đ¤ | Sebastian, quite frankly, could care less about what your sexuality is. A soul is a soul, and he happens to find yours reasonably pleasant. In his eyes, competence is what matters most. You were certainly more emotionally intelligent than your peers if you were able to decipher such an important part of yourself on your own. Better yet, to have the bravery to speak to him about such a matter.
đ¤ | He notices quite quickly of your tendencies. As a demon, he is rather observant of his surroundings so he can properly dispatch enemies for his master and perform at his top ability. Hence, he takes notice of your secretive nature when it came to your preferences. One instance was when you were gossiping with Mey-Rin when the conversation led to some âgirl talkâ, in other words discussing marriage, kids, and other topics that were answered with complicated responses. Your friend, of course, meant well with her whole heart, but the demon pulled you away after noticing you were becoming rather uncomfortable. Especially during the eighteen hundreds, being queer was looked down upon, so he understood your adamance on hiding who you were attracted to. Though, as stated before, he could care less about that.
đ¤ | He would drop a few hints that he is aware of your predicament, solely for his own amusement. A few jokes might be shared between the two of you, leaving you angrily frowning at him as he tries to remain composed. Or, he might randomly drop the knowledge that he knows how you are feeling then quickly run off to tend to his other duties. He likes to keep you guessing.
đ¤ | If he ever meets your family or friends, then he of course will not tell a soul about your predicament if you so wish. He will acknowledge the nervous twitches of your fingers, the careful thought that goes into your next words, your uneven breathing; there is little to nothing that he does not notice about how you interact with your family or friends. Being closeted about who you are may not necessarily be about how nice and supportive your loved ones are, or about how cruel they are; it might simply come from anxiety, a very natural feeling to have. No matter what the cause is, Sebastian will do his best to understand and support you, in his own way.

You spotted Sebastian smoking by the river, his tired eyes gazing out over the water with a dull glare. He was wearing a black tank top, his usual hoodie wrapped around his waist, and you fought the urge to stare as you passed by him. The uncharacteristic show of skin revealed the tattoos covering his right shoulder and back, intricate patterns and references you knew nothing about etched onto him in black ink. Youâve never seen him like this before, only hearing about the tattoos in passing from Abi when she talked about wanting some of her own, and it always made you curious. They were beautiful, illuminated by the summer sun mercilessly beating down on him, black against ivory skin. He blew out a plume of smoke, clearly deep in thought. You tried to pass quietly but the rustle of grass gave you away, Sebastianâs eyes slid to yours and silence hang between you for just a moment before he looked away, nibbling on his snakebites. While you have spoken to Sebastian a few times, you werenât exactly friends, barely even acquaintances if you were being truthful, the only thread connecting you to him was your shallow friendship with Abigail.
Youâve been in Stardew Valley for a couple months now, spring had passed you by peacefully and ushered in the searing summer heat, though the season just started. Everyone in town was nice enough, welcoming you into the community with open arms, though sometimes you noticed slithers of tension between the townsfolk. Decades of secrets bubbling under the façade of perfect harmony, offhanded remarks that tipped you off to the unpleasant history the people here bore. It was certainly awkward when it happened, that small moment of resentment, you having to act like you havenât noticed. Small town life was awfully different from the city.
Your favourite day of the week was Friday, when everyone gathered at the Stardrop Saloon. The bustling atmosphere was wonderful, and seeing the familiar faces of the residents was comforting after a long week. Nothing like this happened in the city, local bars and clubs gained and lost customers all the time, nothing stopped the city from speeding ahead and evolving into something unrecognizable every day. This was different, the customers were always the same, everyone knew each other by name, and life here was slow and steady. Fridays were the chance for you to catch up with everyone, and without fail it was always a constant in your schedule.
The thought of getting to go to the saloon this evening made you giddy; this week was particularly hard on you. The crops werenât cooperating, and the animals were being difficult, it really took a lot of work to keep up with it all. You continued to trudge along, running all over town to finish up your errands before the evening, from Pierreâs shop to Clintâs to a favour for Penny, the tasks never ended. By the time you were finished, the sun hung low in the sky, getting ready for night. You ran home to drop off your ridiculously heavy bag then rushed back to the saloon.
You opened the door and were immediately hit with the sound of laughter, it put you at ease. Faces turned to look at you, and plenty of smiles were shone your way with casual waves here and there. You made a beeline to the bar, flashing a grin at Emily before ordering your usual fruity cocktail.
Emily took a glass from underneath the bar and started pouring your drink. âHow has your week been?â
âJust the usual, though the animals are being fussy due to the weather, the heat isnât to their tastes,â you laughed.
She nodded, sliding the drink over to you. âThe weather has been quite nice today though, compared to later in the season!â You dreaded the thought of it getting even hotter.
Just like that, the idle chatter continued, people sliding in and out of the conversation for the better part of two hours, clinking glasses together and cracking jokes only the mild buzz of alcohol would facilitate.
You felt a pair of hands suddenly squeeze your shoulders before tugging you out of the crowd. It was Abi, a keen look in her eyes and cheeks rosy from a bit of booze. She dragged you to the more secluded arcade of the saloon, where Sam was once again losing a game to Sebastian.
âSeb, beat Sam faster so our dear farmer and I can play a game.â
This did earn a chuckle out of Sebastian, who then proceeded to finish the game swiftly, much to Samâs dismay.
âYou donât even like pool Abi,â Sam huffed.
âAnd you can barely hit a ball after all these years,â Abi retorted, starting to set up a new game.
Before long the game was ready and Abi was holding a pool cue with as much triumph as she could muster, making joking remarks at Samâs expense. It didnât take long for you to realise Abi was as equally abysmal at pool as Sam. At first it baffled you, why would she want to play if she doesnât know how? But then you saw her ploy, âSeb, can you help me? If I win, Iâll buy you a drink later!â She gave him a cheeky smile.
âHold on! This is so unfair! You canât make fun of me for being crap at pool then make doe eyes at the resident expert! This is tyranny Abigail.â But all Abi did was stick her tongue out at Sam.
Sebastian shrugged before getting up to give her instructions. She cosied up to him quickly, leaning against his chest and making intense eye contact, definitely spurred on by alcohol. You and Sam were kicked out to the couch, watching the whole scene unfold. Sebastian, unfortunately for Abi, seemed unfazed.
âSo, how does it feel being used as a stepping stone for Abiâs private pool lessons?â Sam whispered over to you with a soft chuckle.
You sigh dramatically, âItâs ok, not the first time Iâve been exploited by a lovestruck girl, though she couldâve just asked him, or tried to âplayâ against you.â
âLike Iâd ever let that slide, sheâs too pussy to ask directly anyway, can only use cheap tricks.â Sam sounded amused.
You snorted, âIf she heard you, sheâd chew you out.â
âAbi is too busy making googoo eyes at the townâs emo to even hear what Iâm saying right now.â
Just as Sam finished his sentence, Abi finally managed to hit a ball, earning Sebastian an elated squeal from her.
âYou know, you should hang out with us more often, not just Abi, unless you wanna kick it with the oldies that bad.â Sam now turned to you with a genuine smile, gently bumping your shoulder.
You didnât know how to respond, joking around with Sam like this is certainly fun, and the thought of getting to do this more often did make you feel warm and fuzzy inside. You ended up returning a bashful smile and responding with a soft âIâd like that.â
Another squeal erupted from Abigail as she celebrated her victory, making you and Sam turn back to where the game was being played. Sebastian had stepped away from her and watched as she tested out her new skills at the table. Sam laughed before elbowing your side, âYou gonna join her now that she can play?â But you couldnât respond, laughing instead at the sensation of Samâs elbow on your ribs. You really hoped he wouldnât realise how ticklish you are, but youâre unlucky.
âHoly shit, are you ticklish?â
You immediately blurt out a âNo!â but itâs too late. Sam has caught on now and he instantly begins tickling you relentlessly, your neck, your sides, any skin he can get to while dodging your flailing arms. Your back hits the couch as you try to get away, but Sam just moves with you, determined to keep up this terrible torture method. You cannot stop laughing, to the point your stomach hurts and you can barely breathe, tears sliding down your cheeks, but Sam doesnât give up until youâre squawking âStop! Stop! Oh my god please Iâll pee myself I swear!â between gulping breaths. He finally stops, now laughing at the expense of your dignity. Amid the chaos, you have somehow ended up under him as he hovered over you, arms caging you in to hold himself up. You take this opportunity to kick him in the stomach, making him jump back and allowing you to scramble off the couch and escape.
You sheepishly look over to Abi and Sebastian. Abigail is gawking at the scene, clearly very entertained, Sebastian on the other hand is staring down Sam with a blank look, before catching your eye. His expression doesnât change as you look at each other, his face forever unreadable. Abi pokes his stomach, catching his attention and says, âIâll win this game for you teach.â
With that, she sets up another game, for real this time. As she does, Sam and Sebastian wander off to the bar, probably for more drinks. Abigail is now humming to herself, clearly elated at the way the night has turned out.
The alcohol is starting to get to your head. Earlier with the others you couldnât quite get a buzz going and, in your attempt to kickstart the night, you clearly had too much too fast. As Abi prepares for her first shot, lining the pool cue up on the table, all you can think about is how giggly you feel and how pleasantly numb your face is. You really did not mean to get drunk today, but the little food you had earlier, Samâs attack and those stupid fruity little drinks created a hell of a mix for your body.
You went over to the table to take your turn, savouring the satisfying sound of the billiard balls hitting each other. Abi hands you the pool cue and you lean down with a light thud over the table, the alcohol clearly affecting your motor skills. You run the cue past your fingers, sloppily hitting the ball which bounces around, hitting nothing. You hear a chorus of laughter behind you, the boys have returned with four drinks and were now watching you fail at pool alongside Abi, who was clearly starting to get a little more than tipsy too.
âFor me?â You eye a deliciously red drink in Samâs hand. He nods.
You swipe it away from him and take a long sip, grimacing at the strong taste. He mustâve asked for a double shot, how mischievous.
âNot up for the challenge?â Sam asked, clearly delighted with your expression. That was provocation enough and you happily took another swig before throwing him a smug grin. The four of you clink your glasses together and you start sipping on your drink, pacing yourself, it was definitely too strong for your tastes. You and Abi return to the game as Sam and Sebastian go to the seats to lounge about, murmuring amongst themselves about who knows what.
Time seems to go at an agonizingly crawling pace as Abi slowly beats you at pool. Each turn you both get more careless with your movements, the alcohol now hitting you full force. The pool cue really doesnât want to listen to you, flying all over the place as you try your best to aim for the ball, giggling and leaning over the table, swinging your legs behind you, the game completely lost at this point. Your drink has been long finished, and whatever spirits were mixed into the sweet juices were doing wonderful things to your mood. Everyone else around you were equally merry, cracking jokes and making fun of your shit pool skills. The evening dragged on like this, the moon hitting a high point in the sky before you finally peaked at a clock and realised how late it was.
âOh shit, I gotta go,â the words came out with a slight slur and an involuntary giggle. That prompted the trio to also look at the time, everyone collectively deciding they should go too.
Three hours had passed since Abi first pulled you away from the others at the saloon, and in that time you have definitely grown closer to Abi and Sam, Sebastian however still remained a mystery. Alcohol was a great social lubricant, but it was not a miracle cure, and this particular boy loved to keep to himself. The four of you wandered over to the door, lazily waving goodbye to everyone on your way out, doing your best to sober up.
As soon as you stepped outside, Abi fell down the saloon steps, so much for sobering up. Immediate laughter erupted among the group, fueled by the alcohol. Sam quickly helped her up, Abi herself struggling to stand as she hunched over, grabbing her stomach while giggling uncontrollably. She tried taking a few steps but couldnât quite walk straight, leaning on Sam, who was also swaying all over the place. The scene earned a sigh out of Sebastian, who was surprisingly sober, or maybe good at acting sober? You didnât know.
âIâll get you guys home,â Sebastian said, âAbi first, sheâs the drunkestâŚsomehow.â
She did not drink that much, this is how you discovered sheâs a lightweight, quite a cute trait if you were to say so yourself. The four of you shuffled across the plaza, not far from Pierreâs shop. As you got closer, Abi begun to clumsily sift through her pockets, looking for her keys. After a while she finally fished them out and unlocked her door. Not ten minutes later she was safely tucked in bed, and you were off to drop off Sam, who was giving you two an entire speech on his new song idea while almost tripping over his own feet. He was moving around so erratically you were sure he would topple. You had no idea how he managed to drink so much; it was quite a feat. After a few spins and skips across the plaza, which you may have joined in on, you were at his place, and he was stumbling inside with Sebastian at his side making sure he gets to bed alright.
And then it was just you and Sebastian alone.
âWell I better get going-âyou began, fully intent on walking through the forest back to your farm.
âIâll walk you.â
âOh no, itâs alright, what could possibly happen to me here?â
âA lot.â
Sebastain started walking before you could get another word out, messing with his snake bites again, the metal catching the soft moonlight as it passed between his teeth. The two of you walked in silence, making your way into the woods, which have now gotten considerably dark. In any other forest you wouldâve been terrified, but you knew this place like the back of your hand. The silence stretched into something uncomfortable, your drunken mind couldnât take it, the bleary haze in your head fighting for a conversation topic. You made your way deeper in, passing towering trees and bunches of wildflowers, your arm brushing his as you tried to walk straighter than your feet allowed. You didnât know if Sebastian felt the same, if the silence also felt awkward, if the subtle sensation of your arm brushing against his also sent little jolts through his skin, if he also focused on the way air escaped your lungs just as you focused on his. You didnât understand the emotions that were coursing through you, youâve met hundreds of emo boys back in the city with tattoos, and piercings and motorbikes, in that regard Sebastian wasnât any different, and you didnât know him well enough to distinguish him from them, so why were you feeling like this? It must be the alcohol, the feeling of a man walking next to you a bit too closely and the remnants of laughter that followed you from the saloon were messing with your emotions.
The air was chilly now that the moon was out, and the wind that whistled past caused a shiver to run through you, it made you wish you had more layers on. Sebastian mustâve noticed because before your brain could even catch up with you, he had draped his hoodie over your shoulders.
âThank you,â you muttered.
âNo problem.â
A few beats of silence passed before he asked, âYou smoke?â
âSometimes.â
He stopped in his tracks and fumbled around in his pockets before pulling out two cigarettes and a lighter, pressing one of the cigarettes to his lips and setting it ablaze before offering the other to you. You took them, placing the cigarette to your lips before trying to get the lighter to turn on but after a few futile moments it was clear the thing was newly dead.
âWell shit,â he mumbled before leaning in closer to you, grabbing the lighter from your hands, âCan I?â
You werenât sure what he was asking but you nodded anyway. Sebastian leaned down, eyes closed and touched the end of his cigarette to yours. Your heart started hammering at the proximity, never having been so close to him before, your eyes couldnât help but stare at his features, the milky skin, the tiny mole on his left eyelid, his slightly chapped lips. The breath was stuck in your throat, youâve never been so grateful for your bad habits before. Your own cigarette lit up and you inhaled softly, taking in the nicotine. Sebastianâs eyes fluttered open, and he looked straight up into yours before pulling away.
âThere ya go,â he said it so casually you were almost dumbfounded.
You stayed silent for just a moment before letting out a soft, âThanks.â
âSâalright.â
His face was barely illuminated by the cigarette, but you could see the way he looked at you, it was intense, and made you look away, focusing on the grass instead. He took a drag of his cigarette, breathing out a cloud as he talked, âSmoking is a bad habit yâknow,â a playful smile on his lips.
You snorted, âlook whoâs talking.â
âIâm a lost cause.â
âExcuses.â
You could feel his eyes follow your movements as you fidgeted with his hoodie. He breathed out another plume, leaning down towards you. âIf I quit smoking, who else would you stare at as you walk by?â he was teasing now, the smell of alcohol heavy on his tongue. âYou arenât subtle.â
âIâm just looking at my surroundings!â you sputtered.
âSure.â
You never realised you stared so often, unsure of what to think of the news.
He began a slow walk towards the farm, making sure youâre following along. You stumbled after him, your stomach now starting to feel queasy and your head much too light for your own good. The nicotine of the cigarette you were puffing away at eased your senses and you focused on getting home in one piece. The silence was much more comfortable now, maybe alcohol is a miracle cure after all.
Before long, the farm came into view and you staggered into it, wading past tall grass and large rocks to finally make it onto your front porch, Sebastian following closely behind. You looked for your keys, leaning on your front door for support, your body struggling to keep upright now that your bed was so close by. When you finally got a hold of them and managed to open your door, Sebastian escorted you straight into bed which you collapsed into it immediately, nodding off. You barely registered Sebastianâs soft goodnight as he walked away.
angy sebby (audio on you wonât regret it)
--Check out Pt.1 first; It means a lot :)--
It was early-ish and the house smelled of coffee and cinnamon. The crackling of oil in a pan occasionally rose to be a loud sizzle. The sounds of popping from the skillet mixed with that of thunder and rain outside the window.
You rose from the bed and picked up the dusty bag at the bedside. It was heavy and smelled of coal. You wiped your eyes as if it'd wake you up faster-it didn't- and walked toward the house door.
"Hey. No no no. You didn't even have breakfast." Your husband sped walked over to you and held you by the waist. You felt butterflies rise in your stomach.
"I just need to put this in the shipping crate outside." You tried to negotiate with the man.
"You have all day to do that. Right now you need to sit down and eat." He dropped the bag on the floor and spun you around, guiding you to the table. It had one chair. It always did, even before Sebastian moved in.
This was the first time you pulled it out from the table and sat in it. He set a cup of coffee and a plate of complete breakfast down. He stood at the other end of the table and ate, holding his plate. You looked at him, regret washing over you.
"I should have bought us another chair." You said. He looked at you.
"Don't worry about that right now." He said softly.
You shut up and ate your breakfast, but while eating some of the hashbrowns you'd come to realize that you never bought anything as decoration for the house.
The wallpaper was still a leafy green color and the TV still set on the floor. Your room was empty, just a bed, and the only reason you bought the extension of the kitchen was to convince the mariner to give you the mermaid pendant.
'What was it he said?' You can't remember what the guy said. It was raining and you were too frustrated to make a mental note of it.
You finished your plate of food and stood up. You mindlessly began doing the dishes. Sebastian gently nudged you aside and assisted you. You smiled.
"I remember when we still just barely knew eachother." He said. You leaned your head on him.
"You would come out of the mines, covered in snow and ice, wander around the town for ages, and find me at the dock. "
"You gave me a frozen tear. I had no clue how you'd known my affinity toward them, but you'd return and bring me gifts. Every week." He held onto your hand.
"Everytime you'd find me, I'd know it was you behind me. Your footsteps were so familiar. You even started visiting me. The moment my mom opened the shop, you'd come straight to my room, wake me up, and give me sashimi." He chuckled at the warm memories.
"You care so much, and I love you for that. But there's a time when you need to take a breath and stop working so hard." He faced you head on.
"Lately you've been scaring me. You wake up at 6:00 and work for 18 hours straight. You've been getting reckless in the mines too. You've been bringing more and more elixirs and bombs. " He held onto your shoulders tightly.
"I'm sorry. " You tried to say more but you couldn't.
"Sometimes, I feel like I still barely know you." He frowned and avoided eye contact.
"I'm sorry." You repeated. He hugged you.
"Stop saying sorry. I'm not mad, and you don't need to ask for forgiveness. You've just-" He couldn't find the words, but you understood what he wanted to say.
You closed your eyes and hugged him. It was exausting staying on auto pilot for so long.
"Remember when I found you on your bike late at night after we first got together? You let me hop on the back and you drove me to see the edge of the city?" You asked. The memory replaying in your mind.
"Yes. Of course!" He smiled as the memory replayed for him as well.
"When you asked me what I thought of the city, at first I wanted to say:
"It's beautiful!"
But I stopped. I took a moment to think and grasp that feeling I had. I felt strangely sad. It was like a heavy pit in my stomach. It scared me. I wanted to change the subject, but I didn't want to be obvious. So instead I just turned to you and smiled." You said to him not sure where this was going.
"I just thought it was a nice memory." You admitted.
"The city was beautiful." You added before going quiet.
"Do you want to see it again?" He asked.
"That would be nice." You said.

Sebastian x gn!reader (reader is a whore for sebastian uwu)
Lee: reader
Ler: Sebastian
Warnings: I don't like Sebastian, but I tried my best! Tickles! Sebastian is a bitch!
______________________________________________________________
You know you asked for this, practically begged Sebastian into helping you with your studies (but no one needs to know that), and now that heâs finally helping you, why was it suddenly so hard to focus?! No matter what you did, it was like Sebastianâs words simply bounced off of your brain.Â
Itâs not like heâs a bad teacher by any means. If anything, heâs a bit too captivating. Every time you try to pay attention, your focus ends up on his appearance rather than on his words. Whenever you catch yourself practically ogling at him, you end up burying your head down in shame, face as ripe as an apple. Of course, Sebastian is no idiot. That doesnât mean he wonât have a bit of fun with you first, though.Â
Your thoughts come back to earth the moment you feel the end of his ruler guiding your chin back up, forcing you to make eye contact âYou seem a bit distracted. We canât have that now, can we?âÂ
âUgh, that stupid smirkâ is all you can think of when you look back at his features. He always had that amused yet condescending look that drove you up the wall without fail. The more you think about it, the warmer your face feels, somehow.
Before you can even think of stuttering out a reply, youâre suddenly startled by a puff of air caressing the shell of your ear.Â
In the blink of an eye, Sebastian managed to appear behind you. He placed his gloved hands on your shoulders, giving a firm yet comforting squeeze. You try to look back at him, skeptical of his intentions, but he simply shushes you before you even get a peep in. âRelax, Iâm simply trying to aid you. Iâve heard that a good massage can help with oneâs focusâ he shoots you with his typical calm and innocent smile, though by now you should know better that heâs anything but.Â
Still, you canât help but sigh in relief as he continues the massage. Slowly but surely making you relax and drop your guard. If he kept this up, you might actually fall asleep. Though, that didnât last long.Â
âEek?!â you squeak out, almost jumping out of your seat when you feel his nails tracing up your neck to your ears. When did he even take his gloves off?! Sneaky bastard.Â
âYou must stay still for the massage to take effect, dear~â he practically purrs against your ear, causing goosebumps to rise over your skin. Stupid Sebastian! Stupid pet name!
You know heâs just messing with you, toying with you. You want to complain and call him out, yet you canât bring yourself to. Probably because youâre too busy trying and failing to not double over in laughter as his nails keep expertly teasing those sensitive spots.Â
The way he keeps whispering into your ear, the way his nails trace and caress every inch of skin he can get his hands on, from the tips of your ears to where your neck meets your back. Itâs all so unbearably ticklish, yet you love every moment of it.
You bury your laughing face into your hands, hoping to retain some semblance of pride, but itâs too late for that now. By the time heâs done, you feel borderline dizzy with joy.Â
Sebastian walks back to his original position, as if he didnât just turn you into a pathetic wet wipe of a person with a few, simple teases. âReady to continue the lesson?â
You give a bashful nod. Despite⌠whatever that was, your head feels strangely clear. Maybe he did have good intentions all along, who knows. âThank youâŚâ is all you manage to whisper out.
He looks at you with a smile âNo need to thank me. Iâm simply one hell of a tutorâ

Sebastian Vettel with Schumacher daughter? Age Gap/Forbidden love affair?
â Summary: Sebastian adored being your boyfriend, even if that meant lying to his idol. In where Sebastian and you, the daughter of Michael Schumacher, are in a secret relationship.
â Sebastian Vettel x Schumacher Daughter. â Forbidden Love. Fluff. Kisses. â im thinking in a second part
You barely remember Seb as a child, not that you should feel guilty about that, life was busy then and there were so many people in your life that it was hard to keep him so present years later. But for Seb, your existence was still in the back of his mind, even after all this time; when you met again in the paddock, it was instantaneous, the feeling, the looks and the speed of your heartbeats were synchronized. Every night before you went to sleep you thought about all the things Seb had said during the day, their fleeting encounters and the interviews he gave after the races. Even though the feelings were there at first sight, the road to stability was a little slower.Â
Every time they saw each other, they were surrounded by other pilots, which kept them together, since despite their age difference, they were still among the youngest. This gave them an excuse to spend more time together, but it should be made clear that even if the conversations were fluid and they always had a great time together, both kept their desires buried deep in their hearts and only let themselves be seen under the fascination of their eyes whenever they met. You could say that the mask of a mere friendly relationship was broken when Seb gave you a kiss on the cheek at one of the many parties, as innocent as it was, it changed everything for you.Â
His rosy cheeks and the disappearance of Seb's selfâconfident attitude made you rest your lips on his. Fleeting, sweet and full of experiences to be discovered. That same night, on the balcony covered with plants, the German asked you to go out with him and you accepted.Â
Almost half a year had passed since that first date when you and Seb became engaged and you couldn't be happier. Of course, it had its complications, the schedules of a Formula 1 driver and a college student with panic attacks about failing were not easy to manage, and there was another little problem. Hiding it from your father, Michael Schumacher. You weren't sure how your father, who had previously warned you that F1 drivers were a noâgo area (and to be honest, you hadn't been that interested until Seb's arrival), would react, and on top of that, your father was your boyfriend's biggest idol and absolutely refused to let him down. For these reasons, your dates consisted of meetings in your car with fast food or simple walks listening to music during the weekends that you had a career (although it was not always possible because many times you did not accompany your father), while during the week they usually met in your apartment. It was no big deal, a small apartment that you had asked your parents for, with the excuse that you wanted to be closer to the university and that it was hard for you to concentrate at home with your siblings, they accepted on the condition that you could provide your own food. So, in addition to all the obstacles that were placed in front of your relationship, there were the hours of tutoring that you offered to the children in order to feed yourself. But it was all worth it. You were privileged, and having an apartment to meet Seb was an incredible advantage in your secret relationship.Â
âYou're coming to Monaco,â Seb asked, sitting on the floor as they ate at your coffee table in front of the TV.Â
âShould I? I have a couple of essays dueâSeb looked at you as you pursed your lips, you seemed to be thinking about itâBut if I bring my computer I should come.
Your boyfriend smiled and unconsciously his shoulders shrugged in happiness.Â
âThat's good, we'll be able to sneak out in the eveningâand slightly tilting towards your body with a mischievous smile he addedâand I can help you with your homework.Â
âYes, sure. Homeworkâyou rolled your eyes and Seb laughed quietly as he ate. He was so happy that his cheeks were red and sore.Â
                                                     ââââââââââââââââââ
The weather in Monaco was nice, you were wearing a tank top and an ankleâlength blue skirt, a cool wind was blowing in from the balcony of your room and you decided to add a black jacket just in case the weather got even colder. Your younger brother looked at you with an arched eyebrow when you added pearl earrings to your outfit.
âAre you going out?" your brother questioned, not taking his eyes off his mobile phone.
âYep â you didn't lie. You checked that everything was in your bag, and before you left you glanced briefly at your brother, "Don't stay playing and go out to dinner, at least with dad.
He nodded and you left the room walking down the corridors of the hotel with a smile on your face. As soon as you reached the lobby you spotted your dad talking to his friends and among them, Seb. Everyone seemed to be in a good mood and was joking loudly, you approached slowly and your boyfriend was the first one to see you with a little wave of his hand, which your father turned away from. Just as everyone was joking, they also greeted you. You approached your father just to say hello and let him know that you were going out with friends, you lied. He nodded, whispering to take care of yourself and not to come back late, you shook your head in agreement and before you left, you glanced briefly at Seb, whose eyes were, as usual in your presence, sparkling.
The plan was the same every race weekend, you would leave a few minutes early with the excuse that you would spend the night with your friends or colleagues, you would wait a few minutes a block away from the hotel they were staying at and Seb would come by with his car to pick you up and spend the evening together. It was one of their favourite activities to eat snacks in the car while they were driving and then they would buy food to take away and enjoy the evening in a prominent place in the city where the race was taking place.
You waited a few minutes on a wellâlit corner and before you could even get bored of looking at the beautiful golden poles, Seb appeared in front of you with his rented car. You quickly hopped off the curb and opened the car door, Seb grabbed your bag as you settled into the seat and left a kiss on your cheek. You buckled in and he rested your bag on your lap.
âReady?" Seb raised his eyebrows as if they were about to run a race.
âYou grabbed the handle of your bag and Seb pulled away, smiling.
âYou don't know," he asked as if it were obvious as he averted his eyes from the road for half a second to give you one of his cocky smiles, "We're going to spend our dinner at the best place in Monaco.
You pursed your lips into a smile; he was always so selfâconfident, so confident of making you nervous with the simplest acts that he managed to leave you speechless. You swallowed as you watched him turn down the streets of Monaco, he always drove with one hand and it would hurt your pride to accept how handsome he looked when he did.
âBy the way, congratulations on passing the General Psychology exam â Seb congratulated you and that made your heart pound, but without thinking too much you shouted.
âHow do you know that? I wanted to tell you at dinner," you stammered awkwardly, slapping his thigh; at your reaction Seb laughed hysterically, realising that it wasn't you who had told him, "You were guessing?
âNo, no, honey," your heart trembled slightly at the nickname, before Seb continued laughing and tapped the steering wheel gently as he parked in front of a beautiful restaurant. He entangled his hands and with a kiss he placed on your forehead, he added, "Michael's been bragging about it all afternoon.
You gasped at the thought of your father bragging to his friends about something as mundane as passing an exam, especially in front of Seb. You covered your face with the palm of your hands and when you opened your mouth to moan, Seb spoke again.
âAnd I think you should too.
You frowned uncomprehendingly as you pulled your hands away from his face.
âWhat?
âYou know, bragging, being proud of what you accomplishâSeb shrugged but his gaze was steadyâYou should be more proud of your accomplishments, I am. Every time we meet and you tell me how you've been studying so hard and how well you've done, it just makes me so happy.
You fluttered your eyelashes not believing what you were hearing, your hand trembled and being held still by Seb noticed the slight movement and tilted his head leaving another kiss on your cheek.
âI'm going to get our food." Seb got out of the car, the heat that had formed between his hands slowly subsided but the tingling did not. You felt yourself swallow hard before you threw yourself down on the seat laughing and wiggling your feet, Seb liked it so much that the only thing you wanted at that moment was for him to feel that way too.
                                          ââââââââââââââââââ
The night in Monaco was quieter than you would think. They had settled near a park, which due to the timetable was closed and they couldn't walk around. Having finished all your food we took the opportunity to rest your legs on Seb's lap with your back against the door. You were telling him about one of the many dramas of your university. Even if he pretended not to, Seb loved drama and even more so if it didn't involve him.
âI swear she rejected him, and he was really angry â you waved your hands dramatising the whole situation.
âThat's not very nice," Seb commented. "Obviously being rejected isn't the best experience, but getting angry at the person I doubt it makes it any better.
âExactly! And then he accused her of taking advantage of him and threw the ice cream on her dressâyou paused and slapped your thigh hardâGod, an ice cream Seb! If someone really did that to me they wouldn't have any hairs left to pluck.
âThat's really awful, but now that you mention it," Seb began, registering your curious stare, "It's time for us to go get some ice cream.
Lowering your legs off his body you both celebrated your successful night with loud music and silly singing, at a traffic light you came to ask him.
âHow are you feeling about the weekend," Seb hadn't mentioned the subject all night which surprised you, it's not like he could tell you the team's strategies but he kept a pretty wide berth for the expression of his feelings about racing. Seb scratched the back of his neck and, with his eyes on the road, replied.
âI'm not sure... For some reason everyone seems so interested in winning in Monaco that the fact that it's not so special to me keeps me... Confused.
âSeb... I can assure you that Monaco is not that important, I mean no more than other races," you assured with a confidence that made your boyfriend grimace, "Really, you'll do fine.
âWell, if a Schumacher says so, I guess I'll just have to listen to him," Seb's car got closer and closer to the busy streets of Monaco and as soon as they found a place to park for ice cream they pulled over with smiles already formed from anticipation. Opening the car door, you didn't hold back your comment.
âOf course, the winning instinct is in my blood," you exclaimed, putting your foot on the floor and looking up, and before you could warn him, you grabbed Seb's elbow to pull him into the car and slammed the door abruptly shut, stowing yourself in the safety of the car. Seb, who still didn't understand, screamed.
 You covered his mouth with your palm only to direct your eyes a few metres away from you, where Michael Schumacher was leaving a restaurant with his friends and your brother. You both held your breath.

but none of that matters. none of it is needed. he doesn't physical things to show his love for you.
it's that his kisses are full of hope and dreams. it's how gentle he handles you when your bodies meet as one. it's the fact he dances with you in the stove light to songs of old.
he spins you around and right off your feet. he waltzes with you till the candles are burned and the wine is gone.
and he'll love you till his last breath.

a/n: i never thought i'd be writing for the emo boy but here i am. hope you guys liked this as much as i liked writing this! :D
Like the green rain phenomenon or the cute little junimo creatures that live in the community center, thereâs always something new to experience in the valley. As odd as it might be.
Hunched over, tending to your cropsâis like living in wait, the calm before the storm, the thrum of anticipation as you await the next exciting thing.
Like todayânow.
âAh, there you are.â
The garden shears in your hands are dropped into the thick down crawl of growing fruit. You look up, squinting your eyes due to the warm beat of dying sunlight.
âSebastian?â you pause, looking up at him from your spot amongst growing melon vines. Your overalls smeared with dirt and damp with sweatâthis is the last state youâd want to be seen in.
âHey farmer,â The keys dangling from his index finger jingle as he gives you a close-lipped smile. âWanna go for a ride?â
â
The place Sebastian stops at is quiet.
But not in the way most people thinkâthe valley is never quiet, birds chirping, the breeze singing through tall grass and the rustle of branches swaying slowly. Youâre aware of the sounds in the recesses of your mind.Â
The view is breath-taking.
The sun set long before you arrived on Sebastianâs cliff side spot. Itâs cool and grassy, ticking your ankles as you walk through the field. The air, no longer warm but a cool breeze that you greedily inhale.
You stop right before the edge, thereâs a big drop that you'd rather not slip and fall into. Zuzu city lay just under the horizon, a smatter of light in the otherwise now-dark forest. A cluster of flashing lights that remind you of starsâthat have fallen and gathered from the night sky.
âAmazing, I know.â Sebastian says, a few steps behind you. Heâs leaning against his bike, staring at the same view as you. âZuzu city is miles from here, but thereâs so much lightâyou can see it even from high up.â
You fold your arms, turning your back at the viewâfacing him. âWell, it is nicer from afar.â
Sebastian gives you a look, then nods his head to the grassy patch behind him. âMhm. Letâs sit?â
You settle down together, side by side. You, him, and his motorbike beside himâthereâs barely any space between your legs. You feel the warmth of proximityâso close. What youâd give to bridge that gap once and for all.
âWant a drink?â he asks, pulling out a beer bottle from his hoodie pocketâyour brow raises, a miracle it didnât break on the way. âOnly got one though.â
You shrug, taking the bottle. Itâs warmâwarmed by his body heat. âSâokay with me. Weâll just haveâta share.â
He looks at you, eyes momentarily flickering to your lips as you use your teeth to pop the bottle cap off. âI guess we do.â
â
The beer is settling warmly low in your stomach, loosening every tightly wound muscle in your body. You feel weightless, the edges of your mind made fuzzy.Â
âIâve been savinâ up a lot,â he suddenly says, picking absentmindedly at the blades of grass underneath him. âAlmost have enough too. Once I do, Iâm skipping outta this town on my bike.â
You nod your head. âIt is a pretty cool bike.â
âMhm,â he drawls, patting the side of his motorcycleâalmost lovingly. âItâs gonna take me all the way to Zuzu city.â
âZuzu city,â you repeat slowly, feeling the sound of the words in your mouth. Itâs unpleasant, Zuzu city is a place youâd rather leave behind. You look down at the view of it, squinting. âWhy go there?â
He pauses, inhaling the cool night air deeply. His fingers itchâlike theyâre searching for the comforting hold of cigarettes he so enjoys.Â
A part of you wishes you didnât ask. Difficult conversations and cliff sides donât mesh well together, you think. You donât dare move a muscle as you wait for him, your eyes drifting back to the glittering light-filled view of Zuzu city.
âItâs suffocating hereâeverything about the valley,â he replies mirthlessly. âI live in the basement of my momâs house for fuckâs sake. I know how she looks at me, like she couldâve done so much more to make me less of a shitbag. Maybe she couldâve, I donât care. Itâs way too late now.â
A low whistle escapes past your lips. You swirl the beer bottle loosely in your grip. âI seeâŚâ
Sebastian narrows his eyes at you, scoffing. âYouâre pretty shit at comforting words, yâknow that?â
âHarsh,â you look at him quizzically, shoving the beer bottle into his hands. He accepts it immediately. âWhat do you want me to say, Seb?âÂ
âNothing,â he smirks, downing a generous gulp of beer, the bottle is a little less than half full now. ââm just teasing. Donât gimme that look. I didnât want comfort anyway, Iâve had enough of that. I want you to tell me the stone cold truth.â
âPromise not to get pissed off?â
Sebastian clicks his tongue against his teeth, then smiles. âDepends on what you say.â
âWow, guess Iâll have to lie.â you joke.
âHeyââ
âKidding.â You laugh softly at his pinched expression. His eyes narrowedâlacking any real aggressionâat you as you poke harmless fun.Â
You grin, slowly turning back to the view. âYou wonât find yourself there,â you say simply, taking a slow sip of beer, the smoothness of it running smoothly down your throat. âBelieve me, Iâd know.â
Sebastian turns to face you, irritation spelled out in every feature of his face.Â
âSmartassâŚâ
âHey, you asked for the stone cold truth,â you lift your fingers into air quotations to emphasize your point.
âTch. Tell me this then. If I canât find myself there, or here in the valley. Where the hell do I go?âÂ
You pause, clicking the bottle with your nails idly. Heâs irritated obviously. But you think more frustrated and confused than anything.
You sigh, then smile. The valley hasnât been the kindest to its resident shut-in.
âMid-life crisis at 24,â you tease gently, poking at his side. Sebastian shoots you a heatless glare. âDonât worry too much Seb, your hair is gonna turn gray.â
âHa-ha,â he replies sourly. âYou talk as if that isnât the same reason you moved to the valley.â
âHey, I gave a generous amount of my life to Joja,â you snort, shifting your feet into a better resting position. âI paid my dues over there before I found some semblance of peace here.â
âI canât just sit around and wait my whole life.â
âThen donât,â you reply simply. âGod knows I wish I followed my dear old grampsâ footsteps sooner.â
âIt isnât that simple.â
âYep. It isnât. It does get easier though.â
âYou say it so easily.â
âSometimes, it just is.â you reply. âOnly sometimes, though.â
For all you remember, your grandfather absolutely adored the valley, though he couldnât convince you in the height of your angsty teenage phase to do the same. Youâre long past that now, life didnât go as planned and you ended up right where your grandfather said you would be.
Funny, how fate works so mysteriously, so weirdly.
You shake that thought away, turning to Sebastianâwho has the same contemplative expression as you.
Heâs silent, thinking. His fingers grasping and twirling the drawstrings of his hoodie. âYou never told me the story.â
âWell,â you purse your lips, handing him the bottle. He drops the drawstrings to grab it. A wordless agreement between the two of you to share what remains of the liquid. âYou nâver asked.â
âI wanna hear it,â he says, looking at you at the corner of his glittering obsidian eyes. âplease?â
âHow polite,â you laugh, he lightly hits you on the back of your head with his palm. âOuch. No need to be rough wâme, Iâll tell you.â
You clear your throat with an obnoxious ahem. âOnce upon a timeâŚâ
ââCâmon farmer, stop messing around. I wanna know your story,â he interjects, and it almost sounds like a plea. âNo theatrics.â
Your lips flatten into a grim line. Heâs being unusually insistent on the topic. But now that you think about it, you havenât told anyone why you moved into the farm. Not your mother, not your father, and definitely not anyone else in Pelican Town.
Sebastian may be your first, you think to yourselfâinnuendo unintended.
You hug your arms closer to your chest, the cool draft sliding over your skinâmaking you shiver. No better way to battle the uncomfortable situation with an even more uncomfortable conversation. You take a deep breath.
âI was a fresh graduate when I started working at Jojaâworked my way up from customer service to marketing. Crazy, right?â you chuckle, though it sounds hollow even to you. âAll the pretentious proposals I would write and those useless meetings thatâd take forever. There wasnât a day where I didnât hate my 20 year old self for starting at Joja. 5 years down the fucking drain when I quit. Let me tell you, itâs the best decision I made in my stupid corporate slave life.â
Sebastian says nothing, he hands the bottle back to you, which you take a generous swig of. You grip the bottle tightly around its neck, the warm feeling of alcohol loosening your tongue.Â
You exhale deeply through your nose. âI was in my cubicle when I just âbout had enoughâby the way, I hate that theyâre called cubicles, I felt like a number in some executiveâs spreadsheets instead of a living breathing person.â all that talking and your throat itches for more of the sweet burn of alcoholâyou oblige it with another weighty gulp. âGrandpa left me this letter, told lilâ old me not to open it until I really, really needed to. Now that I think of it, he knew.â
Your voice cracks by the end of it. Your tongue feels way too thick for your mouth. And your eyes blurâthere seems to be twice as many stars as usual.
Sebastian stays quiet, reflective even. Though his hands have stilled, and he feels closer than he was earlier. Itâs warmer, you think.
If he asks, youâve decided youâll blame it on the alcohol.
â
You and Sebastian talk for hours after, the bottle of beer being passed between the both of you too often. You feel a tad tipsyâhaving drank the lionâs share of beer. Your head lolls onto your arms as you talk about everything then nothing.Â
Thereâs a fair moment of silence that blankets the two of you afterâcertainly not uncomfortable. You feel Sebastain knows the fact more than anyone. He seems to thrive in the quiet moments.
âI donât think Iâm leaving the valley any time soon, though,â he says softly, breaking the tranquil silence.Â
So heâs been thinking. âWhy so?â
He shrugs his shoulders, taking the final sip of beer that finishes the bottle. âSomethingâs makinâ it worth staying a little longer.â His eyes meet yours, albeit for a secondâbefore he refocuses on the cliff side view.Â
Ah, you understand.
Suddenly, alcohol isnât the only thing making you feel so warm. You thank the stars for the dark, for hiding any warm pinkness in your expression. You smile, more to yourself than anything. Taking the bottle from him, brushing your fingers over his perpetually cold ones.
The bottle is lighter than it was at the beginning of the nightâyour shoulders too, less achy, less stiff. With all that weight off of them, you can afford to be less wound up.Â
You tip the bottle over the grass, nothing but a single drop comes out. You watch it fall and drop into the grass. âGood. This something thinks youâll come to like it even.â
Sebastian tilts his head, a tentative smile playing on his lips. âThatâs presumptive.â
You shrug, smirking. âI have a sense for this type of stuff.â
âReally now?â
âMhm. I donât just lie for no reason. And my senses are telling me youâll be alright.â
You hear the silent hitch of his breath, the momental widening of his eyes and the tremble in his jaw. It saddens you slightly, no one has probably reassured him of it before.
God knows you needed some while working at Joja, youâre just returning your dues to the universeâand to him.
He laughs softly, and bitterly. His fingers twitch againâfor that darn cigarette. âGod, I sure hope so.â
Sebastian will be just fine, you know that. And itâs about time he knew it too.

You pause, clicking the bottle with your nails idly. Heâs irritated obviously. But you think more frustrated and confused than anything.
You sigh, then smile. The valley hasnât been the kindest to its resident shut-in.
âMid-life crisis at 24,â you tease gently, poking at his side. Sebastian shoots you a heatless glare. âDonât worry too much Seb, your hair is gonna turn gray.â
âHa-ha,â he replies sourly. âYou talk as if that isnât the same reason you moved to the valley.â
âHey, I gave a generous amount of my life to Joja,â you snort, shifting your feet into a better resting position. âI paid my dues over there before I found some semblance of peace here.â
âI canât just sit around and wait my whole life.â
âThen donât,â you reply simply. âGod knows I wish I followed my dear old grampsâ footsteps sooner.â
âIt isnât that simple.â
âYep. It isnât. It does get easier though.â
âYou say it so easily.â
âSometimes, it just is.â you reply. âOnly sometimes, though.â
For all you remember, your grandfather absolutely adored the valley, though he couldnât convince you in the height of your angsty teenage phase to do the same. Youâre long past that now, life didnât go as planned and you ended up right where your grandfather said you would be.
Funny, how fate works so mysteriously, so weirdly.
You shake that thought away, turning to Sebastianâwho has the same contemplative expression as you.
Heâs silent, thinking. His fingers grasping and twirling the drawstrings of his hoodie. âYou never told me the story.â
âWell,â you purse your lips, handing him the bottle. He drops the drawstrings to grab it. A wordless agreement between the two of you to share what remains of the liquid. âYou nâver asked.â
âI wanna hear it,â he says, looking at you at the corner of his glittering obsidian eyes. âplease?â
âHow polite,â you laugh, he lightly hits you on the back of your head with his palm. âOuch. No need to be rough wâme, Iâll tell you.â
You clear your throat with an obnoxious ahem. âOnce upon a timeâŚâ
ââCâmon farmer, stop messing around. I wanna know your story,â he interjects, and it almost sounds like a plea. âNo theatrics.â
Your lips flatten into a grim line. Heâs being unusually insistent on the topic. But now that you think about it, you havenât told anyone why you moved into the farm. Not your mother, not your father, and definitely not anyone else in Pelican Town.
Sebastian may be your first, you think to yourselfâinnuendo unintended.
You hug your arms closer to your chest, the cool draft sliding over your skinâmaking you shiver. No better way to battle the uncomfortable situation with an even more uncomfortable conversation. You take a deep breath.
âI was a fresh graduate when I started working at Jojaâworked my way up from customer service to marketing. Crazy, right?â you chuckle, though it sounds hollow even to you. âAll the pretentious proposals I would write and those useless meetings thatâd take forever. There wasnât a day where I didnât hate my 20 year old self for starting at Joja. 5 years down the fucking drain when I quit. Let me tell you, itâs the best decision I made in my stupid corporate slave life.â
Sebastian says nothing, he hands the bottle back to you, which you take a generous swig of. You grip the bottle tightly around its neck, the warm feeling of alcohol loosening your tongue.Â
You exhale deeply through your nose. âI was in my cubicle when I just âbout had enoughâby the way, I hate that theyâre called cubicles, I felt like a number in some executiveâs spreadsheets instead of a living breathing person.â all that talking and your throat itches for more of the sweet burn of alcoholâyou oblige it with another weighty gulp. âGrandpa left me this letter, told lilâ old me not to open it until I really, really needed to. Now that I think of it, he knew.â
Your voice cracks by the end of it. Your tongue feels way too thick for your mouth. And your eyes blurâthere seems to be twice as many stars as usual.
Sebastian stays quiet, reflective even. Though his hands have stilled, and he feels closer than he was earlier. Itâs warmer, you think.
If he asks, youâve decided youâll blame it on the alcohol.
â
You and Sebastian talk for hours after, the bottle of beer being passed between the both of you too often. You feel a tad tipsyâhaving drank the lionâs share of beer. Your head lolls onto your arms as you talk about everything then nothing.Â
Thereâs a fair moment of silence that blankets the two of you afterâcertainly not uncomfortable. You feel Sebastain knows the fact more than anyone. He seems to thrive in the quiet moments.
âI donât think Iâm leaving the valley any time soon, though,â he says softly, breaking the tranquil silence.Â
So heâs been thinking. âWhy so?â
He shrugs his shoulders, taking the final sip of beer that finishes the bottle. âSomethingâs makinâ it worth staying a little longer.â His eyes meet yours, albeit for a secondâbefore he refocuses on the cliff side view.Â
Ah, you understand.
Suddenly, alcohol isnât the only thing making you feel so warm. You thank the stars for the dark, for hiding any warm pinkness in your expression. You smile, more to yourself than anything. Taking the bottle from him, brushing your fingers over his perpetually cold ones.
The bottle is lighter than it was at the beginning of the nightâyour shoulders too, less achy, less stiff. With all that weight off of them, you can afford to be less wound up.Â
You tip the bottle over the grass, nothing but a single drop comes out. You watch it fall and drop into the grass. âGood. This something thinks youâll come to like it even.â
Sebastian tilts his head, a tentative smile playing on his lips. âThatâs presumptive.â
You shrug, smirking. âI have a sense for this type of stuff.â
âReally now?â
âMhm. I donât just lie for no reason. And my senses are telling me youâll be alright.â
You hear the silent hitch of his breath, the momental widening of his eyes and the tremble in his jaw. It saddens you slightly, no one has probably reassured him of it before.
God knows you needed some while working at Joja, youâre just returning your dues to the universeâand to him.
He laughs softly, and bitterly. His fingers twitch againâfor that darn cigarette. âGod, I sure hope so.â
Sebastian will be just fine, you know that. And itâs about time he knew it too.
Sebastian likes frogs. Emphasis on the word likes.
He appreciates them, they do good for the environment. They eat up all the nasty flies that buzz around the mountain lake, too. He doesnât have to worry about mosquitos snaking on his blood while he smokes. Itâs just a plus that he finds them cool and interesting.
Which most people find weird. Sebastian thinks itâs weird that they find it weird. Frogs arenât going out of their way to bother people.
Yes, he likes them. Theyâre his favorite animal, certainly.
But favorite is not enough for him to want to smooch a frog.
âSam, Iâm not gonna fucking kiss a frog.â
âCâmon! Itâll be like the movie!â Sam teases, insistently shoving Sebastian to the frog innocently sitting on a park bench. âWho knows, maybe itâll be your very own froggy princessââ
âDidnât the girl turn into a frog when she kissed it,â he shoots back, elbowing Sam backwards in the gut. The blond lets out an overdramatic hiss of pain, bent over and clutching his stomach. âAbby, back me up here.â
âI never watched that stuff,â Abigail shrugs, watching with amusement. She makes no move to help at all, comfortably resting against the wide wooden posts of a fence. âWatched a lotta cartoons though. Phineas and Ferb is my jam.â
âNot about the movie,â Sebastian grits exasperatedly. His brows knitting together in frustration âThe frog.â
âMhm, go on,â a cheshire-like grin on her face. âKiss it, Seb. A big smooch right on its slimy mouth.â
Sam eggs him on, the pain of being elbowed magically disappearing. âDo it! Do it!â
Sebastian presses his lips tightly together. Thereâs no use resisting once Abby and Sam band together. Theyâre a force to be reckoned with like thisâdemanding and overbearing. Sebastian exasperatedly wipes a hand over his face, shooting the poor frog a sorry look.
Sam pushes him one more time, he gives him a stony glare in return. âFuckâalright! Stop being so damn loud, youâll scare it away.â
The frog in question croaks slightly, like it senses the trio talking about it. He gives it a wary glance.
As he slowly approaches, Sebastian can hear Abby and Samâs satisfied sniggering behind him. They roped him into doing another stupidly outrageous thing for the umpteenth time.
He sighs, he really needs better friends.
Mustering up all his courage, he bends down, almost eye level with the frog, resting a hand on the wooden grain bench on where itâs perched upon.
He screws his eyes shut and goes for it.
Sebastianâs lips connect with the frogâs slimy, almost rough skin. So fast and featherlight that it can barely be considered a kiss. Cold against his lips. He pulls back immediately after, wiping any residue off his lips with the back of his hand.
The frog jumps, croaking with,what he assumes is, alarm.
âSee?â Abby laughs, ruffling his hair good-naturedly. âNo princess in sight. You didnât turn into a frog either!â
âMan,â Sam snickers, patting him roughly on the back. Sebastian groans with every smack. âIt wouldâve been cool though, if you turned into a frog. Weâd have a frog drummer in our band!â
Sebastian shoves his unruly friends off. âYeah, whatever. Letâs get going. The frog is probably traumatized.â
âYou can check that off your bucket list,â Abby teases, a smirk playing on her lips. âKiss a frog before I die. Weâll tell the story for generations.â
Sam howls with laughter, Sebastian feels absolutely mortified.
Before the trio could make any move out of the park, a cloud of green smoke curtains the frog, so thick and so unusual. Sebastian unconsciously backs away from it.
âWhatâwoah,â Sam says, more mezmerised than shocked at the green smoke pouring out of the frog Sebastian kissed. âWhat is that?â
âThe fuck if we know, Sam!â
âBoys, boys, shut the fuck up. Look.â
Abigail points at the fog. It grows and grows, stopping and dissipating once the whole bench is covered with the green mist.
The frog is goneâdisappeared into thin air. Instead, a not-so-frog shaped person sits. You blink up at Sebastian slowly.
Woah, woah.
He feels his heart acceleratingâfor all the wrong reasons. An unusual thumping sound that vibrates all throughout his bodyâhis fingertips, his stomach, his toes. Where there should be fear and panic and definitely fear, Sebastian feels exhilaration.
Youâre pretty.
Itâs also pretty horrifying for him to thinkâand feel.
You blink slowlyâa frog-like trait that cement his suspicions. Youâre staring up at him as he stares back down at you, curious meets bewildered. ââŚâ
His eyes are wide, scanning each and every part of your now not frog-like features. Sebastian feels cold sweat dripping down his foreheadâa stark temperature difference to the heat in his cheeks. âOhâoh shit.â
âUhm⌠ribbit?â
-
Another thing he blames on Sam and Abbyâhis horrifying attraction you; the person, not the frog.
He checks that off his metaphorical bucket list, too.
