A/N Ok so this is my first attempt at writing a fanfic so be kind in your criticism! Just a bit of Sethummer fluff to get you through the day. I was inspired by a dream I had and I thought I would try to turn it into a story. It takes place at the start of season 2 around episode 8 or thereabout and there is no Anna!

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

It was Friday night and the fantastic four were in the Cohen living room playing some playstation. It had become routine since Ryan and Marissa started dating for the four of them to hang out. Ryan and Marissa had become attached at the hip so if Seth wanted to spend time with his dear old buddy that meant spending time with Marissa, but he didn't mind hanging with Ryrissa as it brought along the added bonus of Summer Roberts -the woman of his dreams! Summer was in the same predicament as Seth if she wanted to see her best friend it meant hanging with Ryrissa.

Summer complained most of the time that she was left being the third wheel with Cohen all the time but deep down underneath she was kinda glad. As much as she hated to admit it he wasn't that bad a guy after all and he was really starting to grow on her. He of course could never find that out just imagine what that would do to her reputation.

After half an hour of watching Ryrissa making out and acting all lovey dovey Seth and Summer got really bored.

Seth couldn't stand it anymore "who wants to go to the pier and get some Pizza?"

"Sounds good" replied Summer.

There was no reply from the two lovebirds their mouths were… occupied!!

"Well it looks like it's just me and you Summer"

"Don't go getting any ideas Cohen I am only coming because I am starving"

"Yes I can see how sitting on a couch all evening eating cookies and doing nothing can make you hungry"

She could sense the sarcasm in his voice "Just shut up and get your ass in the car"

"Anything for you my little Summerwummer"

"Ew, don't ever call me that again"

"Anything for my little pumpkin pie"

"Ugh"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Down on the pier the two finished their slices simultaneously and threw their papers in the nearby trashcan.

"So what do you want to now? I couldn't face going back to watching another Ryrissa makeout session" Seth turned to Summer to wait for her reply.

"I know those two make me want to vomit"

"Well howbout we take a nice romantic walk on the beach?"

"Walk I can do but you can forget about the romantic bit Cohen we are trying to get away from all that remember"

"Right my bad now lets go on that strictly non romantic stroll"

Summer rolled her eyes and followed Seth down to the beach. Summer actually enjoyed these times she had alone with Seth she was beginning to see a really cute side to him. Sure he was annoying sometimes with all his sarcasm but he was definitely not the total geek she once thought he was. She was really glad that Ryan came along so she could have the chance to get to know him a bit better. She was starting to really like everything about him she even loved bickering with him 'cause in some strange way she was kinda turned on by it! She mentally slapped herself for thinking these thoughts and ran a little to catch up to Seth.

The whole time on the beach with Summer Seth was silently thanking Jesus and Moses for finally letting his dream start to come true not only did Summer know his name she was also hanging with him by her own choice.

Suddenly their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a gunshot. BANG! Summer leapt in to Seth's arms and threw her legs around his waist straddling him. A few hundred meters down the beach under the Pier there was some kind of disturbance and Seth did not care to go find out what the cause of it was so without thinking twice and with summer still clinging on to him he began to run back to the parking lot where the car was parked. He did not want to stick around to be a witness for the cops unlike Ryan he liked his seemingly drama free life.

When they arrived at the parking lot both out of breath they were met by cop cars and ambulances. Seth had only managed to carry Summer a few feet before his arms gave way. After all he was lacking in upper body strength another differing trait from Ryan. They made their way to the Range Rover and once safely inside tears began to stream down Summer's face.

Seth reached is arm over and stroked her back " Hey sum are you ok?"

He got no reply.

"Come on don't cry we're alright there is nothing to worry about. I understand if you got a fright I did too, but its ok we are safe. Please stop the tears I can't stand to see you hurting"

With that she turned to Seth put her arms around him and buried her head in his shoulder. They stayed like that for a few minutes with Seth stroking her long dark hair. She started mumbling something into his shoulder. He couldn't make out everything she said but he got something about a dead uncle being shot at a beach party when she was a child or something. He figured that what just happened had brought back some bad memories.

When the tears started to cool off she gently pulled away from Seth and smiled.

"Thanks for the hug I needed that".

Seth smiled back "your welcome my arms are at your disposal anytime you need them".

"I will remember that for when I need some heavy lifting done"

"Well I meant anytime you need a hug I am not so good with the schlepping of heavy things"

Summer let out a small smile. "Hey Seth, would you mind taking me home I think I have had enough drama for one night"

"Sure thing" and with that he started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Seth drove Summer back to her house and they were now standing outside her front door.

"Thanks Seth for everything you were really brave tonight carrying me back to the car like my own personal superhero"

Seth blushed a little "Well for you Summer anytime you know that right, that I would do anything to protect you"

Now it was time for Summer to do the blushing she believed every word he said recently he was always there for her with his protective arm around her when she needed it most, in Tijuana with the whole overdose debacle and when that Donnie guy came to the party with the gun and shot Luke. "That's really sweet Cohen I didn't know you had it in you!"

"Well what can I say I am a man of many talents! Well I better start heading home. Night Summer"

With that he bent down and kissed her cheek.

"You missed"

"What"

"My lips dumbass!!" and with that she pulled Seth into her, reached on her tippy toes and gave Seth the most passionate kiss she could muster up.

When they finally had to pull away for air Seth was left speechless. What had happened here? He thought to himself. Did Summer Roberts the girl of his dreams just kiss him for the second time? He couldn't comprehend what had just happened but he certainly wasn't complaining. Seth was interrupted from his thoughts by Summer asking him a question.

"So Seth would you maybe wanna watch a DVD with me its still early" She was acting as nothing had happened except for the slight blushing on her cheeks. She was thankful that she finally had the courage to kiss him after secretly wanting to since they shared their first kiss by the pool at his Granddads birthday a few weeks earlier.

"Um, sure why not the night is still young, but on one condition. I get to pick the movie!" He gave her a small grin showing his totally cute and irresistible dimples.

"No chance bucko. My house, my choice" She flashed him a quick grin and guided him through the house up to her room.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth was a little surprised that she had taken him to her room but who was he to question her motives? He certainly wasn't complaining.

"So what are we watching then Summer?"

"I was thinking maybe 'The Notebook'"

"I haven't heard of that, what's it about?"

Summer gave a slight cheeky smile "Its kind of a psychological thriller, you'll like it I promise"

"Good I though you were going to pick some soppy chick flick"

Summer had to feign a cough to cover her slight laughter before jumping on to her luxurious pink bed with the remotes in hand.

Seth went to sit on what looked like a pretty uncomfortable chair, before Summer stopped him.

"Come sit on the bed Seth. I promise I won't bite and besides you will need the pillows to hide behind when you get scared". She gave another little cough.

Seth went and sat on the bed and tried to make himself comfortable. He was a bit confused as to how he ended up in Summer Roberts bedroom and he had to pinch himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Ten minutes into the movie Seth turned to Summer. "This isn't a thriller is it? It's a soppy chick flick"

Summer smiled " I thought you wouldn't watch it if you knew what it was about but just give it a chance its really good I promise"

Seth gave a dramatic sigh to emphasise his displeasure in her choice of movie but to be honest he wouldn't have cared if she had wanted to watch a cardboard box. He was lying on a bed next to summer what more could he ask for? (Well besides lying in bed next to summer, but maybe that would be pushing it a bit – For now at least)

As the movie went on Summer began to gravitate towards Seth and by the end just as Noah and Ally were sharing their last moments together Summer was snuggled up against Seth with a few tears running down her cheek. Seth was also shedding a tear or two.

"Is that a tear I see" Summer asked as the credits began to roll.

"I have allergies"

"Whatever you say but you have to admit it's a sad movie"

"That it is…." Seth was interrupted by the loud ring of Summer's phone. She reached across him to her nightstand and answered the phone while still lying across Seth's chest. He could really get used to this he thought to himself.

"Hey Daddy…ok….no don't worry I'll be fine…I understand…bye Daddy…love you too. Night"

"That was my dad..."

"I got that" Seth interrupted

Summer glared at him and continued "Well he got held up at something in San Diego and he wont be able make it home tonight"

"Um ok" Seth replied unsure of what this had to do with him.

"I was wondering if… maybeyoucouldspendthenightwithmehere" She blurted out.

"Sorry didn't really catch that"

"Well Gloria is at some spa or health place and Marissa is probably with Ryan and I don't really like staying in the house on my own so if you wouldn't mind could you maybe stay here with me?"

"Uh, Sure, no problem"

"Thanks Cohen"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

A half an hour later Summer was standing in her en-suite brushing her teeth. What was she thinking? Did she just invite Seth Cohen to spend the night? She couldn't believe what she was thinking. Two months ago she could not have told you who Seth Cohen was even if you offered her a lifetime supply of Chanel Purses, and now here she was spending a great night with him just chilling out. Usually it took a raging Newport party with people who didn't know the real her or people she didn't care about to make a great night.

She thought to herself if that was really who she was. Was she destined to be another shallow newpsie party girl concerned only with appearance or could Seth be her escape, a chance for her to be herself.

Summer had enjoyed the earlier kiss so much that she would go as far as saying that it was the best kiss she ever had even though Seth was hardly experienced in that field! She wanted to go in to the bedroom throw him down on the bed and devour him, but she couldn't.

Or could she?

Was she ready to risk her reputation for Seth Cohen (who she was beginning to think was the sweetest most caring guy she had ever met)?

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth was standing awkwardly in the middle of Summer's room unsure of what to do with himself. I still could not believe what was happening. This was the kind of thing he has fantasised about since he first laid eyes on her and now that the moment had finally come he had no idea how to act.

Summer finally returned from the bathroom. All of her make-up had been removed and her hair tied up in a messy bun. Seth thought to himself that he had never seen her look as beautiful.

"Where should I sleep do you want me to take the couch downstairs or…?

Summer interrupted him "No, its fine you can just sleep in here I am too lazy to get you sheets and stuff"

Summer lied she wasn't too lazy she just wanted to be in the same room as Seth. God what was she thinking she had no idea what was coming over her

"Okay, I guess I can sleep on that chair it actually looks quite comfy"

"Don't be stupid my bed is more than big enough for both of us"

Seth choked a little when she told him she wanted to share a bed with him the last time they were in this kind of situation in TJ she only slept on the bed because she didn't want to get a nasty rash off the pull out Sofa, now she was asking him to share a bed when she could have sent him to anyone of the many quest rooms.

Summer noticed Seth's hesitation "It's ok Cohen I don't bite! Now go get changed"

"Uh Summer, I don't have anything to change in too I wasn't really expecting you to ask me to sleep over"

"Take off your pants"

"Excuse me?" Seth was a little shocked at her demand.

"You have boxers on right? Just sleep in them"

"Well ok if you think you can resist me in just my boxers" Seth nervously but cheekily replied

Summer laughed a little at his comment "I am sure I can control my self"

Well at least she hoped she could at this moment she couldn't promise anything.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Seth returned from the bathroom wearing nothing but his Spiderman boxers.

"Nice shorts Cohen!!"

"Thanks I uh wasn't planning on anyone seeing them"

"Well I think they are cute now get into the bed before you freeze your ass off"

Seth walked over to the bed that Summer was occupying and slid in under the covers. He was careful to keep his distance even though he wanted nothing more than to role on top of her and have a repeat performance of the earlier kiss. He had no idea that Summer was feeling exactly the same way.

"So do you wanna just go to sleep?" Seth decided to break the awkward silence.

"I am not really tired do you will you talk with me for a little while?"

"Sure, what do you wanna talk about? And please do not say the Valley and Shoes!!"

Summer gave him a slight whack on his chest "Hey I can talk about more than teen dramas and fashion! I want to talk about Seth Cohen"

"Why do you want to talk about me?"

"I want to get to know you. I mean I know that you like comic books and mumbling but I want to know like who you are. How come I never noticed you before the end of the summer?"

"Am …I don't know because nobody ever noticed me, before Ryan came along I was always just a 'bobble headed geek who listens to Emo'. Can we like not talk about this. I don't like to think about it"

Summer watched as Seth's face dropped. She felt bad how could she have been so mean to him. Well technically she wasn't being mean if she had no idea who he was, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't have made the effort to get to know him before now. Summer did the only thing she could think of to try and make Seth feel even a small bit better. She reached over to him grabbed his face and kissed the hell out of him.

After the initial shock of Summers surprise movement Seth began to kiss her back. The kiss was slow and passionate but also a little needy. Seth wanted to show Summer how much he cared about he and let her know that she did not have to pretend she was someone else when she was in public. Seth knew that deep down she was a beautiful person and he needed to show her it was alright to be herself.

Summer was a little shocked at her own actions but she was totally not regretting them. It was a big decision to kiss Seth. She knew that Seth was different from all the other guys she hooked up with. They were just for fun but she could feel that this was going to be different not just a random hook up, but the beginning of something special.

After a few minutes of making out hands began to wander as they became more comfortable with the kiss. Seth surprised Summer by rolling her over and lying on top of her. She was surprised by his confidence and enjoyed letting him take control. It felt right to have his bare chest on top of hers. She felt safe she had never felt like this before.

Before things got too far Summer pulled away. "We need to stop I cant do this"

Seth's face fell and she could see the disappointment in his eyes. It almost broke her heart so she quickly tried to explain herself.

"I mean I want this. You and me…" she said gesturing between herself and him "but I think we are starting something big here and I just don't want to rush it you know? This is already happening really quickly"

She searched his eyes for some confirmation that he knew what she was talking about. She got her confirmation when he gave her the most adorable grins she had ever seen in her life. He nodded "yeah, I get it"

"I …I think we should take things one step at a time"

"We can take things what ever way you want Summer. As long as I am even in the same room as you I am happy"

She loved the way he was so understanding he was not like the other guys who just wanted to get in her pants so they would say what she wanted to hear. He was saying it because he meant it.

"You are truly adorable Cohen" she flashed him a cheesy grin even though she was scaring herself a bit things really were moving quickly.

"And you Roberts are truly beautiful" Summer blushed she could not believe how cute he was being she reached up and gave him a slow kiss to thank him.

"So how bout we try that sleeping thing now. All that 'talking' has made me sleepy"

Seth rolled off Summer back to his own side of the bed and reached over to shut of the bedside lamp. Before he knew it Summer snuggled up against him put a hand across his waist and rested her head on his chest. Seth put his arm around her and rested his head on to of hers.

"Goodnight Summer"

"Night Cohen"

At the back of her mind Summer was thinking about what was gonna happen come Monday. Was she going to revert back to old bitchy Summer or be the new and improved Summer with Seth? She tried not to think about that because the moment was too perfect to be ruined by thoughts of reputation and popularity.

Seth drifted into a sweet slumber with his arms encasing Summer, thinking about how perfect his life was now that Summer was part of it. He never wanted to let her go.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Summer woke at about 11am after one of the best nights sleeps she had ever had full of sweet dreams. When she felt Seth's arms around her the memories of last night came flooding back to her. A huge smile appeared on her face. She looked up at Seth who also had a huge grin on his face. She didn't think it was possible to sleep and smile at the same time but she was glad it was 'cause he looked cuter than ever. She wished she could spend the rest of her life in this moment well the rest of the day at least.

After about 15mins of watching Seth sleep and feeling his chest rise and fall beneath her, her stomach started to grumble telling her she was hungry. She decided that she would go and cook Seth and herself some Pancakes and Bacon. Before she could get off the bed she felt an arm grab her wrist. She turned round to see a now awake Seth beaming back at her.

"Good morning sleepyhead"

"Morning Sunshine" Seth replied and pulled her down to him to greet her properly with a kiss. Summer smiled and began to get up again.

"Where do you think your going" Seth tried to pull her in for another kiss but Summer pulled away. He was afraid that she was having regrets about what had happened last night but he tried to act normally until she gave him reason to be really scared. Now that he knew what it was like to be this close to Summer he never wanted to go back to having to admire her from afar.

"I am going to make you some breakfast"

Seth smiled "How did you know I was hungry?"

"Your rumbling stomach woke me up!"

"I will tell it to be quiet next time"

"Who said there was gonna be a next time" Summer said with a straight face. She watched as Seth's face fell "but I thought…" Seth was cut of by Summers lips she couldn't stand to see him so disappointed.

"Hey I was just kidding, surprisingly you make a comfy pillow so I guess there can be a next time"

" Good to know I am good for something"

Summer leaned back down to him and gave him a quick peck " Go back to sleep I will bring you some breakfast when its done"

"Did I ever tell you how wonderful you are?"

"No"

"Well I am now you miss Roberts are wonderful, beautiful and amazing"

"Cheesy Cohen now go back to sleep".

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Summer was humming a song to herself while frying the pancakes when she felt two arms snake around her waste. Seth began nibbling her neck.

"I thought I told you to go back to sleep"

"I couldn't sleep without you next to me"

"How did you manage the last seventeen years" She turned around and gave him a questioning look.

"I Didn't"

"You didn't what"

"I didn't sleep ever! Last night was the first time that I ever slept cause you were there!" He grinned down at Summer.

"Well you must be awfully tired we better go back to bed after breakfast"

"I think that's a wonderful idea" Summer reached up on her toes and began kissing Seth. They broke for air "I think we should do some more of this too you know since I haven't done a lot of making out these past few years there is a lot of making up to do". Summer reached up and kissed him again and they didn't stop until they were interrupted by the sound of the smoke alarm.

"Shit, I forgot the pancake was on" Summer turned around and quickly took the pan off the heat.

"Do you wanna go to the diner?"

"Nah, I just have some toast lets go back to bed" Seth replied and began leading Summer upstairs.

"Won't your parents be wondering where you are?"

"Nope, I got that covered I rang Ryan earlier to tell him to cover for me"

"When?"

"When I woke up this morning when you were still sleeping beautifully"

"You were watching me sleep Cohen that's creepy" Summer pretended to be freaked even though she was doing the same earlier but it was fun to mess with Seth so she took off in a sprint towards her room. Seth played along and started chasing her he knew that she was watching him sleep too why else would he have had a big grin on his face?

Seth caught up with Summer in her room and tackled her to the bed and began tickling her.

"Cohen stop that tickles"

"Too bad that's what you get for burning my breakfast"

"Cohen seriously I can't breath I am gonna pass out"

"OW" Summer had nudged him a bit harder than she meant to.

"Stopping now"

"I'm sorry Cohen. Where did I hit you?"

"Right here" Seth pointed to his cheek and Summer kissed it better.

"Anywhere else?"

"Right about here" Seth pointed to his lips and smiled cheekily Summer saw what he was doing but kissed him anyway but this time it was more of a peck she deepened the kiss and searched out his tongue with her own.

The rest of the afternoon was spent making out, sleeping and watching season 1 of The Valley. Summer couldn't believe Seth had never watched The Valley before so she insisted on a marathon of the best season. Seth surprisingly didn't put up a fight after all the longer it went on the longer he got to spend in bed with his arms around Summer he wished the weekend would never end 'cause he knew that come Monday in school there was a good chance that Summer could go back to ignoring him in public. No matter how amazing there weekend had been he knew that she had insecurities about being seen with him in public he would just have to prove to her that he was worth risking her popularity for.
