I was listening to Wildest Dreams this weekend and this Evanstan fic idea popped into my head....so I wrote it down?
This is basically the first thing Iāve ever āwritten,ā so a HUGE shout out to my sweetheart @musette22 for looking at this and hyping me up!Ā Here we go š¬ (I hope you enjoy)
The song is told from Sebās POV and Chris and Seb are professors at the same college. Chris is an art professor and his specialty is animation, and Seb is a language professor (Romanian) and they work in the same building. Chris is a little older, well respected, always seems stern and always has people around and Seb is newer, maybe hasnāt made many friends on staff yet.
So one day theyāre at some staff function or whatnot and Chris is finally a little more relaxed, a little looser, maybe has some beer in his system and finally really noticed Seb and is like āwhoa.ā Chris walks over and itās instant attraction and they make small talk but then
āHe said, "Let's get out of this town
Drive out of the city, away from the crowds"
So they dip out to Chrisā lake house or whatever and obviously fuck.
āI thought heaven can't help me now
Nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down
He's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
I can see the end as it begins
My one condition isā
Itās beautiful and wonderful and amazing and they connect so well.
āSay you'll remember me standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ha
Wildest dreams, ah-haā
And that happens several times on the weekends for several weeks but Chris never seems to really acknowledge Seb at work beyond just short fleeting glances.
āI said, "No one has to know what we do"
His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
And his voice is a familiar sound
Nothing lasts forever but this is getting good nowā
And Seb is hurt and doesnāt understand why Chris acts so in love on their weekends at the cabin yet doesnāt even pay him any mind at work.
āHe's so tall and handsome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well
And when we've had our very last kiss
My last request is
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress
Staring at the sunset, babe
Red lips and rosy cheeks
Say you'll see me again
Even if it's just in your wildest dreams, ah-ha
Wildest dreams, ah-haā
But even though Chris is falling legit in love hard and fast and he can tell Seb is too, he calls off their relationship. He has had his heart broken in the past and he doesnāt want to be hurt again because this love feels real and true and forever. Heās also never been in an actual relationship with a guy, heās only had hookups and heās scared. And Seb is hurt of course and doesnāt know why Chris broke things off.
āYou'll see me in hindsight
Tangled up with you all night
Burnin' it downā
āSomeday when you leave me
I bet these memories
Follow you aroundā
Chris is sad and is missing Seb but he doesnāt open up to Seb about why or why he broke things off, he just goes on a sabbatical, somewhere artsy like Europe. Itās summer and Seb is in Europe too, in Romania, and follows Chris on Instagram and sees heās in Europe too. Eventually he sees Chris is in Italy and Seb just goes āfuck itā and goes to meet him. And he is able to track Chris down in Florence and Chris is at the Piazzale Michelangelo and Seb spots him and goes over. And they definitely have like a passionate kiss and probably tears and Chris asks Seb to dinner where he explains everything. And he has to say something about ānever in my wildest dreams did I think I would be so lucky to have someone like you. And they spend the rest of the summer soaking up the Italian sun and being together š
