A/N: Thanks for all the reviews and especially all the Birthday messages-you're all so lovely! I think that updates may be coming a little slower after this chapter for the next few weeks because of Christmas/New Year etc and also because I need to start writing some more chapters! Anyway, hope you enjoy this-it's total fluff I'm afraid!

Summer peered around Seth's door and smiled as she watched him lying on his bed entirely engrossed in his new comic. It amused her that she should find something so adorable that on any other person would be undeniably geeky.

She knocked lightly and slowly ventured in. "Hey Cohen."

Seth turned at the sound of her voice and jumped off his bed grinning as he saw her. "Hey you…" he began, almost shyly "how long have you been stood there?"

"Oh…just long enough to remember what a dork you are Cohen." Summer sighed, smirking at his hurt expression.

"Well I'm amazed you'd forgotten Sum." He commented dryly, snaking his arms around her slender waist and kissing her lightly "I was going to come and see you later"

"Yeah I know..." Summer said pouting and fingering the collar of his shirt "But I couldn't wait that long…"

Seth opened his mouth to respond but was cut off as Summer pressed her lips passionately against his, and ran her fingers longingly through his curls.

"Now that…" Summer said breaking away breathlessly "Is a proper good morning kiss."

"Ahhh… so you got my note then"

Summer nodded smiling "Yes thank you baby it wa..." she stopped suddenly and her face clouded over "But I do not Snore!" she exploded, whacking him on his shoulder with her hand.

"Oh but you do Summer…" Seth eyed her seriously, rubbing his shoulder and ducking out of reach of any more of Summer's hitting "…Princess Sparkle and I could barely sleep, the whole house was like…vibrating."

Summer crossed her arms across her chest and raised an eyebrow threateningly "Well I guess you and I don't need to be sleeping together any time soon then."

Seth opened his mouth to retort but then hesitated and his face fell "Hmmm…"

Summer grinned in amusement "Didn't really think that one through did you Sweetie?"

"Not so much, no." Seth admitted

A comfortable silence descended on the room for a minute as Seth settled himself back down on his bed and Summer wandered over to his desk, her eyes lingering on a photo that was propped up against his computer. A smile crept over her face as she studied it and her hand reached out and brought the frame up so she could take a closer look.

Seth observed her from his bed; it was the same photo that he'd spent so long obsessing about after his run in with Katie. Agonising over what he could read in Summer's eyes; love?...pity?...happiness?

A faraway look settled in Summer's eyes now as she recalled the time that the photo was taken; a time when everything seemed so much simpler…but maybe this was better, maybe complicated just meant stronger…more involved.

"I always loved this picture" she whispered softly as she felt Seth's arms wrap tenderly around her from the back. She glanced over her shoulder and shot him a smile. "We just look so…"

"Happy?" Seth suggested hopefully

"Yeah…" Summer concluded, smiling "Happy. Blissfully happy."

"Well that's because we were." Seth muttered into her ear

Summer turned her head sharply to face him, wide eyed "Were?"

Seth laughed gently "Are." He clarified, placing a lingering kiss on her soft lips "Definitely are."

They stood silently for a few moments wrapped in each other's arms and a feeling of warm satisfaction enveloped Summer; It may not be simple…but it was always worth it.

"So…" Seth began a little hesitantly "We're ok then? I mean, you forgive me…after last night?"

"Last night?" Summer feigned ignorance and Seth's smile faltered a little

"Yeah…last night" he pressed "You do…remember last night?"

"Ohh…you mean Jen's party?" Seth nodded expectantly

"Well…" Summer started, biting her lip with thought and concentration "I remember alcohol…lots of alcohol…" she added "And I remember…oh yeah guys…getting with a bunch of random guys…Water polo players I think…"

Summer was unable to suppress her laughter as Seth's jaw dropped open in shock.

"Oh wait no…" she continued with a smirk "That was last week…"

"Ha Ha" Seth narrowed his eyes and ruffled the top of her hair.

"Last night…" She said, snaking her arms around his waist and pulling him close to her "I remember having a ridiculous fight with my impossibly cute boyfriend…"

Seth looked down at the floor in shame at the memory of their argument.

"And then…" She continued softly, lifting his face with her finger so his eyes met hers again "I got scared and angry…and ran away. I thought that maybe my boyfriend was right…that I was missing out…but it turns out that, as usual, he was wrong…and everything I've ever wanted was right here."

Seth afforded himself a small, sheepish smile and brushed some hair tenderly out of Summer's face.

"So…" she went on, with a sigh "I went to this incredibly awful party…where I ended up having a slanging match with the birthday girl's best friend …and just as I was about to fall apart, I got an answer phone message that gave me some hope… and then a phone call that made me believe in love again."

Seth lent forward and kissed her gently on her forehead, before nestling his head on her shoulder.

"And to cap the evening off..." Summer continued "I was saved from the clutches of an evil water polo player but the aforementioned boyfriend…who has a deceptively good right hook." She finished with a smile.

Seth laughed and pulled his head back so he could see Summer's face again "He sounds like a pretty awesome guy this boyfriend of yours."

"He'll do I suppose." Summer shrugged, before breaking into a grin.

"You know…" Seth whispered, stooping to softly kiss thecurve of her neck "My parents are out for the day…"

"Really?" Summer raised an eyebrow suggestively and pushed Seth a little closer to his bed.

"Uh huh…" Seth nodded "And Ryan's not going to be back for hours…" he continued, rubbing his hands tenderly up and down her back.

"Hours Cohen? Have you been practising?" Summer giggled lightly.

"If you're lucky…" Seth whispered "I'll show you my new moves."

Summer opened her mouth in amazement "Well that sounds like an offer I ca…"

She was prevented from finishing her sentence by Seth's lips that collided passionately with hers and he pushed him forcefully down onto his bed falling on top of him as she did so but never breaking contact with his lips, this time…neither of them were going to let go.

A/N: Yeah, so like I said, total fluff i'm sorry if you were hoping for something better!

Just wanted to thank all of you for reading the story thus far and for all your great reviews, but also to wish you all a fantastic Christmas and a brilliant New Year!

I'm wondering too whether I should begin the next storyline of this fic as a sequel, simply because this is getting quite long - let me know what you think!
