Glad You Came - Chapter 7


Sebastian felt emotionless, his heart frozen and empty with no pain in his eyes, standing next to Finn while Finn talked about how awesome the football game was, trying to get Sebastian and Kurt talking and getting along but it wasn't working - Kurt was filing his nails uneasily, trying to stop looking at Sebastian but he would unintentionally glance at him from time to time, wincing at the sight of Sebastian who looked lost in his thoughts. He looked away, not being able to stand the sight eventhough he used to say he would do anything to see Sebastian getting hurt.

But now, he just wanted to see the familiar smirk on Sebastian's face again. He didn't even care if he had to make himself look bad to do that.

He glanced at Sebastian again and this time, Sebastian was staring back at him - his eyes cold and filled with what looked like eternal misery or burning rage or both. His face remained motionless and Kurt couldn't help but feel guilt for whatever he did - he knew that him saying that he had no brains couldn't be the problem because no one would be insulted by that.

After what felt like hours, Sebastian looked away.

Kurt wanted to say he was sorry but something inside him wouldn't let him, he didn't know what it was but he just sat still, silently praying that Sebastian knew how sorry he was. Sebastian didn't feel it, however; he stormed off, telling them that he needed some fresh air and Kurt winced for the second time, knowing that he stormed off because of him. Finn sighed sadly, staring at Kurt as if he was the person who caused all this.

Kurt stood up slowly, telling Finn that he wanted to walk for a while and Finn nodded, dialling his phone to call Puck. Kurt sighed, walking into his room to change into something more simple, wearing hiking boots which his father got for him but never touched before.

It has been a long time since he went for a walk instead of going shopping to calm his mind - and the last time he did something like this was when his mother passed away, when he was eight. As soon as he stepped outside, the cold autumn breeze blew and Kurt shivered a little - remembering that Sebastian went out without a jacket at all so Kurt was worried that he would get sick.

Where did Sebastian go? Kurt wondered worriedly, thinking of Sebastian being cold and shivering in the climate, although he knew Sebastian wouldn't be put down by a cold weather, he still felt worried - even if Sebastian has been mean to him the entire time. Yet again, Sebastian has done things that has left Kurt confused and even blushing. Like the time he gave him the bear or the way he held him in the haunted maze. It didn't make any sense because Sebastian had always had this "good cop, bad cop" attitude.

Kurt didn't know where he was going, but he ended up by a lake. A lot of other people were there but Kurt kept his eyes fixed like they weren't even there. He remembered when he sat that for hours and hours after his mother died, looking up to the sky, knowing she was up in heaven. He talked, as if his mother was listening for hours and hours until his father found his sitting there, thinking he went missing - knowing Kurt would go to the place where his mother would take him.

Once again, he sat down on the soft green grass and sighed. He looked up the sky again and began to wonder if his mother was really watching him, still caring for him. He felt more safe anyway. It's been a long time since he came to this spot.

He stared into the sky, just like he did when he was eight - apparently, thinking about Sebastian; his smirk, they way he looked at him and everything else. It went on for half an hour before his eyes fluttered shut and he accidentally fell asleep to the sound of birds tweeting.


By the time Kurt woke up from his unintentional nap, it was already dark. He checked his phone to see the time, a quarter past six. Kurt rubbed his eyes, still a little bit sleepy from his nap, but decided to stand up as it is getting late. Normally, he wouldn't care about the time, but it's Saturday, he doesn't want to waste the time when he can just sit in his room and do nothing.

While walking, Kurt sighed to the view. The once cheerful spot has turned rather empty. The people that was once enjoying the lake has now disappeared, the birds that was chanting has now gone silent, the fresh breeze has turned into frozen gusts. It looked depressing.

Another sigh came out of Kurt's breath as he strolled around the once cheerful spot he had always loved. He didn't need another depressing sight, he had enough of those when he saw the way Sebastian looked. He just can't help but blame himself. Somehow, Kurt feels responsible for Sebastian's pain.

Once home, Kurt watched his brother and Puck loudly yell at each other while playing video games. Apparently, Finn cheated his way into beating Puck. Kurt rolled his eyes before deciding to go to his room where there's peace and quiet, the perfect ambiance for thinking.

Kurt scrolled up and down on his phone, trying to find the perfect song to listen to right now. But the thing is, he doesn't really know which song he wants to listen to, a happy song clearly isn't a good choice, neither is a sad song. He threw his phone on the bed in frustration, but picking it back to his hands after a few seconds.

His fingers tapped onto the screen, typing a message.

I know you're mad right now, for whatever I did, I'm sorry.

He looked at the screen, frozen, reading the message he just typed. It took him a full five seconds to start moving again, deleting every letter that was written on the screen. He can't just say sorry like that- no, he doesn't want to say sorry. He deeply inhaled then exhaled before tapping onto his phone again.

From: Kurt (Tuesday, 7.32PM)
Hey.

His fingers hesitated to press send at first, but after gathering up the large amount of courage he very much needed, he finally sent the text. He just needs to hear something from Sebastian again.

Kurt impatiently waited for a reply, checking his phone every few seconds. He wondered if Sebastian got the text, so he sent himself a text which he received, so he must've got the text. After half an hour, Kurt gave up waiting for a reply, he placed his phone beside his pillow and went downstairs for a hot shower.

After his shower, he comes back to his now - too quiet - room. Puck had just left their house, not sleeping over like usual. Kurt couldn't care less, besides, one less person to cook breakfast for.

While waiting for his laptop to open, he fixed his bed, ready for someone to lie down there. Once made sure he will be comfortable in it, he hopped in with his laptop resting on a pillow on top of his lap. He logged onto Facebook just to see what's up with his friends today.

Kurt raised his eyebrow from the sight of all Rachel updates. 'Met with Sam at the park.', 'Had lunch with Sam.', 'Said goodbye to Sam.', he rolled his eyes. Seriously, how many times does this girl need to change her status? he thought.

After a few hours of surfing, he logged off and removed his laptop from his bed. He isn't tired nor sleepy, but he just feels like closing his eyes and do nothing, which he does. Maybe sleeping early isn't that bad, he gets to wake up early tomorrow and- well, he doesn't know. He doesn't have plans tomorrow. Frustrated, he shut his eyes and hoped to fall asleep soon.

But of course, that isn't the case. Before he could even drift off, he heard his phone vibrate. He grabbed his phone desperately hoping it would be Sebastian replying, and it is. Kurt felt excitement rushing through his body from the sight of Sebastian's name on his phone. Too thrilled to wait, he quickly opens the text for him to read.

From: Sebastian (Saturday, 7.59PM)
Hey.

Okay, it wasn't much, but it was a reply, Kurt would like to think that his reply is somehow teasing Kurt for his very short message earlier. He starts tapping onto his phone as fast as he could, which of course causes him to make a lot of typos.

From: Kurt (Saturday, 8.01PM)
What's up? How are you? You just suddenly vanished earlier.

Kurt felt a bit stupid as soon as he sent the text. He didn't mean to sound concern, but he did want to know how Sebastian was doing. Before he could start regretting, a reply comes beeping into his phone.

From: Sebastian (Tuesday, 8.01PM)
Aww, did you miss me already?

And he's back, Kurt thought, even rolling his eyes at that message. He might've missed him, but Kurt's habit of denying everything has gotten in the way of that. He typed in another message, trying to sound like he doesn't care at all, but before he could even finish it, another message from Sebastian comes.

From: Sebastian (Saturday, 8.02PM)
Sorry. Anyways, did you need something?

Kurt's eye widened. Was Sebastian saying sorry? For what? It couldn't have been for teasing. Was he perhaps saying sorry for just leaving without a word earlier? So much questions Kurt wants to ask Sebastian popped into his mind, but he stopped thinking too much and tried his best for a casual reply.

From: Kurt (Saturday, 8.02PM)
What are you doing tomorrow?

It took one minute and a half before Sebastian texted back - not that Kurt was counting... maybe.

From: Sebastian (Saturday, 8.04PM)
Why?

Since he didn't really have anything plans for tomorrow, he thought that maybe he could hang out with Sebastian, he really wants to talk with the guy.

From: Kurt (Saturday, 8.04PM)
Do you wanna hang out tomorrow? Perhaps a movie?

Anticipation once again struck Kurt. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait for long to get his reply.

From: Sebastian (Saturday, 8.05PM)
Are you asking me out on a date? ;)

Kurt can't help but laugh at that one, but unknowingly, he blushed.

From: Kurt (Saturday, 8.05PM)
No, just wanted to hang out.

Kurt forced himself to laugh more. A date, huh. Who does he think he is? he thought. This time, it took Sebastian two, three, four, five minutes - no, still no reply. Was he doing this on purpose? Kurt shrugged. Maybe you really can't expect too much from Sebastian. After ten whole minutes, Kurt, once again decided to just give up and go to sleep, but before locking his phone, a message arrived.

From: Kurt (Saturday, 8.16PM)
Meet you at the theatre tomorrow. I'll be there at one.

A smile flashed out of Kurt's face, he himself doesn't know why. Is it front the fact that he will be seeing Sebastian tomorrow? Or because he feels like even just a little bit, he got Sebastian to say yes to something. He put his phone away and closes his eyes, still smiling and slowly drifting off to sleep.


Kurt's been trying to find perfect clothes for him to wear since two hours ago, and he only had forty-five minutes to go and meet Sebastian at the theatre. He felt ridiculous - he was always the type that wanted to impress but this was just stupid. Why was it that he felt like being more impressive around Sebastian? He was just Sebastian, isn't he?

After putting on some long-sleeved grey shirt with a black vest and some black trousers, he decided to hurry up because he had only twenty-five minutes more before he had to meet Sebastian. Luckily it wasn't far away. It took him ten minutes arrive and he saw Sebastian, wearing a casual black polo shirt and some jeans but Kurt thought he looked hot in those-

Kurt stopped himself. Hot?

"There you are, Kurt," Sebastian said with a smirk. He paused, scanning Kurt's body up and down and Kurt blushed. "Hot. But come on, we have fifteen minutes."

Kurt swore that he was blushing so hard that Sebastian could've seen him - Sebastian called him hot. Eventually, his smile faded into a frown after realizing that he was supposed to blush on whatever Blaine was saying, not Sebastian. "Um, yeah thanks," Kurt said briskly, trying to hide his blush.

The queue for the tickets but it felt like hours to Kurt. Sebastian was standing right next to him. He tried to act normal but he felt like he was going crazy - what ticked him off is that he had no idea why.

Sebastian looked completely at ease - there was no signs of pain or anything but Sebastian still had those slight hints of distress. Unintentionally, Sebastian hand actually held Kurt's hand, gripping tightly, looking lost in thought. Kurt, however, had his heart pounding as he tried to pull away - but Sebastian's grip was really hard and he was stuck.

"Sebastian?" Kurt said uneasily and Sebastian looked at him and yelped, pulling back.

"Sorry," he mumbled, his cheeks slightly pink.

Kurt blushed again. The awkwardness was stuck in the air even during the movie; neither of them said a word to one another. Watching the movie was hell. Kurt offered to watch the 3D version of Titanic but Sebastian said it was 'crappy' and 'cheesy' and 'boring' and that he would die of the cheesiness in there, so instead, Sebastian chose a horror movie that made Kurt scream and shriek every five minutes and it reminded vaguely of the time they were stuck in the haunted maze together.

"Sebastian?" Kurt said, shortly after they came out of the movie. Sebastian turned to face him, raising an eyebrow. "I'm really sorry for what I said... whatever it was that made you upset. I'm sorry, you're not useless... I just - "

Sebastian sighed. "Its not you, Kurt."

Kurt didn't believe him though. What else would be the source of Sebastian's problems?

"It's not you," Sebastian repeated, staring into nothingness.

"Then... what's wrong?" Kurt asked slowly, daring to hold Sebastian's hand in his own, lacing their fingers together. Sebastian looked down, eyes widening at the gesture before he sighed. "Tell me what's wrong."

Kurt wasn't sure why he was doing this but he felt the need to open up to Sebastian, to make sure he would be alright and he wanted Sebastian to trust him - to see him as a person who will help him. He honestly didn't now why, because Sebastian has usually been nothing but cruel to him. But... not all the time.

In fact, there were times that Kurt just couldn't explain Sebastian's attitude. He just... changed a lot.

"I swear it's not you," Sebastian mumbled. "It's... a long story."

"But I-"

Sebastian shook his head, actually smiling this time. "I'm sorry, Kurt. I know you're trying to help but I don't want it."

Kurt pouted sadly - he really wanted to help but Sebastian just wouldn't budge. Maybe Sebastian just doesn't trust me at all, he thought miserably. Maybe we'll never be friends. "Okay," Kurt said sadly. Sebastian stared at him again, as if trying to understand him. Their eyes met and Kurt shuffled uneasily.

It felt like hours to Kurt. Again. He didn't know what to do except stare back, into Sebastian's beautiful green eyes - not being able to look away. The feeling was bittersweet; bitter because he could see sad untold stories swimming endlessly in his eyes, trying to find a way to go away but he had nothing he could do. Sweet because his heart was thrumming so fast that he couldn't even breathe.

"Well, I gotta go," Kurt said quickly, his eyes flickering back and forth. "Goodbye, Sebastian."

"Goodbye," Sebastian said, looking defeated.

Kurt, not being able to contain himself, pulling Sebastian into a tight hug. Sebastian stayed frozen before he hesitantly wrapped his arms around Kurt, looking confused. Sebastian was so, so warm and Kurt wanted to stay in his arms forever. "Call me if you need me, okay?" Kurt asked after pulling away.

"Oh, uh... okay," Sebastian said blankly, looking lost. Kurt could see his cheeks turning slightly pink and Kurt knew that he was blushing too.

After another quick hug, Kurt said goodbye again and walked off.


Kurt felt extremely bored being next to Karofsky and he had no idea why because usually his friend always made him laugh. Maybe it was because of the way he says things that made absolutely no sense at all.

He hasn't seen Sebastian since they went to the movies but eventhough Kurt wouldn't admit it, he missed him like crazy. They haven't been texting because Kurt has been so busy with school work and other crap like that. Sebastian hasn't been coming to their house to visit Finn either, maybe he was busy too. Nevertheless, Kurt wanted to see him again and he didn't know why.

"Karofsky, how is you and the whole 'coming out' thing going?" Kurt asked, dying to change the subject, staring at his cheesecake, poking it in boredom. Lima Bean was now the place him and Karofsky hung out but part of him wanted to hang out with someone else. Karofsky was his best friend but he wanted to hang around with other people too.

Karofsky let out a sad sigh. "I can't even come out to anyone," he mumbled. "Ever since Sebastian said it was a bad idea. Maybe he's right."

Kurt shook his head. "He can't control you, Dave. Besides he's kinda-" As if right on cue, Sebastian walked in, dressed in his Dalton Academy Uniform, going to the counter to buy some coffee. "Never mind. Anyway, what's a straight guy doing in a gay bar anyway?"

Karofsky stared at him in confusion. "Sebastian's n-"

Karofsky's cellphone rang and he groaned, answering it. "It's my dad," he mumbled. "I gotta go now, Kurt. See you later, okay?"

"Alright, see you," Kurt said. Karofsky left and Kurt quickly covered his face with the Vogue magazine in his hand - hoping Sebastian didn't see him. Sebastian's eyes were fixed on a book he was reading and Kurt was thanking the book for drawing his attention away from him. He heard the doors of Lima Bean open and he noticed his two friends, Brittany and Santana together, holding one another's hands.

Brittany gave Kurt a little wave when she noticed him but Kurt was confused because he saw Santana walking over to Sebastian, with Brittany following after her. Sebastian looked up at them, confused and Santana said something that made him look at her in a stunned way. Sebastian said something and Santana replied, with that look on her face. Kurt had to resist the urge to barf.

She's asking him out to have sex or a threesome or whatever, Kurt thought in disgust, watching the two of them talking, noticing the frowns on Brittany and Santana's face. Santana said something again, looking pissed and Sebastian said something that made her roll her eyes and storm off, Brittany following behind her, muttering something like, "Why are they all playing for the different team?"

Kurt froze. Playing for a different team?

He heard Sebastian sigh. "You don't have to hide yourself, Kurt. For whatever the reason is."

Kurt felt his face flush, feeling like a stalker or something. "Sorry."

Sebastian smiled at him, not a smirk this time. "No need to say you're sorry. Now, may I know why you're eavesdropping on me and those girls back then?"

"Ummm... I... You're... gay?"

Sebastian stared at Kurt as if he asked him if he was human. "Wait, you don't know about that?" he asked. "Almost everyone knows. Why do you think I go to a gay bar, then?"

Kurt lowered his head. "God, why didn't I figure that out?" he mumbled. "And why did I say you didn't know how coming out feels like?"

Sebastian shrugged. "Well, you were mean."

"Hey, I'm saying sorry and you say I'm mean?" Kurt said, angry and amused at the same time.

"It's true," Sebastian smirked.

Kurt felt himself relaxing, glad that Sebastian is back to his normal self. "Fine," Kurt pouted. "But you owe me a cheesecake."

Sebastian smiled again. "Anything you want."


Wow, I'm not really happy with how that turned out because I can't help but feel it's too rushed. Originally, this chapter and the next one was supposed to be together but it was too long. And besides, the angsty moments are coming so I want to give you fluffy moments as much as I can.

Review please? :D
