Princessparadox said: How about Blaine discovering that Sebastian is going to be alone for Christmas (his parents decided to stay in Europe or something) so he decides to surprise him on Christmas Eve.

It was already Christmas Eve, and the thought that Christmas morning with loads of presents was just around the corner exhilarated Blaine a great deal. He absolutely loved Christmas. But then again, who didn't?

It was early evening when Blaine drove off to Dalton with the presents he would give his friends there. Sure, all of them were at home over the holidays, but from tradition Blaine knew that there was a huge Christmas tree in one of the common rooms. He still remembered how fun it was coming back to Dalton and discovering that you had more gifts under that tree.

There was also another reason to why Blaine went back to Dalton that particular day. He could've just left them a few days later and still had them there before his friends were back. He was only using them as an excuse.

A couple of days earlier, when Blaine had hung out with Nick and Jeff, they had accidentally slipped that Sebastian's dad was taking his mom up to the Alps for a skiing trip. Wasn't Sebastian invited?

"I don't know," Nick said and thought back to the conversation he'd had with Sebastian. "I didn't ask, but it seemed like he wasn't. He seemed kind of... down."

Blaine was feeling devastated when he heard about this. No one should have to be alone at Christmas. I mean, it's Christmas! It's the time of the year for love and friends and family. Blaine thought that Sebastian's parents were kind of stupid, not even inviting their own son.

The drive was longer than usual considering the blizzard that was raging in Westerville. When Blaine finally arrived, the light of day had disappeared long ago. He took the two bags packed with wrapped gifts under his arms and hurried inside to the warmth.

Dalton had the same Christmas decorations up as last year, he could remember them clearly. Blaine was feeling awfully sentimental and Christmassy as he brushed off some snow from his jacket and entered the common room where the tree was.

He almost stopped abruptly in the door when he saw that the room wasn't empty like he'd expected it to be. Though, he shouldn't have been surprised to find Sebastian there. After all, the school was practically his own over the holidays, he could do whatever he pleased. There were only around ten people staying at Dalton over Christmas every year, and though they could spend it together, that never seemed to be the case.

Sebastian was lying on one of the brown leather couches, reading a book. He looked up as he heard someone approach, and was very surprised to see that it was Blaine. He noticed the presents Blaine had brought and figured that those were the reason to why he was here, and not Sebastian. Therefore, after having eyes looked with Blaine for a minute, Sebastian averted his eyes back to his book.

"Did you have to bring those on the day of the worst blizzard the year?" Sebastian asked in an amused tone of voice.

Blaine limped over to the tree and unpacked the bags, loading the presents carefully underneath the already crammed space under the tree. He didn't say anything until he was done, took the last present and went over to Sebastian who was still fixating on his book.

Sebastian was only pretending to read of course, and Blaine knew that. That was why Sebastian's faked devastation when Blaine took the book from him was so much more hilarious.

"Hey, I was reading that!" Sebastian exclaimed. Blaine only cocked an eyebrow at him.

"So you don't want your Christmas present then?" Blaine asked, feeling Sebastian's eyes slide to his lap where the object was laying. He handed it over to Sebastian. "Merry Christmas."

"Thanks," Sebastian breathed, still puzzled. "Why didn't you just give it when I gave you-" Sebastian went silent in an instant as scanned Blaine's face, the look on it. "Who told you?"

"Told me what?" Blaine asked innocently.

"That I would be here?"

Blaine sighed. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that I care about you, and no one I care about should be alone at Christmas. Not if I can help it."

A smile appeared on Sebastian's lips, one filled with gratitude. But it only lasted a second, before turning mischievous. He rose from the couch and went to stand at a place in the middle of the room. He looked back at Blaine. "If you don't want me to be alone, then why aren't you coming?"

Blaine stood up but remained where he was. "Where are we going?"

"Just come," Sebastian said, waving with his hand. Blaine obliged without further question. As he was standing next to Sebastian, he could see the smile on his lips growing into a grin. Sebastian turned his eyes up to the ceiling, and Blaine did the same.

Blaine couldn't believe that he hadn't noticed it before. Oh, that sneaky guy.

They were standing underneath a mistletoe.

Their eyes met again, and Blaine just couldn't help but to ask. "Who puts up a mistletoe at an all-boys school anyway?"

"You'd be surprised of all the thing that could be arranged," Sebastian said mysteriously. Then he leaned down to meet Blaine's face, and their lips met in a slow kiss that seemed to last for hours.

"Thank you," Sebastian breathed when he pulled away.

"You're welcome," Blaine said with a smile. "And since this is your first Christmas at Dalton, I feel blessed to tell you that you're up for a delicious treat. The Christmas dinner here is fantastic!"

Blaine grabbed Sebastian's hand and started pulling him out of the commons and down the hall to the cafeteria.

Sebastian still couldn't believe all of this was happening, but the thing he really didn't understand was the smile on his lips that he wouldn't be able to wipe away for the rest of the evening.
