being alive

Into the Woods | Kurtbastian

Sebastian hadn’t thought about the fact that other people might want to sneak out. They would have to do it the first night. ‘We have to do it, babe. It will be so fun. Like we’re fumbling teenagers again, only this time we’re engaged.’ Sebastian laughed to himself, thinking of times when sneaking out to have sex was a regular habit for him. He was so much happier being where he was right now than he was back then. He thought to the cool, serene water that would be surrounding the lakehouse and grinned. ‘I’ve always wanted to give a blow job in the water,’ he said, halfway inwardly. His grin was shadowed by the look behind his eyes. He was imagining it now, and he was pretty pumped for this vacation now.

Sebastian shook his head. Sebastian’s friends were all very uppity and well off. ‘Nope. You’re hanging with a bunch of spoiled rich kids for the weekend, love.’ Sebastian knew it was true. They were all trust fund kids, and that was one of the things that they bonded so well over. He grabbed their bags out of the back of the car and went up to the door to greet Tanner. He opened it and smiled. ‘Hey, dude!’ Sebastian gave him a handshake. ‘This is Kurt, my fiance.’ He still loved saying that.

Kurt couldn't help but be amused at Sebastian's enthusiasm, and he gave a small smile and a laugh of his own when he heard the other mention sneaking around like teenagers once again. He could tell that Sebastian was most likely excited about the little weekend vacation they were heading on, and that he was simply thinking of different things that could happen over the next few days. When Sebastian spoke again -- mostly thoughtfully, and to himself -- Kurt turned to look at him, noticing the expression across his face and giving a fond roll of his eyes and another smile in return.

As Sebastian replied to what he'd said, Kurt gave a small little nod to show that he had heard him. Although he had met a few of Sebastian's college friends before, Kurt didn't really know what to expect from the weekend away with Sebastian's newer friends. He knew that they'd all have something in common to bond over and talk about, what with the clubs they'd all met each other at over the summer, and Kurt just hoped that he'd be able to make interesting conversation also. He wasn't worrying too much about it all however, as Kurt was certain that with Sebastian there, it wouldn't be too difficult to discover people with similar interests to himself. By the time they'd made it where Sebastian's friend lived Sebastian was already knocking at the door, waiting for a second until Tanner opened it to them. Kurt gave a smile at first and just kept to the side as Sebastian said hello, choosing to wait politely until Sebastian introduced him to respond with his own greetings. "Hello," Kurt replied, moving slightly so that he could shake the hand of the other guy too. "It's great to finally meet you. Sebastian hasn't been able to stop talking about this trip all week he's been so excited."

Try hungover. Yes, it was a good party — even though I actually don’t know if I knew anyone who was there. I think he just called all of his actor friends and told them to bring as much money and as little inhibitions as possible.

It certainly sounds like a Cooper party from what I've heard you mention of them in the past. At least you had a good time, not to mention that it must have been rather exciting getting the chance to hang out with some of those actor friends of his. Did you spot anyone that made you particularly excited to see they'd made it to your party?

(PM) What would you say if I had presents from LA?

[Private]: I would be obliged to ask you if the present includes Chris Pine, by any chance.

… Does it?

Tomorrow I'm having lunch with Isabelle and a few other people in the offices;

Apparently it's to brainstorm together about one of the future spreads for the website, but I think it'll be fairly obvious that half way into the lunch it will be less focus on the work and more focus on current celebrity gossip going around (as well as the usual work gossip, of course). A colleague wasn't even aware that Beyonce had a new pixie hairstyle for herself! And I was so sure that sort of news would have been spreading around the office like wildfire.

Sebastian looked down at Kurt’s bags and then back up at him. He chuckled slightly and nodded, dropping the conversation. He didn’t think a real argument could sprout out of this, but then again, he didn’t really know if it could or not. ‘I brought all the protection. Bug spray, sunscreen, and our favorite kind of protection.’ Sebastian winked so Kurt would catch his drift, but he figured the other boy probably already had.

Sebastian watched the road carefully to make sure that the driver was going the right way, but he managed to be engaged with Kurt as well. It was a skill that all New Yorkers needed to be in tune with, given the fact that some cab drivers were pretty shady. Tanner would love Kurt, and so would his girlfriend, Penelope. They were both business majors, but Tanner’s sense of style was so good that he probably could have gone to fashion school if he wanted to. Tanner was the one that Sebastian thought might be gay out of the group, only to find out that he was not gay at all. ‘You can know the plan. We’re going to wait until everyone’s sleeping tonight. We have to do it tonight because everyone will be tired. We’re going to go out to the lake. We’re going to take off our clothes. And we’re gonna skinny dip.’ Sebastian thought it was a wonderful plan, and he smiled to himself as they arrived at Tanner’s.

As the taxi moved, Kurt listened to what it was that Sebastian was saying about the plan he had. Although the others attention was on where the driver was going, making sure that they were going in the right direction, Kurt knew Sebastian well enough to know that he was already probably smirking about the idea he had in his mind. Kurt had to admit however that it was a rather good plan. "Oh really?" Kurt asked, keeping his voice at the right volume so that Sebastian could hear him talking, but the driver couldn't. He couldn't help but smile himself at Sebastian's idea, squeezing the others hand once more as a sign to show that he had heard him, before looking over in his direction, noticing that Sebastian's attention was still on the window and the road outside. "I guess that you'll have to hope that none of your friends have the same idea as you then." He replied. "Otherwise they'll be a lot of people sneaking out thinking that everyone else is asleep."

It wasn't long until they arrived at where they had to be, and Kurt realised that he wasn't overly familiar of the street they were on. That was one of the the things about living in such a large and busy city; there were so many different streets to explore, and Kurt usually just kept to the ones he already knew. It was a rather nice neighbourhood though all the same, much nicer than some of the places he could recall spotting around when he used to live in Bushwick. When Sebastian and the driver moved to get out of the taxi Kurt did too, continuing to cast his eyes over the apartments around him. "I really shouldn't be surprised of how nice this neighbourhood is, should I?" Kurt asked with a tone of cheerful humour to his words, turning back to look at Sebastian. "Especially not since the majority of your college friends live in lovely apartments of their own too." He was waiting for when the taxi driver would be finished with their things, so that he could follow Sebastian to where it was that they had to be to meet his friend.

Sebastian looked at Kurt’s bag and back at his fiance’s face. ‘That’s quite a large bag for a two-night stay. Are you sure you’re not overpacking?’ Sebastian’s face broke in to a grin and he chuckled. ‘Wait, who am I kidding? I’m talking to Kurt Hummel. Of course he overpacked.’ He took Kurt’s bag and his own, always the gentleman, and headed towards the door. ‘Alright, Jett, we’ll see you in a few days.’ He set down the bags to pet his furry friend and then picked him back up. ‘Patrick’s gonna come over and let him out. Feel free to bite him.’ He laughed and walked out the door, locking it behind him.

‘Alright, come on. Let’s get a taxi.’ Sebastian hailed one and put their bags in the trunk, sliding in the backseat next to Kurt and telling the driver Tanner’s address. He was super excited for this weekend, and he reached over to grab Kurt’s hand and squeeze it. He looked over at him and grinned. ‘This weekend is gonna be awesome. We can sneak away at night and use the lake. I have a plan.’

"I like being prepared," Kurt replied, knowing that Sebastian was, as always, amused by his habits when it came to packing. "It might just be two nights, but you never know what you might need." He let Sebastian take the bag from him then, noticing him reach over to scoop Jett up quickly to say goodbye. Kurt moved over to them so that he could scratch behind the dogs ears, before following after Sebastian out of the apartment and down to the busy city street.

They eventually settled into their seats, and after Sebastian had given the address of where they were heading, the two of them enjoyed what was a short ride in the taxi. Kurt squeezed back on the hand that was holding his, turning his attention to Sebastian and responding to the others grin with his own warm smile. He knew it wouldn't be long until they arrived at his friends place, and from there they would make their way to the cottage that they would be staying at over the next few days, so Kurt found that the time alone together was relaxing, in a way. He knew Sebastian was excited, and that in turn made Kurt excited somewhat, and when Sebastian started talking about a plan he had about sneaking away during the night to visit a lake, Kurt couldn't help but give a small little chuckle. "A plan, huh?" Kurt asked, amusement laced into his words. "Am I allowed to know anything about this plan of yours then, or are you going to be secretive about it until later?"

Guess who had a hot date?

Not the same person but it’s whatever, right? I mean, I’ve never been the one to date so I just need to accept that again. It’s fine, dating different people for one night and then going to eat more than your body weight of chocolate - totally, just awesome.

Usually, eating your own bodyweight in food afterwards isn't a sign of things being fine. I mean, I know that relationships aren't everything and that there are plenty of other things that can help make a person happy if they don't want anything long term. And having those dates that last only one night are perfectly fine but -- they're not if they're not making you happy.

Guess who had a hot date?

That’s right, this hot mess right here. It won’t be going anywhere further but I had a hell of a time with her and yeah - you don’t need to know the details but I’m pretty sure you all know what happens when two hot messes get together. Wanky, Anywho, I hear there’s some crazy food festival happening somewhere in NYC today so I’ll be there - eating all the carbs and not giving a crap about it.

Is this the same person that you had one of those dates of yours with the other week, or someone completely different? Because last time, you don't sound very ... happy? I don't really know if that's the right word exactly. I'm just asking.

Sebastian hoped that Kurt and his new friends would get along; that was his main concern right now. However, he was also majorly concerned with the fact that all of their bags had to be lugged in to a taxi and driven over to Tanner’s, where him and Kurt would ride with them up to the cottage. It wasn’t a long drive, only about 2 hours, and Sebastian had some work that would keep him occupied until then.

Kurt entered the room and Sebastian smiled, leaning in for a quick kiss and appraising his boyfriend’s seemingly rustic attire. ‘You look hot,’ Sebastian said, smiling. ‘Alright, I won’t use too much. And if I do I will buy you a new one. That’s fine.’ Sebastian glanced at his phone. ‘Oh, nothing. We just have to be to Tanner’s in like a ten minutes, which is nice because his place is about a five minute taxi ride from here.’ Sebastian locked his phone and put it in his pocket, looking back up at Kurt. ‘Shall we go then? I’m rather excited for this.’

Kurt couldn't help the way that he smiled back brightly at Sebastian himself, finding the others smile contagious. He was about to reply before Sebastian continued speaking, and when Kurt realised what he was saying about buying more hair product he couldn't help but give a fond roll of his eyes, smile still on his face. He knew that it probably wouldn't come to that anyway; as much as he didn't like to admit it, Kurt did have a tendency to overpack. He liked to call it 'being prepared' however, since that sounded somewhat better to his ears.

"Ten minutes? Thank god we live in a city where taxis roam." Kurt asked, his tone laced somewhat with surprise. He knew they had to be making their way soon, but he hadn't thought it would be that soon. A part of him was thankful that he had thought ahead to do the majority of his packing beforehand, otherwise he suspected that there would have been a lot more rushing around that morning. As Sebastian checked his phone one more time, Kurt quickly gave one final check to make sure that his bag was alright, before hearing Sebastian speaking once more. "I think I'm all good to go, yeah." He replied, moving the bag to an upright position and dragging it behind him by the handle, before turning his attention back to Sebastian once more. Kurt knew that he was excited about his trip, and if he hadn't of known then the expression on Sebastian's face would have been a sure way to tell him anyway. "Lead the way then. You have a better idea of where it is that we have to be and by what time. I'll follow."

It’s just over a week now until I go back to Ohio to see my parents and then head off to L.A. to see my brother. It barely seems like any time at all has passed since I was complaining about having to sort all of this out — and now I’m actually looking forward to it.

So you actually managed to get the L.A. thing sorted out in the end? Last I heard, you were busy arguing with your brothers agent for some reason.

[Sebastian finished packing the last of his things and walked in to the living room with his bag in tow. He knew Kurt’s duffel would be much larger than his and probably packed to the brim with things that would much exceed the needs of this short trip. He stuffed his iPod and some condoms in to the front pouch of his bag and waited for Kurt to emerge, sitting down and checking his email. There had been countless updates on the state of this trip, and most of his friends were really excited about it. Sebastian was too. He loved having these new friends in addition to the ones he met at school. They were all mostly business or law majors, with the exception of Brian, who was a music major, and Henry, who was a biology major. Their wives or girlfriends, or in Henry’s case, boyfriend, were mostly also business woman, with a few differences thrown in to the mix. Sebastian didn’t think that him and Kurt would have any problem fitting in. They were a smart, likeable couple with plenty of interests that would be fun to talk about. Sebastian certainly wasn’t worried about Kurt. They wouldn’t be the only gay couple, which made his heart rest a little better. He knew his friends weren’t homophobes, but out of the 7 couples going, he was glad that him and Kurt wouldn’t be the only gay couple.] ‘Babe? Did you pack up your hair stuff? I might just end up borrowing yours.’

Kurt didn't really know much of what to expect from the weekend trip that Sebastian and himself were going to be heading out on. The last time he had ever been involved in anything relevant or even like a camping trip had been when he was a very young child, back during the days when it had just been Kurt and his father living together. Once a year, Burt would often dig out the camping equipment that he kept buried in the garage, and the two of them would set off for a few days during the summertime on what he'd often like to tell Kurt was a 'father and son adventure'. Kurt himself had never been particularly fond of the actual 'camping out in tents' side of things -- he quite often missed his warm, comfortable bed back at home -- but he did however enjoy the other little things that the trips came with, like catching butterflies in his hands whilst his father was busy doing something before letting them fly free again. It had always been nice to just talk during those times too, without having a television on in the background, or without any worry of school for Kurt or work for his father.

Although Kurt didn't know much more about the current trips plans other than from what he'd heard Sebastian tell him from the emails he'd been receiving, he knew enough to know it was going to be different from what he could remember from those trips when he was a child. For one, there was going to be a cottage that one of Sebastian's friends owned at the place they were going, so thankfully Kurt wouldn't have to worry about the actual 'camping' side of things, and instead he could focus on the more enjoyable side of it all instead. And there probably would be an array of different things around to do also. He also knew that a lot of the new friends Sebastian had been making over the summer vacation would be meeting up there too, so he was prepared for it to be more of a slightly large group event. Kurt didn't mind at all. He didn't really know any of the others if he was honest, and again he only knew from what he heard Sebastian mention about them.

He had eventually finished packing his own bag for the next few days away, quickly shoving the last few things he thought he'd need to bring with him when he heard Sebastian walk into the living room too. He gave a small glance in the others direction to see that he had his own bag with him and that he was quickly checking his laptop again before Kurt moved his attention back to close his own bag up. "Yes, I packed some," He replied after Sebastian had asked about his hair products. "There should be enough there for the next few days, maybe even some left over. As long as you don't do what you did the last time that you borrowed some and use more than you really need," Kurt paused to quickly finish closing his bag, before finally turning fully around with a small smile on his face. "What are you checking now?" He asked, curious to know if there was anymore news about things.

Yeah, it should be fun. There’s four or five other couples going, and one of them is another gay couple so I think we’ll fit in fine. Saturday, coming back Monday.
