right.. "
Sebastian looks up at Kurt and furrows his brows, then back at the girls
"Right, about what?" He asks, still holding Kurt's hands.
"That you two are together" One blonde girl says.
"Together?" Sebastian asks.
"Yeah.. Like in love and all that.." Another blonde girl says, then they run off.
Sebastian looks over at Kurt, seeing his best friend sitting, staring rather strange on the spot where the blonde girls had been standing. Sebastian tilts his head and tries to read the face Kurt was sporting, but he couldn't seem to figure it out.
"Kurt?" Sebastian asked and squeezed the boy's hand.
Kurt snapped his eyes up to look at him. "Why do you still hold my hand?"
Sebastian looked down on their joined hands, he didn't know what to say, because it wasn't like holding Kurt's hand was anything new, come to think of it, it was something they did almost every day.
"Because I like holding your hand!" He replied, trying to give the blue eyed boy a smile.
Kurt looked down, but Sebastian could sense a hint of a smile tugging at the left side of his lips.
"You're such a dork." Kurt murmured
Sebastian stood up grinning at his friend.
"Yeah, but you like me anyway."
Kurt smiled a real smile this time when he looked at him.
"I really do" He said and took a step forward, holding out his arms.
Sebastian beamed and stepped in, hugging his best friend, smiling at the feeling when he hugged him even closer.
"You're not bothered by what they said?" Kurt whispered against his shoulder, where his forehead where resting.
Sebastian blinked, because at first he wasn't sure what Kurt was referring to "Not in the slightest." Sebastian said and let his hands hold a little bit tighter around his best friend, smiling at the thought of how his Kurt fit into his arms.
Then an idea stuck his mind.
"I actually got an idea.. If you're up for it?"
Kurt lifted his face to look at the boy.
"What is it?"
"We could give the girls something to talk about… I mean we could pretend that we actually are together." Sebastian grinned.
Kurt stood staring up at the boy. Was Sebastian really asking him to pretend to be together?
"You want us to kiss?" Kurt knew his voice must at least have gone up too high and he cursed because of it.
Sebastian grinned even more and smirked "Uhm… Yes!"
"You're unbelievable, Sebastian… I… I don't want to to.. "
Sebastian made a kissing face and Kurt shoved him away.
"Come on Kurt.. You don't want to be with me?" Sebastian pouted.
Kurt couldn't help but laugh at how adorable his best friend looked. If only Sebastian knew the truth!
So he tried to come up with asking about why Sebastian wanted to do that.
"Do you think Sugar will stop bothering you, if she found out we were...ehh.." He trailed off.
Sebastian tilted his head "Haven't thought about that actually, but yes I believe so".
Kurt gaped a little at him, if Sebastian hadn't meant it like that, why would he want to do that then.
Sebastian's voice cut him out of his thoughts "Do you want too?"
Kurt would have wanted to scream and yell at Sebastian, because YES he wanted to, he wanted to for the last two years.
"Sure… I mean if it will help you out" He shrugged his shoulders, trying not to think of the screaming little voice in his head.
Sebastian fist bombed the air and took a hold of Kurt's hand and began walking inside the house again.
Kurt looked down at where their hands yet again were connected, he felt his cheeks heat up and he looked up when they stepped into the dance floor again.
"Dance with me." Sebastian whispered and let his arms rest on either side of Kurt's hips.
Kurt gulped once and he would have said something, maybe even protested a little bit, if he hadn't just forgot how to speak the English language. So instead he took a deep breath and let his arms around Sebastian's neck, looking up into his eyes.
Sebastian beamed at him.
The music drifted to another number, then a second and a third. And they stayed there, swaying together.
Kurt could feel his heart beat in tune with the bass and when he took the chance and look up, he was welcomed with a smile from Sebastian, who made his knees almost give away under him, if it wasn't for the strong arms holding him up.
Sebastian kept looking to the sides, because he really wanted to see the face on Sugar when she saw him dancing with Kurt, because he was so so tired of all her attempts to make a move on him.
He felt Kurt's eyes on him and looked down, he couldn't help but smile when he saw how his best friend's eyes shined in the light. He had always thought Kurt had the most amazing eyes, like a rainbow made of grey and blue with a hint of green when the light hit them right.
But right now, when he smiled like that and his eyes shined like that, right now he was just beautiful.
