Ending 1 - Kurtbastian


Chapter Twenty Six

Brittany was standing between two suits with cardboard cut outs of him and Blaine and Kurt faintly remembered when Sebastian had told him all about the shrine that Sue had to him and Blaine.

Brittany starting talking at once and Kurt didn't know what was going on, but he listened while Brittany rambled on. Blaine stood at his one side and Sebastian at the other with Sue seemingly guarding the door and as Brittany continued on Kurt started to understand. It was another attempt at getting him and Blaine back together.

"Okay," he said.

"I still don't get what you're talking about, though," Blaine said and when Kurt looked at him he did look confused.

Sebastian didn't. "Oh," he said

"Yes, you do," Kurt said, "just think about it."

"It's like a fake elevator again," Sebastian said with a roll of his eyes and Kurt turned to look at him.

He hadn't expected for something like this to happen, for Sue and Brittany to just ambush him and push him towards Blaine. He turned to look at Sebastian, but Sebastian didn't meet his eyes and Kurt knew that he understood it too.

"What Brittany is saying, Blaine," Sue said, "is that out of your love for your love, we have conspired to deceive and manipulate and yes, imprison you briefly all to reach this moment."

"Aha," Kurt said, "you admit it."

Sue shrugged her shoulders.

"We have two tuxes, do we have two grooms?"

They wanted them to get married? It was one thing for them to push for a reunion, but marriage. Kurt shook his head at once and when he looked at Blaine he found him wide eyed but thoughtful.

"I, um, I guess that's my cue to leave," Sebastian said.

Before Kurt could say anything, he was walking past Sue and out the door.

"Sebastian," Kurt whispered.

He turned and Kurt could see the pain etched on his face and Kurt felt like someone had taken all the oxygen out of the room.

"Kurt?" Blaine asked.

"I can't," Kurt said, "I—"

"Porcelain, you can't honestly not want to marry your—"

Kurt turned away from Sue and he stepped closer to Blaine. "I am so sorry," he said, "this was not how I ever expected anything to happen but I think – no, I know. I know I love him. I'm so sorry, Blaine."

It was like a moment of revelation, like the choice hadn't been there at all because it was so obvious that it had to be Sebastian. It was why he couldn't go through with getting back together with Blaine earlier in the week and why he'd had to go straight to Sebastian afterwards. His lingering feelings for Blaine were just a result of their past and how much he cared for his friend but everything with Sebastian was something else entirely.

"I have to go," he muttered and he walked past Blaine and then Sue, not stopping until he was outside.

He couldn't see Sebastian, but he walked quickly in the directions of the cars and he found Sebastian standing right in front of his car which had been blocked in.

"Sebastian," Kurt said.

He turned. "Some asshole parked behind me," Sebastian said and then, "what are you doing here? What, do you really need me to stand around and watch you and Blaine get back together? Because I can't do that. I can't watch you with him. I can only take so much of this, Kurt, and you can't keep going between me and Blaine and not making a choice. And I know – I know I said…I said that I would be your friend always but it hurts and it's hard and goddamn it but I fucking love you, okay. I love you and you're just going to go and get married to Blaine because it's like your destiny or something and that leaves me here standing in mud because some idiot decided it was a good idea to block me off and—"

Kurt closed the space between them and kissed him hard and he felt Sebastian gasp against his lips before he started to kiss back. Sebastian pulled back first, keeping his hands on Kurt's waist.

"Kurt, you can't be—"

"Choosing you," Kurt said with a grin, "yeah. Because I love you too."

Sebastian stared at him in surprise and Kurt wanted to laugh.

"You do?" he asked.

"Yeah," Kurt whispered against his lips before kissing him again.

Sebastian kissed him back at once, pulling him as close to him as possible. Kurt let himself get lost to it. It was right and he was sure that he'd made the right choice. He pulled away only when he needed air, but stayed in Sebastian's arms, just staring at him.

"So, we should probably head back there," Sebastian said what felt like some time later, "your friends are getting married."

"Do we have to," Kurt said, "it's Brittany and Santana."

"We can't exactly go anywhere, Kurt. Come on."

Kurt rolled his eyes, but he nodded. He grabbed Sebastian's hand and pulled him back towards the barn. When they got there the wedding was just starting and he saw the others already standing at the front, Blaine included.

"Let's just find seats," Kurt muttered.

They found a couple of empty chairs and slipped into the seats.

Up front his dad led Brittany and Santana through their vows and before Kurt knew it they were kissing and walking back down the aisle and everyone was cheering.

As was planned, the chairs were moved towards the tables that were already set up or moved so that there was more of a dance floor available. Most people were mingling or taking their seats and Kurt got separated from Sebastian while he helped them move everything around. He was surprised when he bumped straight into Blaine.

"I'm sorry," he said.

Blaine pursed his lips. "I am too," he said, "excuse me."

Kurt watched him walk away and he sighed. It pained him to see how broken Blaine was about it and yet he could tell that it was different from last time. Blaine wouldn't let himself fall apart and Kurt might even be able to fix their friendship if he gave him enough time.

The rest of the wedding was a hit. Brittany and Santana's moms got up to sing, and Brittany's dad gave a speech that was mostly offending. Everyone took to the stage at one point or another to offer music to dance to as had been Brittany's request and Kurt saw Rachel and Sam dancing together despite her earlier worries about his parents seeing her moving on from Finn.

Santana and Brittany made a show of cutting the cake and Kurt stood leaning against Sebastian.

The cake which looked a pristine perfect white turned out to be made out of layers of colors that made up a rainbow.

Sebastian chuckled. "Honestly, how gay can this get?"

"Did I not describe in detail how Brittany decorated Blaine and Karofksy's apartment?" Kurt whispered back.

"Yeah, kind blocked all of that out," Sebastian said.

By the time they left the party, most of the guests had already gone and Kurt had helped Carole take his dad out to his car so she could drive him home earlier so he'd taken note that Sebastian's car wasn't blocked in.

Brittany and Santana were slow dancing and the rest of his friends were all hanging out by one of the tables.

"You can join them if you want," Sebastian said.

Kurt shook his head. "I rather get out of here."

"Are you sure?"

Kurt nodded his head quickly. "Yeah," he said.

They left without saying goodbye, walking hand in hand out of the barn and headed towards Sebastian's car.

"I really thought," Sebastian said as soon as they were in the car, "that you were going to just get back together with Blaine. But I am so glad that it's not what happened."

"Me too," Kurt said.

He leaned over and kissed Sebastian on the cheek.


The next week found Sebastian listening to Kurt whine about some boy's ridiculous requests for a bar mitzvah.

"I just want all of this to be over," Kurt said over coffee at the Lima Bean, "and it's all Sue's fault. It's like she's punishing me for not getting back together with Blaine."

Sebastian laughed. "No one is stopping you from getting sick and taking the week off. In fact, I would recommend it."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "Even though it's become all about helping Myron and his party it's really the first week the students are actually getting some focus and practice for Sectionals. So I have to be there or let Rachel just decide to make it about her again. Myron seriously reminds me of her when she was younger."

Things got back to normal between them and Sebastian was just a little surprised and yet he felt that had it changed he wouldn't have been as happy. It was the ease in their relationship that he liked, and how Kurt just accepted him and didn't ask for him to change or be something he wasn't. Sebastian had never expected for any kind of romantic relationship to suit him and it had broken his heart to know that he might not be able to keep it. In a sense, he cherished it more. Waking up to Kurt on the nights he stayed over at his house or when he happened to fall asleep at Kurt's, or just seeing him smile, or kissing him it all meant the world to him.

"So, we got two new members," Kurt said by the time the week ended and they found themselves in Kurt's kitchen, "and one of them is Myron."

Sebastian had gotten quite invested in what was going on with the New Directions mostly because every story that Kurt told him got more and more ridiculous. He got to hear about Myron and his demands and the crushes that seemed to have appeared overnight among the kids and of course the drama that followed.

"I think Kitty will tone him down," Kurt said, "but the other addition is dating Spencer."

"The gay one that thinks he has my kind of game?" Sebastian asked and he leaned against the counter, watching Kurt as he moved gathering everything they'd need.

Kurt laughed. "Post modern gay." He rolled his eyes, "Anyway, we're still short members, but I guess we're getting there and Mr. Shuester always did have to bribe the band to join so we might end up doing that."

"Bribing," Sebastian said, "and somehow you guys were still National Champions."

Kurt shrugged his shoulders. "It's not like we ever made them sing. They were just there for the body count."

Sebastian watched him as he started preparing the meal and he was only a little surprised when he found himself actually thinking about how they might have their own kitchen in which to cook together some day. He didn't like to think about the future too much, because it was so unknown, and yet there was just a part of him that couldn't help it.

"What's got you so thoughtful?" Kurt asked.

He shook his head but walked towards Kurt, hands coming to his hips and pressing himself against his back. "Just that you're hot," Sebastian whispered.

"Bas, this is neither the time nor place."

Sebastian kissed his neck but pulled away. "What do you need me to do?"

"Can I trust you to make a salad?"

"I hope so," Sebastian said and winked. He grabbed the cutting board and the tomatoes that Kurt had set out, "I mean, I'm not that hopeless."

"You are," Kurt said, "you forget I've seen your kitchen which is made up of boxes upon boxes of cereal."

Sebastian grinned. "You're forgetting about the coffee, Kurt. What can I say, I like breakfast."

Kurt slapped his arm playfully. "Come on, now, help me."

Sebastian got their salad ready and he was done long before Kurt was putting the chicken in the oven, so he sat down and watched him as he moved around the kitchen putting everything else together.

"You know, I'm happy that at the very least you will keep me fed in the future with something other than take out."

Kurt rolled his eyes.

Things were back to normal and they fell back into the patterns of their friendship. Sebastian had even persuaded Kurt into watching Sherlock which he didn't seem to enjoy as much as he had Doctor Who. Then, of course there was the sex and Sebastian was surprised at how much Kurt was willing to initiate things and how he loved spending time with Kurt doing things like cooking or watching tv with him as much as he loved being intimate with him.

On a morning after a particularly fun night, Sebastian woke up to a phone ringing loudly.

Kurt groaned into his ear and Sebastian felt him move out of his arms and stretch towards the bedside table to grab the offending phone.

"Hello?" he said through a yawn.

Sebastian tuned him out, already falling back asleep, until Kurt was out of the bed in one fluid motion.

"Oh my god," he said, "is everyone okay? Was Blaine there?"

At the sound of Blaine's name, Sebastian sat up and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes.

Kurt had his phone pressed between his ear and his shoulder and he was trying to get back into the pants from the night before, but despite how amusing it was to watch him, there was a seriousness to the look on his face. Sebastian scrambled out of his bed and he dressed quickly.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"Dalton," Kurt said and then into the phone, "yeah, no, I'm coming." Then, he hung up.

"What about Dalton?" Sebastian asked,

"There was a fire," Kurt said, "it's um, it's bad."

Sebastian gasped. Dalton Academy was a legacy and most of the male Smythe's in his family had gone to Dalton.

"It happened last night," Kurt said, "Rachel didn't know if Blaine was there but some of the students probably were. I just, oh god, what if he's hurt?"

Sebastian pulled Kurt into his arms. "We don't know that anyone was hurt," he said, "how did we not hear about this yesterday? Maybe it happened late and no one was there."

"Maybe," Kurt said.

Sebastian kissed the top of Kurt's head. "Come on, where are we going? I mean, there isn't much we can do, is there?"

"Rachel wanted to meet," Kurt said, "she's leaving for New York in a few hours and she said she just wanted to see me before she left."

"Of course she does," Sebastian said with a roll of his eyes. He didn't bother to ask why Rachel was going to New York.

They met with Rachel at The Lima Bean and she apparently had all the gossip about the Dalton fire. She informed them at once that Blaine had been there but that neither he or the Warblers were injured. She also told them that they were still investigating the cause and because it was Rachel, she went on to tell them that if the Warblers were no longer competing they would need to change their strategy.

"You mean if you can manage to get enough members?" Sebastian asked.

He was still in a little bit of shock. Dalton didn't necessarily mean a lot to Sebastian. It had been his school, and he'd been proud of graduating from such a prestigious private school and yet it had been just a school. That didn't mean that he didn't feel the loss or the disappointment that other boys would not be able to have the experience of Dalton.

"With Mr. Shuester helping I am sure that we will get someone to join," Rachel said and checked the time on her phone.

"I just can't believe it," Kurt said with a sigh, "that place was amazing. It was my safe haven when things went wrong. I – I fell in love there and I met Blaine there. I can't believe it's just gone."

Sebastian grabbed his hand and Kurt smiled sadly at him.

"Blaine can't be doing too good about it," Kurt added, "it meant a lot more to him than it did me."

"And yet he wouldn't transfer back there when I asked," Sebastian said, "I wonder if the others know. I should probably try and get a hold of Jeff and Nick."

Kurt gasped. "Oh, god, Wes. He's going to be devastated. I think he dreamed of becoming Dalton's headmaster someday. I think I still have his number."

"I'm sure they'll rebuild it," Sebastian said, though he wasn't too sure.

Kurt nodded. "It won't be the same, though."

Sebastian agreed. The place had been amazing because it was historic and there were stories in every room. Sebastian could still remember the first time he'd stepped foot inside Dalton and how amazed he'd been by the large halls, and the marble floors and the chandeliers. Even the uniform had appealed to him. It was weird to think that it was mostly all gone.
