This chapter starts with a summary of the following year and a half. And then continues around Kurt's 11th birthday. (Also from the next chapter (11) this story will up in rating, turning towards the more explicit part.)
When Sebastian turns 24, he cooks a birthday dinner for Kurt, Burt and Travis. Kurt even ask if Sam can come to which Sebastian says yes.
When Kurt turns 10 he celebrates it with a trip to the zoo, with Daisy, Annabel, Casper, Sam, Travis and Sebastian.
His dad is a little concerned if the two young men can look after a bunch of 10 year old, but it turns out great.
Sebastian and Kurt continues to see each other three times on the weekdays and one time every Sunday - it's become a tradition that Sebastian comes over to the Hummel's house and they eat dinner together. On these Sunday nights, before he goes home he stays and sings a goodnight song for Kurt.
Kurt is becoming quite a good looking boy and Sebastian can't help but notice. He often let his eyes drifts to places he shouldn't, but he can't help it. Since that one kiss one year ago, the two of them have only kissed each other on the cheek. Kurt haven't brought up the kiss and Sebastian haven't asked about it, so he waits.
He can't really just blurt out if Kurt remembers the kiss or what went through his brain that time, when it's such a long time ago, because if Kurt doesn't remember.. If Kurt doesn't remember Sebastian is not sure if could bear that thourght.
After summer Kurt goes back to school, over the summer he have gotten even closer with Casper and the red haired kid is almost always hanging out with him and Sam now.
Sebastian tries not to let it bother him, but he can feel that it does. Travis likes to make fun about it telling him how sweet it is that he still after that long is jealous of a boy.
It's around September when Kurt tells his dad and Sebastian that he wants to talk to them. He tells them that he likes boys.
The way he says it, makes him look extremely mature and relaxed and when Burt asks if he is sure, Kurt glances quickly over at Sebastian and smiles, then back at his dad and nods.
That night Sebastian can't sleep, he is so happy. Of course he always hoped that Kurt would turn out to like men, but now that he actually confirmed that he does. It's so amazingly wonderful, and Sebastian's spends the rest night dreaming about his future life with his stunning soulmate.
Times go by and Sebastian turns 25. Kurt plays a song for him on his birthday, the same song that Sebastian sings for him when he comforts him, "Hold on".
When Christmas comes around he is invited over to the Hummel's and he gladly take that offer.
Then February comes and Kurt's 11th birthday is right around the corner.
When Sebastian walks into the Hummel's house that afternoon he is met with screaming and yelling from Kurt and a desperate Burt who tries to soothe his son. He stops in the doorway through the living room trying to catch what the fight is all about
"That's not fair, dad."
"Kurt, I'm being nothing but fair."
"But why can't I? You always say yes when it's at Sam or Casper house.. "
"This is completely different.."
"How..how is that different" Kurt is standing glaring at his dad, his hands are placed on his hips.
"You know why.."
"No I don't. He is my soulmate.."
Oh! So this is about him, Sebastian thinks and he sees Burt looking at him and the man breathes out a loud breath.
"Kurt…"
"No. I don't get it. It's not fair that I can't sleep over at Sebastian's… "
"I just think it's for the best if you guys wait a while with having sleepovers.."
"Sebastian already slept here, so it's not like we haven't slept together before.."
Burt sighs and run a hand down his face, shaking his head.
"That's not the same.. When you guys have been here, there always been another adult to...Travis or me.."
"Sebastian is a adult.."
"That's the point Kurt, Sebastian is an adult and you're just…"
Kurt eyes go wide. "And I'm just a kid.."
"Kurt.."
But Kurt turns around and runs upstairs, the sound of his door slamming shut.
Sebastian's stands perfectly still, he doesn't know what to say.
"Hey Sebastian, sorry you had to witness that." Burt says and sits down at the couch.
Sebastian takes a step closer towards the man.
"What was all that about really?" He is sure that he got the gist of it, but he is not quite sure.
Burt looks up at him and sighs.
"Kurt asked if he could stay at your place for the weekend and when I said no… well let's just say that he didn't took that very well."
"Oh!" Is what Sebastian says, because what would he say? The idea sounds very good in his ears. He looks back at Burt, well maybe he can kind of see why the man would be against it.
Burt gets up from the couch "I think you and me needs to talk."
Sebastian's nods, not knowing what exactly Burt means, but if it can help with him changing his mind, he is all for it.
They heads into the kitchen and Burt offers him a beer and they sit down. "I'm going away this weekend and Kurt asked if he could stay at your place then. I told him I didn't thought it was a great idea."Burt starts.
"Why are you against that idea?"
Burt lifts one eyebrow at Sebastian.
"I'm gonna be blunt here Sebastian, because I like you and you mean a lot to me."
Sebastian's nods and Burt continues.
"When I met Kurt's mom, one of the first things I wanted was to hold her close. And I'm not talking about hugs, if you get what I mean."
"I think I know what you are referring too." Sebastian's says and shifts in his chair.
"And I'm not stupid. You can't tell me that you haven't had those urges towards my son.."
Sebastian swallows, okay so this is that kind of talk. Why does this feels like he is a teenager again, talking sex for the first time with his parents.
He tries to straighten up a little and takes a sip of his beer, looking directly at Burt.
"I would lie if I told you that I haven't had those thought about him…. But he is a kid, Burt."
"Exactly. That is exactly why I don't think it's a good idea. Because he is only a kid."
Burt emphasis the word kid.
"I'm not sure I'm following.." Sebastian says.
"Because he is a kid, means that he is very dubious when it comes to certain things. And I don't want him to feel pressured about anything."
"You think I would pressure Kurt to anything he didn't want?" Sebastian raises his voice, because that is kind of insulting if Burt really thinks that. He wouldn't do anything that Kurt wouldn't have.
"No. I know you wouldn't."
"Good." Sebastian's says and relaxes a little, but the next thing Burt says makes him almost choke on his beer.
"But I'm not sure Kurt would actually say no if you tried. He is a boy after all. A 11 year old boy and if I like it or not he is around that age where sex is becoming an interesting topic. Every time he opens the TV there is sex, every time he hears a song on the radio there are indications of sex… " Burt says and drowns the last of his beer.
"I get that. But you have to trust me.. You have to trust him that he wouldn't do anything he didn't want." Sebastian says and cringes when he captures what those words could have meant.
It wasn't like he meant it that way. Though if he should be completely honest the thought of sex had captured his mind more and more often, but clearly he wouldn't react on it..
"Sebastian...Sebastian.." Burt's voice bringing him back from his thinking.
"Sorry…" Sebastian's says and he feels his cheeks redden a little. He have to get it together. He is 25 and he sitting in his soulmates kitchen having a talk about not having sex with Kurt.
"Can I ask you something else?" Burt says and Sebastian's nods.
"Do you get your urges for filled other ways?"
It takes a couple of seconds before Sebastian catches up on what exactly Burt is asking.
"No.. No.. What do you.. why would you… why do you ask me about that?"
"Because if you don't get them for filled somewhere else, how should I trust you to not try and fulfill them with my son?"
Sebastian looks down at his hands, he kind of gets why Burt would ask that, but the thing is even if he wanted. He couldn't really… "Because Kurt is a kid." He says.
"Yes, that's my point. He is a kid and he have to understand that in this case he doesn't really have a say." Burt says and he looks defeated. Which make Sebastian wonder exactly how long the two of them had been fighting because of this.
"What if Travis would be there too?" Sebastian asks, because he can't say he is against the idea of Kurt sleeping at his place. But Burt has a point about the things he says.
Burt sighs and let his body slump back in the chair.
"That could maybe work."
Neither of them say anything but just sits and looks at each other, Sebastian is feeling like Burt is maybe trying to figure something out. But he is not sure what it is, so instead he gets up and says.
"I'm gonna go up and check if Kurt is okay".
Burt nods. "You should do that. And.. And then tell him that he can sleep over at your place, if Travis will be there too."
Sebastian's nods, gives the man a smile and heads upstairs.
Kurt is sitting on his bed when Sebastian knocks and opens the door.
"Can I come in?"
"Yes." Kurt says and scoots over a little, so Sebastian can sit down beside him on the bed.
"So, I talked with you dad…."
"He is just so unreasonable, he thinks that because I'm just a child that I shouldn't sleep at your place, but that's not fair. It's never been a problem when I slept over at Casper's or Sam's, but now it is because it's you." Kurt rambles and he let his head rest against Sebastian's shoulder.
Sebastian immediately hold the boy closer.
"Kurt.. I think I get why your dad doesn't like the idea of you sleeping over at my place.."
Kurt looks like he is about to say or ask something, but Sebastian's puts two fingers over his lips and continues.
"But as I said I talked with him and if we can get Travis to stay for the weekend too, then you can sleep over."
Kurt blinks at him one time. Then two and then he breaks into a huge grin and throws his hands around Sebastian's face and then he kisses him.
It's short , but just as warm and oh so sweet as Sebastian remembers it.
Kurt moves back and blushes.
"Sorry, i just got a little excited."
Sebastian reaches for his hand and squeezes it.
"Hey, don't ever say sorry for that, okay. "
Kurt blushes even more, but nods.
"So, why wouldn't my dad have me to sleep at your place, if we were alone?" Kurt asks and looks at Sebastian with something there can only be described as intriguing and curious.
"It doesn't matter. What matters is that you can and we will have a whole weekend together" Sebastian says and scoots down on the bed and Kurt snuggles up to him.
"And i'm really looking forward to that by the way." Sebastian's whispers and leaves a kiss in the boy's hair.
He can feel Kurt smile, because his face scrunches up a little where it is lying on his chest.
"You know what. " Kurt starts, but Sebastian can hear in his voice that he wants to say something more, so he just hums.
"I'm really happy that you're my soulmate."
Sebastian can feel his heart speed up, so he tightens his arms around Kurt. "Me too Kurt… I'm happy that I'm being apart of your life…. And i think we make a great team"
"Me too.. It's like we share this..." Kurt takes one of Sebastian's hands and holds it close, before he closes his eyes. "... This explicit devotion." He ends with a small yawn.
