(lol)
Sebastian froze, realizing his mistake. His heart thumped loudly in his chest as his emotions sped wildly out of control, his head spinning. Crap– she'll think I meant this as a date– He moved to pull his hand away, stammering out an apology.
"It's fine… Really, Sebastian," Devon assured him in a soft, slightly flustered whisper, glancing over at him. I don't mind…
Sebastian's eyes flickered around the room, landing anywhere but her. "It was an accident I promise–"
"Sebastian, honestly. It's okay. No big deal," Devon said softly, turning to face him more.
He inhaled, composure blown to bits– though he couldn't figure out why. "I didn't want you to think- I didn't mean this as a date or anything, and I didn't want you to think-"
Devon chewed on her lip as she nodded. "I know. And I wasn't assuming that it was… Not that a date with you would be a bad thing! I just… Um…" She coughed, clearing her throat as she blushed again and looked away. Gosh, she was glad it was dark…
At her words, Sebastian flushed pink. He tugged at the neckline of his sweater uncomfortably, his words dying in his mouth. "Sorry," he repeated, unable to say anything else.
"Don't worry about it," Devon whispered, shaking her head a bit. "It's fine."
He nodded, swallowing. Sorry. Frick. I messed up, didn't I?? His brain ran in paranoid, incredibly confused circles.
Devon chewed on her lip as she turned back to the movie, confused about what had just happened.
Was it really that big of a deal that he'd basically accidentally held her hand? And why did he freak out about it so much?
There is so much that I don't know about him… But I think I want to know…
(Skip?)
(Sure, to when?)
After the movie? Another day? Maybe one of them has an emergency and calls the other?)
(Ohhhhh. What if Seb calls Devon and is all frantic?)
(Ooh sure)
(About what though?)
(I have no idea. Lol. Something happens? Idk…)
(G’morning! How are you?
Uhhhh gets beat up really really badly? The cops are on their way?)
(I'm good! You?
That sounds good to me!
Also, I'm not going to be on much today…):
(I’m fairly okay
Np,idk if i will either
So wait, how far are we skipping?)
(Hm… It could be a few days/weeks later, while Devon is at work.)
(maybe two weeks later, so they've gotten closer?)
(That's actually what I was thinking. Lol. Sounds like a plan!)
(awesome, give me a mo)
(Sure, no problem!)
For the second time in the past two months, Sebastian was stalking angrily away from his parents' house, a large red mark branding the side of his face. He shoved his hands into his pockets, letting his rage simmer low until it cooled, melting into something akin to exhaustion. Not physical exhaustion, per se, but emotional. He was just so… done. With everything.
