"Kurt, I'm going out to a party with Brody tonight. It'll be really fun," Rachel said in a sing song tone.

"Rach, I told you I'm going to see the ball drop with Sebastian tonight," Kurt said as he sent another memo out. He was at work, and it was suppose to be his break, but he decided to work through it.

"But this is a NYADA party," Rachel said.

"And when I reapply and get in, we're gonna party our asses off, but till then, I'm going to watch a shiny ball drop while counting backward from ten," Kurt said.

"Fine. I'll see you in two days," Rachel said.

"Hang on, what? Why two?" Kurt questioned.

"Oh, uh, Bordy wanted me to spend a day or two with him afterwards," Rachel said.

"So if I did accept this invite, you would have had to leave me behind," Kurt said.

"We would've dropped you off first," Rachel said.

"I'm not four. Anyways, you go ahead. I have work to do," Kurt said.

"Fine. Bye Kurt. We love you," Rachel said.

"Love ya too dear," Kurt said before hanging up.

"You know, working through a break is just plain unhealthy," a familiar voice said from the door. Kurt gasped as his eyes met sly green ones.

"How'd you get back here?" Kurt questioned.

"The nice lady let me in," Sebastian said.

"What're you doing here? I'm not off for another two hours," Kurt asked.

"Just couldn't wait to come get you," Sebastian said.

Kurt smiled shyly as he continued his work. Sebastian sat in the chair next to Kurt and took a deep breath. Kurt hear dit and halted. He turned to Sebastian with concerned eyes.

"What's wrong?" Kurt asked.

"They said it's going to be in Paris. A night mass," Sebastian said.

Kurt dropped everything and scooted closer to Sebastian.

"They called this morning?" Kurt questioned.

"Yeah," Sebastian nodded.

Kurt gently took the frame of Sebastian's face and lifted it to look him in the eye. What he saw was the last thing he wanted to see.

"You've been crying," Kurt said softly.

Sebastian nodded, his slight chin stubble grazing Kurt's butterfly soft hands.

"What do you want to talk about? I still have twenty minutes in my break, we can do anything you w-" Kurt began.

"I just want to be here... with you," Sebastian said softly, looking into Kurt' eyes, feeling tears well up.

"Okay," Kurt said softly as his thumbs wiped away Sebastian's tears. He turned back to his computer and continued typing. He soon felt arms circle his hips and a head on his shoulders. He halted and turned to Sebastian and hugged him back.

"Let it out," he soothed as his hand rubbed softly along Sebastian's back, "I know it hurts, but keeping it in hurts more."

"Thank you so much for being here for me, Kurt," Sebasitan said softly.

"That's why I'm here. Anything you need, you just tell me," Kurt said.

Kurt felt Sebastian nod. He held Sebastian for fifteen minutes before the taller boy let go. He calmed down, but was still leaning on Kurt. Kurt smiled and went back to work, glad that Sebastian was here and that he could help him in some way.

"Okay. Bye, Isabella! Happy New Year!" Kurt called as he left with Sebastian. Isabella retorted as she smiled and waved.

"We still have three hours before the ball drops. Wanna go get something ot eat since it seems you skipped lunch?" Sebastian offered. Kurt knew he wouldn't take no as an answer, so he nodded. Dinner actually sounded wonderful at this point.

Sebastian opened the door for Kurt and went over to the driver seat. He adjusted his mirror and began driving, not sure where he was going. In the long run (thrity minutes later), they ended up back at Sebastian's place.

"What're we doing here?" Kurt asked.

"I'm cooking," Sebastian said as he went to his kitchen.

Kurt rose an eyebrow and walked into the kitchen of Sebastian's apartmetn to see the other man really zipping around his kitchen fluidly and making something that looked like it was going to turn out delicious.

"So you're a private-school-know-it-all-pretty-boy that plays a sport and cooks and can sing and is gay...?" Kurt said.

"Sounds about right," Sebastian chuckled.

"CAN YOU FLY?! Is there anything else that I should know? Are you a secret superhero?" Kurt asked. He dramatically gasped and pointed at Sebastian, "You're the old spice guy in disguise aren't you?"

Sebastian laughed as he halted his cooking process.

"I'm serious," Kurt whined as he sat on the opposite counter.

"Well anyone can do anything if they just put a little effort and thought into it," Sebastian said, "I bet you could even play a sport."

"Actually I cheerlead and played football at one point," Kurt said remembering his high school career.

"You mean like when you were in elementary and they made you do this, right?" Sebastian said, trying to keep the thoughts of Kurt in a cheerleading outfit and dirty football uniform out of his mind.

"Nope. High school was a bitch," Kurt said.

"Okay it's my turn," Sebastian said, "So you sing, you dance, you're a fashion genius, you play football, were a cheerleader, and are sexy beyond belief... are you sure you're not a superhero?"

"Nope, and you're wrong on one of those. I'm not that sexy," Kurt said.

"And he lies," Sebastian said.

"Am not," Kurt pouted.

"Whatever," Sebastian said.

Sebastian ended up making a light plate of linguinie. Kurt still couldn't phathom how delicious it was.

"That was delicious," Kurt said.

"Not the most delicious thing I've tasted, but yeah, I can cook a damn good dinner," Sebastian smirked.

"Oh whatever," Kurt smiled as he allowed himself to be lead out of the apartment by Sebastian and back to his car.

"You know it's going to be really crowded," Sebastian said, "More crowded than the tree thing. Stay close."

"Why?" Kurt said.

"I would hate to lose you," Sebastian said as he drove on. There was a comfortable silence between them as Kurt twiddled his fingers. He's been thinking for the past few days, and he's almost reached a decision.

X_x

"Can you see it?" Sebastian asked.

"Yeah, you?" Kurt questioned.

"Yeah," Sebastian said as they settled in the crowd.

"So many people," Kurt said.

Sebastian took this as his que to slide his arms around Kurt and pull him close. Kurt responded by truning to Sebastian and folding his arms agianst Sebastian's chest. He got a wiff of the subtle cologne Sebastian was wearing and couldn't help but let his eyes flutter closed.

"How long until the ball drops?" Kurt asked.

"Five more minutes," Sebastian said, "This is your first time seeing this isn't it?"

"Yeah," Kurt nodded, "It's not for you?"

"No, I saw this a few times when I was a kid. My uncle used to live out here, and I came here in the winter to visit, and he took me here a few times," Sebastian said.

"Lucky," Kurt said lightly smacking Sebastian's shoulder.

"But if I had to go through all the winters I spent in this city, this is the best New Years I've had thus far," Sebastian said softly stroking Kurt's hair.

"Really?" Kurt questioned.

"Really," Sebastian said resisting the urge to kiss Kurt.

"19... 18..17...16," the dull roar of the crowd said, growing stronger with each second.

Kurt and Sebastian looked each other in the eye, not able to look away.

"10," Sebastian offered.

"9," Kurt followed.

"8."

"7."

"6."

"5."

"4."

"3."

"2."

"1."

"Happy New Year, they said softly as their faces gravitated toward one another. Kurt's arms slid up to tangles his fingers in Sebastian's hair where Sebastian's arm slightly tightened as Kurt tip toed and pressed his lips softly onto Sebastian's lips as coffetti and snow cascaded over them, but that was unbeknownst to them as they reached a state of nirvana where their lips met.

Teeth and tonuge were absent as Sebastian and Kurt's lips grooved together, creating a full body sensation that neither one of them wanted to end. Kurt could feel Sebastian's hand on his hips, softly claiming them. Sebastian could feel Kurt's hands in his hair, craddling and fluttering fingers dancing with each strand.

Everything around them was void and black as the world stilled around them and moved all too fast at the same time. The roar of the crowd was muted by the tender silence created by the mere meeting of their lips.

Sadly, the need for air arose, making them slowly serperate, breaths slowly coming together in the inch gap between them. They stared at each other in an unspoken confirmation of what just went on.

"Wanna come back to my place?" Kurt asked, worrying his bottom lip, hoping he didn't push it too far.

Sebastian shook his head before realeasing Kurt and taking one of Kurt's hands in his.

"My place is closer," Sebastian said.

"Only by a secaond," Kurt chuckled.

"Do you really care?" Sebastian asked.

"No," Kurt smiled.
