Chapter 11 -
A/N: This one's just sort of filler to explain what happened at the end of last chapter, and to explain the next. Only two more chapters after this one! Enjoy!

Kurt steps into his bedroom to see Sebastian curled up on his side, sleeping soundly. Kurt smiles and sits down on the other side of the bed, pulling out the latest issue of Vogue from his bedside table.
Just as Kurt begins to read an article about Ten New Ways To Revitalize Your Skin, Sebastian shifts and rolls over to face the brunette.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Sorry I fell asleep."
"It's okay." The two smile at each other for a moment; drinking the other in.
"Why was Blaine here?" Sebastian asks, face guarded.
"He's been bothering me to talk to him, so I finally caved. He wanted us to get back together," Sebastian's face fell at Kurt's words, "but I told him that I'm not taking him back; I've moved on."
Sebastian pulls Kurt down so that they are laying side-by-side facing each other. "Moved on? Oh my, should I be worried?" Sebastian says with a glint in his eye, all fear gone.
"Oh yes," Kurt teases back, "you're nothing compared to the other boy I like."
The two smile at each other again until Sebastian's face shifts into one of sorrow. Kurt reaches out and pulls the teary eyed boy towards him. The blonde rests his head on Kurt's chest as the brunette cards his fingers through the boy's hair.
Slowly, the two drift off into sleep.

Kurt wakes first. He rolls over to see Sebastian sleeping soundly on his stomach. Kurt reaches out to brush sandy bangs back from his face before sliding out of bed. On his way out the door, Kurt checks the time, 5:07pm, his dad would be home by now.
Just as he is exiting the bedroom, Sebastian's phone beeps. The blue eyed boy makes his way over to the phone lying on the bedside table.
To: Sebby (5:08pm)
Seb, where r u? Mom & I are worried!
Kurt looks at the still sleeping boy before replying for him.
To: Maddie (5:08pm)
It's Kurt. Sebastian is here; he's sleeping. I'll send him home when he wakes up.
To: Sebby (5:09pm)
Kurt! No, he can stay with you for as long as he needs. I just didn't know where he was and I was worried. Tell him to come home whenever he's ready.
To: Maddie (5:10pm)
I'll pass it along when he wakes up. And Maddie, if you need anything, don't hesitate to ask.
To: Sebby (5:10pm)
Thank you.
Kurt wanders out of the bedroom and down the stairs, finding his father settled in front of a baseball game. "Hey dad, how was work?"
Burt put the TV on mute, "Fine." He stares at Kurt.
"What?"
"Why is there a boy in your bed? Did I not tell you last time with Blaine that you have to Okay it with me firs–"
"Oh my god, dad, so not what you're thinking! They, uhh, they took Sebastian's father off of life support and he's just not having a good day, so he came here. I'm helping him out because I get what he's going through." Kurt watches his father's eyes soften. "So, what do you want for dinner?"

Kurt spends the next half hour preparing dinner for his father. Kurt tells his dad that "food's ready" before wandering back up the stairs to check on Sebastian.
When Kurt pushes open the door he sees Sebastian sitting up in bed, reading. Kurt enjoys the look of Sebastian sleep-rumpled and in his bed. Sebastian looks up from the book and smiles slightly, he holds up the book he's reading, "Is this yours?" he asks. Kurt wanders closer to read the title, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour.
"No, Mercedes', she thought I'd like it. I haven't read it yet' any good?"
Sebastian puts the book down on his lap, but keeps his finger in place to mark his page. "Surprisingly, yes. For a girl book."
Kurt rolls his eyes, "Dinner's ready."
Sebastian gets up, marking his place in the novel with one of Kurt's discarded ties. He reaches for Kurt's hand and they link fingers.

The boys eat in relative silence.
"I should probably go." Sebastian says quietly.
"Alright." Kurt gets up and places their dishes in the sink.
They walk to Sebastian's car in silence.
"I'll text you when I know when the funeral is. If you'll still come?" Sebastian says this last sentence quickly, sounding panicked, as though he thinks that Kurt will say no.
Kurt squeezes the other boy's arm, "Of course."
The two hug and Sebastian gets into his car, rolling down the window.
"Call me, or text me, if you need anything. Anytime. I'll pick up." Kurt leans down to rest his elbows on the window frame, "I promise."
Sebastian leans forward, teary eyed again, and places a gentle kiss to Kurt's lips, "Thank you."
Kurt watches the sandy haired boy pull away, and continues to watch long after the car has disappeared.

A/N: This last scene was choppy for a reason. Also, if you have not read Amy & Roger's Epic Detour I suggest you do so, it's amazing. Two more chapters guys! I've already started writing a sequel which should be up soon after the last chapter of this one.
