It was Kurt's phone going off loudly (his ringtone was from Wicked, of course it was) and the movement of him leaving my arms that woke me up. It also woke up everyone else in the room because Kurt had to navigate his way over sleeping bodies and his phone rang the entire time it took him to do this, including when he tripped over Trent. I opened my eyes to see him retreating into the kitchen while everyone else was waking up. I got up and followed him curiously.
"Rachel, Rachel," He was stage whispering into the phone looking exasperated, "Rachel! Stop! I will explain later once I get home. I promise. No. No. Look I don't know. Just let me. Stop it! I will talk to you later! Cross my heart and swear on Barbra. Yes. Yes, okay. Bye." He hung up with a heavy sigh and rubbed his face.
"What's up, babe?" I asked leaning on the door frame. He looked up startled and blushed.
"Oh, um, just my friends freaking out."
"About what?" He bit his lip.
"Oh, um, you?" I raised an eyebrow and walked over to him.
"Me? Are your friends physic?" He blushed and tried to cover his face. "What?" I reached up and pulled his hands from his face. He looked up at me sheepishly.
"I might have, in my lack of sleep and slightly drunk state, changed my Facebook relationship status late last night and now all my friends are waking up and seeing it and getting pissed and confused." I laughed. "Sorry. It was dumb. I mean I don't even know if we, you know, are in a relationship. Are we?" He looked at the floor. He was asking me?
"It wasn't dumb. I like the idea of logging on to Facebook and seeing that." I admitted and his smile was enough to insure me that it was what he had wanted to hear. "In fact." I pulled out my own cell phone from my pocket and saw the notification on my Facebook and smiled at it. I clicked accept and then held it up to show him. "See? Now we are both in a relationship."
"With each other."
"Yeah."
"I'm glad."
"Me too. Are your friends going to kill us?"
"Maybe a little, but I'll protect you." He giggled and I laughed along. Then I lifted his chin and kissed him. "Nnngg, Seb. Morning breath." He whined and pulled away with a wince.
I laughed and grabbed his hand to pull him back to the other room. The boys were packing up the fort and we joined in to help since some of the boys were actually pretty hung over. Jeff was a mess. I knew with him though it was from eating too much chocolate and crap, not from being too drunk.
"Hey, Seb, Kurt, you want to help me make breakfast?" Wes asked after the fort was dismantled. Kurt looked like he was going to agree but I had an idea so I answered for him.
"Princess can't, Wes," I interrupted, "I'm going to take him out for breakfast." Kurt looked over at me surprised.
"Oh, really?" He asked sounding intrigued.
"Yup."
"Ooooo! First official date!" Jeff called from the floor without opening his eyes. Someone kicked him. "Ow!"
"Be nice, Jeffery." David scolded. "No teasing the new couple until Seb fucks up."
"Hey!" I shouted out affronted. Kurt laughed. I pouted at him and he shoved my shoulder amicably.
"Well, I am going to cook." Wes said standing up and brushing off his pants. "So if you don't live here, aren't going to help me, or not going to eat my food, get out." He stared at us pointedly.
"Fine!" I stuck out my tongue at him and heard Kurt's musical laughter.
"Come on, Seb," He said taking my arm and tugging me towards the door, "Come buy me breakfast."
"Yes, sir!" I waved to the guys. "Bye everyone!"
"Thanks for the fun night!" Kurt called. "Stay in touch!" After some more waving and a couple quick hugs we were out the door walking towards our cars. We paused at the street by the parked cars.
"So… Umm I figured we'd just go separately and meet there cause of our separate cars and stuff?" I offered awkwardly feeling dumb for not thinking this through better.
"Yeah sure." He bit his lip grinning at me. He was laughing at me. Shit.
"Fuck. I'm an idiot aren't I?" He frowned at me looking confused. "Is this were you tell me you've come to your senses? Where you tell me we would never work out and you can't really ever forgive me for all those awful things? Because you are so far out of my league I must have been joking to think I'd ever seriously have a chance to be with you?" He shook his head at me, eyes wide, and reached over and grabbed my shirt and kissed me. Hard. Oh. Well, okay then.
"Shut up. Now you are being an idoit." He whispered.
"What happened to no kissing with morning breath?" I asked with a breathless chuckle.
"Yeah well, you were being dumb."
"Sorry." I had the shame to look sheepish. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"I know it is going to be hard. I know we haven't had the best past and I know that my friends are going to be ruthless about this and I know that we will probably fight but there is also the chance that we could actually work out. That any fights will be forgiven with mind blowing make up sex." I chuckled at that. God I hoped so. "That we will be amazing and be an epic power couple. Maybe we won't make it through the summer but maybe we will. Maybe we'll move to New York together next fall and get a little apartment with a kitchen where I can make us crepes in morning before we have class and we'll only fight about whose turn it is to make the bed or do the dishes."
I wanted that. I wanted that so badly. I was done playing around. I wanted a real relationship, that meant something. I wanted it with Kurt. And the best part was that Kurt wanted it too. Or at least he was willing to give us a chance together. I didn't know what to say, so I just kissed him hard until we were both breathless.
"Now come on," Kurt said after we caught our breath, "I am pretty sure my brand new boyfriend promised me breakfast."
Notes: This is the last official chapter. But I may periodically post epilogues in the form of one shots for things like the first date, the friends finding out, Blaine finding out, Seb meeting Burt. Etc. So keep paying attention. In the mean while I have another Kurtbastian on the way. Thanks for reading!
