A/N: I swear, I'll go back to studying after posting this. The support for this series just has been too real and I just HAD to update!
Last Christmas, I gave you my heart.
"Wow," the sigh fell from Lexi's lips before she could stop it.
Sebastian gave a small smile, standing slightly behind her as she stood in awe at the room she'd be staying in. His eyes fell to the door that was to the left of the room and he smirked.
Lexi walked into the room, dropping her carry-on bag to the ground as she explored the room like a curious child. It was a spacious room, with a large, queen-sized poster bed in the center of the room pushed against the wall, flaked by two mahogany nightstands. To the left of one of the nightstands sat an ivory vanity, with a small chair before it.
There was a desk to the right of the second nightstand, once again with another chair. Looming on the wall opposite of the bed was a large, flat-screen television and a shelves for clothing.
Glancing to the right of the room she took a look at the open door, which led to a connecting bathroom. Next to the door was a large mahogany armoire. Lexi turned, her brown hair flying over her shoulders as she turned to the left of the room, taking in the white door that was closed.
"Where's that lead to?" she asked curiously.
Sebastian smirked, stepping further into the room. He parked Lexi's suitcase next to her sports bag, which was used as a carryon, before he replied, "My room."
Lexi's eyes widened as she whirled to look at Sebastian. Ah, the doe-eyed look is becoming quite the thing these days, Sebastian mused quietly. It was cute, he had to admit. The way her solid baby blue eyes would grow and her jaw would drop as her pink lips parted.
Sebastian's blue-green eyes twinkled before he walked to the door, opening it. Lexi followed him curiously. The set-up was just the same as Lexi's, except his bed was a king-size and his sheets were a deep navy instead of the plain ivory Lexi had. There was also a large bookshelf that was next to Sebastian's armoire, and a large shelf of movies, with a CD case right next to that.
Sebastian sat down on his soft bed, watching the girl eye his book, movie, and CD collection with interest. She wasn't surprised to see so many classics, with some of them even in their original French, with the English version next to it. His room was just like his own back in Lima, Ohio, but much bigger.
If Lexi had to be honest, this house was just a bigger version of his own back in Lima. The difference this house had that his other house didn't was a large backyard, with a larger pool and bigger driveway. Sebastian wasn't kidding when he had said he was from old money.
Even the recording and dance studio he had shown on the way to his room was bigger, the room more rounded for the acoustics to travel better. But otherwise, it looked completely the same.
Sebastian lied back down on his bed, his long legs dangling off the side, tired from his almost twelve-hour flight. First class was first class, he thought to himself, but there was still the major jet lag.
"This is amazing," Lexi said, turning to look at her friend, only to see him lying on his bed. She approached him slowly. "Sebastian?"
Sebastian's hand suddenly reached up, and Lexi let out a yelp before she tumbled down onto the bed next to Sebastian. "How are you not tired?" he asked.
Lexi blinked, before glancing at the time. It was close to ten PM, which meant it was four PM in Ohio. But… she was tired, now that she thought about it. There was just something about sitting in the seats, no matter how comfortable they were, it was hard to actually relax.
"See?" Sebastian asked, seeing her unresponsive. He moved her head so they rested against his chest. "Sleep, Lexi. We've got a long day tomorrow."
Lexi nodded quietly, and focused on the rhythmic falling and rising of his chest, which was quite hard and toned. Slowly, her eyelids began to droop, and she lost herself into dreamland with Sebastian right behind her.
Tell me baby, do you recognize me?
Lexi fixed her hair, letting the last curl fall over her shoulder. She placed her curling iron back on the vanity, before looking at her reflection in the mirror. It was much different from last year's Christmas, that much was for sure.
Day in and day out, all Lexi did was practice basketball. Just because break was for two weeks didn't mean they didn't get two weeks of free practice. Even on Christmas day, Lexi would be up and practicing, before coming back home to a small dinner and a gift-giving. She didn't care, though. It was how her family always spent Christmas.
The reflection of a young girl with waves of brown hair and twinkling baby blue eyes beamed at Lexi. She reached to place a strand behind her ear and the girl before her did the same, mirroring her movements.
This year, it was about this girl, not about a girl who was focused on one and only one thing. Yeah, sure, focus is good, Sebastian's voice rang in her head, but you gotta have fun, too.
Lexi grabbed her jacket, throwing it over her shoulders. She adjusted it briefly just as there was a knock on the door that connected her and Sebastian's room together. Without waiting for an answer, Sebastian threw open the door.
"I could've been naked," Lexi pointed out, turning to look at the boy, who was dressed warmly as well. Her eyes scanned him, taking in his dark clothes and loose-fitting jeans. "Aren't you going to be cold in just those?"
Sebastian scoffed quietly, walking over to where Lexi was. He flicked her curls playfully and replied, "I grew up here. I'm used to it." He walked over to her bed and grabbed her checkered scarf. "You, however, will freeze your sexy little butt off, so wear this." He threw it at her.
Lexi caught the scarf in midair and wrapped it around her neck, before turning around to look at Sebastian, who had sat down on her bed. "How do I look?"
Sebastian's eyes scanned her, taking in her wavy hair, scarfed neck, thick jacket, skinny jeans that hugged her athletic legs, and boots. "Cute," he replied simply, eyes lingering at her covered legs. Those jeans did wonder to her legs. He silently shook his head, snapping him out of his thoughts before smiling at Lexi. "Shall we go?"
I'm hiding from you and your soul of ice.
Lexi's blue eyes were wide in amazement as she walked through the busy streets of Paris, taking in the foreign streets. Even if they were dirty.
"For the City of Love, the streets are pretty dirty," Lexi commented, avoiding some dog poop for the umpteenth time.
Sebastian laughed from where he walked beside Lexi, hands shoved in his pockets. "It's the sight at nighttime," he provided. His eyes darted from a street vendor to Lexi, who blew into her gloveless hands, rubbing them. "Cold?"
"I should've brought gloves," Lexi admitted, rubbing her frozen hands.
Sebastian reached over. His eyes widened a fraction at how freezing her hands were. "Jeez, you should've said something earlier," he scolded lightly, before wrapping his warm hands around hers.
The brunette flushed softly as Sebastian brought their entwined hands together. She squeaked as he blew his hot breath on their hands, and her face burned when his sea green eyes met hers. He grinned softly at her before slipping her left and his right hand into his right pocket.
"I – Se–" Lexi stuttered out, her face burning. She brought her right hand to cool down her bright red cheeks and she looked away. A tingle ran up her arm and down her spine as she felt Sebastian's fingers lace with hers inside his pocket. She flexed her right hand, willing some of the blood that was rushing through her to warm the extremity.
"I can't do anything about the other, but I can keep this hand warm," Sebastian said, looking at his companion. Seeing her red face, he couldn't help but chuckle. She looked absolutely adorable, trying to hide in her scarf.
Lexi, feeling his eyes on her, turned away to avoid her face being seen by him. She could hear Sebastian give a small chuckle of amusement before they resumed walking through the streets. She tugged at the sleeve of her jacket, going to cover her right hand while her left was safely tucked in Sebastian's jacket pocket.
"Enjoying Paris so far?" Sebastian asked as they strolled together.
Lexi smiled. "Best Christmas ever."
Sebastian arched a brow, turning to look at Lexi. "Really? All we've done so far was walk around."
The brunette gave a small smile before looking down at the ground, which was slicked with a thin layer of ice. "This is the first time I've spent Christmas with someone." She spared Sebastian a glance before looking ahead. "My parents are always off doing their own thing."
The tall boy beside her gave a small, acknowledging hum. He didn't really understand spending Christmas alone. It was always boisterous around Christmas time in his family. He looked at the girl, who had gotten quiet and glanced around.
He spotted a street performer playing his guitar, cooing soft notes before an idea popped into his head. "You know what's good to do right now?"
Lexi glanced up, looking at Sebastian. She cocked an eyebrow. "What?"
He grinned and pointed to the street performer. "An impromptu song. Take out all your frustrations in it. Every feeling your parents gave you this year? Throw it at them."
Before Lexi could even stop him, Sebastian released her hand, jogging over to the street performer. He smoothly asked to borrow the guitar in French and pointed to Lexi. The street performer gave a small glance at the young girl before nodding his head.
Sebastian smiled, taking the instrument into his hands before Lexi joined him. He pushed it over to her and said, "Go on. I know you can play." He had seen her fingering his acoustic guitar a couple of times when they would rehearse in his studio. While she never played a song, she did go through a few chords and scales. "Take it all out, Lexi."
Lexi took the instrument into her hands, and glanced down at it. She looked thoughtful for a second before firmly making her decision. She threw the strap over her shoulder and positioned it. She plucked the strings slowly, testing the tuning.
Sebastian backed away from her and he pulled out his phone, turning on the camera just as Lexi's bright blue eyes closed. She took a deep breath, exhaling gently before her fingers moved, with her voice accompanying:
I'm gonna make you bend and break
Say a prayer but the let the good times roll
In case God doesn't show
And I want these words to make things right
But it's the wrongs that make the words come to life
"Who does he think he is?"
If that's the worst you got
Better put your fingers back to the keys
Lexi's eyes snapped open and she was shocked to see more people had gathered, with Sebastian in the center, directly in front of her, phone open and recording as she continued to sing:
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter,"
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter."
Flashes of her mother throwing her keys at her, her father's veins bulging as his red face yelled at her. She started playing harder, the sound echoing through the streets, catching the attention of other bypassers, who stopped to watch. She continued to sing:
Been looking forward to the future
But my eyesight is going bad
And this crystal ball
Is always cloudy except for
When you look into the past
One night stand, one night stand oh
Her brows furrowed as she played harder, feeling her blood rush through her body, pulsing through. Why didn't they accept her? How come they couldn't do what complete strangers did? The members of New Directions and Warblers took her in just fine. She genuinely enjoyed their presence, and vice-versa. So why couldn't they?
Lexi hit the chorus again, singing as hard as she could:
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you only sweeter."
One night, yeah, and one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you only sweeter." Oh
Lexi's playing softly gently as she cooed out, looking around at her audience:
They say I only think in the form of crunching numbers
In hotel rooms, collecting page six lovers
Get me out of my mind and get you out of those clothes
I'm a liner away from getting you into the mood, whoa
The crowd around her clapped and cheered as she hit the chorus again. Lexi smiled through her singing as she continued on. Sebastian smiled at her from behind his phone, keeping his recording on her as best as he could as she hit the chorus again, ending the song:
One more night, one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
"He tastes like you, only sweeter." Oh
One more night, one more time
Thanks for the memories, thanks for the memories
"See, he tastes like you, only sweeter." Oh
The crowd that had gathered around her clapped and cheered, and Lexi smiled, taking a small bow. Sebastian beamed from behind his cell phone, ending the recording. He quickly uploaded the video to his Facebook page, tagging Lexi in it.
As the video uploaded, Lexi handed back the street performer his guitar. "Tu est excellent," he complimented, taking back his instrument.
Lexi smiled softly, replying, "Merci beaucoup." She gave a small thankful nod before walking over to Sebastian.
He grinned at her and held up his phone, waving it at her. "I literally just uploaded the video and you've already got ten likes. And a few comments."
"You uploaded it?" Lexi asked, eyes wide. She took the phone from him, reading the comments.
Blaine Anderson, Kurt Hummel and 11 others like this.
Blaine Anderson I MUST have you accompany me next time we duet! You're amazing!
Kurt Hummel You go girl ;) I also agree with Blaine. Jam when you come back!
Trent Nixon Love it!
Rachel Berry Kurt Hummel Blaine Anderson you guys HAVE to invite me! Great job, Lexi!
"Wow," Lexi said, looking at the comments. She gave a small laugh as someone from Dalton – one of Sebastian's friends – commented he didn't know who she was, but she was hot.
Lexi pulled out her own phone as she handed back Sebastian's, seeing notifications from Facebook:
Mercedes Jones, Finn Hudson and 14 others like a video you were tagged in.
Artie Abrams, Rachel Berry and 3 others have commented on a video you were tagged in.
Sebastian Smythe tagged you in a video.
"Oh wow," Lexi blinked. She knew that the New Directions members were unaware of her guitar-playing skills. She had never played in front of them before. Finn and Kurt knew, as they heard her play in her room a couple of times, but they had never brought it up. She didn't think it was all that unique, since Puck and Sam were able to play as well.
Sebastian reached over, wrapping an arm over her shoulders. Lexi blushed softly as he pulled her to him, looking down at her cell phone. He grinned playfully at her, taking in how embarrassed she was. He leaned in close so Lexi could feel his warm breath over her cold ear. "Let's continue our walk, shall we?"
Lexi shivered softly from his teasing, flirtatious tone and nodded. Sebastian took her hand once again, and the two walked away from the street performer. The heels of Lexi's boots clacked along the sidewalk before she shivered again, this time from the cold.
Sebastian glanced down at her before she looked up at him. His eyes darted to her lips as the top row of her teeth shot out, biting the bottom lip. She gnawed on it gently and Sebastian's breath caught as her bright blue eyes looked up widely at him. Her eyes were so beautiful that they were unbelievable.
His brows furrowed as Lexi untangled her fingers from his. He moved to ask what she was doing, but was surprised when her arms snaked around the length of his right arm. She looped her left arm around it, before her right hand moved across to grab his warm hand.
"I'm cold," Lexi muttered, slightly embarrassed. Well, it was half the reason. The other half was because she wanted to be close to Sebastian as she possibly could.
It was weird. Lexi would never identify herself as the clingy type. Quite the opposite, actually. Lexi didn't really care if she spent time with her two ex-boyfriends and she tried to distance herself from Samantha around school to avoid any attacks from other kids.
But with Sebastian? She always found herself with him on her free time. Hell, she was in a foreign country with him right now, all because he asked for her to join him.
Sebastian smirked, tightening his hand around Lexi's smaller one. "Whatever you say," he drawled. She didn't realize just how well he could read her, did she? But it was alright. Sebastian enjoyed her close proximity, to be completely honest.
He knew there was something between them – it was obvious. He wasn't stupid. He also knew that he was 100% gay, but thinking about it – Lexi's idea of an exception – he could see it. In his head, it wasn't unappealing for him to be with Lexi. In fact, he toyed with the idea quite often these days.
He had stopped frequenting Scandals as a result. He found himself unable to find a release with anyone other than his right hand these days. The brunet was into hard muscle and broad shoulders, but now, he longed for the touch of his female companion's soft skin.
There was a reason why he pulled her to him often. The way her large, voluptuous breasts would push against the hard plane of his chest made him imagine what they would look like unconstrained as she writhed beneath him.
Sebastian snapped up, shaking his head. He subtly adjusted himself before Lexi turned to him, confused. "What is it?" she asked, startled by his out-of-nowhere movement.
"Dog poop," he reported casually as they entered a park. Get your hormones in check, Sebastian, he scolded himself silently. He changed the subject, asking, "So how do you feel now?"
"Great, actually," Lexi confessed. "Thanks for making me sing."
"I didn't make you sing," Sebastian rolled his eyes. He spared her a look before stating, "I'd never make you do something you didn't want, Lex."
Lexi smiled softly. "Thank you," she said sincerely. Her parents always pushed her to be something. Pushed her to do this, to do that, to not fail. … Pressured her to get out.
Sebastian pulled her aside. Lexi felt the brushes of the tree trunk behind her as she looked up at him. He extracted his arm from Lexi's grip before turning so she could fully face him. "Lexi," he said quietly. "I'm gay," he announced.
"I know," Lexi replied just as quietly. She could feel his thumbs brushed her cold cheekbones. "I am, too."
"I like men," Sebastian told her. "And you like women." Lexi nodded wordlessly. "But there's this… feeling I get when I look at you." Lexi nodded again silently. "I like you, Lexi," he confessed.
Lexi's breath hitched in her throat.
"And I can even grow to love you," Sebastian continued. "Lexi, beautiful, sexy, Lexi," he said, looking at her with his serious blue-green eyes. For once, they held no mischief, no teasing. Only sincerity. "I'm going to kiss you. Is that okay?"
Lexi blinked up at him owlishly before giving another nod, unsure of how to respond to his words. Sebastian leaned down, and her eyes fluttered, suddenly getting heavy. Her eyes closed completely as Sebastian placed his lips above hers, and she inhaled sharply through her nose, feeling tingles run through her.
Sebastian took in his own deep breath as he felt himself surrounded by her lavender scent. His hands, which were limp at his sides, moved up her curvy hips to snake around her thin waist. He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her to him, and Lexi placed her hands over Sebastian's chest.
Sebastian's grip on her tightened even further.
It was a simple, innocent kiss. Their lips were simply pressed together, yet it felt more passionate than any other kiss the two have experienced.
The two simply stood there, their lips pushed together, when they felt something. It was cold and wet, and brushed slid down their cheeks. More drops landed and Sebastian released Lexi, pulling back.
They both looked at each other before looking up at the sky. White drops fell around them, and Lexi smiled.
It was snowing.
Lexi turned back to look at Sebastian, and her heart warmed. Despite the frustrations of her parents, she found that her life was now officially beginning. Sebastian, feeling her eyes on him, turned, connecting their eyes.
He tossed her a blinding smile before wrapping his arms around her again. He pulled her to him, before leaning down, pressing his lips softly against her forehead. Lexi's arms circled around Sebastian's waist, and she pressed herself against him, hugging him, as the snow fell around them.
I'll give it to someone special.

A/N: Yay! They finally kissed! ^^ Kudos to anyone that knows another couple in my fanfics that kissed under the first snow fall. ;) I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably gonna update again before the week is over, but of course - that depends on the feedback *hinthint* ;)
Question of the Day: Who do you guys ship the most in Glee? Also, do you mind if I make Lexi Blaine's BFF instead of Tina?
Mine's Klaine and Finchel. Though, I really disagree with the fact that Blaine would cheat on Kurt (what the hell were the writers thinking?) and I hate how much drama Finchel went through. =-= I'm not much of a Blina fan. What she did to her was just... ugh and she's a total bitch now. :( I miss old Tina. She cray-cray now.
Q&A
Taryn1245675787 asks: Will Sebastian serenade Lexi?
Well, this is a musical fic, so... yes. ;)
MrsTomMarvoloRiddle: Who kiss? Blaine and Lexi? They did, hahah. If you mean Sebastian and Lexi, well... I hope this makes up for it. ;)
gossamermouse101: Brittany's a unique one, that's for sure. Sebastian seems like the possessive type. Hahah. I feel like in this relationship, Lexi would be more of the guy and Sebastian would be more of the girl - as in, he's more of a diva. xD
Briana Bailon: I love writing Sebastian hovering over Lexi. ;)
RHatch89: Thanks! ;)
Momsen-xxx: I hope you're enjoying them! :D
t0neverland7: Well, unfortunately, there's no Lexi-injured-in-a-basketball-game scenario, sorry. I ended the season already. :/ I don't think Lexi would have a thing with Santana, to be completely honest. Santana's just too bitchy for Lexi's taste and yes, that's saying something since she's "with" Sebastian but Sebastian's nice and doting on her while Santana is nothing but rude to her. It's too 180 if she goes with Santana, hahah.
justsukiya: Awww, you flatter me! ^^ I reread my fics, too and sometimes forget I wrote it and get so mad when I reach the end. xD Then I realize I was rereading it to look for mistakes. Hahah! xD
lijahsgirl: Thank you! ^^
GuestLiz: Blexi's definitely my favorite to write after Selexi. Hahah. :) I hope you guys don't mind that I'll make her Blaine's BFF as opposed to Tina. Oh my God, everyone always looks forward to smut. xD Ariana Grande kinda makes me feel like a pedo when I look at her, though... Her and Selena Gomez. Oh my God, their baby faces are too real. :|
Daisuki1993: Thank you! I figured the best person to have Lexi talk to her about her confusing sexuality would be Blaine, since he went through that whole thing with Rachel - also, he's one of the few New Directions members (in Season 5) that I can stand without ripping my hair out. *sigh* Hahah~ Sebastian's over his crush with Blaine now. To Sebastian, he's just a pretty thing to look at.
dreamtodoit: Thank you! :D
kathrynwerewolves14: Thank you! This is some shameless self-advertising, but do you also watch Teen Wolf (since your username involves werewolves)? I have a Teen Wolf fanfic, too, if you're interested. :)
Lucy Greenhill: I've never actually sung in the car with my friends before. xD I just sing like crazy in my room. Yeah, I'm hoping to have a flashback with what went down between Lexi and her parents.
Taryn1245675787: Thank you! ^^
A/N: Remember to drop reviews, my loves!
