“ Oh, trust me. i’ll show you everything. I know all the best places to go. “ Vibes suddenly felt filled to the brim with a feather light happiness. Something Sebastian had been in desperate need of lately. && who better to be here with than the love of his life? Not only was Paris the one, true place he could call home; but what he && Blaine have is the only other thing he had ever considered to be a home. Blaine’s presence && affection on its own was more comforting than any material items could be. Lips moved to Blaine’s, pressing them against his tenderly as he hugged onto him tight one more time. He wanted to let Blaine know that these were arms that would protect him endlessly. Sebastian kept his face close as he pulled away passionately, still full of excitement to start their Paris adventure. “ You’re always my number one, babe. Je t’aime. “
Sebastian let out a small laugh, he simply couldn’t help from doing so. It wasn’t a laugh because he found anything in particular funny, it was a laugh because the disbelief was kicking in. After months of secret planning this trip, he was finally realizing he was back as the sounds of people speaking French around him rung in his ears. “ && as for the thing surrounding my Father, I don’t think you really want to know. “ he exclaimed lightly with another chuckle, looking down at the time on his phone. It was time to catch their taxi!“ Our ride is here. I rented out the best hotel in all of Paris. “
Cut to about fifteen minutes later, they were arriving outside Hotel du Louvre. A five star hotel that Sebastian absolutely insisted on booking. Hopping out of the cab && opening the door for Blaine to get out like a classic gentleman, he couldn’t wait to see his boyfriend’s reaction to the luxury spot.
“I don’t doubt you do. I know how much you love this place and missed it. I just can’t believe you managed to pull this off without me having a clue.” Watching the happiness shine in Sebastian’s eyes was worth any amount of jetlag and begging for hours for him to tell them where they were going. Fitting against Sebastian’s taller frame perfectly, Blaine stayed with his heels lifted to keep him him high enough so he could return this, go back for seconds and finish with a huge, toothy grin and a dusting of color over his cheeks. He could stay in Sebastian’s arms to keep him locked in his own and never want to pull back. Paris wouldn’t be at his fingertips forever though. The voice in his ear brought his heart back to Earth and his heels back to the ground. “You’re going to make me wish I didn’t forget most of the French I studied in high school,” Blaine’s bottom lip pulled back from his clenched together teeth. Guilty! “Je t’aime, merci and I think I can ask where the store and the bathrooms are. Something about shoes and coffee,” he teased, “Paris. With my own personal translator. A dream come true.”
Blaine let the question about what material Sebastian was able to hold against his father to fund a trip like this go. The less he knew about their business on some things–the better. “You know you didn’t have to rent out the best one–,” he caught himself, “–never mind. Yes you did. You wouldn’t be you if you hadn’t. Lead the way, Oh-French-Speaking-One.” Their taxi was waiting and so was the rest of PARIS.
Halfway to their hotel the window was rolled down. Shortly after, he stuck his head out because sitting still was impossible. Amazement dropped his jaw open as he watched the city go by. He didn’t notice their cab came to a stop until Sebastian opened the door. Blaine bounced out like an excited ten year old. A ten year old that froze at the sight of the hotel. Blinking in disbelief, he palmed over his mouth and shook his head. “Seb, this is beautiful. Just..wow.” He knew better than to say it was too much. Even if it was. Sebastian was too happy, too proud to be here. It was perfect. Extravagant but perfect. Just like the man who thought up this crazy wonderful idea.
“ I would pin him against the wall && whisper in his ear until he’s hot && bothered enough for me to hear a moan come from him. I would kiss all down that perfect body… Letting him know how sexy he is. Then I would get down on my knees for him. I could elaborate with the dirty details but I’m just going to assume you’re intelligent enough to guess what happens next… Lets just say I would give him with every ounce of attention I have. Something he deserves, he has always deserved to be treated like a king. I would make him realize that I could be the perfect one for him. “
The first gift Blaine excitedly gives to Sebastian is a JB Viot watchhe paid for on their trip to Paris but had it shipped because he had Sebastian’s name engraved on the top curve around the back. The second is a tailored suit with a note that reads: Believe it or not? This is for something. Keep going. Promise you’ll know soon enough. Last but not least, the third is a top hat with Mickey ears. Two plane tickets and reservations at The Grand Californian Hotel, Blue Bayou restaurant, and a week long pass to the parks. Last, to ham it up, an ornament frame with a picture of them in front of the Eiffel Tower and the dates of their trip.
On the bottom of the Mickey hat box there is a card with a note written on the empty space in the inside flap.
Sebastian, You know how much I love Christmas. I know you’re going to stare at me in two seconds and tell me that I shouldn’t have gone this far. Don’t. Let me spoil you for once. You’ve always said I need to loosen up. We both know I used to be that person you’re beginning to bring back out. I think you’ve managed quite a bit this past year. So? To prove to you that your work is paying off? We’re going to the happiest place on Earth! We’re going to dress up for dinner at night and act like idiots during the day. I hope you’re prepared. You haven’t seen anything yet. Thank you for making me feel like I can breathe again. I love you so much.
“ The curiosity is cute, Killer—- but after dodging your game of five hundred questions in a row the WHOLE flight, you don’t need to know how. All you need to know is I blackmailed my horrible father into granting me with some money && I decided to use a good sum of it to show my boyfriend the best god damn time he’s ever had. “ Sebastian winked playfully, almost bursting with excitement. This had been his first time in Paris in a long time. The one place that he considered home. Living with his parents back when he still did was never home to him with the constant toxicity. && after graduating && constantly being on the move, he never found a place that quite fit his taste. But being in France, THIS was his calling. His heart interlocked with the city.
A true smile of happiness was flashed on Sebastian’s face, && at this point nothing could wipe it off. He took Blaine’s bags && set them down for a moment, coming in close to hug his lover tight. Holding him close. “ We’re here because I love you, Blaine. &&also because I love Paris. But most of all you. “ he teased, still laughing at the shock in Blaine’s face as he kissed his cheek.
“You blackmailed your father into giving you money just to leave the country with me? I’m not sure if I should be flattered and love you even more that you’d be willing to go to that extent,” Blaine let Sebastian take his bags with a puzzled blink. Question answered quick enough. Sebastian’s arms were around him and Blaine’s hands fit held tight to his boyfriend’s shoulders. “Or if I should be worried what information you have for him to cough up this much money. Do I even want to know? That’s the thing.” It only took a shift of his grip to wrap his arms around him cupping of Sebastian’s neck. Paris. Being here had yet to sink in. Sebastian whisked them away to Paris. Via a crazy whim and bribe money. Only something you’d do.
Seeing Sebastian’s smile was worth the world. Blaine knew how much the city meant to him by the stories Sebastian told. They would visit someday. Promise made as Blaine listened intently to every tale. He just didn’t plan on someday being as out of the blue as now. “I love you, too, Seb. From how you talk about this place? I would’ve settled for second on your list.” The amount of adoration he had for Sebastian beamed from every pore. It was in the way he had to bounce to let some of the excitement out. It made his smile take up most of his face and wrinkle the corners of his eyes. Blaine was about to burst. He had to rock up onto his toes to return. His aim was off just enough that he kissed the corner of Sebastian’s mouth where his stuck in place smile began. “Being first on your list is even better. Thank you. I want you to show me everything.”
It had been a rather unusual morning for the lovers. Waking Blaine up at the crack of dawn && taxi cabbing them down to the airport, he had a full blown surprise for his boyfriend. This was their first big trip together, && he hadn’t told Blaine a thing about where they were headed so far. Now hours into the plane ride, && balancing his own excitement mixed with Blaine pestering him playfully to tell him where they were going, they were finally arriving at their destination. The night sky looked so beautiful out those small circular windows. Shades of purples && deep blues. It was the absolute best place on earth that they were going in Sebastian’s eyes, his roots; PARIS.
While exiting the plane, Sebastian made Blaine close his eyes as he guided him. They were finally here. Now standing in the middle of the airport, you could see the nostalgic city view from just outside the airport windows. People were all around but all that mattered right now was them && all the fun they would soon have together. “ You can open your eyes now, Blaine. “
Sebastian had the trip to the airport and the various means he used to distract Blaine fairly easy. Being woken up at the ugly hour of pre-dawn made the first few hours a piece of cake. Headphones, playful fibs that they were going to random places that no one would volunteer to step foot in. Unless Siberia magically became the hottest tourist attraction since Disneyland? Seb was a brick wall that refused to budge. No matter how many times Blaine pulled the begging eyes trick that usually worked. Nothing would break his boyfriend’s resolve to keep their destination a mystery.
Hours later? Blaine was a ball of energy that threatened to bounce off the walls of the airplane. Try spending an entire flight wondering where in the hell your boyfriend decided to drag you off to and not be. AT LAST! Blaine held Sebastian’s hand leading him blindly with Blaine chiding him the entire way. “I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to kidnap someone and put them on a ten hour flight to WHO knows where, Sebastian! You’re going to hear from my lawyer.” His joke died off the second Seb let him open his eyes and Paris greeted him from beyond the glass. Paris?? They were in Paris?! “Are you–are we–” Blaine’s mouth hung open. Wide eyes crept a stare in slow motion up to Seb. “–How?”
