New Girl In Town (1) ✔️

Mending Fences

We sit there for a while as conversations slowly start to return to normal around us. Once again we are becoming less of the focus for everyone so Sebastian and I move back into our cozy little bubble. 

His fingers are still raking through my hair, occasionally separating strands out to twirl around.  It is so relaxing and I shiver at the thought of the things this man can do to me with just his hands.  Softly I start to speak to him, motioning ever so slightly towards the other teens.  "Seb, so how does this change things? You've made a lot of admissions today.  All of which I'm ecstatic about by the way, but what about them?" He laughs lightly, "Don't think I can still use the 'I'm Sebastian Smythe, I will ruin you' routine if they all know I have a heart and a soft spot for a particularly adorable petite brunette can I?"

I shake my head and laugh, shifting on his lap so I can look at him. Tapping his nose I tease, giving him a pouty look and flash my big brown eyes. "No more bullying, blackmail, or assaults this year, Sebby."  He sighs.  "But Pretty Girl being nice sucks." I trail my hands down his chest and his breath hitches in his throat. Glancing up at him through my eyelashes I say, "I didn't say there was anything wrong with being a little naughty sometimes Bastian."

Sebastian feigns shock but I can tell by the deep emerald of his eyes where his mind currently is. "What happened to the sweet, innocent Shannon Anderson that I met at the Lima Bean?"  I reach up and place a small kiss on his lips.  "She fell for a bad boy with a Disney prince haircut." He wraps his arms tighter around my waist and pulls me as close as possible in our seated positions. "I will gladly reform my ways if it means I get to spend my time with you, Princess."  I smile as he leans in to kiss me, sweet and honest kisses.

We are wrapped up in each again completely oblivious to our surroundings until I hear someone clear their throat.

??: Can I talk to you guys?

Sebastian and I look up, surprised at who we see...

"Blainey? You came back..."

"Dude, you're not going to kick my ass are you? I didn't force her into anything, I swear."  I just shoot Sebastian a look.  I mean, really?

Blaine holds up a hand to stop Sebastian. "Can I sit?" He gestures to the chair across from us.  We both nod at him. I'm worried about what he wants to discuss.

Once seated he begins. "Shann, I wanted to apologize firstly. I told you that I would always be there for you, that I would be on your side no matter what. I thought I was okay with you dating. But the thought of you and Sebastian, doing.... Well it freaks me out. You're like my little sister remember, just from a different set of parents.  I really don't want to think about you in that type of light."

"Blaine, I get it. I really do. Much like I don't really want to think about you with Kurt."

Sebastian shifts slightly in our chair, he's really nervous now. "It's because it's me, isn't it? I know I don't have the best reputation. But I really DO care about your cousin."  Aaww. I look up and Sebastian looks so much younger now, like a scared little boy. He's just so adorably vulnerable that I can't help myself.  I gently place my hand on his cheek for comfort.  As if by instinct, Sebastian turns his head and presses a kiss softly into my palm. His eyes sparkle as I look into them. He removes my hand and mouths I love you to me, not wanting to say the words out loud with Blaine here.  I nod back and mouth I love you too before we hear Blaine again.

"Guys, I know." My eyes flit off Sebastian's face and over to my cousin.  I begin to blink rapidly and flush slightly.  "You know? What. What do you think you know?" Sebastian chuckles at me as he pulls me into his chest.

"Rachel told me about what Sebastian said.  You know, that he loves you." I feel my face growing even hotter as my blush grows.

Sebastian presses a soft kiss to my temple. "I do, more than you could imagine. Honestly I was as surprised by this as everyone else. I never expected to fall so hard, so fast. But I wouldn't have it any other way." He runs his fingers through my hair again. "Pretty Girl cast her spell on me the second I saw her. From then on I was just hooked."

Blaine must see something in Sebastian's eyes that he is okay with. Because the next thing I know he is nodding and sitting more relaxed in his chair. I let out a breath that I didn't realize I had been holding in. Blaine isn't done though, I see a mischievous glint in his hazel eyes. "Seb, just so we're clear, if you hurt her I will end you. Remember. Fight Club." I feel Sebastian laughing softly. "Well you shouldn't be talking about that. But I get it. And trust me, if I ever hurt her I'd have to face the wrath of everyone here."

He presses another kiss to my temple and I hear him begin to choke up as he continues. "Although to lose my Princess would cause more pain than anything you guys could EVER inflict on me."

It's my turn to brush unshed tears from Sebastian's cheeks. I follow my fingertips with soft kisses and smile up at him. "I don't plan on going anywhere anytime soon, Sebby."

I slip quickly off Sebastian's lap to hug my cousin. "Blainey-bear, I love him. I know he wasn't always the nicest guy to everyone else. But with me, he's different." He releases me and I return to my seat. "I know Shann. I know. I actually watched you guys for a while before I approached. I'm sorry I judged harshly. You really do look great together, a perfect match."

"Slightly weird for you to be spying on me with your cousin Killer. But I'll take the compliment and approval." With that Blaine rises from his seat to get a coffee leaving us alone again.

Once we're alone again Sebastian whisper/sings in my ear.

I finally found you, my missing puzzle piece. I'm complete.
