Y/N
Just one more day until classes are back on. But now I have to worry about another thing. Telling Sebastian could jeopardize what I'm trying to do. I can't let him get hurt over something like this.
I sat in the middle of the forest floor, my usual training area between Hogwarts and the small village down the hill along the lake. It was the perfect place to do what I needed since no students came around.
I held my wand, moving stones to create piles that were the same height as the poachers that have been inhabiting the Highlands. I sighed, making my way away from the rocks as I quickly pulverized the stones. I left the biggest stone alone, closing my eyes as I tried my best to bring every part of me together. I gripped my wand firmly, letting the strange power flow through my arms. A large lighting hit the stone, pieces exploding and one flying close to my head.
I breathed heavily, not having moved from my spot as I moved some hair out of my face, letting my hand rest on my head as I noticed someone to the left. I raised my wand, ready to shoot bombarda. A poacher?
"Who's there! You better show your ugly mutt face! If you even think for a damn second your going to get another beast-" But my eyes widened.
Sebastian walked out, looking defeated as he moved his hands to be in the air. "This ugly mutt face was curious about where a little kitten like you was heading off to. I guess I got my answer." I put my wand down, groaning as I turned to face away from him to think.
His arms went down as I turned back around, walking up to him, "What were you wanting to find? I told you, what I do is beyond your understanding. It's too much, even for me."
"You seem to be really good. I only caught the tail end of it, but you seem to hold yourself wonderfully." His arms crossed, his head tilted to the side as I felt the same stupid butterflies. I've been having so many mixed emotions about him. He has what seems to be a girlfriend of some sort, yet he's done all of these things with me. Why?
"Thank you, but there's no need for such outlandish compliments. I told you I would tell you about this....But I didn't want it to be like this." I tried to be composed, but so many thoughts were running around.
"Well, there's no better time than the present, right? Besides, why can't I give you compliments?" He walked closer, leaving a couple of feet between us.
I stayed where I was, feeling a bit of anger rise in me. "How can you be so dense, Sebastian? You have a girlfriend, you've been flirting with me and to top it off, you've kissed me. You never declared any feelings to me, or I to you. I think that's a bit out of line, don't you?"
Sebastians face softened, his eyes traveling to my lips and then to my eyes again. He let out a soft laugh and shook his head, using his fingers to rub the inner corners of his eyes. "I never was exclusive with her. She was there....for fun, if you will." He looked to the side, my cheeks turning red. I gripped the handle of my wand as I felt something in my chest tighten.
"Well.... It still doesn't explain why you've been doing all these things to me."
His arms uncrossed while he took a few steps forward, now right in front of me. His face showed that I may have said something that I shouldn't have. "'All these things'? What do you mean by that?" He placed his hand on my cheek, just like he did last night. I couldn't bring myself to pull away. He just kept me there, whatever it is he was doing.
"You...You do these things to me, and you don't seem to realize what it's doing to me. I feel jealous when I see girls looking at you, but I know I shouldn't feel like that. I hate that I can't have more time with you, even though I sometimes get so mad at you. I wish we could do more together. I want to explore what this magical world has to offer....With you."
Sebastian's eyes never looked so good in the fall. They matched so well. His cheeks seemed to have turned a light shade of pink as he moved his free hand to my side, pulling me close. All I could feel was the rush of nervousness and tingles go up through my body.
"If that means I get to be part of your little world too, I'll take you wherever you'd like. All the caves, treasures and mysteries you can imagine. But you have to promise me something... You tell me when you get hurt. You tell me when something happens to you, you hear me?" His grip tightened on my side, causing me to let out a small noice as I pressed myself up against Sebastian.
"I promise... I promise to tell you." My voice was quiet, my hands pressing against his chest. I feel as though something in me lifted, creating me to feel lighter. Maybe there was a huge blockade in me I just didn't realize. Was I really falling hard for him?
Deep down, I know I wanted him. I know I needed him.
Sebastian smiled down at me, pressing his lips against mine as he kept me close. My eyes closed as I gripped his shirt to give my hands a sense of belonging in this moment. I could feel his heart race, and I bet he could feel mine.
I didn't want to have this moment end. His taste, his smell, it was something that I wish I could experience more. And I hope I do.
He pulled away from me, looking at my face. My eyes opened to see what he was doing, but before I could mutter a word, his lips were on mine again. I felt his tongue slide into my mouth, making me melt in his arms. I moved my hand to grip his arm to steady myself.
My breath was heavy, and I had to pull away. I breathed in, closing my eyes as I leaned my head on his chest. He put a hand on the back of my head and chuckled, looking down at me "You okay? Was that too much for you?"
My face couldn't get any hotter. I couldn't help the laugh that escaped my lips as I tried to hide my face from him, "No...Not at all." He moved his head to look at me, placing a finger under my chin to make me look at him. "This is going to be an interesting year, Ms. Reid."
He placed another kiss on my lips and then we decided to call it a day on my training.
