A New Beginning

a year of gifts

*still sebs pov*

Wow rude. I looked at my chat again as they all crowded around the various photos.

Chat:wait do you have a beard?
Seb:yeah. I decided to add it to my vr so when I did this it wouldn't be weird.
Chat:YOU PLANNED TO DO THIS
seb:kinda.
Y/n:ok and last is....wait what is this?

It was a necklace I found in a small shop. I thought it was perfect for them, it had a little gold plated geode with y/fc stone inside.

Y/n:wow seb this is s pretty!
Seb:im glad you like it.
Sam:you owe me sweet nothings after this seb
Abby:ill give them to you Sammy.

Summers done. Now onto fall. I'm a little nervous. I got her more actual gifts for fall. There's only one letter and I wrote it while watching her birthday stream. I didn't text anyone about it but I know the other two definitely didn't watch that stream. I talked about how cute she looked eating the cupcake and I even got a little cupcake for her teddy. I wish I coulda gave it to her on her birthday.

Y/n:oh wow ok there's alot of gifts let's go.
A blanket with cherry skulls on it
A little matching one for teddy
A really pretty hair pin
A bunch of old movies
A cute dress
Cute shoes
*etc etc*
A...is this the video game I was talking about on my...birthday
Seb:yeah. I watched it.
Y/n:oh....
Seb:you should see what I got you for your actual birthday
Y/n:its...a letter? And...a little cupcake for teddy. Aww

She read the letter out loud mocking my voice. She started giggling just before it got serious. Then she read quietly to herself and smiled. Everyones chat started going crazy again and we all addressed our own.

Now...winter. she opened them all, on the winter star one I had bought her a picture frame that had a heart on it. There was no picture but instead another letter. She looked to me to see if she should read it aloud.

Y/n:oh ok its short, *in a mocking voice again* y/n I'm hoping we can put....*out if mocking voice* our first picture together in this frame. Love seb
Sam:wait holed up every other letter was from HE WROTE LOVE
abby:sam I love you but shut the fuck up.
Y/n:ABBY NO CUSSING
Abby:....fuck
Y/n:ok thanks for ruining it guys. Haha

She was blushing. She looked so cute when blushing. I didn't even feel scared as she read it anymore. I was terrified when I wrote it imagining her reaction but now...seeing her....I can't wait for the last gift she opens. She went through each gift, it was mainly stuff for her house and for her kiln. Then the last gift.

Y/n:wait...is this a boquet? Wait seb is this
Seb:yeah....I uh I got maru to buy it for me as I headed back home.
Y/n:...s..seb
Seb:is that a no?

The chats went crazy so we all explained quickly.

Seb:im asking y/n to be my girlfriend. This bouquet is the way we ask eachother out.
Y/n:yes. Fuck yes.

I got in view of the cameras and hugged her tightly. Abby and Sam were cheering and clapping. Then I stopped after the hug and started blushing. She started mocking me.

*Y/n pov*

He showed his face on camera for me...oh no hes terrified. He looked at himself in the camera and looked at his phone, his chat went insane.

Y/n:have I said that the beard looks nice?
Sam:yeah. You look very adult
Abby:super hot.
Seb:shut the fuck up assholes.
Y/n:I was being serious hot topic

We all sat down and talked to our chats. Seb brought his camera next to mine and we did ours together.

Seb:so why didn't you tell us about your birthday?
Y/n:cause I hated myself and didn't want to feel happy.
Seb:but now?
Y/n:I don't ever want to be sad again.

I put my head on his shoulder. An hour passed and we stopped our streams. Seb stayed in the house while  the other two headed home.

Seb:im really sorry.
Y/n:...its ok.
Seb:do you know why I'm sorry?
Y/n:you left....for a whole year. You lied and broke a promise.
Seb:i...I wanted to come back. But it wasn't right. I didn't want to leave with stuff unfinished in zuzu. I...
Y/n:I know sebby. You needed to finish. And honestly you being gone the whole year showed me that I didn't want to be alone. I spent the whole year fixing the town and when that was done I fixed an entire island seb. A whole fuckin island.
Seb:wow...you really can't sit still.
Y/n:not when I'm unhappy no I can't.

He held me close we laid in my bed and put a movie on. We fell asleep cuddling.

*next morning*

Seb was in the kitchen already. Robin was outside about the knock on the door, I could see her from my window. She looked nervous but excited.

Seb:hey! You up yet?

I could see her stiffen. She obviously didn't know her son was in my home. I yelled back,

Y/n:yeah. I'm gonna shower
Seb:shower after, I wanna show you something.

She stood there hiding by the door easdropping on us. I didn't really care so I ignored her.

Seb:...p..please baby.
Y/n:oh ok, just cause you said please.

I started blushing and skipped to him. He was wearing a black and red apron with little red flowers on it.

Seb:I made you something
Y/n:im honestly scared.
Seb:is it the apron?
Y/n:whered it come from?
Seb:....don't ask.

Robin finally knocked.

Y/n:come on in Robin.

I didn't turn or anything. Seb looked at me confused and when robin came in she did the same.

Y/n:I saw you outside the window.
Robin:o..oh um sorry I didnt know sebby would be here.
Seb:oh did you need to talk to her privately?
Robin:um no its ok! I just came by to...I um wanted to ask if....I wanted to see that y/n was doing well.
Y/n:alot better
Seb:what happened?
Robin:...y/n?
Y/n: the past year id kinda stopped being so social and going out of my farm unless it was to fix something. I even spent a long time on ginger island just helping the locals.
Seb:oh...but isn't that good?
Robin:you know that's not what I was talking about, y/n
Y/n:Robin im ok. I promise.

I didn't want to think about what had happened...Robin found me on the island beat up and almost dead. I had went into the volcano to find something for a local...but I almost didn't make it. She helped me back home and took care of me. I told her death wasn't scary for me and I'd be fine if I did die that day. She begged me to stop going but I told her I would still go. I wasn't going to lie to her. But she promised to not tell anyone about it. If the whole town found out it woulda gotten worse. After that I did take more proctotions I was just angry.
