Sebastian Smythe isn’t getting any sleep now that new transfer student Kurt Hummel is banging on his wall every night. One evening, Sebastian goes to Kurt’s room to find out why.

Sometimes Sebastian goes into Kurt's room late at night when Kurt is having a nightmare.

Sometimes Sebastian goes into Kurt's room late at night to dispel nightmares of his own.

Written as a follow up to Bad Dreams and A Compromised Position, the Dalton AU I wrote for the Kurtbastian Hiatus Project prompt skank AU. Features Dalton!Sebastian and Skank!Kurt.

Sebastian goes to Kurt's room in the middle of the night after he hears Kurt crying, and discovers something that their usual repertoire of snarky remarks and meaningless sex acts won't be able to fix.

Follows 'Mutually Amenable'

Warning for angst, grief and mourning, rutting, underage drinking, mention of past self-harm, and anger.

Kurt is unclear about Sebastian’s feelings for him, but a lame Home Ec project unexpectedly spurns an argument that brings deeper feelings to light.

"Kurt glances at his cell phone sitting on the sink, the time clearly displayed in white numbers against a black background. 5:51 a.m. In approximately thirty minutes, this bathroom will start to fill up with boys using the facilities, taking their morning showers, and brushing their teeth. But for now, the bathroom is his. Kurt has been there for the past hour and he hasn’t shown his face. Just ten more minutes left on his skin care routine, and Kurt will be home free. He’ll put his uniform on. He’ll eat his breakfast, and conquer math.

He won’t have encountered him at all.

He’ll have escaped. For the first time, he’ll get away clean."
