A/N: This is an extra long chapter because it has a little...smut in it. If you're in anyway bothered or offended by such, feel free to skip this chapter now. I totally understand. Otherwise, read at your own risk! ;)

Sebastian
Three Weeks Later
"Would you please stop jumping around, good lord, Seb, it's not like you're seeing her for the first time man," Chris was talking somewhere, but all I could focus on was the fact that Rae, my one and only girl would be stepping out in the arrival area of LAX any minute now.
"Dang brother, if I didn't know you any better I'd say hold it in your pants until you get her all alone in yo crib," I hear Mackie say as he stood on my left, handing me a bottle of water. I was too nervous and excited it just slipped through my hand.
"Oh honey, look, our chubby dumpling getting all fidgety over a girl. Get ahold of yourself Stan," Mackie smacks me in the head, and Chris covers his mouth with his hand to stifle his laughter.
"Jesus, what is taking her so long?!" I mutter annoyingly, stretching my neck as I look for her. My heart stops when I finally see her. She was wearing a black bullcap that said "Bucky Barnes' Bitch" in solid white lettering, her head turning from left to right obviously searching for me in the crowd. Chris hasn't seen her yet either, so I take a couple more seconds to just drink her in. I smile inwardly when I saw her shirt, a plain white tee that said #politicalanimal. We binge watched all six episodes of the short lived series one time after Infinity War premiered and she gave me commentary about everything-from the plot, to Sigourney Weaver's clothes, all the way down to the places we shot the show in.
Rae finally spots me and I could swear we were transported into one of those cheesy movie airport scenes. Everything seemed to go by in a blur, slowing down to a complete stop until it was only the two of us moving towards each other. She drops her handbag and I sprint the last few feet towards her. She jumps towards me and I grab her thighs to hoist her up while her legs wrapped around my waist for a hug nearly three months overdue. I breathed her scent in and it was exactly as it was the first time she bumped into me-strawberries and vanilla, sweet but not overpowering.
"God I missed you," I murmur in her hair, and she presses herself further to me, if it was any more possible. "I missed you so much it hurts."
I set her down but keep her close. She wraps her fingers at the back of my neck, her big doe eyes staring straight into my icy blue ones.
"Well I'm here now so..."
"Oh fuck this shit," I growl as I take my cap off and kissed her right there. I knew I'd deal with paparazzi shots and trash mag speculation later on, but right now, those didn't matter.
Rae was here, and that's all that matters.
We were currently stuck in LA traffic, and Mackie took it as an opportunity to bombard my girlfriend with a bazillion questions. Some of them were downright silly, but there were some that were pretty interesting and intense.
"So I know this thing between you and Seabass is pretty new..."
"Um yeah?" Rae answers, she turns to me and gives me a quizzical look. I shrug, knowing Mackie tends to do this sometimes.
"...and with your new job, you're basically on two ends of a spectrum, you know? What if a situation comes up that conflict with your relationship with Sebastian?"
"Anthony," I say with the slightest edge in my voice. "Don't." I feel Rae's hand squeeze mine a little tighter.
"Anthony, come on, man," Chris gestured with his hand at Mackie.

Fanfiction"Why did you do this for us, Rae?" his soft, gentle voice filled my head. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and looked up at him. His eyes were the color of the sea this time, dark and probing, as if they were looking right into my very soul...
