Disclaimer: I own nothing but I wish I could own Chris Colfer. I wanna watch Struck By Lightning so badly! =] ~~~~~~~

A/N: It has come to my knowledge that my story's plot might be similar to that of The Vow but I wouldn't know since I have never seen that movie nor do I have any desire to watch it. Channing Tatum does not pump the blood through these veins. =P

Chapter 3: Cold

Sebastian blinked a couple of times to make sure he heard correctly. It was some kind of joke right? Kurt had to be kidding, just playing some cruel joke on him. He tried reaching for Kurt's hand but he pulled it away again. "I- I'm going to get- get the doctor for you," he tried to say steadily but failing as he pushed the notify button repeatedly. Sebastian could feel his heart shatter and the room spinning. This couldn't be happening. Everything was wrong...all wrong. When the doctor arrived at the door so did Rachel Berry.

"Sebastian, what happened?" she asked with concern.

Sebastian wanted to respond with a sarcastic comment but it wasn't the place nor time and talking to the doctor was the most important thing right now. "Kurt...he doesn't remember me," he said directly to the doctor. He watched as the doctor made his way to Kurt's side, taking out his mini light. He flashed it onto Kurt's left eye and then his right.

"I'm Dr. Brown," he introduced himself, "Can you tell me something about yourself."

Kurt cleared his throat to speak. "My name is Kurt Elizabeth Hummel," he said hoarsely, "I'm currently eighteen years old." Sebastian and Rachel looked at each other at the same time, shocked at Kurt's words. "I just started my senior year at McKinley High," he continued, "I have a father named Burt, a step-mom named Carole, and a step-brother named Finn. I also have a boyfriend named Blaine Anderson."

At Kurt's last statement, Sebastian could feel the room start to spin again. It was suddenly hard for him to breathe and made him lose his sense of balance but Rachel caught him in time before he could fall. This wasn't some joke. This was real. Kurt had forgotten him. Wiped clean from his memory. "Let's talk outside," the doctor suggested as he walked towards the door. Once outside, the doctor continued, "It seems as though Mr. Hummel is suffering amnesia due to the concussion he sustained from the accident. As of right now, he has no recollection of the past three years."

"Is the memory loss permanent?" Rachel asked when she sensed that Sebastian was at a loss for words. All he could do right now was watch Kurt through the small window. Watch the love of his life look back at him with no emotion.

"It is possible for Mr. Hummel to regain his memory but only time will tell," Dr. Brown answered candidly before leaving.

Sebastian slumped against the wall to support himself, feeling as if he no longer had any strength left in his body. He soon felt a hand on his shoulder, "Maybe you should head home and rest. I'll stay with Kurt tonight since he'll remember me," Rachel suggested, "I'll take care of informing his family and getting Kurt up to date. Hopefully I can get him to remember something."

Sebastian found himself nodding as Rachel gave him a reassuring smile. He really didn't want to leave but he also didn't want to bombard Kurt since he was now a complete stranger to him. At least his best friend could stay by his side while he couldn't.

Sebastian finally made it back to his big, empty condo in the Upper East Side. Without turning on any lights, he made his way to the bedroom and plopped onto his king-sized bed. He haphazardly changed into his pajamas and climbed under the covers. He really wanted to sleep so he could wake up, knowing that everything that happened was just some nightmare. All through the night, sleep escaped Sebastian as he continually stared at the ceiling. He turned his head to look at the empty side of his bed, clutching onto the blanket tightly as a wave of cold washed over him.

"Happy 19th Birthday-New Years-Anniversary Sebastian!" Kurt shouted at the top of his lungs as the clock struck midnight before giving Sebastian a deep kiss on the lips while watching TV in Sebastian's living room. School holiday breaks were a blessing to both Sebastian and Kurt, giving them even more time to spend together. With Kurt's first demanding whole year at NYADA and Sebastian's first jammed-pack semester at NYU coming to an end, they really needed a breather. "We really should have spent this moment back at my place. That way Rachel and Brody could spend it with us too. The more the merrier," Kurt reasoned when he broke the kiss.

Sebastian tightened his hold of Kurt's waist as he nuzzled into Kurt's neck. "I can't stand to watch Berry and her man candy undress each other with their eyes," he breathed against Kurt's neck, "Spending those three things with just you is good enough for me. Perfect actually because I could do this." He proceeded to nibble gently at the area under Kurt's earlobe, eliciting a breathy moan from Kurt. Within moments of regaining clarity, Kurt was pushing him away making Sebastian pout in response. He tried to latch back onto Kurt but his boyfriend was having none of it as he held his hand up to stop him in his tracks.

"Reign in your hormones, Smythe!" Kurt chided him, "Presents first. Funny business later." Sebastian flashed his infamous smirk, eager for the night to end. Before he could protest, Kurt cut him off.

"Here is your birthday and anniversary gift," Kurt said as he handed him a box with a ribbon on it, "It's not much but it's all I could afford and I put a lot of thought into it." Sebastian quickly undid the bow and opened the box to reveal a photo album. On the cover, it had his and Kurt's name embroidered in script on it.

"Did you do this yourself?" Sebastian asked as he looked up in disbelief at his thoughtful boyfriend.

Kurt gave a quick nod, "That would explain why I had that band-aid on my finger a week ago which you were pestering me about. Who knew stitching that would be harder than stitching clothes together? I've never hurt myself before."

Sebastian looked back down at his gift, opening it to skim through the photos. Every photo was in chronological order and had a small note under each, written in Kurt's beautiful penmanship. It contained a year's worth of photos of their dates, school dances, home activities, places they visited, and much more. Sebastian couldn't believe his boyfriend did this for him. How did he get so lucky to have Kurt, let alone make him stay? He quickly placed it onto the coffee table and pulled Kurt into a tight hug, "I love it...I love you."

Turns out turning nineteen was another monumental age for Sebastian as it was the first time he ever said I love you to anyone besides his parents. He had been apprehensive in saying it to Kurt as he was unfamiliar with relationships, fearing he would say it too soon or say it without meaning it. Kurt understood that about him and accepted it. Kurt would give Sebastian all the time he needed to be able say those three significant words when he was ready. Never getting mad or upset when Kurt would say it to him but get nothing in return. But Sebastian didn't regret saying it now because it was true. He really did love Kurt, for quite some time now actually. His gift would depict that quite clearly.

"I love you too," he heard Kurt whisper, "I have a copy of my own back at my place so you could write some notes in my version next time." Sebastian loosened his hold on Kurt to give him a soft kiss on the cheek.

"I guess it's my turn now," he said as he fished Kurt's gift out from his pocket, "Happy Anniversary."

Kurt accepted the small box wrapped in a ribbon eagerly as he always liked receiving gifts. He quickly undid the bow and opened the box. What he saw caused him to gasp. In it laid a small, silver key. He looked up back at Sebastian as tears welled up in his eyes. It couldn't possibly be a key to what he was thinking of. He didn't even know Sebastian was thinking about that level in their relationship. He did JUST say I love you which was a big step for him already.

"Well...my gift must suck in comparison," Kurt finally mustered up as tears ran down his face.

Sebastian chuckled at how adorable Kurt was in this very moment. "No it wasn't. It was perfect. I was going to say I love you to go along with this gift but I got ahead of myself," he explained to Kurt, "I've been debating on whether I should ask you to move in with me for a month now, just seeing if there was a reason not to. As it turns out, there wasn't any. You're the first person I ever allowed to get close to me and I'm glad it was you. You make me feel like the luckiest boyfriend on this planet every day and accept me for who I am, flaws and all. Being unable to see you every day due to school or work kills me. Besides, this condo is too big for just one person to live in so I want the person I love to share it with. You don't need to pay rent since my parents pay for it as long as I attend school here so you can save your money. I have already received Rachel's permission to snatch you away and she said you would always be welcomed back at Bushwick."

Kurt couldn't believe that this was really happening. He swiped the tears off his face hastily and lunged into Sebastian's arms. "Of course I'll move in with you," he exclaimed. After a few minutes, they detached themselves from each other. Sebastian quickly pulled out his camera from his desk to take a picture of them holding their gifts to add into their photo albums. He then proceeded to pick up Kurt bridal style, "I believe you promised me funny business," Sebastian said with a quirk of his eyebrow and a wink. He watched as his now live-in boyfriend blush a bright red as he led him into their bedroom.

Sebastian clutched the blanket even tighter as he turned to look back at the bare ceiling. Even the blanket couldn't shake the cold feeling of the silent, empty condo. What he needed was Kurt. He needed Kurt's warm body next to his to sleep. It was what he had grown accustomed to this past year and a half but now he was alone. He didn't like it at all. He grabbed Kurt's pillow and hugged it tightly to his chest, close to his heart. Kurt's scent from it soon filled his nostrils as he breathed in deeply. Sebastian soon enough felt something wet around his eyes and suddenly, just like that he started crying for the second time since learning about Kurt's accident. He cried till he fell asleep that night.

OMGOSH! If anything like this happened to me, I wouldn't be able to take it. I have such a weak heart -_- Sorry that this chapter was once again mostly consisting of a flashback but I'm getting most of them out of the way first. Once again, reviews are very much appreciated.~~~
