Fragile Shadows // Sebastian Sallow x Y/N

Chapter Seven - "Sidera Collisione"

Sebastian

As Y/N left, I stared at the door as it slowly closed. My head was spinning, my thoughts running wildly as I try to figure out what I just did.

But it felt so good to kiss her.

I sat on a small crate, crossing my arms as I stare at the wall ahead, thinking of my next move. After what seemed like hours, something on the floor caught my eye. It was a dark green hair tie, made of leather. It has to Y/N's. Her hair wasn't in her braid when she left.

I reached over to grab it, holding it in my hand as I stare at it, imagining this around her perfect black hair. A smile came over me, putting the hair tie in my pocket. "Guess she's going to need this tomorrow..."

I sat up, leaving the room as I licked my lower lip, chuckling "She tastes so sweet."

Y/N

My room never felt more comforting. I could hide and never feel as though someone could barge in. At least a specific boy wouldn't.

I laid on my bed, trying to find ways to fall asleep. No classes were happening tomorrow, so many students had the day off. I could use that time to head into the forest. Hopefully Garreth doesn't try to follow me again.

I close my eyes, pulling a pillow close to my chest as I try to think of soothing thoughts, but that kiss. That damn kiss.

I tried to push it out but....

He's starting to drive me mad.

I press my face into the pillow, trying to remember the way he tasted, the way his lips felt on mine. The way he held my face with his hands...

My cheeks began to feel hot as I smiled to myself, pressing my finger tips to my lips. I wonder if this changes things between us.

Morning came, a few girls from my room leaving as they head for breakfast. That sounds like something to do.

I sit up in my bed, looking around to make sure no one was around before I began to change. I chose some black pants with a dress shirt, sliding a sweater over it and letting the top of the shirt peek out from the top. I moved to a small table mirror, looking at my hair as I noticed that my hair tie wasn't anywhere to be seen.

I groaned in annoyance, looking to find anything else to keep my hair up, but no luck. For as often as I keep my hair in a braid, my hair seems to keep a good shape when it's down. I ran my brush through it, slid on my shoes and headed for the door.

As I left to go into the lounge, I saw Ominis making his way to the stairs to leave. A smile came across my face as I walked up to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. I started this habit whenever I came around him to let him know it was me. "Ominis, it's good to see you. Are you going to breakfast?"

"Y/N, I was. Would you care to join me? Sebastian should be waiting for me there, but I'm sure he won't mind the extra company." His smile was warming, his wand up to allow him to navigate the halls. I stayed beside him as we walked, feeling my lips warm up remembering the kiss from last night. I looked to the side, knowing Ominis wouldn't tell the expression on my face, "Yeah, I don't think he'll mind one bit."

We made our way into the Great Hall, heading to our usual spot at the table. Not many people came this early for breakfast, but it was a good time to get the best food. I looked to our spot, and I saw him.
