Four days later found Blaine curled up against Sebastian's chests peering through the slight gap in the curtains as the snow fell to the ground. After a quick glance at the clock, Blaine was surprised to see that it was only 6.00am, so he settled back against Sebastian's chest as Sebastian continued to slumber underneath him.
After Sebastian had informed his father and Melissa that Blaine would be spending Christmas alone, he had been practically forced into Mr Smythe's car and told that he would be spending the holiday with the Smythe's. Blaine had been surprised when Mr Smythe (Richard, he had to remember to call him Richard) had appeared on his doorstep and told him to pack him a bag. What hadn't really surprised him about the situation was that Mr Smythe (Richard!) had not taken his words of "No," and "I don't want to be a bother," seriously.
So, now Blaine found himself on Christmas day curled up next to his boyfriend knowing that he was about to spend (what he been led to believe by his friends) the most family orientated day of the year with his boyfriends family. Sebastian had told him that Melissa's parents would be there and that his grandmother would also be in attendance. Blaine wasn't sure what to think or how to feel.
He had very good relationship with his own paternal grandparents; Alastair and Diana, and they had invited him on a cruise over the Christmas holidays but Blaine wasn't a fan of boats. But meeting Sebastian's grandmother made him nervous. Blaine knew that the Smythe matriarch was protective of her only grandson and Blaine just really wanted her to like him. Sebastian told him he had nothing to worry about.
This was one time Blaine didn't believe Sebastian.
Blaine felt Sebastian begin to stir underneath him. He placed a smattering of kisses on Sebastian's chest as his boyfriend began to wake.
"Hmmm...good morning..." Sebastian said sleepily blinking down to gaze at Blaine.
"Merry Christmas Bas..."
"Merry Christmas Killer..."
The pair continued to lie in silence, which was broken occasionally as they kissed. Each knew that this would probably be the only quiet they got all day so they were willing to make the most of it. Especially as they had no idea what time Amelia would decide that they had to get up. Blaine had a feeling that Christmas with a four year old was going to be tiring.
"You ready for today?"
Blaine shrugged one shoulder, "Hmm...I guess...I don't really know what I'm doing..."
Sebastian pressed a kiss into his hair, "No one does...ever...expecially when there is children...trust me..."
"I just..."
"SEBBY! BLAINEY! IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
Sebastian and Blaine laughed as the door burst open and Amelia raced in diving onto the bed next to Sebastian. Both were pleased that they had worn sweat last night as there were questions that neither wanted to answer.
Sebastian placed a kiss on his sisters cheek, "Merry Christmas Mia Moo..."
Amelia swatted him on the arm at the nickname and whined, "Sebby.."
Blaine chuckled and leaned forward pressing a kiss to Amelia's cheek as well, "Merry Christmas.."
"Merry Christmas Blainey! Now come on! We have presents!"
Sebastian and Blaine laughed at the little girls excited bouncing on the bed.
Sebastian grinned, "Okay...Okay...you go make sure Dad and Mom are up...we'll meet you downstairs..."
"Okay...be quick..."
Amelia raced out of the room leaving Blaine and Sebastian laughing. Blaine sat up and pressed a deep kiss onto Sebastian's lips. Sebastian moaned before pulling away slowly, "Come on Killer...that's not fair..."
Blaine grinned and moved out of the bed before turning to look back at Sebastian, "What am I supposed to wear?"
Sebastian chuckled as he moved out of the bed, "Put a T-Shirt on or a hoodie and you'll be fine Killer...Melissa doesn't like anyone to be fully dressed when we open presents...Dad and Grandma moaned the first year but they got used to it..."
"Wait...when will they be here?"
Sebastian chuckle as he pulled a Dalton Lacrosse T-Shirt over his head, "They're already here...they arrived after we went to bed last night..."
"I can't meet your grandmother dressed like this!"
Sebastian laughed and chucked one of his own Dalton hoodies to Blaine, "Yes you can and you are...I don't know what you are so worried about...she'll love you..."
"Bas..."
"You'll be fine B...now put that on before Mia's back up here telling us off for being slow..."
Blaine nodded and pulled the hoodie over his head while Sebastian went and brushed his teeth, Blaine following quickly behind. The pair then made their way down stairs, Sebastian grabbing a hold of Blaine's hand as he lead him into the living room.
"SEBBY! BLAINEY!"
Sebastian pulled Blaine gently into the room where they found Amelia sat by the tree, Melissa and Richard sat on the love-seat nearest to Amelia, what Blaine presumed to be Melissa's parents were sat towards one end of the sofa while the Smythe's dog curled up next to them and Sebastian's grandmother sat in one of the armchairs. She twisted to face the pair when Amelia announced their arrival.
"Sebastian darling...Merry Christmas..."
Sebastian dropped Blaine's hand to give his grandmother a hug and a kiss on the cheek, "Merry Christmas grandma..."
As Sebastian stepped back he noticed that she was peering inquisitively at Blaine who was still stood in the doorway, except that Amelia who had taken a hold of Blaine's hand and was pulling him further into the room. Blaine was powerless to stop her.
"Grandma this is Sebby's boyfriend Blainey...Blainey this is my grandma, my nana and my grandad..."
Sebastian chuckled slightly at his sister's introduction and wrapped his arm around Blaine as his sister deposited Blaine at his side.
His grandmother smiled, "I'm guessing your name isn't Blainey?"
"Er...no...it's Blaine ma'am..."
She smiled, "Now dear...call me Dorothy..."
Richard smiled, "He's Copper's brother..."
"Really?"
Blaine nodded as Sebastian pulled him down onto the floor and introduced him to Melissa's parents who told him to call them Charles and Jennifer.
"Presents Please!"
The group laughed at the four year old's eagerness and Sebastian nodded moving so that he could help Amelia give out the presents.
Blaine was surprised to discover that there were several presents under the tree for him. Not just from Sebastian but from Richard, Melissa and Amelia; Sebastian's grandmother Dorothy; and there was even an envelope from Cooper. Blaine was convinced that they had all spent way too much on him, especially as he was a last minute guest but Richard had assured him that they had already bought the presents when he had heard about Blaine's situation.
Blaine had also been surprised by how thoughtful the presents were and how well suited they were to him, despite Sebastian's claims that he had not helped and that they had guessed for the most part. He received lots of horse riding and polo stuff; as well as some knew guitar picks and headphones. Amelia had even made sure to include some gifts for his horses (4 bags with each of the horses names sewn on containing some apples, carrots and polo mints). He had also received several gift vouchers.
Sebastian couldn't help but be amused at Blaine's surprise that he had been given gifts. While Sebastian knew that his parents and grandmother hadn't gone overboard (despite how much they wanted to), Sebastian (and everyone else) could see how much it was appreciated.
As the family dispersed to go and get showered, dressed and to put the gifts in the rooms they were staying in, Sebastian stayed sat on the floor next to Blaine while Blaine stared at the large brown envelope from Cooper. Blaine hadn't wanted to open in front of everyone else and even now that it was just him a Sebastian he didn't really want to open it.
"You don't have to open in now...you can wait til later..."
"I know but...I want to...to get it out of the way..."
"Okay Killer..."
Blaine slid his finger through the seal of the envelope and reached inside, first pulling out a letter:
Squirt,
So I'm hoping this reaches you in time, I sent it to the Smythe's so that mom doesn't find out I've sent you anything. She still isn't impressed by you joining the cheer-leading squad. Anyway, I hope you have a great Christmas with Sebastian but I still wish you would have come out with us. I hope you like your gift.
Love, Cooper
Blaine reached into the envelope and first pulled out a $50.00 gift card. The second thing he pulled out caused him to snort with laughter, quickly catching Sebastian's attention.
"What?"
Blaine chucked the DVD at him, "He sent me a DVD of the greatest commercials of Cooper Anderson..."
"Well...that's...I'm not quite sure what that is..."
Blaine was prevented from answering as Sebastian's phone rang. Sebastian quickly glanced down at it, sighed once he realized who it was and answered it.
"Bonjour Mère, joyeux noël..." (Hello Mother, Merry Christmas)
Blaine glanced at Sebastian. He didn't speak any French but could only guess that the phone call was from his mother who lived in France. But that was only a guess as Blaine could not hear the person on the other end of the phone.
"Non, je suis avec le papa, grand-maman, Melissa, Amelia, les parents de Melissa et Blaine..." (No, I'm with dad, grandma, Melissa, Amelia, Melissa's parents and Blaine)
"Non mère, Blaine est mon ami..." (No mother, Blaine is my boyfriend)
"Pas aujourd'hui. Je vais vous parler plus tard. Au Revoir..." (Not today. I will speak to you later. Goodbye.)
Sebastian hung up the phone and placed it on the arm of the sofa behind him. He then leaned over and pressed a kiss onto Blaine' cheek.
"I'm guessing that was your mother..."
"Unfortunately, yes..."
