So here's Day 1!

Happy first day of Spring!
I had no clue when we set the date.
Coincidence?
So…Fat Radish to celebrate after class tonight?
Sebastian would not admit it, but it took him way longer than necessary to type out a message. He had to make it perfect. Everything had to be perfect. It was their first date. He didn't want to screw this up. But he couldn't seem overeager. Because he wasn't. Of course not. He's Sebastian Smythe.

Kurt grinned at his reflection, nodding his approval for himself. He looked pretty good if he said so himself. His hair was coiffed to perfection and his outfit looked amazing. White button up, charcoal vest, dark jeans, and a baby blue bow tie that made his azure eyes stand out.
He glanced at the clock, grinning when Sebastian's card caught his eye. After class, Sebastian had had a friend deliver a lollipop with a cute little note.
Me + You x 40. Ready?
Kurt was so ready.

"Damn. I look good." Sebastian murmured as he appraised himself in the mirror. He may sound cocky, but it was true. He looked hot. Well, he always did, of course. But there was a sort of pride in getting ready and looking great for a big date. And this was a big date.
He finished buttoning up his forest green shirt, adding a sleek black tie. Green. A very spring-ish color, considering it was the first day of spring. He hadn't even noticed until this morning. But it felt like an omen. Like this thing with Kurt was a new beginning, and it could possibly blossom into something more. That is, if they could stand each other more than they used to.
The first date, though. It was a big thing. A sort of swan song to singlehood for both of them.

So Kurt was a bit early, but hey, he was excited. And nervous. Mostly nervous. It was only fifteen minutes, but it was a chilly night. He shivered, wishing he had brought a coat. The vest didn't exactly keep him warm, considering it didn't have sleeves. And vests weren't meant for warmth. Damn weatherman had said it would be warmer.
He and Sebastian had planned to meet outside of the restaurant, which was where he was currently standing and shivering. He spun around, sagging with relief at the sound of the familiar voice.
"Hey, Princess," Sebastian greeted with a wink. That nickname was a habit he never seemed to break, but Kurt was fine with it now that they were friends and he knew there was no real spite behind the words. Sebastian gave Kurt a once over, just as Kurt was doing.
Kurt gave him a sincere grin. "Hi, Meerkat."
"We should probably get inside. You look like you might be turning blue."
Sebastian held the door open (Kurt grudgingly admitted to swooning slightly at the chivalry. Just slightly, nothing more!) and led them inside. He told the reservations to the hostess, who led them to their table. They were seated, ordered drinks, and discussed the menu for awhile.
"Oh, I almost forgot! I have something for you!" Kurt exclaimed as soon as they had ordered their food. He pulled out a box and slid it across the table.
Sebastian eyed the box for a second before lifting the lid off. He pulled out the first item and arched an eyebrow at Kurt questioningly. "Beer?"
Kurt laughed, "It's a sort of 'care package' to help you get through the next forty days."
"Of course, I'll definitely need these, especially the beer," Sebastian chuckled good-naturedly. He continued pulling out the contents. A box of pills for headaches. Pills for tiredness. A pen. His eyes lit up and he smiled widely as he pulled out the last of the objects in the box. "You remembered!"
"Oh yeah, the Clif bars?" Kurt grinned back at him, "I remember you would always be eating them when we hang out. So I figured you must like them, right?"
"Yeah, I love them. Thanks, Kurt, this is great!"
.::.
It had been a great night. They had spent a lot of time talking, getting to know each other on a deeper level, and bickering over nothing, because they just wouldn't be Kurt and Sebastian without some playful banter.
They talked. A lot. Kurt told Sebastian about his family. How his parents met and married when they were young, and it worked out for awhile. How he lost his mom when he was eight. How much he loves his dad and misses his mom, even though he also loves the new little family that was formed when Burt and Carole got married. He told of how proud he is of his dad becoming a Congressman, especially when he had started as a mechanic in his self-made business.
They conversed about Sebastian's dating habits. There always seemed to be a guy he liked, one he had been seeing and was losing interest in, and one he was planning on breaking up with. It was like a constant cycle, and he was getting tired of it. He was happy that they were doing this Forty Days of Dating project. They both agreed that it was a refreshing change from their usual lives.
So far, so good. The first date was a success.
"So should we split the che—?"
"I'm paying," Sebastian interrupted, taking the folder and sliding his sleek black credit card into the card holder.
"Wait, no it's okay I can—"
"I'm paying." He repeated.
"You don't have to," Kurt tried again.
Sebastian shook his head and insisted, "I asked you out on this date. So I'm paying." He snapped the folder shut and handed it to their waitress.
"Fine, but I'm paying next time," Kurt said.
"Whatever floats your boat, Princess."

It was 1:28 that night (or morning if you looked at it that way) when Sebastian received a text from his one of his friends. They had been talking about this Forty Days of Dating Project for awhile. He seemed pretty excited for Sebastian.
