(p.s. This chapter is called Candles after our beautiful Klaine duet, it's been like one of the most played songs on my iPod :D)
As Sebastian was driving Kurt was looking out of the window trying to figure out where they were going, they had gone out of town and had passed every place Kurt thought would be a good place for a date and now he was left with only confusion as they drove along a deserted road with only trees at either side.
"Um Sebastian," Kurt started, unsure. "Not that I think you're one of those guys, but why are we going the same route that a rapist may take?" Sebastian only chuckled in reply, glancing over at Kurt for a moment before turning his full attention back to the road, the last thing he wanted was to get into a car accident with Kurt in the car.
Sebastian smiled as he started to near his destination, he had spent hours thinking of the perfect place for a romantic date and it was when he went into his dad's study to fetch something and he saw a childhood photo on the desk that he finally thought of that one special place that he knew Kurt, a hopeless romantic, would love. Sebastian pulled into parking lot of Heritage Park and looked over at Kurt who at this point just looked bewildered.
"Sebastian, why did you drive me all the way to Westerville to take me to a park?" Kurt asked curiously, turning so he could look at Sebastian properly.
"You'll see." Sebastian replied, winking before climbing out of the car and walking around to open Kurt's door. "C'mon." Sebastian said, holding out his hand and comically waggling his fingers, indicating for Kurt to take it. Once Kurt took his hand Sebastian was leading him down a dimly lit path and towards some trees, he could feel Kurt tensing as they got closer so Sebastian gave his hand a reassuring squeeze before leading him through the trees and out to a clearing.
Sebastian let go of Kurt's hand and walked further into the clearing, it was then that he turned around and couldn't help but laugh at Kurt, whose jaw had actually dropped. The clearing they were on was actually a little rocky cliff that looked over a slow moving river, the area that they were in was surrounded by lit candles, giving the clearing a romantic glow, and in the middle sat a picnic blanket with a basket at one end.
Sebastian sat down and beckoned Kurt to join him. "So what do you think Gayface, does this still feel like a rape situation?" Sebastian asked with a chuckle, even though he was doing a good job at looking confident on the outside secretly Sebastian was freaking out, he really wanted Kurt to enjoy himself and enjoy his company, Sebastian only hoped that this could be the first date of many.
"Wow Meerkat I'm actually really impressed." Kurt replied; a grin plastered on his face. "No really, this is perfect. How did you even think of this?"
Sebastian gave a small smile as he looked out across the river. "My parents and I used to come to this park when I was a little kid, this used to be our little space where we'd come and have a family picnic. We used to come here every weekend and just have a good time, it was kind of like a tradition, but then work got in the way and we just…stopped. I miss it though, this place is really special to me and, well, I wanted to share it with you." He finished and looked down at his hands, he very rarely told people about his past and he didn't know what Kurt would make of this new information, to his surprise however Kurt took his hand.
"I know how important traditions are, my family always did Friday night dinners, just so there was a day when we could all be together and talk about anything and everything. When my mom died we almost stopped having them, they just reminded us about what we lost, but then we realized how important it was to have them. I was an idiot though; I started taking them for granted, but ever since my dad had his heart attack they've become one of the most important things in my life." Kurt finished, smiling at Sebastian.
Sebastian just looked back at Kurt, he hadn't realized all that Kurt and almost lost, yes his parents drove him up the wall sometimes but he could never imagine having to go through life without them. Sebastian snapped out of his reverie and smiled back at Kurt before reaching behind him and grabbing the picnic basket.
"Now when I asked about food you said you were easy-" Sebastian started before he was cut off.
"That's what she said." Kurt said quickly, smiling like a Cheshire cat.
"Really?" Sebastian asked with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" Kurt laughed. "That was an open opportunity, so I took it."
Sebastian laughed along with Kurt before continuing. "Anyway, I've packed some Sushi and some salad and some pasta, I genuinely couldn't think of anything else, so enjoy I guess."
The two enjoyed each other's company for the rest of the evening, laughing and telling each other stories, Kurt was in awe at Sebastian's descriptions of Paris, the city just seemed even more magical when Sebastian described some of the things he'd seen. However, soon it was time for them to go and they started heading back towards Sebastian's car.
"Wait, whose going to clear up all the candles?" Kurt asked, climbing into the car.
"Oh you don't need to worry about that; the other Warblers owe me a favour for the whole rigged auction thing, which reminds me actually, you still haven't told me why you bid on me." Sebastian replied, pulling out of the park and on to the road, heading in the direction of Kurt's home.
"I know." Kurt replied, smiling triumphantly out of the window. "You don't get to know unless I feel it necessary to tell you." Sebastian only groaned in reply. They traveled the rest of the way mostly singing along to the radio, both teenagers found themselves stopping occasionally just to hear the other one sing.
They pulled up to the Hummel-Hudson household and Sebastian walked Kurt to the door before stopping and turning to face the smaller teen. "I had a really great time Kurt, I don't normally trust people but I think I made the right decision in trusting you."
"I feel honored that you trusted me Seb, thanks for an amazing night." Kurt replied, smiling up at him.
Sebastian found his gaze shifting from Kurt's glasz eyes to his lips, he'd never felt this way about anyone before, he'd kissed plenty of guys before but just the thought of kissing Kurt seemed like magic to him. He slowly moved towards Kurt, eyes closing as he leaned down to kiss him, when he finally captured Kurt's lips he felt like fireworks were going off in his head, it was the most amazing feeling he'd ever experienced. Kurt was having a similar experience, there had been a time when he'd thought that he would never feel like this about another person, he'd loved Blaine and he'd felt fireworks when he'd kissed him, he remembered that feeling and it was similar to what he was feeling now. If it really was the same feeling that he had when he kissed Blaine then he knew one thing for certain, we was in love with Sebastian, someone that only a couple of months ago he had hated and would happily have punched in the face, granted he knew there would be times in the future when he'd still have that feeling but at this moment he just knew that he was in love with Sebastian and he wanted to be with him.
They were suddenly startled apart by Burt, who was knocking on the door from the inside. "Break it up you two, Kurt you may be in college but I'm not having any funny business on my porch."
Kurt started laughing before looking back up to Sebastian. "I think I may have made a good decision when I decided to bid on you, goodnight." Kurt gave Sebastian one last peck on the lips before going into the house and closing the door behind it.
"Goodnight." Sebastian said, before turning to his car and driving home, grinning like an idiot the entire way.
So there's the date. I really hope you liked it and it was worth the wait :)
Thanks for the patience and staying with me! I don't know when I'll be able to update next because I'm currently getting prepared for my second year of college! Btw I've passed my AS-Levels :D ready for my A2-Levels now! Bring it on college!
