Chapter 20

"ooo it's a coin one I'm excited," Sebastian grins. Blake stops in front of him and starts his trick, first making the coin disappear between his hands, then reappear behind Sebastian's ear. After his demonstration, Sebastian claps, "amazing! Just amazing! We have to take this act on the road,"

"I don't know," they begin walking again, "I don't want it to go to my head, you know? Fame and all" "No worries, I'll be your assistant and keep you humbled"

"You'd quit skateboarding to be my assistant?"

"Sure, being a magician's assistant pays, right?" They look at each other and Sebastian smiles, "actually I don't care I'll do it either way."

They walk until they get in front of Sebastian's apartment building, "this is me," they stop. Looking up at the big lavish building in front of him Blake tries not to gawk, "you live here?"

Sebastian nods, "alone?"

"No," he chuckles, "my friends live with me, we got the place after we graduated high school and decided we'd much rather live off campus."

"Cool..." the conversation dies as the boys awkwardly stand in front of each other

"So," Sebastian starts, "is this the part where you kiss me?" Stunned by the question Blake just stares at the boy's eyes trying to see if he meant it. Of course, Blake has thought about that the entire night, what would kissing Sebastian feel like? Are his lips as soft as they look?

Would Sebastian be repulsed by the idea of actually kissing him? The boy laughs realizing what he did, "god it's so hard to tease you, I'm kidding Blake." He pulls his keys from his pocket, as he turns to unlock the entrance door Sebastian quietly says to himself, "why would you want to kiss me?"

"Why wouldn't I want to kiss you?" Blake blurts out while the boy's back is turned to him. Sebastian turns back answering with a smile, "because I'm not your type"

"What is my type then?"

Sebastian snorts taking a guess, "um maybe pretty girls with long flowing hair and tight-fitting clothes, did I get it right?" Blake doesn't answer, "I did, didn't I?"

"Yeah you did," Blake answers honestly causing Sebastian's smile to disappear, "but that was before you," he adds causing the boy's eyes to fixate back in his, "before I saw you and spent the past week second-guessing every decision I've ever made."

"The past week?" Sebastian questions, "you've known me before Friday?" "I told you I was a fan, didn't I?"

He chuckles, "I thought you were joking, Blake." When his laughter dies Blake asks, "can I be honest?" "Of course,"

"I don't know why this is happening but I think I've stopped questioning it after tonight—"

"Questioning what?"

"How I feel, how you make me feel, how all it took was seeing you once on that ramp and I've basically been yours since. I don't care about trying to explain it to myself anymore... I'm drawn to you in every sense of the word, watching you skate in your videos, when you're talking and laughing with your friends it's all so carefree and inviting. I don't really know how to do this, specifically this— " he hints between them, "but I think you're the most beautiful boy I've ever laid eyes on, and—"

As if they weren't already standing close enough, Sebastian takes a step closer cutting Blake off with a kiss. A painstakingly deep slow kiss Blake wasn't expecting but gladly welcomes. Taking steps back until his back is against the wall of his building, Sebastian's arms snake around Blake's neck gripping tightly at his clothes, while Blake's hands hold his lower back.

Blake has prided himself on his kissing skills but he wasn't ready for how good Sebastian's lips would feel, how much more he'd want his lips while still kissing them. There was no stopping, not with the way they lost themselves in each other, or how Sebastian's soft moans against his lips were turning Blake on.

It all comes to a halt when a car driving by makes a sound causing them to stop, slowly pulling away they open their eyes to look at each other. Snorting with a chuckle Sebastian drops his head on Blake's shoulder, "I forgot where we were for a second"

"Me too," Blake smiles.

Gazing at each other still against the wall Sebastian runs his fingers into Blake's hair, stroking it and smiling at him, "who are you?" Sebastian asks rhetorically before meeting Blake's lips again.

"Do you want to come inside?" Sebastian asks between kisses and Blake is too distracted to answer, "please say yes," he whispers against Blake's lips.

"I want to but I can't," "Why not?" Sebastian pouts

"Because I'm trying to be a gentleman," Blake replies then sighs shutting his eyes as Sebastian kisses his neck, "you're not making it easy though"

"I'm sorry," Sebastian pulls away with a giggle, "but we don't have to do anything," he holds Blake's arms as they're wrapped around his waist. "I just want you to be the first thing I see when I wake up tomorrow," Blake stares at him after he said that unsure of how to feel, how does one react to that? "Too cheesy too soon? Sorry I just wanted to be honest," Sebastian drops his head embarrassed

"No don't be sorry it just took me by surprise, no one says things like that to me"

Sebastian grins as he strokes Blake's cheek, "well get ready because I'm full of cheesy shit like that. Now come on I think my friends are home, and I want them to meet you," Stepping out of Blake's arm Sebastian takes his hand pulling him inside his apartment building.
