Chapter Six: Sebastian's Back
RECAP:
Kurt was curled up on the couch with Blaine, a glass of wine, and Bridesmaids playing on the TV. Holly's party had been a hit with the kids, and Quinn even wanted Kurt to throw all the parties for hers and Finn's child when he or she is born. She and Finn refuse to know the sex, but that takes the fun out of everything anyway... the five year old in question was asleep on Blaine's lap. It was so cute; Kurt couldn't ignore the opportunity to take a picture. He stood, moving to get the camera, ignoring Blaine's pout, and protests that he really doesn't need to be photographed. He was about to return to the lounge, when the doorbell rang. Kurt checked the clock... 11pm... Who would be here at this time of night? Kurt thought, opening the door, only to come face to face with the past he thought he'd left behind... Sebastian...
'Hi Kurt...'
PRESENT DAY: Takes place just after this event
Kurt stood in the doorway, gaping like a stupid person trying to answer a math question they didn't know the answer to. Holly, luckily, was distracted by the TV, and it's not like Kurt was going to invite the man in for drinks and catch-up. Blaine, however, wasn't so receptive to the distraction, and came out to see what was keeping Kurt. He didn't know the man in the doorway, but the way his boyfriend tensed up, must have meant it's someone from the past... someone who doesn't have any part in Kurt and Holly's lives anymore. Sebastian didn't seem to notice Blaine; he was looking past Kurt into the house, hoping to catch a glimpse of his daughter running up the stairs, or hiding in the hall or something so typically Holly. I'm not going to get anywhere if we just stand here all night... besides, the security guard is watching me, and it's kind of creepy... Sebastian thought to himself, finally acknowledging Blaine, reaching out to shake the shorter man's hand, and introducing himself as an 'old friend of Kurt's'. He didn't want an argument with his ex right now, besides, if Blaine's there, must mean something more is going on between the two... he's not that cold... right?
'What do you want?' Kurt asked, not bothering to invite him in, even though it's freezing
'We need to talk, but not here. Lunch, tomorrow at Lucy's... you can bring Blaine,' Sebastian said, grinning... Blaine just stood there, glaring at the man
'No thanks, we'll pass. Now if you don't mind, I have to put my daughter to bed...' Kurt replied, trying to close the door, Sebastian stopped him
'Can I see her?' he asked
'You walked out on me, I think you'll get the gesture,' Kurt replied, slamming the front door closed before turning and storming into the lounge, where Holly was curled up on the floor, fast asleep.
Blaine was distracted by his boyfriend's last sentence you walked out on me... what could have happened between the two that's so bad? Blaine thought, instantly knowing that 'an old friend' was to prevent an argument on the front porch, where anyone could walk past and see. Sebastian wasn't stupid, he knew about the press, but maybe he could use it to his advantage... Blaine was worried. If this was affecting Kurt this way, it must be hard holding in that pain and not talking to anyone about it... now you know why he's so cautious... Blaine thought, remembering back to when they had first started dating. He returned to the lounge to find it void of life. Kurt returned downstairs five minutes later, having put Holly to bed. He headed into the kitchen and grabbed the beers Finn had left behind from the fridge. Blaine had never seen his boyfriend drink anything other than diet coke and water... so this was a shock, especially when he doesn't know if it's because he's a recovering alcoholic, or... actually, he doesn't know much about his boyfriend, except for the fact that he was in a wheelchair in highschool, lived in Lima, and sang in the New Directions Show Choir in highschool. Now, he's not usually one who endorses getting drunk to deal with problems, but if it will make his boyfriend talk...
They were still going at two the next morning, despite the fact that Kurt had to work, and Blaine had papers to grade, and tests to write out for his older classes. He'd never seen Kurt drunk before, and it was rather amusing, all the stories he came up with, and the cheerful laughter. Stories about highschool, something about a party at Rachel's that went horribly wrong... the April Rhodes story, which Blaine isn't sure about... he'll have to ask Finn... and something else about Mr. Schuester and the guidance councillor and their relationship... Blaine was pretending to also be drunk, but he wanted to stay relatively sober, so he could help his boyfriend to bed when he decides to pass out. It's amazing that they've managed to keep the noise down, and haven't woken the sleeping five year old upstairs... Kurt listens when Blaine tells him about how he first met Wes and David, and being on the Warblers. If he didn't know better, he'd think that Kurt was also pretending to be drunk, and that he was paying attention to everything Blaine was saying. Alas, this wasn't the case when the designer started randomly poking the kitchen counter and giggling when it didn't do anything. Finn was going to be so pissed when he picks Kurt up tomorrow. If this wasn't bad before, Kurt seems to think that Blaine's as drunk as he is, and that never ends well, especially when...okay... Kurt is handsy when he's drunk... I think it's time for bed... Blaine thought, fending off his boyfriend's advances, even though he really wanted Kurt in that way... he's drunk... I can't take advantage of him like that... Blaine thought, helping his boyfriend up to the master bedroom, before laying him down on the bed. Blaine wasn't sure if it was a good idea to sleep beside Kurt tonight, or take the spare room, and prevent an awkward situation... he kissed his boyfriend's forehead, tucked the blanket around him, and left the room, tiptoeing past Holly's bedroom, into the guest room, and sighing at the thought of sleeping without Kurt beside him... neither had been able to sleep comfortably alone since they started dating...
Kurt woke the next morning with a massive hangover. He didn't remember much, but there was something in the back of his mind that told him he'd embarrassed himself in front of Blaine... when he got downstairs, his boyfriend and daughter were eating breakfast, both looking up and smiling cheerfully as he padded through the kitchen to the sink, grabbing a glass of water, and pain killers from the cupboard, downing the two tablets in one shot. Blaine was watching him, unsure of whether or not he should bring up what happened. Kurt hadn't said anything about Sebastian, nor had he really said anything... at all... it was like the event never happened, which was probably why Kurt was pretending he didn't exist. Blaine wasn't going to give up that easily though, and when Kurt's eyes widened at he moved out of the room quickly, Blaine knew he'd have to work fast to assure Kurt he wasn't upset by what happened, and that they need to talk about it... possibly everything... Kurt was in the bedroom, on the end of the bed, head in his hands, slowly rocking back and forth like an insane person... Blaine tentively sat beside him, placing a hand on his knee and smiling
'Nothing happened Kurt. I'm not mad, or upset or anything. I've never seen you like that though... what's going on? You don't have to tell me the whole story, but I'd like to know why we're having lunch with Sebastian,' Blaine replied
'Shit, I forgot about that. There's alot about me you don't know Blaine, I'd rather not let it interfere in our relationship. What's done is done,' Kurt said, itching to just spill everything to his boyfriend, but refraining, knowing that it would scare Blaine off
'Fine, I won't push. Just tell me... Did you and Sebastian used to be in a relationship?' Blaine asked, feeling Kurt tense beside him
'Yes. I need a shower,' Kurt replied, standing and moving into his ensuite bathroom
...
Blaine had a feeling that would be the answer, but now that he thought about it, it's a burning question in the back of his mind... why is Sebastian here? Is it to win Kurt back? Kurt seems to really hate him though? So why is the tall, blonde, stinkingly handsome, man back in Philadelphia, interfering in their relationship? And what could possibly be so bad about Kurt's past that it would "interfere" in their relationship, so to speak? Blaine was thinking so hard, he didn't notice Kurt had come out of the bathroom, nothing but a towel around his waist, heading to the large walk in wardrobe. Blaine was gaping, like a fish out of water, and trying to steady his thoughts... he knew his boyfriend was hot already, but he'd never seen Kurt shirtless, or as daring as to walk through the bedroom with nothing but a towel around his waist. The designer didn't seem bothered by it, but the minute Kurt had his head buried in the cupboard, he closed his eyes, trying to catch his breath, and stop himself blushing like a seventeen year old boy... Blaine was looking at the ground when Kurt turned around, fully dressed. He was sure that Blaine was trying to get rid of all of the dirty thoughts; Kurt was trying to do the same thing, but failing miserably, when Blaine looked up, falling off the bed, and landing on the floor. Holly was giggling from the doorway as Kurt helped the teacher up, and kissed his cheek.
To: Kurt Hummel
Just letting you know that Tina had the baby. A girl named Kelly Leung Chang. She's so cute. You'll see her next week Kurt. Oh, and feel free to bring a date, or something... ;)
From: Mike Chang
Kurt excitedly clapped and tried to reply whilst bouncing on the balls of his feet at the joyous news. He hasn't told Blaine about the Chang's annual November party, but he's going to, because they've been together almost two months, and Kurt wants to take him... even though they're going to be asked alot of questions... Rachel seems to have backed off though, coming to the conclusion that when Kurt's ready, he'll tell them all about Blaine. Speaking of, his boyfriend is watching him from the driver's side, eyebrow raised, small smile on his face. Kurt explains his reason for excitement and sends the text back to Mike and Tina.
To: Mike Chang
OMG CONGRATULATIONS. I'M USING CAPS LOCK BECAUSE IT'S SO FIRETRUCKING AMAZING... I WAS GOING TO SWEAR, BUT THEN THOUGHT IT INAPPROPRIATE, HENCE THE FIRETRUCK REFERENCE. I'll be bringing a friend next week as well. Congrats, and give mine and Holly's love to Tina and Kelly.
From: Kurt Hummel
Kurt had sent a text to Finn to let him know what was going on with Sebastian, just as they pulled up outside the restaurant they're supposed to be meeting him at. Blaine wasn't looking forward to sitting across from his boyfriend's ex, and talking about Holly. It just didn't seem right for him to do that... he's not the girl's papa, or father. He's just the teacher, who fell in love with her father... wait love? Blaine gripped Kurt's hand a little tighter as they entered the cafe, but Kurt didn't seem to notice, spotting Sebastian and making a bee-line for him, sliding into the booth opposite him, Blaine beside him, pressed so close together, it was more than obvious to Sebastian that something is going on between the two... you left him remember Sebastian... it's your fault he's not in your arms back in Westerville right now... he thought to himself, smirking at the worried look on Blaine's face. He'd never been able to make sense of the looks Kurt had on his face sometimes. After their first time together, he could kind of make sense of some of them, but he hadn't gotten them down pat like Blaine seems to have done. In a way, he kind of envies the man, for doing something he could never manage... he made Kurt fall in love with him... even though the designer won't admit it, or hasn't caught on... that's your fault moron his conscience told him once more, knowing that this would probably be the last time he'd ever have a civil, if not tense, conversation with Kurt, before breaking his heart again...
'Why are you really here Sebastian? Don't say to see Holly, because I know you better than that...'
'Indeed you do... let me ask you something... what's the deal with you two? I mean, dating the teacher of your child? Kurt that's not like you...'
'Leave Blaine, and my personal life out of this. It doesn't involve you anymore... Holly doesn't want to see you, Finn doesn't want to see you, and I don't want to see you, so tell me why you're here, or not only will I drive you out of Pennsylvania, I'll make sure you can never come back...' Kurt threatened, and then wondered how on earth he'd be able to do that...
'I guess now is as good a time as any. You might want to read this through with your lawyers... have a good day Kurt... I hope Blaine's better than I was...'
'Oh my god...' Kurt said, ignoring Sebastian's final comment against his boyfriend and looking down at the piece of paper in his hand...
'What's wrong?' Blaine asked
'He's suing me... for sole custody of Holly... the court case is in March... I have to appear in two weeks for a formal hearing... this can't be happening...' Kurt said, resting his still throbbing head on Blaine's shoulder, the paper falling on the table between their linked hands...
Fucking barstard...
When Quinn and Finn had been told the news, they were so angry. For a pregnant woman, Kurt had never seen his sister-in-law this mad, except maybe the time Finn almost ruined her surprise birthday party for Kurt's twenty-first, but other than that... she was kind of scary. The designer had been on the phone to his lawyers for the last two hours, trying to get to the bottom of this debate. Apparently, Sebastian had every right to go for sole custody of Holly, and that Kurt would need to mount a case against the other man, if he had any chance in hell of winning anything. Puck and Rachel had arrived later that night, waiting for any news from Harmony, Kurt's attorney, to sort out this mess. Surely, Sebastian couldn't do this to Kurt? His hangover was long from gone now, instead he was pacing his study, talking and flipping through depositions and information and anything else that Harmony had brought over two hours ago. Blaine had to go and pick Wes and David up from the airport, so he'd told his boyfriend he'd come over later, but right now, he's not really sure of anything. Sebastian is playing him... he wants something else out of this... there has to be a catch... he's the only other person who knows how this really happened... but he doesn't have any claim to Holly... he's not the biological donor... Kurt thought, pacing back and forth, pen in his hand, reading over the documents Sebastian had left for him. He was going to be looking into everyone that had something to do with Holly. Blaine, Finn, Quinn, Rachel... everyone, even Burt and Carole, who had also been furious and demanded to be kept in the loop and appear at the hearing... Kurt didn't want to stress his father out, but it was good to have them behind him on this... not that they wouldn't be... they love that little girl as much as you do... Kurt thought, following Harmony out to the lounge where the others were sitting around, each expressing their disgust for Sebastian.
...
He didn't want to discuss Sebastian. He would rather focus on the case that has been mounted against him. Blaine hadn't spoken much in the last few hours, simply sitting with Mercedes and Sam, silently talking and making sure everyone else had refreshments and food. Kurt had begun pacing, ironically reading out the contract to himself, exclaiming how stupid it was... or how he was going to 'kill the barstard' with every sentence. He'd have to make sure that he doesn't do anything stupid, or that Finn and Puck don't do anything stupid. If he loses Holly's he's not sure he'll be able to go on... for the last four years, Holly has been his life... he's not sure what he'd do if he lost her... Quinn was flipping through papers with Rachel, both kept glaring at certain things, before placing pages aside. Kurt was wondering what had been going on, but stopped caring the moment he heard Blaine's voice through the silence... I've never heard such a beautiful sound... clichéd Kurt... but completely true... he thought, looking up from his self-rant, to make eye-contact with his boyfriend, who simply smiled and winked, going back to helping Mercedes pour drinks for everyone... you've been dancing around the issue for weeks... you both know what you want... it's not like you're in highschool, dancing around one another... he could just suggest it to him... no harm in that right? If Blaine says no, they can laugh it off, and talk about it some more together, and make the choice that's right for them... of course, the only person he can talk to about this is his sister-in-law, and it's not that he wouldn't talk to Quinn if he needed to, it's just... awkward to talk about... especially with Quinn being pregnant and everything... mental images bad...
'Hey, I was thinking. Wes and David are staying with Nick and Jeff tonight, so how would you and Holly like to stay over at the apartment?' Blaine asked, wrapping his arms around Kurt's midsection, smiling as Kurt turned to face him
'I think that's a great idea. I have something to talk to you about anyway,' Kurt replied, turning back to the island counter before Blaine could see the blush
'Kurt... what do you need to talk to me about?' Blaine asked, raising an eyebrow and moving so that Kurt had no choice but to look at him
'N-nothing important... just... stuff. Excuse me,' Kurt replied, moving back into the lounge, leaving a smirking Blaine in the kitchen... I know exactly how you feel baby... he thought
By the time Kurt and Holly arrived at the apartment that Blaine shares with Wes and David, he had already made them dinner and put a movie on to distract Holly, whilst he tried to get Kurt to talk to him about what was going on. Wes and David had been shocked when Blaine told them Kurt was staying over, considering they still don't believe that Blaine is dating anyone. Holly was asleep, and Kurt looked content, sprawled out on the floor, legs in the air, sketching. Blaine picked up Holly, and carried her into the spare room, tucking her into bed, before pulling the door closed, and returning to the lounge, to find his boyfriend had moved to the couch, curling as close to the corner as he could get, the farthest distance away from Blaine... okay, there's something weird going on... maybe I should broach the subject first, then it won't be so weird... Blaine thought, after all, if they were on the same page, it would only be natural right? Kurt had changed the channel, flipping through the stations, and settling on a repeat of Friends... taking a chance, Blaine pulled Kurt closer to him, the designer snuggling into his boyfriend, smiling. It's now or never Blaine... kiss him and see where it leads... here goes nothing... Blaine pressed his lips against Kurt's still lying back on the couch with Kurt between him and the back of the sofa. Since they had gotten together, kissing had been their go to thing. They hadn't gone past making out, but Blaine had plans to change that... if only his boyfriend hadn't beaten him to the punch.
'Blaine... are you sure you want to do this?' Kurt asked, breathless and content
'Absolutely... I'm glad we waited. If you want to wait more, I'll do it Kurt... no pressure. I really like you, and I don't want to stuff this up, but I've been waiting for this moment since I first met you...'
'Stop talking then...' Kurt replied, reconnecting their lips, and moving his hands to caress Blaine's cheek, and chest, moving slowly and resting over the top of his pectoral
Somehow, they had managed to get from the couch, to Blaine's room and his bed without tripping over anything, or crashing into the door. Kurt was trying not to think about this accomplishment, but it was a feat that he would point out later. Not thinking about this right now... Kurt thought, as Blaine pulled his shirt over his head. Good thing it's dark... Kurt thought, the scars on his back not exactly attractive, even though they're faded after all these years. Both men were now shirtless, and kissing... another feat, keeping our mouths attached... why the fuck am I think about all this right now? Kurt thought, pushing Blaine back onto his bed, and straddling his waist. They hadn't done this before. Their classic make-out position was just lying facing one another, never had they gone this far, of course, there is a reason for that... Kurt didn't have a preference for positions, and as far as he could tell, neither did Blaine. Although, how Blaine managed to flip them over without Kurt noticing was beyond him... only minutes later, they were both naked, and panting... well, Blaine wasn't, but Kurt thought he might have been. If he had of known that his boyfriend was a god before now, he probably wouldn't have waited so long to have sex with him.
'God you're gorgeous,' Kurt managed to get out between Blaine flipping him over and taking him
'So you've said five times in the past minute. You're sexy too Kurt... fuck,'
'So you keep telling... oh my god...'
'Nope, just Blaine,' he said, and if Kurt hadn't been otherwise preoccupied, he would have slapped his boyfriend.
They had spent the rest of their post-coitus faze talking. Blaine had been telling Kurt about life at Dalton, and both had agreed that neither had any regrets about what had just happened. Kurt was blushing everytime Blaine said the word sex in the same sentence as his name, and it made him feel like he was back in college... only different... everything else had fallen away, and after the third time... seriously, it's Blaine what do you expect? They're both young and still have enough energy to go three rounds... they had fallen asleep wrapped in each others arms. They had planned to use the Saturday to sleep in, and spend the day with Holly, but Wes and David had other ideas... like bursting into Blaine's room, not even noticing Kurt lying there, both naked (luckily covered by the duvet), until Blaine shouted at them to get out... David was gaping... Wes just looked normal, but it's like a light had just gone off in their heads... it was a strange thing for Blaine to see his two best-friends actually get something after such a long time, but when both winked and left the room, he groaned and fell back onto the bed, knowing that the minute they get out there, it's going to be innuendo after innuendo... so long as they don't wake... there was a squeal (seriously) from David, and then Holly's voice could be heard. Kurt sat up, pulling on his discarded sweat pants, and sprinted out of the room. Holly was standing in the hall, arms cross, whilst David just stared at her...
'It's rude to stare at people you know,' she s,aid, winking at her father who just smirked
'You're... small...'
'I'm five... what do you expect?' Holly replied, moving past David to hug her father
'I'm... this... it's too early... nice to see you again Kurt...' David said, heading into the bathroom, closing the door.
'Well, that's something different to wake up to,' Kurt replied, chuckling at his boyfriend, who had appeared in the doorway, shirtless and adorably sated.
...
Kurt winked and took Holly into the kitchen, thinking over the ways he was going to beat Sebastian... without telling Blaine about the past... well, maybe not all of it...
A/N: Next chapter: It's christmas, and also Klaine's two month anniversary.
