It didn't take long before they were safely ensconced within the private booth once again, only this time, Sebastian was sitting next to Kurt, not across from him. Kurt's mind was still processing the tease of lips and tongue and the searing flare of want that it had sent surging through his blood. As much as part of him wanted to complain that it was much too much too soon, a smaller part of him was practically screaming that it was nowhere near enough.
Sebastian noticed Kurt withdrawing into the conflict of his own mind again and grabbed a gentle hold of Kurt's chin, tipping his head just enough so that Kurt had to look at Sebastian. Kurt's eyes snapped to him in that moment, flashing with annoyance but darkened with desire. It was an enticing look on Kurt actually. Well maybe not the annoyance so much as the desire. But to see those silvery blue eyes darkened to a blue shaded gunmetal was quite nice - considering that it was Sebastian who had caused the shift.
"What?" Kurt asks, his voice soft and distant.
"Stop retreating into yourself so much." Sebastian chides. He knows it's going to break the moment, the beautiful haze that had been created by desire, but he also knows that there's no other way to do this since it's Kurt that he's dealing with.
Kurt blinks up at Sebastian - of course the one person who shouldn't be able to read him would be the one person who could read him like an open book. Kurt sighs heavily. "It's not something I can help."
"How so?"
"When something is bothering me I have to figure it out until it stops bothering me."
"You really need to loosen up, Kurt. I get it, things happened in your life that you couldn't control so you try to control yourself as much as you can - I've been there, fucking done that. I don't know what pushed you into that, but it doesn't matter right now. I can tell you that it's not a great place to be. Life's too short to think about everything that much. Eventually you have to just let go and live." Sebastian explains.
"... So what, you're suggesting I turn into the man whore you were in high school?" Kurt inquires with a scoff.
Sebastian cannot help but roll his eyes at that. "No. I'm not saying that at all and thank you for believing that I left that behind when I left high school behind. But I digress. Life is a series of moments Kurt. Some are great and some really fucking suck. But when you're in a moment you shouldn't just let it slip by because you get so absorbed in how overwhelming it is that you get caught up in the mental trap of it and miss it."
"I missed a moment, didn't I?" Kurt asks softly, sheepish.
"Probably more than one, but yes. It's passed now but maybe if you play your cards right a similar moment may happen so it won't be a total loss." Sebastian says with a light chuckle.
"We're going to be doing an awful lot of talking over dinner on Sunday, aren't we?" Kurt inquires.
"It seems necessary after your display tonight. You'll tell me what happened to turn you into Mr. Over Thinks Everything and I'll give you the more information I promised you and then explain why I chose Undisclosed Desires. Should I make sure there are copious amounts of alcohol to partake in after the talking is done?" Sebastian teases.
"No, I try not to drink. I lose absolutely all filter and I can either be emotional sappy drunk or venomous bitchy drunk. It's not pretty." Kurt chuckles.
"I will try to keep that in mind. But if I only allowed you to have one glass of wine would that be so bad?"
"No, but it's best not to tempt the fates, even if some of what might be spoken may have me wishing for copious amounts of hard liquor.." Kurt says with a small sigh.
"And here I pegged you for a Cosmopolitan sort of guy." Sebastian teases.
Kurt rolled his eyes at that. "Thanks to the guys from glee, I have a taste for real alcohol, thanks. Though I've graduated from whatever Noah could steal to top shelf. I much prefer Jameson's to that rotgut stuff. Or Gentleman Jack... but the Jameson's is better. I suppose that's because it's Irish and they've been doing whiskey a lot longer."
"Never would have figured you for a whiskey drinker."
"Only when I need to get out of my head for a while. It's that or ask Noah to make me brownies."
"But don't you bake?"
"Yes, I do, quite well... I'm surprised you remember that actually. But Noah uses ingredients I don't." Kurt says with a small smirk.
"Oh, special brownies. Really never would have pegged you for that." Sebastian chuckles.
Kurt shrugs. "To be honest, the first time I had them, I had no idea there was a special ingredient. I definitely don't indulge in them very often - especially since Noah's in California now. But I do admit it was kind of nice feeling just mellow and relaxed and almost incapable of being stressed. At least until it wore off - which since we were eating it and not smoking it, it wore off quicker but you get the picture."
"I can think of other ways to create that languid feeling." Sebastian says with a smirk.
"And just how do you propose to do that?" Kurt inquires.
"Either really good marathon sex or a really good, full body massage." Sebastian answers simply, still smirking.
"Well I'm not about to engage in marathon sex with you in the near future... but a massage sounds really good."
No, Sebastian did not miss the fact that Kurt had said only in the near future... that meant there was a possibility that Kurt could be persuaded to engage in marathon sex at some point. However, Sebastian kept control of the lust monster and focused on the conversation at hand - though his tone was still flirty. "Pity. Of course combining the two is even better. I suppose that will just have to wait. I actually have a portable massage table. I took classes for it, not that I intended it to be my life's work or anything. I would only do it for beautiful people and have you seen some of the people that go for massages?" Sebastian asks with a full body shudder.
"Let me guess you did it to be more appealing to your dates." Kurt chuckles.
"Something like that. Michel was a massage therapist and I benefited from his skills on numerous occasions. He started to show me and when we parted ways I picked up some classes while I was getting my gen ed courses out of the way." Sebastian explains. He was glad to see that Kurt was engaged in the conversation and no longer trying to get lost in his own mind.
"So do you want to dance anymore before the club closes?" Kurt inquires.
"I'd love to... I was just waiting for you to come back to the real world."
"Ha ha. Well if we're going to dance you need to get out of the booth." Kurt teases. Sebastian rolled his eyes at Kurt but gracefully slipped from the booth again and held his hand out to Kurt once more. They returned to the dance floor and Kurt practically squealed with glee as they were walking and Adam Lambert's For Your Entertainment came on.
"Should have figured you for a Lambert fan." Sebastian chuckled. He really shouldn't tease Kurt too much considering he himself was something of a fan of Adam Lambert's work. What could he say, a number of the lyrics spoke to him. Between For Your Entertainment and Fever well, who couldn't enjoy a song that was pretty much all innuendo?
Sebastian enjoyed watching Kurt lose himself in the music. Of course as they danced together, Sebastian let his hands tease along Kurt's form, even going so far as to take hold of Kurt's wrists on the line I'ma hold ya down until you're amazed. He just couldn't help himself, he took advantage of sexual lyrics like this. Of course that brought a smirk to Kurt's lips and a glint of challenge in his eyes and the back and forth? Totally hot. If this was the kind of heat they could generate fully clothed on a dance floor, Sebastian was nearly dying to know what heat they could create in private, naked on a bed. It could be his bed or Kurt's bed, he didn't really care...
Mentally he chided himself, and pushed all blatantly sexual thoughts to the background. He couldn't do that right now. Fuck if he wasn't going to be tense as hell when he got home. Still, the electricity arcing between them promised that all this torment and effort would be well worth it. He just had to remind himself of that. It was definitely a bigger challenge than he'd had in a very long time.
Kurt tended to play to the lyrics 'Bet you thought that I was soft and sweet, that an angel swept you off your feet.' And the sensual movements he made against Sebastian's body to those particular lyrics were certainly wicked. It was going to be a long night. If only Sebastian knew that Kurt was thinking much along the same lines... Neither of them were that lucky though, they'd both lost themselves in the music and in dancing and maybe just slightly lost themselves in each other.
The song changed again. It was something older - Silk played a wide variety of music which was part of its appeal. This song was something that Kurt only knew because it was used in Practical Magic and with his girls of course he'd seen it. It wasn't featured, but he loved music and yes, he had the soundtrack somewhere in his collection. The song was Is This Real by Lisa Hall. There was something sexy about the beat of the song and the lyrics were slightly apropos.
Twisted this feeling
walked out of shape
So tired of revealing
the moves that I make
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
Feeling inconstant could drive me insane
Flesh to blood to bone to love
Twisted...
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
Is this real?
Twisted this feeling
Flesh, blood, bone, love
Twisted
Twisted this feeling
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
And I know, yes I know, but is this real?
Flesh to blood to bone my love
Twisted
Twisted
Is this real?
It mostly suited his mood right about now. The beat was slow but it throbbed and both Kurt and Sebastian slowed their movements to reflect the music. It seemed much more intimate somehow. Kurt was pretty sure that you couldn't fit a sheet of paper between them. His back was once more molded to Sebastian's front and they just kind of rocked and undulated with and against each other. It was sexy and there was no denying that.
Kurt's mind flowed with the lyrics... Being here like this with Sebastian was just a little twisted when you thought about how they'd been enemies once upon a time. Yet, there was something magnetic about Sebastian, there was something potent here and confusing as it was, Kurt couldn't entirely ignore it. Was this real? As was evidenced by Kurt's drawing inward, it was true that this unstable feeling was getting to him. It wasn't love but it was something - something nearly tangible but just out of reach enough to beg the question was it real? Kurt didn't know and he didn't know how to find out. He just relaxed into the dance, allowed himself to melt into it - into Sebastian and let the music take over for this moment.
When the music shifted to a slow groove, Sebastian was almost shocked at how seamlessly Kurt flowed into the change. Sebastian wasn't entirely familiar with the song, though it did sound like something he might have heard before. It did have a sexy beat though and the way Kurt suddenly just became pliable and fluid and pressed soooo tight against him? Fuck.
He let his hands settle on Kurt's hips, one hand sometimes moving to tease the little bit of flat stomach that was showing now that Kurt's shirt had moved up a little at the way they moved against each other. Sebastian closed his eyes and allowed himself to let go and enjoy this just like Kurt seemed to be letting go. There was something definitely sexy about the pair as they moved, throbbed, breathed, became the seductive beat of the song. They actually had a little bit of an audience - the dancers around them were still dancing but eyes were definitely on them - not that either of them knew that.
They flowed against each other through the conclusion of that song and through several others until the DJ was announcing last call and the final song of the night... They didn't part until the music stopped and the spell was broken. Both of them were breathing more heavily from the exertion. Emerald and Oceanic eyes were both half lidded and slightly glazed from the intoxication that had nothing to do with alcohol.
Sebastian's hand trailed down Kurt's side, causing the shorter male to look up and before the final song faded into nothingness, Sebastian gave in to the moment and pressed his lips to Kurt's. If Kurt was startled he didn't show it. He gave in as well. Lips slid against lips, tongues slipped along and beckoned then danced together. When they finally broke apart, the last song had faded into the night.
Their eyes locked and a blush spread over Kurt's cheeks... his chest heaved as he tried to catch his breath. Most of his bodyweight was still being supported in part by Sebastian - not that the taller male seemed to notice or be bothered by this fact. Sebastian licked his lips, savoring the taste of Kurt on them since he didn't know if or when that would be happening again. Slowly they began to move apart and it seemed reluctant and it was not that either was about to admit that. As if afraid of breaking the spell and ruining the moment, neither brought up the kiss.
"Shame the night is over." Sebastian says in a neutral tone.
"Yes, a shame." Kurt agrees.
"Did you drive?" Sebastian inquires.
"Took the Metro. You?"
"Same."
"Which way are you headed?"
"Not too far from NYU main actually. You?"
"Slightly opposite direction. I'm between the campuses for Parsons. I'm usually at the main but I've had classes that were at one of the other locations before that was a nightmare. Thank Gaga I have a bike." Kurt chuckles.
"Metro isn't always convenient is it?"
"Not at certain times of the day, no and not when you have a limited amount of time to get halfway across the city."
"Guess I'll see you Sunday then." Sebastian says simply.
"Sunday." Kurt says with a smile as they make their way out of the club and back to their respective apartments.
I still own nothing and more's the pity - right? But alas, I own only my original material - ie, the club.
