New Girl In Town (1) ✔️

Nothing's Fine, I'm Torn

The rest of Sebastian's birthday weekend goes by without a hitch. No interruptions. Clothing completely OPTIONAL, mostly not at all. Just peaceful. Him and me. In a word, perfect. But still Sunday comes anyway and we have to return to life as we know it.

Things are so much easier in our little bubble. Nothing can touch us there. Wrapped up with each other.

But you can't live life like that... it's not real.

And soon I'm left again to contemplate my own thoughts.

Things I'd rather not think about.

Sebastian's and my future.

Life after high school.

Hunter and whatever is going on between the two of us.

I'm just so confused.

So after a blissful last morning alone we are heading back to Dalton. Sebastian didn't have a bag to bring back as least not of clothing but I made sure everything I brought with me was packed back up. We didn't eat all of the cupcakes or ice cream. He is going to put the ice cream in his mini fridge back at the dorm. As well as keeping some of the cupcakes for himself. I owe Nick, Thad and Jeff each one for keeping him busy on Friday though. Plus I was hoping to bring at least one back for Blaine.

Maybe.

Once we get back to campus, which honestly doesn't take long, Sebastian insists on me walking back to his room with him. So that we can have a 'proper goodbye', his words not mine. What I think he means is that he just wants to try and seduce me again in his dorm room. So here I am, fingers interlaced with Sebastian's, walking once again through the halls of Dalton. He has a bag in his hand, filled with the carton of ice cream, the whipped cream and chocolate sauce for next time I visit and a small container with his birthday cupcakes. I have a small container of cupcakes in my other hand, held carefully as to not harm them, precisely 5 cupcakes to be exact. He gets belated birthday wishes from classmates as we pass, smiling happily.  He's just so precious I swear.

"Sebby, did you want to come with me when I deliver these to the boys?"  He glances at me as we walk up the stairs and shrugs slightly.  "If you want me to.  But I'd be worried they would try to steal my ice cream if I went with you."  I just give him a look, giggling softly as we continue towards his room.  "Really Bas?  You are 18 now.  One would think you would have learned to share by this point in your life."  He is pouting as we reach his room.  He lets go of my hand to unlock his door and I swear I hear him mumbling, but Sebby doesn't like to share.

I roll my eyes as I follow him into his room.  I gently set my small container of cupcakes down on his bed and he turns to put everything else in his mini refrigerator and freezer.  I watch him as he moves about his room, the paragon of masculinity yet still completely graceful.

Classic.

My heart swells and my mind screams out at me.

Of course you love him.  You want your future to be with him.  Why do you even doubt?

I must be staring because next thing I know he is standing directly in front of me, smirk on his face.  "Princess, I take it you like what you see?"  I lower my eyes and bite my lip as a blush creeps up my cheeks.  I can hear Sebastian chuckling softly as he lifts my chin up gently, fingers reaching out to remove my lip from between my teeth.  "You're allowed to stare Shann.  Although after all you let me do to you this weekend I should be ogling you though."

"Sebastian..."

He runs his hands through my hair as I stare up at him, "Yes Pretty Girl?"  The smirk on his face is endearing and infuriating at the same time.  He is teasing me.  I shake my head slightly to clear my thoughts.  "Sebby, do I have to leave you??  I don't want to leave.... Why does home have to be so far away??" He lowers his face towards mine, gently kissing my forehead as he gazes down at me, "Love, it's just temporary.  Until graduation.  And then we can be together as much as you want.  But we can discuss all of that later.  This weekend was perfect.   I couldn't have asked for a better birthday weekend.  Just spending it with you Shannon." I wrap my arms around his neck and raise on my toes to get closer to his height. He meets me halfway for the kiss, starting sweet, soft.
