"Is that him? He IS cute!" Charlotte teased Sebastian, pointing at the impeccably dressed man approaching them on the street. Sebastian's face lit up. He put down the box he was carrying from the moving van and opened his arms to Kurt, hugging him close.

"Kurt!You finally made it!" he beamed.

Kurt smiled back, returning the hug.

"Sorry I'm late. It wasn't my fault. Rachel was hogging the bathroom. That's what I get for living with a diva," he joked.

Sebastian had been accepted into Columbia University to study law. It was three weeks before the start of the semester and Kurt had agreed to help Sebastian move into the second bedroom of his sister, Charlotte's Manhattan apartment. In exchange Sebastian had promised him dinner at a nice restaurant. It sounded like a date to Kurt.

Sebastian picked up the box he'd been carrying and introduced Charlotte to his friend. She hugged Kurt.

"I've heard sooo much about you Kurt and you're even more adorable than Sebby described." She grinned as both men blushed awkwardly.

"Charlie, just stop!" Sebastian sounded mortified. She laughed, took a lamp from the moving van and went inside.

"Grab a box, Hummel," Sebastian suggested, "and I'll show you around inside while we catch up."

Kurt nodded, picked up a box and followed Sebastian inside, maybe checking out his ass just a little as they climbed the stairs.

Charlotte's apartment was not what Kurt had expected. Knowing how wealthy the Smythes were he had pictured something grand and elegant with chandeliers, granite counter tops and marble bathrooms. This was just an average two bedroom apartment – clean, tidy, and tastefully decorated in soft pastel shades. It felt very cozy.

Kurt placed the box on Sebastian's bedroom floor. It was a nice room. Spacious - light and airy - with a large window that looked out onto the street. It had a large built in wardrobe that Kurt coveted on sight.

"This is great Bas. You're lucky to have family to stay with. I miss my dad when I'm here in New York."

Sebastian smiled softly.

"Charlie is great. She always covered for me when I got in trouble as a kid. She loves you, by the way."

"What's not to love?" Kurt smirked

"Mmmm" Sebastian sighed, wondering the same thing.

The men spent the afternoon with Charlotte moving and unpacking Sebastian's belongings, and by 4 p.m. his room looked like he'd always lived there. With all the hard work done, Charlotte showered and went to meet friends for a movie, leaving Kurt and Sebastian alone.

Sebastian turned to Kurt.

"Thanks so much for your help, Kurtie. I'm glad you're here." He kissed Kurt softly. Kurt smiled against his lips, returning the kiss before pulling away. They gazed at each other, smiling for the longest time.

"I believe I promised you dinner," Sebastian broke the silence.

"Ehh...I'm kinda tired from carting your stuff around all day, and I look frightful," Kurt complained, running his hands through his already tousled hair. "Can we maybe just order in and watch a movie? We can go out for dinner another night. You live here now. We can have dinner every night if we want to."

Sebastian nodded.

"Good idea. Wonder where Charlie keeps the take out menus?"

They found a few menus stuck to the fridge and Sebastian ordered them Thai food while Kurt picked out a Blu-ray.

"Charlotte has so many movies. How about The Great Gatsby? Leo is hot."

"Really, Kurt?" Sebastian mocked. "He's old, but I haven't seen it yet so sure."

Sebastian poured them drinks as Kurt put the movie on and they sat together on the couch. Sebastian wrapped his arms around Kurt and Kurt snuggled into him, holding his hands. It felt so good to be back in Sebastian's arms again that when the food finally arrived he didn't want to move.

Both exhausted from their busy day of moving boxes they ate in silence, watching their movie andsimply enjoying being in each other's company again. Once the food was gone they snuggled together, drawn to each other. Before the movie was over Kurt lay asleep in Sebastian's arms. Sebastian smiled as he carefully carried Kurt to bed and fell asleep holding him close.

Charlotte wasn't surprised to see Kurt in Sebastian's bed the next morning when she brought Sebastian in coffee. She was, however, surprised to see both men fully clothed. That had never happened before. Her brother must really like this one.

She was really pleased for Sebastian.

After the three of them had a quick breakfast, Kurt returned home to shower. He didn't want to be late for work at the diner. Sebastian had agreed to meet him there after work and Kurt spent his entire shiftdistracted and watching the clock.

"What's up with you today?" Rachel snapped at him when he ran into her spilling a coke all over her boots. "It's that snarky Warbler, isn't it? You stayed with him last night, didn't you? Please don't tell me you two are a thing now? Gross!"

Kurt looked at her offended but Santana responded on his behalf before he was able to.

"Stay out of it, Man Hands! If the meerkat makes Kurt happy, then it's not our business. Personally, I think they're hot together."

"Thanks Tana, but nothing is going on. We're just friends," Kurt sighed.

Rachel looked relieved but Santana scoffed.

"Sorry to tell you,LadyFace, but friends aren't co-dependent like you two are, they don't make heart eyes at each other the way you two do, and they don't make out the way you two do either. You two might not realize it yet but you're dating."

"We are not co-dependent!" Kurt protested, "and we don't make heart eyes."

Santana rolled her eyes

"Kurt? I saw you two at your show. Are you serious? You consult Sebastian about every decision you make and tell him everything you do. Everyone thought you and Blaine were tight, but that's nothing compared to you and your meerkat."

Kurt stared at her speechless. She was right.

"Have you told him yet?" Charlie asked her brother curiously.

"Told who? What?" Sebastian looked at her confused, pretending he didn't know what she was talking about.

"Kurt...I'm talking about Kurt. He's your boyfriend right? Even a blind man could see that you're crazy in love with him. Have you told him yet?"

Sebastian frowned and shook his head.

"Are you insane girl? In love? Don't be silly! Kurt and I are just friends. Nothing more!"

Charlie laughed in his face.

"You, my dear brother, are in denial. I saw your face when you first saw him yesterday. You lit up...and you were cuddling with him in your bed this morning without even getting laid first."

"That doesn't mean a thing!" Sebastian scoffed.

"Sebby, I know you."

Sebastian just shrugged and went to his room, shutting himself inside. Damn his sister for reading him so well. She was right.

Sebastian arrived at the diner just as Kurt was clocking out. Kurt stepped outside the door and greeted Sebastian with a warm kiss which was returned enthusiastically. As they pulled back they looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"I need to talk to you."

They laughed. They spoke together again, neither able to understand the other as they attempted to get out what they desperately needed to say.

Sebastian paused and Kurt spoke.

"You go first," he smiled nervously.

Sebastian took Kurt's hand, squeezing it softly as he looked down into the shorter men's eyes. Kurt held his breath expectantly.

"Kurtie?" Sebastian paused to gather his thoughts as Kurt nodded. "Somehow we've become friends, best friends and I think that's so amazing but..."

Kurt's face fell as Sebastian said 'but'. Nothing good ever came after 'but'. Kurt imagined in a split second all the heartbreaking things Sebastian might

say...but I'm straight, but I still prefer Blaine, but…but…but. Kurt felt sick.

"I love you!" he blurted out cutting Sebastian off. "Sebastian, I love you and I want to be your boyfriend and I want you to be mine so you can't be straight or like Blaine better 'cause I love you, dammit! I love you!"

Sebastian smiled wide, lifting Kurt off the ground in a huge hug and spinning him around. As he lowered him to the ground, he captured his lips in a hungry kiss that left them both breathless.

Sebastian laughed panting.

"I have no idea what half of that was about, Kurtie, but I love you, too, baby, and yes, I want to be boyfriends."

Kurt giggled and kissed his boyfriend lovingly.

"I'm glad. I love you, Bas.Now I believe you promised me dinner."

"And so the nagging begins," Sebastian teased.

Kurt slapped him gently on the arm. "Get used to it Smythe. You're dating a diva Babe. Im very high maintenance."

Sebastian looked at Kurt in mock horror.

"Is it too late for me to change my mind about this whole boyfriend thing?"

"Don't even think about it! You know you love me" Kurt pouted.

Sebastian nodded and laughed. He took Kurt's hand and led his boyfriend down the street to a nearby restaurant for a celebratory dinner.
