falling never felt like this.

     Being alongside Blaine during a Warblers practice was already a delight in itself for Sebastian But when the shorter two went falling from the desk top, that came as even more as a delight. Under all of Blaine’s apologizing && blushing, Sebastian just smiled from ear to ear; still surprised for what had just happened so quickly but also glad to see he took a soft landing right on top of Sebastian. It’s not like it hurt, Blaine was rather delicate, even when clumsily tumbling off of a surface.

Green irises met the hazel ones that were ever so close, the blush tinting Blaine’s cheeks causing Sebastian to smile even wider than he was before. He just let Blaine stay there, not at all in any rush to shoo him off. When the other Warbler had fallen, Sebastian kind of just fell to the ground with him as a grunt was let out. But what he hadn’t noticed was that now his arms were protectively around Blaine, holding him back. Perhaps even the same small blush hiding behind his ability to keep it cool. It was a storm of butterflies in his stomach.  —–No rush. I wouldn’t want you to fall again if you got up too fast. he joked teasingly, laughing lightly as eyes stay locked on Blaine’s.

One knee and then the other touched against the wooden floorboards on either side of Sebastian’s hips and Blaine felt the ever-so-slight shift of his position ricochet through every inch of his frame.  Every part of him felt like gravity lost all reason and decided to go every which way to the point he was dizzy everywhere.  Not just in his head.  His entire body felt a twisting, spiraling tug and pull that pushed the air out of his lungs and caused the smallest noise of a gasp he tried to muffle with a tight pressing together of his lips.  Sebastian did that to him just now.  Sebastian took hold of whatever sense of balance Blaine had and turned it into a jumble of a speeding pulse and desperate breaths he struggled to cover up with a pathetic attempt at chuckling.

Try as he may?  He couldn’t ignore the effect that noticing the tingling warmth sinking in from the warm press of their stomachs together and the way–this close–he could see a sheen of wet coating Sebastian’s bottom lip had on him.  His first gut instinct was denied as he licked his own in a compromise of his willpower to stay cool.  So close!  Too close.  Just close enough. A tiny tilt of his head and an inch or two of a lean and he’d be able to–No!  He wasn’t looking.–  Yes.  Yes he was.  Thick black lashes opened wide enough that he could flick a glance back up to Sebastian’s eyes.  Blaine’s breath hitched but he smiled and managed to  barely accomplish a nod.  “Right–right. Don’t need to crush you again.”  Did he really sound that strained?  “No rush.”  Without looking away, his left hand was drawn up from where it was clutching Sebastian’s shoulder.  “A-Are you ok?  Didn’t mean to–” Another round of fireworks went off in his stomach as he cupped Sebastian’s cheek and his thumb spread out from the others to the edge of his mouth.  “Ahh–Sorry,” he smiled.  Whatever he was about to say choked when he felt his fingertip grow damp and he groaned instead.
