It won't be that long until the next chapter, I swear! But to make up for the long time in between I made this chapter extra long for you guys! So I hope you all enjoy it and let me know what you think! :)
When Blaine awoke in the morning Kurt was already gone. Blaine could tell because when he rolled over to cuddle for some warmth in his cold bed, there was no one there to give it to him. He opened his eyes and saw that the bed was empty. So he laid there and listened for a while to see if he could hear the shower going or the coffee maker brewing. He didn't hear either. Blaine picked his head up and looked around. Where had Kurt gone?
"Kurt?" Blaine called out softly as he crawled out of bed. No response.
"Blaine?" Blaine heard his name being called from the living room.
A smile spread across his face when he remembered that Sebastian was out there. Blaine opened the door to his bedroom and walked out to see Sebastian rolling up the air mattress.
"You called?" Blaine asked with a smile, leaning against the door frame.
Sebastian looked up at Blaine and smiled.
"I thought I heard you wake up. I wasn't sure," Sebastian said, setting the mattress to the side and standing up.
"Yeah, I just woke up. Did you see Kurt leave this morning?" Blaine asked, walking towards Sebastian.
"Yeah I think I heard him leaving. I was still half asleep though. I heard paper rustling so maybe he left you a note or something," Sebastian said. "Don't you have any classes today?"
"No, my Thursdays and Fridays are free. I was originally supposed to get a job for these days but this year I've been using them for wedding details and such," Blaine explains, walking into the kitchen to see if Kurt left him a note. Sebastian followed closely behind. "Kurt usually wakes me up and we go out to breakfast before he goes, though."
Blaine found a note from Kurt taped to the coffee maker.
"Left for class. Let you sleep in today. See you later. Love, Kurt."
"Yeah, he went to class. Would you like some breakfast?" Blaine asked, crumpling up the note and turning to face Sebastian.
"You cook?" Sebastian asked with raised eyebrows.
"I do, though it's no where near the level of you're amazing pancakes I'm afraid," Blaine said with a smirk, opening up the fridge.
Sebastian chuckled.
"Okay then, Chef Anderson, what's your specialty?" Sebastian asked, taking a seat at the kitchen table.
"Well I don't mean to brag, but I make a mean bowl of cereal," Blaine said with the best straight face he could manage.
"Hmm, any other options?" Sebastian asked, smirking.
"I can make French toast pretty well," Blaine offers, looking at ingredients that are in the fridge.
"That's my favorite," Sebastian says with a smile.
Blaine peeks at Sebastian over his shoulder and smiles when he sees him smiling.
"Then that's what I shall make," Blaine announced, getting the proper ingredients out of the refrigerator.
Sebastian sat there and just watched Blaine as he bustled around the kitchen, preparing their breakfast. Blaine finished quickly and added powder sugar to the top for the finishing touch.
"Voilà!" Blaine announced and he sat the two plates on the table.
"Merci," Sebastian said with a smile.
"So do you really speak French or is that the only word you know?" Blaine asked with a smirk, putting the butter, syrup and utensils on the table.
"Eh bien en fait, quand j'avais environ treize ou que ma famille et moi avons déménagé à Paris et ya vécu pendant près de deux ans," Sebastian said to Blaine with a smug grin on his face.
Blaine stared at Sebastian with a look that was a mixture of want and adoration.
"Number one, that was about the sexiest thing ever. Number two, what did you say?" Blaine asked, taking a seat.
Sebastian couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
"I said 'Well actually, when I was about thirteen or so my family and I moved to Paris and lived there for about two years.'" Sebastian translated for Blaine.
"Really? Paris? That's amazing," Blaine said in amazement. "What made you all move there?"
"Well, my mom was a fashion designer and Paris is where every designer dreams of working. She actually got a job with some big fashion magazine there and so we moved. It wasn't very hard for me, I didn't have many friends and I didn't like my school in Ohio. I enjoyed Paris. I thought it was fun there," Sebastian explained to Blaine as he poured syrup on his breakfast.
"So what, she doesn't work there anymore?" Blaine asked, cutting up his French toast.
"Um, sh-she actually died while we lived there. T-That's why my father and I moved back to Ohio. The only reason we went to Paris was for her and my dad still had his job here that he tried to maintain overseas so we just came back…" Sebastian said, looking down at his plate.
"Oh Sebastian… I'm so sorry, I had no idea. Were you two close?" Blaine asked, hoping he wasn't hurting Sebastian even more by asking.
"Y-Yeah, we were. She was all I really had growing up. My dad was always working, I didn't have many friends. There was only her," Sebastian said. He wasn't sure why it was so easy for him to talk to Blaine. But it was. He hadn't talked about his mother in years. He even tried to avoid thinking about her when he could.
"I'm so sorry, Sebastian. I don't really know how it feels to lose a mom but I do know what it feels like to have no one. No one cared about me growing up, not even my mom. She was too obsessed in her book club and the country club. Sometimes it's like she wasn't even there. Or my mom at all. I had my brother occasionally. When he felt like being a good brother. Our relationship was strained for a while but now we're better," Blaine said, not sure while he was rambling on while Sebastian was baring his soul to him.
"I never had any siblings. Just my parents. Sometimes I think my dad was so harsh and unkind to me after she died because I lived… Cause…I was there when she died. It was a car accident. And I was in the passenger seat. But…the car struck on her side and all that happened to me was a broken arm. Plus…everyone says I look just like her. I think that's why it was so hard for my dad to look at me. You're lucky you have a brother, though. I always wanted one," Sebastian said, looking up at Blaine and giving him a small smile.
"Cooper's great. He's flying in on Monday. Maybe you'll get to meet him," Blaine offered, taking a bite of his toast.
"Yeah, maybe," Sebastian said, taking a bite of his own, not wanting to think about the fact that Cooper was flying in for the wedding.
"You know…Kurt lost his mom when he was young," Blaine said quietly, not sure if that would make Sebastian feel better or worse.
Sebastian looked up at Blaine.
"Really? He did? How old was he?" Sebastian asked, not sure why he was so interested by that.
"He was only eight. His mom was sick for a long time before she finally went. He just watched her deteriorate…" Blaine said sadly.
"That's awful. That has to be the hardest thing. Watching someone that you love the most just…slipping through your fingers and there being nothing you can do about it…" Sebastian said, tapping his fork against his plate lightly.
"Yeah…" Blaine said, looking down at his plate.
"Okay, enough of all this sappy talk. If you don't have class today, we should do something," Sebastian said, taking a mouthful of French toast.
"Yeah, that sounds great. What should we do?" Blaine asked, finishing up his plate of food.
"Well, what do you have around here? There's just about everything, isn't there?" Sebastian asked, wiping his mouth off on a napkin.
"Well…" Blaine said as he thought, picking up both of their plates and taking them to the sink. "We have Time Square, Central Park, Coney Island, The Statue of Liberty, although that's technically in New Jersey…"
"Coney Island? Isn't that an amusement park?" Sebastian asked, looking over at Blaine.
"It sure is," Blaine said, turning the water on in the sink.
"I've never been to one of those before. Well, unless you count going to Disney World when I was one year old. I don't really remember that though," Sebastian said.
"You've never been to an amusement park?!" Blaine asked, turning around to look at Sebastian with wide and surprised eyes.
"Nope," Sebastian said with a chuckle.
"Well then that settles it. We have to go!" Blaine said, throwing the towel down on the counter.
"That sounds like fun," Sebastian said with a smile, standing up.
"Well then let's get dressed and catch the train," Blaine said with a smile, leading Sebastian out of the kitchen.
"Train?" Sebastian asked.
"Mhmm, the subway. I'm guessing you've never been on it?" Blaine asked.
"Just the one in France when we lived there. But somehow I don't think it's really the same thing," Sebastian said as he followed Blaine.
"It's really not as bad as everyone makes it out to be," Blaine said, opening the door to his bedroom. "Just give me ten minutes and I'll be ready."
"Ten? Have to reapply your gel, sexy?" Sebastian asked with a smirk, making Blaine blush.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I do," Blaine said, sticking his tongue out at Sebastian playfully. Sebastian chuckled softly and walked over to the hall closet and grabbed some things out of his bag to get ready.
Sebastian managed to get ready in three minutes and just walked aimlessly around the apartment. He smiled when he came across a picture of Blaine from when he was young. Probably around six or so. He was sitting on top of a slide, looking down at whoever was holding the camera. He was missing a tooth right in front and his curls were sticking out wildly all over the place. He looked truly happy. He looked so carefree and his little smile was just breathtaking.
"I was six there," Blaine said, coming up behind Sebastian silently.
Sebastian turned his head around to look at Blaine with a smile.
"You look absolutely adorable," Sebastian commented.
"That's the one picture my mother insists I keep out around the apartment. She doesn't usually do warm and fuzzy things that shows she cares but she does get emotional when she sees that picture around. It's her favorite. That's why I like to keep it out. I hate my hair in it though… Those damn curls are so wild. That's why I always wear gel," Blaine explains as he grabs his keys off of the small table near the front door.
"Well I like it," Sebastian says with a smile, heading towards the front door.
They walk out the door and down the street to the bus stop.
"I thought we were taking the subway?" Sebastian asked.
"We are but we have to take a bus to the right station to get on the right train to get to Coney Island. New York can be very complicated until you get the hang of it," Blaine said with slight smirk on his lips.
Sebastian smiled and wrapped his arm around Blaine's shoulders. Blaine tensed up initially at the contact, not expecting it. But then Blaine smiled to himself, a blush pooling up in his cheeks. Blaine leaned into Sebastian, resting his head against Sebastian's shoulder. Sebastian smiled down at Blaine.
The bus then pulled up and Blaine stood up straight. He took Sebastian's hand and pulled him onto the bus with him, pulling him into the first pair of empty seats he could find.
"How far away is the train station?" Sebastian asked once the bus started moving.
"About eight minutes by bus. Then from the train to Coney Island takes about fifty minutes," Blaine tells Sebastian.
Sebastian nodded and absentmindedly took Blaine's hand into his own. Blaine's blush reappeared on his face as he looked down at their hands.
"Is this okay?" Sebastian asked, being cautious of overstepping his boundaries.
"Y-Yeah, it's fine," Blaine said with a shy smile. He knew he probably shouldn't be holding Sebastian's hand but he couldn't bring himself to pull his hand away.
The ride passed by quickly to the both of them. They got off of the bus and found the correct train to take to the island.
"Are you nervous?" Blaine asked as they were underground, waiting for the train to stop in front of them.
"No, why would I be?" Sebastian asked.
"Some people just get nervous down here," Blaine said with a slight shrug.
"I'm a tough guy, killer," Sebastian said with that smirk Blaine had decided he was totally in love with.
"Okay then, tough guy," Blaine said with a wink, pulling Sebastian onto the train with him when it finally stopped in front of them.
They sat together in the corner just talking quietly about nothing. Just a casual conversation and both of them enjoyed it immensely. The train finally stopped at Coney Island and both of the boys got off, hand in hand.
"How much is it to get in?" Sebastian asked and Blaine rolled in his eyes in response. Sebastian just wanted to pay for everything, it seemed.
"It's free. But you have to buy tickets to get on the rides and pay to play the games and such," Blaine explains.
"How much is it for the tickets?" Sebastian asked, taking out his wallet.
"Oh please, you're not paying. I am," Blaine said, bringing them up to the ticket booth.
"No!" protested Sebastian. All he got in return was a smirk from Blaine as he handed the man behind the counter his credit card. Sebastian huffed. "Fine, then I'm paying when we play games."
"Deal," Blaine said as he handed Sebastian half of the tickets that he bought.
"What's good here? What should we do first?" Sebastian asked, looking around and noticing how empty it was. Probably because it was Thursday afternoon and most people were in school or at work.
"Well, do you like roller coasters?" Blaine asked, retaking Sebastian's hand in his own.
"Mhmm, I sure do," Sebastian said, nodding and looking down at Blaine with a smile.
"Then we have to ride The Cyclone! It's the oldest wooden roller coaster in the country that's still in operation!" Blaine exclaimed, resembling an excited five year old. Sebastian couldn't help but smile adoringly at him.
"That sounds amazing. Let's go!" Sebastian said, trying to reach Blaine's level of excitement even though he was sure nothing could compete.
Blaine practically dragged Sebastian over to the roller coaster and they got in the short line together. It was only about a ten minute wait before they were seated on the ride. The car began to go and it began its long, creaky journey up the track. Blaine looked around nervously as the car squeaked its way up the track. Sebastian wrapped his arm around Blaine protectively and Blaine leaned into the taller man's embrace.
"Are you nervous?" Sebastian asked in a mocking tone, repeating what Blaine asked him earlier.
Blaine glared at him softly and pushed on his chest.
"Oh shut it," Blaine complained as they finally reached the top. The car moved over the tip and began to roll down the track. Blaine and Sebastian were screaming at the top of their lungs as it went down, laughing wildly at each other.
By the time they arrived back at the bottom, they were both out of breath from all of the screaming and laughing. They climbed out of the cart and leaned against each other as they were both dizzy. They were still laughing and trying to catch their breath as they made their way down the path to another ride.
"What next?" Blaine asked.
For the next couple of hours they explored the entirety of the park. Blaine managed to get Sebastian to come on the Ferris wheel with him even though he wasn't particularly fond of heights. And Sebastian managed to coerce Blaine to come into the haunted house with him even though Blaine hated those. Blaine spent the whole time clinging to Sebastian's arm and hiding his face in Sebastian's side. About half way through the house, Sebastian wrapped his arms around Blaine so he could properly bury his head in Sebastian's chest as they quickly made their way to the exit.
Once they decided they needed a break from the rides and sideshows, they made their way over to get some food. Sebastian insisted that he pay and Blaine couldn't say no to him once he whipped out his puppy dog eyes. They ordered two corndogs and two Cokes and they sat down at a picnic table to eat.
"This is really fun, Blaine. I'm glad we came," Sebastian said before taking another bite of his corn dog.
"It is, isn't it?" Blaine replied with a smile.
"What should we do next?" Sebastian asked.
"I don't know, what do you- Whoa! Look at that!" Blaine said, abandoning his food at the table and walking over to a game booth where a giant Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle stuffed animal hung from the top of the booth.
Sebastian saw what he was looking at and rolled his eyes playfully at how childishly adorable Blaine could be at times. Sebastian threw the remainder of their lunch away as he walked over to join Blaine at the booth.
"How can I win that?" Blaine asked the man behind the booth.
"You have to win five times. To win, you have to knock over those three bottles with a baseball. You get three baseballs per dollar," the main instructed them.
Blaine pouted.
"What's wrong, Blaine?" Sebastian asked, noticing the expression on Blaine's face.
"I stink at baseball. And throwing. I've always been better at things like soccer, boxing, stuff like that," Blaine told him.
"Well…" Sebastian said, shrugging his light jacket off and placing it on the counter. "I have a great arm. Lacrosse for years," Sebastian told Blaine with a wink.
Blaine smiled at Sebastian and picked his jacket up off of the counter and held it in his arms so it wouldn't get in Sebastian's way.
Sebastian handed the money to the man who gave him three baseballs. Sebastian threw the first one and missed, just barely though. Sebastian huffed, wanting to impress Blaine. Sebastian picked the second one up and tossed it in between his two hands for a moment before throwing it at the bottles, knocking them down completely.
"Yay!" Blaine cheered and Sebastian pumped his arm slightly in victory.
The man set the bottles up again and Sebastian paid him another dollar, giving him four baseballs in total now.
Sebastian picked up the next ball and threw it at the bottles, knocking them all down again.
"Yes," Sebastian mumbled under his breath while Blaine started jumping up and down like an excited little kid. Sebastian smiled at him before picking up another baseball.
"Only three more, Sebby!" Blaine squealed excitedly which made Sebastian smile.
He threw the next baseball at the bottles and made it. Only two more now. The next one knocked the bottles down as well.
"Yay! Only one more, baby! U-Uh, I mean Sebby…" Blaine said, blushing a deep, deep red. Sebastian turned to him and gave him a smile before picking up the last ball.
He threw the ball and it only knocked down two bottles.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! I messed you up," Blaine said sadly, pouting somewhat.
Sebastian smiled and pulled Blaine into his arms.
"You did not. You encouraged me actually," Sebastian said, letting Blaine go.
Blaine smiled shyly up at him, a blush staining his cheeks yet again.
"Three more please," Sebastian said, handing the man another dollar.
The man complied and handed Sebastian three more baseballs.
"Here, come here," Sebastian said, gesturing for Blaine to come over.
Blaine's eyes widened slightly and he pointed to himself as if to ask 'me?'. Sebastian smiled and nodded, pulling Blaine up by him gently by his wrist.
"Now you're going to help me with this one, okay?" Sebastian said, pulling Blaine in front of him and placing the baseball in Blaine's hand.
"Uh, are you sure?" Blaine asked.
"Positive," Sebastian replied. "You can do this."
Blaine nodded and held Sebastian's jacket in his other arm as Sebastian pulled Blaine's right arm back, getting ready to throw.
"Just let it glide off your fingertips," Sebastian instructed as Blaine wound up his arm. Blaine nodded and took a deep breath.
"Ready and…throw," Sebastian said and Blaine threw his arm forward, the baseball hitting right in the middle and knocking down all three bottles.
"We did it!" Blaine screamed in delight, raising his arm in the hair in victory.
"You did it!" Sebastian said, smiling at Blaine.
"Nuh uh, you helped me," Blaine said, poking Sebastian's chest.
Sebastian smiled at Blaine.
"Here's your prize," the man said, putting the giant stuffed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle on top of the counter.
Blaine grinned and handed Sebastian's jacket back to him before taking his prize and hugging it tightly to his chest.
"Thank you so much, Sebastian!" Blaine said happily.
"You're more than welcome, Blaine," Sebastian said, smiling at Blaine. Sebastian almost froze when he saw the same smile on Blaine's face that he had just seen on that little boy in the picture back at Blaine's apartment. It was carefree and full of pure happiness. Sebastian had never seen him wearing that smile before now and Sebastian knew it was the most amazing thing he had ever seen.
"Oh, let's go play that game now!" Blaine said, taking Sebastian's hand and bringing him over to a game where you had to shoot water guns at a target until the balloons filled up all the way.
"Oh, I'm great at this game," Sebastian said as they walked over to it.
"Is there anything you're not great at?" Blaine asked, smirking.
"Wouldn't you like to know," Sebastian said with a smirk of his own, throwing a wink Blaine's way.
Blaine blushed yet again and playfully shoved Sebastian's chest.
"One game for the two of you?" the lady at this booth asked.
"Yep," Sebastian said, putting the money down on the counter.
The lady smiled and set the game up. Blaine placed his already won prize down at his feet as he picked up the water gun.
"Okay when the buzzer starts, aim and fire at the target," the lady instructed.
The buzzer started and both Blaine and Sebastian started to shoot at the target. Sebastian glanced over and saw that Blaine's balloon was blown up more than his was and Sebastian just couldn't have that. A smirk appeared on Sebastian's face as he turned and started to shoot the water at Blaine.
Blaine squealed and jumped as the cold water hit him, immediately turned and started shooting water at Sebastian as well. Sebastian laughed and turned his head so it wouldn't hit him in the eyes.
"Now I'm gonna win!" Sebastian yelled at started shooting at the target again.
"Hey! No fair!" Blaine called with a laugh, going back to the target as well.
Sebastian looked over and saw that now Blaine was losing. So Sebastian started shooting just to the side of the target so it looked like the water was going in but it actually wasn't.
The buzzer and light went off over Blaine and he started to jump up and down in victory.
"Yes! I won!" Blaine exclaimed and started to do a little happy dance. Sebastian watched him with an amused expression on his face.
The lady smiled at them, knowing that Sebastian lost on purpose.
"Which prize would you like, hon?" the lady asked Blaine.
Blaine looked over them carefully.
"Um…can I have the brown dog with the green eyes please?" Blaine asked.
"Sure thing," the lady said and handed the stuffed dog to him. "You two are an adorable couple. Hang on to each other," the lady said with a wink.
Blaine blushed and Sebastian just smiled at her as Blaine picked up his other prize and they walked away, not bothering to correct her.
"This is for you," Blaine said, handing the stuffed dog to him.
"No, Blaine you won that. You keep it," Sebastian said.
"Well you won me this," Blaine said gesturing to the giant turtle. "So I wanted to win this for you."
"Thank you, Blaine," Sebastian said with a smile, taking the dog from Blaine.
"I picked that one because it reminds me of you. He has brown hair and beautiful green eyes," Blaine explained with a smile.
"That's really sweet," Sebastian said with a smile. "What's your middle name?"
"Devon. Why?" Blaine asked curiously.
"Because that's his new name," Sebastian said with a smile. "He's Devon Smythe."
"I would change my Turtle's name but you can't exactly change Donatello's name. It just doesn't happen," Blaine said, shaking his head.
Sebastian chuckled as they kept walking towards the exit. They walked out to the front gate and just stood there for a moment.
"This was nice," Blaine said, turning to face Sebastian and looking up at him.
"Yeah, it really was," Sebastian said, smiling down at Blaine.
"We should do it again sometime," Blaine said.
"Blaine, that's what you say when you've just had a horrible first date," Sebastian said with a chuckle.
"Well it wasn't horrible," Blaine said, leaving out the "date" part.
"I'm glad it wasn't. I like spending time with you," Sebastian said, mentally kicking himself for actually expressing his feelings.
"Yeah, I like it too," Blaine said, unknowingly taking a step closer to Sebastian.
Sebastian and Blaine were so close and neither noticed that they were just getting closer and closer to one another. Before they knew it, their faces were less than an inch apart.
And then their lips were connected.
The kiss was soft and romantic.
Blaine felt fire as his lips kissed Sebastian's. Sebastian's lips were so soft against his own, moving like they were made to kiss him. Blaine didn't ever want to stop.
Sebastian saw fireworks behind his closed lids. He was intoxicated by the taste of Blaine's lips. Sebastian had never felt such intensity and such passion in such a soft kiss.
They pulled apart and looked at each other.
"W-Wow…" Blaine stuttered.
"T-That was amazing," Sebastian said, smiling.
"I-I really liked that…" Blaine said, smiling as well.
"B-But we shouldn't have done it…" Sebastian admitted.
"Y-You're right," Blaine agreed, looking down.
"But it felt right," Sebastian said quietly.
"It did," Blaine responded immediately, his head snapping back up to look at Sebastian.
Sebastian tentatively leaned in again, seeing if Blaine would be okay with another kiss. Blaine willingly leaned in and pressed his lips against Sebastian's.
This kiss was needier, yet still soft and sweet. Blaine backed up, pulling Sebastian with him by the zipper of the jacket that he had put back on. Blaine leaned up against a light post and Sebastian leaned against him.
They stood there kissing in the fading light of the day, not keeping track of the time at all.
