Take off where last chapter ended.
They kept dancing to a couple of songs, when Kurt had leaned his head against Sebastian's shoulder and just held on tighter and Sebastian had embraced the blue eyed boy.
When the music slowed down even more and they just stood swaying in eachothers arms, Sebastian had almost forgot about where they were and why he was actually dancing with his best friend.
And then it happened.
Kurt had looked up at him and he had looked so so beautiful and Sebastian couldn't help it, he really couldn't.
"You're beautiful" He blurted out and then leaned down to kiss him.
Kiss best friend.
Kiss Kurt.
But that was not the right thing to do at all, because Kurt had tensed, laid a hand on his chest and shook his head, before taking a step back and walked away.
It had taken Sebastian half a minute before he had caught up on that Kurt had actually abandoned him and then another 20 seconds to remember how to walk.
He found Kurt by the frontdoor, in the middle of putting on his coat.
"What are you doing?" He asked, the blue eyed boy.
Kurt looked up at him, struggling with getting one of the sleeves on right, so Sebastian went over to help him.
"Thank you.." Kurt said, but he avoided looking at Sebastian and made a move to the door instead.
As his hand landed on the door handle, he felt another hand covering his and he couldn't help the small gasp there came out of him.
"Kurt?" Sebastian asked
Kurt blinked his eyes, and looked over at the green eyed boy, then down at their hands.
"Oh! I…. " Kurt closed his eyes and took his hand back, turning away from Sebastian. He wasn't ready for this.
"Kurt… What's wrong?" Sebastian asked and tried to make Kurt to look at him, but the boy kept looking down at his shoes.
Kurt shook his head "Nothing is wrong Sebastian.. I just…"
Sebastian frowned. What was up with Kurt tonight, he acted so strange and Sebastian didn't like that he couldn't point his finger to what it was. Usually he could always tell what was bothering his best friend and quite honestly he didn't liked seeing Kurt that way, he wanted to see him smile.
Finally Kurt looked up at him, but it was barely a glance before he shook his head again and this time succeeding in opening the door.
"Please, talk to me." Sebastian pleaded and took a step around Kurt, so he could stand in front of the boy, placing his hands on his shoulders, pleased when Kurt didn't tried shimmering away this time.
"Kurt." He tried again and this time Kurt's blue eyes snapped up to meet his.
Sebastian almost took a step back, because of intensity in them, but then he saw the tears gathering and how scared Kurt looked.
Then Kurtos eyes traveled down to look at the ground again before he whispered.
"I'm gay."
"What ?" Sebastian asked out and blinked once, because what?
Kurt took a deep breath and looked up, meeting green eyes looking at him.
"I'm gay, Sebastian".
Then he took a step back and walked away.
And Sebastian just stood there, frozen, staring after him.
Kurt's POV
Shit. Fuck. Merde!
This was so so bad.
I kicked a stone there was in my way and crossed my arms closer around my body.
I just wanted to go home, to get away from all this.
A high pitched laugh escaped me, because i had actually just admitted to Sebastian that i was gay.
Way to go with timing.
This was so stupid.
I looked up to see i was almost home, which meant i had been walking for almost an hour.
I had shot off my phone, because i didn't need some stupid message from Sebastian.
FUCK!
Sebastian.
He must be so freaked out right now.
Because he had just found out that his best friend was gay and if the way he had just stood there was anything to go by… Then maybe we weren't even friends anymore.
I brushed a tear away and stepped into the house and ran upstairs, before my father could even say hello.
20 minutes after, i had packed a bag, i just needed to talk with someone.
Maybe .. No, i couldn't talk with the person i usually did.
So i decided to go over to Mercedes instead, i just had to avoid explaining things to my dad.
"Dad" I said as i had gathered my bag and went down stairs.
"In the kitchen.." Burt replied.
"Dad, i'm going over to Mercedes and i'm back tomorrow."
"What?.. Where is Sebastian?" Burt asked and turned to see his son, standing with a backpack slung over his shoulder.
"He… He is still at the party.." I answered and ran a hand through my hair.
Burt raised an eyebrow because of that gesture and then both when Kurt didn't even cursed because he had accidently messed up his hair. Something must be wrong.
"Everything alright son?"
A lump formed in my throat "Yes dad. Everything is alright."
"Okay… Shouldn't you sleep at Sebastian's tonight?" Burt asked at took a step closer towards his son. Wait! has he been crying? What the hell happened at that party?
"We thought of had a fight.." I said, I knew my dad could tell when something was wrong between Sebastian and me, but that didn't meant that i had to tell him exactly what had been happening.
"Are you guys okay?" Burt asked instead and laid a hand on his my shoulder.
I'm almost blurted the whole thing out, but managed to give him a smile instead.
"We will be dad.." I said instead and then hugged him.
"Okay… But you know you can talk to me right." Burt said and stepped back from me, looking me in the eyes.
"I know dad.."
"You guys will be alright.." Burt said and smiled. "Say hi, to Mercedes from me."
"I will dad." I said and went to the door.
Sebastian's POV
It took me 30 minutes before i was able to move again.
I almost jumped when i felt a hand on my shoulder and then again when i saw who the other person was.
"Hunter!"
"Sebastian." Was all he answered back.
"What do you want?" I said and just then felt how wet i actually was, and ohh.. It had apparently began raining.
"Some of the girls, saw you and Kurt going out here almost half an hour ago and then they heard some yelling and then you guys got complete silent. So i said i would go out and check if you guys were alright."
And that i didn't get, why would Hunter, of all people check in on Kurt and me?
I mean i didn't like the guy, like it all. I kind of despised him.. Though i didn't actually knew why. Maybe because every time Kurt and him seemed to talk - which was often - Kurt would always be a bit off afterwards and he would never tell me why.. Which had been the same case tonight.
"Sebastian.. Hello.." Hunter's voice and hand got me out of my rambling thoughts and i looked at the boy.
To my surprise he looked kind of concerned.
"What did Kurt and you talk about tonight?" I questioned instead.
The slightly older boy took a step back and looked down on the ground.
"I don't want to get in the middle of anything. So i think you should talk with Kurt about that."
And what did he mean about that, Kurt never wanted to tell me what he and Hunter talked about. It was almost like the two of them had their own little secret, something that Kurt hadn't wanted anyone to know, but…!
WAIT!
"You know." I said and snapped my eyes up to see him looking at me.
When he hadn't confirmed anything or said anything else, i took a step closer towards him.
"You don't hate Kurt, do you.?" I asked.
Hunter's eyes scrunched a little and now he looked utterly confused.
"No, why would i hate him?"
"I just.. Every.. every time you two talks he always ends up being all weird and don't want to tell me what you guys talks about.." I said.
"Like i said i don't want to get in the middle of something. But trust me i don't hate Kurt and for what i know he doesn't hate me either." Hunter said and stepped over to open the door, letting us both inside the dry house.
"Thank you."
"Sebastian, listen. I don't really know what is going on between you and Kurt, but he looked really happy tonight and to be honest you did too. And then suddenly you guys ran outside and now Kurt is gone. So just tell me is he alright?"
"I… We had a fight." I explained, but didn't know what to say other than that.
Hunter looked at be, tilting his head a little.
"Come on.." He said and took my arm, leading me upstairs.
It wasn't before we was standing in a room, that i saw he had lead me into someone's bedroom, as i looked around, he started talking.
"I think i have some spare clothes you can borrow and then i can drive you home." Then he opened a closet and handed me a sweatshirt and some jeans.
I looked down on the clothes in my hands.
"Why do you have clothes here?"
Hunters laugh, made me look at the boy again.
"Shit, you are sure clueless sometimes Sebastian. This is my house, ergo my bedroom." He said and gestured around the room.
And ohh, that made sense.
"Why are you helping me?" I asked and began taking of my wet clothes.
"Kurt would bitch at me if i didn't." He said and shrugged his shoulders. "You can come downstairs when you have changed then i'll drive you home so you can get some sleep and then talk with Kurt tomorrow.." He said and closed the door.
I changed out of the wet clothes and into the dry ones.
I was so so confused.
Did Hunter know about Kurt being gay?
Had that been what the two of them had been secretly talking about every time the past year, when they were taking?
Was that why Kurt always seemed off when he had been talking with Hunter?
Why hadn't Kurt been talking with me? I mean we always shared things like that with each other. I always shares my crush on girls with him and he always tries to support me when i tell him i have this new crush on someone.
But now, it's like… I'm losing my best friend and i have no idea what to do about it.
I think back to the way Kurt had been looking at me, so vulnerable and somehow so trusting, when he had told me.
Why hadn't i just hugged him?
Why had i just stood there?
It wasn't because him being gay, changed anything.
Did it?
I mean, i don't even care if he is gay or pan or anything like that.
To me he is Kurt.
My best friend.
The one who once promised me to always be there if i fall.
And now i may have let him down, not being there to catch him when he is the one falling.
Shit.. I dry my eyes and take a step out of Hunter's room.
I need to make it up to him.
I need my best friend back
I need Kurt.
Present time.
When Sebastian's alarm goes off, the next morning, he only have been sleeping for 5 hours.
It's 8 in the morning, but he jumps out of bed, because he have somewhere to be.
He quickly showers and then he is out of the door.
He can sees Burt's truck in the driveway, which he hopes means that Kurt will be home, because he knows that he usually doesn't go anywhere this early, only if his dad is driving him.
So he opens the front door and steps inside, immediately smiling when he smells the familiar Hummel smell, a mix of coffee and oil.
"Don't bother going up there Sebastian, he isn't there". Burt's voice booms from the kitchen.
Which get Sebastian to stop, four steps from the top, before he turns around and run downstairs to where Burt is sitting.
"What do you mean, he isn't there?" Sebastian asks and sits down, accepting the mug Burt hands him.
"When he came home, he ran upstairs and then just as fast came down, informing me that he would have a sleepover at Mercedes…" Burt said, then takes the coffee offering Sebastian some.
"Coffee sounds great…" Sebastian says."Did he say anything else?"
Burt blows on the coffee "He told me you guys had a fight."
Sebastian frowns and sits down head in his hands
"We didn't fight per say….I was just… I just acted stupid."
"How so?" Burt's voice is kind and Sebastian is reminded of why he always liked the guy.
"No offence Burt, but I don't think it's my part to tell."
"Sebastian, son."
"It's just..Kurt told me something and I acted really really dumb about it.. And I just… " Sebastian shakes his head and then he fells Burt's strong hand on his shoulder.
"Kurt just need time Sebastian, you know that". And squeezing Sebastian's shoulder.
He really hate seeing when his two boys are fighting. And all though he knows Sebastian isn't really his son, he always felt a responsibility towards the boy.
"Thanks Burt, but I'm not sure that this can be solved that easy… not this time.." Sebastian says and he sounds se defeated.
"You scaring me a little bit here Sebastian" Burt says and sits back, looking at the green eyed boy. He looks so small and kid like right now, nothing like the 16 year old he really is.
"I'm sorry Burt… it's just.." Sebastian looks up, seeing the man he have known since he was a little kid looking at him, concerns showing in his eyes - eyes who reminds Sebastian of nothing else than Kurt.
"I think I'm in love with Kurt." - And wauw where did that come from?
"I know Sebastian". Burt says, so calmly that Sebastian almost laugh, because he just told him that he is inlove with his son.
"What?." He asks instead, because he don't know what to say other than that right now.
Burt laugh a little.
"Sebastian. I'm not some senile old man, who just spends time in the garage and drinks coffee or watch football when i'm home."
When Sebastian lifts and eyebrow, Burt slaps him kindly on the shoulder.
"Shut it kid." Burt laugh and continues. "I pay attention to certain things too."
"Like what?" Sebastian asks and sits up, giving his full attention to Burt.
"To how you guys talk and acts around each other, how you guys can't go a day without seeing each other and of the days you don't manage to see each other, i know how you each sulk away in your bed and only counts down the hours until you can. I pay attention to the way you hug each other, just a tiny bit harder thn friends usually do and how you guys hold hands when you watch a movie."
"Wauv.. What else." Sebastian can't help but ask, because he likes hearing those things, he likes hearing about what him and Kurt does.
"How the first things you guys do each morning is call each other and the last things you do each night is also call to each other. How you always defend the other, even when the other isn't around or when you don't agree with the things the other one says. How you always keeps an eye out for the other one, when you are in the same room. And how you smile when your eyes finally find each other." Burt finishes.
Sebastian is blushing furiously right now.
"Is it really that obvious…" And when Burt just nods his head and takes another sip of his coffee, Sebastian smacks his head down on the table.
"GOD. I'm such an idiot."
"Won't argue with you about that kid." Burt says, but offers Sebatian a smile, when he peeks up from the table.
Then suddenly Sebastian sits up "WAIT.. You said We.. Like.. Like we do all those things. Like its not only me.. But Kurt too."
Burt gives him a small smile and then smirks at him, only followed by a loud laugh when Sebastian's eyes goes wide and he jumps up, the chair smacking against the floor, when it lands.
"I… Shit… I need. Where did you say he was right now?" Sebastian asks, spinning around himself.
"His at Merzedes, but why don't you just go up to his room, then when he is back he can talk to you." Burt suggests and Sebastian nods and scrambles up the stairs, faster than ever.
When Sebastian closes the door to Kurt's room, he is breathing so hard, that he can almost feel his heart in his throat.
Because holy fuck, he just told Burt that he is in love with Kurt!
Kurt' POV
I had really hoped talking to Merzees about this would help me sort things out, but as i had sat there telling her that i needed to tell her something, i just couldn't. I didn't know how.
I never really told anyone.
Well except for Hunter, but that was not planned.
He had walked in on me one day, after gym and had caught me standing in front of the mirror repeating out loud "I'm gay. I'm gay".
That was last year and to my surprise the slightly older boy didn't say anything, but just told me that if i needed someone to talk to he would be happy to be there.
A week after that there had been this party where Sebastian kissed some redhead girl and Hunter must have seen it too, because he found me in the bathroom where he comforted me and told me that everything would be fine.
And now Sebastian knew.
Telling him just sort of happened, i hadn't meant to just blurt it out like that, but i had felt cornered. We had danced and he had been so sweet and i had wanted nothing more than to kiss him, but i just. I couldn't, not like that, not when he had only wanted to kiss me because of the "act" we agreed on.
And then i had told him and he had just stood there, completely silent and i didn't know what to do, so i just walked away.
Why did everything had to be so complicated?
"Dad..i'm home." I says and sticks my head inside the living room.
"Kurt.." He says and gets up, taking his coat, which was on one of the chairs. Why was it hanging there, that was kind of weird?
"I have to go look into a car, we just got into the shop.. " He says, beginning to put on the coat
"Ehm okay?... Do you need help?"
"NO… I mean no, i can do it alone.." He says and then hugs me.
"I really love you kid, you know that right."
The gesture takek me a little by surprise, but i hug him back.
"I know dad. I love you too."
He stands back, then gives me a short smile and thenhe is out of the door.
I just shooks my head, because he could act so strange sometimes, then i desice to just go up to my room.
Sebastian's POV
I could hear Kurt's voice when he came home, and i feel like my whole body stiffened, but in the same time my heart began to speed up and i immediately began looking for somewhere to hide.
The closet? No Kurt would kill me, if a wrinkled anything in there.
Under the bed? I kneeled down and then saw his laptop laying there and i couldn't help my mind spinning back to sometime back, when i had caught him half naked in bed sitting looking at porn.. And no no, not going there now.
Then i hear the door closing downstairs and then steps on the stairway. And fuck shit, i can't hide now. So i just stands up, standing in the middle of the room.
Kurt's POV
"Sebastian?" Is the first things my brain registers when i opned my bedroom door.
Because there he was, standing in the middle of my room, red rimmed eyes, had he been crying? And his hair is a huge mess. And why does he looked so nervous?
"What are you doing here?" I asks and closes the door, behind me, my back resting against it.
"I… I'm such an idiot." He starts and he looks so defeated, he opens his mouth to say something more, but nothing comes out, so i decide to humor him a little.
"Well i won't argue you on that one." I says and crosses my arms over my chest.
He looks up and gives me a half smile.
"I should have gone after you."
"You should." I confirms, still waiting for him to get to the point.
"But i was just totally caught off guard." He says and finally looks up at me.
I scrunches my eyes a little "Because of what i said?"
I hated to ask, but i needed to know. If he couldn't deal with me being gay, then i.. i..
"No. Not because of what you said. Or well yes, but not in the way you think. Because i don't care if you're gay or what you are. I only care about you being Kurt."
And that didn't made sense at all. "You're not making sense, Sebastian?"
Sebastian closes eyes briefly then takes one step closer towards me and slowly opens his eyes again.
"I don't think doing this act and pretend we're together, is a good idea anymore."
I close my eyes and looks down, because that hurt more than i thourght it would. Does that mean Sebastian despise me now?
"Okay." I whisper, not looking up at him, afraid i might began to cry if I do.
I hear him take another step and i can see his feet getting closer.
"I don't want to pretend."
Then another step and i can almost feel the warmth from his body now.
"I Can't pretend."
Then he takes a final step and i barely have time to registre what is happening, because suddenly his right hand is around my waist and his other hand is on my jar, lifting my chin up.
"Kurt". I hear him whisper and then all i can think is wauw, because i'm kissing Sebastian.
I don't know what i have pictured, but in my head it was definitely not him being the one kissing me, and it was definitely not this hot.
I can feel his body press against mine and there is a small whimper, who it's from i'm not sure. Then his hand slide from my face, down to my neck my shoulder and my arm where he finds my hand squeezes it and then leads my hand to hold onto his back.
And oh!
Then both his hands are on my waist and he nipples softly at my lips and this time i'm positively sure it's me who whimpers and my other hand finds its way up to tuck on his hair and tilts his face, to deepen the kiss.
Then we part, but we don't let go of eachother, we just stands there breathing in each other.
"I should have figured it out sooner." He whispers and kisses me shortly, letting his forehead rest against mine and opens his eye.
I blinks at him, because i'm not sure i can breathe.
"Figures what out?"
"That i'm completely in love with my best friends." He says and I can feel the way he is smiling.
"Really." I squeaks and then tightens my hold around him.
"Mmm." He hums and then looks at me
"Completely." Kiss on my forehead.
"Utterly." Kiss on my nose.
"Extremly." Kiss on the cheek.
"Inlove." Kiss on the mouth.
He looks me in the eyes
"With you."
I almost tell him the same back, but then I can't help but smirk instead and says.
"Well i can understand that, because i'm really fantastic."
And when Sebastian just laughs and kisses me again, i can't help but feel like all things will be okay.
Because when things come down to the bottom line, we both know that we will protect each other from now on and forever ever and catch each other when we falls.
Exactly like we promised when we were six years old and meet each other for the first time.
