It's December 7th which means that we're going to the live taping of Hairspray Live! It's nine in the morning and right now Sebastian, Noah, Dottie, Tom, Maddie, Raven, Harrison, and I are all meet up for breakfast before Maddie has to go on set for their last dress rehearsal before the show tonight.
"Can I pick out your outfit again?" Sebastian asked from the right side of my bed where he has slept in for the past week, which is totally fine with me.
"Only if I can pick your's out,"
"It's a deal," he said standing up and picking me up from behind to move me out of his way. Once he set me down he kissed my cheek and then turned back to my clothes. While he was searching through my clothes I went into the guest room, where he was supposed to be staying, and went through his suitcase. I picked out an olive green shirt, a brown jacket, and dark wash jeans for him to wear. When I walked back into my room with the outfit in my hands I found him still rifling through my closet.
"No luck?" I asked wrapping my arms around his waist from behind and resting my head on his back.
"Just trying to find an outfit as perfect as you are," he replied and I rolled my eyes at his cheesiness as I continued to hold onto him. Ten minutes later he had finally picked out my outfit and handed it over.
"What if we showered together," I asked as I held onto the clothes and looked down at the ground. I'm not sure from where within me this suggestion came from, but as soon as it left my mouth the regret came forward almost like the second birth a woman experiences after giving birth. I was too afraid to look at him and after a while of no answer I looked up and realized he was no longer in the room with me. I sighed and walked into my ensuit and found him taking off his pajama pants.
"Ready for this shower?" He asked me with a smile and I just nodded my head. Even though it was my suggestion I was nervous to be undressed in front of him because we haven't seen the other naked within the six months that we've known each other. The most we've done is make out and cuddle. "I'm not going to judge you," he said softly as he approached me and kissed my forehead before taking the clothes from me and taking them back out to my bedroom. While he was dealing with those I started the shower and got in before he was even back in the bathroom.
"Got room for one more?" He asked pulling the shower curtain aside a bit revealing his naked body before stepping in with me.
"I think so," I replied and he laughed as he got in along with me. For a while we just stood there; me under the shower head with water running all over my body, and Sebastian across from me being hit by droplets bouncing off my body. We just stood there and took in the foreign nature of the other's naked body. I took the first step forward and was met with his open arms. We stood under the water together just hugging. There was no talking. Just embracing. I felt at peace.
"Help me wash my hair?" He asked me and I looked up at him as if he was insane.
"You do realize that you're like a foot taller than me, right?"
"I'll squat," he said looking down at me with a childlike smile.
"That will get uncomfy real fast but okay," I replied with a shrug and he smiled and instead of grabbing his shampoo he got mine and handed it to me. I raised my eyebrows at him and before I could say anything he beat me to the punch, "I do play plum loving Bucky Barnes anyways,"
"God you're such a dork," I said with a shake of my head that contained the goofiest smile I've ever made. But that's the thing about Sebastian, he made me want to goofy grin all of the time. After I helped him wash his hair he did the same for me and then we washed the others body. I got out before him because he wanted to stay in a little longer. So while he was still in I dried off my body and put on my robe before walking back out to my room and flopping onto my bed while feeling around for my phone. Once I found it I quickly created a group chat that contained Raven, Jasmine, Piper, Maddie, and Dottie. This was a new step in whatever type of relationship Sebastian and I had and it confused me.

We're going to ditch the boys for a little while and join Maddie on set while she gets into hair and makeup because you need to tell us everything! Also how big are we talking?
Soooo not having this conversation with any of you😑😑🙃🙃
Queen🖤
Fine. But just hurry up and get here because Tom won't let any of us order until you and Sebastian get here and I'm 98% sure Noah is on the verge of a hanger attack!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Penny for your thoughts?" Sebastian asked as he walked out of the bathroom in only his underwear while I stood up and walked over to where he has set my clothes.
"What are we Seb? I mean we've been doing this thing for six months and I'm confused now just like I was at the start," I said to him as I slid my underwear on from under my robe.
"Well, what do you want us to be?" He asked me and I sighed.
"I can't tell you what we should be because it had to be something we both either want or one of us doesn't want. I can't decide this for you. I personally would love to be your girlfriend, but if not it's okay. I have Ruffalo as a backup," I said to him as I turned and put my bra on so he couldn't see my boobs even though he clearly has seen them already.
"Come on. Just finish getting dressed so we can meet the others for breakfast. We'll talk about this more tonight," he said putting on his clothes and I sighed and got dressed anyways.
"Finally!" Noah exclaimed as Sebastian and I approached the table twenty minutes later.
"Chill," I said to my brother still reeling from the annoyance caused by Sebastian pushing aside our conversation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's now time for Hairspray Live! To start and be streamed worldwide and even though I'm still one hundred percent annoyed with Seb I'm beyond excited to see the whole ensemble kill it tonight. Right now we're on a long golf cart that Maddie had rented for the seven of us to move quickly from scene to scene so we could see as much as possible. Right now I'm sitting between Sebastian and Tom in the second row as I'm texting in the group chat about how self conscious I feel right now.
"Alright boys. Move it to the back. We need some girl talk," Raven said right after I sent my last text. Tom got up with no problem, but Sebastian was harder to move.
"Why can't I just stay?" He asked.
"Because you're not a girl. Now go," Dottie said and Sebastian gave in probably because there's no use arguing with a Downey.
"I know talking to him didn't go too well last time, but maybe try again. Harrison and I can keep Tom back there with us so that you and Seb can have as much privacy to talk things out as much as possible," Raven suggested to me and I nodded my head.
"Also don't be afraid to show a little Cleve," Dottie said with a wink and I rolled my eyes at the playful girl's manner. They gave me a small pep talk before going back to their original seats and sending Sebastian up to me. Just as he sat down "I Can Hear The Bells" started and I let a small smile escape my lips.
"Rave said you wanted to talk," Sebastian said to me and I nodded my head.
"It can wait until after this song though," I replied and he nodded his head. I found myself humming along to the song and I instantly stopped as soon as I noticed it. I looked over at Sebastian to see if he noticed only to find him already looking down at me.
"I can hear the bells," he sang along in a whisper with the last line before bending his head down for his lips meet mine as his hands landed on either side of my face. When we pulled apart I could feel my goofy smile back on my face and it annoyed me because I was SUPPOSED to be annoyed with him but per usual that didn't happen. "Every time I'm near you, when I hear your voice, when we FaceTime, or even when we text I can hear the bells and it's all because of you. For the past six months I've found myself falling for you and now I want to make it official. You, me, what do you think?" He asked and I laughed at the last part remembering how that was how I tried to get Harry Style's attention after I saw the pictures of Seb in Greece.
"I think, let's do this," I said to him and he instantly kissed me again.
"Finally!" We heard the others say from behind us and I dissolved into a fit of giggles into Sebastian's chest while he held onto me and rubbed my back. The rest of the evening I was cuddled up next to Sebastian while he let me warm. We took a few group selfies here and there and Seb and I also took a few with just the two of us. As soon as it was over Maddie ran over and pulled Tom into a hug, while I peeled away from Sebastian and ran over to Harvey and hugged him. Ever since I met him at one of the rehearsals we've been texting a lot and he's been giving me a lot of advice on how to enter the Broadway world. He's the only one that knows my next goal is to get on Broadway in a show.
"Adopt me please?" I asked him and he laughed.
"Gladly," he replied in his gravely voice that was still calming in a way even though it had a rough sound. "Did you enjoy tonight?"
"I did. I Can Hear the Bells now has a special place in my heart," I said smiling and he gave me a questioning look, "At the end of it Sebastian asked me to be his girlfriend," I said and Harvey's hands instantly went to his heart.
"That is so disgusting," he said in a gushing voice and I laughed at his reaction.
"Just a little," I said and he let out his booming laugh.
"Let's get a picture together," he said and I nodded my head before calling Sebastian over to ask him to take the picture for us. I posed next to Harvey with my arms around his waist and right before Sebastian took the actual picture Harvey moved my head so it was resting on his "breast" and I laughed.
"Congrats you too. Now I need to take these off because they're heavier than you'd think. Thanks for coming and I'm glad you enjoyed it," Harvey said before walking off and leaving me with Sebastian once again.
"So are we going to keep this to ourselves?" He asked me as he took a hold of my hand.
"I don't want to hide it. But I also do want to keep it private as well," I explained looking up at him as I held onto his arm with the hand that wasn't holding his hand.
"We won't have to hide it. When asked about details we can just shrug them off or tell them we're keeping it private. Of course if we want we can still post pictures on Instagram and I'm even willing to be in one of your videos as well," Sebastian said and I nodded my head as I turned and looked ahead as we walked back over to the group.
"Seems like I missed a lot while performing," Maddie said with a smirk once we were mixed in with the rest of our friends.
"You might have," I responded with a smirk and we had a smirk off before we both laughed and failed. I let go of Sebastian and have Maddie a hug congratulating her on tonight.
"Dad is having a party for the cast tonight and you guys are invited," Maddie said addressing us all.
"Well then let's go get this party started!" Harrison shouted.
