Make My Heart Start Beating

23

It's not until he stops dead in his tracks and stares at me before exclaiming "What?" I realise how I've phrased it.

"No, I mean yes, I mean," I rub the back of my neck, "He used to play a lot of football and if the ball landed in her garden she'd stab it in front of him with this giant pair of scissors making him cry. And then one night Puck got revenge on her and somehow blew up her garden gnome collection even though he swears he was aiming for the love seat."

If anything his face scrunches up in an adorably cute way as he falls over onto the grass of our front lawn laughing loudly. Crossly I put my hands on my hips and glare down at him, "It's not funny Sebastian, Finn was really upset and the Exploding Gnome incident only cemented the hate in her tiny little heart." He laughs harder.

"Sebastian," I huff and stamp a foot.

Giving up I check I'm wearing dark jeans and then sit on the grass near him, he nearly gets himself under control a few times and then starts laughing again.

When he can breathe without giggling I pull him to his feet and drag him to the front door, he's still sniggering as we walk inside. "Something funny?" Kyle asks as we pass through the living room.

"Apparently Sebastian finds the situation with our evil neighbour funny," I mock sniff.

"You mean the one that always glares at you?" Kyle frowns, "What's so funny about it?"

It's just sets Sebastian off and he leans on me as he struggles to get air in, rolling my eyes I tell Kyle, "Because she stabbed Finn's balls deflating them with her scissors," and Sebastian collapses to the floor howling and gripping his sides, "And Puck blew up her Gnomes."

Staring at me Kyle thinks for a few seconds, "This is another of those really weird Glee stories isn't it, like the cat at the nursing home," I fill him in on all the details and then Kyle's laughing too.

Leaving the pair of them to the hilarity I go to get some drinks out of the fridge. David sticks his head around the, "Why is my fiancé giggling like a school girl with your boyfriend and occasionally whimpering the word Gnome?"

"I told them about the evil neighbour," and he just nods.

"That was a bad time for Finn, the way he'd cry those silent tears was heartbreaking, and seeing the shattered pieces of Gnome littering her back garden was sad, pity she took out on him by throwing water balloons at him," he says.

"Don't tell them, they're bad enough as they are they don't need the additional information yet," I warn him.

"Got it," he nods and snags some more lemonade.

Breaking the two men up he manhandles Kyle to the sofa so they can watch a film and I tug Sebastian up to my room to see if he's still good at plotting so I can use him to help pull off the perfect engagement party.

Once he can function again I do get a lot of practical help in planning the party, he's got a head for organisation and can picture what I want fairly quickly, we steam through the plan and I can barely keep up with him as I type furiously.

"Done," I clap and press save several times, "We're geniuses, this is going to be the best party ever."

"Have you added the Glee club factor to it?" He's sprawled out on my bed.

"I don't understand," I'm confused again.

"Well I have noticed that the moment any one of you gets involved in anything it somehow turns into this big dramatic production with cataclysmic events at the big finale," he pats the bed next to him.

Laying down beside him I smile, "Oh that, no we just make it up as we go and hope, so far none of us have gone to jail, oh wait Puck did for a while, but none of us while we've been adults."

"He went to jail?" An arm pulls me closer. "Do I want to know?"

Telling him about Puck's aborted and ill thought out mission to steal the ATM he shakes his head, "How did any of you make it to Nationals? You're all crazy."

Snuggling in I smirk at him, "Does it help you to know that we thrashed you at Regionals with only one day of rehearsals? Or that we wrote most of our big winning songs the day before Nationals? Or that half the time we barely had the money to travel to the competitions? And that most of the time we were arguing with each other and trying to snatch the soloist part from everyone else to the point that we'd have sing offs all the time?"

"How?" He appeals to the ceiling, "How did you ever manage to get anywhere?"

"That Glee Club Factor," I mention, "Admit it we were amazing as a group."

"I refuse, the Warblers were amazing," he refutes.

"I will grant you they were good but New Directions were better, if crazy, over the top and dramatic," I wiggle on top of him pinning his hands to the bed, "And you're invited to the secret engagement party so you'll get to join in to."

"Not the party," He shudders doing things to my body that aren't unpleasant and my hips shift on their own, "Oh Tiger," his voice goes sexy on me and then he smirks, "So this was your plan, slay me with laughter, drag me to your lair and then have your way with me?"

"No, I had no plan but spending time with you," I lick my lips, "But now you happen to be here… We could practice kissing, it's been a while for me and what kind of boyfriend would you be if you didn't help me relearn this valuable life skill?"

"In that case I will sacrifice for you and take one for the team," his eyes land on my mouth and I lean down to press our lips together.

"I can't believe it," Finn's stomping down the hall, "I get that being guys means you can kiss but do those two have to make out ALL the time, they're supposed to be watching TV. Hey Kurt have see my… Kurt!"

I jerk my head up to see my brother standing there doing his best not to freak out. "Finn, I'm a little busy what have you lost now?"

"Sebastian, you had better treat him right!" Finn snarls at him.

My hands are still on Sebastian's wrists and he waggles his hands, "But Finn I'm the one that got dragged up here and I'm the one pinned to the bed."

Struggling with that one Finn hesitantly says, "Kurt, you had better treat him right?"

"Oh for goodness sake," I sigh, "Finn go away unless you want me to help you, Sebastian stop teasing my brother he's far too easy a target, and I have a boyfriend to kiss."

Beating a hasty retreat Finn is soon gone which leaves me with Sebastian who's grinning up at me, "Kiss away," he offers.

"I intend to," I lean back down and he tilts his head to help me when my cell phone goes off. "Now what?" Sitting up on Sebastian's stomach I answer the call trying to ignore the hands that are now resting on my thighs and making little circles there. "Yes?"

It's work and there's something wrong with the spare parts order, and this is why I hate being the boss, I have to sort out all the big things, it does however, appeal to the control freak in me.

"Damn I have to go in," I glare at the phone, "Can we maybe rebook more kissing later?" I ask Sebastian hopefully.

"Absolutely," and his hand slips to my groin palming me, I have to bite my hand to stop myself groaning and my hips grind myself into him. "God you look amazing like that."

"Guys?" Finn calls, and then wanders past my doorway with one hand over his eyes and the other one outstretched then he walks into a wall. "Ow."

Shaking my head I climb off my boyfriend and have to rearrange things before saying, "You can look Finn and I have to go into work so you're safe."

"And I have to see a Bean about a job so I'll be gone too," Sebastian adds.

Taking his hand away from his face Finn frowns, "Bean's employ people?"

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