Three months later
Kurt and Sebastian were in Ohio, visiting Burt and Carol.
After the fire months ago, Sebastian got closer to Burt and he kind of sees the man like a second father figure.
When they came back to New York, Sam and Blaine are in their apartment.
Ever since the incident, they all agreed to at least have someone to look after their place when one is out of town.
It's late when they arrive and Sam and Blaine quickly greets them hello and tells them there are a couple of letters for them on the kitchen table.
When the two are alone, the sit down on the couch and just relax before Kurt walks over and collect the mail.
"This one looks like it's handwritten" He says and holds out a letter to Sebastian.
Sebastian snaps up the envelope, but his hand freezes when he sees the writing on it.
"Bas?" Kurt asks and puts his own mail down on the table.
"I think it's from my father" Sebastian whispers.
The thing was, after both Sebastian and Tom had refused to take over the firm from their father, his father had cut out all contact with them. In the beginning their mother had struggled to keep contact with the two boys, but after one month, Tom and Sebastian had gotten a call from their grandma telling them that their mother had suffered a heart attack.
They didn't speak with their father on the day the funeral went by, they didn't shared a word with him, not even when the carried out the coffin.
Kurt nods and sits down, laying a hand on his thigh.
"Tell me what to do?" He says.
Sebastian shuts his eyes, he doesn't know what he needs right now. He had been so happy only minutes ago and now his stupid father have yet again managed to ruin everything.
"Could… Could you maybe open it?" He stammers out and breathed out a sigh of relief when Kurt leans over and takes the envelope from his shaking hands.
"Of course" Kurt says and kisses Sebastian's cheeks.
Kurt opens the envelope, when he is about to fold out the paper, Sebastian's takes his hand and squeezes it.
Kurt give him a soft smile "I'm here".
Dear Sebastian and Kurt
I know that you probably are a bit surprised to hear from me, and honestly so am I.
But I promised this to your mother before she died and I don't intend to disappoint her more than I already have.
When you were 12 years old you told me that you wanted to make me proud, you told me that you wanted to be like me someday.
In the end that is far from how things worked out, your mother would probably say its luck.
I know you and I don't see things the same way, and that there have been a lot of bad moments between us.
We haven't even spoken the last months.
I won't say that I'm sorry for what I've done, because that would be a lie.
We are both Smythe men and Smythe men are stubborn as hell. - At least we have that in common.
But I dearly regret how I acted at your mother's funeral, even though we don't talk anymore, no one deserves to go alone through a day like that.
I am glad that you and Tom have each other.
That you guys had Kurt to support you.
And this is where the one thing I promised your mother is coming in.
I promised her that I would give you guys my support.
And though I won't forgive you for rejecting the firm, I will tell you son that I think you have done good.
You have grown up to be an independent fine young man, who can stand up for himself, and you have that from your mother.
Kurt, I don't know you very well, but I know that Martha have talked with you a couple of times and from what she told me, you are a special kind of person. You care about others and you certainly care about both of my sons. And you have made Sebastian smile, like the sun, just for being present in his life. Martha even told me she would be proud to see you two together in 50 years.
I hope she get that wish fulfilled.
I have taken over the firm completely, since your mother isn't here anymore, the part that was in her name, I agreed that I would give the money to you guys, like an inherited if something ever happened to her.
So in honor of your mother Martha.

A week later.
"I have something I want to ask you about, but I want you to answer honestly" Sebastian said and jumped in the bed beside his boyfriend.
Kurt looked up from the magazine he was currently reading.
"Of course I'll answer honestly"
"You probably won't, because you may think that it's stupid and then just tell me yes because I'm suggesting this. So I need you to answer.. Actually I think I will use my 8 question to this" Sebastian says and roll on his back.
"Your 8 question?" Kurt furrows his brows.
Sebastian turns his head and smiles "Don't tell me you have forgotten our little question game we made up?" And then he makes a pouty face.
"You are such a dork… "
"Yep. But you're not going to get rid of me, if that's what you think" Sebastian says fluttering his eyelashes and begins making kissing noises.
"Bas.. Ohh my god.. Stop." Kurt laughs and squeals when Sebastian rolls him over and connect their hand over Kurt's head, before he lean down kissing him.
"You love me princess" Sebastian states.
"And you love me Bas" Kurt grins up at his boyfriend.
Sebastian scoots down a little and lay his hands over Kurt's chest, resting his chin on his hands.
"So can I ask the question now?"
"Sure you can"
"What do you say to that we move to a bigger place, one with two floors, then we can have the first and Tom can move in on the second one?"
Kurt hands come to a rest where it is caressing Sebastian head.
"You want to move in with your brother?"
"I kind of want to be there for him if he needs our help again, but in the meantime I want to have our own. So I guessed that a place with two floors would be a solution…." Sebastian trails off, when he sees Kurt scrunching his eyes.
"You don't want to move in with my brother?" He then asks.
"I think it's a wonderful idea…. I kind of want the same thing. Especially after he got the latest back fall and have been hospitalized since. But do you think that Tom would actually want that?" Kurt asks.
"I don't know, but I kind of hoped that you could be the one to ask him?"
"ME! Why me?" Kurt says and looks at Sebastian like he is crazy.
Sebastian leans down and pecks his lips quickly
"Because my dear boyfriend, you are his favorite person and you kind of know how to flirt your way in with that stupid male nurse that looks after him"
"You mean Peter?"
"Yes Peter" Sebastian agrees.
"Peter is a nice man, Bas. Just because you're not agreeing in Tom having a contact person is the right decision, doesn't mean that Peter is a bad person. He is only trying to help him"
"I know. I know. But I still don't get why he have to stay in the hospital, I mean he is fine" Sebastian says and drops his forehead down on Kurt's chest.
"I know you don't, but Tom agreed and said he wanted this". Kurt said and collects Sebastian in his arms.
They lay like that for some minutes.
"So, will you ask him?" Sebastian whispers.
Kurt laughs "Yes I'll ask him".
A year after this whole story started
Kurt had gotten a message from Sebastian asking him to pick him up around 10 pm at the train station.
Kurt had frowned at the message and tried calling Sebastian, but only to get hold of Sebastian's voice mail.
And then a message had come in
"Hey princess. I can't talk right now, I know that I kind of just ran out the door this morning, but I'm home soon. I love you , see you at 10."
Kurt looked at the clock, five hours left… He send a message asking, if just couldn't pick Sebastian up somewhere else, but he didn't get a reply. He didn't quite understand why his boyfriend had taken the train, they had a car.
His phone rang and he looked down expecting to see his boyfriend's name flashing, but it wasn't.
"Hello"
"Hi Kurt. It's Sam... I wanted to hear if we should make dinner? Sebastian texted me earlier about you probably sitting alone, because he kind of vanished from you earlier..." Sam trailed off
"Sam.. Hi.. Yeah that would be great, you can just come over..And I totally don't know where Sebastian is, he kind of just left this morning and then he asked me to pick him up later tonight. At the station..."
Sam laughed on the other end of the phone
"Kurt, sweetie. You know that driving a train is a normal thing, you don't always have to be depending on your car"
"I know that.. But I just think it's weird that he just vanished and didn't tell me anything "
"I get that… But Sebastian probably have his reasons"
"Your right.. I just really wanted him to be home today.. I mean it's one year ago today!"
"Today"?
"Yes today.. I mean we didn't decided to be boyfriends or anything, it's just that it's a year ago when we crashed into each other's lives again"
"Maybe he is trying to put out something nice for your guys anniversary for the day you got together?" Sam tried.
"Ohh! That's it. Oh Sam.. You're a genius.."
"Thanks.. Ha-ha.. I'm going to go now, I'll see you in 10 minutes"
"Yeah,, see you soon"
Kurt ended the phone call.
Of course that was what Sebastian might be doing, he hadn't thought of that. Normally when Sebastian had something on his sleeve and wanted to surprise Kurt, he got like this, all quiet and suspicious.
Kurt knew that, because if he ever called Sebastian out on it, it was because the green eyes man couldn't help but blurt out the truth. So it made completely sense that he had to go away for a whole day if he had to put some plans together.
Kurt wondered if he should buy himself a new pair of pants, to take on for whatever thing Sebastian had planned out?
Yea, he should do that, maybe ask for Sam's help, luckily he had time, there were some weeks left before their 1 year anniversary.
Sam leaves around 9:30 pm, and Kurt hugs him goodbye. Then he grabs his coat and make his way towards the train station.
When he gets there he looks up the monitor trying to locate when Sebastian's train will be there.
But he have one problem, he doesn't know where Sebastian will be coming from so he stand looking at the monitor to figure out which trains will arrive around 10 pm, when a voice interrupt his thought's from behind.
"I was wrong"
Kurt turns around and scrunches his eyes at the man standing there.
"About what?"
"You're definitely not a woman. All man from what I can see!"
"What?"
Kurt says and takes a step closer to the man.
"When I saw you here the first time, I remember telling you that you sounded like a woman... But I was so wrong. Because you are definitely all man"
"Ohh my god… "Kurt shrieks and hugs the man.
"Hi, princess"
"You are such a dork, Bas" Kurt answers and gives Sebastian a kiss.
"i missed you princess " Sebastian says and let his forehead rest against his boyfriend.
"I missed you too.. Though I don't even know where you have been" Kurt said then lean in again to peck Sebastian's cheek.
Sebastian smiles and takes Kurt's hand.
"Walk me home?"
"We live together Bas, so I'm pretty sure it would be weird saying no to that" Kurt laughs.
"You're right.. But I just like when you say yes to me" Sebastian grins, when Kurt swats his arm.
They walk hand in hand from the station.
"So you're really not going to tell me, where you have been?"
"No."
"Okay then.." Kurt trails off.
They walked a little longer, when Sebastian suddenly stops.
"Come on."
Kurt looks up "What, where?"
Sebastian directed him into a building on the opposite side of the street.
"You want to go there now? " Kurt asks, but the two already beginning to make their way over the street.
"Yeah.." Sebastian says.
The music is loud when they walk inside the building.
"We haven't been in here like forever" Kurt yells over the music, traveling behind Sebastian
The green eyed man turns around and grins at him.
"Remember when we were here the first time?"
"Of course I do.. I'm pretty sure I fell in love with you a little bit, on that first night." Kurt says.
"I know I did." Is all Sebastian says and tucks them up to the table to write up their names for a song.
"You really want to sing?" Kurt asks.
"Yes. But I kind of want to sing this alone" Sebastian says and smiles when Kurt smiles at him.
They sit down and order a beer, listening to the other at the karaoke bar singing, before it's Sebastian's turn.
"I love you" Sebastian's says and make a turn towards the stage.
Kurt beams and goes up to stand in front of the little scene, he can't help but smile at the memory of the first time Sebastian and him were here. The songs they have sang to each other that day had meant so much.
"This is for you my princess" Sebastian says and winks at Kurt before the music begins.
Kurt had expecting some upbeat song or at least some dirty song to sound through the speaker, but that doesn't happen.
Sebastian eyes lock with his.
"When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart
I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you
It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold
When darkness is upon your door and you feel like you can't take anymore"
Sebastian's walks to the front of the stage and sits down, gesturing to Kurt to come near.
He takes his hand as he sings the chorus.
"Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone"
He kisses Kurt's hand and tucks him a little, to get him on stage.
Then he turns towards him and sing
"When you feel all alone
And a loyal friend is hard to find
You're caught in a one way street
With the monsters in your head
When hopes and dreams are far away and
You feel like you can't face the day"
He takes a step towards his boyfriend and settles his arms around him, and put his head against his forehead. The music is still playing when he drops the microphone, but keeps singing this time directly sings the chorus looking into the stunning blue eyes.
"Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone"
"Cause there has always been heartache and pain
And when it's over you'll breathe again
You'll breathe again"
"When you feel all alone
And the world has turned its back on you
Give me a moment please
To tame your wild wild heart"
The music suddenly stops, the two men still standing on the stage swaying.
"Bas… the music stopped " Kurt whispers.
"Ohh, it did?" Sebastian says and takes a step back.
Kurt laughs, it's so typical Sebastian not to notice such thing, but then the green eyed man takes his hand.
"Kurt, when I ran into you again, a year ago on the station I was fascinated by how you opened up your home for me, and since your heart. I thought back then, that you were perfect, with no flaws and I got to experience this warm feeling I haven't had before. Then I got to know you better and I found out you weren't perfect . - You do have flaws and you do make mistakes, and that only made me realize that I have fallen in love with you. I had fallen in love with each and every one of your flaws, because they are a part of you, and I felt like it was suddenly the most simple thing in the world to be in love with you.
I still fall in love with you every day, but it's more than that. Because I love you, all of you, even more every time I get to wake up beside you and see you smile at me.
Every time I catch you looking at me, I feel my heart speed up. Every time you give me the pleasure of kissing you, feel you, I always have to hold my breath because it's like I don't know how to breathe, but then your lips touches mine and I can finally breathe again.
You have taught me a lot of things about myself, and I want you to teach me even more. You have showed me that wanting something, depending on something, and not wanting to let go can be a beautiful thing.
You have let me open up my heart to you and you gave me permission to let me into yours."
(Get's down on one knee)
"So princess, Kurt, I believe I have one question in our little 10 questions challenge left.
When we agreed to be boyfriends I told you that 'I believe there are so many ways to be happy in a life, but all I really need is you'
And I still believe that, I believe that my life will never be the same again, because of you.
You are not only a part of my life, you are the center of my whole existence.
So if you want to share it with me from now and forever. I would like to ask you.
Will you marry me?"
Kurt is certain that this is one of the times that Sebastian have definitely surprised him the most, he can't seem to look away from those green eyes looking up at him with so much passion, love and trust. And he can't help but kneel down in front of the man, grinning like mad when he crashes his lips against his boyfriend's... Fiancé?
"Yes" He breathes out against Sebastian's lips when they part, and then laughs when Sebastian jumps up and hoisting him in his arms, kissing him again.
Let me be the one you call
If you jump I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart
I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash then crash and burn
You're not alone
