(A/N): Thank you for the kind reviews as well as all the follows and favorites. Hope everyone enjoys the new chapter.
As soon as he had gotten the text message Sebastian had excused himself from class, collected Blaine from his class, and gone to see the headmaster advising him of the current situation. Blaine had gone from confused to be pulled out of class to bouncing along behind Sebastian in his growing excitement. Sebastian himself while remaining outwardly calm was itching to get to Kurt and make sure he was okay especially after all the uneasiness he felt the other day, that lingered through this morning. The headmaster had smiled and congratulated him on finding his missing piece before excusing them for the day asking that Sebastian let him know when his newest soulmate would need to be enrolled for.
"Thank you sir, I will," Sebastian said politely smiling pulling Blaine along as he made his way to the parking lot.
"We found him Seb," Blaine practically squealed as they drove home. "And so quickly its amazing," Blaine said dreamily just imagining the boy in his head.
Sebastian smiled shaking his head at Blaine hoping the boy wouldn't overwhelm Kurt to much, asking for not at all was to much to ask for of that he was certain. As soon as he got home and saw his father he rushed to hug him. "Thank you dad," he whispered.
"No need to thank me for this," Carter said smiling, "I am just glad we were able to find him so quickly, you lucked out again it seems with him being only about 2 hours away," the man said attention drawn for the moment as his submissive made her way down the steps. "If we head out now we should be in Lima before lunch," he said happily kissing his soulmates temple as she walked up hugging him.
"I'm so happy for you sweetheart," Natasha said looking at her son, "I know how long you've been waiting for this day."
"Would you like to see a picture of him?" Carter asked knowingly.
Sebastian and Blaine's heads had snapped to the man immediately.
"Show me," Sebastian said firmly as Blaine waited impatiently beside him looking for all the world like a child on Christmas morning just waiting for that gift they really wanted that they just knew they were getting.
Carter pulled the picture out that he had gotten from the investigators and handed it to his son waiting for the reaction.
Sebastian took the picture delicately looking at it with reverence. He gasped at first at the sheer beauty of the boy who was his. He was sitting at a table with a cup of coffee in hand smiling at another boy. Sebastian felt a flare of jealousy in his stomach.
"Its just a friend," Carter said knowingly looking at his son whose eyes roamed the picture for every detail it could get.
Sebastian nodded at his father's words, not looking away from the face in the picture, feeling that flare settle but not entirely. He let his fingers trace over the boy in the picture. He had the most beautiful pale skin with eyes that had a color that defied definition. His chestnut hair was styled up in a neat coif and Sebastian could tell the boy had excellent fashion taste from what he could see of the outfit.
"He's so beautiful," Blaine said softly looking at the picture over Sebastian's shoulder taking the words right out of the dominant's mouth. "He looks so sweet," Blaine said adoringly. "That's our Kurt," and Sebastian turned hearing the waver in his submissive's voice.
"Hey its okay we're going to see him soon," Sebastian said soothing his soulmate.
"Indeed we are, let's get a move on boys so you can see Mr. Hummel in more than a picture shall we," Carter said getting everyone moving.
With that the family headed out of the home, Carter slipping into the driver's seat while his wife slid in the passenger seat smiling at him, both of them happy beyond belief for the boys.
Sebastian opened the door letting Blaine have the picture as he slid in the car before running around to the other side and sliding in himself. He took Blaine's hand as they buckled in for the drive hoping they would provide each other some comfort as they anxiously awaited arrival.
"So would you like some tidbits," Carter teased as they travelled along the high way.
Sebastian and Blaine both sat up and immediately looked at the man making him laugh.
"Carter don't tease them," Natasha scolded.
The man ducked at being scolded by his submissive, "alright sorry dear," he said the love for her clear in his voice and eyes. "Well turns out he goes to McKinley," the man started, "and he's in a Glee Club," he paused here as Blaine jumped and squealed in the back seat making him laugh.
"He likes to sing Seb," Blaine latched onto the detail excitedly squeezing his dominant's hand.
"Yes Blaine I heard," Sebastian said teasing making the boy blush at his slight over exuberance.
"His father is Congressman Burt Hummel," Carter said more seriously.
"Interesting," Sebastian said stowing that little tidbit away.
By the time they reached Lima Sebastian had learned where Kurt went to school, of course Sebastian would be moving him to Dalton. That he liked to sing and that he was fond of white chocolate latte's thanks to the coffee shop intel. Who his father was and that his mother had passed away when he was eight at which point Sebastian's own mother had made a comment about the poor dear and how sad that was not to mention tragic for his father. That apparently his father had remarried not long ago connecting with a woman who had also lost her soulmate, and that the union resulted in a older stepbrother for Kurt whom had found his own submissive soulmate.
The Smythe's pulled up just as it seemed the Hummel's were coming home. Sebastian's first thought was that Kurt's picture didn't do him justice, the boy wasn't just beautiful he was stunning. As they got out of the car he grabbed Blaine's hand and realized his submissive was shaking slightly in nervous excitement he got Blaine to look at him and the hazel eyes calmed as he smiled at Sebastian. When they got close enough though Blaine pulled away running to Kurt pulling him in a hug. Sebastian laughed shaking his head. He approached much more calmly and smiled at Kurt as he took his hand. The connection was immediate and strong. Sebastian felt it wash through him like a calming breeze, like all the pieces were connecting in place. He saw Kurt's eyes widen upon hearing his father introduce himself to Kurt's own dad. He felt the shock roll through his submissive as the connection was made and smiled at him introducing himself. Then suddenly Sebastian felt something he hadn't expected, fear and panic. The connection made Kurt's fear clear as day to him and Sebastian's own heart sped up in response. Before he could do or say anything he saw the boy look to his father and then suddenly his eyes slipped closed and he began to fall. Sebastian knew what it was he'd felt all of it through the newly formed connection that sparked like a live wire between them. The fear, the panic, the shock, the confusion, so many emotions had rolled through his submissive and Sebastian had felt an underlying issue that had already been there but couldn't name because apparently it was all to much and his submissive had passed out.
"Kurt," he cried out quickly catching the brunette before he could crash to the ground. He heard Blaine call Kurt's name as well and quickly put one arm under the boy's legs and one behind his back lifting the limp form into his arms face looking down at the pale boy in concern.
Burt had been confused when the family of four approached him and his son but when the man introduced himself his eyes widened in realization. Kurt's dominant had found him and much faster than Burt could have anticipated. He quickly looked to Kurt just in time to catch his boy look to him panic struck, confused, and scared. "Kurt," he screamed as his son fainted but he pulled up short when he saw the taller pick up his boy.
Burt looked from the boy to the limp form of his son in the boy's arms to the man who had introduced himself as Carter Smythe.
"Perhaps we could go inside to sort this out," Mr. Smythe said trying to keep things calm as the situation went in a direction they hadn't foreseen.
Burt nodded and went to collect his son but pulled up short. The boy holding his son currently glared at him, green eyes hard, as if daring him to try and take Kurt out of his arms. That was when it hit Burt, Kurt had shaken this boy's hand not realizing what he was doing. Kurt had connected to his dominant, to both his soulmates, Kurt wasn't his anymore. He felt himself go pale and nodded turning and moving towards the house to unlock the door.
Sebastian kept a firm hold on Kurt with Blaine tailing closely worrying over the boy in his arms. His father and mother walking behind them. As they entered the Hummel household Sebastian couldn't deny how warm and like a home it felt. He could just feel Kurt's presence in this place.
"Why don't we all take a seat in the living room," Burt said guiding everyone stiffly.
Sebastian followed the man and laid Kurt down on the couch sitting so he could have the boy's head pillowed his lap. Blaine handed him an actual pillow and Sebastian smiled at him placing it under the brunette's head to keep him comfortable. Blaine chose to kneel on the floor by Sebastian so he could be close to his dominant and his other newly acquired soulmate.
Carter and Natasha Smythe sat together on the love-seat while Burt moved to sit in his recliner. For a moment there was silence as the people in the room regarded one another.
"How did you find him?" Burt asked to get the ball rolling.
"Sebastian and Blaine have been connected since they turned sixteen," Carter Smythe said calmly. "They were attending the same school and knew each other," the man smiled at the two boys who were watching Kurt with concern. "That was a year ago," the man said turning back to Burt. "When Kurt turned sixteen yesterday his name changed color as I'm sure you are aware," the man said watching Burt's reactions, "Sebastian woke in the middle of the night feeling the change right away and I immediately had private investigators looking for Kurt and as luck would have it with Kurt not being far away they found him quickly," Carter said smiling. "They actually just confirmed they found him this morning we came right out, the boys were excited to meet Kurt as I'm sure you can tell," he added laughing.
"Why was he scared?" Sebastian asked drawing attention to him even though his gaze was focused on Kurt. "I expected surprise but I saw it in his face and felt it after the connection was made," he said hand moving a stray strand of hair off the boy's forehead, "he was scared." He looked up at Mr. Hummel for an answer.
"Kurt is very independent," Burt said proudly. "He knows who he is and what he wants and he has dreams, big dreams," Burt said softly. "He didn't want to connect right away, he wanted time," Burt said accusingly as if Sebastian had done something wrong and ruined everything by looking for his son. Burt knew that technically wasn't true. Sebastian had every right to search for Kurt and dominant's often did search for their submissive's once of age. Being without them always felt like something was missing so they tried to find them but Burt couldn't help but be angry knowing this wasn't want Kurt wanted. After everything his boy had been through Burt hated that yet another thing was being forced on him.
"He didn't want us," Blaine cried at the words hand unconsciously moving to touch Kurt.
"He did," Burt said feeling bad at having upset the other submissive. He hadn't meant to make it sound like Kurt didn't want them , "just not right away," he stressed.
"Well he has us," Sebastian said firmly. "Blaine and I have been waiting for him, ready to take him into our lives, to love him, and I have been waiting to cherish him and take care of him," he added looking at the pale beauty. "I know things have happened recently to hurt him and I refuse to be away from him and unable to protect him," he said adamantly.
"How did you know?" Burt asked curiously. Something had happened but they weren't connected so how had Sebastian known something happened.
"Apparently whatever it was affected him deeply enough that it caused an unease within me," Sebastian said looking up at his submissive's father. "Even unconnected I was able to know when he needed me but because we weren't connected I had no way of finding him and helping him, it drove me quite mad," the boy said green eyes betraying how deeply unsettled he'd been at being unable to be there for Kurt when he needed him.
A small sound from the previously unconscious boy caught everyone's attention. Blaine grasped Kurt's hand and Sebastian petted he chestnut hair back in a consoling manner. Burt had moved to the edge of his seat but wisely remained put. Now that Kurt had connected to his dominant Sebastian would not take it well if Burt invaded what he believed to be his territory nor would he be welcomed. Kurt had ceased to be just his son and Burt had ceased to be Kurt's primary caregiver the moment he connected. Legally Kurt was bound to Sebastian now and to follow where he directed unless granted otherwise.
"Kurt," Sebastian said that one word holding so much meaning.
Glasz eyes blinked up at Sebastian momentarily confused before the brunette boy remembered everything that had happened. He gasped sitting up quickly wincing when a wave of vertigo hit him.
"Whoa slowly buddy," Burt said reaching out but not touching Kurt.
"Dad," Kurt said uneasily looking at the man he knew and loved.
"Kurt," Sebastian said again firmly not liking when the boy wouldn't look at him. "Look at me," he commanded.
Kurt couldn't fight the directive. Glasz eyes looked over at the tall boy meeting green.
"Are you alright?" Sebastian asked concerned.
Kurt didn't know how to answer that. So much had happened today and he was so far from alright. He looked back to his dad and moved to hug the man.
"No kiddo you can't do that," Burt said quickly stopping Kurt before he could move from Sebastian. Sebastian was on edge right now and Kurt in another dominant's arms regardless of the fact that it was his father would incite the dominant's jealousy and rage and that was never good.
Kurt's face fell at those words and he looked heart broken. Tears immediately started to fall as Kurt registered the severity of his situation. He was connected. For all intents and purposes he belonged to his dominant soulmate and he could if he felt so inclined keep his father away from him. He looked over at Sebastian, the resentment clear as day in his glasz eyes that had turned a bluish grey in sadness.
Blaine noticed the tension and went to sit on the other side of Kurt. "Hey Kurt," the hazel eyed boy said smiling at the brunette. "I've been looking forward to meeting you," Blaine said softly the love clear as day in his voice. "Your just so beautiful," Blaine said unable to stop himself.
Kurt watched Blaine sit next to him warily. He felt less resentment towards this submissive then he did the dominant on the other side of him. As Blaine spoke up and said he had been looking forward to meeting Kurt the boy couldn't help but smile. Blaine had such an earnest expression combined with his hazel eyes that were open wide with that hopeful puppy eyed look, the one Finn had often used to get Kurt to bake him cookies. Kurt found himself quite enchanted by Blaine ironically enough considering he couldn't stand Sebastian at the moment. At the compliment Kurt's cheeks turned bright red. He preened a little bit unable to help being touched by Blaine's compliment, other than his mother no one had ever called him beauitful.
"You look quite dashing yourself Mr. Anderson," Kurt said softly but clearly smiling beautifully at Blaine. He grabbed a tissue from the nearby coffee table drying his eyes, tears having stopped as Blaine talked to him.
Blaine blushed himself at the compliment but more than that he was enthralled by Kurt's voice. It was absolutely stunning. He couldn't wait to hear the boy sing, "wow," he said not thinking.
"What?" Kurt asked curiously lowering his hand with the tissue to his lap tilting his head slightly.
"Your voice," Blaine said in awe, finding the way Kurt tilted his head adorable.
"What about it?" Kurt asked defensive suddenly, so used to being picked on for his voice and how girly he sounded.
"It's stunning," Blaine said smiling brightly, "like you," he tacked on then ducked his head sheepishly.
Kurt turned red right to the tips of his ears, when Blaine complimented his voice. No one had ever complimented his voice like that. He found his hand linking unconsciously with Blaine's only realizing it when the boy started playing with his fingers.
"Your hands are so soft," Blaine commented absently, "delicate," he said softly, "long fingers," he said curiously, "do you play an instrument?" he asked wondering.
Kurt's eyes sparked at Blaine's comment on his hands reminding the boy of Brittany, whom he adored one of the people he would have missed leaving McKinley. He nodded his head shyly at the question face still flushing as Blaine played with his hand, "the piano."
"Of course," Blaine said like that made perfect sense and he felt like he should have guessed. "I play the guitar," he said enthusiastically, "and sing."
"I like to sing," Kurt said Blaine's enthusiasm catching. "I sing in my school's Glee," Kurt stopped and frowned. "I did sing in my school's Glee Club I don't go there anymore though," he said looking to his dad.
The adults and Sebastian had been watching the exchange patiently and indulgently. Sebastian was glad to see Kurt hit it off with Blaine that would make the transition easier and he could already tell it would be difficult. Some things were going to have to happen Sebastian just knew Kurt wouldn't like.
"You can sing with the Warblers," Blaine said oblivious to all else but Kurt. "Seb and I are both in the Warblers and with a voice like yours you'll be a shoe in," he said optimistically.
"Why don't you go to McKinley anymore?" Sebastian asked. "We've only just meant so you couldn't have been pulled out because of that, what happened yesterday?" Sebastian needed to know, he needed to know what had affected Kurt so deeply, it had been driving him out of his mind with worry and he found not knowing unacceptable.
The question caught Kurt off guard, the surety with which Sebastian asked specifically about yesterday threw him. How did he know? He looked at his father betrayal written on his face.
"I didn't say anything Kurt," Burt said holding his hands up realizing the conclusion Kurt was jumping to. "Your dominant felt uneasy yesterday in response to your stress," Burt explained, "once your of age even if not connected if a submissive experiences a traumatic enough event the dominant is likely to feel something, like shock-waves." Burt looked at Kurt sadly, "you must have been more effected by what happened then you even let on to me for him to feel something," Burt said sad that Kurt hadn't shared with him just how upset he was, and it was a fact Kurt was going to try to hide what happened altogether, if Burt hadn't seen those marks he would have. "You owe it to him to tell him Kurt, he's been worried about you and rightly so," Burt said understanding what Sebastian must have been going through. As Kurt's father it had been hard but as his dominant and not in the loop it would have been much harder on Sebastian.
Kurt felt bad for thinking his father had spoken of such private matter to Kurt without his consent, he should have known his father would never do that. Then he felt worse at his father's hurt tone when he realized Kurt hadn't let him in as much as he could have. Kurt looked at his lap shame coloring his face. There were so many people in the room, he found it hard enough to talk about what happened let alone with a packed living room.
"Mr. Hummel its been quite the drive, perhaps you could provide my parents with refreshments and bring some drinks out for us," Sebastian prompted, feeling Kurt's emotions through the bond and recognizing what his soulmate needed.
Burt smiled at the boy happy to see that he had caught onto his son's distress and responded to it, he nodded his assent rising from the chair. Carter and his wife who had been silent observers thus far got up and let Burt guide them from the room.
Once alone Sebastian lifted Kurt's chin to make the boy look at him once more. "Please tell me what happened beautiful," Sebastian said not really thinking when the pet name slipped through but unwilling to retract it.
Kurt colored but his brows furrowed, not sure how he felt about the sentiment coming from Sebastian. When Blaine had complimented him it felt nice and made him feel warm, loved, desired but with Sebastian a myriad of emotions confused the more pleasant emotions.
"There was a boy at school," Kurt started softly tentative, "he was expelled today," he said feeling important to get that right out. "He's always harassed me from name calling to shoving just stupid childish things and I never let it get to me because I knew he was just being ignorant and childish," Kurt said sadly, "but lately he's been getting worse, meaner, more violent," he said the last word in a whisper. "I always thought he came after me because he didn't like that I liked boys but yesterday I realized it was so much more than that," Kurt said sighing wishing he'd seen something to give him a heads up sooner so he could have avoided the whole incident.
Blaine reached out a hand to clasp Kurt's and smiled at him reassuringly. Kurt smiled back finding the comfort the gesture was meant to give and appreciating it.
"He shoved me yesterday, caught me by surprise and I fell," Kurt continued not letting go of Blaine's hand, "I thought he would walk away after that's what he always did but he didn't he reached down and pulled me up and dragged me to the boys gym locker room, I had no idea why he did," Kurt said glancing at Blaine who looked at him with understanding hazel eyes and nodded for him to go on. When Kurt looked down Blaine looked over at Sebastian fretfully and the dominant smiled trying to reassure the boy he was doing good and helping.
"He trapped me against the lockers and grabbed my arm to read the name of my soulmates, then said he knew it knew by the way I was acting that day his name wasn't on my wrist, asked me if I knew he wasn't sixteen yet which I didn't" Kurt said shaking his head. "Then he said he had to have one taste had to know what was like to be with me just once and that's when I realized I was in real danger, I panicked and tried to get away but he's so much bigger than me and so much stronger," Kurt said a tear rolling trekking down his cheek as Kurt's hand squeezed the tissue he still held in a fist. "He…he kissed me pushed his tongue into my mouth and all I could remember thinking was that it wasn't supposed to be like this," Kurt cried, "my first kiss was supposed to be romantic but I didn't have time to dwell on it because he started rubbing against me, I turned my head sharply to get him to stop kissing me, told him to stop and I tried to struggle but it felt so hard to breathe, to do anything." Kurt paused silent for a few moments. "He was just pushing and rubbing and moaning and I'd never felt so dirty and violated in my life, and I couldn't get away," Kurt said full out crying by now, distraught enough by his memories that he didn't notice Sebastian's hand running soothingly across his back to help him. "He finally must have," Kurt shook his head he couldn't say it. "He groaned and stilled and I remember being so still hoping he would just go away, as he backed away I remember sagging against the lockers in relief till I saw the flash and looked up realizing he had taken a photo of me with my hair messed up, with my clothes wrinkled, with my neck marked up and a flush on my face from the heat and my lips swollen from his unwanted kiss, and I was horrified he had a picture of me looking like that," Kurt said sagging, not realizing he was sagging in Sebastian's arm which was tightly wrapped around him now, soothing touches gone to a protective embrace. "I screamed at him and ran, drove straight home and showered with the water on the highest heat setting I could bare but I just couldn't feel clean, finally I crawled in bed, my dad ended up seeing the marks when he came to wake me for dinner and from there he found out what happened and that's where we were before we meant you, at the school resolving the issue."
Sebastian was seething, he was irate, the uneasy feeling he had yesterday now explained had his blood boiling in rage. The only thing that kept him in check was Kurt. The boy was distraught, he was tired, shamed which he had no business being in Sebastian's book, he was worn down and it was simply unacceptable. Sebastian didn't like the tears that flowed down his submissive's face. He used the hand not connected to the arm tightly wound around the pale boy to brush the tears off those pale cheeks and turn that beautiful face to him. "Never again Kurt," he said the dark rage barely suppressed under the obvious caring and affection, "no one will ever be permitted to hurt you again let alone attempt to violate you in such a manner." Sebastian pulled the boy to him wrapping both arms around him tucking Kurt's head into his neck. He felt the boy tense and could tell he wanted to pull back but Sebastian was not going to let him. Kurt was his submissive and it was about damn time he was allowed to comfort him, to love him like he deserved to be loved. When Kurt tried to pull back as Sebastian knew he would he tightened his hold and breathed the boy in. "I love you my beautiful Kurt and from now on I will always keep you safe and comfortable and you will never have to doubt if you are loved," Sebastian whispered in the boy's ear. Kurt eventually gave in and went limp resting in Sebastian's arms and Sebastian would have crowed in victory except that would have meant releasing Kurt which he wasn't ready to do just yet. Looking over at Blaine he saw the look of horror in his hazel eyes, Kurt's story having affected him just as deeply as Sebastian. Sebastian kept his arms around Kurt but let Blaine clasp his hand with one of his own attempting to comfort both his submissive's and letting Kurt draw comfort from the closeness of both of his soulmates.
Burt made a pot of coffee providing a cup to Carter and Natasha. The three adults sat at the table silently until Burt felt compelled to speak.
"Kurt's not ready for this," Burt said softly, "he just turned sixteen and this is precisely the scenario he didn't want to face."
Natasha looked to her husband worriedly but Carter smiled patting her hand. "He may not think he's ready but there is a reason those names appear when they do," the man said understanding where Burt was coming from as a father, "I've seen many young couples where the submissive wasn't ready that have turned out quite well."
Burt grimaced but didn't argue, he saw where the man was coming from but he didn't know his son and how stubborn Kurt could be. A trait he'd gotten from him he thought smiling momentarily.
"Believe it or not I thought about approaching you first as a parent," Carter said looking at Burt and at the surprised look he smiled, "I know how it can go but frankly I didn't because Sebastian is 17 now and Kurt has turned 16 he had the right to approach without me coddling and leading the way and after how distressed he was yesterday I couldn't keep him away longer then it seemed strictly necessary, it was torturing him knowing something had happened to Kurt and he couldn't get to him," Carter said looking sadly at his coffee, "I couldn't let that go on longer than it had to."
Burt nodded, he understood that completely. "It surprises me he was able to have such a strong reaction despite the vagueness of it given they hadn't connected," Burt admitted.
"I think these triadic bonds run a little deeper than most," Carter said thoughtful, "I've seen a lot of what might be deemed unusual occurrences or over reactions where Sebastian and Blaine are concerned and after the research into triadic bonds I did myself when Sebastian got two soulmates names on his wrist I believe its due to the nature of those bonds."
Natasha looked from her husband to Burt catching Burt's eye, "is Kurt okay?" she asked fretfully. "Sebastian was quite upset, I've never seen my boy so agitated and restless before, Carter does not exaggerate when he states that not being able to get to your son was literally torturing ours," a tear slipped down her cheek as she spoke.
Burt's brow furrowed and his mouth thinned as he thought about the meeting from this morning, the marks he saw last night, and what his son had been through recently. "I won't go into details because I won't betray Kurt by talking about something very private to him without his knowledge but he was tormented by a boy at school and yesterday things came to a head so to speak and he was violently sexually assaulted," Burt said his own rage at the situation still simmering in him. He had let that boy get off far more lightly then he would have liked, but he'd done it for his son so he couldn't regret it to much.
"Oh my god!" Natasha gasped horrified hand rising to cover her mouth. Her eyes darted to the doorway that led to the living room.
Carter growled upon hearing the recent information but brought an arm up to comfort his wife. "It'll be alright now sweetheart," he soothed her kissing her temple, "Sebastian is with him now he'll be able to protect him and help him through this," he said hoping Sebastian could keep his ire in check. He was going to have some homicidal urges toward the boy who had hurt his submissive of this Carter didn't doubt.
"I was extremely upset when I found out as you can well imagine," Burt said to which the two parents nodded, "but the issue was dealt with this morning not to mine or I think Sebastian's satisfaction but to Kurt's which is what I believe matters most."
Carter wasn't so sure but he would let it be.
"NO! I won't" came Kurt's voice from the other room.
Burt jumped up and ran for the living room and Carter and Natasha followed quickly to help keep things in check.
When Burt got to the living room Sebastian and Kurt were standing facing off and Blaine was looking between the two worriedly.
"What's going on in here?" Burt demanded standing between the two boys so as not to make Sebastian think he was being ganged up on by his submissive and another dominant.
"I was explaining to Kurt that we need to pack some of his things so he can be comfortable at the house till the majority of his belongings can be transferred over," Sebastian explained though his voice said enough that he thought he shouldn't have to. "Kurt is trying to outright refuse to leave," Sebastian said the last part in a dangerously low voice.
Burt paled and looked to his son. He knew there was a high chance when Kurt's dominant found him he would want the boy to move in with him. It was the normal thing actually, the concession Finn had made Rachel was beyond considerate but even that had ultimately not worked as their moving in here this weekend could attest to. By law once connected the submissive had to live with the dominant in a residence of their choosing.
"Kurt buddy," Burt started but the placating only set his son off further.
"How can you side with him," Kurt spat out as though Sebastian were the most offensive person he'd ever meant, "I'm your son you should be siding with me," Kurt added the look of hurt clear as day on his face, "I do not want to move."
"That's not your decision," Sebastian said firmly.
"You don't get to make my decisions," Kurt said back stubbornly.
"That's enough Kurt," Burt said and when those blue-green eyes, Lizzie's eyes, looked at him with such hurt and confusion Burt almost broke but he had to be strong here for his son. "Son be rational your good at that," Burt said smiling, "you know legally your bound to Sebastian now that you've connected and by law you have to reside in the same residence with him, your connection won't allow you to live separately regardless of the law" Burt said rationally himself, "think about it kiddo Finn and Rachel are moving in this weekend and I love that you don't want to leave your family but do you really think we can fit me and Carole, Finn and Rachel, and you and Blaine and Sebastian?"
Kurt's brow furrowed he wanted to argue but he couldn't find any holes in his dad's rationale and whatever else Kurt was he was rational, most of the time. "No," he whispered shoulders slumping.
"So you see its best if you move in with Sebastian and Blaine at his parent's place," Burt said softly even though it killed him to say it.
Kurt started crying again and went to try and hug his dad but Burt backed up. "Kurt please you know we can't right now don't make this harder on me buddy you know I want to too," Burt said pleading with his son. It killed him not to be able to take his baby boy in his arms but right now it would only aggravate a tense situation.
"I DON'T CARE!" Kurt screamed emotions overwhelming him as he full out broke down sobbing trying to move to his father. The brunette felt Blaine grab his hand to keep him from walking and tried to pull away. "Let me go Blaine," the boy demanded tearfully, voice hiccuping.
"Kurt don't do this don't incite something," Blaine pleaded knowing it wouldn't end well. "In a few days when the connection has settled you can see your dad but right now everything is just running a bit high," Blaine said softly.
Sebastian felt his hands curling into fists and his anger trying to overwhelm him at Kurt's reticence. He was trying to keep himself in check knowing it wouldn't help but it was getting harder. Kurt was his soulmate, his submissive, he was HIS dammit!
Blaine saw the tense lines of his dominant's body and got up running a soothing hand down Sebastian's arm smiling when those green eyes found him. "Kurt why don't you let me help you pack some things up," Blaine said turning to the brunette who wasn't looking at anyone by this point only staring sadly at the floor.
"I can do it myself," the boy whispered pulling away and stiffly walking up the staircase refusing to look at anyone, his sniffles from crying clear in the silent room.
Everyone jumped when they heard the door slam upstairs.
"Well son I will say one thing at least one of your soulmates is going to give you a run for your money," Carter said teasingly. "Ouch," he said when Natasha hit his arm.
Sebastian glared at his dad but suddenly a laugh escaped him against his wishes. Okay so he needed that still he hated his dad at the moment. He looked to Blaine and took the submissive in his arms needing the calming influence of one obedient soulmate since apparently the other one was going to test him in every way possible.
Burt had turned and was staring at a photograph in his hands. He walked over to Sebastian and handed the frame towards him. "Take that and put it where he can see it," Burt said firmly, "and so help me god if you hurt my boy I'll get out my shotgun and kill you myself and as congressman I could properly be rid of your body fairly easily," Burt said seriously before walking back in the kitchen.
Sebastian took the photo and then his eyes widened at the threat. He watched the man leave and then look to his dad.
"Don't look at me I'm just the states attorney he's above me pal," Carter said raising his hands in defeat smiling.
Sebastian shook his head and looked down to the photo in his hand. It held what was obviously a younger Burt Hummel who had a big smile on his face and a hand placed gently on a woman's shoulder his eyes looking at her with clear to see love and adoration. She was beautiful and the resemblance to Kurt was uncanny same chestnut hair, same pale skin, same upturned nose, same eyes with that color that defied a definition. She was simply stunning, like his Kurt, and she was smiling with a boy of probably no more than 7 on her lap her face pressed to his love written in every line. The little boy was smiling happily his smile big and bright, eyes like his mother shining at the camera. This was undoubtedly Kurt and his mother and Sebastian found his fingers tracing over the two. For a moment he couldn't imagine the loss Burt must have felt when his soulmate died and part of him gave credit to the man who was probably feeling loss again as Sebastian took his son, his only child, and his wife's legacy. He vowed to let the two see each other again just as soon as the connection settled.
He looked up as though drawn as Kurt descended the stairs with a large suitcase in one hand, a slightly smaller suitcase in the other, a mid-size bag hanging from one elbow, and a small bag hanging on the other arm.
"I did say we would move everything as quickly as can be arranged," Sebastian said.
"Oh this isn't close to everything," Kurt said with a haughty look that said he thought Sebastian was a moron, "but it is what I'll need till everything can be moved since your taking me from my room, my home, my family, my street, and my life," Kurt said sassily.
Sebastian sighed and clutched the picture frame to him. He would see Kurt smile again, he would.
Kurt and his father's goodbye was stilted as neither quite knew what to say or do never imagining they would have to do this so soon let alone today. Burt promised to arrange to see his son as soon as possible and Kurt nodded eyes glistening with unshed tears when he couldn't even hug his dad goodbye. Carter and Natasha headed out first to open the car.
"That's a Porsche," Kurt said starring at the vehicle, "that's a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S," Kurt said admiring the vehicle as he approached it.
"Oh I like this one he's a keeper," Carter said smiling at Kurt.
Kurt managed a small smile back and the family counted that as a win as they loaded his bags in the trunk. Once everyone was seated with Blaine sitting between Sebastian and Kurt because Kurt wanted to sit by the window and Blaine was a good buffer they started the drive home.
Kurt started crying at some point though he couldn't have told you precisely when. He was leaning against the door staring out the window watching his home and his father get further away from him and the tears just fell. They were silent tears, not the loud sobs of earlier, as though his mind and body had accepted what was happening and mourning what was lost. Kurt watched the homes get bigger and grander till they pulled down a subdivision full of large scale homes he didn't even know existed. They passed a gate and Kurt marveled at the huge house the car stopped in front of. His tears had stopped for the time though the dried tracks could be seen on his cheeks and he didn't feel compelled to wipe them away. He slid out of the car as his bags were unloaded and Blaine grabbed his hand guiding him along behind Sebastian into the house. Kurt took everything in with a sort of sedate reaction, letting things go by him instead of fighting. After a long flight of stairs and a trip down multiple hallways they arrived at a set of double doors. Sebastian pushed them open walking inside and beaming at Kurt and Blaine. Blaine pulled Kurt through the doors and Kurt just looked around.
"This is the suite where Blaine and I stay and now you," Sebastian said happily.
Kurt looked at him as if he'd lost his mind.
"I know its a bit to adjust to but you'll get used to it," Sebastian said with ease. He guided Kurt through the outer room that appeared to be a seating area that contained a three person sofa and oval coffee table with two end tables on either end of the sofa, with a 60 inch flat screen across from the sofa. and then pushed open a set of doors that led into the bedroom.
The bedroom area held a beautiful California king silver and mirrored four poster canopy bed with matching silver and mirrored nightstands on each side. Beautiful glass lamps sat on each nightstand to light the area at night, it had a rustic glamour feel to it. Diagonally across from the bed sat what looked to be a very comfy padded armchair with a elegant white glass enamel side table with a small lamp. The spot looked perfect for curling up with a good book and cup of tea. French doors sat across from the bed that led out to a decent sized private balcony which was covered and had a glorious view of the pool and hot tub in the back yard of the estate. On the balcony sat four teak armchairs with patterned upholstery in coastal colors to compliment the wood of the furniture. A chic glass coffee table sat between the four armchairs, two on each side it. Stylish geometric railings surrounded the balcony.
A door to the right of the bed led into the bathroom. Inside the all-white bathroom was a huge over sized shower that had to be ten feet long with simple tiles with a herringbone pattern and a corner bench built into it, with triple body spray jets along the wall and a matching set of chrome faucet and shower head, all enclosed with a large glass partition. In front of the glass partition of the shower sat an elegant white deep tub of molded stone with a mounted tub faucet and shower wand in the same stylish chrome finish as the shower. Across from the shower and tub were three washing stations with quartz counter tops and accented with chrome hardware, a white washed mirror above each station, and triple light sconce above each mirror also with a chrome finish. A floor to ceiling storage tower separated each vanity for towels and products of the person to whom the vanity belonged. Two of the vanities were obviously occupied with each one showcasing the items of the person to whom that vanity belonged giving each its own personality. The third was clean yet empty as though waiting for someone to claim it and personalize it. Chrome hooks were mounted to the wall for easy robe or towel access and a chic crystal bead chandelier sat over the soaking tub giving the area an elegant and glamorous feel.
A doorway off to the left of the washing stations led into a a huge walk-in dressing room with tons of storage for clothes and accessories. Some of the space was taken up with Blaine and Sebastian's clothes but there was a good deal of space for Kurt to put his things. Inside this walk-in dressing room was a small window as well as comfy chairs to sit while putting on shoes or just to relax while trying things on. The space was easily large enough to accommodate two people at once. While back in the bathroom there was a set of french doors to the right of the tub that led out to a small balcony which appeared to connect to the balcony off the bedroom.
Through out the seating area, bedroom, and bathroom was a beautiful hardwood flooring with a driftwood look that provided a natural backdrop and complimented the furniture and coloring of the rooms. A neutral colored cozy area rug sat under the bed adding a touch of warmth. There was a multitude of windows and overall the place was stunning, absolutely gorgeous, and were the circumstances different Kurt would have been in seventh heaven. However, circumstances being what they were all he could feel as he was led about and looked around was lost.
He saw who he presumed to be a butler or some sort of house servant bring his bags in and place them in the sitting room. He stared at his bags not accepting that he was expected to sleep here with Sebastian and Blaine. Sebastian moved past Kurt and placed a frame on the small enamel table by the padded chair. Blue-green eyes looked questioningly at the other boy.
Sebastian watched a myriad of emotions cross Kurt's face as Blaine showed him around their suite. He had noticed the way Kurt looked at the small sitting area and could tell the boy was already fond of it, he wondered if reading was a passion for Kurt. After Blaine's grand tour Kurt stood on the side of the bed closest to the little table and padded chair sitting area with a hand holding one of the bed post as though he might collapse without it staring somewhat vacantly at the balcony. He had watched their butler place his bags in the seating area and seemed in disbelief. Sebastian walked past Kurt to get his attention and placed the picture frame Burt had given him on the small table by the padded chair. If Kurt like to curl up with a book he would have the perfect view of this picture when doing so. When those beautiful eyes looked at him questioning he gestured for him to come over and look.
Kurt walked over to where Sebastian stood and looked at him warily before looking down at the picture he had saw him place down. The moment Kurt saw it he grabbed it and picked it up. A wounded sound escaped him as he collapsed into the chair staring at that picture. More tears made fresh tracks down his face.
"I know this is new for you," Sebastian said kneeling in front of the boy placing a hand on his knee rubbing gently. "I know this is a lot to take in and a lot of changes all at once and that adjusting is going to take time," he added softly lifting up to bring a hand to Kurt's cheek brushing the tears away. "Just give things a chance Kurt, give me a chance, let me and Blaine be there for you, with you, let us care and love you," the boy said firmly but kindly, "I promise you won't regret it."
"Its not like your giving me much choice," Kurt said sadly, grief over the life he was loosing overwhelming his anger for the moment.
Sebastian rose sighing, begrudging acceptance was the best he was going to get he could tell. If Kurt needed to make him the bad guy right now he'd let him for now. "Let's get you unpacked," he said moving to bring the bags in the bedroom.
"Could you and Blaine just leave me alone for awhile," Kurt said looking at the picture. "I'm capable of unpacking my stuff and Blaine has pretty much shown me around so I know where to put things," the boy added really wanting them to go.
"Kurt I'd really rather spend—"
"Please," Kurt said voice breaking on that one word.
"Okay," Sebastian relented, "let us know if you need anything," he said walking over and placing a kiss on Kurt's head. He felt Kurt tense beneath him and soldiered through it. "Come on Blaine," Sebastian said holding a hand out for the boy who had been silently sitting on the bed watching the exchange thus far.
Blaine slipped off the bed taking Sebastian's hand. He looked at Kurt sorrowfully but the boy wouldn't grace either of them with eye contact at the moment.
Sebastian pulled the curly haired boy out of the room shutting the door behind him. He waited for a few moments and guided Blaine downstairs. As he hit the bottom step he felt a sharp pain in his heart and knew it was Kurt and that he wasn't hurt just emotionally torn, woefully upset, and Sebastian hated that but he knew he needed to let the boy be for now.
The moment Kurt heard the footsteps of Blaine and Sebastian fade away he broke down. Sobs escaped him uncontrollably and he clutched the picture to his chest letting the tears come. It was a good half hour before the tears started to dry up. Kurt sniffled trying to pull the tatters of himself together. He placed the picture frame down and walked to his bags, sighing he picked up the bags and took them to the bathroom. Grabbing the smallest bag he walked over to the empty vanity and carefully began pulling out his products. He started placing his facial creams and cleansers in order and then lined up his hair products along with brush and comb, slowly the vanity began to reflect the persona of its owner much like the other two reflected their owners. He looked at himself in the mirror and winced at how awful he looked. His face was red and blotchy and his eyes were red rimmed and agitated from so much crying. After setting his stuff out he turned the water on splashing his face and cleaning himself up a bit. He felt a little more human after and took his bag of clothes into the walk-in dressing room. He half halfheartedly began to hang his clothes up in the empty space.
Once all of his stuff was put away he stowed his bags away and walked back out to the bedroom. He took one look at the bed and shuddered and immediately moved forward opening the french doors to step out on the balcony. He let himself slide into one of the arm chairs amazed at how comfortable they were. Glasz eyes roamed over the property. The pool was quite beautiful with lush greenery surrounding it and a little man-made waterfall. It went deep enough to have a diving board which Kurt liked, he always thought pools that only went to 5 feet deep weren't really pools, of course this was Ohio not a lot of people had them in the first place. The hot tub looked incredibly tempting and if weren't for the fact that Kurt would have to face people to get to it he might consider it.
The boy sat out there for a what must have been over an hour because the daylight started to shift as the sun began its descent. It was obviously getting closer to evening time. He heard a door inside and tensed immediately. When he saw Sebastian's mother Natasha appear he relaxed a bit.
"I always liked this balcony," she commented, "it has by far the best view." She smiled at Kurt moving to sit in the chair next to him. "I thought I'd come see how you were settling, see if you were hungry," she said softly. Kurt's stomach chose that moment to growl, and really since a piece of strawberry cheesecake that morning was all he had eaten that day it was no wonder his stomach was protesting. She laughed congenially and patted his knee. "Why don't we get you something to eat eh?"
Kurt nodded softly and followed her up and out of the room. Now that he was paying bit more attention he was able to take in the grandness of the house. When they got to the kitchen though he was floored. The kitchen was one of Kurt's favorite rooms since he loved to cook, and this kitchen was a dream to him. The granite counter tops beautifully matched the white of the cabinets with nobs and handles that gave it chic country feel with a bit of antique elegance. The double door stainless steel refrigerator stood off to the side with two small cabinets above it. Across from the fridge was an island with a bar that wrapped around with three very comfy looking bar stools. The gas range stove sat in in the middle of the island counter with decent counter space on either side for when cooking. There was a double oven one on top of the other across from the other end of the island bar. Two tall cabinets were set above the ovens. Then a large area with sink and dishwasher was next the the ovens. There was a thin floor cabinet and drawer then the stainless steel dishwasher and a wide large cabinet above. The sink was strategically next with two cabinets of course underneath and a giant window over the sink so one could look outside and enjoy the view while cleaning. On the other side of the sink was tons of counter space with nicely sized cabinets up top going with the curve in design and a row of drawers next to the cabinets under the sink followed bye one of those corner swinging cabinets and then two more cabinets with drawer above them before meeting the wall. Three hanging lights hung over the bar with fiver overhead small lights ensconced in the ceiling in the kitchen. There was a nice hardwood flooring through the kitchen and the eat in nook across from it.
The eat in nook had a beautiful round dining table with whimsical scrolled legs and sturdy hardwood base all in an antique ivory color with a round fine grained top of a darker cherry color. Three of the chairs around the table were occupied and the chairs themselves matched the table with the bases and sides being the same ivory color and the seats and backs the same cherry color as the top of the table. The set was gorgeous and went so well with the kitchen. Kurt gave props to the interior designer whom he figured was probably Natasha. A buffet that matched the dining table sat to the side, it had two cabinets and two drawers with a tray sitting on the wood above. The bay windows in the eating area provided wonderful natural lighting giving the area a homey feel.
Sebastian noticed Kurt first and got up. "Come here and sit down Kurt," Sebastian said taking the boys arm and guiding him into a seat between him and Blaine. "You must be starving," he added encouraging the brunette to partake of the food on the table.
Blaine looked over smiling at Kurt sweetly as the boy entered and Kurt couldn't help but smile back as Sebastian guided him into his seat. Kurt gathered up some fruit and veggies from the center of the table along with some dip and started to nibble on the food somewhat uncomfortable in the presence of people he still considered strangers. He tensed automatically upon feeling Sebastian's hand brush his back as the boy placed a hand on the back of his chair but tried to make himself relax when it was obvious the hand wasn't going anywhere and neither was Sebastian for that matter.
"Here you go sweetheart," Natasha said putting a cup of steaming liquid in front of Kurt, "some nice jasmine tea for you," the woman said smiling brightly at the youngest boy.
"Thank you," Kurt said softly, adding some Splenda and honey to the tea and taking a small sip. The taste and warmth bringing a small genuine smile to his face as it just so happened that jasmine tea was his favorite. Even though the smile was small and over such a small thing since it was the first genuine smile Kurt had given since entering the house the family took it as a win, albeit a small one.
The next couple hours were spent enjoying a light snack while telling Kurt about the neighborhood and the new school he'd be attending. Blaine was more than happy to tell Kurt all about Dalton while Sebastian and the adults smiled at his exuberance.
"What extra curricular activities did you engage in at McKinley Kurt," Carter Smythe asked interested.
"I was on the football team briefly my sophomore year as the kicker," Kurt said, "but I didn't really enjoy it so I ended up dropping it," he said shrugging, "I was a better Cheerio anyway," he added.
"A Cheerio?" Natasha asked, "is that a cheerleader?"
"Yeah," Kurt said smiling, "I'm on the Cheerios, we are, well I guess I'm not really a part of them anymore," he said smile disappearing, "their a nationally ranked cheer team," he said finishing his thought, "the coach, Coach Sylvester is a little crazy but she get's results."
"Sue Sylvester?" Carter questioned. When Kurt nodded the man shuddered making Kurt smirk at the woman whose reputation proceeded her.
Meanwhile, Sebastian was trying not to get a boner thinking of his Kurt as a cheerleader, in a uniform doing all kinds of moves, and dammit now he had a boner at the table with his parents. The way his dad smirked at him made Sebastian positive the man knew just what thoughts were going on in his head.
"You said you were in Glee," Blaine piped up, "what's your range?"
"I'm a countertenor," Kurt said. Sebastian whistled causing everyone to look at him.
"Countertenors are rare and highly coveted in show choir our council is going to want to snap you up for sure," Sebastian said knowingly.
It was strange to Kurt to think a group would aggressively pursue him for his voice when Mr. Schue had been more than happy to pretend Kurt didn't exist.
"When will I start Dalton?" Kurt asked wearily.
"Well the year is up next week so we'll wait and start you at the school for Senior year," Carter said. "I'll pull your grades but from the information your dad sent over leaving McKinley early won't hurt you or hold you back with the GPA you have and plus with the incident that occurred," he sad glossing over it knowing Kurt wouldn't want to talk about it, "you'll be fine."
"That gives you a week to hang out with us adults while they finish Junior year," Natasha teased Blaine and Sebastian making the former pout and the latter glare at the idea of having to be way from their newest soulmate while they finished Junior year.
Time seemed to go by while the family chattered on learning about their newest member and in turning filling him in on all the things about them. Kurt got to hear about how Carter and Natasha meant when he was vacationing in France and that besides Sebastian they had two more children. Their first born Adrien lived in New York and despite extensive searching had yet to find his submissive soulmate. Their second child Eila, a submissive, was currently attending college over in France and she had also not yet meant her soulmate but she wasn't searching them out at present either. The family mentioned how excited both siblings would be to meet Kurt. Kurt couldn't help but think when they mentioned Sebastian's sister how she was doing what he'd wanted to do, he kept the thought to himself though. The brunette learned how Blaine and Sebastian meant quite by accident at school in a manner similar to some of his friends at McKinley including his stepbrother. Kurt told the Smythe's about his mother's passing and how his dad meant Carol and how Finn became his step-brother and how he meant his submissive soulmate Rachel. Kurt learned Blaine had an obsession with bowties and hair gel the latter he had smacked Sebastian on the shoulder for and that Sebastian had an obsession for lacrosse and Blaine to which Blaine had blushed. At that moment they had both assured Kurt though they were super happy to have found him and connected, and that he was here. They both leaned in at the same time to kiss an unsuspecting Kurt each catching a cheek making the boy turn beet red. Natasha had grabbed her phone with super human speed, in Kurt's opinion, to quickly snap a picture of the moment saying it was just too cute. It had gotten late without anyone knowing.
Kurt, who had told everyone about his love of cooking, was snatched up by Natasha to help her make dinner while the rest of the boys were shooed off to clean up and make themselves useful as she put it.
"I know things are overwhelming right now," Natasha said as she and Kurt moved around the kitchen cooking like a well oiled machine despite Kurt being new to this kitchen and having only just meant the woman. "But I really do think that if you give yourself the chance you could be happy with my son and Blaine," she said sincerely.
Kurt looked at her and took a moment to think about his response. "It isn't that I didn't want to find them or connect," Kurt said trying to explain his jumbled feelings. "Its just I wanted to control my own life for a while, graduate high school, go to the college of my choice and graduate from there and become a successful professional," he said passionately, "like your daughter is doing," he added in a whisper. "I also didn't want to have to leave my dad till I left for college," Kurt added sadly, "it was just him and me after mom died and we've always been there for one another and it was going to be hard enough to separate when I went to college but now we've had to do it so much sooner not to mention the traditional Friday night dinner I'm missing out on with him right now," Kurt said bitterly as he continued the food preparation he was working on his love of cokking not being able to make him feel better about not being with his dad. "I feel like I won't be able to do everything I wanted with my life anymore," Kurt said putting down the things he was doing, "not a real big fan of the idea of living my life and doing things by committee," he said sourly thinking about how with one word Sebastian could pretty much stop him from doing what he wanted.
Natasha understood, Kurt was an independent and free spirit, like her daughter, and he was scared Sebastian was going to try and tie him down or tame him. She wanted to tell him otherwise but it was likely that to a certain degree her son would do just that. It was who he was, he had to have control of his submissive's but not just because of the control factor but because it made him feel more capable of protecting them that way. She wasn't sure what to say to Kurt knowing that telling him that would make him feel no better right now.
"Well how bout we focus on the good things," she said trying to be cheerful, "like how happy I am to finally have someone who can help me and carry their own in the kitchen," she said laughing.
Kurt smiled at her appreciating the attempts to try and make him feel better even if they didn't really work and to make him feel included. Between the two of them dinner was done in no time and suddenly everyone was back at the table plowing in to dinner. Dinner was a mostly silent affair though there were plenty of compliments on the food. Kurt was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the time passing by till dinner was over. In his attempt to stall being alone with Sebastian and Blaine for as long as possible Kurt offered to do most of the clean up duties after dinner earning Natasha's love and eternal gratitude since in her words no one else ever offers to which all the other boys looked away in shame. Eventually though he had no choice but to follow Sebastian and Blaine to their suite. He found himself fidgeting nervously until Blaine took his hand trying to provide some comfort as Sebastian led the way.
"We always wash together," Blaine explained as Sebastian headed for the bathroom immediately upon entering the suite and Blaine pulled Kurt to follow.
Sebastian had already started disrobing when Blaine pulled Kurt in to the luxurious bathroom and the boy looked up smiling at Kurt unable to hide the desire to see under the boy's layers.
"Can't I wash alone?" Kurt ask eyeing the situation warily.
"Kurt I really feel that you'll acclimate better if you try to adjust to our routine sooner rather than later," Sebastian said turning the water on for the tub adding some salts and bubbles for fun.
Kurt disagreed, and the look of horror at the idea that he was expected to get naked with two people who were still strangers to him no matter what his wrists said showed that clearly, but he recognized a loosing battle when he saw one.
Blaine smiled letting Kurt's hand fall and managed to disrobe in record time excitedly hopping into the obscenely luxurious shower. Kurt feels his eyes trail Blaine despite the fact that he can feel he's red as a tomato and not really ready for all this in his opinion. Blaine is a bit shorter than Kurt but more muscular and and definitely more tan and really very handsome with his short dark curls. Sebastian disrobed as well climbed in the tub and though Kurt's less inclined to look at the dominant, who is single handily in Kurt's opinion ruining his life, his eyes do eventually flicker that way and Sebastian seemed prepared for that as green eyes lock onto Kurt's blueish-green ones staring at him boldly as the boy stands in the growing water level. Sebastian is a good few inches taller than him and quite muscular as well. He's not as tan as Blaine but not nearly as pale as Kurt either. The tall boy holds out a hand indicating for Kurt to join him and its on the tip of Kurt's tongue to protest but the look on Sebastian's face clearly explains he won't like the results if he does and the overall outcome won't change only the way in which they get there.
Kurt sighs and begins to shyly disrobe. Shaking hands gently untie his scarf pulling it from his neck and he resolutely doesn't look up at the response. Blaine can't help but gasp when he sees the marks on Kurt's neck from the assault he spoke of, he looks at Sebastian worriedly as the boy growls. Sebastian himself is seething at those marks and is now, if it were possible, more anxious to have Kurt in his arms.
Kurt studiously ignores the sounds and gazes he can feel causing his skin to prickle in unease. He shimmies out of his skinny jeans nervously trying to be clinical about all this lest he lose his nerve completely. He's never been naked in front of anyone and he doesn't exactly feel adequate to the bodies he's being measured against. Fingers numbly undo the buttons on his shirt and he's amazed he's able to complete the task with the internal freak out he has going on right now. As the layers come off other bruises from locker checks and dumpster tosses make themselves known and only makes Kurt more self conscious knowing their seeing the marks of his inability to protect himself which will only ignite Sebastian's protective instincts, something Kurt had wanted to avoid. Finally just his boxer briefs remain and though they don't leave a whole lot to the imagination there his last layer of protection. Feeling that its probably like ripping off a band-aid Kurt quickly pulls them down and stands finally completely naked. He wishes he could calm his nerves or stop his shaking but his attempts so far are not working.
"Hop in," Sebastian says hand still held out for Kurt to take.
Kurt really wants to tell Sebastian to take a flying leap or just ignore him entirely and join Blaine in the spacious shower but neither of those scenarios will end well for him. Slowly he reaches out and let's Sebastian take his shaking hand clasping his own tightly around it and helping Kurt climb into the water. His heart feels like its going to jack rabbit right out of his chest with how fast its going and his anxiety only continues to ratchet up with each passing moment. Kurt feels muscular arms entwined with his wrap around him to hug him tightly to the body behind him and tenses.
"Relax beautiful," Sebastian whispers dropping a kiss on Kurt's shoulder and gently lowering them both into the water. Once submerged Sebastian pulls till Kurt is leaning against him. He swears he's never seen anything more beautiful than the boy in his arms. The marks littering his pale skin have Sebastian's protective instincts in overdrive. He's trying to keep himself as in check as possible but to a certain extent he just can't. He needs Kurt close, needs to know that he can protect him now.
Sebastian is keeping his libido in check, and its taking everything to do so. He does not want to scare Kurt but he wants to get the boy comfortable around him and Blaine, to get him able to open up, and he simply wants to be close. He feels his lips drawn to the column of Kurt's neck lightly kissing the marks there as though he could erase them with his lips alone. He feels a shudder pass through the boy in his arms and smiles knowing he's found a weak spot. He grabs the soft microfiber wash cloth submerging it and using it to wet Kurt's skin. Running the cloth across shoulders and back, arms and neck. He keeps his pace deliberately slow and gentle to relax the boy. He eventually adds soap and begins to wash Kurt running the clothe along his back and shoulders down his arms and across his chest. He lets his hands sink into the water running the cloth over Kurt's abdomen and thighs massaging soothingly into tense muscles. He purposely doesn't touch Kurt in one area knowing the boy isn't ready, this is as far as they go right now. He just keeps cleaning until he's just massaging and when he feels Kurt loosen he presses sweet and tender kisses to each bruise and blemish on the pale canvas of his body. Kurt is truly the most beautiful thing he's ever seen, he wants to hurt the one who put such marks on his pale beauty but he satisfies himself knowing Kurt is safe with him now.
Kurt feels the tension easing from his muscles despite himself as Sebastian methodically washes him. He feels the warm water and firm but gentle touches doing exactly what their meant to, loosening him up and relaxing him. The day has been long with emotion running on high and Kurt is emotionally and physically worn out by this point and though he doesn't want to he finds comfort in letting go and relaxing. He knows in his subconscious down to his soul, like he knows his name, that Sebastian won't let anything happen to him and won't harm him. He doesn't want to trust this boy but instinct wins out in exhaustion. Kurt feels drowsiness creeping in as he lets his limbs loosen and relax the warm water soothing him. He doesn't tense as Sebastian places tender kisses to his skin to tired to fight right now.
Sebastian senses the tiredness taking over, truthfully he'd counted on it. He let's Kurt's head slide to rest against his shoulder kissing the boy's temple. After cleaning Kurt's hair and using the shower wand to rinse it so that he has to move the boy relatively little he finds himself simply sitting enjoying having the boy pressed to him. Eventually he knows they need to get out and when he whispers to Kurt its time to get ready for bed the boy is sleepy enough to need a bit of prompting and the exhaustion combined with his now relaxed state makes the brunette docile enough to allow Sebastian some leeway with him. After drying and dressing in some pajamas. Sebastian gets Kurt to the bed situating him so that Sebastian can spoon behind him and no sooner has he gotten Kurt situated and he notices the boys eyes close in sleep. Blaine has climbed in facing Kurt taking one of his hands to hold while he sleeps.
"You used that lavender aromatherapy that helps induce sleep in the water didn't you," Blaine says no trace of upset at Sebastion's slight deviousness.
"I wanted him to relax and to be able to sleep and to see how soundly he could sleep with us without putting up a fight about it first," Sebastian said shrugging. "Breaking through his reticence is not going to be easy," the boy murmured slipping the covers over them.
"We'll make him see," Blaine said softly smiling while brushing stands of Kurt's hair from his face. "He really is so beautiful," Blaine said adoringly looking at that pale face in sleep, it reminded him of all the paintings of angels he'd seen.
"Willful and stubborn too," Sebastian grumbled, "but yes he is quite the beauty," he admitted kissing the pale cheek that had a slight flush from the heat of the bath.
"I love him so much already," Blaine whispered.
"I do too," Sebastian said before sleep claimed him, "I do too."
