The Other Side (A Sebastian Stan Fanfiction Story)

Chapter 47

A/N: This one's been sitting at my laptop for about a month now and only got to be finished earlier today.  I still am scrambling at how I'm going to finish this, but it will be done by 50.

The weekend flew by and before they knew it, Sebastian and Charlie were once again boarding a plane back to New York. Meeting her parents had gone surprisingly well, Sebastian thought as he looked at Charlie's sleeping form beside him. It was like yet another layer had been peeled off of his fiancé when he met her parents.

Through her mother she saw how she became the 'others first' person she is. Elena made any and all efforts to make him feel comfortable even if it was just the first time she had met him. As for her stubbornness, it was clearly from her father, Richard, no question about it. Richard knew how to put his foot down when he had a point, and this was something he appreciated immensely. Charlie was the sum of the best qualities of her parents, though with a few quirks of her own. He knew she was far from perfect, but it was her imperfections and discovering how she improves from them that he's continuously smitten by.

A stewardess' voice pipes in the speakers, announcing their arrival in half an hour. Charlie stirs, prompting Sebastian to cradle her cheek as she woke.

"Mmmm..," she yawned and stretched as best as she could, given the cramped space. "We there yet?"

Sebastian kisses the top of her head and takes her hand. "Almost, they just announced we're landing in about 30 minutes. How was your nap?"

"Comfy enough, considering," Charlie responds sleepily. "You need to gain weight, you can't be the fiancé of a chef when you're skinny, mister."

"Me? Skinny?" Sebastian asks with fake incredulity to which Charlie laughs softly at. "I thought you liked me for my muscles."

They both laugh a little loudly at his quip, causing a few other passengers to look at them curiously. Some have recognized him and approached him for a few pictures and autographs.

"Look what you've done," Sebastian whispers to Charlie as the last person to ask for pictures left. He was about to say something else when another girl, probably no more than 12 years old, came up to them, a little unsure.

"Hi," Sebastian said with a grin. "How are you?"

"I'm good. Can I...have a picture?" the girl asks.

Charlie couldn't help but smile at the girl. "Hey, you want me to take your picture with Sebastian?"

The girl shook her head, her hair flouncing around her as she did so. "No, I wanted to take a picture of you two."

Charlie slightly gasped and turned to look at her fiancé who was wearing the same expression.

"Um, okay, sure," Sebastian responded tentatively. "Did you want to take it yourself, or you want us to take a selfie with your phone?"

The girl reached out her phone to him. "Selfie, please," she said barely over a whisper.

Charlie smiles at the girl and takes the phone from her as Sebastian has seemingly forgotten to function. "Come on baby," she pinches his cheek, breaking him from his daze and as she tapped the button to take the snap, Sebastian kisses her cheek while looking at the phone camera. This causes Charlie to giggle and the girl too.

"Give me, give me," the girl reaches out for her phone and she giggles even more when she saw how the picture turned out. "You are so cute! Thank you!"

With that, the girl with the flouncy blonde hair was gone, leaving the soon to be married pair smiling like loons.

"Well that was something else," Sebastian finally says in awe.
