Of Wine and Coffee- A Kurtbastian Glee fic

Chapter 28: Advice

~He wanted to make sure it was real, that it wasn’t just his imagination~

It had been three days since the whole fiasco.

Sebastian, being true to his words, did not want to talk about it and Kurt refrained himself from mentioning the topic. He had been dying to ask about Sebastian’s dream ever since that night when Sebastian had muttered his name in his sleep. But he knew Sebastian would not appreciate it, so he did not dare to bring up the subject.

So this dance had been going on for quite a while these past few days. They remained friendly towards each other but Kurt could sense the tension between them. He knew it was unintentional, just unavoidable. Sebastian could not look at him properly in the eye and this left Kurt feeling very frustrated. He sometimes blamed himself for ever kissing Sebastian in the first place. But a rational voice in his head insisted that his feelings for Sebastian would be clear on their own one way or another.

He was really in love with Sebastian. He never thought it was possible, but apparently it was. But it would seem that Sebastian had a hard time reciprocating those feelings.

“Are you okay, dude?” Finn asked one day during breakfast.

Kurt looked up and gave Finn a quizzical look. “Yeah. Why do you ask?”

“I don’t know. It’s just that you seem a little down lately,” Finn answered. “Sebastian is kinda off, too. Is there something going on between you two?”

Kurt sighed. “Not really. I mean, I don’t know,” He ran a hand through his hair. “Things are kinda complicated right now. I don’t really know what to do,”

“Did you two fight or something?”

“Not exactly. We just had a…misunderstanding,” Kurt smiled ruefully. “We’re trying to forget it ever happened, that’s all,”

Finn looked thoughtful for a moment before nodding. “Yeah…sometimes running away is better. I mean, it doesn’t always mean being a coward, right? Sometimes, running away can lead to some sort of victory,”

Kurt blinked. “Wow, Finn. That’s…wow,”

Finn grinned. “I know. I read it some time ago in History class when they were discussing about wars and stuff. It’s really fascinating at time,”

Kurt merely smiled before continuing to eat his pancake. Sebastian could be seen padding into the kitchen, still looking half-asleep. His hair was sticking in many directions and he was still in his dark green pajamas. He mumbled a good morning before opening the fridge and took out a carton of milk.

“Slept in?” Finn asked casually.

“Mmm…” Sebastian answered noncommittally. He began drinking the milk directly from the carton and Kurt could not help but to click his tongue disapprovingly. Honestly, was it so hard to drink something from a glass? Apparently, to the guys in this house aside from him, it was.

“Kurt made blueberry pancakes. It’s awesome. You should try it.”

Kurt preened at his step-brother’s compliment. He moved his chair slightly to the side so Sebastian would have room to sit beside him. Sebastian blinked owlishly as he stared at the food served in front of him before he began to eat them in a dazed state. The sight of it was so adorable that it made Kurt’s heart ache. If things were not so complicated between them right now, he would have teased Sebastian about it by now. So instead, he settled himself by watching him eat through the corners of his eyes, holding back a smile.

Finn checked his watch. “Shoot, I have to go. I promised Sam I’d meet up with him today,” He rose from his seat and ruffled Kurt’s hair despite the boy’s protests and patted Sebastian lightly on the shoulder before bolting out the door, not bothering to clear up his plate before. Kurt grumbled to himself and decided to finish his own breakfast before doing the dishes. Beside him, Sebastian ate his breakfast without saying a word.
