Chapter 2
"I got another letter from David today" Kurt announced as they wandered down the busy streets, heads close so they could hear eachother over the general city noise.
"Oh?"
"Uh-huh"
They walked aimlessly, keeping watch for a good bakers shop to stop at and play 'guess my order' a silly game they'd played for years to prove how well they knew each other.
"Is he still asking you to move to Ohio and marry him?" Sebastian mocked.
"How about a lemon-raspberry coffee cake?"
I'll take that as a yes.
"Not lemon, and didn't you guys break up like a year ago?"
"17 and a half months" Kurt corrected
"You're counting?!" Sebastian said incredulously
"No, he is. He said so in the letter. What about a strawberry buttercream cupcake?"
"Not feeling the buttercream today" Sebastian declined
Kurt bit his lip as he thought
"Cranberry-orange muffin?"
"Not losing your touch are you Diva?" he smirked playfully
Kurt mock glared at him
"Don't be ridiculous Smythe… let's try here."
They stopped at a small bakery, the buttery pastry smell wafting into the street.
"Ooh I got it!" Kurt said excitedly as they lined up
"Let me have it"
"Red velvet cream cheese swirl brownie"
Sebastian shook his head in wonderment as his mouth watered "You always know what I want" he praised with a soft smile.
Kurt preened "I know!"
They sat at the table and nibbled through the brownie, each giving their near pornographic moans of appreciation, earning them a few funny looks from random pedestrians, they exchanged glances and moaned louder before collapsing into giggles.

Sebastian dragged his feet as he trudged around the vintage antique store – his go to shop when buying another wedding gift for his father.
He grabbed a random object – a set of glass whisky decanters with matching tumblers - off the shelf and turned to Kurt – who was also looking bored – to ask what he thought.
"Shall we get this?" he asked.
Kurt blinked out of his daydream and turned to stare at Sebastian. "We? No"
Seb frowned "Why, what's wrong wi-"
"Not that, they're fine but I'm not going to another one of your fathers' weddings!"
"Kuuurt, please?" Sebastian pouted and made his eyes all wide and innocent. "For me?"
Kurt laughed, "That won't work. I am immune to that now" Kurt declared, walking away.
Sebastian bolted after him and begged again. "I know you don't wanna go"
Kurt scoffed
"I don't even wanna go"
"What is this, his fifth wedding in as many years?"
Sebastian winced "sixth."
Kurt rolled his eyes, "I'm not going. Why don't you ask one of your regulars you like to rub up against?"
"Can't. No weddings or family events. It's a rule."
"I forgot about that one 'it gives them the wrong impression'"
"That it does. So you see? You are my only option. Please?"
Please, please, please…
"Well.."
Success!
"Yes!" Sebastian grabbed Kurt into a quick hug before darting off to buy the whisky decanter, leaving Kurt to mutter profanities under his breath.
May The Best Man Win
After leaving the shop they began to stroll back towards the car, as they drew nearer they spotted an orange tabby perched beside the front wheel. Sebastian handed the bag with the gift in to Kurt and dropped to his knees and started cooing to the stray cat that had begun rubbing himself against his legs.
Oh he's adorable!
He scratched the cat behind the ears, picking him up and holding him to his chest.
"Hiya sweetheart, aren't you adorable? You're so pretty! Yes you are! Aww I love you, yes I do you are beautiful" Sebastian muttered into his fur hearing Kurt snort from behind him he turned and glanced at him "What?"
Kurt rolled his eyes and walked over to stroke a hand through his fluffy fur making the cat arch his arch his back and begin purring in content.
"Oh I love you! Yes I do! Love you."
Kurt raised an eyebrow "You should say that to a human sometime"
"A human? No way. Why would I say that to a human?" he gave the cat one last scratch before placing him on the floor and hurrying after Kurt as he walked away, towards the car.
May The Best Man Win
"So you'll definitely come to the wedding?" Sebastian asked as he braked at a red light.
"Ugh... Yes"
"Promise?"
"Why do you have to go anyway? You said it yourself, it won't work out"
"I go because he's my father and despite his… flaws, I still… care deeply for him."
"How old is the new one?" Kurt asked curiously "The last one was younger than you and that is just disturbing. They don't even love each other."
"She's 30. And I know he doesn't love her. Everyone knows. And she doesn't love him either. It's sad really. They shouldn't be getting married but what am I supposed to say?"
"If someone you love is getting married to someone they shouldn't be you just say 'I'm happy you're happy.' It's the best you can do." Kurt said wisely.
"'I'm happy you're happy'? Okay. Yeah I'll say that. See that's why you're my best friend" Sebastian said, winking at Kurt.
Kurt rolled his eyes "Stop sucking up"
"I promise, this is the last time I'll ask you to go with me. Honestly."
May The Best Man Win
The wedding was much as Sebastian expected it to be, huge church, hundreds of guests – mostly hers, Sebastian noted.
The aisle was littered with rose petals and arrangements of orchids lined the sides, but what caught Sebastian's eye most of all, everything was… pink. Or lilac or some form of girly colour. Right down to the carpet. You can't say Christopher Smythe doesn't give a girl what she wants. A gold-digging girl anyway.
Sebastian slipped into the back room where his father was negotiating final parts of the prenup and signing it, sending off his lacky to get the blushing bride to sign on the dotted line.
"Ah Sebastian, glad you could make it! Wasn't sure if you were going to come."
Sebastian took a deep breath "Well dad, I'm happy you're happy"
His father clapped a hand on his shoulder and smiled.
"Did you bring Kurt?"
Mr Smythe took his only son's arm and sat him down on the cushioned seat by the doors to the altar.
"Yeah, he's here."
"Good! Good. I always liked that boy. He's good for you y'know, an excellent match for you"
"Dad, me and Kurt aren't-"
"I know. But the point is you should be" he said sternly
"Dad it's not-"
"It's not like that, yeah, yeah, yeah, I've heard. But son, trust me. You need to act and soon. If I was gay I'd make sure I at least gave him a-"
His sentence was cut short thankfully, by his lacky returning, red in the face and panting.
"She doesn't accept those terms, she says 5 times a week is too much" he explained
"We agreed five! She promised five!" his father sputtered, distracted long enough for his son to escape and find Kurt who was stood a few feet away chatting to a bridesmaid - who kept licking her lips and pushing her chest out, obviously not seeing the neon sign Kurt carried that read Gay As The Day Is Long- and pull him away.
The door Sebastian had just left was thin enough for the two to hear the tail end of his dad's conversation. "She promised me a bi-monthly BJ if I got her the big ring!"
Sebastian and Kurt shared a look as they sat on the front pew, both barely concealing laugher and shudders.
The actual ceremony was as tedious the sixth time as it was the first; only this time, where there were smiles of joy for his father the first time, there were cynical raised eyebrows and polite applause. The brides' mother was crying, the bridesmaids were grinning and the bride was sending Sebastian lusty looks. Much the same as usual.
The reception was held at the Plaza.
PredictableThe first dance was slow and awkward, many of the guests took pity on them and soon the dance floor was filled with a bunch of thirty something guests, most were drunk or drinking, the groom couldn't be found.
Probably out in the back checking over the prenup and his last divorce settlements. .
Sebastian said as much to Kurt, before they clinked glasses and downed the contents.
"Can't do wedding number six with out at least a .25 blood alcohol level." Sebastian grinned
"Cheers" Kurt smiled back, raising his glass. He took a small sip before asking,
"So, did you tell your dad you love him?"
Seb rolled his eyes and said,
"I said I'm happy if he's happy. It's a good line, I think I'll use it for next time"
"You can't even tell your father you love him." Kurt picked at the nibbles on the bar "I don't get that."
"Well that's because you're an 'I Love You' slut"
Kurt gasped "I'm a what?!"
"An 'I Love You' slut"
"I heard you! How am I an 'I Love You' slut?"
Sebastian chuckled "You're addicted to saying 'I Love You' you say it to everyone."
"I do not!" Kurt said indignantly but smiling slightly.
"You do too. You love everything"
"No I don't. But you know what I do love? Cake. I want cake"
Seb bit his lip "cake sounds good."
May The Best Man Win
Once cake had been administered (A slice of chocolate fudge for Sebastian, lemon cheesecake for Kurt, which they had then swapped after each eating half) and more alcoholic beverages had been consumed, Kurt dragged Seb onto the dance floor, both slightly tipsy and giggling, imitating the other guests' dancing with over the top gyrating movements.
Eventually the fast beats slowed into a more classical sound, causing few of the older guests to get on the floor with their partner.
Sebastian and Kurt made their way over to the bar to catch their breath and grab another drink, a comfortable silence between them.
Seb surveyed the room, eyes sliding over the guests until his eyes landed on a figure at the far end of the ballroom, weaving between the dancers, eyes searching frantically for someone.
Oh god.
"Hide me!" Bas hissed in Kurt's ear, ducking down slightly so Kurt was taller than him.
"What?" Kurt asked, looking at him like he'd lost his mind.
"Over there- no don't look! There's a guy, he's obsessed with me"
Kurt snorted and gave him a sceptical look
"No really he is! He's my dad's patient coordinator, He made this website about me – "
Kurt's mouth dropped into a perfect 'O' shape
"He's your creepy stalker?!" Kurt asked incredulously glancing over his shoulder as the guy wandered in the opposite direction.
"Yes! Quick, dance with me" Seb gave no chance to answer before grabbing Kurt's hand and pulling him into the throng of people on the dancefloor, carefully avoiding the edges.
Kurt snickered "Aww don't you wanna see your blogger? He's kind of cute"
Seb pulled Kurt's arms around his neck and glared at him, leading them into a small three-step pattern "Stop it"
"No I'm serious, isn't it kind of endearing?" Kurt said insistently
"Endearing? His last post was a detailed 9,000 word essay describing my face. At least he doesn't think my nose is too bent or my lips are too thin" he said teasingly.
"Who said that?" Kurt asked curiously
"You did. The night we met"
"I did?"
"Mhmm"
"Huh. Well, I lied"
"What?"
Kurt smiled at him "I thought you were hot" he confessed.
Seb hummed, a small smile on his face.
"And then you said I looked like a dog"
Sebastian huffed out a laugh and pulled Kurt closer
"Well, that was just because I was trying to sleep with you then"
They fell silent for a moment, letting the music slide them across the floor, Kurt's head on his chest, their breathing synched.
"Why haven't you since?" Kurt asked quietly "Tried to sleep with me?"
Sebastian stumbled the step slightly, the question taking him by surprise.
"Well, I- I like having you in my life. You're… important." He turned them in a small circle, his grip on Kurt's waist tightening briefly.
Kurt didn't get a chance to answer before Seb suddenly dipped him and he found himself smiling around a gasp as the dip took him by surprise.
"Sebby! Hi! Hello! Sebastian!" a desperate voice called a few feet away. Seb groaned and dropped his head onto Kurt's shoulder.
Go away go away go aw-Bas looked up in time to catch the tail end of a glare being shot in Kurt's direction.
"Thad... Hi" Thad looked up at Sebastian with worshipful eyes like just being in his presence was an ultimate high.
"Have you seen my new update?" Thad asked hopefully, eyes wide and lips pouted slightly in what he probably thought was an alluring manner.
"No, we haven't" he responded, tightening his grip around Kurt so he couldn't escape.
Thad's eye twitched slightly at the we, his gaze flickering over to Kurt where he was stood tucked under Sebastian's arm.
"Who's this?"
"This? This is Kurt my… boyfriend." Bas glanced down at Kurt to judge his reaction; calm but amused.
Thad's eyes grew large
"Boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me you were seeing someone?"
"Uh, because I don't know you" Bas casually turned them in a circle, away from Thad who he hoped would leave.
Thad quickly scurried after them.
Kurt smirked devilishly up at him before looking toward Thad and smiling kindly, "Don't worry though, we have a very open relationship"
Thad looked ecstatic "Really?!"
"Oh yeah he-"Kurt was cut off by Sebastian dipping him sharply and tugging him tightly against his chest.
"About that princess, I don't think we should do that anymore"
Sebastian twirled Kurt under his arm to stop him responding. Kurt looked under Seb's arm at the crushed look on Thad's face.
"I- I don't want to be with anyone but, er, you. J-just you." Sebastian stuttered silently begging Kurt to play along.
Kurt winked at him.
Of course not
"Oh I don't know if I'm ready for that commitment" Kurt murmured with a smirk "you know my rules"
He's enjoying this, Sebastian thought accusingly
Kurt chimed a small giggle, Sebastian giving a nervous chuckle as Thad watched him intently.
Kurt swung them round again to face Thad, a heart-melting smile on his lips "We're emotionally unstable"
Thad's features were somewhere between shocked and horrified, he nodded mutely.
He turned to Sebastian sharply, looking him straight in the eye "I think I need to start a new blog. Goodbye Sebastian"
He strode away purposefully, shoving other guests out the way as he meandered toward the bar.
Kurt looked up at Sebastian with wide eyes "That was the scariest thing I've ever experienced, and I've seen Rachel Berry plan a wedding" he shuddered.
Seb kept his eyes on Thad's retreating figure, still holding Kurt close in case he looked back. "He's always like that"
Kurt giggled breathlessly into Sebastian's neck, causing a shiver to run down his spine. "I'm never coming to another one of these weddings. Ever" Kurt murmured.
Sebastian finally pulled his eyes away from Thad and looked down at Kurt and smiled softly. "We'll see" Kurt sighed contentedly and rested his head against Bas' shoulder, swaying slightly, when suddenly Sebastian pulled away. "Good, he's gone."
Seb walked away quickly, towards his father to say goodbye, Kurt trailing after him with a sigh.
