They seem relatively okay with things now so I invite them to follow me as I head back towards the table where Sebastian is waiting for me.  Slowly they trudge after me.

It doesn't take long for me to make my way over so soon I am slipping into the seat next to Sebastian and placing our waters on the table. "Hi Princess." He presses a quick kiss to my cheek and grabs my hand that is closest to him, going back to the conversation on choreography that he is having with Mike and Brittney.

I sigh. See this is how things should have gone tonight.  Finally I look towards the teenagers who followed me back to the table, they are still standing just looking at us.  I motion to some empty chairs, "Guys you know you can sit down right?  I promise I don't bite..." I hear Sebastian chuckle and whisper softly by my side as they take their seats. Sure you don't Shann... I elbow him in his side and glare out of the corner of my eye and he just shakes his head, laughing and returns to his conversation.

I decide to fully clear the air now that everyone has calmed down. "So the main reason I wanted to explain to you earlier, you know before the world blew up, about my 'old life' is that Homecoming is in three weeks and my friends back there want me to go. I need backup so I wanted you guys to come too.  Sebby has already agreed to be my arm candy but I just need well protection, asshole insurance shall we say."

They look at each other before giving me their responses.

"Precious you can count Nicky and I in." "Yeah!! We need to protect the future Mrs." Sebastian just look at them like they're crazy while I shake my head and laugh softly.  "Water Sprite, Britt and I will ruin anyone who messes with you."  Aaww, Santana is scarily sweet.  "Can we get tickets to a show while we're in Pittsburgh?"  Of course that would be Rachel but Kurt looks interested in that as well.  I shrug, "We'll see..."

I try and stifle a yawn as Sebastian pulls me close to him and kisses my forehead.  "Princess are you tired?"  I nod and it spurs Blaine into action. "Guys it looks like we should go. I actually drove them here. So yea...". Sebastian gets up and helps me from my seat.  I wave goodbye to our friends as we start towards the door.

Sebastian shakes hands with Mike and Artie, I guess sending him to them was a good idea.  But his hand is pulled out of mine when Brittney tackles him in a hug.  I can tell she is whispering and giggling in his ear and he blushes deeply as she lets him go. She gives me a friendly wave and goes to hug Santana.  I'm giving Sebastian a confused look as we follow Blaine and Kurt to the car.

"Seb, what did she say to you?" He looks around to make sure no one else is listening and whispers to me. "She said that we are her favorite Disney prince and princess."  I just stare at him in disbelief not really knowing how to respond to that.

We have reached the car and he holds open the door for me so I can get in. "Ever the gentleman Sebastian." He slides in after me and pulls me to him to snuggle up to his chest for the ride. He drops a kiss in my hair and softly speaks so the two in the front seat will not hear him. "Honestly Love, what kind of prince would I be otherwise.  Plus you are MY favorite princess."  I lift my head to look up at him and he bends down slightly to kiss me gently.  "And you're my favorite prince..."

We sit in silence for the rest of the ride, Blaine stopping to drop Kurt off first. Neither of us move from our spot in the back seat until Blaine is parked in the driveway once again.  Sebastian gets out first and then offers his hand for me to exit the car as well.  Blaine is unlocking the door by the time we reach the front porch.

I follow Blaine and Sebastian into the house, closing and locking the door behind me. With Sebastian's hand still comfortably in mine I begin the head to the stairs. But then Blaine stops us. "Shann, do you mind if I talk to Seb for a few minutes?"  I'm worried now, the last thing I want are two of the most important men in my life to fight.  I glance at Sebastian and he places a gentle kiss on my forehead, reluctantly releasing my hand.  "Pretty Girl, why don't you go up and get ready. I will be up soon, promise."

I sigh and give one more glance back at them before I head up to my room. Quickly I change into cute little pajama shorts and tank top combo, it occurs to me that I don't generally wear pajamas when Sebastian is around. Huh... weird.  I'm growing more impatient and worried by the second. I turn down the bed covers and on the bed side lamp and just sit on my bed pretending to read but I can't very well concentrate.

Finally after what feels like forever (quick glance at my clock only 10 minutes) Sebastian comes strolling into my room looking rather smug.  He shuts and locks the door after him and goes to rifle through his bag for his pajamas as well.  "Sebby??"  He looks up at me and smiles. "Princess I don't think we'll have anymore problems."  I'm just very confused now but he winks at me as he heads into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

I'm still stunned when I hear a soft tap on my door. I know it can only be one person. Blaine. So I answer it to find my cousin standing there with his hazel eyes full of remorse. "Belle, I talked to Bas and I really am so sorry. I'm sorry I ever doubted you. Doubted him. He REALLY does only want what is best for you. I won't stand between you guys anymore."

I can feel tears pricking at the corners of my eyes as I just stand there dumbfounded.  "Blainey, you've said that before.  Why should I believe you now?"  The boy in the hallway just sighs and runs a hand nervously across his eyes.  "I talked to him and I believe him.  Sebastian would sacrifice everything he has to make sure you are happy.  And coming from someone like that, it's got to be love."

Huh. That easy?  I smile slightly at my cousin as I feel a pair of arms loop around my waist from behind. Sebastian pulls me tight back against his chest and buries his face in my hair. He places a gentle kiss in my hair before raising his face to address Blaine in the hallway. "Thanks for finally understanding Killer." Blaine smiles back at the two of us and waves goodnight, turning to start to head into his room across the hall. I free myself from Sebastian's arms to follow him launching myself at him in a hug. Softly I whisper thank you Blainey-bear before I turn around to the safety of Sebastian and my bedroom.

Once the door is closed and locked again I turn off the overhead light and walk back to Sebastian standing near my bed. He climbs is first and gently pulls me down to lay beside him. I cuddle up to his side as he turns off the bedside lamp. I rest my head on his chest and fall into a contented slumber.

I awake the next morning to the feeling of Sebastian drawing slow circles on my arm. I glance up and he is looking down at me smiling sweetly. "Sebby, why are you just watching me sleep?" He bends down to capture my lips in his in a soft kiss. "Pretty Girl, I was just enjoying holding you in my arms. Memorizing your features because we won't be able to do this every night." I pout slightly when I remember that he has to leave me to go back to Westerville today.

"Aaww Love, don't be sad. I have something for you though. To remind you of me when I can't be around." I look at him quizzically as he gets out of bed to rummage though his bag.  I pull myself into a sitting position and he comes back to sit on the bed beside me.  He takes my hand gently in his.  "Now Pretty Girl, close your eyes." I look at him skeptically but do what he says.  I feel him slipping something onto my hand.  "Okay you can look now..."

Slowly opening my eyes I glance down and see he has put a bracelet on my wrist (a/n see above) with his name etched into it.  I give him a confused look as he explains.  "My parents gave me this for my 13th birthday.  To remind me of them even if they were away.  I thought it would be a way to remind you of ME when I can't be with you.  That even with you in Lima and me in Westerville that we are always a part of each other...."

I look back down at the bracelet he placed on my wrist, my fingers ghosting over the letters of his name that are engraved into it. I look back at him and can see the love shining in his eyes. I reach up to draw him closer to me, kissing him softly. "Sebastian, I love it. I love you..."

"I love you too Princess."
