"Dad?" Kurt went to talk to his dad after dinner that night, so that he could tell his dad about Edith's Spring break plan.
"Yes buddy?" The man could tell it was serious so he turned off the TV.
Kurt gingerly sat next to his dad "I was just wondering, how do you feel about all of us joining Sebastian's family in New York for spring break?"
Burt looked at his son confusedly.
"Edie...Edith, Sebastian's mother wanted us to join them for Spring break in New York. They are going to check out New York before Sebastian go there next year. She said it might be good if I do the same, and she said she want to meet you and Carole..."
"I feel there's more."
"Umm, Sebastian's father...he and Sebastian and Lucas are not close, because they are gay..."
Burt frowned, he didn't like what he was hearing.
Kurt sighed, he felt bad for telling Burt about Sebastian's family life but he wanted Burt to know it was more than just a meeting the parents trip. Kurt wanted, needed to be there, to support Sebastian, and he thought Burt could become an example for Jonathan Smythe. Kurt explain the whole story to Burt, "...so Edie thought it would be great to help them make up. I want to help as well. I think his dad is trying, but he's confused; he's trying to accept his sons but doesn't know how to. He was brought up by Sebastian's granddad who is extremely homophobic. I don't want Sebastian to keep living his life thinking his father doesn't love him. Dad, I really want to be there to support us and I want you to meet Edie and Lucas and Sisi, because they are so lovely-"
Burt stopped the boy by holding his hand up. "We're going."
"Really?!"
"For all the reasons you said and of course for you, I knew you were going to New York, nothing can stop you. I've talked to Carole about me going to New York with you anyway. We figure we should help you look for place for freshman year. I want you to dive into your first year with excitement instead of having to worry about rent. You can leave it to your old man."
Kurt squealed and hug his dad close "Thank you dad! This means so much to me and Sebastian."
"We will talk more when your boyfriend comes on Friday."
"Of course. I'll let him know."
On Friday, before Sebastian went to Kurt's house for dinner, he agreed to meet his boyfriend in the music store to help him get the perfect music picked for NYADA audition. Sebastian had a feeling Kurt would eventually choose Parsons, half of the time he talked about his performances, he talked about the costumes.
Sebastian was running a little late because he was tied up with the quick meeting with his lacrosse team.
When he entered Between The Sheets, he saw a boy about the same age as Kurt and him, with a black framed glasses, talking excitedly to his boyfriend. He knew it was his boyfriend even his back was facing Sebastian because Sebastian would recognise that ass anywhere. Sebastian smiled for a moment when he thought his boyfriend was fanboying with the guy about fashion or musicals until he heard..."Can I have your number?"
And the boy just put on that 'I'm a nice guy I just wanna be your friend' face, and Sebastian could tell Kurt was hesitating a little. Before Kurt could say a word, Sebastian walked across the room and slide his arms around Kurt's middle, making the him yelped.
"Hey babe, sorry I was late. Got tied up with lacrosse meeting." Sebastian quickly nipped Kurt's ear lobe before he placed a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Bas..." Kurt sounded breathless with surprise, and that's exactly what Sebastian's want.
"Is this your friend, babe?" Sebastian quickly darted his eyes to the boy.
"This is Chandler; Chandler, this is my boyfriend, Sebastian."
Chandler looked a little embarrassed with a hint of pink on his cheeks. "H-hi, nice to meet you."
Sebastian gave him a quick wave. "Hi."
Kurt gave him a glare but Sebastian could tell Kurt was not really mad.
"I...umm, should go now. It's nice to meet you two. Good luck with your audition Kurt." Chandler gave them a awkward smile then quickly walked out of the shop.
"What were you doing?" Kurt turned and arched one of his brow.
"That boy was practically drooling over you. And I was being polite. I even said Hi." Sebastian gave Kurt the best 'I'm innocent face'.
"Fine, well, since you're late. I already found my sheet music for the audition, just let me pay for it and we can go."
"What is it?"
"A surprise. You will know if you come to my audition." Kurt smirked.
"Of course I will be there. I'm the perfect boyfriend, remember."
"Yeah, sure sure." Kurt rolled his eyes and turned to pay for his sheet music.
Friday dinner at Hudmels 2.0 turned out to be much better than the first time. Possibly because Sebastian behaved better, in Kurt's opinion. At least Sebastian wasn't groping his ass while Burt was around.
And Kurt knew the story about Sebastian and Jonathan had hit a soft spot of Burt. The man was the poster child of supportive parents of gay teens. He promised to talk to Sebastian's father during the trip, and he told Sebastian to never let what happened between him and his father get to him. He insisted all parents love their children, even if they were misguided, as family was everyone's safe place and Sebastian should feel 100% comfortable being himself with his family.
Sebastian listened to Burt with awe, he finally realised why Kurt loves his father so much. Because Burt Hummel was the fucking best father in human history. The talk gave Sebastian a little hope that maybe he could forgive his father someday. Maybe it will take sometime but he secretly hoped for the possibility.
So, they all agreed that the Hudmels and the Smythes would go to New York on the first weekend of Spring break. But Finn was not going, as he insisted that Rachel would actually break up, or kill him if he ditched her for New York, and he was not interested in New York like Kurt or his girlfriend. It isn't worth his life. But he gave a few pats on Sebastian's shoulder and gave him a bro-hug. "You're Kurt's boyfriend, that makes you my little brother too!"
Sebastian just looked at him with amusement while Kurt shook his head.
Kurt decided to reply to Parsons to confirm his place in the next school year. Although, he still had his NYADA audition coming up, it would be better to reserve his place now and withdraw once he decided between fashion and music (he loved both equally) than completely cut off his opportunities.
Kurt's audition was two weeks before Spring break and a week before Sebastian's lacrosse tournament. He texted his boyfriend to go straight to the auditorium because he would be busy preparing the performance till the last minute.
Sebastian went to the auditorium and found Blaine, Finn and their show choir tutor Mr Grandpa's Vest (Sebastian honestly didn't give a shit about that guy's name) sitting there already.
"Hey. You're right on time. They are just about to start." Blaine greeted him with a bright smile.
Blaine was around often enough when Sebastian and Kurt started their relationship that Sebastian didn't get jealous about Blaine hanging around Kurt anymore. He had learnt to accept that Kurt and Blaine were going to be best friends forever. Besides,if Sebastian got on Blaine's good side, he might learn some tricks how to cheer his boyfriend when he pissed him off next, like when he messed up Kurt's hair while they made out or ripped the buttons off his Paul Smith's shirt in his haste to get Kurt naked.
Sebastian sat next to Blaine, "Do you know what song is Kurt doing? He wouldn't tell me, no matter how I try to get him to tell me...if you know what I mean." He gave the short boy a wink.
Blaine coughed a little, "Umm. No, he didn't tell me either. He said it's a surprise."
Before Sebastian could ask more, Carmen Tibideaux walked into the auditorium like she owned the place. Even Sebastian felt a little intimidated.
Carmen sat down a few rows in front of the boys and she checked the name list before saying, "Kurt Hummel."
Kurt gracefully walked onto the stage although Sebastian and Blaine could tell he was a little nervous.
"Hello, I'm Kurt Hummel. I'm auditioning for NYADA with 'Not The Boy Next Door' from 'The Boy From Oz'. I will need my swans on stage..."
Mercedes, Tina and Brittany walked out on stage in matching outfits. Sebastian smirked proudly. His talented boyfriend was so prepared he would nail this audition for sure.
The moment Kurt opened his month and sang, Sebastian almost groan. When Kurt started with a lower register than what he often sang, he sounded so seductive.
The moment Kurt tore his perfectly fitted suit on stage and revealed those fucking gold pants. Sebastian was sure he did something wrong and pissed off his boyfriend. Why else Kurt have to teased him like this. Singing with his voice like angel and swaying his hips in the tightest fucking pants on earth that left nothing to the imagination.
Sebastian had never experienced so much sexual frustration as those 3 minutes.
He wanted this audition end now, and to just run on that stage and grab Kurt and fuck him on that piano. Sebastian suddenly found himself against the idea of Kurt going to NYADA, if performing Kurt was going to do this on a regular basic? He could only imagine all the gays in New York City that would go mad for Kurt.
Sebastian was lost in his thought while Carmen commenting on his boyfriend's performance, until Blaine shoved his shoulder a little.
"Huh?"
"It's over, it's going to be Rachel's turn. I-umm, guess you would wanna congrats Kurt on his excellent performance?" Blaine grinned a little too happy to Sebastian's liking until he noticed Blaine nodded to the direction of his groin with his chin, Sebastian shifted from his seat a little.
"Right...now excuse me." Sebastian quickly got up from his seat and ran towards the backstage.
The moment he saw Kurt in backstage, Sebastian stormed across the room.
"Bas! Do you li-" Kurt couldn't even finished his words before Sebastian pulled him close and crushed their lips together.
Kurt melted into the touch immediately and wrapped his arms around the boy's shoulder.
Sebastian sucked Kurt's bottom lips, signalling him to part his lips. And soon there's teeth and tongues, Sebastian pushed Kurt on the hips, making the boy walking backwards until he was pushed against a wall, and Sebastian hoisted him up, running his hands on Kurt's ass. Kurt wrapped his legs around Sebastian's waist to support himself.
"You are such a fucking tease, baby. Swaying your ass in those pants. So fucking hot..." Sebastian whispered against Kurt's ear before he kissed the spot under Kurt's ear, making the boy shiver and moan a little.
"Wanky." Santana's voice interrupted the boys, "Hummel, I didn't think you had it in you!"
"Santana! Get out!" Kurt blushed. Sebastian thought it was funny how Kurt would still blush over sexual comment when he could dance so seductively on stage.
"Whatever, I'm taking my girlfriend out of here, this room can't handle so much gay sex." She winked and pulled Brittany out of the backstage with her.
Mercedes and Tina were long gone right after they congratulated Kurt after the performance.
Kurt, still panting a little from the performance and the heated make out session, looked at his boyfriend with a fond smile. "So I guess you liked my audition?"
"You killed it, babe. You are so getting in. I'm so proud of you." Sebastian gave him another quick kiss.
Kurt smiled, "Great, now I just need to change, and you can take me to my celebration."
"Can you keep the pants on for the celebration?"
"Why, I'm shocked. Sebastian Smythe wants me to keep my pants on." Kurt faked a shocked face
"Well, I was hoping maybe you can give me another show before I rip this off you."
"It is Hummel couture, you are not ripping it off." Kurt gave him a glare.
"Okay. But private show please? Babe, I just sat through the most sexual frustrating three minutes in my life. I think I deserve a reward." Sebastian begged, literally begging Kurt.
Kurt kissed him one more time, then hooking his finger on Sebastian's belt. "My car, now."
The last Friday before Spring break, Kurt and Blaine went to Dalton in the evening to support Sebastian's lacrosse game. Kurt knew nothing about lacrosse, and Blaine missed his old friends from Dalton, so they figured it was good to keep each other company during the match.
"Seriously, I don't know what I'm doing here." Kurt looked around the place, frowning.
"Come on, he went to see your audition. Shouldn't you support him back?"
"I know! But at least Bas knows about music, I know nothing about lacrosse! I feel like an idiot here."
"Trust me, you won't need to understand the game once you see Sebastian."
"Why-oh." Kurt was cut off by the sight of his boyfriend walking out on the field.
Sebastian. Was. Super. Hot.
Kurt's jaw almost dropped looking at his boyfriend. It only took 3 seconds for Sebastian to find Kurt in the crowd and he winked.
Kurt, had no idea what happened the entire match but it didn't matter because he was too busy checking out his boyfriend's ass and legs in his lacrosse gear. He cheered loudly when he boyfriend scored and jumping a little up and down at his seat like a 5 years old.
Before Kurt realised, the match was over and Dalton won.
Kurt and Blaine waited until the Dalton team came off the field.
"Hey babe, hey Blaine." Sebastian flashed them a bright smile before quickly kissing Kurt on the cheek.
"Congrats." Kurt smiled fondly, and waved to the team as well.
"So you are the one the Smythe boys won't shut up about." One of the boy gave Kurt a cheeky smile before narrowing his eyes in recognition. "Wait, you look familiar..."
Sebastian rolled his eyes, "Really? Liam, that's one tacky pick up line. And aren't you straight?!"
"I am! I really feel like I've seen...have you performed in a cheerleading nationals before?"
"Oh...that, yes."
"Babe, care to explain?" Sebastian arched a brow at his boyfriend.
"I used to be on the cheerio team and I help coach Sue won national...singing a 14 minute Celine Dion mash up in French." Kurt smiled rather proudly.
Was there anything his boyfriend can't do?! Sebastian could feel his pants tightened. at the image of his boyfriend in a cheerios uniform. He needed to get out of there, fast
"Okay boys, great job tonight. Have a great spring break." Sebastian handed the trophy to his team-mates and took Kurt's hand in his, walking away.
"Have fun celebrating cap!" The lacrosse team shouted back cheekily.
"You still got your cheerio uniform?" Sebastian asked as soon as they were out earshot.
"Maybe."
"Don't tease me." Sebastian said very seriously.
"If you behave well over Spring break, you may get to see it."
"Oh, it's on baby." Sebastian gave him a wink.
The Hudmels and the Smythe met at the airport for morning flight to New York. Edith had insisted they took care of the trip expenses as she was the one invited them. Burt wouldn't have it and after a few conversation over the phones, they finally settled on Burt paying for the hotel room he and Carole were staying in; Edith would take care of all the flights and Kurt's room, or more really Kurt and Sebastian's room. Burt figured if they were going steady like they said, there was no point stopping them from sharing a room.
"I promised you will love Sisi, she is the cutest and sweetest girl I've ever known." Kurt said excitedly to Carole.
"I'm sure honey." Carole had heard so much about the Smythe family she felt like she already liked the family before she actually met them.
Sebastian pulled Kurt into a hug the minute the Smythes reached the Hudmels.
"Hey babe."
"H-hi." Kurt was a little surprised, he looked over Sebastian's shoulder and saw Jonathan looking everywhere but them with an awkward expression.
Edith broke the ice by extending her hand to Burt and Carole, "Hi, I'm Edith, just call me Edie. It's pleasure to finally meet you two!"
"Hello, just call me Burt. It's a pleasure to meet you too, and I can't thank you more about inviting us on this trip."
"I'm really hoping we can get to know each other more, Kurt always talked about how you two were such lovely parents."
"And Carole's pot roast." Kurt grinned.
Carole laughed and gave Kurt a one arm hug "Thank you sweetie."
Edith turned around and called her husband, "John, honey?"
Jonathan stepped forward, he clearly had some idea what this trip was about and he gave Burt a tight smile , "Hi, I'm Jonathan."
"Hello, Mr Smythe." Burt gave him a firm handshake.
Kurt and Sebastian exchanged a look, Burt had started observing Jonathan already.
The two families boarded on the plane. Edith being Edith, liked to spoiliher favourite people, and had booked them all on first class. The Hudmels had dropped their jaws the second they stepped into the first class area. They had never been anywhere so luxurious.
Sebastian's and Kurt's seats were next to each other. Sienna was running around between the seats with 'Milly' and getting everyone's attention through her multiple questions. "Lou Lou, can we get hot milk for Milly?"
"I think Milly would like to sleep don't you think?"
"Really?"
"Yes, and you should take a nap too, we have a long day ahead of us. We will take you to central park!" Lucas cooed.
"Kurtie, Kurtie! Sit with me?!"
Sebastian held Kurt close on his lap. "No, Sisi, Kurtie is sitting with me."
"You have Kurtie all the time! Not fair! Kurtie..." Sienna gave the boy her best puppy eyes.
"What's with you and all the puppy eyes!" Kurt shook his head and pulled Sienna up in his arms.
"Okay, honey, you can stay with me."
"Babe-" Sebastian pout.
"Shush. I'll make it up to you. I promise." Kurt perked Sebastian's cheek quickly.
Sebastian huffed in annoying but he watched Kurt and his baby sister in awe.
Burt and Carole saw all of it and they smiled. They could tell Kurt is really getting along with the Smythes. And they treated Kurt like family in a way.
Burt could see the love in the family. He just wished he would be able to help Jonathan Smythe realise.
They checked into W Hotel in New York, even the price was a bit over budget for Burt, but he wanted to make up to Carole about their honeymoon. Since he started the congress job, the income is getting better, Burt wanted to spoil his wife.
The suite Kurt and Sebastian are staying had a great view of New York skyline. Kurt stared out of the window with awe. A pair of arms came behind him and wrap around his middle, Kurt melted into the touch right away. "Love the view?" Sebastian rested his chin on Kurt's shoulder.
"Its just so beautiful, I will never get tired seeing it."
"I could say the same about you." Sebastian kissed him on the cheek.
Kurt smile fondly, "What's our plan of the day?"
"I think Mamma already booked our tickets for tonight Wicked show."
Kurt squeaked and turned in Sebastian's arms, "Wicked?! Really?! Don't you dare joke about this-"
"Its, true. I told mamma you love Wicked, so..."
"I love you. Did I tell you that? I love you."
"Love you too, babe." Sebastian smirked.
The Smythe took the Hudmels to the Central Park.
Sebastian and Kurt were holding hands the whole time. Burt looked at them with a smile, his son was truly happy. And they were natural together. They deserved to be happy. Burt looked over to Edith and Jonathan, Edith had hooked her arm through Jonathan's, mumbling something to Jonathan. The man seemed to be deep in thought, darting his eyes to the children ahead of them, especially Kurt and Sebastian.
Edith turned to Burt with a smile "I'm so glad you agree to join us. You've raised an amazing kid. Kurt is a darling."
"No, thank you. I haven't seen Kurt smile like that since his mother died. Your son saved him. He's a great kid." Burt looked directly at Jonathan.
"Thank you." Edith smiled happily.
Jonathan gave them a tight smile and looked at his son again.
They went to this small Italian restaurant for dinner. It was not a fancy restaurant but it had real Italian home cooking atmosphere.
"Its nothing fancy but it had the true Italian favour." Edith commented on it.
"Its cosy, its nice." Kurt smiled.
"Mamma can never make such good Italian food." Lucas laughed cheekily.
"You, no dessert for you." Edith gave him a look.
"I love mamma's French cooking better anyway." Sebastian shrugged.
"Thank you darling." Edith patted his cheek lightly.
"Everything's been perfect, and its only the first day." Burt beamed at them.
"Wait until we see Wicked." Lucas winked at Kurt.
Kurt turned to Burt and Carole, "You're gonna love it. I promise!"
"If I didn't learn to love it after you blasting the soundtrack for the past 17 years, I think you'd have disown me by now." Burt laughed.
"I'd never do that." Kurt pouted and everyone laughed.
It turned out Carole and Burt both enjoyed the show very much. Unfortunately, Sienna got a little scared seeing the Wicked Witch with the green face.
"Kurtie, can I sleep with you tonight? I'm scared!" Sienna was snuggling into Kurt's arms after the show.
"Oh honey, you don't have to be scared, its not real, and the lady with the green face wasn't really evil."
"Can I still sleep with you though? I don't want to sleep with Lou Lou, he snores." The girl wrinkled her nose in disapproval.
"I do not!" Lucas protested
"Do too! And you kicked Milly off the bed last time!" She held the stuff toy up.
"Did he?! Lucas, that's bad!" Kurt faked an angry look.
"So can I sleep with you and Bas? Pleaseeeee?" Sienna pleaded.
Sebastian didn't like where this is heading, "No, baby girl. You had Kurt on the plane, its my turn now."
Seriously, Sebastian had reached the point where he didn't care how much of a needy child he sounds like, he was done being clockblocked by his whole family. This was a family trip, so there was already guarantee he won't be having much sex, he needed to capitalize any potential alone time with his boyfriend, even cuddle and kissing time was precious during this trip.
Kurt gave Sebastian a teasing smile. Edith saved them all by announcing Sienna could sleep with her and Jonathan; and the child accepted it happily.
Once they had all arrived back to the hotel, Burt called Jonathan right before they headed back to their rooms.
"Mr Smythe, do you wanna go for a drink?" Burt gestured to the direction of the little bar in the hotel.
Jonathan hesitated for a moment, "Umm, sure."
Both men sat in the corner of the bar, after the waiter served their drinks and left them alone, there was a moment of awkward silence.
"I hope you have some ideas about what I'm going to say...because trust me its not easy." Burt rubbed the back of his neck nervously.
Jonathan took a big mouth of his drinks, "Yes, I know. I'm not blind, Edie didn't say anything but I know my wife."
"Do you know your sons then?"
"I...I supposed I don't know them very well."
"And why is that?"
"I'm pretty sure you know why."
"By meaning you don't know them very well, is because you don't want to know them very well, or don't understand why they are what they are?"
Jonathan frowned, he didn't know what to say.
"Can I ask you something Mr Smythe?" Burt continued.
"Yes..."
"What was the difference before and after Sebastian told you he's gay?"
"Uh-"
"No, there's no difference, he is still your son. A teenager who needs his father love."
Jonathan looked at Burt with guilt "How do you do this? "
"Do what?"
"Be all supportive with your son? How do you get pass it's wrongness?"
"There's nothing wrong with my son nor yours, they are great kids, they are just gay. You're making it sounds like it's wrong if a girl doesn't like pink or play with barbies. There's nothing wrong, and this doesn't make them bad people, their way of love is the same. They care about each other, support each other, their love is unconditional."
Burt stopped Jonathan when he tried to find a word, "I know it's different from the ideas you were brought up with, but Sebastian and Lucas are your sons. As far as I've seen, they are amazing kids. They are kind and caring. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life being distant to your kids? I remember Kurt was scared when he came out to me. The boy even tried to pretend he was straight so I'd be happy; but I wasn't. I don't want him to be someone else. I want him to be free, to be himself because that's what makes him happy. And a father always love his kid. Yes I dreamt about watching football matches with my son, and play sports with him but Kurt didn't like any of that. It doesn't matter! It didn't change the fact that he's my little boy and I'd love him forever."
"But my father..." Jonathan frowned, he was struggling to find his side.
"Your father's days are the past, I'm not trying to be disrespectful. I'm sure your father was a great man, because I can see that you are actually a good man. It's just time is different, society keeps changing. We need to move forward. not stick to the old dated ways. My father told me the same thing, I used to use the word fag too, because I was told they are bad. But when Kurt told me he wanted a pair of sensible heels when he was five, and it hit me, my son is gay, I started to think about it a lot, so he's gay, he is what the generation of our fathers would label as evil. Was he evil then? He was just five! Do I want to put a label of evil onto my son? The more I thought about it, the more I doubted the label. Just because he was different didn't make him evil. We just need to accept there are things we don't understand but it doesn't make them bad."
Jonathan was quiet for a moment, deep in thought, "I missed them."
"You were close with your boys before they came out?"
"Yea, and it's like they were out of my life all of sudden. I just don't know how to face them."
"Man, I'm not saying you need to jump into a pride parade or something, just stop thinking about the gender and focus more on the way they love. And the ultimate question is, is it really worth losing your sons to some label made up by the society. Is it worth it when your son needs help, and they have to turn to someone else instead of their father? Is it worth it to make your sons feel like they don't deserve or have your love?"
"No!I-" Jonathan exclaimed
"I think you found your answer. I'm not telling you to rush into it, but I think you found the direction you want. You just have to go with it. A family's bond is strong, I'm sure you'll work it out." Burt smiled and gave him a pat on the back before he left the man to his own thoughts.
