A big thank you to all of you who read or review ^^ I'm really glad you're enjoying this :) I know I am - I particularly enjoyed writing this chapter, and I am currently enjoying writing the next one.
P.s. I don't own Glee!
P.s.2: I didn't have time to go over the spelling/grammatical mistakes. Sorry u.u
Friday found Kurt still trying to overcome last Wednesday' hangover. Thursday had got him feeling so physically painful that when Friday came along and he was still alive, he felt incredibly grateful.
It'd been an emotionally intense week, but Kurt had never felt so victorious. Victorious, because he had found the guts to be open and honest with Blaine. Victorious, because Isabelle Wright had phoned him with some great news: there was a vacancy at Vogue, and she would love to have him back for the summer. Victorious, because he had phoned his dad to fill him in the Vogue news and Burt had reacted quite understanding – they'd schedule some visits on the weekends along the summer. But victorious, above all, because he had received two texts from Sebastian:
From Sebastian S. (4:08 p.m.): You're officially cool enough to be invited to my party tonight. +1 top
From Sebastian S. (4:11 p.m.): Relax, that was the standard text I sent everyone. You get to have a +2 ;)
Kurt read the texts and laughed. He didn't know when he had begun to find Sebastian's silliness funny, but now it made him smile every time.
To Sebastian S. (4:20 p.m.): I'll be lucky enough if I can find a single person who's up for that… :P
From Sebastian S. (4:22 p.m.): :(
From Sebastian S. (4:22 p.m.): Idiot
To Sebastian S. (4:24 p.m.): I was kidding meerkat! But now that I'm thinking it over… it actually might be hard to find someone :S
From Sebastian S. (4:25 p.m.): *SIGH repeatedly* Give me Berry's number
Oh, there's no need for that, Kurt thought nervously.
To Sebastian S. (4:26 p.m.): Kidding again. I'll be there dummy :)
From Sebastian S. (4:27 p.m.): I'm not. You need a +2 so Berry can get a safe lift home, gayface. I wouldn't trust my friends…
To Sebastian S. (4:29 p.m.): Oh, 'cause I'm a lady and I can't protect her from bad men – right. Very funny ¬¬ we'll get home just fine by ourselves, asshole
From Sebastian S. (4:31 p.m.): No, because you're sleeping over and she isn't, jerk
"Oh" Kurt made somewhat loudly, gaining a confused look from Rachel, who was cooking in the kitchen. "Party at Sebastian's tonight… you're invited" Kurt said while casting her an awkward smile.
To Sebastian S. (4:33 p.m.): Well, look at that, I'm the dummy after all… Okay, I'll bring a +2. Time?
"What?" Rachel asked reluctantly. Yep, that's gonna take some convincing… Kurt thought.
From Sebastian S. (4:35 p.m.): Don't worry, miss: I like them dummy ;) Around 8 would be nice. Wear the black, tight jeans.
Kurt giggled quietly. Rachel looked at him again.
"Yeah – um, Sebastian's throwing a party… and he'd like you to come" Kurt smiled again, even more awkwardly than before. Rachel snorted. "Oh, come on! We'll bring someone else, okay?" Kurt stood up and approached the kitchen table. "Please?" he pouted.
"Why? If we bring someone else just so I can be entertained, then why do I have to go in the first place?" she asked, more upset than confused.
Kurt contained a laughter. Yeah – Rachel might need an official invitation.
"Oh, no, no, no – that was just an idea. We should bring some more people, you know? It'll be fun: Manhattan" he made a dramatic gesture with his hands, to create the mood, "we should take advantage of that" he lied. "Look, he asked me for your phone number" Kurt searched that one text and showed it to her. "The 'sighs' are directed to me, ignore that" he added, realising that's how the text started. Ups.
Rachel narrowed her eyes at him. "Kurt, who would want to go to Sebastian's party?" she asked, honestly. And she had a point.
Kurt scratched his head. "Someone who… doesn't know him?" he chuckled.
From Sebastian S. (4:39 p.m.): I'm serious. I won't let you in unless you're wearing those ;)
Kurt giggled again.
"Oh, God - if that's what awaits me tonight..." she said, rolling her eyes at Kurt's stupidly cheery expression. "I'm not going" she said and went to her bedroom, raging.
To Sebastian S. (4:41 p.m.): Copy that. You might have to formally invite Rachel after all…

"I still don't know why I agreed to this" Rachel whispered with a harsh tone on Kurt's ear, making Kurt jumped.
"Well, maybe" he started, while they reached the drugstore where they had agreed to meet Sam, "and this is just a thought – but maybe you did want to go out tonight? To have some fun with me, your best friend? And… Sam?" Kurt suggested, casually.
Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Unbelievable" she snorted. "You know, Santana is not remotely subtle – I mean, she doesn't even try… but you're not better, Kurt" she accused him, looking everywhere around her to make sure that Sam hadn't arrived yet.
"Relax" Kurt chuckled, amused. "We're here early so I could ponder the perfect alcohol choice for tonight."
Rachel made a face. "Ugh, seriously?" she asked, perplexed. "I think I'm still recovering from the other night" she said, rubbing her belly. Then Kurt caught a glimpse of a tall, model-like guy entering the store.
"Hey" Sam greeted them, then observed Rachel's hand, on her belly. "You okay, Rach?" he asked, genuinely concerned.
Kurt couldn't help but aww him – not out loud, though.
"Yes" she said frantically, giving an unnatural Rachel Berry's grin. "I'm fine, I'm just… not ready to drink again. My stomach is still aching from the other night" she commented.
"Oh" Sam made, understanding. "Neither am I – I mean, I'll probably go with beer tonight, you know? Smooth" he explained, even making a hand gesture. Both Kurt and Rachel observed him mutely. "Yeah, so… I'll go grab them" he said, before going to the back of the store.
"Oh, wait" Kurt said while catching up with him. "I think I'll go with beer too" he said, satisfied. That was definitely a good choice. Not that Kurt was too worried, or nervous, about what he should bring, or how he should proceed once they reached Sebastian's. Nope.
"I'll wait for you outside" Rachel muttered, reluctantly.
On the way towards Sebastian's, Kurt couldn't help but observe his two friends. It was weird, because he had never deliberately paid attention to their reactions towards each other, but once he started, he couldn't stop. Suddenly, Kurt found himself wondering how he couldn't see this earlier. He knew Sam, and he knew Rachel separately, but the two of them together was simply quite different. Both acted shier, kinder even. Like they had no clue what they were doing around each other and had to extreme the caution, since they were not able to pull back either. Kurt could relate to that.
Sebastian's apartment was insanely crowded. Apparently it was some sort of farewell party, since most of the attendants were NYU students and had recently finished their exams, included Sebastian himself. How Sebastian had found the time to even study was quite the mystery to Kurt.
Speaking of whom, the host was MIA. There were people hanging out on the hallway, on the bathroom, the living room… and the door was wide open. Still no sign of Sebastian. They didn't know anyone, but no one seemed to notice – or maybe those college boys and girls were not in the mood to ask questions. Everybody looked quite tipsy.
Sam looked animated. "College party" he screamed, carrying his pack of beers inside the apartment. Kurt and Rachel followed him. The blond boy was the kind of person who could find his way around anywhere.
They took a residence in the kitchen, where apparently the talkative people were. Everyone just naturally included them in their group conversations, casting them curious looks when they said they were NYADA students.
"NYADA? What does that stand for?" a cheery red hair girl asked Kurt.
"Oh, it's the New York Academy of Dramatic Arts" Kurt recited, nervously. "We're majoring in musical theatre" he explained.
"Well, not me" Sam interfered. "I'm a model" he stated, grinning casually. Rachel casted him a small smile.
"Wow – that's so cool" the red hair said. "Hey, guys! These people are not pre-Med!" she screamed, and suddenly there were a bunch of widened eyes studying them.
Kurt giggled nervously. "What? Are you all guys pre-Med?" he asked tentatively, feeling suddenly out of place.
"Most of us, yeah" a tall, blond boy answered. His face looked familiar to Kurt, but he couldn't quite say why. "Hey, Kurt" the boy greeted him.
"Oh – hi" Kurt greeted him back, trying hard not to look surprised.
"You don't remember me, do you?" the boy chuckled, but he gave Kurt a kind smile, instead of a bitter one.
Kurt bit his lip. "You actually look familiar, but I- can't place you" Kurt told him, scratching his head. Rachel and Sam shared a suspicious look.
"I'm Andy – Sebastian's friend. We met at Loud 4, remember?" he said, moving to stand right beside Kurt.
"Oh" Kurt made, remembering. "Yeah, of course I remember you" he said nervously. Oh, boy. "Sorry – I was quite a mess that night" he apologised, embarrassed, his mind wandering back to the infamous night Blaine and he broke up. Kurt could remember with clarity not being his nicest to this particular boy.
"Don't mention it" Andy said, patting Kurt's back. And Kurt suddenly remembered how they met. Flirting, that was how.
Kurt giggled nervously again. "So you know Sebastian from class?" Kurt asked him, trying to make small conversation.
"Sort of" the blond guy smiled. And he had quite a beautiful smile. "We're also in Theatre Club together" he explained.
"Oh" Kurt made, sadly. "It's a pity that I missed your performance. I would've loved to see it" he said truly.
Andy smiled at him again. "Well, you'll be there next time, right?" he said. Boy, was he handsome.
Kurt smiled genuinely. "Sure. If Sebastian doesn't forget to mention it – that is" he chuckled.
"Give me your phone number and I'll keep you posted" Andy told him, taking out his cell phone.
That was fast, Kurt thought, then locked eyes with Rachel, who was raising an eyebrow at him. Kurt mimicked her gesture and shrugged. What? Could he not pick up random guys' numbers?
"Here" Andy said, passing Kurt his cell phone so Kurt could type in his number.
Kurt did it without as much as giving it a second thought. Giving his number was harmless. Plus, Andy would make sure he knew about Sebastian's upcoming performances. That was the real deal. "Hey, do you know where Sebastian is?" Kurt asked Andy. He'd been at his place for almost half an hour and still no sign of the boy.
"He took off to buy more booze" Andy commented. Kurt had to stop himself from wincing at the word 'booze'. He simply didn't like it. But he gave Andy a thankful smile anyway. "He should be here any moment. Or maybe he is already. Probably on the balcony – Seb doesn't like crowds" Andy told him. Kurt didn't know what he found more confusing: the piece of information, or the nickname.
"Then why does he throw a party?" Kurt couldn't help but asking.
Andy shrugged, giving Kurt a blissful, ignorant smile. The guy was sweet, but not the sharpest.
"O-kay" Kurt said slowly. "I'm gonna check the balcony then, see if I can find him" he informed Andy, who looked kind of disappointed. Like a kicked puppy. "These are my good friends Rachel and Sam" Kurt said while pointing at them. "Guys – this is Andy" he smiled awkwardly, then dismissed himself.
Thankfully, Kurt knew his way around Sebastian's too, so he was quite sure the balcony was the little terrace the boy had in his bedroom, and not the one on his living room. It was quite a rich boy's apartment, indeed.
As guessed, Sebastian stood there talking on the phone, with a sour expression.
"Tell him I did, okay? That's all he cares about, anyway" the boy said, with the harsh tone Kurt had not heard him use in a while.
Kurt startled, realising he was eavesdropping on Sebastian again. He turned around immediately and decided to wait outside the room. He rested his back on a living room wall.
Only two minutes later, Sebastian exited the room too. He didn't see Kurt and walked right by him, towards the main door, but Kurt caught his arm.
"Hey" he greeted Sebastian, cheerily. If he gave Sebastian a knowingly smile, the boy would think something was off.
Sebastian's serious expression turned somewhat livelier instantly. Kurt held his breath.
"Gayface" Sebastian said, placing his hands around Kurt's waist, and greeting Kurt with a bite on the nose.
Kurt's arms were immediately around Sebastian's shoulders. "It took me a while to find you" Kurt told him, chuckling. "Andy said you went outside" he commented, scratching Sebastian's arm.
"Wow, the guy doesn't miss a chance" Sebastian joked. "I was about to, but I had to take this- long story" Sebastian said, showing Kurt his phone, then dismissing the matter with a hand gesture. "So, you wanna come with me? We're running out of alcohol already" he said.
Kurt nodded and smiled. "Sure. Let me grab my coat – it's in the kitchen" he said, pointing towards the spot. There was a visibly difficult crowd blocking the entrance. Kurt rubbed his forehead.
"That looks easy" Sebastian commented, sarcastically. Then he grabbed Kurt's arm and took him to his room. Kurt followed him. "Here, you can borrow my jacket" Sebastian passed him a leather jacket, and Kurt observed it confused. It clearly didn't match his outfit.
Sebastian rolled his eyes. "It'll be five minutes, Kurt. Give it a rest" he complained, amused.
Kurt snorted, reluctantly. "Fine" he muttered. "The things you make me do, God" he sighed.
Sebastian grabbed Kurt's ass playfully. "Making you were these jeans was a fine request – admit it" he whispered on his ear.
Kurt smiled shyly. "It's not a request if you actually 'make me' wear them…" Kurt commented, biting his lip. They were alone in Sebastian's room, with the lights off, and Sebastian was giving him the predatory look. So Kurt needed to bite his lip, to find some restraint. Otherwise, he'd attack Sebastian's lips aggressively.
Sebastian came forwards and trapped him against the wall, both hands on Kurt's hips. "I could 'make you' do some other things if you keep questioning my commands." Kurt gulped and let go of his lower lip, needing his whole mouth now to gather some oxygen. His nose didn't seem to be enough entrance.
"I could comply" Kurt whispered, lost in Sebastian's fierce look. He raised his hands then to caress Sebastian's cheeks and show the boy some affection. Sebastian closed his eyes and leaned into the touch, relaxing. And once he relaxed, he looked tired. Kurt's heart melted a little at the view. Kurt couldn't help but kissing Sebastian's cheek, carefully. "You look tired, Bas" he commented, caressing the spot.
Sebastian opened his eyes, but the tired, honest look was still there. "Rough week" he admitted, staring right at Kurt. "But you're gonna heal me tonight, aren't you?" he gave Kurt a small smile.
Kurt's heart stuttered. He simply nodded, smiling back at the handsome boy in front of him.
"Good" Sebastian smiled calmly. It wasn't one of his brightest smiles, but it was equally alluring. He rested his forehead on Kurt's and closed his eyes again. Kurt stroke the back of Sebastian's head, barely making pressure. Suddenly everything around them felt incredibly intimate, even though they were at a party and aggressively flirting only three minutes ago.
Kurt felt Sebastian's breathing slowly gracing his own lips, and Sebastian's lips were so close that Kurt could already feel them, promising him a kiss. Kurt could not wait any longer and came slightly forward to kiss Sebastian. And their lips seemed to like each other, because once they met, they deepened the kiss almost immediately. Sebastian was kissing him willingly, fervently and it was contagious. Suddenly Sebastian's hands were all over Kurt's chest, stroking it – every touch gentler than the touch before.
Sebastian lowered down his mouth to place warm, vibrant kisses along Kurt's throat. Kurt felt a heat wave running all over his skin and guts, shaking him up. Then Sebastian's face reached Kurt's chest, where it rested to inhale, while his teeth nibbled the buttons of Kurt's shirt.
"Bas?" Kurt managed to ask, confused. They were not alone. Someone might come in any second, and they were supposed to go buy some 'booze', right? Though any of those thoughts seemed relevant enough once Kurt breathed out Sebastian's name.
Sebastian shushed him, his hands gently squeezing Kurt's torso with soft touches. He had undone the first three buttons of Kurt's shirt, and had his nose now hidden on Kurt's chest. Sebastian's lips found their residence somewhere in between Kurt's nipples, where they warmed up the skin with their lingering kisses.
It was a deep, intense kind of tenderness, and Kurt had never experienced it. It made him eager for more, and yet paralysed him.
Two more buttons got loose, and now Sebastian's mouth was reaching Kurt's abdomen. The boy applied just as much warmth as he had applied before. The continuous rubs of his hands on Kurt's torso put Kurt at ease, soothing him. The gesture told Kurt that everything was all right, and it made him feel like it was Sebastian the one who would be healing him tonight.
Kurt wasn't only turned on – mostly, he was feeling loved. But he forced himself to focus on the sensations rather than on his deductions. And the sensations were exhilarating enough.
Gradually, Sebastian's mouth found his way up to Kurt's lips again, where it rested for a few seconds. Kurt kissed him eagerly, trying to transmit Sebastian at least an inch of the gratitude he was feeling. Gratitude for how amazing Sebastian made him feel.
But Sebastian had other plans.
"Turn around" he demanded Kurt, his nose grazing Kurt's ear momentarily. Kurt trembled, taken aback, even though Sebastian's eyes looked not as hunger as other times before. Sebastian took in Kurt's anxiety and rubbed his hands along Kurt's arm, to sooth him.
"I'm not gonna enter you just yet, relax" he whispered, jokingly. Kurt let himself be calmed by the touch for a few seconds. Then he turned around, unable to pronounce a single word.
Sebastian lowered down Kurt's shirt over the shoulder, slowly uncovering Kurt's back and greeting the skin he found with constant kisses that drew a warm line, barely nibbling here and there. He thrust his hands under Kurt's arms, reaching out to feel Kurt's now naked chest. His fingers cautiously grabbed the skin they found there.
Kurt's breathing became more unsteady, but he managed to keep it together. Something about the slow, patient speed Sebastian was employing on his touches made Kurt feel somewhat in control, even though he was letting Sebastian dispose of him.
Kurt grabbed Sebastian's forearms, taking a hold on them – he needed to touch and feel the other boy too. But soon enough, Sebastian's right hand was feeling the way down Kurt's upper body, until it reached Kurt's bulge and started massaging the erection there. Kurt gasped now, startling, but Sebastian was quick to place a wet kiss on his cheek. His left hand, which remained on Kurt's chest, grabbed Kurt's hand tightly – his thumb drawing circles to ease Kurt. And Kurt let himself, again, be soothed by Sebastian.
He didn't really know why Sebastian made him this nervous. It was not like he had never had sex before, or foreplays. It was definitely something about this particular man, and the very particular intensity he put in every movement he made around Kurt.
Sebastian undid Kurt's belt and slipped his hand under Kurt's underwear, now making direct contact with Kurt's sensitive, intimate skin. Kurt moaned silently, and Sebastian rested his head on his shoulder, his unsteady breath covering Kurt's skin. Sebastian was moaning too, and soon enough his body was pressed against Kurt's. Kurt was fully able to feel Sebastian's erection against his ass cheek now. He gulped.
The movements of Sebastian's hand became faster and eager on his erection as they both felt more aroused. Then the boy started rubbing his own erection against Kurt's ass, raising the temperature of the whole room. Kurt could barely breathe.
Kurt knew he was about to come, and he felt the sudden urge to look at Sebastian. He grabbed the hand Sebastian had hidden under his underwear and removed it, turning around to face the boy and kiss him. He brought Sebastian closer and pressed himself against him now, working on the movement of his body against Sebastian's so they both could come together. Sebastian let him.
"I'm-" Kurt tried to talk but Sebastian's lips didn't let him, biting his lower lip hard to stop him. Kurt tried it again. He wanted to explain Sebastian why he had took off his hand: "I'm close" but that was the best he could manage. Kurt breathed out between kisses, his hands feeling Sebastian's skin under the black, fitted shirt the boy was wearing.
Sebastian nodded, knowingly. "Me too" he whispered. They stopped kissing then; their mouths simply took a hold on each other's skins; their movements more frantic and convulsive now as they reached the climax and released.
They both moaned quietly, letting go of the muscular tension. Kurt grabbed Sebastian's collar and started babbling: "That- was… that was- am-azing" he breathed out, tiredly. Every intimate encounter they had, felt even better than the time before. Kurt's whole body trembled at the mere thought of what it would feel like to finally go all the way with Sebastian.
Sebastian smiled against Kurt's neck, then bit it. "I needed it" the boy said with a hoarse voice. He dug out his head. "Shall we continue it later?" Sebastian asked, smirking widely.
"Sure" Kurt agreed, somewhat overwhelmed. He might need to gather some energy first, though. Kurt smiled timidly at Sebastian, whose eyes kept piercing Kurt's still uncovered chest. The boy returned the smile and started fixing Kurt's outfit, silently. Kurt observed him, always taken aback for Sebastian's continuous thoughtfulness. He was always so attentive…
Sebastian finished buttoning Kurt's shirt and squeezed his waist, in a 'done' kind of way. Kurt grabbed one of his hands, and looked right at him, trying to shake his shyness away. "Thank you" he whispered.
Sebastian studied Kurt's expression for a few seconds, looking amused and insecure at the same time. Then he casted Kurt a small, slightly surprised smile. "You're welcome" the boy said, as if he didn't really understand what Kurt was thanking him for. He squeezed Kurt's waist again.
/
Eventually, Rachel got tipsy too. Sam and she shared some beers and Kurt joined them when he came back from the street with Sebastian, bringing some more 'booze'.
At some point, everybody started doing tequila shots, and Kurt found himself with a shot on both hands. He raised his eyes to meet the mysterious guy who had put them there, and it turned out to be Andy, who showed Kurt a salt shaker and a plate with a sliced lemon.
Kurt giggled at this guy's determination. He took the salt shaker and covered his own hand with salt, then passed it over to Andy, who opened his mouth to protest. "Hey, that's not how it's done" the blond boy said, pointing to his own neck.
Kurt shook his head, amused. "Take it or leave it" Kurt offered him. Andy had to give in.
Once they were done with the two shots, Kurt felt two hands momentarily squeezing his chest from behind, then resting on his hips. "Those had to be the most boring shots ever, gayface" Sebastian mocked him.
Kurt slapped Sebastian's hands playfully. "Hu, I don't go licking random necks around, thank you" Kurt rolled his eyes.
Sebastian moved to stand right beside him. "It's a good thing then that you're already familiar with mine" he said out loud, gaining a very shocked look from Andy. Sam was mute, and Rachel just made a face. Sebastian smirked.
"Here" Sebastian said, gently grabbing Kurt's neck and tracing a long, thin line of salt along it. Before Kurt could react, Sebastian was licking that same line. "Mm" he made, suggestively, then drank the shot and put the lemon slice on Kurt's lips, to take it from him. "You know? This would be a lot more fun if you just cooperated a little" Sebastian said, pinching Kurt's chest somewhere dangerously close to his right nipple. The boy certainly knew his way around Kurt's body even when Kurt was fully dressed.
Kurt casted Sebastian an annoyed look for the little show-off he was giving his friends. But Sebastian ignored him and came forwards to capture the lemon slice, kissing Kurt a little longer than necessary in the process. Kurt pulled off, casting his friends an awkward look.
Sam shrugged. "It's okay, dude. Blaine told me" he said. Kurt froze. He had not told Sebastian just yet.
Sebastian raised an eyebrow at Kurt, but he didn't look upset. In fact, he looked simply surprised. Kurt casted him a shy, awkward smile. Thankfully, Sebastian let it be. Instead, the boy grabbed the salt shaker and stated: "We're making a round, and we're all participating, Berry" he winked at her. Rachel narrowed her eyes at him and opened her mouth to protest, but Sam was faster.
"Don't worry, Rach. We can take it together so you don't have to suffer other guy's drools" he assured her, sweetly. Rachel went mute and put her poker face on. Then she just nodded.
Kurt chuckled, amused. Then Sebastian caught his attention by offering his already salted neck. "Someone's a little eager" Kurt joked. Sebastian pulled him closer.
"Damn right I am" Sebastian whispered on his ear. Kurt shivered and went for Sebastian's neck, proceeding more discretely than Sebastian. He drank the shot and grabbed the lemon from Sebastian's lips, unintentionally biting his lower lip. Sebastian didn't complain, though.
Kurt observed then a very blushed Rachel letting Sam lick her neck. Sam wasn't exactly pale either.
"What's with those two?" Sebastian asked him, following Kurt's eyes.
Kurt gave him a small smile. "Nothing. Yet" he added. Sebastian smirked.
"Do they need a little push, too?" the boy asked cheekily. Yeah, definitely Sebastian and Santana were not that different.
Kurt nodded, amused.
"Second round!" Sebastian screamed, maliciously.
/
The rest of the night went by on a blur. Kurt remembered dancing with Rachel and Sam, dancing with Andy and making out with Sebastian every now and then. Kurt was trying to put the pieces of the night together when he found himself drinking water from a very large bottle. How that bottle had ended up on his hands, he wasn't quite sure.
Then Kurt remembered he was on the street, where he had been for almost half an hour. He had also a bitten taco on his lap. The mix of food and water was probably bringing back his awareness to a good shape.
He was sitting on a bench, and Rachel was resting her head on his shoulder. Sebastian and Sam were on his feet, eating and talking simultaneously. What an odd scene, Kurt thought, rubbing his eyes.
"Oh, yeah – he definitely wants to punch you" Sam commented casually, while taking another bite from his burger.
Sebastian chuckled. "Sounds like fun."
Something told Kurt that they were talking about Blaine, and his belly made an anxious twirl.
"And you're his best friend?" Sebastian asked Sam, who looked quite comfortable with the talk.
"Yeah" Sam replied enthusiastically. "I love him! He's like- the best friend I've ever had" he told Sebastian, grinning like a little kid.
Kurt's stomach felt even funnier.
"Okay" Sebastian said, chuckling. "Well, I think it's pretty cool that you can be here with us, and not punch me" he commented somewhat jokingly, but Kurt could tell Sebastian was being sincere.
Sam shrugged. "Kurt's my friend too" he said, then locked eyes with him and smiled. "We were brothers for a while, you know" Sam said then to Sebastian, who looked suddenly puzzled.
"For a while?" Sebastian asked, scratching his chin and casting Kurt an amused look.
Kurt chuckled. "Yeah, Sam came live with Finn and me for a while in my senior year. Long story" Kurt waved his hand to dismiss the subject. His brain felt somewhat tired.
"Cool" Sebastian told Sam, who kept waiting for some kind of congratulation.
"It was pretty cool, man" Sam agreed. "So I'm trying to be partial here, it's only fair" he explained casually.
"Impartial – I think it's the word you're looking for" Sebastian suggested, but he looked more amused than willing to mock Sam. Thankfully.
"You're sure, dude?" Sam asked Sebastian, confused. "I mean, that doesn't make any sense, right? If I'm taking both their sides, or parts, then how can I be 'impartial'?" Sam explained, and he seemed really curious about the matter.
Sebastian contained a chuckle, and just shrugged. "I know, right?" he said, casting Kurt a small smile.
Well, he can be nice when he wants to… Kurt thought, eyeing him suspiciously.
"Well, I'm really thankful for that either way, Sam" Kurt said, casting him a genuine smile.
Sam smiled back at him. "I've got your back, Kurt" he assured Kurt, and Kurt's stomach felt at ease again.
"Isn't Berry too quiet?" Sebastian asked then, trying to lock eyes with her.
But Rachel's eyes were closed. Kurt turned his head to see her placidly sleeping on his shoulder.
Sebastian made a ball with the wrap of his taco and threw it at her.
"Hey" Sam and Kurt made simultaneously. Sebastian rolled his eyes at them.
Rachel opened up her eyes slowly and looked around, zombie-like. "Is it morning already?" she asked, covering her eyes from the sun with her hand.
"Yep" Kurt nodded, knowing Rachel was as freaked out as he about not wearing sunblock.
"Oh, no" she gasped dramatically, fully awake already. "Okay, we need to get out of here" she told Kurt, then looked at Sam. "Was it that way?" she asked Sebastian while she pointed towards the left. Sebastian looked clueless. "Your apartment?" she explained, standing up.
"Emmh" Sebastian made, eyeing her somewhat annoyed. "Okay, guys" he smiled forcedly at Sam and her, "it's been lovely to see you, but if you excuse us now, I'd like to have some alone time with Hummel here" Kurt heard Sebastian say with a polite yet irritated tone. The 'lovely' gave it away.
Rachel's jaw fell open. "Kurt! My skin!" she said upset, narrowing her eyes at him. Kurt avoided her eyes, and thankfully Sam interfered.
"It's okay, Rach – let them have some intimacy" he told her, while grabbing her arm. "We'll take the subway, guys" Sam said out loud, waving them off. Rachel casted Sam a reproachful look, but waved Kurt and Sebastian off. Reluctantly.
Kurt observed them as they walked off. Then, he felt Sebastian moving beside him. The boy had been quick to sit beside Kurt on the bench.
"Hey, there" Sebastian grinned. How can he look so good after a party like that? Kurt thought, not exactly jealous, but pleased. After all, it was he the one who would spend 'the night' with Sebastian and enjoy the ridiculously good-looking boy.
"Hey" Kurt smiled back, yawning.
Sebastian rested his hand on Kurt's thigh. Kurt had gotten so used to that, that he didn't even notice it.
"You don't look too energetic, do you?" Sebastian commented, cheekily.
Kurt shot him an annoyed look. "What a subtle way to say that I look like shit" Kurt said, trying to keep his sense of humour.
Sebastian chuckled and squeezed his thigh, coming closer. "I'm not taking it back because that's not what I meant" he said playfully, grabbing now Kurt's knees to turn him around and face him. "Plus, I think you look kind of cute when you're all worried about the state of your hair" Sebastian said, amused, running a hand through Kurt's hair.
Kurt gave him a brief glare and shook his hand off. "Hey, don't make it worse!" he protested, feeling slightly childish. 'Slightly' was a reasonable measure, right? "Anyway, I don't think you really like them cute" he added, trying to dismiss the attention from his hair.
"Nope" Sebastian agreed, while he brought up his hand again to Kurt's hair; this time, to fix it. Kurt narrowed his eyes at him, although his mouth betrayed him and gave Sebastian a small, suspicious smile. "I normally don't" Sebastian added, and while it was a sweet thing to say, the smirk on his lips and his seductive, low voice made it quite suggestive.
Kurt felt aroused and screwed at the same time. Sebastian needed to stop saying things like that. He needed to, or Kurt would fall for him hopelessly. More than he had already fallen – that is.
They locked eyes and stared at each other silently, both sharing a knowingly smile. A smile that assured both of them that there'd be funny business somewhat soon. Kurt had to look away, aware that he was blushing. God, how did he even have the energy to keep blushing? He damned his alabaster skin.
"What I meant, if you're actually interested to know it" Sebastian said, capturing Kurt's jawline with his hand, "it's that you're tired, and that's okay" he added, giving Kurt one of those effortless-but-bright-like-the-sun smiles. "Because I'm not gonna enter you just yet" the boy said, clearly amused, repeating those same words Kurt had heard only a few hours ago.
That didn't help to ease Kurt's blush. In fact, it made it worse. He managed to give Sebastian a 'stop it' smile.
Sebastian kissed Kurt's cheek. "I'm kidding."
"Hilarious" Kurt replied sarcastically.
Sebastian ignored him. "So, here's the deal" he stated, cockily. "How about we come back to my apartment, I grant you some hours to sleep, and rest, and relax that gracious butt of yours" he explained, taking his time to articulate each single word. His voice was impossibly smoother. "… then you let me tie you to my bed and keep you there for the whole day?" he asked, smirking widely.
Kurt gulped, looking away momentarily just to put himself together. But Sebastian was not willing to give him a break, and he rapidly grabbed Kurt's cheek to make him look at him. "What do you say, Kurt?" he asked, with a calm, kind tone. Kurt looked at him, and there was a huge 'Got ya' written all over Sebastian's face. Did Kurt really have a choice? "Sounds like something you might want to do?" Sebastian continued, caressing Kurt's thigh.
Still, it was nice that the boy was kind enough to make it look like Kurt had some free will left, and was not entirely committed to Sebastian already.
Needless to say, Kurt wanted to.
"Ye-yeah. It does" Kurt stuttered, but forced himself to stare right at Sebastian's eyes and not feel intimidated by his straightforwardness. Sebastian's wildly confident manners were a huge turn-on, don't get me wrong, but it had the tendency to make Kurt feel oddly shy, and nervous.
Sebastian regarded him with curiosity, probably surprised by Kurt's honest answer. "Come here" the boy said then, giving Kurt a sweet, harmless smile. He grabbed Kurt's collar to bring him closer and kiss him.
Kurt smiled against Sebastian's lips, kissing the boy back eagerly.

If there was a time when Kurt had felt mentally capable of communicating Sebastian his doubts and fears about their 'relationship', Kurt could no longer remember how that felt.
He had no fears now. Nor did he have doubts. He was now crushing hard on Sebastian – and there was no stopping that. There was nothing else to doubt, nor to discuss. Kurt had the certainty. And it felt strong, burning in his chest, while Sebastian cuddled him now in bed.
He felt Sebastian's breathing falling over his shoulder, and it soothed him. It didn't matter if Sebastian did not feel the same. He hoped the boy had meant it when he told Kurt he would respect anything Kurt might feel. It was a sad consolation, but it was a consolation nevertheless. And Kurt would hold on to it. He would hold on to it until there was no more 'Sebastian and him'.
