A/N: Yes, I'm back again rather soon. I feel like I owed you guys since I hadn't posted a new chapter since Wednesday. So here it is, Chapter Five! Also, I would like to apologize for the errors in Chapter Four. I tried to auto-replace some slang that was in the song lyrics that I used but alas… I didn't realize that it would replace some other things with the / they / etc. I will have that fixed soon, I promise!
I don't own Glee or any of the songs used in this chapter.
Rachel woke up the next morning with a horrible hangover. She groaned as she looked up at Sebastian, who was weirdly… staring at her while she had been sleeping, apparently. If this wasn't the third night in a row that she had woken up in entangled in him, she might have been a little disjointed but instead she just responded with a, "We seemed to have made a habit of this."
He chuckled, "I guess so."
"So she doesn't remember at all," he thought to himself, mentally giving off a sigh of relief.
"That's too bad," she said, moving to grab her phone out of her bag, checking the calendar, "Because break's over at McKinley and I actually have to go to school tomorrow… do you have any aspirin or anything?"
He laughed at her again, though nodding yes. He lifted her head as he managed to pull himself off of the mattress, pulling out his bedside drawer, pulling out a bottle of aspirin, before crossing the room to grab a water bottle from his fridge, remembering this time to not throw it at her. Climbing back under the covers, he handed the bottle of pills and the water to the brunette as she let out a contented sigh, putting her head back in its resting place on his chest.
"I just realized that over three days, we've became so close to each other physically," she started, pausing, "… in a not sexual way. But we hardly know anything about each other."
"… I have this horrible feeling you are going to impose a game of twenty questions today," he said, massaging his temples with the hand that wasn't casually strewn over Rachel's middle.
"You should become a mind reader or something," Rachel responded, laughing, "So first question. What's your favorite color?"
"Really Rachel? Such a juvenile question," Sebastian told her, pausing to think about his answer, "Red… or olive green. How about you, Rachel?"
"I like powerful colors like red and purple, but I also have a soft spot for pastels," she said, nodding her head, "What do you want to do with your life after school?"
He exposed to her that he probably would be studying to become a lawyer so he can follow in his father's footsteps and maybe sing songs for fun every once in awhile. She told him about her aspirations even though she was pretty sure that he already knew them. They talked about their favorite foods and Rachel promised to make him some of her vegan chocolate chip cookies since he had never tasted a vegan cookie. She learned he had a sweet tooth and that his father pretty much thinks he is a failure and that's why he wants to try and follow in his footsteps to make up for it. He learns that she really likes kittens and a whole bunch of other random stuff.
She had shared with him that experience in her parents' Oscars room where she drunkenly kissed Blaine and then swore that they were going to wind up together afterward. She even included the detail where they soberly kissed and Blaine announced that he was "one-hundred percent gay." Sebastian laughed and then Rachel started to laugh too. Rachel hated to admit it, but she was pretty sure that Sebastian and her were becoming friends.
After awhile, the two both had dozed off, even though they never finished the game. At the same time, however, Rachel felt like they had asked each other way more than twenty questions a piece. It was Sebastian who woke up first this time, gently nudging Rachel in attempts to wake her up. She groaned, nuzzling her nose into the male's chest.
"Rachel," he muttered quietly, "You need to get up. It's like, two in the morning and don't you have school in like, five and a half hours?"
Rachel shot up at this, screeching. Sebastian winced, covering his ears, "Rachel, I was just kidding!"
"That wasn't very nice at all, Sebastian!" she yelled, punching him in the shoulder.
"So says the person who just punched me," he said, shaking in his head, "But anyway. I'm hungry. Let's go get lunch and then we can head back to Lima and go get coffee or something."
"Sounds like a plan," she nodded, getting out of the bed and went over to her bag to grab the other outfit she had brought when they had been in Lima yesterday and went to change her clothing.
They had stopped for lunch at this cute little vegan restaurant that Sebastian had looked up on their way back to Lima. It had been delicious, and Rachel wasn't shameful in the fact that she probably ate more than she would in a week there. Thus, she spent the rest of the ride to the Lima Bean asleep in the passenger side of his Mercedes.
It wasn't until they were sitting at the table that Rachel realized how much of an interesting side of her that Sebastian was brining out. He promised her that Courvoisier tasted absolutely delicious in coffee and that she was going to try it before they left that day or Sebastian would kidnap her and never let her go back home until she tried it. Rachel finally just decided to give in for once, and grabbed for his cup, putting it to her lips and taking a rather large sip.
"Not too bad, actually," she spoke softly to the coffee, taking another gulp of the liquid, "It's actually pretty good."
"Slow down, tiger!" he told her, taking his cup back, "If you want to drink it, go and get your own."
"Eh…" she mentioned, "I'll just stick with my own."
"You're lazy, Rachel."
"It's my last day of break, I deserve to be as lazy as I'd like!"
"No need to get all defensive," he refuted, putting his hands up.
"Yeah, yeah," she said, sipping her own coffee.
There was an awkward pause in their conversation, as the two sipped their warm beverages in silence. Rachel looked down at the time that was displayed on the screen of her phone, "So what are we going to do for the rest of the day?"
He looked at her, laughing before he responded, "Who said I intended on spending any more time with you after this?"
Rachel rolled her eyes at the Warbler, "I did, of course."
"You do this to all of your friends? Must be why you don't have ma—" he began, seeing Rachel raise her hand to smack him, "Fine, fine. Let's go see a movie or something. I don't really have the slightest idea as to what is playing though."
"Mhnnnnn. Sounds good to me," Rachel replied, turning to her phone to pull up the theater's movie list and playing times on her phone, the two hunching over to look and see what was playing.
Sebastian had made the horrible mistake of letting Rachel pick the movie and the one she picked just happened to be awful. They were the only two people in the theater, so the two had spent a majority of the movie making fun of it. Rachel found it amusing that Sebastian could mimic the stereotypical gay character in the movie so perfectly; Sebastian was anything and everything but the prissy diva-boy. Rachel had cast herself as the protagonist of the movie who was played by some monotonous actress and was trying so hard not to punch herself in the face as she would repeat the lines.
At the end of the movie, Sebastian turned to the girl next to him, flicking the last piece of the popcorn they had been sharing at her forehead, "You sure know how to pick 'em, huh Rachel?"
As the piece hit Rachel right on target, she turned and glared at the green-eyed boy next to her, sticking her tongue back out as a response.
"You best put that tongue away before I bite it," he threatened, his eyes narrowing and voice lowering like it did when he was –jokingly- flirting with her. She didn't take him seriously at all, only sticking her tongue out more to the person sitting next to her.
It caught her off guard when his hands grabbed her face, causing her tongue to retract back into her mouth, though her eyes widened as Sebastian's face was still moving toward hers. She actually let out a gasp as his lips crashed into hers, using her gasp as the opportunity to let his tongue slip into her mouth. His appendage rubbed against her own, and her hands had just made their way to his chest to push him away when he nipped the tip of her tongue and pulled away himself, "I told you that I would."
"That was uncalled for, Sebastian Smythe!"
"It was your fault. You were the one who decided to not listen to me."
"I think it's about time for you to take me home," she spoke bitterly.
"Rachel," he started.
"Seriously, Sebastian," Rachel continued, "It's almost seven. I have to go home and get ready for school tomorrow."
"Alright, then," he said, getting up and holding his hand out to help the girl up, though she ignored the gesture and got up by herself, "Oh come on Rachel. Don't be mad at me, I was just playing around."
"You don't play around like that, Sebastian!" She exclaimed, "I could catch your… herpies or something."
"I don't have herpies," he backfired, the two becoming even more increasingly aggravated with each other, "Plus, that was the last thing you were worrying about last night when you had your tongue shoved down my throat."
She chose to ignore his last comment since she had no recollection of what he was talking about, "You probably have something worse than herpies, anyway," she sneered as the two got into the car, both slamming the doors.
"Whatever, Rachel," he began, "At least I can get a decent lay and didn't have to be so desperate as to have to sleep with a clumsy gorilla just to get rid of my virginity."
And that nailed the final nail into the coffin. They didn't speak to each other for the rest of the car ride to Rachel's house. When Sebastian stopped in front of the drive way they didn't say anything either, Rachel just got out of the door, slammed it once more, and headed toward her house and going inside.
The first day back to school was weird. It was always strange for Rachel after a break up with Finn… And she wasn't going to lie, she had kind of been expecting Sebastian to text or call her and apologize. She probably shouldn't have told him that he had some sort of STD (Since she had apparently made out with him the night prior anyway, as he put it), though his own words weren't exactly the nicest. She decided she needed to stop drinking around Sebastian because apparently she told him things she wouldn't when he was pouring alcohol down her throat (like her embarrassing sex-encounter with Finn).
Glee actually… was the most normal part of her day. Finn apparently had left school to go home early that day so no one in the club had apparently had the chance to hear about her experience with enemy Sebastian Smythe at Abler's. The awkward in the room instead was looming over Kurt and Blaine, though only Rachel seemed to really pick up on it.
Blaine was clearly staring off into space, but Kurt was fully engrossed with his cell phone, texting someone who clearly was not his boyfriend. After her encounter with Blaine, and then the encounter with Blaine and Sebastian at Abler's made her mind wonder what in the hell exactly was going on. She wondered if Kurt was texting David… they had been talking a lot since he transferred schools, which was a little strange. Rachel checked her phone for the umpteenth time, wondering if maybe one text was from Kurt or a little hopefully chimed inside her, that Sebastian had finally caved in and sent her a message… but her inbox was still empty as she checked it each time every ten minutes, it seemed.
Sebastian was extremely annoyed with one Rachel Berry at the moment. She had no right to accuse him of having some sexually transmitted disease for crying out loud. He had to admit though, with Dalton still being on break and him being alone, he kind of missed Rachel's presence. The night that the two had gotten into the fight, he wound up attending one of the night parties that he had on Friday. Apparently Andrew was throwing some sort of loop-themed party throughout the whole break and quite frankly… Sebastian couldn't decide if the idea was fucking stupid or fucking awesome.
He flipped open his phone, checking the time and to maybe see if Rachel had texted him to apologize. Sebastian chuckled to himself as he realized something. Both him and Rachel were extremely stubborn people… He added it up and figured out that she was undoubtedly just sitting around, refusing to give in herself, waiting for him to text her.
For once, Sebastian put his tail between his legs and texted her first because he really was that bored.
I'm sorry. Forgive me? :-( I shouldn't have used something that you confided to me in against you. –Seb
And now he had to wait for her response. He could see her as the kind of person who would accept his apology but ignore him for another day just to get the point across. But he was actually wrong as he checked his phone after it almost instantly went off.
I'll forgive you if you meet me at my house and take me to the Lima Bean at coffees with a shot of Courvoisier on you. PS: I'm sorry too, I know –and sure hope—you don't have sexually transmitted diseases. – Rachel
He smiled and gave a small laugh as he got up, getting ready to leave. Rachel must have forgotten that he was a good two hours away from Lima, so he needed to leave as soon as possible, as it was 2:56.
Alright. May be a few minutes late. I am making a two hour drive, you know. See you soon. :-)—Seb
"Lookin' nice as usual, Miss Berry," Sebastian said, maybe just kissing up to her a little bit.
"Oh cut the kiss-ass Smythe,"she said, slugging him playfully in the shoulder, "I have a question for you." She mentioned as he pulled out of her drive way, heading over to the coffeehouse.
"Hmm?" he noised, wondering what exactly she had to ask him this time.
"Are we friends?" she asked, turning to face him.
"Ugh," he responded, "I guess. I'm not too big on that word, but I'll reserve it just for you. How was your day at school, by the way?"
She smiled at his response to her question, feeling a bit special maybe, that she was Sebastian's real friend. She enjoyed making friends and she felt like she could trust Sebastian… At least if she ever needed someone to tell her how it really was, "It was really… interesting. Nothing really happened at school except for those who heard that Finn and I broke up would give me those looks like, 'Is she gonna fall apart at random?'"
"Did Finn say anything to you," he asked, looking over at her briefly before focusing back on the road, "or do anything to you?"
"No, I only saw him once," she started, her heart giving some sort of weird flutter that she was somewhat familiar with when he looked at her to make sure she was physically alright, "He apparently went home early so I didn't see him at school. But I'm actually starting to become genuinely concerned about Blaine and Kurt… and not just on Blaine's cheating either. I think Kurt might be cheating too."
"Blaine and I think he might be too," he mentioned, "We talked about it while you were in the bathroom at Abler's. Who would he be cheating on Blaine with? I don't know why anyone would want to cheat on Blaine…"
Rachel shrugged her shoulders, "I have this feeling it is David Karofsky, some kid who used to bully Kurt because he was ashamed of his own homosexuality. And I don't know… probably because Kurt isn't dumb and can tell Blaine is starting to second-guess himself as well."
The two spent the rest of the ride, the coffee-drinking experience, and the ride back to Rachel Berry's house talking about little random things, though mostly hushed talks about Blaine and Kurt; they wouldn't have been surprised if the two hadn't popped up at the Lima Bean. Sebastian pulled up in the Berry's driveway, but instead of getting out, Rachel continued to talk to him. Finally at 7:30, she told him that he should be heading back to Westerville and he nodded, "Text me or something when you get back to Dalton, alright? So I know you made back in one piece."
"Alright," he chuckled, ruffling the top of her hair, causing her to hiss and smack at his friends playfully, "Though you don't have to worry about me, Berry."
"Well, since I am your designated friend," she started, smiling at him with her hand on the handle, "I have to be."
"Thanks," he said, "Make sure you keep the doors locked, Rachel. And if Finn tries any funny business, you need to tell me. I'll gladly break his jaw for you next time."
She laughed, shaking her head no and getting out of the car. She shut the door and headed up toward her front door, turning around to wave as she unlocked the door and headed inside, locking the door as Sebastian requested (though she intended on locking them anyway).
Hope you aren't missing me too much. But I made it back, just so you know. – Sebastian
Thanks for letting me know. Call me? – Rachel
Exactly one minute after Rachel asked him to call, he was hitting the call button on his phone to do so. She answered with a yawn and a, "Hi, Sebastian."
"Hey, Rachel," he responded back.
"I'm tired."
"Then why don't you go to bed instead of talking to me on the phone?" he asked, his eyebrow raising with his question.
"Because I need a favor," she spoke through a yawn, and Sebastian groaned, already knowing what said favor was going to be before she even asked him, "Will you sing to me?"
"Any requests or shall I pick randomly?" he asked, still pretending to be annoyed.
"Random, just make it good," she added.
"I could sing the worst song in the world and make it amazing," he chirped and Rachel laughed.
"I'd hit you with something right now if I was there," she told him.
"I wish you were here, kind of," he told her, honestly, "It's so boring in my room without you. If this was a text message, I'd be adding a winky-face. Andrew is throwing some ridiculous break-party loop-thing and it's getting gross in there."
"I thought you said you would try and tone down the perverted-ness for me," she said, the tone in her voice slightly amused and slightly annoyed.
"Yeah, yeah," he said, "Now be quiet and close your eyes so I can sing for you so you can go to sleep."
"Alright," she said, "Good night, Seb."
"Night," and with that he paused, trying to think of what to sing.
"It's late in the evening
She's wondering what clothes to wear
She puts on her make up
And brushes her long blonde hair
And then she asks me, 'Do I look alright?'
And I say, 'Yes, you look wonderful tonight'
We go to a party
And everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady
That's walking around with me
And then she asks me, 'Do you feel alright?'
And I say, 'Yes, I feel wonderful tonight'
I feel wonderful
Because I see the love light in your eyes
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you
It's time to go home now
And I've got an aching head
So I give her the car keys
She helps me to bed
And then I tell her as I turn out the light
I say, 'My darling, you are wonderful tonight
Oh my darling, you are wonderful tonight'
Sebastian chuckled lightly as he heard her light breathing. It wasn't snoring, but it was noticeable, almost like she was singing even then, "Night, silly Rachel."
As he hung up the phone, he looked down at it, and shook his head. It wasn't possible that he was starting to have feelings for this Rachel girl, was it?
A/N: Sorry for the long update everyone, I hope you enjoy this! It is putting a little progress on the Sebchel relationship maybe just a tad… I don't want it to move too fast, but at the same time I am afraid if I take too long that I will become uninterested in the story. If you have any songs / things you would like to see happen in future chapters, let me know in a review or a private message. Love you guys! Talk to you next chapter!
