Two Steps Beyond
Part 66
When Sebastian's alarm went off in the morning he wasn't sure he'd ever responded so quickly before. Once it was off he glanced over at Blaine who was still asleep. While carefully getting out of bed, Sebastian was thrilled that Blaine didn't even flinch. All those morning of getting up for lacrosse practice were clearly paying off. After pulling on a pair of sweats he headed for the kitchen to make himself some coffee before getting started.
As the coffee brewed he went into the other room where Cooper had put everything. Sebastian knew Blaine was going to think he went overboard, but he really didn't care. He wanted to make sure this day was as much about them as it was about Cooper's premiere. While taking out all the little gifts he'd picked up, he grabbed the DVD Jeff had put together for him. He would've preferred putting it together himself, but this was one time he had no problem asking for help since this was one of Jeff's specialties. And considered what he saw when they watched it together, he knew he never would've been able to do what Jeff accomplished.
Having just poured himself a cup of coffee Sebastian was slightly startled when his phone went off. Thankfully it was just a delivery confirmation that the flowers he'd ordered would be delivered soon. Only in New York could you find a florist willing to deliver so early in the morning. He knew he'd hear it from the guys when they came over that weekend, but this was one moment he didn't mind treading lightly on stereotypes. It wasn't as though he bought Blaine flowers to carry around with him; these were going to sit in their home. And considering he already had a romantic dinner planned for the next evening they were going to make the perfect centerpiece for the table.
After checking that he had everything wrapped it was time to start cooking breakfast. Sebastian knew it was early, but he also knew lately Blaine wasn't sleeping in too late since he often wanted to see him off. With breakfast started Sebastian started going over the check list he had in his phone. All gifts were wrapped, flowers should be arriving momentarily, and breakfast had been started. He'd just finished setting up the tray to bring breakfast to Blaine when his phone went off again, flowers were at the door.
Once he brought them in he grabbed a single rose out of the secondary bouquet and placed it in the vase on the tray. With the tray all set except for the food that need to set for a moment he took the large bouquet and set it in the middle of the table in the living room. Considering the size of it, there was no way Blaine was going to miss it. After he had breakfast plated he topped off his cup and poured a cup of coffee for Blaine. "Here goes nothing." Sebastian thought to himself while taking a deep breath prior to heading into their room.
When he reached the doorway a soft smile crept to Sebastian's face since Blaine was now sprawled across the bed. His head was now on Sebastian's pillow while his body lay diagonally across the bed. After gently setting the tray on the dresser just long enough to grab Blaine's card and place it on the tray. Sebastian contemplated how he was going to do this. The last thing he pictured was Blaine taking over their bed once he left it. So with the tray on the dresser he carefully sat down on the edge of the bed closest to Blaine's face. "It's time to wake up B." Sebastian said softly while caressing Blaine's cheek gently. He stirred just slightly before burying his face in Sebastian's pillow. "Okay, this might be harder than I thought." He thought to himself, before leaning down to kiss Blaine on the cheek. That seemed to do the trick because Blaine's eyes began to slowly open. "Happy Anniversary B." Sebastian said while caressing his cheek once more.
"Bas?"
"The one and only." Waking Blaine before he woke himself was always an interesting time since it seemed to take twice as long for him to get his bearings. "I brought you breakfast." Blaine opened his eyes fully and focused on Sebastian while realizing what's going on. "Now that you're a little more awake, Happy Anniversary." Hearing the words this time brought a smile to Blaine's face.
"Happy Anniversary to you too Bas." Blaine then reached up enough to pull Sebastian close for a kiss.
"Sit up killer, I made you, well us, breakfast." While Blaine sat up in bed, Sebastian grabbed the tray from the dresser. "Bas, you didn't have to do all this." He said once Sebastian set the tray down in front of him.
"I wanted to." Sebastian replied before taking a sip of his coffee. "I plan on spoiling you all day." Those words brought Blaine's attention fully to Sebastian as he was just about to take a bite.
"Shouldn't you be at practice?"
"Nate and John are covering for me."
"Bas."
"B, I wanted today to be about us. Not just about Cooper's premiere tonight. And considering what happened the other night the guys were more than willing to cover for me."
"I told you I was content celebrating tomorrow."
"I know, but I didn't want to. Though, I am cooking you dinner tomorrow night since I can't tonight. Now eat before it gets cold." Blaine smiled up at Sebastian before going back to eating. He wasn't even halfway done when he looked at Sebastian again who was almost finished. No words were said but Sebastian just smiled back and nodded. That little gesture made Blaine's smile grow even bigger. The fact that Sebastian remembered the first thing he'd ever cooked for him, amazed him. Here he thought only he remembered little things like that.
Once they'd finished eating Sebastian removed the tray from the bed while Blaine held his card. "Should I open this now?"
"It was on the tray wasn't it? It would be sort of silly to wait." Sebastian replied before sitting back down next Blaine. While Blaine opened the card and began to read Sebastian couldn't stop himself from playing with Blaine's curls which were going every which way. It wasn't till Blaine turned slightly to face him did Sebastian stop. "What?"
"That has to be the sweetest card I've ever gotten." Blaine then stretched enough so that he could give him another kiss. "I love you."
"I love you too! Now, I'm going to go clean up these dishes."
"I can help."
"No, you're going to keep that cute ass of yours in this bed."
"And if I don't?" Blaine asked, cocking his eyebrow in the process.
"I'm not responsible for my actions."
"I'll be responsible for them." Sebastian took a deep breath before picking up the tray.
"I'll be right back."
"I'll be waiting."
While cleaning up from breakfast Sebastian had to take quite a few deep breaths. As tempting as it was to just spend the whole day in bed with Blaine, he wasn't going to let that happen. Though he definitely wasn't going to object to spending a good portion of it there or wherever they may be at the moment. When he finally came walking back into their room he saw Blaine dive onto the bed.
"I thought I told you to keep that ass of yours in bed."
"It's here now." Blaine said while a smile, while Sebastian got back onto the bed. "But if you feel I need to be punished, I understand."
"That depends, why did you get out of bed?"
"To grab everything I got for you for our anniversary. I honestly thought we weren't going to celebrate till tomorrow. So, I'm a little less organized than you are."
"Alright, I guess I can forgive you…for now." Sebastian told him. "Are you ready for the next part of your day?"
"Bas, how much do you have planned?"
"Let's just say I've got most of our day planned though some things are negotiable and may be moved to tomorrow. I might've over done it."
"Not you." Blaine replied mockingly.
"Yea, I know. Now, why don't you listen to this while I run a bath?" Sebastian handed Blaine his iPod. "And the playlist is already set, just hit play."
"Isn't it early for a bath?"
"Never." Sebastian then leaned down and gave Blaine a kiss before getting up and heading for the bathroom.
While Sebastian seemed to have gotten lost in the bathroom, Blaine listened to the playlist Sebastian had put together for him. Each song held certain significance to them in the past year. And prior to each song, Sebastian had recorded what each song meant to him. Whether it was describing only the situation or going beyond that and what that moment meant to him. When Sebastian finally reappeared he had his robe wrapped around him and was holding Blaine's. Judging from the expression on Blaine's face Sebastian smiled, happy that the playlist was having its intended affect. "Bas?"
"Yes B." Sebastian answered while undressing Blaine.
"Could we listen to the rest of this while we're in the tub?"
"If you'd like to, of course we can. It's certainly long enough."
With his iPod in hand, Blaine followed Sebastian into the bathroom which was dimly lit. "Bubbles Bas?"
"Yes, bubbles. I know you like them and well, so do I. And since we haven't used them in a while I thought this was the perfect opportunity."
After pressing play on the docking station Sebastian slowly got into the tub. The way the bubbles raised as he did caused Blaine to laugh. Realizing he might've filled the tub a bit too much Sebastian pulled the drain just long enough to lowered the level a tad. Once he did Blaine made his way in. As he settled himself between Sebastian's legs, the bubbles filled in around them. Blaine didn't know what the scent was, but it was definitely relaxing him. With Sebastian's arms around him, they sat in silence for a while. Just enjoying this moment knowing they didn't have to rush off anywhere.
Blaine didn't know when it happened, but he must've drifted off at one moment. For the next thing he remembered were Sebastian's hands massaging his shoulders. At that moment Blaine was pretty sure it wasn't possible to feel any more relaxed than he did in that moment. If this was only the beginning of what Sebastian had in mind, Blaine didn't know what else he could have up his sleeve. Once they were out of the tub, Blaine had to stop Sebastian just enough to let him allow him to dry him off like he had done for him. With their robes back on Sebastian took ahold of Blaine's hand. "Follow me." Was all he said before leading them into the living room.
"They're beautiful Bas!" Blaine exclaimed as soon as he spotted the flowers on the table.
"I'm glad you think so. I know that's not usually a thing we do, but for today I felt they were perfect."
"They are. Thank you!" Blaine said as he wrapped his arms tightly around Sebastian. When he went to tug open Sebastian's robe, Sebastian playfully swatted his hands away.
"Not yet, but soon." He replied before kissing Blaine's forehead upon seeing the cutest pout. "I want you to open one of your gifts first."
Once they got comfortable on the couch, Sebastian reached over to the end table and grabbed a wrapped package. Happily Blaine took it from him and unwrapped it. Blaine looked at the case in his hand before opening it to find a DVD. Sebastian didn't say anything, just watched as Blaine headed for their DVD player to put it in. With remote in hand Blaine got comfortable once more on the couch, though this time Sebastian wrapped his arms around him.
J. Sterling Entertainment presents….Blaine and Bas, The First Year
Blaine glanced up at Sebastian and smiled. Once the DVD began, Blaine was inundated with pictures and video of him and Sebastian put to music along with interspersed commentary by either Jeff or Nick. Some of the video and pictures were things vividly remember; while other moments were subtle moments that Blaine didn't ever remember seeing a camera pointed at them. Somehow their friends had captured so many moments in their relationship that Blaine was honestly in shock.
"Bas, this….this is incredible. Thank you!" Blaine said before turning enough to be able to kiss him. "How did you ever…"
"As much as I'd love to take the credit, almost all of this was Jeff. I went to him with an idea along with some pictures and video, he did the rest. It's nice to know you're as blown away as I was the first time I saw it."
"It's amazing! His and Nick's commentary was pretty spot on. And I love how it was titled Blaine and Bas not Blaine and Seb."
"Scary, isn't it. I love how he started slightly before we became official. Yea, Jeff thought it was fitting considering you call me Bas and I agreed."
"Me too." Blaine said as he snuggled closer to Sebastian. "I can't believe it's already been a year Bas."
"Me either B." After watching the video once more Blaine and Sebastian finally gave into what they'd both wanted.
Once they collapsed back onto the couch Sebastian glanced up at Blaine. The smallest of smirks crept to Blaine's face. "It's a good thing you never opened the drapes this morning." Blaine said while brushing Sebastian's damp hair off his forehead.
"You don't think our neighbors if we had any would've appreciated the show?"
"In this city, lord only knows who has a telescope."
"That didn't stop us the other night." Once the words left Sebastian's lips Blaine started to blush. He still didn't know exactly what had come over him, but they ended up having sex in front of the windows in the living room.
"I still can't believe we did that."
"If I remember correctly you're the one that wanted to do it right there and then. My, oh so innocent Blaine. You begged for it."
"I know, you don't need to remind me."
"You enjoyed it, didn't you?"
"Immensely." When Blaine answered Sebastian started to kiss his way up Blaine's body till he was lying above him, arms braced on either side of him. "What next?"
"A massage."
"I'd like that, but only if you'll allow me to give you one as well."
"Deal."
Since the drapes were drawn, they just left their robes on the couch and walked back into their bedroom. While Blaine pulled the covers down, Sebastian grabbed a small bag he had next to the dresser and handed it to Blaine. Inside the bag contained numerous types of massage lotion and oil. After choosing one, Blaine lied down on the bed and handed the bottle to Sebastian.
Somehow Sebastian managed to control himself while giving Blaine his massage. Each little sigh or moan that escaped him started to have quite the effect on Sebastian. It wasn't till he was just about done, and he leaned completely over did Blaine feel just how much an effect he had. "You should probably do something about that otherwise your massage could be quite uncomfortable."
"Would you be willing to help me out?" The tone of Sebastian's voice alone sent a chill through Blaine's body.
"Of course, lie down."
As Blaine teased Sebastian with his tongue he felt Sebastian's fingers running through his curls. Never had he thought such a simple act could feel so good, especially while going down on his boyfriend. Yet Sebastian never tugged, he always let Blaine set the pace and take control. It was something they both did for the other. No matter how tempting it could be to control what was happening. The smallest of sounds Sebastian would make would just stimulate Blaine to want to hear more and more. Till Sebastian's moans would fill the room.
While Sebastian was coming down from his orgasm Blaine gently tried to convince him to roll over so that he could start his massage, but Sebastian felt too relaxed to move. So while they lied curled up together in bed Blaine reached behind him and pulled out a card to give Sebastian. "And where were you hiding this?"
"Just open it Bas." Blaine replied before getting comfortable again. While Sebastian read his cared Blaine kept glancing up at him.
"Thank you B!"
"You are very welcome. I was hoping you wouldn't think it was too sappy."
"Considering the card I got you, nope."
"I know, it's just…"
"I get it B, no need to explain." Sebastian then leaned down and placed a kiss on top of his head.
By the time Blaine had started Sebastian's massage neither could stop smiling. So far that morning had been absolutely perfect. Blaine still couldn't get over the fact that Sebastian had arranged to get out of practice so they could spend the day together. He was just finishing up and he could tell Sebastian was completely relaxed beneath him when each of their phones went off.
"Please don't get that."
"I'm not; I want to finish taking care of you first."
"Good."
Once Blaine finished he lied down on top of Sebastian and placed a kiss on his cheek. "How do you feel?"
"Amazing, thank you."
After Blaine moved off of his back, Sebastian curled up next to him. They both had almost drifted off when their phones went off again. "Whoever it is, is impatient."
"What makes you think it's the same person?" Sebastian asked while tracing his fingers over Blaine's chest.
"Instinct." Reluctantly, Sebastian rolled over and grabbed their phones off the nightstand. After they each looked at the messages they looked at each other. "Shall we?"
"We shall." Sebastian replied while sitting up in bed.
When they got back into the living room they each put their robes back on since the air conditioning had kicked back in. "Am I the only one wondering what the hell they did?"
"Nope." Sebastian replied before sitting down. "But we'll find out soon enough." As Blaine curled up next to him, Sebastian turned on the television and connected to the Warblers YouTube channel. "Here we go."

"Bas, did they just reenact the Flintstones?" Blaine said as he looked up at Sebastian who couldn't wipe the smile off his face.
"That they did B, that they did."
Somehow Jeff had managed to sync the video perfectly while interspersing shots of Blaine and Sebastian together during the breaks in the song. The individual spots of video were cute while the ending shot was spectacular. The way Jeff managed to get them all in the shot is something neither Blaine nor Sebastian would ever figure out. And the fact their friends did something like that amazed them. To say their anniversary was off to a good start was definitely an understatement.
