Awkward Girls Always Get The Guy (A Sebastian Stan Story) Book 1

Awkward Cooking

A/N: Dedicated to @damnedRoyalty for writing me such a wonderful one-shot that inspired this chapter. All credit goes to you for this. :)

So, after a few QOTD-less chapters, I have finally thought of some more and they shall return once more to the bottom of the chapters. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.

Her voice carried through the apartment in sweet strings of melody and pitch, the actual words unimportant but the sound itself, mesmerising. He was hooked from the very first note, craving to hear more. Valerian's sweet songs lured Sebastian from his place in the living room, causing him to abandon to newspaper article he had been so interested in reading. It now lay forgotten because of her siren-song.

He followed the sound until he came to the kitchen where his own mermaid was busying herself at the stove, making the whole process look as if she were brewing a magical concoction.

Her hair was still short but now ended at her chin, it's dark roots showing through the shocking pink that she had applied last night to her locks for her upcoming film. She officially looked like Diamondback.

She could feel his gaze analysing her hair, so Valerian turned to face him, a smile upon her lips. Sebastian too greeted her with a similar gesture. He walked wordlessly into the room, his socked feet padding across the hard wood flooring. Pit. Pat. Pit. Pat. When the actor was finally reached his beloved, he leaned in close, almost as if he was going to kiss he her but then he whispered in her ear. "You have a beautiful singing voice." suddenly he pulled away, a huge smirk on his face.

Cocky sod, Valerian inwardly imagined herself rolling her eyes.

"What are you cooking?" he asked innocently.

As her lips parted to answer, Sebastian leaned in (like her had moments ago) and stole a kiss from his surprised sweetheart. She responded to his gesture whole-heartedly, pulling his close to her, her sense filled with his very being. Sparks flew as their passion was ignited. Sebastian lifted her onto the cooking counter, away from the choppingboard, Valerian's legs straddled his hips as he kissed her further, his hands exploring her thighs.

She abruptly pulled away, cheeks flushed with desire. "The stew!" she cried, wriggling away from his embrace. She hopped down from the counter and rushed to the stove, where she picked up a wooden spoon and began to stir the delicious smelling mixture.

Sebastian couldn't help but chuckle, his girlfriend's priorities were truly in an odd order. Not that he minded, it was what he loved about her.

His girlfriend sighed with relief, the stew was not ruined but beautifully caramalised. She noticed him gazing at her again. Valerian began to laugh at her actions, Sebastian joined her.

He took her in his arms once more, resting his forehead against hers. "You're so awkward."

"So are you." she giggled, tenderly kissing him again. Valerian pulled away, leaving him wanting more. "I need to dish up dinner."

Sebastian held her closer, placing his lips to her neck. "Not yet." he mumbled against her skin. "There's just something I need to do first-" before he finished his sentence, he pulled her into his arms- bridal style- and kissed Valerian forcably on the lips.

"What about Dinner?" she whispered against his lips.

He grinned, taking her away from the kitchen.

The actor dropped Valerian onto the bed. His lips locked onto hers and arms wrap around her waist as they lay on the mattress. Valerian pulled away, gasping for air, a huge smile playing on her lips.

"I love you, Seb."

"I love you too." he stared at her lustfully. "How about we just skip the dinner and-"

Valerian rolled her eyes. "Not until the wedding night, Seb. You know the rules."

Sebastian gazed down at his girlfriend, pouting. "I was going to say 'skip the dinner and' watch 'Guardians of the Galaxy', I heard it's on Sky now."

This made the petite brunette chuckle, knowing 'Sebby', he probably was going to say 'Guardians of the Galaxy'. "Sorry, hun, but I didn't just slave over a stove for an hour for it to burn."

He mock pouted but smiled. "Fine, how about we eat dinner and watch 'Guardians of the Galaxy'?"

"'I am Groot'."
