After All This Time// Sebastian Sallow x Reader Hogwarts Legacy Fanfiction

Chapter 39

I had been crying like a little baby for a while, but I was heading back to the castle now, as it had started to get really cold outside. I really hope Sebastian was asleep by now so I wouldn't have to talk to him again. I cringed, thinking about what I'd said to him earlier. If he didn't want to talk to me, I should've just left it at that. I had to go and embarrass myself instead. Being away from Sebastian was weird. I felt like I didn't even know what to do with my alone time anymore. I just wanted to spend all of it with him. 

As I approached the castle, I saw someone coming out the doors, illuminated in the warm glow of the torches posted on either side of the entrance. I stayed back for a moment to see who it was. It was late, and I wasn't looking to get in trouble. 

At first I let out a breath of relief when I saw it was only Sebastian. But a few seconds later, I sharply sucked that breath back in. 

What was he doing out here? 

He immediately started running, coming right towards me. Did he finally want to talk to me again? 

I continued walking towards the castle and towards Sebastian. He almost ran into me once he reached where I was. 

He jumped back, almost looking startled to see me. 

"Merlin's Beard, y/n... I totally didn't see you there. Scared me half to death." He had a smile on his lips as he spoke. 

"Sorry I got in your way," I told him. 

"You're not in my way- I was actually looking for you." 

"Come to yell at me some more?" I jabbed. "I don't know that I'm in the mood to take your shit right now." I knew my face was still stained with my tears, and I silently blessed the dark for hiding that fact away from him. He needn't know I was crying over what he'd said. 

"That's not at all what I came to do," he told me. 

"It's freezing out here," I stated as I began to grow impatient. I was shivering and wanted to go back inside. 

"Then let's continue this conversation indoors."

He tried to take my hand, but I pulled it away, folding my arms over my chest as we walked. I didn't want to let myself get distracted by his touch. I knew if I were to let him hold me and touch me right now that I'd probably break down and let him act like nothing had happened, but we needed to talk about it. 

Once we got inside, he led us into the Undercroft. 

"Okay," I said. "Do you want to actually talk to me now, or are you going to keep acting all coy with me?"

"Well first, I wanted to apologize. I've been acting stupid, and I didn't see it until Imelda knocked some sense into me," he started. "But I've just been having a lot of thoughts about the past, and I was starting to wonder whether or not I'm good enough for someone like you. I don't want what happened in the past with us to repeat itself, and I didn't want to lead you somewhere dark again."

I considered his words and it made sense, I just don't know why he couldn't talk to me about this sooner. "Why didn't you just say something to me about it?" I asked him. "Why did you feel the need to hide something like this from me?"

"I don't know," he said. "I just chalked it up to being an absolute moron. I know you're here for me, and I want you to know I'm here for you too. I have a habit of being a bit stubborn when it comes to talking about myself."

I laughed at his words. It was true; Sebastian hasn't really been one to talk about the inner mechanisms of whatever is going on inside him all the time.

"Just talk to me next time," I said. "I'll forgive you this time, but please... don't leave me in the dark like that. I don't like how it feels to be pushed away by you. It hurts."

"I know, and I'm sorry," he finally said. 

He pulled me in for a hug, wrapping me in his arms tightly. I put my hand against his cheek and he instantly recoiled and said, "You weren't lying when you said you were freezing." 

I chuckled and moved my hands to his shoulders. 

I liked the way his hands felt when they were wrapped around me. I could stay in his arms forever like this and never need anything else. 

"I need you around Sebastian," I whispered. "Please don't ever repeat what you did today."

"I won't," he whispered back. "I promise. I am going to kiss you now, if that's okay with you."

I didn't even answer him, instead, I smashed my lips hungrily against his. I have been craving his kisses for so long. 

Well, it was only one day, but being separated from him, it felt like forever. 

He pulled me tightly against him as his hands roamed my body, sending shock waves across my skin wherever they went. I put my hands in his hair and hungrily grasped it, pulling him closer. He pulled back for a moment and moved to my neck, running the tip of his tongue all the way from the base of my neck to my ear. I shuddered and let out a quiet moan. As I did so, he moved his hands to my bottom, pulling me against his hips. 

I could feel his hard member  against my core as he grinded his lower half against me desperately. I could feel my core heating up with every movement of his. He parted my lips with his tongue and pushed it inside. I groaned softly into his mouth, and this seemed to completely throw him over the edge. 

"Fuck, y/n," he growled. "Fuck." 

I smiled against his lips as I put one of my legs between his and began to grind my core against his thigh. This time, I was the one talking pleasure in seeing him so fucking hard for me.

"Please, let me have all of you," he whimpered into my mouth between kisses. He was gripping my ass so hard, pulling my core tightly against him as he continued to push his hard-on against me. 

"Unless you tell me no, right now, I'm going to take you right here on the floor," he breathed.
