A/n: Sorry it has been ages. I have had problems with my landlord. Apparently my rent wasn't paid for the month of December and I have no idea why. Been trying to sort it out, yet to no avail. I can only hope that it doesn't happen again, I really like my flat and I certainly don't want to leave it. I want to stay for another year. Which reminds me I need to see about a possible renewal of tenancy. Hopefully I can stay one more year at least.
Sebastian couldn't really believe he had just left Blaine at home in such a position. It wasn't really fair, but at the same time it was certainly going to make the rest of the evening more interesting. It was most likely about to actually turn to his advantage. Perhaps it was a little strange that out of all the things he had grown to like, when it came to Blaine, Blaine taking advantage of him and the younger being the more dominant. Sometimes he just had the biggest craving for it and other times he couldn't stand it. Perhaps that was the way that it was always going to be. Not that he wanted to change that, of course he didn't He loved that guy more than anything. The sex didn't even matter to him anymore. Something that he never ever thought would happen to him. He had always lived on sex. Yet with Blaine it wasn't a necessity anymore, just a bonus. Being in his company and having his arms around him was more than enough. God, he really was turning into one soppy git.
Thankfully the shop wasn't to crowded and Sebastian was able to whizz through it and quickly acquire the food items that he desired. He certainly had a few plans for later on tonight. It was certainly going to prove to be one eventful night, especially if he got things right and followed the plans he had been planning in his head for the past month. Scribbling notes on scrap bits of paper and stuffing them into his underwear drawer to keep them from the prying eyes of his boyfriend.
It was barely scraping fifteen minutes of him having left the house before he returned and dumped the food bags in the kitchen before legging it upstairs to Blaine.
"About time. You realise how many times I have practically orgasmed. I swear you had better take this thing out me right now, otherwise I think I am actually going to die of pleasure." Blaine said to him the moment he walked in the bedroom.
Sebastian grinned and leant down to kiss him firmly on the lips, taking pity on him. "Well we wouldn't want that now would we?" he mused to him, reaching down between his legs and pulling out the vibrator, turning it off and dropping it onto the bed. "I suppose you want me to untie you as well?" he teased
Blaine just nodded his head. "Well my hands at least. I want to wrap my arms around you"
Sebastian's face enveloped in a soft smile. "I think you have been a good boy and been tied up long enough." he replied as he unlocked the handcuffs that held both Blaine's legs and hands in place. Tossing them onto the bed next to Blaine as well. "So how many times?" he asked him as Blaine instantly pulled a fully clothed Sebastian into a hug.
It didn't seem to matter that he was still stark naked and recovering from multiple orgasms that Sebastian hadn't been there to witness. He simply just a shaking wreck. Here was certainly no way that he was ever going to let Sebastian leave him in that way ever again.
"Three" Blaine said simply pulling Sebastian into a kiss and wrapping his legs around him, his hands resting against the the older boys arse and giving it a gentle squeeze. "I noticed something on the calender today. You realise what day it is?" Blaine dropped into the conversation. It wouldn't surprise him if Sebastian had forgotten, it certainly wouldn't be the first time.
"What day is it?" Sebastian whispered.
"Our anniversary. The anniversary of the day we first met. The day I fell in love with you. Even if I was to stupid to see it."
"Really?" Sebastian gasped sitting up instantly. "Fuck, sorry. It can't be. That means I have been with you for..." he paused for a moment, calculating the amount of years in his head. "Bloody hell, seven years. That is insane. You sure it's today?"
Blaine nodded and looked down at the floor. He felt a little betrayed. Sebastian appeared to have once again forgotten their anniversary. Was he the only one that really remember all this stuff anymore? Did it really matter? Or was it just an old fashioned thing that, to Sebastian, had become boring and childish. "You forgot. Didn't you? Or do you just not care about it anymore?" he said climbing to his feet and pulling on his dressing gown.
Sebastian swallowed and shook his head. "No, of course it matters to me. I was just messing with you. I have something for you. Its under the bed, you have no idea how hard it was to keep it all hidden from you."
His words caused a smile to spread onto Blaine's face and the younger of the two leant downwards to press his lips briefly to his boyfriends lips, before heading over to his wardrobe and pulled out a huge wrapped parcel, that could easily have been half the size of Blaine himself. It was a rather odd shape and left Sebastian wondering what on earth it could be.
"Before you open it I need to explain it to you. Cast you mind back to the day that I actually left Kurt for you. Now think about it. What were you watching on the TV when I texted you asking if you could come round, despite the fact I had previously told you in a phone call that I felt like I needed to be on my own for a while."
Sebastian just looked at him, a rather confused look on his face. How was he supposed to remember that? He hadn't a clue. It was years ago, yet apparently Blaine remembered the smallest of things like that. He simply shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know. Probably some random crap that was on the TV at the time or one of those kids programmes that we used to watch curled up together on the sofa."
Blaine sighed and shook his head. "How about a hint?" he offered, watching as Sebastian gently nodded his head. "A documentary about a certain animal. The first in a series that you actually became rather obsessed with."
It seemed that was enough to trigger something off in Sebastian's mind. It brought a smile to his face. "Oh that series about the Polar bears. Wait, you haven't wrapped a polar bear up for me have you? You realise how dangerous those creatures are. I knew I should have made you watch the series with me instead of sulking off to do the dishes for an hour or what ever it was that you got up to."
"Sebastian, just shut up and open it will you." Blaine said to him.
Sebastian laughed and pulled off the tag that was attached to the huge present.
To my darling Spider-monkey. I love you with all my heart and know that no matter what we will always be together. Lots of love Blaine. Xxxx
"I missed you calling me Spider-Monkey. I still remember day you came up with that." Sebastian said with a smile and leaning forwards to kiss Blaine once again.
Not wasting another second Sebastian started to pull off the wrapping paper. It soon became clear to him that it was indeed a huge polar bear that Blaine had managed to get for him, of course not a real one. A huge cuddly toy polar bear. This was simply amazing and he found himself speechless.
"Wow" he managed to say after a few long moments. "I couldn't love anything more. How the hell did you keep this one hidden? Thank you" he grinned at him tossing the shed load of paper to one side of the room and wrapping Blaine up in his arms pressing a lingering kiss to his lips.
"Don't ask. I bought it and hid it at Rachel's place until last night. When we broke up I thought I could keep it to remind me of you, but anyway once you fell asleep last night I rang her and arranged for her to bring it around. Trust me I was the hardest thing to wrap in the world it took me and Rachel about an hour between us. I was terrified that you were going to wake up. We had to carefully sneak it upstairs, past you sleeping and stuffed it into my wardrobe."
"I love you so much right now, Blaine Devon Anderson." he smiled once more kissing his boyfriends head. "Guessing that you are dying to have your present now, right?"
Blaine nodded his head up and down furiously. He felt like an excited school child about win an award. He knew that anything Sebastian gave him he love with all his heart. It was a way of showing him his true feelings. Sebastian always seemed to put so much thought and effort into any gift that he ever gave to him and Blaine knew that this year was bound to be no different.
Sebastian smiled and bent over the side of the bed, where he was still perched, and reached underneath, pulling out a series of envelopes. Each envelope had a number on it. He handed them to Blaine.
"Read them in order. Each envelope represents something that happened in each year that we have known one another." Sebastian said to him, after receiving a rather confused look from Blaine.
"Then why is their eight envelopes? If we have known one another for seven years."
"You will see. Just read through them Blaine. It will all start to make sense."
Blaine nodded his head and lay back against the pillows of the bed and carefully opened the first envelope, pulling out the contents within. A single piece of paper, with small letter written upon it in Sebastian's handwriting.
Sebastian rose to his feet. "Catch you later, once you have read them, I love you" he grinned at him, pressing a kiss to Blaine's lips before heading to the door and leaving the room.
"I love you too, Spider- Monkey" Blaine replied, making a mental note there and then to remember to keep using that nickname.
Blaine watched him leave. For a few moments his eyes remained fixed upon the empty door frame, almost expecting him to come back inside the room. Yet when he didn't Blaine decided to get himself lost in Sebastian's Anniversary present to him. The first letter read:
The Year we met. - I don't know if I have ever told you this before, well not in these exact words but the moment we met I fell in love with you. A love that in time has only grown stronger. I am still falling in love with you even now. I constantly think about you. Although I can tell you something that you didn't know about the day we first met. Remember that conversation we had after the Uptown Girl performance, the one in the Dalton Cafeteria? Well when I left I lied about Lacrosse Practice. I did have it that day, just until the afternoon, I just hid in the library until you walked past and then headed back in the cafeteria and took the cup you were drinking from. It's in my underwear drawer if you don't believe me go and look.
Curiosity got the better of him. Did Sebastian mean the underwear drawer back at their place or the underwear drawer in this house, in Ohio. It still seemed rather amazing, to him, that a boy of Sebastian's age had managed to accumulate enough money to have two houses. He knew he had to take a look. Reaching out he pulled open the drawer and sure enough a cup lay on top of the underwear that lay in there. It made him wonder if Sebastian had been planning this all along. Had he purposely brought the cup secretly from their place and planted it here for him to find upon reading the letter? He couldn't be sure. Although he planned on asking him about it later on. Right now he had to read the rest of the letters
Our Second Year – The Year we kicked your ass at Regionals. Anyway, it also held the day you and your parents fell out, about the day you found out that you were adopted I made a promise to myself, at that exact moment. A promise that I would one day bring the three of you back together and back on speaking terms. That day is today. Yet before you get mad at me, just look in the other boxes, yeah?
That letter had him slightly confused. What was Sebastian up to? What was he planning? Some kind of family Reunion that taking place today, now that they were back in Ohio? It didn't really make much sense. Of course he had missed his parents. They may not have been his real parents yet that didn't mean he loved them any less. They were the only parents that he had ever known. There had been times over the years that he had considered calling them, but his stubborn streak had proved to strong.
Our Third Year – Remember that night in the hotel room, whilst checking out the college? Well I still have that rose you gave me that night. The rose with the words 'Happy Anniversary' written on the petals, I still can't really figure out how you managed to do that without destroying the rose. It must have taken you hours. Although it is a little wilted and probably dead by now. I have just never had the heart to throw it out.
Blaine smiled, remembering that day like it was yesterday. He hadn't realised Sebastian still had that rose. It proved that he really was a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart. Even if he never liked admitting it out loud. Sometimes it was merely just the things that he did, without realising it. Little things, like finding out now that Sebastian had kept the rose for all of these years, made him love that little bit more.
Our fourth Year - Now it was a struggle to think of anything of great convenience to this whole note writing thing that happened this year. Yet I finally came up with this. The day I got a job. You were worried that it was going to drive us apart. You seemed to have gotten it into your head that I was going to become one of those work obsessed boyfriends that only came home for food and the occasional hour of sleep. So after my first day at work I came home to find you'd cooked us both a romantic dinner and scattered rose petals all the way up the stairs leading to the bedroom. Sometimes you really are adorable.
Despite the fact that Sebastian wasn't in the room with him at the moment Blaine still cringed a little at the words on the fourth letter. Was he really like that? Really that worried that Sebastian was going to leave him that he had gone to such a length to keep him interested after one mere day away from him? That was just insane. Swallowing he picked up the fifth letter. This certainly had to be the most interesting gift he had ever received from Sebastian and it was starting to make him wonder what it was leading up to. He knew Sebastian and something with him always lead up to something else, generally sex. Yet this had him completely confused as to what he was going to achieve or receive at the end of these eight envelopes.
Now this is a little embarrassing. Remember our fifth year together? Remember what it entailed. Think about it. What happened on the 31st December of that year? You proposed to me. Remember that? You proposed to me and I said no. It took hours to get through to you that it wasn't because I was having an affair and it wasn't because I didn't love you. I didn't want to marry you simply down to the fact that I wanted to have more of a life for us before we got married. I wanted to ensure that we could really afford everything properly. That I could afford to take care of you and give you everything that you wanted in being my husband.
Yeah, I was lying to you then. I have in fact been lying to you for almost two years now. Yet before you kick off and jump up from wherever you are sat reading these letters, just read the letter in envelope number 6, Please. I love you.
Blaine found himself having to read through the last few sentence again. Especially the words - Yeah, I was lying to you then. I have in fact been lying to you for almost two years now. - What was that supposed to mean? Sebastian had spent the best part of two years lying to him? Lying to him about what exactly? He could only guess it was the reason that he had refused to marry him. Was he having an affair? Was he really going to confess to that in the next letter? Was that what this was all about? Blaine wanted to simply head downstairs and find Sebastian, throw letter number five at him and demand to know what the hell he meant by it. Only he had a horrible feeling that if he did that he wouldn't get an answer. So maybe the only option was to actually read letter number six and make his assumptions from that.
Sorry about letter number 5, please don't bite my head off. I wasn't lying to you in a bad way for a change. It was simply down to the fact that all the fabrics that I wanted to collect took the best part of a year. I wanted something to give to you as a wedding present. An idea that someone at work gave me, although it took a little longer than I expected and I realised that come our anniversary, the day I was planning on getting down on one knee and asking you to be my husband, I hadn't gotten you anything. So I pretended to have forgotten and gave my greatest apologies. Yet the real truth behind it all was that there was a half put together patchwork quilt hidden right in the very back of my wardrobe. Sewn together by me and a friend from work, she had family that lived in Ohio and visited them a couple of times a year, each time she went I asked her to bring something to sew into the quilt. I couldn't risk going there myself to often. I was afraid that you'd leave me for thinking I was having some kind of affair. Yes you can have it and yes you can see it, but firstly you have to read the final letter in the next box.
A patchwork quilt? Wedding Present? Where was this leading? Sebastian really was full of mysteries and Blaine found that sometimes he really didn't understand him. He always seemed to manage to do the unexpected. Just when he thought he knew exactly what the guy was up to he did the total opposite. Before he made any conclusion ins his mind he knew that he was going to have to read the second to last letter, maybe that would give him some answers as to what exactly was going on in that boys head. What he had planned. Was he even planning anything?
This year, our seventh year together. I cheated on you, but you already knew that. I wrote this note just a few hours ago I guess I thought I should wait to see if anything of any significance would really happen, yet it didn't. Nothing good anyway. So I thought I would take the opportunity to tell you just how much you mean to me. Blaine Anderson, I love you. I have l loved you for seven long years. I never thought I could love anyone again, then I met you. You changed my life and brought me hope again. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I would do anything for you. Anything to make you happy. My life literally revolves around. I think about you ever second of every day. I can't imagine ever losing you. Do me a favour and never leave me. Ever. Just put up with me, the same way you have done for seven years. Don't give up on me. I love you. I might be a pain in the arse and right now you probably hate me for all those lies and secrets that you now know I have been keeping from you. Yet hopefully you can see why. Now open letter number 8.
Blaine could feel his stomach churning. He swallowed. A part of him was too scared to open the final letter. What if it wasn't something that he wanted to read? His fingers were trembling as he slowly pulled open the envelope and pulled out the sheet of paper that rested in there. For a few moments he couldn't bring himself to open it. Finally the suspense got to much. Whether it was good or bad news he wanted to know ASAP. What was the point in delaying it any longer. Taking a deep breath he opened the letter up and read the words that were en-scripted for a final time in Sebastian's handwriting.
What would you say to me now if I got down on one knee and asked you to marry me? Make your decision. Then come and find me and we can find out.
Blaine gasped and leapt off the bed, almost falling over in the process. Was this really going to happen? Was Sebastian going to ask him to marry him? This was mad. Had he spent two years planning all this? The Patchwork quilt, the series of letters. It was the sweetest and most amazing thing that anyone had ever done for him and he knew that this was a day he was never ever going to forget, for as long as he lived.
Running down the stairs he skidded into the Living Room. "Sebastian?" he called out in a rather breathless voice.
Sebastian's head peered around the kitchen door. A huge grin was plastered upon it. "You read them? All of them?" he asked. Sounding strangely calm and confident. Of course inside he was a nervous wreck. There was so many different routes that this conversation could go and only one of them was the one that his heart truly desired.
Blaine couldn't utter a single word, he simply nodded his head and walked towards him. Wrapping his arms around Sebastian he pulled him into a hug. His warm bod against his gave him a tingling feeling from his head to his toes. A few minutes passed before Sebastian pulled away from him and took a step back.
Blaine's heart was pounding in his chest as Sebastian reached into his pocket and pulled out a small box. The older boy knelt downwards, on one knee, and took Blaine's hand into his. "Blaine Anderson. Will you marry me?" he asked him
Once again Blaine nodded his head "Yes, of course" he replied
Sebastian skilfully opened the box with one hand and slipped a ring onto Blaine's finger, a simple silver band, engraved with a date, the date they first met and both their initials.
As he rose to his feet again Blaine leapt into his arms and kissed him. The kiss lasted a couple minutes. Tongues battling for dominance over each other, each one failing miserably to win.
"Can I have my quilt now?" Blaine asked as he pulled away from him. "Or do I have to wait until our Wedding? What did you mean about my parents and this being the day that I'd be with them again?"
Sebastian smiled softly and nodded his head. "Well I had to ask your parents permission to marry you and when they said yes I told them everything. The date I was proposing and the whole letters idea. Now if it's okay with you we are having dinner with them tonight at 7:30 in Breadsticks. We don't have to go. It's entirely up to you. Oh and your quilt is in my wardrobe, tucked away in the left side corner."
"I do want to. I want to show off my fiancé to the world." he grinned at him, pressing a quick kiss to his lips and running off back upstairs to locate the quilt.
Pulling out the wardrobe he threw it out and dropped it to the floor, lying it out flat to see it properly. It was made entirely of Dalton Blazers, Dalton Ties, Dalton Shirts, and Blaine noticed that set in the middle of the bow tie that he had worn on his first visit to Dalton, after having transferred to McKinley. He'd wondered where that bow tie had disappeared off to. To top it all off the outside edges were lined with red piping, the same red piping of the Dalton Blazers.
He glanced up at the doorway as he felt Sebastian's presence entering the room. "Thank you. It's perfect"
A/n: What did you think? Let me know. Review? PM Me? Anything. I would love to know what you guys thought of Sebastian's Anniversary Surprise. Again hope you enjoyed it. Review!
