I'll forever hate July

Because it took you away

It was mid-August when Kurt got an internship at Vogue. It was mid-August when he finally got out of Lima, Ohio with no intention of looking back (except of course to visit his dad). The whole thing was kind of a fluke actually; Sue Sylvester knew someone and pulled some strings and... well, suddenly he was in the city.

He moved into an apartment with three college students, it was far too small and cramped and yet still too expensive, but it was better than being homeless. He had no space, and no privacy whatsoever… and it quickly got really frustrating. But he had to keep reminding himself it was just a temporary situation.

It had to be.

(Or else he was going to go insane. Hopefully once his internship was up Vogue would hire him and he could afford a place of his own, he didn't care how small)

He ate lunch with Rachel most days, who both loved and hated NYADA (she loved what she was learning and getting to perform all the time, but some of her teachers were giving her hell, and she was no longer the star which was a blow to her confidence), and while Kurt wouldn't trade his internship for the world, it was still difficult listening to her talk about everything he'd justmissed out on, the hurt of his rejection hadn't quite disappeared yet.

He was also making friends in the office. It was strange to be in a place where he felt like he was struggling to keep up with fashion, but the challenge that presented him was one he was willing to take on board. Even on a severely limited budget.

He kept his days full and busy, and he preferred it that way, he didn't like when he had to stop. Because stopping gave him time to think and thinking… well his mind was a masochist and liked to bring up memories he was happier trying to forget. But late at night he struggled to stop his mind from wandering back to June. It was late nights, green eyes and a devious smirk that filled his mind as he remembered the way Sebastian talked, laughed, smelt, felt... his kisses, his moans...

Kurt missed him. Kurt missed everything about him if he was being honest. In those few weeks he tried so hard to stay detached. To not get too many feelings in the way because he knew their time was limited. He'd known that. And he'd been guarded and careful. But Sebastian had still crawled up under his skin and made a mark that was going to stay long after he'd gone. Everything about it was the very definition of falling fast and hard, and once Sebastian left, he hit the ground full force and couldn't seem to get back up.

He thought breaking up with Blaine had been hard. But it was been nothing compared to waking up one morning and realising that what he'd had with Sebastian was actually finished.

Kurt had tried going to bars a couple of times. But it just wasn't his thing. He spent the whole time wishing Sebastian was there next to him rolling his eyes at whatever cocktail he was drinking, making snarky remarks about everyone else there, pulling him up to the dance floor...

He'd always end up going home feeling more depressed than he was before he left.

It was early October and he hadn't heard from Sebastian since the day of his flight to Paris. Not that he expected to, or that he felt he had the right to expect to. But still, come August he'd hoped Sebastian might get in contact with him, for 'one last round' or something.

He never did.

It was a Saturday night. All his roommates were out, having fun, being college students. He'd declined Rachel's invitation to a dorm party she was attending to stay at home and enjoy a night of mindless television watching. Because that was just the kind of guy he was. It was about 8pm when someone knocked on the door.

Kurt sighed, glad that he was dressed in sweat pants and an old shirt because he was sure it was Rachel trying to attempt to drag him out, and at least in this attire he could convince her it would be another four hours until he was ready to anywhere and by that time, was there really any point?

He started talking virtually before he opened the door.

'Rachel, I told you, I want to...' He trailed off as he stared at the person now in front of him, mouth gaping, lost for words for several long seconds. 'Sebastian?' he blinked several times not sure if he was seeing things or not. But sure enough a tall, lanky boy with dark blonde hair and green eyes was standing in front of him, with that same devious smirk.

'What... what are you...' Kurt didn't get anymore words out because that was the moment Sebastian stepped forward and kissed him.

It was desperate and urgent; the two boys clung to each other like the other was his lifeline and his last hope. It was full of goodbye, and hello, and lost time between them. When they finally pulled away Kurt was panting for breath.

'Why are you here? How? How are you here?' he asked through gasps for air.

'I got your message. Right before we took off. I got it.'

'Ok...'

'And I've spent every day regretting that I didn't say it back to you.'

'Say what?'

'That I'm an idiot who fell in love with you. That it was more than just friends with benefits for me as well. That I actually called you my boyfriend to people when you weren't around because I fucking loved how it felt. That I had no plans of seeing any other guy while I was in Paris and that I wanted us to pick up where we left off when I got back. But I didn't. Because I don't know how to be committed. I've never had to be before. But I just realised that... that in June it wasn't hard. Because I was so wrapped in you and everything you are that I didn't care about any other guy and... As soon as I did I had to come here, and tell you and... I know I'm really late to the game, but, well, now I have so feel free to interrupt me at any time now… because I will just keep rambling and I'm a little afraid of what else I might say.'

'Sebastian I...' Kurt was at a loss for words. He hadn't been expecting this, or planning for this at all and he had no idea what he was supposed to do. So he just stood there, staring at Sebastian wondering if he'd actually ended up going insane.

'Oh... you, you have a boyfriend right?' Sebastian asked. 'I should have guessed. A guy like you in this city isn't going to stay single long. I'll just...' he started to back away.

In a moment of desperation Kurt grabbed Sebastian by the collar and kissed him again. Kissing him gave Kurt such a sense of belonging, and comfort and being home that flooded right through him… and he didn't want it to end. He never wanted it to end.

'Don't go anywhere.' Kurt said when he pulled away. 'I most definitely don't have a boyfriend. Stay the night?'

'I... ok.'

They would talk in the morning about what they wanted, and what they would do about the distance, about their feelings, about who they were to each other... but that October night those worries were for another day. Instead they focused on what they did know. And that was each other. And that was enough.


A/N 2: Hi! Firstly, thank you for reading this. If you're here right now I'm assuming you've read the whole thing and I just want to thank you for taking the time to do that. It's awesome :). Like seriously, this fic got over 190 alerts. Which is just like... crazy. It's insane that that many people read this were like 'yeah, I'm interested in reading more' so clicked that button so they'd be sure to get an email when I updated.

Secondly; my biggest fear about the end of this fic is that people won't like where it's ended and will think it's a 'cop-out' or whatever. For those of you who do… or for those who do like it but just want more I have good news!

I'm creating a one-shot series called 'Open Up Your Heart' (each different part will have a separate title though) that will feature the adventures of Kurt and Sebastian post this fic :) so that's exciting. It's not like a proper sequel, but it'll just be little snippets and ficlets and stuff as the ideas come to me. So if that's something that interests you; definitely keep an eye out for it. I'll probably be posting the first one in the next week or so.

Otherwise, once again; thank so so so much for reading, and alerting, and favouriting and reviewing. It's meant the world to me :)
