Kurt wanted to go after Sebastian, to ask him what's wrong but Lucas stopped him by grabbing his wrist. He shook his head lightly "Let him be alone for a minute."

Kurt didn't argue with that, but he kept turning to the garden go see if Sebastian was still in sight.

The tall blonde was sitting on the bench in the garden, looking down on the ground. He looked up and caught Kurt checking on him. Sebastian quickly looked away.

"Lucas...are you sure he's okay?" Kurt asked quietly.

"Yes, he needs to have a moment." Lucas whispered back.

Kurt wanted to ask more but Sisi brought his attention back to the party "Presents!"

"Maybe I should go get Seb, Sisi would want him here." Kurt stopped Lucas before he could leave. "It's okay, I'll go."

"Hey..." Sebastian looked up at the sound and saw Kurt walking towards him. "Sisi is going to open her presents. Don't you want show her the present you got her?"

"O-okay" Sebastian got up from the bench and started walking back to the house.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Kurt asked while trying to keep up with Sebastian.

Sebastian turned suddenly and Kurt almost crashed on him, he looked up and found himself standing way too close to Sebastian.

The taller boy held Kurt's arms before Kurt could step back. "Can you stay a little longer after the party?"

"Umm, I mean yes I guess it's okay."

"I'll...I will tell you then." Before Kurt could say anything, Sebastian walked back into the house.

Sisi loved every one of her gifts, especially Kurt's. The kids went to play games with Lola and some of the Warblers, while Kurt stayed behind in the kitchen, trying to help clean up.

"Kurt, sweetie you really don't have to. You're a guest! Go join the boys." Edie stopped him and tried to push him away from the mess.

"But-"

"I insist." Edie gave him a one arm hug.

"Go find Sebastian and Lucas. I think they need you. Especially Bas." She whispered next to Kurt's ear.

Kurt didn't say anything but nodded and quietly moved to find the brothers.

Kurt checked out the living room but didn't find the boys so he gingerly went upstairs.

The door to Sebastian's room was not closed so Kurt saw them sitting side by side on the bed with backs facing the door. Kurt knocked the door and Lucas turned immediately "Kurt!"

"Hey...I was wondering where you guys were."

"Just...trying to avoid the kids for a while, one four year old is fine and Sisi is our princess, but ten pre-schoolers are horrifying!" Lucas faked a scared look.

Kurt smiled "I think they are having fun." His eyes fell onto Sebastian's back. The tall blonde didn't look at him or say a word since Kurt walked into the room.

"Alright, I should go check on Sisi." Lucas gave a little squeeze to Sebastian's shoulder, the older boy nodded and Lucas left the room.

"Umm, I'll just go help Luc-"

"Stay." Sebastian called.

Kurt didn't say anything but quietly walked toward the bed and sat on the other side of the bed with his back facing Sebastian's back, slightly brushing.

"Is what you're going to tell me what you said you're going to tell me?" Kurt asked softly.

"I suppose" Sebastian threw his head back so his head was resting on Kurt's shoulder; his body leaned on Kurt's back.

"If you don't want to, it's okay..."

"No...I think I need to say it. Need to tell someone who's not family..."

Kurt nodded and waited for Sebastian.

"My father hated me..."

"W-why?"

"Because I'm fucking gay. And apparently I am a bad influence too because Lou came out last year."

"It's not your fault." Kurt turned and tried to face Sebastian but the boy just slid off his shoulder and flopped down on the bed.

Sebastian's head was now resting next to Kurt's thigh, face looking up at him.

"I came out to my parents when I was about 15, and my granddad and my father said I was an embarrassment to the Smythe family. Mom had a huge fight with Dad because she was and I quote 'siding with me, encouraging the mistake'. I called my aunt in Paris and ran to the airport in the morning."

"You...just ran away?"

"Yeah, mom flew all the way over to try to bring me back but I just couldn't stand the look in my father's eyes."

"I'm sorry..."

"It's okay, we finally settled that I would study in Paris and come home on holidays. Mom was all over Dad about how he should accept me and stuff but Granddad is the ultimate homophobe, and he kept nagging my dad that accepting me is weak. I brought scandal and shame to the house."

Sebastian continued "Mom had gotten pregnant and they agreed they couldn't argue every fucking day and Mom wanted me to be at home; so I came back for another six months. After Mom gave birth to Sisi, I went away again, 'because it was just too much. The way my father looks at Sisi with so much love and caring but he looks at me like I'm disgusting shit..."

Kurt cupped Sebastian's face "Shhh...Don't think like that. Don't. It's his fault."

"I know but it still hurts. I thought family was supposed to love each other. I envy you Kurt. Your dad, running for congress, supporting gay rights. His speech is basically all about you, how much he loves you..."

"My dad is a big softie." Kurt smiled sweetly "I don't think that means your father doesn't love you, I think he doesn't understand how to..."

"I don't give a fuck about him anymore."

"What bought you back?"

"Lucas came out after granddad's funeral. He was dying last year, so I came back to see him to put on a fucking show for the press then I sneaked off to Scandals..."

Then we met. They both thought the same thing but didn't say it.

"Anyway, I didn't stay long. Lucas came out like about a month after the funeral, and my dad just went mad, said he caught "the gay" from me. Said I put wrong ideas in his head. Mom finally snapped and that scared my dad. I think it was the first time in his life to hear my Mom curse. Lucas told me Mom was about to get a divorce. Mom took Sisi and Lou to Paris to stay with me."

"But..."

"But my dad wouldn't, because my dad really really really loves my mom. I'll give him credit for that. So he promised he would change. He would learn to accept it. After a chain of drama, again. We all came back to Ohio."

"Does he accept it now?"

Sebastian shrugged "I don't know and I don't really care. He tip toes around me and Lou right now. I'm not sure how Mom shoved it into him but at least he doesn't look at us with disgust anymore, and he doesn't freak out when he hears the word 'gay' or 'boyfriend'."

"Give him time..."

"I know but somehow I just feel like "what's the point?""

"Don't you want to see your dad fully accept you and love you and Lucas just the way you are?"

"You have a supportive father. Of course it's like no problem to you."

"I was freaking out about coming out to my dad. But you know what he said to me? He said it's a responsibility for a parent to love their children. I think your dad loves you too but he doesn't know how. If he grew up in a homophobic family, it could be hard for him. He had this concept drilled into his mind that it's not right, but if he really loves you: He will come around."

"You are too positive about this whole thing." Sebastian sighed

"Not really, it's more like understanding now. Finn, my step brother, used to bully me as well. He would even freak out if I touched him, like being gay is a disease. But he has really changed now. He's another big softie in my house."

"I just feel so tired of waiting to see if he will finally understand it. Sometimes I wonder if I make him really hate me, maybe he would disown me and I might feel some relief."

"Is that why you..."

"Fuck around? Yeah in the beginning I was just trying to get on his nerves, but the fucking is good so why not."

Kurt snorted "You're ridiculous."

"Ridiculously sexy I know." They both laughed lightly.

"I'm glad you're here..."

"Well, you Smythes are very attractive what can I say."

Sebastian whined a little "Lucas is crushing hard on you; I think he's going to ask you out."

"Oh..." Kurt blushed, and Sebastian had a little panic inside of him

"Do you l-like him?"

"Lucas is very sweet...but I'm not sure, I don't think I want relationship right now. Not right after Blaine." Kurt looked at his hands nervously

Sebastian sat up and slide across the bed sitting on Kurt's side "Well, if you do plan to date my brother...please let me know. I don't want to have heart attack seeing you two fuck in the house."

"Sebastian!" Kurt smacked Sebastian's arm really hard and his face turned almost tomato red

Sebastian laughed out loud, hoping it could cover the bitter tone in his joke.

A/N: Thank you all again for the review and big big thanks to Emily for beta.

I hate to tell you this but my next chapter might not be update so soon, I'm working on it but something happen to the family so I might not have time to write much. I will write whenever I can cause I just need some distraction away from reality.
