"So where are you taking me?" asked Kurt, irritated as his hand was being dragged by Sebastian. They had taken Sebastian's glorious car (Kurt almost fainted) and stopped at a random place filled with trees-perhaps it's something called woods but Kurt didn't really care: manicures and hot showers were so much better than camping outdoors, and now Sebastian was dragging him to who knows where, and honestly? Kurt was dying from the suspense.

"You'll see," said Sebastian mischievously, eyes sparkling with mirth at Kurt's pout.

"Fine," huffed Kurt, letting Sebastian drag him with his totally not soft and warm hand. Sebastian laughed and Kurt was definitely not smiling that he actually managed to make Sebastian Smythe laugh-genuinely! This was a win. "This better be good, Sebastian," Kurt said, but he couldn't help but admire the way the sun beamed a ray at secluded spots in the woods.

"Hey! I just rescued you from Blainers and this is the thanks I get?" Sebastian grumbled, though Kurt knew he wasn't being serious. But, speaking about Blaine reminded Kurt about something...

"Bas…" Kurt looked at Sebastian and stopped him. "You aren't really going to fight Blaine, right? Tell me you were joking, or at least changed your mind. You know how I feel about violence."

Kurt bit his lips and stared at Sebastian with wide eyes, now an anxious, grey blue. "Bas?" he probed, and Sebastian realized he was staring at that little dip on Kurt's upper lip.

"Kurt, babe...I…" Sebastian trailed off at seeing Kurt's disappointed look and felt something churning in his stomach. "Okay, I'm not fighting Blaine," he lied. Kurt brightened and pulled him into a hug.

"Really?" he breathed. Sebastian felt his heart jump and tear at the same time. He was happy, yet...guilty.

"Really," Sebastian lied again.

"Thank you, Bas," whispered Kurt to his neck, smiling. "I know at least you keep your promises when Blaine doesn't. It takes a real man to back down on a fight for the greater good, you know?" Sebastian nodded numbly, and Kurt continued on. "I know this might not seem much to you, but I think you've earned my trust. You have no idea to how few people I give my trust to. I didn't even give it to Blaine when I was still infatuated with him. Shocking, right? Especially at the way we were acting all lovey-dovey together. But...you feel different." Kurt stopped to nuzzle Sebastian's neck, but Sebastian almost couldn't pay attention to Kurt. He felt horrible. "I hate violence, because it doesn't solve anything. All that results from it is pain and hurt and…" Kurt had to take a deep breath, because a tear tracked down his cheek. "We'd be no better than bullies. Because, you know, we're trying to prove to the opponent we're tougher than he is, by physical and verbal violence. You understand, don't you Sebastian?" asked Kurt, lifting his face to stare at the taller boy.

Sebastian couldn't speak; his throat was too dry.

"Sebby?" asked Kurt in a quiet voice. "You know, right? You understand?"

Sebastian finally got his voice to work. "Yeah," he said hoarsely. "Of course I do." Crap, he hated lying to Kurt, but come on. Was Blaine going to stop pestering Kurt if Sebastian didn't do something about it? No. Sebastian ignored the tiny part of his mind that he was sure was something called a 'conscience', and decided to go on to his own plans. This was for Kurt's good. He wasn't trying to prove to Kurt that he was tougher or manlier than Blaine...right?

"Okay," said Kurt with a deep breath, stepping away from Sebastian and rewarding Sebastian's answer with a beautiful, melting smile. "What is it you wanted to show me?"

Sebastian attempted to smile back and grabbed Kurt's hand. "If you'd stop interrupting me, maybe we'd be there faster," he shot back, and Kurt threw his head back and laughed, exposing a lovely, elegant white neck.

Swallowing dryly, Sebastian stopped to turn to Kurt. "Close your eyes," he ordered softly.

Kurt tilted his head adorably and knit his fine brows. "What?"

"Close your eyes. You trust me, don't you?" Sebastian asked. Kurt stared at Sebastian some more before nodding his head and closing his eyes.

"Yes," he whispered, "I trust you." Sebastian froze for a moment, seized by a terrible guilt. He manage to shove it away and reached out to grasp Kurt's cool, white hands. He pulled him along and heard Kurt giggle as he asked how Sebastian had gotten so romantic. Sebastian didn't say anything as he leaned in and kissed Kurt quickly, gently, on the forehead. That shut Kurt right up, flushing that delightful shade of pink that Sebastian always liked to draw.

Finally, they stopped. "Okay," said Sebastian. "You can open your eye now." Kurt did so, slowly, and stopped, eyes wide and mouth gaping open. In the middle of the grass was an odd looking tree, with a sort of hollow bark that made it perfect for sitting or lying down. The view was amazing, and it was solid enough to hold the weight of five people. Around the tree were bottles. Bottles of every kind. Red, yellow, orange, aqua, cerulean, grey, silver, gold, everything. The tree seemed to be encased with color, and Kurt just wanted to cry at the beauty of it.

"Come inside," Sebastian whispered. He led Kurt to the hollow, odd tree and spread his arms out, as if exclaiming, viola! Kurt took one look around and nearly burst into tears. He didn't know Sebastian was so deep of a person. The paintings that covered this big, odd tree were tremendously beautiful, skillfully done. One was a picture of an eye, covered with long, thick dark lashes and amazing colored orbs. Grey, blue, green at the same time, hidden under layer and layer of paint until it...well, not exactly blended, but Kurt couldn't explain it. It was just so beautiful. Kurt wondered whose eye it was, and why it had seemed so familiar, but he moved on. There were other paintings of trees, of bottles, of a lovely girl with dark hair and green eyes. "That's my sister," Sebastian explained with a soft smile. The paintings, although as small as a softball, made Kurt want to put it in a museum.

"You made this?" Kurt breathed.

"Yeah," Sebastian admitted modestly, looking down to his shoes. Kurt shook his head and walked over to Sebastian, taking two of his fingers and placing them under Sebastian's chin. "Bas," he whispered. "You...you're amazing."

And with that, he placed cool, soft lips onto Sebastian's and just kissed.

Finally.

Author's Note: short chapter, sorry! Hope you were satisfied. What is Sebastian going to do about the fight he planned with Blaine? He certainly feels guilty. What if Kurt finds out? Ha. Just some thoughts. Request anything, I'll do it. Sorry for updating so slow D: because of that, you guys can do what you want for the next chapter, but if I don't get any reviews for like a day or something, I'll just do whatever in the next chapter. So, keep in mind, you don't have to request. You can if you want, okay? See you in the next chapter.
