Kurt had sworn he would stop crushing on cute guys after several failure, but that new Warbler Sebastian was not helping at all. Kurt had been dreaming about the boy since the Warbler party. He even tagged along with Blaine for a few Lima Bean coffee meeting, claiming he was in search of the best of coffee in Lima. Not only was Sebastian really attractive, he also returned some of Kurt's gazing; which only made Kurt think they shared mutual interest.
"Hey, you look tired." Blaine stated as Kurt just slumped down in the chair between him and Sebastian.
"Blaine, you know I love you as a best friend. But I'm so beating you in Regional. Or I will kill myself for not winning this thing after everything I went through." Kurt didn't like to complain about New Directions with anyone outside of the group but he knew Blaine wouldn't use the information to go against them and he just wanted to let it out.
"Drama?" Sebastian asked.
Kurt returned a tired smile, "It's nothing. I shouldn't unload it on you."
"No its fine. You...guys are usually fascinating."
"Thank you." Kurt gave him a bright smile, the tall boy had been very nice to him lately. Kurt still hadn't figured out Sebastian's motive, but he decided to keep hold on to this newly developed friendship.
"I know what will cheer you up!" Blaine said excitedly, grabbing both of the boys attention. "The bi-monthly old Hollywood movie night in town."
"And there is a cheesecake place next to it!" Kurt almost shrieked in excitement.
Sebastian looked at Kurt in wonder, which made Kurt nervous again, "Is something on my face?"
"No, its just I didn't take you as a sweet tooth."
"Oh trust me, I'm a walking sugar cube. But I have to watch out my figure, so only guilty pleasures once in a while." Kurt chuckled.
Sebastian smiled like he understand Kurt's worries. Blaine didn't say anything about what he saw but played along with the conversation.
Hunter heard about the new Warbler trio's Friday night. He kept throwing the 'I Told You So' look at Sebastian whenever they ran into each other at school. But he never voiced his opinions about it. Not that Sebastian really cared, as long as Hunter stayed away from Kurt; but he couldn't help but worry a bit, he was playing with fire and he knew it. But he wanted to get to know Kurt better. He had missed him so much, but he worried that the more he knew, the harder it would be for him to let Kurt go. Maybe it was too late for him already.
The universe apparently was on Hunter's side as it was messing with Sebastian's mind right now. The image of Kurt Hummel in paint on skin tight black jeans and a well fitted burgundy dress shirt was presented before Sebastian and he almost choked on air.
"Umm. Y-you look great." Sebastian was glad about his long time training of putting a calm face.
"Thanks. You too. That coat looks good on you." Kurt smiled.
"Guys, I'm here. Take the flirting elsewhere." Blaine cleared his throat.
"Blaine!" Kurt exclaimed with a blush.
Sebastian found it adorable and he was this close to reaching out and running his fingers on Kurt's cheek.
Blaine chuckled, "I was kidding! Let's go, you don't want to miss the show. It's My Fair Lady."
"And cheese cake after." Kurt reminded both of the boys.
Sebastian smiled, he was like a kid reminding his parents he deserved a treat.
"I'd buy you any cake you want. Come on." Sebastian placed his hand on the small of Kurt's back and guided him inside the cinema.
The entire movie, Sebastian was so tense, and he really wished Kurt wouldn't notice it. Kurt was sitting between Sebastian and Blaine, in the old cinema seats that were really close to each other, Sebastian could feel the warmth and the sweet scent wafting from Kurt. He smelled fresh and sweet, like summer berries and it was so intoxicating. Sebastian would be happy to drown in that smell and never wake up.
Before Sebastian realized it, the movie had finished and Kurt gently shook him back to reality. "Earth to Sebastian."
"Huh?"
Kurt chuckled of the startled boy, "The movie's finished, you spaced out."
"Oh, sorry, I was thinking about-something."
"Did you not like the movie?" Kurt frowned, he would hate it if Sebastian simply agreed to watch it because he and Blaine suggested.
"No, I like it! Its just something on my mind."
"Oh..."
"I was thinking about the cheese cake, wonder if they are as good as you said it was."
That brought a laugh out of Kurt, "Pretty sure there's better cheese cake place in New York, but this is the best you can have in Ohio." Kurt urged the boy to get up and go, "Come on, let's witness the moment of you tasting heaven." Kurt winked.
Sebastian was quite shocked, but excited, the old Kurt he knew, would never wink or flirt with anyone. Not only was it because people didn't do such things back in the old boring days, but Kurt was really shy when he first met him.
He followed Kurt and Blaine like a lost puppy to the cheese cake place. Kurt started skipping towards the shop and walked ahead the other two as they got closer and Sebastian chuckled quietly watching his back.
"Man. You're so in love." Blaine smirked and said just loud enough for the two of them to hear.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"Seriously, even blind people can see how much you're in love with Kurt. Your dreamy eyes are not subtle at all." Blaine rolled his eyes.
"We're not going to be together." Sebastian comment, with sadness in his voice.
"Why? I'm pretty sure Kurt is quite fond of you as well. If you're worried about Kurt already having boyfriend, he's sing-"
"I know, I'm not going to chase him. I'm not good for him."
"Why?"
"Just drop it Blaine. I don't want to talk about it. And I don't want Kurt know about any of this. I trust you; promise me not to tell Kurt anything I said." Sebastian made Blaine looked at him.
There was a threat, a power in Sebastian's eyes that made Blaine incapable of denying his request. "O-okay, Sebastian. I promise."
"Thank you."
Kurt turned around from few feet ahead, "Hurry up you two! If the cake sold out its on you!" Kurt pout and faked an angry face.
Sebastian looked at him and his eyes went soft, "Alright, coming!" And he half jogged towards Kurt.
Blaine followed behind, he didn't understand Sebastian's decision of not pursuing Kurt, but he respect the promise he made, so he let the tall boy have a moment with Kurt.
Hunter finished checking the business report from Sebastian. He closed the notebook and look up at the red hair girl stood before him. "Scarlett, darling, it seems business aren't so good this month. What happened to Sebastian that would cause such a bad performance?" Hunter gave the girl a sly smile.
"Umm, I'm afraid I do not know about Sebastian's private life too much, sir." Her voice was shivering slightly.
"No need to be scared, sweetheart. But from now on, I would like you to keep an eyes on Sebastian. If he brings home one particular cute, blue eyed boy, let me know. I don't want to miss the fun."
"Yes...sir." The girl seem torn about this order but she had no choice to obey. She was only Sebastian's assistant, even though she had done the job for five hundred years, she knew she could be easily replaced, and that's the last thing she ever wanted.
Hunter rose from his seat and put the notebook back to Scarlett's hands. "I'm afraid I have to hang out with some of the Warblers to keep up my human appearance. That will be all tonight, darling."
Sebastian didn't see Kurt for a week after their movie night, making all excuses to not join the coffee meeting with Kurt and Blaine.
He decided its time for him to back off a little from Kurt, after the fifth time he almost lost control of grabbing Kurt the other night.
Sebastian could see Kurt was attracted to him just like he was towards Kurt; he had enough experience in seeing people's intention. He was sure if he made a move, Kurt would be all in and that was exactly what Hunter wanted. He needed to stop this before it was too late.
"Do you think Sebastian is avoiding me?" Kurt asked Blaine during their coffee meeting.
"He said he was busy, he's trying out to be lacrosse captain." Blaine shrugged.
"Is he the same with you?"
"What do you mean?"
"I just feel like he was acting cool towards me after the movie night? Did I do something?" Kurt frowned.
"I don't think so, he was pretty much staring at you the whole night..."
"Blaine, tell me honestly, did I crush on the wrong guy, again?"
"No! Seriously, Sebastian was pretty much drooling over you since you two met at the party."
"So I'm not imagining thing right? I actually feel something towards him, but he just decided not to see me all of sudden?! I don't understand." Kurt pout.
"Maybe he just don't know what to approach that matters." Blaine patted the brunette's shoulder to comfort him.
"Or maybe he decided I'm not good as he thought?" Kurt tried not to be so depressive but its quite hard, looking back his awful crush records.
"Hey, none of that, you're great. And I do think Sebastian really like you. Maybe he was just going through some personal stuff. Seeing the way he look at you, its only a matter of time he ask you out." Blaine smiled, "Or, you can ask him out?"
"Me?"
Blaine nodded, "If you think you're ready."
"I'm not sure if I'm ready. I do know I'm frustrated."
"Well, you know you like him-"
"Interested." Kurt corrected with a blush.
"Okay, interested, And everyone in Warbler knows Sebastian is also interested in you. If he's too scare to make a move, why don't you make the first move, what the harm, the worst is he says no, right?" Blaine encouraged.
"Blaine, since when are you an expert in relationships?!" Kurt giggled.
"Since it became a pain to watch you two flirt over everything yet no one makes a move" Blaine smirked.
"God, you're horrible!" Kurt playfully smacked his arm.
"Come on, tell me you don't wanna ask him out."
"Ugh, I hate you. Fine, yes I wanna go on a date...or at least figure out if he's actually like me."
"There you go."
"Fine. I'll ask, put your stupid smile away." Kurt rolled his eyes at his best friend.
