Sorry ! i'm very late ! Enjoy this chapter !

Chapter 16 :

Kurt ended up going through their iTunes library while they waited for the food to arrive, barely getting to the chorus of one song before he switched to the next.

"Do you want me to show you your favorites?" Sebastian asked him as he made his way through entire albums in the course of a minute.

"No, I want to find them for myself."

Once in a while, when he would pause to listen to a song in its entirety, he'd catch Sebastian grinning at him and know that he must have stumbled across an old favorite. By the time they finished lunch, Kurt had made his way through more than three hundred songs. The overwhelming feeling he had got from looking at pictures of him and Sebastian all morning had faded away, replaced by a renewed curiosity.

He didn't hesitate for a second before saying, "I want to know more."

Sebastian, who had been fiddling with his phone on the couch, looked up as Kurt sat down next to him. "More about?" he asked.

"Us."

Sebastian grinned. He might have been annoying most of the time, but Kurt found his enthusiasm at any opportunity to talk about them kind of adorable.

As adorable as Sebastian Smythe could get, that was.

"What about us?"

"Our first date." Kurt decided after a moment of thought.

"Okay," Sebastian said with a nod. "Um. It was about two weeks after you and Sean – your boyfriend at the time – broke up. I asked you out and you -" Sebastian cut himself off with a laugh. "You thought I was joking at first. We used to flirt a lot with each other and you were used to me making passes at you so you didn't take me seriously."

Kurt thought of Sebastian and how he'd flirt with Blaine every time they ran in to each other at the Lima Bean. He tried to imagine Sebastian doing that to him, tried to imagine himself flirting back but – he couldn't.

"It took a while to convince you of how fucking serious I was," Sebastian continued. "But you agreed eventually."

"I agreed to date you that easily?"

"You agreed to go on a date with me," Sebastian corrected. "Neither of us was looking for a relationship at the time. You'd been going on dates on and off with a couple of guys and mostly, I think we were just looking for an excuse to fuck. Not that we needed one, but you know. Formalities."

The tips of Kurt's ears had gone red at Sebastian's bluntness but in a way, it was comforting that he didn't sugar coat things for Kurt. It was better for him this way, to know everything as it had been.

"Where'd we go?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.

"We went ice skating in Central Park." Sebastian said with a grin.

Kurt raised an eyebrow. "Really? No clubs?"

Instead of replying, Sebastian stood up and held out a hand to him. Kurt frowned at it before looking up at him questioningly. Sebastian smiled. "Think you're up for a re-enactment of our first date?"

It took them a while to get ready because they were both still in their pyjamas and Kurt refused to leave until he had showered and shaved. They didn't take Sebastian's car since neither of them wanted to risk getting caught in end of day traffic and Kurt said he would much rather walk anyway.

Central Park was crowded with people as it always was when they got there. Sebastian kept glancing at Kurt out of the corner of his eye. He looked glad to be out of the apartment and was taking his surroundings in with newfound excitement. Sebastian was suddenly reminded about how this Kurt didn't have the memories of late afternoons spent lazing around on park benches or under trees with their heads in each other's laps and their fingers twined. All this Kurt remembered of Central Park was from his brief visit during his Nationals trip in junior year of high school.

"Wait," he said suddenly, stopping in his tracks. "Let's not go to the rink."

"I thought we were going to re enact our first date," Kurt said with a frown.

"We were." Sebastian said. "But the rink won't be frozen right now and really, what's the point? There's no guarantee it'll do anything to awaken your memories of that night."

"So what are we doing then?" Kurt asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. "I don't want to go home yet."

Sebastian took a moment to relish in the way Kurt had said home instead of something detached like the apartment. Kurt was waiting for an answer though and Sebastian gave him a tentative smile before he said, "Kurt. Do you want to go on a date with me? Right here, right now?"

Kurt blinked, looking taken aback. "I -" Sebastian waited, his heart thumping in anticipation as he watched Kurt process the question. Eventually he swallowed and nodded, the tiny movement of his head sending immeasurable relief through Sebastian's body. "Okay. I guess."

"Fun fact," Sebastian said with a grin. "That was exactly what your answer was the first time."

See you;)
