Authors Note: I randomly thought of this story one day when I was listening to the radio and 7 Years came on. So this happened! I hope you enjoy it. Thanks for reading! I think I'll be continuing this...
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
Sebastian sat on the floor of his empty living room and slowly laid back on the hardwood floor, staring up at the ceiling. He thought back to the boy who sometimes kept him up at night. The shortest boy in their class. Possibly the shortest boy in their grade. Blaine Anderson. He had big bushy curls, deep hazel eyes and scrunched up his nose when he giggled. He was the only person to give Sebastian the light of day. Well more than the light of day. Sebastian couldn't go through recess without seeing Blaine once.
Blaine would skip up next to the boy and giggle, flashing a toothy grin. His smile so bright as soon as he saw him, his curls bouncing as he skipped and the little squeal and giggle he'd let out when he'd hug him and would be lifted off the ground by the taller boy. Blaine would tucks flowers into Sebastian's hair and call him beautiful, causing him to blush. Sebastian adored Blaine.
The grandfather clock sounded louder now, ticks drumming in his ears as he closed his eyes. Blaine was his only friend. He was always so nervous when he saw Blaine with others. He didn't want to be replaced. Blaine made Sebastian feel special. He never felt special until he met Blaine.
Sebastian looked around the red, white and pink decorated classroom and watched the students, all giggling and handing Valentines to each other. He came in early to put little Valentines on everyones desks to avoid looking awkward while giving his peers cards covered in hearts when he barely even talks to them.
"Happy Valentines Day!" A loud voice sang and immediately, Sebastian smiled and looked towards the door. Blaine was skipping in, holding a tote bag as he was dressed in pink pants, a white sweater with a pink bow tie. He looked ecstatic. Sebastian sat in silence, watching Blaine go to all their peers and hand them cards. After fifteen minutes, Blaine had stopped bouncing. He was just standing near the corner of the room, standing outside the group of students and switched from looking in his tote to tugging lightly at his curls.
Slowly, he took a deep breath and walked over to Sebastian slowly, "H-Hi, Sebby…" He blushed softly, pulling out a rose from his bag and held it out to the taller boy.
Sebastian blinked slowly, his jaw dropping as he looked at the rose before glancing up at the blushing boy. He hesitantly took the rose, their fingers brushing and felt his cheeks heat up. "Thank you…"
The taller boy stood up and reached over the desk, hugging him tightly.
Sebastian sat on the bench with Blaine, watching the other kids run around the park. Their teacher was letting them have extra time playing outside for Valentines Day. Usually Blaine would be running around like wild, daring Sebastian to race him even though he knew the taller boy was faster. But today was about love and sophistication. He did his research.
Apparently the boys had read the same article.
"D-Do you want some cookies?"
Sebastian looked at Blaine who was holding out a container filled with cookies and nodded quickly, blushing as he took one gently. "Thank you…"
The way to a mans heart is through his stomach…
The two sat, both nibbling on their cookies and shyly glancing at each other. Blaine lifted his head and looked over to their teacher who was separating two fighting boys.
Sebastian watched Blaine as he felt a gust of wind and shivered lightly before quickly unwrapping his scarf.
He's already wearing a jacket so I can't loan him mine… I'll give him something else to warm up with.
"You look cold… Here, wear my scarf…" He reached around the boy, wrapping the scarf around Blaine's neck slowly and watched the boys cheeks turn a deeper shade of red.
The two boys continued to talk to each other as their classmates played, shyly smiling and blushing whenever their fingers brushed against each other. Blaine kept thinking about how angry his mother would be that he wasn't wearing his mittens but he was nervous that maybe Sebastian would want to hold hands and he doesn't know how to do that with mittens on.
Their pinkies eventually linked around each other as they talked, Blaine would tell stories about his older brother; some funny and some upsetting. It was moments like these that Sebastian wished he had more family to talk about.
They were laughing about Connor falling into a snowbank when it happened. Sebastian quickly froze and felt his entire face heat up when he felt his friends lips press quickly to his cheek. He slowly looked at Blaine who was blushing deeply as the taller boy smiled shyly. Blaine just kissed his cheek. His heart was flipping in his chest. This was the best day of his life, so far and he didn't think anything else could make him happier for a very long time.
Sebastian Smythe finally felt that he had a friend. A best friend.
