Ending 1 - Kurtbastian

Chapter Thirty

A couple of years later…

"And the Tony goes to…Kurt Hummel…"

The rest was drowned out and all that Kurt could hear was something rushing to his ears. He felt Sebastian's arms come around him and then a quick kiss on his lips before he was being pushed up out of his seat and then somehow he was walking. He hugged his director as he passed him as well as the writer and his costars. People were clapping and offering congratulations as he walked past them and he didn't trip on the way to the stage and then Neil Patrick Harris was hugging him and handing him his Tony and Kurt didn't know if he had words.

"Oh my god," he said, "I, um, I - I won. My Sebastian…um, my husband, he told me that I should have something prepared but I had convinced myself I wasn't going to be winning anything tonight and now I don't know what to say. I guess, thank you. Thank you to everyone that believed in me and that cheered me on. I want to specifically thank my dad, my husband Bas, my best friends, and everyone involved in the show. My lovely co-stars as well as the writers and producers that gave me a shot. This has been a dream come true and I am amazed to be living it. Getting to play this role has been amazing and exhausting and so rewarding and from the bottom of my heart I am so pleased that I got the chance to do it. And lastly, thank you to everyone that has come to see it and that has made it the success it is."

Everyone was still clapping as Kurt walked with Neil off stage, and then he heard the host say something that he couldn't process because he'd just won his first Tony and he couldn't even remember everything he said and it was like everything had just turned on its head.

"I just won a Tony," he whispered.

Neil next to him laughed. "I know the feeling," he said.

Kurt had met Neil once before, and definitely acted like too much of a fan for his own liking.

"Yes," Kurt said, "you do. Of course you do. Oh gosh."

Neil laughed and suddenly there were other people there. The next presenters and other people that were all a part of the broadcast and a woman with a headset was congratulating him and then his publicist was hugging him and leading him away and Kurt was lost in a haze.

Rachel had told him what it was like when she won her Tony, how thrilling and crazy the immediate aftermath was and Kurt had known she wasn't kidding but being in the midst of it was something different entirely. He was led to where the press was and his publicist was rattling off on what he needed to say but Kurt couldn't process anything. He'd won a Tony!

After it was all over and he was back in his seat, his Tony still in his hand, and a minute or so left in the commercial break that meant everyone was mingling and trying to catch his attention to offer more congratulations, Kurt had eyes only for Sebastian.

His husband stood up. "You alright, Sweetheart?"

"I won a Tony," Kurt said.

Sebastian laughed. "You did," he said and Kurt fell into his arms.

Rachel who was seated with Jesse called his name and Kurt turned in her direction and waved. Jesse offered a thumbs up.

"Come on," Sebastian said, "let's sit."

As soon as they were on their seats the announcement that they'd be back on the air was made and around them everyone moved into place and Blaine who he'd spotted when he was on his way back out was up presenting and Kurt couldn't help but smile. They had all made it. He and Blaine and Rachel were big names on Broadway and Blaine was in the middle of a collaboration in writing the music for a new show. Mercedes was out touring on her own and her shows were all sold out. One of Artie's movies had been nominated for an Oscar the year before, and even Sam was happy coaching the New Directions back in Lima.

Sebastian took his hand and Kurt smiled, leaning against him, clapping when the next winner was announced.

The rest of the night was a whirlwind and he was swept into it with Sebastian. There were interviews to give, people to talk to, and then parties to attend. Everyone wanted to know how he felt and if he really hadn't expected to win despite all the buzz surrounding his name and his show.

By the time that it was all over, Kurt was definitely a little bit buzzed and he walked with his arms around Sebastian who was laughing as they left the last party.

"Oh god, this really happened," Kurt whispered.

Sebastian grinned at him. "I'm so proud of you."

"It's like everything I've worked so hard for is validated. I mean, when I got the role it was amazing but this is. I can't describe it."

Sebastian kissed his forehead and Kurt smiled at him.

"I feel like I'm ready to take on anything," Kurt said.

They made it back to their apartment by the time that the sun was starting to rise and Kurt lingered over their window, peering out at the empty street. When he'd been preparing to go earlier, Kurt had thrown all his hopes of winning aside. The other nominees had been well deserving and more seasoned than Kurt. This had been his first nomination and the first show he'd actually gotten to originate and play a lead role in after years of being an understudy, of being a part of the ensemble, going out on touring shows, and then taking the lead in established shows when other actors were stepping down for other roles.

Sebastian wrapped his arms around him from behind and Kurt settled into him. Marriage had changed little for them, except to bring them even closer.

"I can't believe I'm not even tired," Kurt said.

And he wasn't. Maybe it was the adrenaline that was still pumping through him, or the glasses of champagne he'd drunk, or just the mere fact that he was a Tony winner, but he just didn't think he'd be able to fall asleep.

"Well I am," Sebastian said, "I didn't win an award tonight."

Kurt rolled his eyes and turned in his arms, arms going up to Sebastian's neck and his fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck.

"It changes nothing, you know, just something else to add to the shelf in the living room and bragging rights."

Sebastian rolled his eyes. "Don't make light of it," he said, "it's amazing."

"Yeah, it is," Kurt said, "just as amazing as it's going to be when you finally get that book you've been working on published and I know you will."

It had come as a surprise to Kurt when Sebastian told him about the short stories he used to write. He'd found that and ideas for longer stories hidden in a box when they were moving into a newer and bigger apartment and Sebastian had admitted to his penchant for creative writing.

Still, no amount of pushing from Kurt had made Sebastian willing to let him read any of it and he still hadn't read even a line from the book he was working on.

"And I might actually get to read it, then," Kurt said.

"You will read it when it's done," Sebastian said.

Kurt nodded and smiled at him. It didn't really bother him, mostly because he could tell that Sebastian was happy that he was writing it. He was far happier than he'd ever been and Kurt was glad that Sebastian had realized his true calling.

"I can deal with that," Kurt said and he pulled Sebastian into a kiss.

A few months later…

Sebastian dropped into the seat across from Blaine at what still remained his favorite coffee shop.

"Sorry we're late," he said, "but someone had to sign every playbill waved under his nose."

Blaine laughed. "No problem. I know how that is."

Kurt slid into the chair next to Sebastian's and handed Sebastian his coffee. "Blaine, it's been way too long. What did you need to tell us?"

"Right to the point," Blaine said.

Sebastian took a sip of his coffee and listened just as eager as Kurt.

"Alright," Blaine said, "Jeremy and I are having a baby."

"You do know you're both men," Sebastian said.

Blaine laughed.

"Oh my god," Kurt said and Sebastian could tell that he was excited.

"We have a surrogate," Blaine said, "we talked about it a lot and it just, it seems like the right time and then his sister offered a while ago and now it's finally happening and she's a couple of months along. Anyway, we're finally telling people and Jer wanted to be here for this, but he said I could do it alone when he couldn't come. I just wanted to ask if you would be the baby's godparents."

Kurt let out a noise and then he nodded frantically before Sebastian could say anything.

"Yes," he said, "of course. Oh my god, Blaine, you're going to be a daddy!"

Kurt actually jumped out of his seat and he went to hug Blaine.

"Sebastian, isn't this exciting?" Kurt asked as he sat down again and he took Kurt's hand again, squeezing it.

Kurt smiled at him and then they turned back to Blaine.

"It was so hard to hide it," Blaine said, "I wanted to just tell everyone. Rachel is going to be so mad we didn't ask her."

Kurt rolled his eyes. "If she wants to have a baby that badly she should just have one of her own."

Kurt sipped at his coffee as Blaine laughed. Blaine's phone rang, then.

"Oh, it's Jer. I'll go take this."

After he'd stepped away, Kurt turned to look at Sebastian. "What is it?" he asked.

"What do you mean?" Sebastian asked.

The truth of it was that seeing Kurt so excited about Blaine having a baby had surprised him. What had surprised him more were the feelings of jealousy that it evoked. He'd stopped being jealous of Blaine years ago.

"Aren't you happy for Blaine? Or is that you don't want to be godfather to his baby because…"

"Can we talk about this later," Sebastian said, "and of course I'm happy for Blaine. And I don't care if we're the baby's godparents."

Kurt stared at him and Sebastian could just tell that he was trying to figure out what they would be discussing later. He smiled and kissed Kurt's cheek.

"Don't worry too much," Sebastian said.

He needed to figure out his feelings.

"Jer says hi," Blaine said, grinning wide, "and I actually have to go. He needs help with something."

Kurt and Sebastian stood up and Blaine hugged both of them before he left.

"So," Kurt said, "is now a good time to talk."

Sebastian sighed. He picked up his coffee and finished it before walking to the trash can and throwing the disposable cup away.

"Back at home?" He asked.

Kurt narrowed his eyes at him. "Bas, come on, what could have possibly come up in that head of yours that you can't tell me. You can tell me anything."

Sebastian grabbed Kurt's hand. "I can,'' he said, "when I know what I want to say."

Kurt nodded quickly. "Okay. I can deal with that," he said, "do you need to talk to Elliott about it? I know how you like getting his advice."

Sebastian rolled his eyes. "I might, yeah," he said.

Kurt laughed and he threw out his own cup of cold coffee and then he followed Sebastian outside.

"I'm trying to figure it out," Kurt said, "it couldn't have been Blaine because you've been over that for years and you weren't acting weird before then. Maybe someone texted or e-mailed you something. Is it your book? Is it getting published? Or maybe you changed your mind about that."

Sebastian who had been trying to figure out how to bring it up, or how to make sense of what he was feeling was about to tell him when a group of girls came up to them.

"Excuse me. But, you're Kurt Hummel," one of them said, "aren't you?"

New York was good in the way that it still offered anonymity to its stars. Kurt could walk the streets of New York, use the subway, and do all kinds of things without anyone blinking an eye. It happened rarely, but it was often on the nights after Kurt had already left the theater and the small gathering at the stage door that they sometimes ran into fans. The lingering people that had been at the show or that were seeing something else but were aware of Kurt's. It didn't hurt that they weren't too far from the theater.

"Yes," Kurt said.

"Can we get pictures?"

There was a small gathering of people, tourists that had seen them. So, Sebastian stepped back letting Kurt sign a few autographs and take pictures with them. It always made him feel proud to think of all the people that adored Kurt for who he was and for doing what he loved.

He pulled out his phone and called Elliott.

"Hello," Elliott said, "you're calling late, isn't this usually dinner time for you and Kurt."

"Sort of," Sebastian said, "but something happened."

He could tell that Elliott was rolling his eyes.

"With Kurt?" Elliott asked.

Sebastian let out a breath. "Sort of."

Kurt was still talking to the girls and a couple of guys had joined them. He smiled to himself.

"Um, Blaine might not be happy with me for telling you, but he and Jeremy are having a baby."

"And Kurt has the baby blues?" Elliott asked.

Sebastian sighed. That would have been easier to deal with.

"He was excited, sure," Sebastian said, "but it was the look on Blaine's face and just the mere idea of a baby. I don't know. Maybe I'm going crazy. Or I went soft. El, I don't like children. They're sticky and noisy and smelly and…"

"And you want one," Elliott said shocked, "oh my god, what happened to you?"

"Shut up," Sebastian said.

Hearing it out loud was strange and he didn't know what to do with it. Elliott was still laughing and Sebastian just had no idea how to handle the information that he was someone that had actually gotten a boyfriend, gotten married, and even wanted a baby.

"Elliott, what am I supposed to do?"

Elliott laughed and then, "talk to your husband, dummy, it's why you have one." Promptly he hung up and Sebastian sighed.

He caught Kurt's eye, and Kurt excused himself from his fans.

"Thank you so much," he said, "but I have to get going."

He slipped his arm around Sebastian's waist and leaned into him. "So," Kurt said, "what did Elliott say?"

"That I should talk to my husband," Sebastian said.

"Aha," Kurt said, "out with it."

Sebastian took a deep breath. "We talked about it once back before we even got married and I was so uninterested I guess and kind of shrugged it off because I figured that if it was something you wanted that you'd – I don't know – make a point of mentioning it. But you didn't and I never even thought about it but then Blaine and Jer and—"

"The baby," Kurt said and came to a stop, pulling Sebastian out of the way of other people and then he started to laugh like it was the funniest thing that he had ever heard and Sebastian considered walking away and leaving him where he was standing.

Instead, he pulled away from Kurt who shook his head at him. "No, Bas, no, come back. I'm not – I love you. I just, do you want kids?"

"Yes. Maybe. Hell, Kurt, I don't know. I just – you were happy hearing about Blaine and Jer's baby and then just Blaine's excitement. And suddenly I could picture it. You holding our baby, and just the amazing father that you would be."

Kurt wasn't laughing anymore. Instead, he stared at Sebastian and he smiled. "I can see you being an amazing dad," he said, "and I would never push you into doing anything you didn't want but if you wanted it, then, yeah, I mean why not."

He kissed Kurt in response and Kurt laughed against him.

Sebastian had never imagined that his life would ever turn into what it was just by making the choice to help an acquaintance and former enemy.

"I love you so much," Kurt said, "silly man that you are."

"Yeah, well," Sebastian said, "someone has to keep you on your toes."

Kurt nodded. "You do. Come on, we can start researching. And, by the way, I always knew you would want this someday from the moment I saw you holding Daniel Finn. I could picture it then, even if I tried not to. What's our life without some or another adventure to look forward to?"

He kissed Sebastian quickly and then wrapped his arm around his waist again and led him back in the direction of home and Sebastian couldn't feel happier.

Ending 1: Kurtbastian - Complete

Author's Note: We have reached the end. So I decided to write this chapter because I felt like I needed to show their future in a sense and the idea that Kurt would win a Tony intrigued me. I was very vague on what role he wins the Tony for because he would have needed to originate the part making it either a new original show or a revival of something and I couldn't come up with something brilliant enough. I was also very vague on how much time it's been because I lost track somewhere along the way, but it's maybe five years after their wedding.

On another note Blaine and Jeremy got married about a year or two after Kurt and Sebastian. I liked the idea of having them sort of introduce the idea of children to Kurt and Sebastian and I really did not plan for Sebastian to act the way he did. I do leave it off on a happy note but also open because their life isn't over, but their story is - this story is. I hope all of you enjoyed this. Thank you for reading it even if you're only waiting for the Klaine ending. You guys are the best. Thank you so much.
