If anyone asked them if they were dating, the answer would be no. Their dynamic worked for them. Just casual friends who happened to like to fuck on occasion.
It had been a random meet up that had led to catching up, discovering they could actually stand each other than one day deciding to put their apparent sexual tension to the test. This was decided over drinks, but a few weeks on and their causal sex plan was working well. Kurt didn't want another relationship after his last one with Adam ended a short time ago and Sebastian preferred casual sex. So they began to sleep together, It was casual those few weeks but then slowly things began to change.
Soon they were spending more time together outside of sex and what used to be the odd catch up for coffee. They were now going to dinner, catching movies and sometimes holding hands. But they were not together. It was this pattern that led to a chain of events that shaped Kurt and Sebastian's relationship and created the path for something more than friend's with benefits. This is their process to discovering that.
The time that Sebastian Smythe showed jealousy-
It was around their two month mark of sex with the added time being spent together that Sebastian acted differently towards Kurt. Kurt had always known Sebastian was a jealous person, that wasn't news to him but Kurt had never been the reason of Sebastian's jealousy before. He had only seen Sebastian jealous of him in the sense he had wanted Blaine.
This time it was different. He didn't like when someone else was paying attention to Kurt...
They were just leaving their favourite coffee shop, cups in hand when a nervous looking man approached them.
"Um, excuse me, I was wondering if I could have your number" he asked, his eyes on Kurt.
"Me" Kurt questioned, not aware of Sebastian begining to scowl.
"Um yeah" the guy began, he started to hand his phone over before Sebastian shoved him back and placed an arm around Kurt's shoulders.
"He's not interested and you're not good enough for him anyway" Sebastian snapped.
The man shrunk back before pocketing his phone and hurrying away.
Kurt removed Sebastian's arm and stormed on ahead.
"Seriously he couldn't even ask you out properly" Sebastian complained as they walked down the street.
Kurt seethed before he couldn't keep it in any more and turned around to face Sebastian.
"What was that?" he snapped.
"I took the liberty of turning the poor loser down for you. He isn't your type" Sebastian retorted, taking a sip of coffee then smirking. "You're welcome" he finished.
"I didn't thank you. Why did you not let me decide for myself. I'm not a puppet Sebastian" Kurt demanded.
"I thought we had plans to screw tonight and I didn't want Sir Shakes a lot to ruin them" Sebastian snapped.
"We're not boyfriends so I could have easily taken that number or anyone elses for that matter" Kurt hissed.
"Right, well fine then. Go back and get his number but don't bother coming over tonight" Sebastian shouted before hurrying off leaving Kurt standing in the street.
Kurt headed home a short time later and was barely in his door before Sebastian was calling him.
"You have some apologizing to do?" Kurt snapped as soon as he hit answer on his phone, he sat on his couch and waited Sebastian's reply.
"I know, I just really think you could do better. Guess my jealousy got the better of me" Sebastian answered.
"Yeah, besides I can decide for myself. Though you're right, he isn't my type" Kurt answered.
"Then you should thank me" Sebastian joked.
"I would rather punish you" Kurt said.
Sebastian chuckled.
"So it wasn't anything else than. You have no reason to be jealous as we know what this is" Kurt said.
"No worries ok babe, I know what this is. I was more concerned of you ditching me tonight when we have such great sex lined up" Sebastian joked.
"Well you sound so sure of yourself. I'm on my way soon ok. Make sure you have the ties ready" Kurt answered.
"Will do" Sebastian answered.
The time they fight and become closer-
"Why the hell not Kurt" Sebastian snapped, throwing the invitation on the table in anger.
Kurt winced as he stepped back, eyeing Sebastian.
The fight had come out of no where, they were spending time at Sebastian's when he brought up the idea of Kurt being his plus one to his sister's wedding.
Kurt had refused, thinking it wouldn't be a good idea as they weren't dating. Sebastian took offence and a fight began.
"I just think it would be weird if you took me since we're just friends with benefits, what if someone asked what we are? What would I say" Kurt replied carefully, hoping to not fuel Sebastian's rage.
His comment only made Sebastian more angry. "Fuck, I thought we were friends, that's what you would say if someone asks" Sebastian snapped.
"But we're friend's with benefits and I'm sure they don't go to weddings together" Kurt answered weekly.
"So that's what you think of me, I'm just some guy who get's your dick hard, that I'm just good for sex and nothing else." Sebastian snapped.
Kurt recoiled at that, his eye's watering slightly. "No but You used to think like that" he said softly.
"With people I don't give a fuck about, not you. It's different with you, I thought you knew that Kurt" Sebastian hissed.
"How am I supposed to know that ok. I'm not a mind reader. You fuck me but you fuck everyone else too. This is what you needed and so did I. Casual sex" Kurt snapped, folding his arms across his chest.
"It's only you" Sebastian retorted.
"What" Kurt answered.
"I only fuck you. No one else, why would I. You satisfy me enough. Why would I go looking only to get lousy sex or what ever when I have a regular thing going and with someone who happens to be pretty great both outside the bedroom and in it." Sebastian said.
Kurt felt a small smile tugging at his lips, Sebastian raised his eye brow.
"You think I'm amazing?" Kurt asked, walking slowly towards Sebastian.
"Yeah when you're not being insane, like now" Sebastian trailed off, smiling himself.
"Yeah, I'm a pretty insane person. Insanely good at making you come undone" Kurt purred, reaching up to Sebastian's shoulders and gripping them as he pressed forward and kissed Sebastian hard.
Sebastian kissed back before pulling away, his eyes dark.
Kurt looked over at the invitation before grabbing it and signing his name in the plus one section.
"Changed your mind did you" Sebastian said.
"Yeah, sorry for being difficult before. I do care about you" Kurt murmured, reaching up and running his hand through Sebastian's hair.
"Yeah you do, think you should go to the bedroom, lie down and wait for me" Sebastian said.
Kurt smirked and nodded before making his way to the bed room.
"Make sure you get the ties out" Sebastian called after him. Kurt grinned to himself.
The time Kurt wear's Sebastian's shirt.
Kurt get's back to his apartment early Monday to get ready for work, after staying at Sebastian's.
He is just heading to his room when he passes the mirror in Rachel's room and notices something different.
Kurt walks over to the mirror and fingers the shirt he is wearing, it's not his own. He was sure he put his shirt on this morning but the one he is wearing has a Superman logo. Kurt's shirt was the same colour but no picture were on the front as it was designer.
He must of been tired if he was able to mix up his shirt with this one. Kurt hurried back to his room and grabbed his phone from his pocket, only to notice a text from Sebastian.
S-'Think you took my shirt by mistake ;)'
Kurt clicked his tongue and texted back:
K-'Do you want me to bring it back now :P'
S-That's OK. I'm sure it looks good on you. Keep it for now and bring it back later'
K- OK, horny bastard ;)
Kurt chuckles to himself before putting the phone on his bedside table. He takes off the shirt and fingers the material for a bit, finding himself smiling faintly. He brings the shirt up to his nose and takes a little sniff. He can smell Sebastian faintly beneath his own smell. He stands there with the shirt pressed to his face for long time till he snaps out of it and throws the shirt on his bed. He marks up what happened as a moment of insanity and hurries to get ready for work.
This apparent moment of insanity should be what wakes Kurt up to how he feels but it doesn't. It isn't till a short time later that he does wake up. This is the last moment in the process and is the one that changes everything. For the better.
The time Kurt say's those three words-
It's where Kurt is safely tucked up under Sebastian's arm. They are in a hotel, in San Francisco for Sebastian's sisters wedding. Kurt of course went as Sebastian's plus one. They spent the day telling everyone they were good friends, neither noticed the looks Sebastian's sister gave them when they said that though.
They didn't think much of how close they danced together or when they sneaked glances at each other when they thought the other wasn't looking. They were acting as a couple without realizing it.
Later on they went to the hotel they were staying in and fell into bed, instead of their usual fast hurried sex, they were slow and moved together with purpose. They even came together and looked into each others eyes too. They by all means, made love.
It was here, lying against Sebastian, his heart beating fast from the intense orgasm, that Kurt felt a blissful feeling washing over him that was both from the sex and something else. Kurt looked up at Sebastian and felt his heart do a tug and this was definitely not just the sex. Kurt felt something over whelm him and before he could stop himself, he was saying it: "I love you"
Sebastian blinked and looked at Kurt, who felt his heart begin to sped up for different reason, it was panic.
"Um I'm sorry" Kurt spluttered, turning away and feeling his face heat up.
"Kurt look at me" Sebastian murmured, Kurt closed his eyes and counted slowly before forcing himself to look at Sebastian.
"Did you mean it?" Sebastian asked, Kurt swore he could see hope in Sebastian's eyes.
Kurt felt the same pull in his heart and knew he couldn't go back. The feeling had simmered beneath he surface for so long and now it was finally out. He wasn't going to deny what he obviously felt.
"Yes, I love you" Kurt answered.
Sebastian grinned and Kurt felt relief flood through him.
"I love you too" Sebastian said before kissing Kurt hard on the mouth. They kissed slowly before pulling away.
"I can't believe I never realised till now" Kurt whispered, cuddling closer while Sebastian ran his fingers through his hair.
"I have noticed changes between us. I mean we have been sort of dating for a little while" Sebastian said.
"What" Kurt said in surprise.
"Come on babe, we spend so much time together. You send me texts saying you miss me and you never gave me my shirt back" Sebastian replied.
"I get it and you're right. I've noticed that you always seem to want to spend heaps of time with me and you let me cry on your shoulder last week when I sprained my ankle tripping over your coffee table which is so low to the ground." Kurt murmured, reaching up and tracing his fingers over Sebastian's chest.
"Yeah, should probably buy a new one" Sebastian answered.
"Yeah, so um what is this then" Kurt asked, looking up at Sebastian, who just shock his head in amusement.
"I thought we established that" Sebastian said. "We're dating'
"We said we're dating without knowing it. So until you ask me out, we're just dating unknowingly" Kurt said.
Sebastian laughed and squeezed Kurt closer.
"OK then, Kurt will you like to get dinner with me and make this official?" Sebastian asked.
Kurt grinned. "Oh Bas, I thought you would never ask" he joked.
Sebastian just smirked before tilting his head closer to Kurt's.
"Shut up and kiss me hun" he said.
Kurt chucked and answered with "As you wish" before kissing his boyfriend.
They would probably have drama, have times where they could probably hurt each other. Their intense personalities would create a lot of fights but it would always lead to make up sex. Neither would give up on the other as in the end it would be worth it.
After all it was True love
