There he was. Standing there, handsome as ever. The guy he always wondered about, even to this day. The guy who took his breath away in high school and managed to really leave him speechless. He had never once forgotten about the handsome Warbler with the mesmerizing green eyes that made his heart skip a beat every time they were on him. Those eyes, he felt like with just one look they knew his every thought, ever secret, every fear, every desire. Blaine was always certain he saw right through him. No, he never forgot about him.

His biggest 'what if'.

He didn't know how he felt when he saw him. A mixture of emotions hit him. Part of him was happy to see the other Warbler, really happy. But another part of him could only remember the slushie incident. It wasn't that he didn't forgive him for it. He did. He forgave him a long time ago. It wasn't so much the incident itself that he thought of, it was the fact that Sebastian never came to visit him. Not while he was in the hospital, not at home. Nothing. That was one thing that always stuck with Blaine and confused him and hurt so much it kind of made him bitter. He thought they were closer than that. He thought…well he didn't know what he thought. But apparently he had thought wrong and it was always something that still hurt. I mean, sure Sebastian apologized…but Blaine was already so hurt and mad that he just didn't really care at the time.

So he didn't exactly know how to feel, but when those green eyes found their way to him, his breath hitched a little and he almost dropped his coffee. "Sebastian.." He whispered.

Sebastian looked as surprised as Blaine did when he laid his eyes on the shorter boy, his heart beat picking up as well. Seeing the boy he had been in love with since high school standing right in front of him for the first time in years, having all of those feelings hit him again was not something he expected to happen this morning. Or ever, actually. Sure, he knew Blaine was in New York, but he never really figured they'd run into each other. Even though he really did want to. He wanted to talk to Blaine, to apologize again. Blaine had been the closest thing to a best friend Sebastian had and he really wanted to make things right. But he never really expected it to happen though, the city was such a huge place and he was too afraid to reach out to him.

He should have known, though. The one time he skips his usual coffee shop for one closer to work.

"Blaine, hi." Sebastian's voice was surprisingly soft, there was little of the Smythe cockiness behind it. Almost like he was nervous to see Blaine.

"Hi.." Blaine said, his voice monotone. He wanted to smile, but his old routine of covering up his feelings by acting not-so-thrilled to see Sebastian took over, so he didn't.

Sebastian picked up on Blaine's body language right away and he'd be lying if he said it didn't hurt. He never once stopped loving Blaine Anderson. He never would. He had been in love with him since the moment he laid eyes on the short, bow tie wearing boy. And he knew how bad he had messed up, and he wanted to fix it so much. He looked down at his coffee for a moment, nodding. "I guess I deserve that reaction." He said, a slight nervous chuckle to his voice.

Blaine looked at him, a wave of guilt washing over him. "I-I'm sorry."

"No, no it's okay." Sebastian shook his head. "I mean, it's to be expected…"

Looking at the taller man, Blaine's body language softened and he sigh. "No…It's…It's been so long, I shouldn't act like that. I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Sebastian shrugged, giving Blaine a small smile. "Well…it was nice running into you, Anderson.." He chickened out. Everything he had planned to say to Blaine when this moment came totally running and hiding.

"Yeah…you too." Blaine nodded, biting his lip gently as he contemplated what he should do. There was apparently a reason he had run into Sebastian today, could he really let him go with the chance of never running into him again? "Wait," He said just as Sebastian was turning to leave the small building.

"Hmm?"

He let out a nervous breath. "D-do…do you want to maybe have coffee with me? I-I mean, it has been a really long time and we…well…we were friends at one point, right? May..maybe we could just…I don't know…talk for a while?" He mentally kicked himself for still letting Sebastian fluster him. He wasn't even doing anything and Blaine was still flustered just by his presence.

Sebastian let out a soft chuckle as Blaine stumbled over his words, the small smile spreading across his face made Blaine's heart skip a beat. "I would love to have coffee with you, Blaine." He nodded.

"Good." Blaine couldn't help but smile back a Sebastian.

They shared a moment then, and Blaine couldn't quite put his finger on it, but something felt so…right.

….

"So, you're single?" Sebastian asked with a raised an eyebrow a little while later, after Blaine had mentioned having an awful relationship last year and how he's not been on a date since.

Blaine glanced up from his coffee at Sebastian, a flirtatious smile on his face. "Yeah, I am." His tone had promise in it.

"What about ladylips?"

"Nope. Kurt and I only just started talking again this past week. We're just friends, though. I think we're better as that." He nodded.

Sebastian raised his eyebrows, his signature smirk appearing on his face. "Well, I must say I'm disappointed, Anderson. You know I like a challenge." He leaned back in his chair, crossing his arms.

Blaine couldn't help but grin at him. "Who says I won't give you a challenge?" He flirted, raising an eyebrow.

Blaine couldn't help but flirt with Sebastian, it just came naturally. He didn't even realize he was doing it half of the time. But he literally couldn't help it, Sebastian made him feel so….he didn't even know. He just knew he had never felt it before.

Their flirty banter went on for quite a while until it occurred to Sebastian he hadn't yet done the one thing he needed to do.

"Blaine?"

"Hmm?" Blaine smiled as he looked up from his coffee, his smile falling a little when he noticed Sebastian's serious expression. "Something wrong?"

"There's, uh, something I've been wanting to say to you. For a really, really long time and I just…I need to say it."

"Okay..?"

He took a soft breath before looking at Blaine, catching his eyes. "I want to apologize to you. For…everything. For being such an asshole in high school…for the..incident. For everything." He shook his head. "You have to know how sorry I am about it all. It just kind of eats at me every day that I….that I hurt you." He said, his voice soft.

Blaine's forehead wrinkled a little as he listened. He could see the sincerity in Sebastian's eyes and hear it in his voice. It hurt him to see how clearly troubled he was about this. "Oh," He shook his head. "Sebastian…I…I forgave you a long time ago for that. I-I know you didn't mean to hurt me." He nodded, giving Sebastian a small smile.

"Are you sure?"

"Sebastian." Blaine smiled, reaching over the table and placing his hand on Sebastian's wrist. "I'm sure. You're forgiven. Don't worry."

Letting out a soft sigh, Sebastian smiled a little, trying to ignore the fire under his skin where Blaine's hand was laying. "Thank you.." He nodded. "That…that means so much to me."

Blaine smiled, nodding, patting Sebastian's wrist lightly. "No worries, Sebastian."

They spent the whole morning together, just talking, and it was so comfortable. Blaine had never felt uncomfortable with Sebastian, and this day was no exception. The way their conversation flowed, you would think that they had known each other forever. They talked about as much as they possibly could, and they could have stayed there longer until Blaine noticed the time.

"Oh crap, I'm so late for class." He said as he checked his phone. He looked at Sebastian, biting his lip gently. "I'm sorry.."

Sebastian shook his head, smiling softly, checking the time as well. "No, don't be. I was supposed to be at the office half an hour ago." He chuckled.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry for keeping you." Blaine said as he stood up, slipping his bag on his shoulder. "I hope you won't get in trouble."

"Please, Blaine." He chuckled again, standing up. "I'm Sebastian Smythe. The firm would be lost without me." He straightened out his blazer.

Grinning, Blaine rolled his eyes as they made their way to the door, stepping out on the sidewalk. "Of course, what was I thinking?"

Sebastian stood in front of Blaine, smirking a little at him. "Obviously you weren't."

Blaine smiled at him fondly, letting his eyes fall to Sebastian's tie, noticing it was a little crooked. He stepped closer to Sebastian, reaching up to straighten it.

Sebastian's breath hitched quietly when Blaine stepped closer, he watched Blaine's face as he fixed his tie, his heart beating hard in his chest.

After fixing Sebastian's tie teasingly slow, Blaine lifted his eyes to meet Sebastian's, biting his lip gently. "There you go, handsome." He whispered before he grinned, winking at him before he took a step back. "It was nice to see you, Sebastian Smythe. We'll do it again soon." He smiled one more flirty smile before turning and walking off towards the direction of his school.

Sebastian just stood there for a moment, his jaw dropped just a little, his mind hazy from being so close to Blaine. God he smelt good. But god, what a tease. A smirk spread across Sebastian's face as he watched Blaine walk away. He shook his head a little, chuckling softly. "I certainly hope so." He whispered before he turned to catch a cab.

And that's when it began.

Sebastian and Blaine became very close as the weeks passed. They didn't go a day without speaking to each other or the week without seeing each other multiple times. Blaine was just so drawn to Sebastian and Sebastian was so taken by Blaine that he'd make any excuse to see him. They had so much fun together, too. They would play together, tickle each other, tease each other, and boy would they fight with each other. They were truly best friends, though. And Blaine had a way of unknowingly teasing Sebastian in a way that drove Sebastian absolutely crazy.

Blaine couldn't have been happier, he really, really cared for Sebastian in a way he had never cared for anyone. And how fast they really got to know each other was amazing, they knew each other better than anyone. They told each other everything, they already knew so many of each other's quirks and habits. They could see right through each other. They were so connected. Except for one thing. Neither one of them could tell that the other was head over heels in love with them.
