Ch.1*Prince Kurt*
Kurt's POV
*16 years later*
Prince Kurt was walking through the palace gardens with his most recent suitor, Prince Sebastian Smythe of Cincinatti. Being sixteen, today was his and Katherine's birthday, it was time for him to get serious about marriage. His father, King Burt, had been on the search to find the perfect husband's for him and his sister for the past year and a half. However, finding a husband was far easier for Katherine then it was for Kurt.
His twin was already engaged to a fine nobleman, Lord Noah Puckerman of Lima. They had been on again, off again since Katherine was thirteen until a month ago when Lord Puckerman confessed his undying love and proposed. Katherine happily said yes and they have been nothing but happy and in love since. Even his step-brother, Prince Finn, was set to marry a counts daughter, Lady Quinn Fabray.
Finn became his step-brother five years ago after his father married Finn's mother, Duchess Carole Hudson. She had been widowed after the death of Finn's father, Duke Michael Hudson, for fifteen years. He had died of a serious illness before Finn was born. Finn is two years older then Kurt and Katherine. It wasn't easy for the Prince and Princess when their father married Carole. But, Burt had been a widower for five years after Queen Elizabeth died in a tragic carriage accident when Kurt and Katherine were eight years old. It had taken awhile for everyone to get used to each other but now, three years later, they were one big, happy, royal family.
Everything was perfect and normal except for one thing, Prince Kurt was gay and very effeminate. Being the crown prince of Lima, this was not the way he was supposed to be. He was supposed to marry a woman, be strong and masculine, produce heirs, and strike fear and loyalty into the hearts of his subjects. In other words, he was supposed to be like his father, Lord Puckerman, and Finn. In fact, he had known all along that the entire kingdom was split between wanting Prince Finn or Lord Puckerman as king instead of him. Kurt was fine with that! He didn't want to be King! He knew Finn or Noah would be a better choice.
They would both make excellent Kings! Both had beautiful women who were completely able to give them heirs. Kurt personally hoped that Noah would become King for Katherine. She was of royal blood, the daughter of King Burt, which means her children would be of royal blood as well. The Hummel family had always been the only royal family to ever rule Lima and that led Kurt to believe that Katherine should be Queen. However, Finn was a Prince now! Which made him more likely to get the throne because he is a man. But despite all of this, Kurt still has to be married. This wasn't easy for him due to him being gay, effeminate, and no longer in line for the throne. Although, nothing had been made official yet, Kurt and everyone in the continent of Ohio knew King Burt was deciding between Finn and Noah. Kurt was no longer in the race.
It did hurt but he couldn't help but feel grateful. There was now less pressure on him and he wouldn't have to live a lie. However, he didn't feel ready to be married yet. He wanted it to happen naturally and to be in love, not because he had to before his eighteenth birthday. He had hoped that since he still had two years, and that Finn and Katherine were engaged, that he would be left alone to find his future husband on his own terms. Fate, however, could not be so kind to him so it seemed, his father and Viceroy William Schuester were still very much on his case about marriage. Which leads him back to where he is now, strolling through the royal gardens with Prince Sebastian.
Kurt had had a few suitors in the past year and a half, none of which he would EVER marry! He had almost refused another suitor after the last two, Lord Jeremiah of the GAP and Prince David Karofsky of Columbus. Lord Jeremiah had a serious ego problem and Prince David was very cruel and had a terrifying and violent obsession with him. He had almost given up until the day Prince Sebastian showed up.
Sebastian was very handsome, dashing, brave, and made Kurt feel good about himself. He was always giving Kurt compliments and being the perfect gentleman. Kurt was very attracted and fond of him, however, he was not in love with him. No matter how hard he tried, he knew something was missing, he just didn't know what. Sebastian was perfect and Kurt could see himself married to him, he just couldn't see himself completely happy. There was no fire, no passion, between them and Kurt always felt like he had to hold parts of himself back. Everyday he always begged whatever higher power was out there that Sebastian wouldn't ask for his hand. He didn't know what he would say! He knew Sebastian was not his true love and that the man who was was out there somewhere. He just wished that man would find him already!
"You are so beautiful when you're deep in thought Kurt.",Sebastian's voice broke through his thoughts.
Kurt, startled, looked into Sebastian's green eyes and said,"Thank you Sebastian!"
Sebastian smiled warmly and without breaking eye contact clasped Kurt's hand,"I can not wait until you see the gardens of my home in Cincinatti. You will love them! Of course, you can visit them whenever you like! Seeing as how they will also be yours once we are happily settled in our new life together."
Kurt, who had stopped walking once Sebastian had mentioned Kurt seeing his home, was scrambling to find something to say. How was he supposed to respond to that? Thinking fast, he said the only thing he could think of,"I just remembered father had said at breakfast that he needed to speak to me this afternoon. I am so sorry Sebastian! If you will excuse me?"
With a quick bow and without waiting for a response, Kurt all but ran back to the palace leaving a very confused Sebastian behind. As he retreated, only one thought was running through his mind,"It has begun! He has started to mention the two of us having a future together! How do I get him to stop before it is too late?" He didn't stop running until he was safely back in his bedroom and sitting at his vanity with his face in his hands. He had no idea what to do.
