Chapter four

The last thing Kurt was expecting a few weeks after the confrontation in the Lima Bean was a phone call from Lucifer himself. But that's exactly what he got.

"Hello?" He usually didn't answer numbers he didn't know. He'd copped a lot of prank calls in his lifetime.

"Kurt? It's Sebastian. I got your number off Blaine." Kurt mentally began preparing himself to murder the love of his life. Blaine talks to Sebastian? Blaine gave Sebastian his number?

"What in Gucci's name do you think you're doing calling me, Smythe?" Kurt loved the way he could make the boy's last name sound like an insult.

"Calm yourself fancy pants. I just need to talk to you... Actually, I need your advice." Kurt had never heard the boy sound so unsure.

"About...?" He was pretty sure he knew what it was about. But that didn't mean he couldn't make the boy squirm a little.

"Dave... About Dave." The boy certainly sounded ruffled and uncomfortable now. "Look I realise you hate me Kurt, and I understand why. But you and Dave are friends right?"

"Yes. Well most of the time, if you can call it a friendship, then yes." Kurt's assumption had been correct.

"Well... I think I might really like the guy and-" Kurt didn't give him the chance to finish that sentence.

"You think? You think you might like him? Sebastian, if you want my advice about Dave you need to do a little better then that. Or you're just wasting my time here." Kurt stated. If the boy wanted advice he needed to start being honest with him.

"Fine! I really like him, ok." Sebastian ground out.

"So what's the problem?" The boys frustrated noises only widened Kurt's smile.

"Look, can we cut the crap Kurt?" Kurt bristled as he heard these words. But the next quickly sobered him up. "I really like him, Kurt. And I need your help. How do I get him to take me seriously?"

Kurt was caught off guard with that. He'd underestimated Sebastian's feelings for the larger boy. Granted he'd only seen them together once, but he'd honestly thought Sebastian had just wanted to get into Dave's pants. He had obviously been wrong about that.

"I mean, we talk almost every night, and I've asked him out a few times, but he just laughs it off everytime. He doesn't believe that I'm interested in him. Actually, he thinks I shouldn't be interested in him. Like he's not good enough for me or something." Sebastian snorted.

"I don't mean to be rude, but whats with this sudden change? One minute you're running around with half the gay population of Ohio, then trying to steal my boyfriend. And now you want dating advice?" Kurt may have felt for the boy, but he was still bitter over his pursuit of Blaine. He also didn't want to help the boy get Dave only for him to break Dave's heart. He had to make sure that he was in this for real.

"Why? Because I'm sick of being used like some sex toy. I'm tired of feeling disgusted with myself. Because I want what you and Blaine have. I want love. I want someone to love me for me and not just sex. I want Dave." Kurt's heart ached. Sebastian sounded close to tears. "I've never felt like this before Kurt. I just don't know what to do."

"Firstly, you need to understand that Dave has a lot of issues. He's still in the closet and still trying to accept who he is. I don't know if he's ready for what you want." Kurt could hear the boy sniffling in the background.

"Secondly, if you are sure about pursuing something with Dave, don't push him. He can get defensive and lose his temper quite quickly if he's made uncomfortable. You need to take this slow." Sebastian gave a weak chuckle at this before sniffling once again.

"Look Sebastian. After the argument at the Lima Bean, I went and apologized to Dave. We talked, and from what I can gather he does have feelings for you. He got quite snippy everytime I even attempted to insult you." They both giggled at that. "He has a lot of self esteem issues, I blame myself for some of that, so he may honestly believe you're too good for him." Sebastian snorted at that once again.

"My best advice would be to keep up with the phone calls. Hang out together if you can. Cut out some of the flirting and sexual innuendos you like to throw around so much. Make him see you're serious about your feelings towards him." Sebastian was definetly crying on the other end of the line now, though he quite gallantly attempted to cover the sounds. "Just take it slow and easy with him and he'll come around, I'm sure of it."

"I just want him to know how special I think he is. I hate the way he thinks about himself. Like he's hideous. Like there's something wrong with him." Kurt could literally feel his heart breaking in two for these boys. He could also feel the beginning of tears prickling behind his eyes.

"Actually, would you be interested in joining a PFLAG group with me and a few others? I've already asked Dave, he wasn't sure about it, but perhaps with you there he'll feel more comfortable coming along. I think it'll be good for him. At least help him fully accept himself and help him realise that there's nothing wrong with him." Now that he was certain the boy was no longer after Blaine, he felt he could stand to sit in the same room as Sebastian without wishing death on him. "Our first meeting is this Saturday. I can text you all the details tomorrow if you're willing to come along?"

"Ahh, yeah. I'll ask him. I won't say no to hanging out with him more, that's for sure." He laughed. "Anyways, I should go call him before it gets too late. It is a school night after all."

"Yes, and this phone call is greatly cutting into my skin care routine time." Kurt laughed.

"Alright, well thanks for all your help Kurt. And I'm sorry about everything, really I am." Kurt appreciated the apology.

"Let's leave the past in the past. Goodnight Smythe." He really needed to get started on his cleansing.

"Night Hummel." Sebastian chuckled before hanging up.

Kurt stared at his face in his vanity; strangest phone call ever.

Sebastian stared at the blank screen on his phone for a while after hanging up. Had he really just called Kurt? Had he really cried? He wiped his hand across his wet cheeks. Yes, yes he had. He'd needed a little liquid courage to call the boy, obviously he'd had one too many.

The last few weeks had been hell for Sebastian. He'd fallen hard for the quiet, beautiful boy and it drove him insane not having him. Sebastian Smythe was used to getting what he wanted. But Dave wasn't some object he could buy with his parents money, he wasn't some nobody he was willing to sleep with. He was Dave, and Sebastian was willing to do anything for him. Even taking it slow.

Sebastian was quickly wiping away the last of his tears before his phone went off. David was calling him? This was new, and in Sebastian's mind, a step in the right direction. "Hello Davey dear... To what do I owe the pleasure?" He asked.

"Hey Seb." Dave's laugh instantly calming Sebastian as it came through the phone. "Ahh... You usually call round 9, and it's 10 now, just making sure everything's cool with you?" Sebastian wanted to scream in triumph. Dave was worried about him? He was totally in.

"Everything's fine Davey. Just got caught up with some homework." Which was a lie. Sebastian Smythe did not do homework. "And I was just on the phone with Kurt actually."

"Kurt? What the fuck did he call you for? You guys hate each other." Dave sounded confused.

Damn alcohol! He hadn't planned on mentioning that particular phone conversation. "Ahh, well, I actually called him." What the fuck was he doing? " Yeah... Blaine told me Kurt was planning on starting a PFLAG group around here, and I was interested in joining." Nice save, he gave himself a mental high five.

"He's actually going through with it then?" Poor Dave sounded exhausted. Sebastian liked to imagine he'd been waiting up for his phone call before going to sleep.

"Yeah apparently. Anyways, I was thinking of going and I was wondering if you'd be interested in coming with me? It could be fun, and you'd have an excuse to hang out with me for the day." And who could say no to that?

"Ah, I'm not sure I'm up for that Seb. Sitting round in a circle, sharing coming out stories doesn't sound all that appealing to me." He'd obviously not heard the part about spending the day with Sebastian. "But... I guess it would be good for me to go. Plus someone needs to be there to break it up when you and Kurt start bitch fighting. " He chuckled. That laugh sent shivers up Sebastian's spine.

"So you're in? Excellent, it won't be so bad now." He was suddenly very excited for Saturday. He hadn't seen Dave in weeks and he missed seeing him. Phone calls were no longer cutting it.

"Yeah I guess so. Anyway i gotta go to sleep. Football practice wiped me out today." He yawned. "Talk to you tomorrow yeah?"

"I'll call you tomorrow Davey. Sweet dreams sexy." Sebastian attempted a purr.

"Night Seb." Dave laughed.

"Night babe." Sebastian hung up and stared at his blank screen again.

God he was a douche when he was drunk.
