Chapter 10

"I'm still not entirely convinced that this is a good idea," Kurt admitted nervously as he checked his reflection in the mirror, Blaine perched behind him on the bed.

"Relax," Blaine advised, "just enjoy yourself tonight. If you give Sebastian a chance I'm sure he can surprise you."

"He's already surprised me," Kurt pointed out. "Before today, I could never have imagined him stepping in and preventing me from being beaten up. From the day I arrived at Dalton he seemed to despise me and then he just started hitting on me. Now I'm going to dinner with him. I feel like I'm reading a novel that has crucial chapters missing so I'm clueless as to what's going on or what's been happening in terms of character development."

"You're so adorable," Blaine commented with a smile, "everybody here thinks so. Even Sebastian; he just refuses to admit it."

"Can I ask you a question?" Kurt enquired peering at Blaine shyly and the shorter teen nodded. "Do you think I'm doing the right thing, by going to dinner with Sebastian? Tell me honestly."

"I'm not sure I can really judge whether it's the right thing," Blaine said, "but I certainly don't think it's wrong. Hey," he asked gently seeing the forlorn expression that suddenly settled onto his friends face, "what's wrong? Why do you look so terrified?"

"I just… I don't know how to do this," Kurt told him.

"Do what?" Blaine asked moving off the bed and placing a comforting hand on Kurt's shoulder.

"Dating," Kurt answered quietly, his cheeks beginning to bloom red.

"Kurt, are you blushing?" Blaine asked in amusement.

"I've never been on a date before," Kurt told him fiddling nervously with his tie then taking it off and trading it for a bow-tie. "I don't know what to wear, or what to say or how I'm supposed to act."

"Kurt, Kurt, just relax," Blaine said soothingly helping Kurt fix his bow-tie. "Now just be yourself and have some fun."

"Fun," Kurt repeated as his skin returned to its normal porcelain. "That's part of what I'm so worried about. I know all about Sebastian's reputation. He's taking me out to dinner tonight and when we return he's going to expect… he's going to expect something isn't he? And I've never…" he trailed off and stared down at the floor feeling embarrassed.

"Look, I'm not going to lie to you, Kurt," Blaine replied, "Sebastian is well known for sleeping around. But he's always responsible and safe and every partner he's ever had has been a willing participant. He'd never pressure you to do something if it made you uncomfortable. And another thing, Sebastian doesn't usually take cute boys out to dinner. He normally takes them straight to the bedroom and then that's it, relationship over."

"So?" Kurt prompted not understanding the point Blaine was trying to make.

"So," Blaine answered with a smile, "he's making an extra effort with you. Maybe he genuinely has feelings for you and wants to do things right. And it's going to be just as scary for him as it is for you. Sebastian might be experienced in sex, but when it comes to romance and feelings he's truly vulnerable."

"Thank you for your words of wisdom, Blaine," Kurt said, "but I regret to inform you that I'm still incredibly nervous. Look, my hands are shaking," he announced holding out his trembling fingers.

"Seriously, Kurt, relax," Blaine instructed squeezing Kurt's hands gently. "You'll have fun, I promise."

"Maybe you could join us," Kurt suggested. "If you were there I wouldn't be so terrified."

"But if I was there it wouldn't be a date," Blaine replied. "You and Sebastian could be really great together you know, perfect even. Just give it a chance."

"Ok," Kurt nodded though he still looked nervous and uncertain.

"I'll see you later, Kurt," Blaine grinned before leaving the room, meeting Sebastian in the corridor along the way. "He's waiting for you, Seb. Make sure you treat him right and show him a good time. He's really nervous."

"You're a true gentleman, Blaine," Sebastian commented, "I'm ashamed that Jesse and I have failed to be a bad influence on you."

"Well somebody has to at least attempt to keep the two of you in line." Blaine remarked.

"Ooh, sounds kinky," Sebastian replied trying to wink but it made his eye throb thereby ruining the overall effect.

"Just be nice, Sebastian," Blaine instructed as he walked away and Sebastian came to stand outside Kurt's dorm room door.

"I can totally do this," Sebastian told himself bracingly before rapping his knuckles smartly on the door.

A few seconds later, Kurt pulled the door open and forced on a tentative smile. Casting a quick look over his date, Sebastian could see that Blaine was correct in saying Kurt was nervous. The poor boy was actually trembling a little but he straightened up, put on a smile and covered his nerves remarkably well.

"You look good, Hummel," Sebastian said approvingly, "really good," he added when he got a view of Kurt's ass in his sinfully tight trousers.

They walked through the school in silence then stepped out into the student parking lot. Immediately, Sebastian set off in the direction of his car but Kurt was heading determinedly towards his navigator in the opposite direction.

"I'm driving," Kurt said firmly and decisively so Sebastian had no option but to join Kurt in his vehicle. "So, where do you want to go?"

"Kurt Hummel, I am taking you to my favourite restaurant," Sebastian informed him, "I'm confident that you'll love the food as much as I do. Even if you are originally from a public school," he couldn't help but add.

"Just give me directions you arrogant meerkat," Kurt demanded though his tone sounded almost affectionate rather than hostile.

They arrived at the restaurant and Sebastian was slightly startled when Kurt played the role of gentleman and opened his car door for him before extending his hand to help him out.

"I'm not a girl," Sebastian scoffed.

"Neither am I," Kurt answered, "I just wanted to make that clear. Besides, you look so pitiful covered in bruises that I can't help but be sympathetic."

"I think I hate you," Sebastian replied though there was no real malice in his words.

"So charming," Kurt remarked sardonically, "now are we going to dinner or not?"

"But of course," Sebastian nodded threading their fingers together and all but dragging Kurt up to the door. Sebastian also made a great show of holding the door open so that Kurt could walk through first.

As they were escorted to their table, Kurt moved very swiftly and pulled Sebastian's chair out for him, earning himself an appalled glare as he sank down onto the seat. Kurt then moved to the opposite side and elegantly seated himself.

Quietly and only sneaking looks when they thought the other wasn't watching, the two teens scanned their menus and mused over what to order. Upon making their decisions, Kurt called upon a waiter and Sebastian quickly jumped in to assume the dominant male role and place their orders.

"Your behaviour is really immature and irritating," Kurt commented.

"Yet I'm finding your company so compelling," Sebastian retorted swiftly. "You opened the car door and pulled out my chair and I've placed our food orders. We're sharing the typical male responsibilities of a date, that way neither of us will feel like our masculinity is being questioned even though you still look incredibly effeminate."

"Do you speak like this to all of your dates?" Kurt asked.

"Of course not, you're special," Sebastian answered managing to pull off a half smirk with his aching jaw. "Now tell me honestly, are you falling desperately in love with me yet?"

"Absolutely not," Kurt responded promptly and Sebastian's cut lip formed itself into a pitiful looking pelt. "My, my, you almost look disappointed."

"Well I am," Sebastian told him, "I'll have you know my ego is very fragile."

"That's difficult to believe since you're the most arrogant person I've ever met," Kurt said, "and I'm friends with Rachel Berry."

"Ok, let us not talk about girls or it'll ruin my appetite," Sebastian replied, "and let us agree to put the insults and banter on hold. Let's just have fun tonight, enjoy ourselves."

"We can try I suppose," Kurt said, "though I still remain unconvinced that I can actually enjoy spending time with you."

"Then allow me to prove you wrong," Sebastian requested stretching his hand across the table to hold Kurt's hand, squeezing a little tighter than necessary when Kurt tried to pull away. "You really do have beautiful eyes, you know?"

"Thank you," Kurt mouthed wanting to sever eye-contact with Sebastian but unable to actually do so. Even with the purple bruise ringing one eye, Sebastian's stare still managed to be so captivating.

Their meals came so Sebastian finally released Kurt's hand from his own. They sipped at their drinks and nibbled at their food, making small talk as they did so. By the time their dessert was delivered, the small talk had evolved into hearty discussions interrupted by bouts of shared laughter and their feet were entwined beneath the cover of the table. It was as Sebastian accidentally released a sound of laughter similar to a pig snort that the two teens got lost in one another's eyes for several minutes and silently came to the realisation that they were having fun and enjoying one another's company.

"Come on," Sebastian commanded pushing his seat away from the table and standing up, "let's dance."

"What?" Kurt exclaimed in shock. "But people are watching and we're…"

"Two boys," Sebastian supplied the words Kurt seemed unable to complete. "So what? If they disapprove of our sexuality then that's their problem, not ours. I'm not ashamed to be gay… are you?"

"Of course not," Kurt replied instantly.

"Then show me and everybody else how proud you are to be your fabulous gay self by dancing with me," Sebastian encouraged.

"Fine, but don't step on my feet," Kurt warned. "And I'm leading."

"Like hell you are," Sebastian replied guiding Kurt to the dance floor and leading him in a slow waltz.

They were certainly drawing a lot of attention to themselves and not every eye upon them held a friendly gaze. The fact that Sebastian had Kurt's body pressed as close against his as possible probably didn't help matters. Likewise, Sebastian's hand constantly wandering down to lightly graze Kurt's ass probably appalled some of the more close-minded patrons.

"If we carry on dancing we'll probably get kicked out," Kurt said with a nervous laugh.

"It'll be worth it," Sebastian replied smoothly before lowering Kurt down into a dip then bringing him back up to twirl him around.

Just as Kurt had predicted, they were indeed asked to leave as their behaviour was making people uncomfortable. Enraged, Sebastian began to argue which caused people to stare.

"Sebastian, just leave it," Kurt pleaded, "you've already been in one fight today. Let's just go."

"Fine, we're leaving," Sebastian announced loudly for everyone to hear, "the cock-suckers are exiting the building. Please, continue eating your meals. I recommend the spicy tuna, it's delicious. By the way, the head chef takes it up the ass!"

"Sebastian, you can't say that," Kurt scolded as they left the restaurant and returned to Kurt's car. "And how do you know the head chef's gay anyway?"

"I don't," Sebastian shrugged, "I've never even met him. But it's probably true."

"You're unbelievable," Kurt said shaking his head.

"Is that a good thing?" Sebastian asked.

"I'll let you know," Kurt replied putting some music on.

The drive back to Dalton Academy was spent with music playing from Kurt's car stereo and the two of them happily singing along. Occasionally, they would turn to face one another and share a smile before Kurt turned his eyes back to the road and Sebastian stared out of the passenger window feeling uncharacteristically shy. No words were exchanged between the two teenagers and while there was still a certain degree of nervousness present, they were surprisingly comfortable in each other's company.

Pulling up in the parking lot, Kurt turned the music off and once again exited the car first to walk round the other side and hold the car door open for Sebastian. Together they walked up to the large entrance doors of the school and Sebastian held the door open for Kurt to step through, giving himself the perfect opportunity to admire the new boy's ass.

A conversation about music passed easily between them as they walked up to Kurt's dorm room.

"Thank you for taking me to dinner tonight," Kurt said politely. "I actually had a really nice time."

"That would have been more complimentary if you didn't say it with such a high level of shock in your voice," Sebastian teased and Kurt smiled in response as he cocked his head to the side. "So, do I get to kiss you or would you bitch-slap me against my already bruised face?"

"It would be tempting," Kurt confessed.

"Well, in that case," Sebastian said slowly as his eyes darted down to Kurt's mouth, "I'll save it for next time. Goodnight, Kurt."

He turned to walk away but Kurt's fingers coiled around his wrist and pulled him back. Facing Kurt again, Sebastian quirked an eyebrow and waited for Kurt to say something. Though Kurt opened his mouth, no words came out. Instead, Kurt closed his eyes and slowly leaned in, as if he was expecting Sebastian to run away at any moment. Closing his own eyes, Sebastian parted his lips and moved in to meet Kurt, pausing a breath away from the other boy so that it was left up to Kurt whether he closed the gap or not.

Tentatively, Kurt pressed their mouths together before pulling back. They opened their eyes at the same time and Kurt smiled lightly before saying goodnight and disappearing inside his room.

Alone in the corridor, Sebastian lifted his fingers up to touch his mouth, his lower lip still tingling from the sensation of Kurt's kiss. Grinning like a fool, Sebastian turned around and punched the air in celebration before skipping a few steps and then walking calmly back to his room.
