When Kurt wakes up the next morning, the first thing he does is text Sebastian back on the message from the night before and ask him to come over to his house.

When Sebastian arrives a little, Kurt tells him that he thinks they should talk and then includes him in the things he discussed with Annabell the night before.

Sebastian is not totally convinced that what Kurt is suggesting is actually that good an idea, but he can see that it may be good for the two of them to have a little break from each other, though they will still see each other.

"I think we need to talk to you dad too." Sebastian suggests.

Kurt looked at him wide eyed. "About what exactly?"

"About how we will do this from now on.. And why we have to do this for some time.."

"You want to tell my dad that I.. That we…" Kurt blushes furiously and hide his face in his hands. He so does not want that conversation with his dad, not yet anyway.

"No.. What, no, of course i don't want to tell him that.. But maybe some of it, I mean he have to know what you're dealing with. And i think it can help you if he knows that."

Kurt still looks a little mortified, but agrees in the end.

The talk with Burt goes.. Well let's just say it's interesting. To start with the man is very understanding and thinks it's a clever decision to take a break from each other. Then the conversation lands on Kurt's urges, and Kurt blushes furiously when Burt ask if Kurt think of Sebastian that way and when Kurt tries to stutter his way through an answer, Sebastian rescues him and takes the word and tell Burt that he i positive that Kurt have had those thoughts at that spending so much time together will only double those urges, so this way they can sort of pause that. Burt seems to accept that in the end. Then Burt asks Sebastian how he is dealing himself and Sebastian admits that it goes okay, he have found a way to get that kind of satisfaction, but when Burt ask if that means his feelings for his son is minimising and if he doesn't think of his son like that anymore. Sebastian doesn't know what to say, he doesn't want to lie. There is a long pause after that where neither of the three say anything, then Kurt breaks the silence by saying that he have news, telling his dad and Sebastian that Casper will be home for christmas.

It's early December when Kurt and Burt comes up with the idea that they could invite Sebastian's parents for a visit around christmas. Chris and Maggie happily accepts when they get the invite.

Sebastian and Kurt's new schedule have been going on for some weeks now and even though the two miss being together, they both think that this is for the best, for now. They still see each other three times every week. Two times when Sebastian and Travis is over at the Hummel's helping Burt with the financial stuff, but the only interaction he have with Kurt is small talk like Hello and asking if he is okay. The third time they see each other through the week is when the Hummel's are having their sunday night dinner, but by now the house if full of people each sunday, because Sam, Travis and Annabel is invited to those too. So they don't get to talk much there either.

What Kurt misses the most is having Sebastian to ramble to and to have someone who seem to get him 100 percent,someone who likes him for just being him. One of the things he misses the most though are Sebastian's hugs, because those hugs always makes him feel safe and protected.

It's early december when he wakes up one night, covered in sweat. He hasn't had a nightmare like this for years, not since Sebastian became a part of his life. The nightmare is about his mom's accident and he almost reaches for his phone to call Sebastian, but then think's against it. Knowing that they have made a deal not to call another at night.

Sebastian misses Kurt's wit, his humor and his pretty blue eyes. 'The way he always says his name and the way he always comes to Sebastian to just ramble on about his day. He misses being close to the boy, to be able to just cuddle up with him on the couch or in the bed. But he held these thoughts for himself, knowing that they made deal.

It' the day before Casper will be back and Kurt is standing in the kitchen singing one of his favorite songs - the song Sebastian used to sing to him when he was sad 'Hold on'.

Anything that hurts you, hurts me too

I'm not gonna let your, world turn blue

Will you take my hand

And feel how close I am?

There ain't nothing I won't do for you

He doesn't hear when someone is knocking on the front door and neither when the door opens and a voice calls out.

Hold on, till you feel a little stronger

Hold on to me yeah, now I said

Hold on, everything's gonna be alright

Just hold on to me tonight

"Fuck, I missed our voice."

Kurt jumps when he hears someone speak behind him and turns around, squealing loudly when he sees who that is.

"Casper!"

"Hi, Kurt."

"How can you be here.. you parents clearly told me that you would first be home tomorrow."

Casper's lips twitches up in a small smile and Kurt let his eyes roam over the older boy's body. Those 8 month away have clearly been good for Casper, because holy hell! Kurt can honestly say that he hasn't really been thinking that much about the male body - Other than Sebastian's of course. - But now…

"So do I get a hug?" Casper asks and hold out his arms.

"Yeah, of course." Kurt breathes out and he is over hugging the boy in seconds.

"It's so good to see you again Kurt." Casper whispers and holds the boy tight.

"It's good to see you too Casper.. I missed you so much." Kurt whispers back, thinking how great it is to be hugged like this again. But as much as he missed Casper, a small part of him wishes that he was hugging Sebastian instead.

The next day, Sebastian gets to the airport to pick up his parents and together the drive to the Hummel's.

"Are you okay, son? You look tired." Chris comments as Sebastian helps him out of the car.

"I'm fine dad. I just think this whole new schedule not really interacting with Kurt, is draining me a little."

"Maybe you two should go back to how things were?"

Sebastian shakes his head. "I'm not sure that is what will be best for the moment. And it's not like we don't see each other. We do, it's just.."

"You miss him." Chris finishes for him and gives his son a smile.

"I do dad, i really do."

"I'm sure Kurt misses you just as much."

The front door goes up and Burt comes out to greet them and the four of them goes into the house to say hello to the others.

"Where is Kurt?" Sebastian ask, when he doesn't see his soulmate anywhere.

"His out in the back yard, with Casper." Sam answers, as the front door goes up yet again and Travis walks in.

"Casper is back already?" Sebastian's asks. He is happy to hear that the red haired boy is back, but he can't help it when his stomach drop a little by the thought of Kurt alone out there with him.

"Yeah, he came back last night, he actually surprised Kurt by stopping by here first." Sam offers and say hello to Travis afterwards.

"You okay, Prepstar?" Travis checks and Sebastian nods.

"We should go outside?" Annabel suggest and Sam agrees, looking back at Sebastian and Travis. "Aren't you going to join us? I mean i know you two are adults and all but we are way more fun to hang with than those three old ones." Sam says and grins when Burt makes a protesting noise.

"Sure, we will." Travis says and stirs Sebastian towards the garden.

Outside Kurt is standing with a ball in his hands and beside him is a red haired boy. Sebastian blinks a moment, because okay apparently Casper have been on some sort of grow camp, because the kid sure as hell have grown up to be quite a good looking boy. Hot even.

"Hi, guys. It's so good to see you." Casper smiles and hugs Annebel.

"It's good to see you too." Annabel says.

"We missed you man." Sam offers and bumps his fist with Casper.

"Me too man." Casper say and grins.

"Clearly you didn't miss me and Annabell as much as you missed Kurt, i mean you didn't knocked on my front door last night.." Sam continues and laugh when Casper tackles him and they roll around the grass laughing.

"Hi." Kurt says and nudges Sebastian arm.

Sebastian's turns his head away from the two other boys and looks at his soulmate. "Hi." He breathes out and he smiles when Kurt offers him something to drink, leaning his body close up against Sebastian's.

"So what do you guys want to do?" Travis asks and grins when Kurt tosses him the ball he have been holding. "We thought we could play a little?"

They agreed that they will write all six names down on a paper and then pick three names up from a bowl.

"We should get my dad and Maggie and Chris out here." Kurt suggests and Sebastian agrees, so he goes inside to tell him to come out. When they get outside again the teams have been selected.

Team One: Kurt, Travis And Sam

Team Two: Sebastian, Annabel and Casper

"Do you guys want to join?" Sam asks, and throws the ball to Maggie.

"Oh, my. No dear. I think i'm just gonna stay in charge of the food."

"Got it." Sam says and turns two Burt and Chris. "What about you two? I mean i know that you are on wheels and everything, but you can be like the judge or something."

"Sam…" Kurt whispers from behind him and knocks him in the backhead.

Chris laughs "It's okay. I think judges will be perfect for me and Burt."
