~ The Eureka Sky Deck ~
Kurt had won lots of money at the Casino. He decided to purchase Sebastian a piece of Melbourne real estate.
Up on high, really high up.
Kurt had been watching Sebastian intently for the last half hour. He'd had a few drinks and was swirling this one with ice in a rushed fashion.
"Hey Seb, can you put your magazine down and come here?"
"Sure, what's up?" Kurt's sitting on a bar stool, which gives him equal height when Sebastian stands in front of him.
Pulling him closer and between his legs, Kurt's favourite hold of Seb. He wraps his legs around and places his hands softly behind each ear, so as Sebastian has to look into his eyes.
"I've decided to buy you, your own, place."
"Are we breaking up? But if we were why would you be buying me anything? That would have to go into settlement and …."
"No, no, nothing like that. Sh, sh, sh. Just listen can you?" Kurt could see where Sebastian's thinking was going and he had to interrupt. "Stop panicking."
Kurt places his hands around Sebastian's neck, his thumbs adding gentle pressure to either side, just under his chin. His fingers reach behind to the nape of his neck, and caressed him favourably into wanting.
"Do you remember that fun joining the 'Mile High Club' the other week?" Sebastian is paralized with expectation. "Answer me. Seb. Tell me. This isn't. A trick question."
It's all Sebastian can do to speak. "I'm kind of having difficulty, thinking …" He tries to clear his throat, as Kurt adds more pressure and pushes his finger tips into Sebastians collar bones. "How could I forget that? That was so, exhilarating." As Sebastian's eyes roll back, Kurt kisses him passion…nat….ly and releases his neck hold.
"Well, tonight, we're going to go stay at the Eureka building. I've looked into getting a floor there. And as part of the deal, I've organized for us to check out the feng shui."
Sebastian pulls Kurt into a tighter embrace, his needs and desires being met.
Kurt's mouth is alongside Sebastian ear and he whispers "And Seb."
Sebastian returns a nuzzle into his neck "Ahuh?"
Nibbling the bottom of Sebastians ear "Someone is knocking!"
"Oh!" is all Sebastian can manage, and a flow of heat rushes, downward.
It was a warm crisp clear night. From the balcony you could clearly see Geelong in the southern distance. The Tasmanian ferry was halfway through the port. And if it were truly possible, with the sky so black, you could reach up and pluck a star.
Bags unpacked and three liqueurs down, Kurt reaches into his 'Magic Fun Sack' and pulls out a blind fold.
"Um, Seb?"
"Ooh yeah Kurt?" It amazed Kurt how Sebastian answered like that, each time with those same words. Whenever he'd hear that inflection and demand in Kurt's voice. They both knew what that tone meant. Kurt had another great place to suggest for a little 'Risky Business'.
With so much money to splurge Kurt had booked not only the floor of purchase in question, but they also had the whole of the Eureka Sky Deck floor. And there were, as requested, no staff allowed on any of the floors. But Sebastian doesn't know any of the tinier details.
Sebastian is wearing bottle green satin pyjama pants, black slippers and a black satin robe. Kurt is dressed in black satin pyjama pants, bottle green slippers and matching satin robe.
"Seb, come here."
Kurt puts the bindfold on him. Never a question asked or explanation needed.
He grabs Sebastians hands in one grip and guides him, down the corridor to the elevator. Not hesitant and trusting completely, Sebastian follows where he is taken.
The elevator doors open, Kurt pulls him in. "Next floor is the Eureka Sky Deck and Platform." Says the speaker, "You are 88 floors above sea level. The wind speed outside is currently 40km but it has been known to blow 100kms. Please observe all safety precautions and if you feel unwell, we recommend you stay inside. You will note the gentle sloping floor and on occasions you may feel the whole building move gently. Please don't be alarmed, this is part of the structural integrity being met with regards to architectual designs."
Sebastian grabs at his stomach, uneasy queeziness hitting hard. Surely Kurt knows how freaked out he'll be? He'd told Kurt before that he never liked being out on these things. Sebastian had ended up a wimpering limp when Kurt pushed him into the cart for the roller coaster. And he would have thrown up, except Kurt wouldn't let him eat or drink that day. It was the expectation of making out that had him persevere through that ride.
And now this!
He leads Seb to the Platform. Sits him down and puts the softer slippers over theirs.
As the main doors open, fresher air blows toward them.
Gently Kurt leads Sebastian into the Cube.
Kurt guesses what Sebastian is probably feeling. He could feel Sebastian had started to hesitate as they got closer to the door. He'd put a hand on his lower back, a comfort spot that made Sebastian lean back into the feel and calm him a little.
To an outsider it would appear strange that they weren't speaking. They didn't always need to. Body language is louder, much louder.
The main door closed. "Ok, just hold the rails while I organize some comfort to sit on." And Sebastian holds the cold support.
"Right, now move down with me and take a seat."
Kurt presses for the Cube to extend out and while the machinery whirls into action he wraps Sebastian in a tight hug. "I'm not sure if I want to be sick or …."
"You're fine, you know this is going to be as exhilarating as the Mile Hi…."
"Kurt, I'm all trusting, but this time I'm just fuckiing freaking out. And I can…. feel….. I'm…. going … to… fai….."
"Faint, Sebastian. You just did Sebastian, you just did."
Kurt removes the blind fold and until Sebastian regains consciousness, he admires the sights around and under them. They're so high up near Heaven. And all below looks so teeny tiny. Little cars and trains like little ants.
And it is just like the brochure said: the observation deck that can thrill you with 'The Edge' - a glass cube that projects 3 metres out from the building - with you in it - suspended almost 300 metres above the ground!

Mwah. Well what did you think of this one? Let me know, or don't, your choice. But honestly, how often do you get to interact with an author?
{psst: ch2 of my story Why? is where you discover what happened to Sebastian's Blainey Bear.}
