Make My Heart Start Beating

19

My family is home.

Oh god, my family is home, and there are discarded clothes in the kitchen, signs of how we defiled the kitchen table, and DVDs strewn in the living room. "Oh no, the kitchen," I go to get up but Sebastian holds on tighter, "'Bas let me go, I have to go and clean up."

"Already done," cuts through my panic.

"Really?" I'm shocked.

"Hmm, DVDs are away. Clothes are up here. Condom disposed of properly, they won't find it. Lube back in with the frankly awe-inspiring amount of supplies. I scrubbed the table and put it back from where we moved it and I even dried up the lunch things."

"Oh," I relax into him, "Thank you."

"KURT!" Dad yells from downstairs and I sigh.

Eyeing up the man that might be my boyfriend, but I'm a bit confused as to if he's really accepted the offer or not, I ask, "Chicken for dinner?"

"Sounds good," that smirk is sliding back onto his face.

Standing up I wince and stretch my body out, oh yes that's going to be noticeable for a day or so. Wow, I can't believe I even did that. I've never done rough things, not even in the hotel, it was merely energetic.

Hands kneed my shoulders and I jump to see a naked Sebastian there, his thumbs dig into my muscles and I sigh. His kiss on my shoulder makes me shiver and he presses his front to my back, "Cold?"

"Not really, but we really should go down before dad comes back up," and I'm a little regretful.

Discarding my yoga pants I wear jeans this time but as he's eyeing up his old t-shirt I put it back on to keep it safe and my old t-shirt goes on him and covers up those freckles.

I refrain from mentioning the other t-shirt he was in when he came over, I think I may have just gained an extra t-shirt out of him, leaving me with a lead of one t-shirt over him.

As ready as I'm ever going to be I guide him back downstairs and into the living room, the smell of chicken is starting to waft through. Dad's sitting in his chair, and only Finn, Dave and Kyle are here. Carole must be in the kitchen.

"Where is everyone?" I ask thinking the whole gang would have all come over here.

"I thought it best to have a mini break," dad eyes Sebastian up and I flush, "We have just camped and fished together. I'm Burt," getting up dad holds his hand out to Sebastian who shakes it.

"Sebastian."

"Nice to meet you Sebastian," and dad isn't the slightest bit upset at meeting the boy who'd been so horrible to us for a short while in high school, I guess David's done all the hard work and it's easy to see how well David's turned out.

"Bro?" Finn asks brushing crumbs off of his chest, and I just cleaned the house, "Why are you wearing that new t-shirt you've been sleeping in all week?"

Oh god.

Trust Finn.

"Sleeping in all week huh?" Sebastian's smirk has gotten much bigger.

"Yeah," Finn nods and adds, "Hey Sebastian? How come your t-shirt looks like one of Kurt's?" Oh god.

"Does it?" Sebastian's all innocent, "It's mine though, just like that one's Kurt's."

"Oh..." And Finn doesn't get it, but David and Kyle do, and dad's picked up most of it too.

"Hello I'm Carole," and I love this woman for breaking up the embarrassing situation.

"Sebastian," and hands are shook again.

"Did you want anything to drink? Dinner shouldn't be long," when Sebastian turns down the drink she goes back to the kitchen and I really want to follow her and hide.

Instead I let Sebastian tug me over to a free part of the sofa and down to sit on it, as with the DVD watching moment he welds himself right up against me. His arm has slid around me and I wiggle to get comfortable trying not to wince and wondering if I'll get away with laying on my stomach for a while.

"So Sebastian," dad starts and I tense, "What do you do for a living?"

"I'm a writer, some small stories, bits and pieces," and that tone catches my attention, he's hiding something, I let it go and promise myself to corner him at some point and make him talk.

David's grinning at me, he flicks his eyes to dad then back to Sebastian, mouths 'Smythe' and then shakes his head.

Frowning at my friend I don't get it and then dad asks, "So Dave and Finn seem to know you, did you go to McKinley or one of the other high schools near by?"

Dad doesn't know. He hasn't worked out that this Sebastian is THE Sebastian Smythe. How has he not worked that out? Uh-oh. He's smart he'll work it out soon.

"Dad," I step in, "How was the camping? Were the fish biting?"

It diverts Finn who happily tells us all the boring details and Sebastian arches an eyebrow as if asking me what that was about but David takes up the thread and starts going on about the food, the great camaraderie around the fire and how nice it is everyone's grown up and moved on from when we were all kids.

Dad knows something's going on and then we escape to the kitchen table and I have to sit there and eat my dinner off of something Sebastian was doing things to me on. It doesn't help when his foot touches mine and rubs a bit.

We survive dinner and we're just getting to dessert and I start blushing when his phone goes and he glares down at it, "I'm very sorry it's my annoying agent and editor," he escapes the kitchen and we all blatantly go quiet and eavesdrop on him, "Oh, I'm sorry I was eating, I happen to need it, I don't know to keep living? Really, no really, and just why?" He goes silent, "Fine but you owe me dinner for seven, yes seven, I'm at my boyfriend's," my heart leaps and I try to keep my smug look from my face, "What? No I haven't forgotten how to do that! Yes, yes, I'm going now."

Walking back in he's angry so I get up, "You have more plot lines to do?"

"Sorry Tiger," and he does seem genuinely sorry.

"It's okay, I'll get your bike from the garage…" And then I can talk to him in private too.

"You have a motor bike?" Dad's frowning.

"No dad, it's a push bike, you cycle on it," and now is an excellent time to push him, "You might want to take it up, it's really very heart healthy," that gets me released to drag Sebastian outside.

"He doesn't know who I am does he," is all Sebastian says as we open the garage up.

"No," I move closer to him and then get dragged into a full body hug, I have a feeling Sebastian doesn't do anything by half. "I'll tell him tonight."

"Not ashamed?" That mask on his face is firmly in place, just what is going on inside his head?

"No, I'm not ashamed of you Sebastian, but I do want to get to know you, I want to know the man you've grown up to be…"

"Who says I've grown up," he goes to tickle me and then steps away to pick his bike up, passing me he leans over to kiss me, "See you later Tiger."

"Sebastian?" I have to ask.

"Yes?"

"Are we really dating?" Please let him say yes, please, I don't know why it's so important, but it really is.

Backing up a few steps he stares into my eyes, "Maybe I did grow up a bit because you are my very first boyfriend, I've never stuck around longer than a night, or two."

I get another kiss and then he's off into the growing twilight.

Shutting up the garage I get ready to take on my dad.

A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
