Disclaimer: No, I don't own them, sadly. I do own a bottle of gin.

Midnight Kiss

Ten minutes.

Sebastian sighed. This party sucked. He'd been here for nearly four hours now and still hadn't found what he was looking for.

He made his way back to the drinks table and poured himself another gin. He surveyed the room as he sipped it, hoping to spot someone, anyone suitable. Slim pickings.

He pulled his phone from his pocket and checked the time, nine minutes. This was just getting ridiculous. There was no way he was going to be alone when the stupid ball dropped at midnight. But so far, every guy he'd considered for the position of 'midnight kiss' had turned out badly.

Several of the guys he'd flirted with had denied on the grounds of sexuality, in other words they were straight as a board and no amount of Sebastian's charm could change their minds. Shame, one or two of them were gorgeous – naming no names… Hunter.

But Sebastian even seemed to be having trouble picking up a gay guy tonight. Most of them he'd slept with before and didn't want to give them the impression he wanted to make it serious, some guys didn't seem to understand the concept of no strings attached – again, not wanting to name names but… Trent.

And then even more depressingly, there were the paired off ones, who he could never persuade away from their significant others even if said girly-dressing, gay-faced significant other were to loosen his hold on the prize for longer than three seconds – Blaine.

Sebastian downed his drink. Not that he particularly wanted Hunter, Trent or Blaine. He'd pretty much given up on all three of them, knowing he could never get what he wanted.

He was even considering moping off to his dorm room in a sulk until he spotted just who he'd been looking for. Over by the couch was a short, dark haired figure.

Sebastian smirked and weaved his way through the crowd.

"Hey sexy," he whispered into Nick's ear. Nick spun around to face him, one eyebrow raised.

"What is it, Bas?"

"I couldn't help noticing that it's, oh…" he pulled his phone out to check, "seven minutes to midnight and you're all by your lonesome." He slid one hand onto Nick's hip, pulling him closer, not noticing the way Nick's eyes flickered to something behind Sebastian. "Fancy a call?" By which, Nick of course knew he meant a booty call. They'd been friends with benefits for a while in junior year, until the unfortunate slushy incident with Blaine caused Nick to call the arrangement off.

"Hmm, let me just ask my boyfriend," Nick said, a smile spreading over his face.

"Your what?" Sebastian asked, taken aback.

"His boyfriend," a voice from behind Sebastian said. Sebastian turned around and then groaned. Jeff was standing behind him holding two bottles of beer, one of which he passed to Nick with a wide grin.

"When the hell did that happen?" Sebastian said in exasperation.

Jeff walked past Sebastian and wrapped his arm around Nick's shoulders, pressing a quick kiss to the side of his head.

"Last week," he answered. Nick looked down at his watch and grinned.

"Almost exactly seven days ago to the hour," he said to Sebastian before turning to Jeff. "It's our one week anniversary, sugar."

Jeff grinned and kissed Nick, tongues and all. Sebastian leant back and wrinkled his nose.

"Gross."

Nick and Jeff pulled apart and laughed at him.

"Jealous," Nick said.

"Yeah. Well, this was bound to happen eventually," Sebastian grumbled. "I just wish it could have waited until after New Years'."

"What's wrong, no one wants to kiss you?" Jeff mocked gently. Sebastian pouted. "Oh God, am I right? I was only joking."

"Aww, poor Bas," Nick cooed.

"Ok, I officially hate you two."

Nick caught Sebastian's wrist as he turned to storm away and pulled him back.

"I'm sure there's someone here who wouldn't object to having this piece of hot stuff stick his tongue down their throat." Nick moved closer to him, running a hand down Sebastian's chest, until Jeff slapped his hand away.

"You'd think, but I can't find anyone." Sebastian hated how whiney his voice sounded.

"If all else fails just grab the nearest person," Nick said with a shrug.

"Provided the nearest person isn't Nick," Jeff added, pulling Nick back against his chest and winding an arm around his waist. "Or Blaine. Kurt will kill you even faster than I will."

"Great advice, guys. Thanks," Sebastian said, sarcasm dripping heavily from the words.

"Pleasure." Jeff put one hand on Sebastian's chest and pushed him firmly away. "Now fuck off, I want to kiss my boyfriend."

"Bye Bas," Nick said happily before standing on tiptoe to attach his lips to Jeff's.

Sebastian sighed. Great. Nick had been his fallback. And now he had definitely no one. He checked the time, four minutes.

Four minutes to conveniently place himself next to someone he could grab for a kiss at midnight. Ooh, and there was Hunter. He smirked and sauntered over to him, casually leaning against the armchair Hunter was standing beside.

Hunter, sensing the movement behind him, glanced over his shoulder, then shook his head and turned around fully when he saw who it was.

"No. Don't even think about it."

"Think about what?" Sebastian asked innocently.

"No. I have a girlfriend. I'm not even remotely bi-curious and I'm not letting you try to kiss me at midnight."

"You've been saying that all night but I still don't see a girlfriend," Sebastian countered.

"I told you, she had a late shift at work-"

Sebastian cut him off before he could finish. "You've been sayingthat all evening as well."

"But she is actually here now!" Hunter protested. Sebastian raised an eyebrow. "She went to the bathroom."

"Sure she did."

"Just go away, Smythe, I'm not kissing you." Hunter turned his back on Sebastian, who frowned and tried not to stamp like a petulant child as he walked away.

He went back to the drinks table and poured another gin.

"One minute!" someone shouted.

Sebastian folded his arms and glared around at the crowd. Nick and Jeff were squished together on the couch, kissing already, Nick sitting in Jeff's lap and Jeff's hands wandering down to Nick's ass.

Kurt and Blaine were holding hands and talking to David and his girlfriend, Blaine's eyes flickering down to his watch every two seconds, causing the other three to laugh.

Just as Sebastian's eyes roamed back to Hunter, a tall girl with pink highlights in her pixie blonde hair ran over to Hunter, kissing his cheek and hooking her arm through his. Huh, he obviously had been telling the truth then, even if this girl really didn't look at all how Sebastian had imagined Hunter's type of girl would look.

Sebastian knocked his drink back and turned to pour another as the television and everyone in the room started the countdown.

"Ten… nine… eight… seven…"

"Excuse me," a voice to Sebastian's left said, full of defeat.

"Six… five… four…"

Sebastian moved to the side to let Thad reach the drinks table, where he instantly grabbed the vodka bottle, not even bothering to get a glass but just swigging straight from the bottle.

"Three… two… one!"

Without really thinking, Sebastian put his drink down, stepped forward and wrapped one arm around Thad's waist, pulling the shorter boy to his chest, his other hand cradled the back of Thad's neck as he leant down to press their lips together.

"Happy New Year!" was shouted all around the room.
