Seventeen

The fan of cold breath on his bare chest awakens Chris the next morning, sending goosebumps across his skin. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he gazes down to find Sebastian still fast asleep on his chest, the faintest of smiles on his lips. Last night was perfect. A shock at first, they had never spoken before on the idea of sex, but now that they had done it, Chris feels even closer to Sebastian than he thought he ever was.

Brushing the hair from Sebastian's face, the long strands falling between Chris's fingers, the smaller of the two begins to stir, eyes fluttering. He snuggles closer to Chris's chest, before gazing up at him through thick lashes, smiling.

"Good morning," Chris greets, pressing a kiss to Sebastian's temple.

Sebastian hums, melting into the touch. "Good morning."

Drifting his hand down, Chris runs the tips of his fingers over Sebastian's spine, tickling the skin ever so softly. "How are you?"

Lifting his upper body, Sebastian pecks Chris's lips, grinning and rubbing their noses together. "Good.. really good." Breathes Sebastian, blushing and giggling as Chris pulls him fully over his body, straddling Chris's waist. "How are you?"

"Really good, too." Replies Chris, placing his hands to Sebastian's hips, fidgeting with the band of his underwear. "I know this is probably annoying of me to ask, but.. Last night.. It wasn't too soon, was it? You don't regret it? Oh God, now I'm spiralling."

Silencing Chris's rambling with a kiss, Sebastian rests their foreheads together in silent promise. "Last night was perfect, C. I don't regret it, and I never will. Thank you for waiting for me."

Chris smiles. "Anything for you, Pup. Anything."

"How about your infamous pancakes?"

Snorting, Chris presses his lips to Sebastian's neck and blows softly, sending him into fits of giggles. "Sure, my love."

Sebastian laughs, cupping Chris's face, swiping his thumbs over the small trail of whiskers on his cheeks. "You growing a beard, my hunky bun?"

Chris can't stop himself from bounding out laughter. "Hunky bun?"

"What?" Whines Sebastian, blushing. "You're my hunk and my bun. Hunky bun."

"Nothing, nothing. You've just never called me that before."

Sebastian grins, leaning their foreheads together and kissing Chris's lips, getting lost in their closeness that he almost forgets to pull back and breathe. "Get used to it, hunky bun."

Pulling Sebastian in by his waist, Chris connects their lips once more, moving together in sync as they hold one another close. "I love you." Chris breathes between their lips, kissing Sebastian with so much love and passion he can't think.

"And I love you." Sebastian tells him, over and over again until they fall side by side back on the bed, willing themselves to get up.

They make their way into the kitchen, pulling on their clothes from yesterday that had been discarded across the floor. Georgeta and Nathan are nowhere to be found, no doubt still in bed, Indy between them happily.

"In all honesty," Chris is saying suddenly, mixing the pancake batter in a large bowl. "I get the feeling that Matthew might be gay, or pan or something."

Tilting his head, Sebastian hums. "Has he ever mentioned a girlfriend? Or girls in general?"

Chris shakes his head. "Nope." He pops the 'p', turning to face Sebastian. "It's usually Max or Liam who talk about girls, Matthew teases them but never joins in with anything."
