Aftermath | Sebastian Sallow

Chapter 10

Getting into some much needed Sebastian and y/n development coming up :) Thanks for reading! I love this take on y/n after the Hogwarts Legacy events.

Sebastian and Ominis walk me back to the stairs leading up to my dormitory corridor. I turn around and look at them both, words escaping me. So I reach out and give Ominis a hug. He's surprised at first, holding his arms out to his sides. Then he relaxes and wraps his arms around my shoulders. I pull away and whisper softly to him. "Thank you, Ominis."

"Don't forget what I told you, y/n." My mind flashes back to when he told me to be safe. Guilt washes over me. I watch him walk away, wand leading the way. I don't have to look at Sebastian to know his eyes are fixed on me.

I look up, he had moved closer to me. We're now standing about two feet apart.

"Sebastian-"

"Hold on." He says sternly. "I have to get this out, first." He's staring directly into my eyes. "For months you completely shut me out. And it kills me even more to know what you've been going through this whole time. All alone. I haven't been able to be there for you. You haven't let me. And you promised me, that you would no longer close yourself off to me. I've lost too much." His voice cracks, and I feel myself cracking too. But he takes a deep breath. "We want to be here for you. We are here. Whether you want us to be or not. Tonight is the last time I will ever not know where you are or what's happening to you. It's the last time you push me out. It's the last time you keep things from me, the last time you ever go through any of this by yourself. And I'm not asking."

He doesn't need to keep exhausting himself because of me. I know the choices I've made have been wrong. He opens his mouth to continue and I blurt out, "You're right." He closes his mouth. "You're right. I have been selfish. I have all of these people that love me and care about me, I have you.. and I'm just distancing myself. Hurting you all. I'm sorry."

Sebastian crosses his arms, "Good." That's all he responds.

"What?"

"I said good. I got what I wanted. Now you're stuck with us forever." He lets out a playful grin on his face. "Now that that's out of the way, I-" I jump towards him, pushing him.

"You ass!" I'm pretending to be mad but I'm grinning ear to ear and he returns it with a devious grin of his own. Such a cocky man he is. I've got to give it to him though, he's brilliantly persistent. "I'm Sebastian Sallow I always get what I want." I stand with my hands on my hips and nose pointed up to the air, mocking him.

"That's not entirely true, I haven't gotten you yet." He says, I look him in the eye for one moment then take off running. I don't get very far before he comes up behind me and scoops me up off the ground, throwing me over his shoulder. "Sebastian!" I'm laughing hysterically.

He walks over to a nearby couch and plops me down onto it- not so gracefully might I add. He lowers himself down, one hand on each side of my face. I stop laughing, stop breathing completely and stare up into his amber eyes. He leans down and begins to kiss me. This kiss is slower, deeper than our first. I can feel the emotion attached to it. Passion. In between kisses I open my mouth and his tongue slides in. My hands grip his forearms and travel up to his shoulders, the back of his neck, and I'm pulling him closer to me. As if we could get any closer than we are at the moment.

He settles his hips in between my thighs and I can feel him hardening against me, oh. That's definitely closer. My hands move up and run through his hair. He pulls away from me and we stare at each other for a moment.

I wonder if he knows this is the first time my body has ever connected with a guy like this. One of my hands slides down from his hair to cup the side of his face. "I am sorry, you know. I'll keep my promise to you. No more space between us." Meaning that in more ways than one, I think to myself. He turns his head to kiss the inside of my hand. Then he grabs it and stands up, I'm already missing the weight of his body on top of mine. He pulls me up along with him and says, "Come. Let's get you to bed. No more exerting yourself tonight." He says to me with a wink. Cocky bastard. I roll my eyes and he walks me to my dorm.
