Don't You Worry/I Choose You

2/2/2022-2/12/2022

Summary: Sebastian is worried about Elliott being in Kurt's life and what that means for him.

AN: I've found that I'm really partial to these short stories. Knowing how I used to write (and still have a few out there like that even in this universe), I never thought I had it in me except for a couple. Now I have over a dozen. For me that's exciting. For you guys, probably a whatever, lol. This isn't going to be a long story and will move quickly and I'm just dropping you in to the middle of it this time. ;)

"There's nothing going on between me and Elliott!" Kurt stated with a nerve ticking below his right eye. "How many times do I have to say it?"

"There has to be something! You two are together all the time, off doing things." Sebastian curled his hands into fists and kept them by his sides.

"He's my band mate, of course we're doing things together!" Kurt paused and pushed a finger into Sebastian's face. "But not like that."

"You're with him more than you're with me!"

"What are you talking about? I'm with you all night long, every night. No way does my time with Elliott rack up to more hours than that in a week." Kurt frowned and shook his head, Sebastian was being far too unreasonable.

"The hours we spend together don't count, they're while we're sleeping."

Kurt's left eyebrow rose high on his forehead, he tried to pull it back down but it was stuck up there on autopilot. "The way we spend the night together should certainly count, because unless you're really good at sleep-a-lot-of-things, you should know that it's not sleeping we do most of the night. I don't remember the last time I got a full 8 hours while you've been in my bed."

"It's still not ok! I only get your nights, he gets your days, evenings and weekends!"

"Sebastian!" Kurt shouted and suddenly stopped and took a step forward so he was chest to chest with Sebastian, glad there was only a few inches between them now. It made it much easier to look him eye to eye. "Are you saying you want to spend more time with me? Is that what this is?"

"No." Sebastian grumbled and took a step back but Kurt was smirking now. Sebastian sneered back at him. "Don't smirk. You didn't win anything."

"Hey, I learned it from the best." Kurt followed Sebastian so they were up close again. "You want to spend more time with me." Kurt sang in the most annoying voice and melody he could.

"Go away."

"Nope, you just said you wanted more time with me." Kurt pushed Sebastian back another step and the back of his knees rammed into the couch and he collapsed onto it. Kurt placed a knee on either side of Sebastian's hips and sat back onto Sebastian's thighs. His fingers working on the tie around Sebastian's throat.

"I don't want this." Sebastian said and Kurt's hands stilled. Sebastian rolled his eyes and made a sound of self-disgust. "Of course I want this." Sebastian put his hands on Kurt's waist to hold him in place when he started to move off of Sebastian. "I mean, this is not what I wanted when... I... said what I did."

"When you inadvertently asked me to spend more time with you?" Kurt was gloating and Sebastian rolled his eyes again, refusing to admit or say what Kurt had correctly identified.

"Whatever." Sebastian slid a hand round the knot on his tie and started tugging, getting it loose and pulling it off for Kurt since Kurt didn't seem in a hurry to do it himself anymore. He glowered when Kurt didn't seem to get the hint. "Come on, I do want this."

"No you don't." Kurt said softly, his eyes taking in Sebastian and what he was and wasn't saying.

Sebastian used his hand still on Kurt's waist to press him closer. "Does that seem like I don't want to do this?"

"Maybe right now, maybe always, but you're not saying that. You were talking about something else." Kurt's hands rested on Sebastian's shoulders and held him steady. "You want to do something other than sex and sleep." Kurt's eyes glimmered as he read through Sebastian so clearly and easily.

"Sex, now." Sebastian gave one last push to argue and continue what Kurt had started once he straddled Sebastian. "Just sex."

"Admit it first." Kurt held Sebastian's face between his hands. "I'm not just a booty call anymore." The fact that Sebastian had learned about Elliott in the first place should have been a giant neon flag telling Kurt that. It had just happened to slip out so easily one day and he and Sebastian had discussed Kurt's band on the verge of sleep. There hadn't been much more mentioned about it over the following months.

"I thought I was your booty call." Sebastian wiggled his hips and Kurt gave a small laugh, leaning forward to kiss Sebastian.

"Not the end of this conversation." Kurt warned Sebastian but he knew both would be in a better place to talk after their tensions were released.

That was true. It was also true that Sebastian was less guarded after sex. But it was also true that Kurt was a lot more mellow and less inclined to argue or push back. So it was decided that they'd meet up during their lunch hours to have a nooner and room service or delivery from then on, even on the weekends.

EAN: So... I've already written a few chapters of this story, and like always, I set out with one goal and I'm still going to get to the end point that I want, but the path that gets it there always surprises me. The stories write themselves, they give me the idea and I think I know what's going to happen and then it takes a turn I wasn't expecting and then it works itself to where it was meant to go. Sometimes I do write something, think about and then think harder and do a rewrite but that's the story for you, it knows what it wants. This story... even the first two chapter surprised me with a few twists it pulled in. :D I'm like that sculptor I mentioned in another story, the block is there in front of me, I don't force it to become what I want, I let it reveal itself as I chip away at it.
