Chapter 16
"David, over here." Kurt's shrill voice immediatley pierced Sebastian's ears, causing him to shudder.
Dave bumped shoulders with him. "It's not that bad, Seb." He laughed at Seb's look of defeat, casually making his way over to the other boy's table; Sebastian relunctantly following.
"Hey David, how are you?" Kurt beamed, turning to Sebastian with a blank face. "Sebastian." He acknowledged.
"Kurt." He sneered, turning to Blaine with a wink. "Well, hello there Blaine." Earning himself a light kick to the shin; courtesy of Dave. His boyfriend didn't take his flirting to heart thankfully, knowing he only did it to stir Kurt.
"Hi guys." Blaine smiled cheerfully, completely oblivious to the growing tension around him.
"Congrats on your game the other day, David." Kurt smiled. "It was nice of you and your friends to invite us to come watch. I love hanging with the girls, gives me someone to talk fashion with while Blaine watches the game." He laughed. "I noticed you weren't there to watch." Kurt raised an eyebrow at Seb. "Too busy a social life to come cheer on your own boyfriend?" He asked snidely.
"He got stuck at an emergency Warblers meeting." Dave shrugged, answering for him. "It's alright, he distracts me too much anyways when I know he's there." Dave laughed, smirking at Seb.
"I'm sure the 'Great Sebastian Smythe' could miss one Warblers meeting." Kurt scoffed. "I know I never miss anything that's important to Blaine."
"Well aren't you being extra bitchy today, Princess." Kurt narrowed his eyes. "That time of the month?" Seb pouted in mock sympathy.
"Honestly David, why do you even bother with him?" Kurt sighed, dismissing Sebastian with a wave of his hand. "You could do so much better." He sneered, looking down his nose at Sebastian, like he was no better then the dirt on his heeled boots.
"I'll be right thanks." Dave laughed awkwardly. "The usual?" He asked, making his way to the line to grab their coffees, squeezing Seb's shoulder reasurringly, causing the smaller boy to smile. Dave always knew what to do to let him know everything was going to be fine.
...
Sebastian was almost starting to enjoy the weekly coffee dates Kurt and Blaine insisted on dragging them to. It made Dave happy that, after everything, he and they could be friends. Seb also enjoyed being able to tease Kurt everytime. He always stopped before it was too much, before he upset Dave at least, but he never missed an oppurtunity to rile the other boy up. It was just too easy. But mostly it came down to Kurt's dissaproving glares and judging looks that made him do it; he couldn't stand that superior look Kurt wore around him.
Who was he to judge them? What business did he have giving out his oppinion on their relationship. Okay, so he was Dave's close friend and Sebastian had attempted to steal his boyfriend at one point. But seriously, Kurt needed to get over that; Seb thought. He was with Dave now, and they were happy. He was just so sick of the snide little comments and snotty looks.
"What the fuck is your problem, Hummel?" He growled, as soon as Dave was out of hearing range.
"You. You don't deserve him." Kurt stated, looking far too pleased with himself, Blaine fidgeting uncomfortably beside him.
"And what makes you say that? Who are you to say we shouldn't be together? You don't know me and you barely know Dave."
"I'm his friend, thank you." Kurt glared. "And he's a good guy, to good for you." Kurt huffed.
"Really? Cos all his other friends, his best friends, are fine with me and him." Seb countered.
"They don't know what you're really like." Kurt growled. "You're nothing but a manipulative bastard who uses men for sex and nothing else."
"Oh really? Because last year, you would've said Dave was a bully and a coward."
"People change."
"Exactly." Seb smirked. "People change."
"We'll see." Kurt snorted.
"I don't need to prove anything to you." Seb rolled his eyes. "Dave's happy, I'm happy, and that's all I care about."
"Come on Kurt." Blaine pleaded. "You do this everytime we invite them out. Just leave it." Even Sebastian would've found that puppy dog looked hard to resist if it was directed at him. "They're big boys, they'll be fine."
"Who'll be fine?" Dave asked, startling everyone into silence.
"Ahh... Just the usual drama with New Directions." Kurt rolled his eyes dramatically.
Sebastian sighed. While he was grateful Kurt had dropped the topic of their relationship, he could really care less about the topic of New Directions.
...
"You haven't seen Thor? OH MY GOD!"
Sebastian jumped as Blaine's screech pulled him from his day dream. It was a shame really. It was an awesome day dream, involving Dave, tongues and various body parts.
"I haven't seen any of them. Is that a problem?" Dave looked thoroughly confused and slightly frightened. Sebastian couldn't blame him with the way Blaine's screeching had turned into a babbling mess.
"Friday. Movie night. Your house." Blaine thundered. Of course it wouldn't be at Kurt's; there was a strong chance neither of them would be welcome there, Blaine lived too far away, and Sebastian had no home, he thought miserably.
"Okay well, I've got a family dinner Friday. Come by round eight?" Dave suggested with a shrug.
Sebastian rolled his eyes in annoyance. He'd had big plans for that night and now they were going to be ruined by Queen Hummel and his curly haired minion.
"Deal." Blaine bounced happily. "Damn, if I'd known you hadn't seen them, I would've forced you into a full Avengers marathon." Blaine frowned in dissapointment.
"Well, thank fuck you didn't know then." Seb replied flippantly.
"Sebastian, I swear to fu-" Kurt's growl was cut off by Dave springing from his chair.
"Well, we've gotta go sorry. Homework and stuff, you know how it is." Dave shrugged awkwardly, dragging Seb away with a quick wave.
...
"You can't be civil for one coffee date?" Dave huffed, climbing into his car.
"Apparently not." Seb shrugged in a 'what can you do' kinda way. "What do you expect me to do when he sits there all high and mighty, making those snide little comments." Seb argued.
"You bait him, Seb." Dave countered.
"I jus- You know what? Fuck this!" Seb growled, jumping out of Dave's car and storming off.
"Seb... Sebastian stop!" Dave called, catching up to him and grabbing his elbow, turning him around. "What's your problem with him? If you just tried a little, you two would get along great." He smiled. "Give him a chance, he's a good guy."
"That's my problem!" Seb's voice rising the angrier he got. "You standing there defending him, like I'm the fucking bad guy, while I have to sit around listening to him telling me how you're to good for me. And how he doesn't think we should be together, that we won't last and that I don't deserve you." He sniffed, swallowing down tears. Sebastian refused to cry over anything ice queen Hummel had said about him.
"God Seb." Dave mumbled, wrapping him up in his strong arms. "He's just being protective of me, okay? I don't agree with it, but he's just trying to look out for me."
"He's a dick." Seb huffed.
"So are you." Dave chuckled. "But you're my dick, whatever he says." He nuzzled into Seb's neck affectionatly, Seb gripping him tight. "You're way to good for me Seb, no matter what he thinks. He just hasn't tried to get to know you, can't get past his first impressions of you. But he will." He kissed his cheek, pulling back to cup Seb's cheeks. "And then I'll be getting told how much I don't deserve you, okay?"
"I'm just scared you'll realise he's telling the truth." Seb dropped his eyes to the pavement, gasping in surprise as Dave pulled him into a slow kiss. It was very rare for Dave to show affection in public. And never kissing.
"I'd never believe him, cos he's wrong." Dave stated with conviction. "Now, come on. I left the keys in the ignition. Don't wanna get back to find an empty car space." He smiled, lacing his fingers through Seb's and tugging him back to the car.
...
"This is going to be a disaster." Kurt huffed, climbing out of the vehicle. "I don't know why he has to invite that horse face to everything we do."
Blaine turned to his boyfriend with an amused look. "Kurt sweetheart, Seb's his boyfriend, and this is Dave's house; of course he's going to want him here." He laughed as Kurt stomped his foot dramatically. "Honestly he's not that bad, if you gave it a chance to get to know him properly, you'd see that."
Kurt rolled his eyes. He'd given the boy enough chances, and while he could admit he did make Dave happy, he was still the same sarcastic, arrogant asshole he'd always been. Who's to say how long this could last before he dropped Dave for some hot guy looking for a quick fuck, leaving his friend in the same mind set he'd had after Prom? Leopards didn't change their spots; and Sebastian Smythe was a leopard.
...
Walking into the Karofsky's house was like stepping into the twilight zone. He wasn't sure what he'd expected that night, but Dave greeting them cheerfully at the door, ushering them into the lounge where Sebastian and sat laughing and arguing good naturedly over a hockey game, wasn't it. He felt like he'd just walked into a private moment, one he felt bad for witnessing; like if someone intruded on him, his dad, Carole and Finn's family nights.
"Something smells delicious." Kurt sighed. Whatever they'd been eating smelt heavenly.
"Oh yeah, Seb made home made pizzas." Dave smiled. "Some left if you guys are hungry?" He offered.
"Oh, hi." Paul Karofsky called, making his way over to the newcomers. "Kurt right?"
Kurt shook his hand, nodding. "Hello ." He'd only met him once, at a time he'd rather forget. But even in his petrified state, Kurt had thought him a nice man; reminded him of his own father, to be quite honest.
"Nice to meet you under better circumstances." The older gentlemen smiled uncertainly. "And you're Blaine, correct?" He turned to Kurt's smiling boyfriend, who nodded happily, making introductions.
"Alright, well I've got some paperwork in the den to work on. You boys have fun, okay." Paul smiled, surprising Kurt as he watched the older man rumple both Dave and Sebastian's hair with a chuckle, before heading off to, what Kurt presumed, the den.
"Kurt... Blaine." Sebastian nodded stiffly at them, as they sat themselves on the love seat. They both replied; Blaine more cheerfully then Kurt, admittedly.
...
Kurt watched, almost fondly, as Dave made himself comfortable on the recliner, Sebastian curling up on his lap like a cat. Kurt could almost say it was sweet, Sebastian nuzzling into Dave's chest, as Dave wrapped him in his arms, fingers running through his hair.
"You won't regret this, Dave." Blaine stated giddily, as the opening music to the movie started playing on the large tv.
"I trust your judgement." Dave smiled, laying his cheek on top of Seb's head.
Kurt smiled as Blaine snuggled into him, relaxing in the embrace of his boyfriend.
...
Halfway through the movie, a light snoring was heard; Kurt and Blaine throwing their attention to Dave, who was chuckling quietly.
"He rarely makes it through the whole thing." He whispered, gesturing to the passed out Sebastian sprawled out in his lap. Kurt smiled, his heart warming as Dave kissed Seb's forehead, slipping his arms under Seb's knees and shoulders and lifting the limp boy bridal style. "I'll be back in a minute, okay? He'll end up with a sore neck sleeping that way." He smiled, making his way up the stairs.
...
Kurt turned to Blaine with a raised eyebrow, as his boyfriend threw him a knowing grin. "Okay... I'll admit they're cute." Kurt huffed in defeat. "Maybe I should back off a little and give him a chance?"
"I think so." Blaine giggled.
"I'm just trying to look out for Dave. You remember what he was like before all this? And what we found out about... after prom." Kurt swallowed.
"I don't think you need to worry." Blaine smiled, kissing his cheek with a sigh.
...
"Sorry 'bout that." Dave called, making his way back to his seat. "Happens almost everytime." He chuckled.
"Do we bore him that much?" Kurt bit his tongue... He just couldn't help himself, could he?
"Come on Kurt," Dave sighed. "Stop it. You know, you're really starting to upset him." Kurt squirmed under Dave's dissapointed look. "I know you two have history, but please, you're my friend and he's my boyfriend. You don't have to like each other, but I'd like it if you were at least civil. I want us all to be able to hang out together, it's fun."
"I don't dislike him, he just brings out the snark in me." Kurt pouted.
Dave laughed. "He has that effect on people."
"I just don't want you to get hurt." Kurt mumbled.
"He won't hurt me, Kurt." Dave smiled, and it hit Kurt that what they had was real. That what they had was what he and Blaine had. And that Sebastian was right, he had changed, just like Dave. Maybe the boy was an ass, but not to Dave. They brought out the good in each other, the good that not everyone could see at first glance.
...
"Dave?" A mumbled voice called, Sebastian shuffling into the lounge, in only his boxer briefs.
"What are you doing up, Seb?" And Kurt saw that look on Dave's face; the look he got whenever he looked at Blaine, or his dad at Carole, or Finn at Rachel. The look of someone who's in love.
"I woke up and you weren't there." The half-naked boy whimpered. Kurt's heart melted a little, as the boy curled back into Dave's lap with a pout, Dave folding him up in his arms and wrapping him in the throw rug off the back of the couch.
"Okay, so that's adorable." Kurt whispered to Blaine, his boyfriend nodding as they turned their attention away from the snuggling boys back to the 'to die for' arms of Chris Hemsworth.
...
Sebastian climbed up the bleachers, making his way to the small group of huddled people, in an assortment of team colours.
"Oh awesome, you made it just in time." Candice smiled from her seat next to the girl Alex had met at Scandals. Seb had been right; third wheel, ditched for better prospects. But she seemed nice enough, she was funny, and brought the quiet boy out of his shell.
"Good, I love watching the pre-game stretches." Seb smirked as Kurt tsked in disaproval.
"Don't we all." The girls laughed.
...
Cheers erupted as the home team 'The McKinley Titans', took to the grounds. Seb stayed quiet as Kurt, his family and boyfriend, hollered along with the majority of the crowd, until the 'East Lima Dragons' filed out onto the field and Seb screamed along with the two girls beside him; smirking as he spotted Dave in their midst, scanning the rows of people till he spotted Seb and winked.
Seeing football players in their padding and tight pants, was usually something Seb enjoyed. But seeing Dave dressed like that, while Seb was cocooned in Dave's lettermen jacket smelling nothing but Dave, was hot as fuck.
He watched as they huddled around their coach, and then around their quarterback, before they were out on the field and Seb's eyes glazed over, following the fine ass of number 34, as his boyfriend plowed his way through players. Sebastian couldn't wait to get his hands on a dirty, sweaty Dave, showering Dave and then nice clean Dave who now needs another shower. With Paul away for the weekend, there was no limits to the fun they could have; sitting here staring at Dave's tight ass only made Sebastian impatient for the fun to begin.
"Wipe that drool off your chin, Sebastian. It's not attractive." Candice snorted as Nikki, Alex's girlfriend of a few weeks now, laughed at him.
He scowled at them for disrupting his dreams and returned his attention to the game. Line up, crash, throw ball, crash, repeat. It was all kinds of boring to him, being more of a hockey fan himself, football never really held his interest; he only came to watch Dave. He'd actually been kind of dissapointed when Dave had told him he used to play hockey; now that he'd love to watch all the time. That or lacrosse, he shrugged mentally... Or porn.
...
He screamed triumphantly as the buzzer sounded and 'The Dragons' were declared the winners. He was overwhelmed with pride, as his boy was tackled and high fived but his team mates; Dave had played a good game, not that he was biased.
"You coming with us?" Candice asked. "We're meeting them out the front."
Seb nodded, following the girls, along with Kurt, Blaine and his family, down the stands and out towards the carpark.
...
"Where you off to, Kurt?" Kurt gestured to Sebastian, his father nodding as he directed Carole and Blaine ahead, giving his son some privacy.
"I wondered if I could talk to you for a moment?" Kurt gound out.
The boy raised an eyebrow, which irritated Kurt to no end. "Make it snappy, Hummel."
"First, it's Kurt. Not Hummel, not Princess or Ice Queen; KURT. Learn it." Kurt growled.
"Noted." The boy scoffed with a roll of his eyes.
"Second, I wanted... I wanted to apologize for the way I've been."
"So you should." Sebastian smirked.
"You just refuse to make this easy, don't you?"
"More fun that way." Seb shrugged, attempting to continue his way to the car, but Kurt stepped in front of him, barring his path.
"Look... I'm sorry for what I said, about you and Dave." Seb raised an eyebrow, apparently Kurt needed to explain himself. "I shouldn't have said you weren't good enough for him. Who am I to say that?" Kurt fidgeted uncomfortably.
"Who indeed." Seb huffed. "Look, it's fine Kurt. It's not like you weren't telling the truth."
"No, seriously. I was being petty, but from what I've seen, you two are really good for each ot-"
"Watch where you're standing, faggot." Came a sneering voice that made Kurt's skin crawl, as a large hand forcefully shoved him, throwing him to the ground.
