The interview went. That's it. It happened. Nothing good came out of it, nothing bad, that disappointing medium was all that came of it. Being shut down for 99% of it and only perking up when hearing a mention of Mackie was all that got me through it.
When I finished, I checked my phone again, finding 2 missed calls and 4 new texts, all from Anthony.
Are you alright?
Can I call you?
Damnit pick up.
I'm on my way go get you now.

You're what?
"Finally opening my messages, love?" Anthony's arms wrapped around my waist, holding my hips. I couldn't help the shiver through my body and the sharp intake of breath.
"Yeah," I breathe in that scent, "I was. Just finished the interview and getting everything off of me."
"I wouldn't mind getting on you seabass."
I wouldn't mind either.
Woah, woah. Were did that come from? I mean. Anthony, on top of me, breathing heavy as-
Okay, nope. I'm done.
"Cat got your tongue?"
No, he could have my tongue.
"How'd you find me?"
"Goof. Left your location on. Turns out I was in the state, quite close."
"How convenient." I smile and lean my head back onto Anthony's shoulder, hugging his arms hugging me.
"On a serious note, are you alright? You sounded shaken on the phone."
I sigh, closing my eyes. "I'm good now, Mack."
He let go, spinning me around and holding my shoulders, looking into my eyes.
"Sebastian," oh shit, he really never uses my full name, "I mean it. I've seen your panic attacks like that in the past, the effects don't wear off for hours, hun. So please, be honest with me."
I breathe again, shakily. Staring into those deep eyes and him being here with me is genuinely making me feel better, but It's the part after where he leaves me alone again and I can't breathe.
"I just— I feel okay now, the problem is when we separate and i'm all alone again, without you there to, I don't know, be? there? for me and with me?"
Anthony smiles, slow and wide. But there's a flicker of something else in his eyes. "I'll stay with you as long as you'd like, love."
I exhaled, sighing as Anthony turned us with an arm over my shoulders and we walked out of there.
"Follow to my house?" I ask hopefully.
"As long as I nap on the couch."
I roll my eyes, knowing damn well he has
A) Been in my house once for 15 minutes
B) Never laid eyes on my couch
and C) Started that joke because of a dare from months ago.
"We can nap on my couch, if you insist."
"Yay." He does a little happy dance as he gets in his car.
I shake my head and smile.

As we arrive, the anxiety comes back.
What if he hates my house? What if I say something wrong? What if my dogs don't like him? That could be catastrophic.
As I get out and walk to Anthony's car, excited yaps come from the second floor window, my window. They escaped. Again. Fan-fucking-tastic.
"Hey Coffee, dogs escaped and are roaming around my house freely, but if one charges you, whatever you do, do not run. Hold still, put your hands up, like a cop with a gun on you. Let them sniff, and you should be good. Got me?"
"Yeah I gotchu babycakes."
I grin, a short one, and unlock my door, finding two adorably large puppies panting at me, but they see Anthony and growl, already running.
Anthony closes his eyes, arms up and holding still, and to my surprise, both dogs sit at his feet, expectantly staring up at him like;
Uh, we didn't eat you, pet us.
I whistle, low and clear, and they return to me, sitting down perfectly, waiting for orders.
"C'mon psychos, in the house." I shoo them in the house as Anthony walks up to me.
"You could've whistled the while time, but you let them run at me? Ass." He said with a smile.
"You passed their test, if that makes you feel any better."
"It does."
We go inside, neither of us hungry. I show him the couch, which he plops down on with a content sigh. I sit next to him, looking at his face with his eyes closed. He looks so peaceful.
I lay down, stretching out with my feet to his, closing my eyes with Athena as my pillow, Apollo laying behind Athena.
Blissful darkness takes hold, and I'm asleep within seconds, exauhsted.

Sorry for the short chapter, I lowkey forgot what I was doing in this one but the dogs? Lovable characters amirite!?
Also, imma give hints at the end of every chapter as to what state i'm from, if you guess it, shoutouts? Idk. Buh byeee.
