I know I have said this before, but I honestly think that Sebastian hasn't looked more attractive than he does right now, standing in the middle of my bathroom with nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist.  He wraps me up in my own fluffy towel, making sure to warm me up after we got out of the bath. Kissing me softly with such love reflecting in his eyes.

"Shannon, I can't believe we just did that in your bathtub. I mean my shower at Dalton was one thing. But that was honestly the first time I've ever, you know without..."

I hum in agreement and raise my head to look into his eyes.  "So you liked my idea then?"  He nods and I can detect a slight smirk on his face.  "Of course Pretty Girl.  Absolutely amazing.... Although I know you said it would be okay but for my peace of mind can we not make a habit of THAT?"

Slipping out of his arms I go to blow out the candles I set up earlier and unlock the door to Blaine's side. "Promise. I just wanted to make sure I was completely open and honest with you."

"I appreciate that you trust me so much."  He takes my hand and leads me out of the bathroom and back into my bedroom.  It is now quite late.  We hang the towels on the hooks just inside the door to my room.  "Princess, what I would really like right now, and what would make my evening complete is to just fall asleep with you wrapped up in my arms."

I try in vain to stifle a yawn suddenly feeling very tired. Meeting up with Sebastian at the Lima Bean feels like days ago instead of just hours, we've had quite an eventful evening since we showed up at the house.  I nod sleepily as he walks us over to the bed. 

Sebastian gets in first and I crawl in next to him, curled up at his side.  He turns off the bedside lamp and places a soft kiss on my lips, pulling me close to cuddle. "I love you so very much Sebastian Smythe." Placing my head on his chest the sound of his heartbeat causes me to drift off. But before I'm completely asleep I swear I hear him whispering softly as he drops gentle kisses in my hair. "Thank you for bringing me her. I love you Shannon Lynn Anderson and I always will."

I awake in the morning facing towards my bathroom, I must have moved in my sleep.  Sebastian is still curled up behind me fast asleep, face buried in my hair. His arms are wrapped securely around my waist and every time I try to move he just tightens his grip on me. I can hear him mumbling softly in his sleep in this little boy voice whenever I try to get up. "No. I won't let you take her. Shanny is all mine. Sebby doesn't like to share."

Omg?! He is so adorable I just can't stand it. I need to figure out a way to ease out of his grasp without waking him. Slowly I move to face him again and his arms ease their hold on me slightly. I place a soft kiss on his cheek and move out of the bed. I can hear him sighing contently but he doesn't look like he is waking up. He looks so adorable and peaceful right now.

Quietly I put back on the tank top and shorts from last night. I don't want him to worry when he wakes to see me gone so I write a quick note and place it on my empty pillow.

(A/N: Real handwriting to make it feel legit)
Sebastian my love,
I just could not bear waking you up. You just look too adorable and peaceful when you sleep. When you do wake I will be waiting for you downstairs and I look forward to continuing our weekend together.
I love you so much.
Your Princess,
Shannon

Gathering up my phone and scrapbook I had intended to show Sebastian yesterday, I head towards the door.  Unlocking and opening the door I glance back at the bed once more before I head downstairs.  How in the world did I land that beautiful boy who is fast asleep in my bed right now?  I blow him a kiss and then head into the hallway.

The house is very quiet.  Only the two of us are here.  Getting into the kitchen I place my phone and scrapbook on the center island and set about starting some sort of breakfast.  I notice the plate of treats still sitting on the counter and smile to myself.  Sebastian set a high bar yesterday when he baked those cookies.  I sigh and turn to the pantry where I notice blueberry muffin mix, semi homemade is better than nothing right?  I quickly mix everything up and put it in the oven and then start a pot of coffee.

While I wait for the oven timer to go off I check my phone and find some new messages.

My friends from home must have messaged at some point last night after we FaceTimed with them.

Lars: Shann homecoming is in like 3 weeks. We've already checked the website for your new school and you don't have classes that Friday so no excuses. You can bring people. Maybe that new hottie of yours?? 😉

CarBear: Chickadee!! You are sooooooooooo lucky!!! Sebastian is totally beautiful and from what I can see completely crazy about you. 😍😍. I'd worry though. J's been asking about you again. 👎🏻☠️

Oh crap. That's the last thing I need. I love my friends but I'm not sure yet if I want to subject Seb to some of my old classmates. I'll wait until I get to talk to him later to respond. Speaking of the devil, another message shows up on my phone as I'm holding it. I really don't need this drama right now after my perfect night with Sebastian.

XJ☠️: Sweetness, I've been hearing and seeing things about a new pretty boy. Homecoming don't bring him. I WILL get you back.

Grrrr. To risk sounding like Mercedes, Hell to the No.  Talk about being highly delusional.  I have no intention of returning that boy's message. I had hoped he had lost my number but no such luck. At least I'm here in Ohio.

Thankfully the buzzer goes off on the oven at that point so I don't have to think about that giant douche anymore.  

I'm placing the warm muffins in a basket next to the plate of cookies when I hear Sebastian coming down the stairs. Glancing up I see that he is just wearing his Dalton Lacrosse sweatpants and his hair is beautifully disheveled. He makes half asleep look absolutely delicious.

He catches my eye as he saunters over to me. "Morning Love. You like what you see??" Closing the gap between us I wrap my arms around his waist and gaze up into his eyes. "Yes Sebby, you're the cutest thing ever."  He bends down to give me a sweet kiss and I release my hold on his waist instead moving to grab his hand.

"I think you're mistaken, that would be you. So Pretty Girl, what are the plans for today?  Those clowns from Dalton have been blowing up my phone all morning apparently. I found tons of texts about some sort of karaoke night."  I shrug as we walk into the kitchen.  "I hadn't heard anything, although I've been busy making breakfast for my sweet boyfriend."  Motioning towards the counter where the basket of muffins sit beside his plate of cookies with a smile.

"Awe Princess, you baked." Smiling he pulls me in for a hug and kisses my forehead. "Yes Sebastian, I had to pay you back for the cookies. Tried my best but it's not necessarily my forte." He moves to grab some plates for the muffins and mugs for the coffee. Pouring us two cups he looks back over his shoulder to wink at me. "Nonsense Love. You're absolutely perfect. Letting me stay with you as long as you can is payback enough."

I blow him a kiss and then I notice my phone lighting up. New texts? I go to look at them as Sebastian comes over to me with our coffees and muffins. He wraps his arms around me and looks over my shoulder as I check them out.

Rach⭐️: Missed you at movie night. Planning ND karaoke outing tonight. You in??

I❤️Jeff:  Precious, Blaine mentioned ND karaoke. We're trying to reach Bas but he isn't responding. Warblers are in, but can you see if he'll come? I know he's with you.

Sebastian just laughs and rolls his eyes.  "What is wrong with everyone trying to make me share my time with you??"  I turn slightly to kiss him. "I know. Because Sebby doesn't like to share?"  I tease and he turns this cutest shade of pink.  "Did I mumble in my sleep??"  I just laugh and nod before going back to check one last text that just came in.

Aladdin:  My Belle, we should be back in about 20 minutes. Kurt wants to make sure you guys are decent and Sebastian isn't 'molesting' you. His words not mine.  See you soon dear.

"Bas, love, looks like our cozy time for two will be over soon."  He just nods silently.  He spins me around in his arms so my back is to the counter. Our breakfast lies untouched on the island as we savor our last moments alone before my cousin returns.  Sebastian bends down to capture my lips in a kiss and I rise in my tip toes to meet him halfway.
