Make My Heart Start Beating
34
A little stressed I might have snapped at dad a time or two until he told me to calm down or to go sit on the steps to calm down. He doesn't understand this is the day of the big party and nothing is going right.
I'm so out of practice when it comes to organising these things and then Sebastian steps up and between us we get it all done with an hour to spare. Standing back I eye up the banners in the back yard with a critical eye as Sam wobbles on a stepladder ready to move them the tiny distance if I so direct him to.
"That's perfect Sam," I call out and the affable blond nods.
Sebastian eyes him up and mutters in my ear, "And you're sure he's straight?"
"Dodgy hair dye aside he insists he's not gay," I whisper back, "I've only ever seen him interested in girls before, as far as I know he's never chased guys."
"If you say so Tiger," Sebastian is as sceptical as I am about Sam, maybe the guy has Bi leanings, typical that he wouldn't be interested in me but at least it means he's not interested in Sebastian either.
Having checked everyone's clothing choices and deemed them appropriate I saunter off to go and get changed for the day. The theme is casual as both David and Kyle prefer that, though David always looks good in a suit and frankly it's not worth the fight I'd have with Kyle to make him dress up, plus the moment my back was turned he'd be in jeans. Better to pick your battles and I'm saving everything for the wedding day suits, he will be dressed up and he will stay like that until his wedding night, at that point they really don't need me to interfere.
Also there's a pool at this party, I shudder to think of nice clothing getting drenched.
Humming in the shower I dry my hair and style it to look careless and then I strut to my room as Sebastian goes to shower and as much I would love to join him I don't want to be late to the party.
Pulling on my own clothes I linger long enough that Sebastian saunters in with just a towel, a towel he drops with a smirk as Finn unwittingly passes by and yelps covering his eyes and walking into a wall, "Door dudes! DOOR!" He yells and Bas laughs a little heartlessly.
"Mean," I tease Sebastian who still doesn't close the door, the man really does have no shame.
Sitting next to me on the bed he kisses me, "If we had some more time I'd show you just how mean I can be, after all I do owe you for your teasing behaviour the other day Tiger, you can't tell me about feeding you breakfast and then not expect me to retaliate."
"Was that me?" I try for innocence, "Sebastian what kind of man do you take me for?"
"A sexy one," he growls and pounces, wrestling me to the bed he drops kisses all over my face, "A hot sexy one who's all mine."
Laughing at him I shriek when he starts tickling me, "Sebastian, no stop, that tickles," launching my own offensive manoeuvres I grapple him and end up on top with his hands pinned, "Ha, serves you right."
"DUDES!" Finn's back at the door, "Seriously, door!"
Waggling his hands Sebastian lays the blame on me, "But Finn he pinned me again, it's not my fault."
"Kurt, bro really…" And Finn closes my bedroom door with a slam. He misses the way Sebastian rolls up laughing at him.
"Yep you are mean to him," I admonish and tap him on the butt, "Now get dressed and try to act like an adult at the party."
Pouting he stretches out on my bed like sin made flesh, "Oh Kurt? I got my medical results back…" He eyes me up, "And I'm clear, I have the results if you need to see them."
Shaking my head I step back from the temptation that is Sebastian being seductive, "That's fine, I believe you and yay my own results came back clean too…"
"That's good then, because I'm staying over tonight and you have an obscene amount of lube that will run out of date if we don't start on it soon," he's smirking at me and his body likes that idea as does mine.
Clearing my throat I have to flee the room or jump him, "Ngrgh?" Running I can hear him laughing at me and I lean on the wall to calm down in a completely different way.
Bustling about the back yard and double checking everything I hear some cars drawing up, my watch says who ever it is has turned up a whole ten seconds early and I let myself fall into host mode.
I used to think it was strange that people turned up when ever they felt like it to other peoples' parties but were always on time to mine, until Puck let slip how they were just all scared what I'd do to them if they were late. It does make planning a party easier if everyone turns up more or less on time.
The two guests of honour still have no idea and are mingling with their guests as the barbeque is heating up nicely. Puck has kindly donated a pool and it's now full so he'll announce it's open in a few minutes probably by getting in it and showing off his chest.
Out of the corner of my eye I see Sebastian flitting in and out of the house carrying trays of food and drinks with Carole. They're talking and I'm glad he's getting on so well with my family.
Doing a quick head count everyone invited is here, it's a depressingly small number of people to be at an engagement party but hopefully the quality of people will make up for the quantity.
With a prearranged signal I get Sam and Mike to casually get into position and then with a tug of a rope a sign reading 'Congratulations Dave and Kyle!' unfolds.
Glee fuelled mayhem ensues and at one point the couple are picked up and thrown into the pool and swimwear is universally revealed on the guests so they can all join in. It's pure chaos at its best with the pair of them right in the middle of it grinning like idiots.
"Well they look happy," Sebastian's snuck up behind me.
"They do, don't they," I sigh contentedly and lean back into him. "Thank you for all your help in getting this ready for them."
"It was my pleasure," his hands rest on my hips, "And it was fun too. Who knew my past misadventures in scheming could come in so useful and so strangely productive?"
In the pool a splashing war or more accurately riot has erupted and everyone is going crazy. I think that David and Kyle are going to remember this for the rest of their lives for all the right reasons. It's a good start to their new beginning together.
"Oh Bas, now we've managed to pull this off, don't think you're getting out of helping me with their wedding, if you thought I was out of control and high on power just wait until I have the wedding planner in tears and threatening to quit as I railroad everyone into my dream wedding for them…"
"Your dream wedding?" He questions, and eyes me up.
"I guy can dream," and then I wince because I've pretty much given up dreams for myself. His hands tighten on my hips and his head tilts, his mouth hovers near mine and for a few precious moments I wonder if I can get away with dreaming about him.
"Kurt," It's Blaine, he's dripping wet and standing only a few feet from us. The gel these days is far more waterproof so it doesn't run and his hair doesn't frizz out.
"Blaine?" I turn to him and stay nestled up to Bastian.
"We need to talk," my ex says firmly and I narrow my eyes at the way he's glaring at Sebastian.
"No we don't," I put my hands on top of Sebastian's and stand there staring Blaine down.
"Yes we do," he's using his reasonable tone on me, "Please Kurt, I don't want to see you get hurt."
I don't want to see me get hurt either but I stand my ground.
A/N: Sorry for any and all mistakes, I've tried to catch those I could, but I'm only human.
