Okay so I've decided to upload it here just in case you are more comfortable reading it here. Let me know what you think! Message me on Tumblr (colfersaurusrex) if you have any questions, lovelies.
Kindergarten is a scary place. Well, for most kids anyway. And Sebastian Smythe was not most kids.
He sat in his chair with a bored expression, ignoring the coloring sheet that had been set in front of him. Really? Coloring? Sebastian had better things to do. He thought longingly of the video games he had at home, just waiting to be played and beat. No one was better at video games then Sebastian was.
He stared at the girl beside him, her face so close to her paper Sebastian thought she was thinking about eating it. She colored very meticulously, brown pigtails shaking slightly with her efforts. It was obvious she was trying to have the best colored picture in the room.
Sebastian scoffed and glanced at her nametag. Rachel Berry. Teacher's pet. Not worthy of being his friend.
He looked to his left and to his surprise, the boy beside him wasn't coloring either. He was paler than most boys and his hair looked really pretty. A boy with pretty hair? That was new.
"So why aren't you coloring?" Sebastian whispered, arms crossed tightly against his chest.
The boy glanced at the teacher busy on the computer and leaned in close. "Because Rose Art crayons suck." He flicked one away for emphasis. Rachel stiffened and looked at them with a scandalized expression. She looked like she was prepared to criticize them but stopped when she caught sight of both of the boys expressions of coldness. She instead turned back to her paper, coloring furiously.
"I have the biggest set of Crayola crayons at my house," Sebastian bragged. "I'm Sebastian, by the way."
"Kurt," the little boy said, a smile on his face.
Sebastian smiled back. Kurt definitely deserved to be his friend.
From that day forward, Kurt and Sebastian were inseparable. They were the best friends anyone could have and an invincible team. But Sebastian was a jealous friend. He couldn't help it. Kurt was his best friend but he also happened to be his only friend. For some reason, his honesty made all the other kids cry. He really didn't understand it. Kurt was the only one who not only understood him but liked him the way he was. He handled Sebastian's mean streak not only without tears but with sharp words shot right back at him. Sometimes they were mad at each other, but mostly they were impressed. Kurt was truly Sebastian's favorite thing in the whole world.
The first day Sebastian had brought Kurt to his house Kurt had looked around with wide eyes.
"Your house is so big!" Kurt gushed. "Beautiful!"
"Wait til you see my Lego collection," Sebastian said excitedly, throwing his backpack on the floor and kicking off his shoes.
"Sebastian, I hope you're bringing those to your room!" Sebastian's mother, Lydia called from the living room.
"That's why we have a maid, mother," Sebastian called back, rolling his eyes.
Sebastian spent the entire day showing off all his toys and video games grinning every time Kurt was impressed- which was often. Later, Lydia called Kurt's mom and she agreed to let Kurt spend the night.
Kurt was excited to sleep in Sebastian's bunk bed. He had never slept in a real live, actual bunk bed before. Sebastian even let him have the top bunk because he was feeling nice that day.
"Hey Kurt, are you asleep?" Sebastian whispered once his mom had come in and turned off the lights.
It took Kurt a moment to reply. "No."
Sebastian frowned. Kurt didn't sound happy. He sounded scared.
He crawled out of bed and climbed the ladder to find Kurt shaking and crying a little.
"Kurt!" Sebastian said, touching his foot through the blanket. "What's wrong?"
"I've never slept at anyone's house before," Kurt sobbed, wiping at his eyes.
"Please don't cry, Kurt," Sebastian begged. They'd had such a good day!
"I want to go home, Seb," Kurt whimpered.
"No! Please don't go!" Sebastian pleaded. "If it helps, you can sleep beside me tonight, okay? Maybe you are just scared of heights. I climb trees so I'm used to it, you see."
Kurt considered it a second before nodding, swallowing back a post-cry shudder.
Sebastian climbed down the ladder and snuggled into his bed, Kurt following after him. Kurt stopped in front of the bed, nervously playing with the sleeves of his footsie pajamas.
"Sebastian, do friends sleep in the same bed?" Kurt whispered.
"Best friends do," Sebastian whispered back confidently.
Kurt smiled and then lay down next to Sebastian. After a few minutes of silence occasionally interrupted by Kurt's sniffling, Kurt touched Sebastian's shoulder beneath the blankets.
"What?" Sebastian asked sleepily.
"You're right, I do feel better now, Seb." Kurt whispered.
"I told you so," Sebastian said back, yawning.
"Goodnight, Seb."
Sebastian smiled as his eyes fluttered closed again. "Night, Kurt."
