Warning: The Kurbastian encounter takes a slightly more serious turn here. Explanatory notes at the bottom.

Chapter 5: Triggers and Tactics

Sebastian realized they were at a stalemate. He had Kurt's cock, but Kurt had his sphincter. And it felt fucking fantastic, but that wasn't the point. "If you aren't winning, you're losing" was among Sebastian's many cynical mottoes about life (sex included). Kurt wasn't going to say what Sebastian wanted, which meant he was losing. So he'd just change the objective and voila, problem solved!

He began stroking Kurt with long, firm pulls again. "Does Blaine touch you like this? Does he get you hard like this?"

Kurt bit his lip but it didn't stop the deep groan from escaping when Sebastian swiped his thumb over Kurt's slit and began spreading pre-cum all over the head. "Stop talking about Blaine," he growled. "In fact, just stop talking." The hand that wasn't on Sebastian's ass latched onto the back of the taller boy's neck and forced his lips down to Kurt's.

Mouths opened and tongues that had only recently become acquainted got very, very friendly indeed. Sebastian moaned in frustration as he bucked against Kurt's hand. Unable to get close enough, he let go of Kurt's prick and wrapped both arms around the McKinley boy, pressing their chests together at the same time he angled his head to deepen the kiss.

He's so smooth. The one thing Sebastian missed about fucking girls (which was sooo sophomore year) was how smooth their bodies were. Men had muscles, but they were hairy, too. But Kurt, Kurt was like the best of both worlds. His skin was soft, but with firmness underneath. And his lips – pink and plump and unbelievably soft. The more he touched and tasted, the more Sebastian felt like he was starving, physically starving for Kurt.

Now that Sebastian wasn't talking, Kurt tried to just revel in the sensations and forget about who exactly was causing him to feel them. He could feel the tension mounting low in his belly as Sebastian pressed their chests and groins tightly against each other. Yes, the body knows what it wants, and without realizing it, Kurt slowly backed Sebastian toward the bed. Sebastian pulled his mouth away and grunted in surprise when his knees hit the mattress and he fell backwards, pulling Kurt on top of him.

The spell was broken. Like a man being startled from sleep, Sebastian suddenly remembered whom he was with (his gay-faced rival) and why he was there (angry sex, seduction, betrayal – preferably in that order). He quickly rolled them so that Kurt was pinned under him.

The spell was broken for Kurt as well. Sebastian was on top of him, holding him down. Again a sense memory surfaced of hands holding his head in place while lips invaded, fingers pressing him against a locker and trailing slowly down his chest. Again panic hit and Kurt began to struggle, which caused Sebastian to reflexively tighten his grip.

"Get off me!" Kurt yelled, wishing he didn't sound as frightened as he felt.

"Easy! Calm down, princess."

"Don't call me that!" Kurt fumed as he continued to buck and writhe.

Sebastian grinned wickedly and licked his lips. Oh-ho! So the virgin likes it rough, huh? Well, that suits me just fine. Sebastian lowered himself fully onto Kurt, pushing the brunette's legs open and reconnecting their groins. He began licking and sucking on Kurt's ear, eagerly anticipating the high, breathy moans he'd get with that maneuver.

But Kurt didn't moan in pleasure. Instead he seemed to be starting to cry.

Sebastian propped himself up on his arms and stared down incredulously. "What the fuck, Kurt? I thought we were having fun."

"N-no," Kurt sobbed angrily. "This is not f-fun. This is not what I want!"

Confused, Sebastian immediately let go and sat back on his heels. Kurt scrambled off the bed and fumbled his shirt on. Sebastian just watched as Kurt steadied himself at the sink counter, taking in deep breaths. He stayed very still while Kurt gulped down a glass of tap water. Eventually, the countertenor carefully sat back down on the bed at the far end from Sebastian, and stared at the floor.

Neither boy said a word. This was the second time a show of superior physical strength had triggered Kurt's fight or flight instinct (which – to his credit – clearly tended towards fight), and several nasty speculations as to why were going through Sebastian's head. He knew that if he were a nicer person, someone who cared about other people's feelings and wanted friends, if he viewed Kurt as anything but a diversion or their time together as anything but a game, he would try to comfort the other boy. But Sebastian had decided early in his young life that people who needed other people to survive were chumps and rubes. He had worked hard to deliberately callous himself against becoming that type of person. The simple, ugly truth – the Tao of Sebastian Smythe - was that he did not want to know or care about Kurt Hummel, Human Being.

Still, he thought as he watched Kurt withdraw further into himself, perhaps he ought to strategically feign concern. For one thing, Sebastian clearly wasn't going to get off this afternoon otherwise. And actually, he decided, this was a good opportunity to segue from mortal enemy to frenemy, which was an essential step in the whole seduce-and-destroy-and-collect-Blaine-on-the-way-out-the-door plan.

He reached half-way across the bedspread, laying his hand near - but not on - Kurt's, and asked as sincerely as he could muster, "Do you want to talk about it?"

Additional A/N: I just want to clarify that I'm not suggesting Kurt in this story has been through anything outside what he's experienced in canon. But I think what happened in canon was pretty scary on its own. From my perspective, Kurt went through an extended period of being physically abused and threatened by a bunch of bigger, stronger guys - we're talking years, people. On top of that, he was stalked and sexually harassed for at least several weeks by one particular bigger and stronger guy. Then his drunk boyfriend tried to force him to be intimate in the back of a car. This combination of events left scars, and it seems reasonable that Kurt's old fears and upsets would surface in the current situation.
