Sebastian rolls over, he lets out a sleepy little grumble as he wipes sleep from his eyes and swipes to grab his phone that’s ringing on the bedside table. He vaguely notices it’s dark outside but he answers the phone anyway.
“Mhmm?” He grumbles into the phone. He meant for it to come out as a hello but his brain hadn’t computed yet. He was met with a throaty familiar chuckle down the line.
“Hey baby,” came next, and it made Sebastian feel warm and tingly all the way down to his toes. He wiggled them in his socks and flopped back over in his hotel bed.
“Chris...” he said, his voice coming out on a breathy sigh. It had been a few days since they’d been able to talk. It might be early now but he was waking up more and more by the second. The last few days before had been super busy between night shoots and day press interviews for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier. He was super tired but this was Chris. His Chris. His baby, his everything...he loved Chris. Chris.... Chris. Chris...” his brain happily sang to itself. Still lost between sleep and waking.
“Are you hearing anything I’m saying sweetheart?” Chris asked in his low voice across the line.
Sebastian blinked up at the ceiling and blushed as he admitted “No,” quietly. And began to listen.
Chris laughed again. “I’m sorry, I just realized how early it still is there, or well... Late. Whatever you call it. I didn’t mean to wake you up but I’ve gotta be on set in an hour and I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you beforehand.”
Sebastian hummed, glowing at the praise. “Why?” He asked. His voice coming out a little childish as he was still sleepy.
“Because baby, the first episode was so good! You always do so well, you’re so talented. I love you so much and I love how you play every character you take on with your entire heart and soul, we haven’t seen much of Bucky being a person so far and I know how much you love playing him, you do it so well and you deserve praise for it. I just watched the episode have you seen it yet?” Sebastian shook his head before remembering Chris couldn’t see him.
“Not all the way through. But clips. It was good? You really liked it? I missed having you there... I think Bucky did too,” Chris chuckled again.
“Did you really? I remember quite the rowdy video calls back when you were shooting it, you Anthony, Emily and even David and Wyatt and Daniel seemed to be having a good time on your own,”
“Yeahhh... but I missed you...” Sebastian let out a tiny yawn, “Always miss you...”
“Aw, I miss you too love, but I’ll be in LA in two weeks and you finish filming at the end of the month. Then we can be together in Cali again, I can’t wait to go to the beach with you... honestly I just can’t wait to be with you again. But for now, know that I love you so much, and I’m so fucking proud of you Seb, so proud. Mom said to tell you hi too, and that she’s loving the show,”
Sebastian smiled at that. Lisa was wonderful, that reminded him, he’d have to call his mom. She’d texted him the other day but he’d been too tired to answer.
“Love you too. Miss you... love you...” Chris could tell Sebastian was still spacey and sleepy so he decided to let him go.
“I love you, get some sleep. I’ll talk to you some other time when we’re both awake.”
“M’kay...” Sebastian said. Smacking his dry lips together. The phone dropped to the bed as he curled back into his pillow. Chris waited for him to hang up or say something else but he didn’t. And soon the quiet sound of snoring came across the line. Chris smiled to himself wishing he could be there to hear it in person. To be the one Sebastian was curled into.
“Sleep well honey,” he said quietly before hanging the line up himself.
