A/N: Once again, thank you for all your reviews/alerts/favorites. It makes me feel all fuzzy inside and truly brightens up my day. :]

Ahhhhhh, another chapter! Sorry that this took longer to be uploaded but I been feeling lazy since I'm on break right now. I am such a lazy bum!

Calmzone1: To answer your question: No. Kurt does not have the key to the condo anymore. He left it when he moved out even though Sebastian wanted him to keep it (with the hopes that Kurt would regain his memories). =[

This chapter will include several snippets from Sebastian's life throughout his year in California. Like I stated in the last chapter, Sebastian's move to California was at the end of August/beginning of September (in 2015). Enjoy~~~

Chapter 9: Days Passed

Friday November 20th 7:12PM

What could Sebastian say besides TGIF? After a hectic week, he looked forward to lounging around in his house doing absolutely nothing. Its been a couple of months since he has been in California, allowing him to settle in nicely. As of right now, Sebastian was out of energy to do anything, including cook.

It would explain why he was currently sitting in front of his computer in his study, about to eat a microwavable TV dinner.

Sebastian first checks his email, seeing several from Rachel throughout the day. He thought it was unnecessary but Rachel insisted on updating him on the whereabouts or condition of Kurt. It pained Sebastian to hear about it but it also gave him some comfort, knowing that Kurt was safe and happy.

- Sebastian! We all miss you! Come visit us for Thanksgiving if you can. Kurt is cooking! Brody says hi.

- Kurt and I have been doing well at NYADA. He's been taking on more courses so we could graduate together as Class of 2016! Will we expect to see you at our graduation?

- I just noticed Blaine has been suspiciously visiting more often. No worries though...I will try to keep my eyes on him. TEAM KURTBASTIAN FTW!

Sebastian couldn't help chuckling at the last email. She didn't approve of Blaine ever since the whole cheating debacle. At least Rachel had his back, even if he was currently on the other side of the United States.

Next on the agenda was checking his Facebook account. Sebastian played all his games before going through all the information in his newsfeed. After scrolling through ridiculous status updates and Instagram pictures for the better of 10 minutes, a new post caught his attention.

At that moment, it was as if time froze and the world stopped turning...at least that was how Sebastian felt. This couldn't be happening.

Sebastian read it again for good measure, making sure he didn't read it wrong the first time. As he read it over and over, he had to accept the fact that he wasn't mistaken. His worst nightmare has finally happened. He had lost Kurt to that damn hobbit.

Sebastian looked down at his barely half-eaten TV dinner, already gone cold. Appetite far gone, he tossed it into the trashcan underneath his desk before shutting his laptop down. Since he couldn't punch Blaine in the face, Sebastian settled on throwing something. He grabbed the closest thing, arm dialing back, ready to chuck it into the wall. Before he could do so, realization hit him.

Bringing the item to his eyes, Sebastian was glad he caught himself before he did something he would regret. He caressed the picture frame gingerly with the swipe of his thumb before placing it back down at its rightful place on the desk.

It was a photo taken by Rachel of him and Kurt kissing at Times Square at midnight, ringing in the New Years as well as celebrating Sebastian's birthday and their second anniversary. He didn't notice the picture was packed along with his things until he unpacked upon arriving in California. Rachel must have snuck it in when he was busy packing elsewhere.

After thinking it over, Sebastian grabbed the picture in one hand as his other opened the bottom drawer to his desk. He looked at the picture once last time before putting it into the drawer and shutting it.

Thursday December 31st 11:59PM

On this late night, Sebastian finds himself sitting and nursing his fifth alcoholic drink in his hand. One of his co-workers had invited him over to his New Year's party. Finding no reason to refuse due to lack of plans, he didn't think it would hurt to attend. It also didn't hurt that there was going to be lots and lots of alcohol available to drown himself in. He watches as his co-workers and others mingle with each other, excitedly waiting for the ball to drop on the television screen.

No one bothers to talk to him besides the occasional brief greeting but Sebastian doesn't mind. Sure he has been working with a good number of these people for the past few months but he has never gotten close to anyone. No point in building friendships that were going to be put on hold or be ended inevitably when his year was up at the Californian firm.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!

Sebastian sighs and downs the rest of his drink as the couples in the room kiss one another. His mind wanders to New York...to Kurt without his permission. New York's New Year has already happened three hours ago but it still upsets him. Kurt was happy...with Blaine.

It was just three years ago when Sebastian became the happiest man alive. Starting a relationship with Kurt that he was sure would last. Now here he was. Despite being surrounded by numerous nameless people, he was essentially alone. Just like how he was back then. Before Kurt. Who knew in three years, everything could change so drastically.

A buzzing from his phone eventually broke Sebastian out of his reverie. Without thinking, he picked up the phone. "Hello."

"Hey, Sebastian...it's Kurt," he said, sounding sleepy. Sebastian couldn't believe his ears. Kurt was calling him. It perked him right up, erasing the buzz the alcohol had given him. He quickly made him way to a room far away from the noise made by the party-goers.

"H- Hey. Isn't it 3AM over there?"Sebastian asked, trying to keep his voice level. It would explain why Kurt sounded so tired.

"Yea, it is. I just wanted to say Happy Birthday and Happy New Year since I know California is three hours behind," he said followed by the faint sound of him yawning.

Sebastian could feel his stomach flutter at Kurt's thoughtfulness. "Thank you, that means a lot to me. I really want to keep talking but I think you need your beauty sleep, Princess. Next time though."

He listened as Kurt chuckled and let out another yawn before responding. "Sl- Sleep sounds good. You should really come visit when you're free. We all miss you...I- I miss you. Goodnight Sebastian."

"Goodnight Kurt."

Even though the phone call wasn't that long, it definitely was the highlight of the new year as well as his 21st birthday. He couldn't wipe the smile off his face to save his life even if he tried.

Thursday May 26th 8:56PM

Sebastian eyes his phone nervously for several seconds before flitting to the clock on the wall and back. He has been doing this for five minutes now, just trying to find a reason to not do it.

Along with Rachel's daily updates on Kurt, he has taken an interest - or obsession if you ask others - in tracking Kurt's Facebook account activity ever since New Year's. He knew it was not healthy to do this but he couldn't help it. He can stop now if he needs to. Might need to deactivate his account to do so but whatever.

That call on New Years and his birthday had given him hope even though it was just a sliver. The hope only grew with continued contact with Kurt through texts and emails even though those lost memories were still...lost.

Granted, seeing the numerous amount of sickening love proclamations and overly cute couple pictures with Blaine nauseated Sebastian to no end. It was killing him inside but he needed to know. He needed to know that Kurt was happy and to make sure Blaine was treating him correctly. It was the reason why he was putting himself through this torture.

Sebastian tried to move on. He really did. He went on several dates to do just that but in the end, none of them felt like the one. He would always be able to pick out certain unwanted attributes or characteristics that he used as excuses. To put it simply, none of them were Kurt.

Maybe he is already sleeping... Sebastian thought to himself. He looked at the clock once more to see it was about to turn 9 o'clock...which meant it was soon to be midnight in New York. He runs a hand through his freshly washed hair before picking up his phone, deciding to go though with his plan.

As he waits patiently for the call to be picked up, his breaths become shallow and quick. At the hello, Sebastian's breathing hitches and catches in his throat. "Hey, K- Kurt. It's-"

"Sebastian," Kurt supplied, a smile evident in his tone. "What may I owe this pleasure to?"

He couldn't keep a smile from spreading on his own lips at Kurt's light teasing. "I hope I didn't wake you. I just wanted to wish you a 'Happy 22nd Birthday'."

"I was just about to go to bed actually since Rachel is staying with Brody tonight," Kurt revealed. "You're the first one to say that to me. That means a lot, thank you."

Grateful that Kurt wasn't there to see it, a smug smirk was now in place of the smile from earlier. Sebastian was immensely pleased that he beat the "perfect" boyfriend to it. He felt like prodding a little bit now. "So...made any plans with Blaine?" He gritted out the name, knowing it would leave a bad taste in his mouth in its wake.

"Uh...," Kurt paused for a while before letting out a sigh. "Yea, tons of plans. Tons. Can't wait..." His words were suppose to indicate excitement but the tone was revealing just the opposite.

Even without being face to face, Sebastian knew Kurt was hiding something but he didn't want to force Kurt to divulge against his will. "Look, if there's anyone you need to talk to, just know I'm always here. I- I'm going to let you sleep now. Goodnight Kurt."

"Oh...okay than," Kurt's tone a bit sad that the conversation was being cut short but accepted it. "Goodnight Sebastian. Thanks again." And with that, the call was ended.

Wednesday August 31st 4:52PM

Sebastian was in the process of packing his things to leave work before his assistant notified him that Mr. Murphy, his boss, wanted to see him. As he arrived at the already opened door to the grand office, Mr. Murphy was going through some documents at his desk. Straightening his tie, Sebastian knocked lightly, revealing his presence.

"Come in Sebastian," he said as he tidied the papers into a neat stack and set them to the side. "Please have a seat."

Many thoughts swam through Sebastian's head as he made his way to the cushioned chair. Fearing the worst, he started to think of anything he could have done wrong the past few days but he was drawing an utter blank. Was it getting hot in there or was it just him? "You wanted to see me, sir?"

Mr. Murphy proceeds to nod and places his folded hands on top of the desk. It wasn't until he smiled that Sebastian felt like he could breathe again, easing his worrying mind.

"It has come to my attention that Friday will be your last day here," he started out. "I must say it was a pleasure having you work at this California branch of the firm."

Sebastian gives a genuine smile as he relaxes more. "The pleasure is all mine. I had a great year here, sir. Everyone has been so nice and I have learned a lot."

He watches as Mr. Murphy nods while twirling his thumbs around each other in his still folded hands. "I'm glad to hear that, Sebastian. Well I called you in here today to make you a proposition. Everyone has agreed that you have made a fine addition to the team and I have seen the stupendous work you've done."

Sebastian can only nod as his boss continued, waiting to see what he was leading up to. Mr. Murphy smiles once again before delivering the final blow, "I hope to keep you so...I am offering you to work here Sebastian, from now on. What do you say?"

Phew! This was a long chapter...the longest so far too, I believe! I'm not too sure but I THINK the next chapter will be the last and there MIGHT be an epilogue afterwards. Should I include an epilogue?! HELP ME DECIDE!

As always, reviews are very much appreciated.~~~
