Sebastian and Rachel One Shots (Smytheberry)

143. Thanksgiving

Rachel was out at the shops shopping for ingredients for Thanksgiving she wasn't looking forward to the holiday at the loft. It was her turn to shop and cook for everyone at the loft. But this year she didn't want to be at the loft at all. She wanted to be anywhere else than the loft because she was going to be the only there not in a relationship, as Kurt had invited his boyfriend Adam and had even invited Mercedes and Sam and Santana had invited Dani over.

Rachel was still not over what Santana and even Finn had done to her relationship with Brody and even worst that Kurt knew didn't tell her. Rachel felt betrayed by them all, and if it had been her all of them would have kicked her out of the loft.

She didn't want to spend Thanksgiving with the people who have lied to her and hurt her. As she walked down the aisle for a jar of cranberry sauce and not paying attention as she was mentally complaining about the Thanksgiving she had to prepare for, she accidentally bumped her shopping cart into someone.

"I'm really sorry."

Sebastian was minding his own business picking up a jar of cranberry sauce for the Thanksgiving at Trent's with Nick, Jeff, Elliot and Blaine as Jeff has forgotten to pick some up. When he felt a small bump from a cart and soft apology from a voice he hadn't heard in a long time, well her closing night of Jane Austen Sings. Sebastian looked and saw Rachel.

"Don't worry about it Broadway." Rachel knew there was only one person who called her that. She hadn't seen him since her closing night for Jane Austen Sings and hadn't seen him since that time in the elevator at the shopping centre complex but there were many times before that in Ohio. Her heart ached for him, but she knew nothing could happen yet.

"I'm sorry for bumping into you Sebby, really I am. I wasn't paying attention and I should have." Sebastian sensed something was wrong.

"What's wrong Broadway?" Rachel wasn't sure if she should tell her former lover about it.

"I don't really want to spend Thanksgiving at the loft with Kurt, Adam, Santana, Dani, Sam and Mercedes. I'm going to be the only single person there and It's going to be really awkward for me being there, and I'm still not over what Santana and even Finn had done my ex boyfriend Brody and to even have Kurt lie to me too. It just makes me feel really betrayed and now I have to shop and cook for Thanksgiving for everyone in the loft so I have to be there even though I don't want to." Sebastian felt for Rachel and did get upset at the mention of Rachel being with Brody.

"You could always have Thanksgiving with me. Me, Trent, Nick, Jeff, Blaine and Elliot. Thad will be there too, but he's going to be a little late as he's spending time with his family and his cousin Allegra." Rachel was unsure and Sebastian continued

"You could always drop the stuff outside the loft, knock on the door and then leave and let them cook. It's not fair on you." Rachel thought about it and said

"Okay, I like that idea Sebby."

A short time after Sebastian arrived at Trent's with the cranberry sauce and also with Rachel by his side.

Elliot saw Rachel walk in and smiled

"Rach what are you doing here. I'm guessing Kurt and Santana are giving you a hard time?" Rachel nodded her head

"You can say that." Elliot hugged Rachel and said

"You'll have much more fun here." Rachel hoped that she would.

After everyone went to sleep it was only Sebastian and Rachel that were awake. Rachel looked at the time and then at Sebastian.

"It's getting late and I should probably go to the loft otherwise Kurt is going to have a fit and send text after text demanding where I am." Sebastian took Rachel's hand

"You're always welcome to stay the night." Rachel was confused and said

"Wouldn't it be too crowded here?" Sebastian shook his head and chuckled softly

"Not here but with me. I actually have a place in the complex here, I live on my own and have a guest room. Your welcome to use it tonight." Rachel was nervous because the last time she and Sebastian were alone she and him spent the night together in his dorm, the time they spent together in that elevator and even in her dressing room for the closing night of Jane Austen Sings. Rachel softly spoke

"Okay." Sebastian stood up, and lead Rachel out of Trent's apartment and walked to his own. As soon as they walked in Rachel was pressed up against his closed door with Sebastian in close proximity to her. Rachel doesn't know what comes over her when it comes to Sebastian, but she loves it. She leaned forward and kissed him.

Sebastian then lifted her up and carried her to his room.

"You know I lied about you staying in the guest room right, you'll be staying in here tonight." Rachel was breathless and struggling to breathe when Sebastian started kissing her neck

"I figured that Sebby."

The next morning Rachel woke up to an arm around her body and she was being pulled close. She smiled at the half asleep Sebastian. And Sebastian said

"I am serious about you Rachel. Always have been, always will be. I'm crazy about you." Rachel smiled widely and said

"I'm crazy about you too. I'm thankful for you."

Sebastian leaned forward to kiss her and said

"I'm thankful for you too. Will you be my girlfriend?" Rachel nodded her head excitedly and said

"Yes of course I will, I love you." Sebastian went wide eyed and kissed her passionately and what followed with passion of love. Sebastian held Rachel close to him and said

"I love you too Broadway always have and always will."

A/N: Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate the holiday.
