Sebastian carried me on his back downstairs, careful with my injured leg. I hid my face in his back, blushing as we got looks from the few students that were here. "I could've walked outside at least..." He chuckled, shaking his head. 

"What's bothering you? Do you not want people to know we're together?" I sighed. "It's not like I want to hide it, but I don't like being stared at like some kind of freak..." "How do you know they're staring at you? They must just think I'm incredibly handsome." I knew he was only saying it to comfort me, but I felt a pang of hurt in my chest that I could only guess was jealousy.

I tightened my grip on his jumper, my knuckles going white. Seeming to know what was wrong, Sebastian hoisted me up again to get my attention. "Hey...I'm yours, remember?" I nodded quietly, leaning my head into his shoulder. 

I couldn't help but smell his jumper, the sweet scent of vanilla and pine along with a fainter scent of coffee meeting my nose. It was subtle, but the scent was comforting and enraptured me. It wasn't like Ominis' scent, that of peppermint, apples and sage, which seemed to refresh me whenever I smelled it. 

But Sebastian's was like feeling comfort, sweet and subtle. Like I was being wrapped in a warm blanket and protected. It was strange, how two people could be so different, and yet both so attractive to me. I couldn't help nuzzling my nose into Sebastian's chocolate locks, wanting to be closer.

 "Hey! That tickles!" He laughed. I hummed in response, wrapping my arms around his chest. This was beginning to feel more like a hug than being carried. We finally made it outside, though I felt a little sad as Sebastian gently put me down, going to call his broom.

 Oh...Just a little longer...Like a child I was clinging to his arm, resting my head into it. "Well now...Someone is a little clingy today." He teased, though I could see the pink tint to his freckled cheeks. I pouted. "It's not my fault I want to be close to you." He smiled, pulling me close. 

"You know you only need to ask sweetheart." He kissed the top of my head, arms wrapped around me protectively. I smiled and sighed, a warm feeling filling me up. I had to admit, I was loving the physical contact that Sebastian was giving me. 

"Seems to me that your love language is touch, darling." He said softly. "What do you mean? Isn't it normal to want to be close to those you love?" "Yes, but you seem to be happiest whenever Ominis or I are giving you physical affection. Though that makes sense I suppose. You do seem confused, I'll loan you the book on love languages when we get back ok? And if you have questions, you just need to ask." 

He nuzzled my nose, laying his forehead on mine. I smiled more, if that was even possible. "We should probably go." He then said, pulling away slowly. I sighed, knowing he was right. It looked like it would be dark soon. I called my broom, and off we flew to Hogsmede.

After a short flight, we reached the outside of Hogsmede. Sebastian handed me my crutches, walking slowly so that I didn't strain myself by trying to go faster. However, after a moment, Sebastian guided me into an Alley. "Sebastian wha-"

I was cut off by him smashing his lips into mine, his kiss hungry as he wrapped his arms around my waist. While surprised at first, I found myself kissing back, running my hands through his hair and tugging gently, earning a groan from him. "Careful darling, we're in public." He went back to kissing me, the sparks I had felt earlier returning tenfold. 

The icy air didn't stop us, Sebastian grabbing my wrists and holding me against the wall while he began to kiss my neck, nibbling gently. I began to squirm in pleasure, unsure of what to do, anxiety building in my stomach. This again, felt a bit fast. "S-Sebastian..." I breathed, trying desperately to be quiet. 

He stopped, looking at me earnestly. "Should I stop?" He asked. I shook my head, but he sighed. "You're so beautiful, do you know that?" I paused, shaking my head again, looking away as my cheeks grew warmer. He gently grabbed my chin, pulling my face to look at him. 

"You are. As much as I'd love to continue this, I can't help but feel like you aren't ready for more than this, and I don't particularly want to rush things. I know something happened between you and Ominis, but I won't do anything more until you are ready, alright?" I nodded. 

"How did you know that I'm not...ready?" He chuckled. "Call it a gut instinct. Besides, it's something I'd like to discuss with you more before jumping headfirst into. First and foremost, I want to take care of you." I frowned, but he placed a hand onto my cheek. "Sweetheart, Ominis and I can wait. We're big boys, we know how to handle ourselves. I'll discuss things with him too if you like, let him know your current comfort levels." 

"Thank you..." It wasn't as though I was opposed to the idea of being more intimate with them, but everything was just so new and going so quickly, I wanted to take my time with this. Sebastian wrapped his arms around my shoulders, kissing my forehead. "I love you Darling, and the last thing either of us want to do is hurt you. Your consent and your comfort come first."

 "I love you too!" I heard Ominis call from the other end of the alley, walking in to join us. I blushed, thinking about the position he had almost caught us in. "Do you want me to discuss things with him?" Sebastian asked me, to which I shyly nodded. "Discuss what? What's going on?" Ominis looked confused. 

Sebastian patted his arm. "You head into the three broomsticks and get warm, we'll join you in a bit." "Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded confidently. "As your boyfriends, we need to make sure we're on the same page to look after you to the best of our abilities!" Ominis looked beyond confused, but I gave a small wave and escaped into the three broomsticks.
