He'll Regret It | Sebastian Sallow x Ominis Gaunt x Female MC

23

At some point I must've fallen asleep as when I opened my eyes Sebastian was laying on his back, my legs still on his lap as he snored lightly.

The soft humming and feeling of my hair being played with told me Ominis was still awake. He must have noticed the change in my breathing as he spoke softly. "Sleep well, my love?"

"I did." I reached my hand up, taking his in mine and intertwining our fingers. "Was I asleep long?"

"Just about an hour." He brought my hand to his mouth, kissing the back of it gently.

I smiled, watching his face in the sunlight. I loved seeing him like this- the sun dancing on his pale skin, hair blowing wildly as the wind hit us. "You're so beautiful, Ominis."

He smiled into my hand, a blush rising to his face. I gently lifted my legs from Sebastian's lap as I sat up, turning my body to Ominis and climbing into his lap. I wrapped my arms around his body and nuzzled my head into his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me close and kissing my head.

"I love you." My words were muffled as I spoke into him.

I felt him smile against my forehead as he rubbed my back. "I love you too, darling."

We sat frozen in the moment for maybe another hour until Sebastian stirred from his sleep. He sat up, moving over to us and sat with his legs spread open, us in the middle of them as he rested his head on my shoulder.

Guilt about earlier washed over me, my eyes welling with tears. "I'm sorry about how I acted earlier."

"Please don't beat yourself up over it, we understand it all must be overwhelming." Ominis squeezed me tightly.

Sebastian nodded in agreement. "It might be easier if you talk to us about it, you know."

I bit my lip, my nerves getting to me. "I'm just so tired. It feels like I'll never be anything but a weapon, like I won't ever get to live my life if I even survive. Alaric already killed me once, who's to say I make it out of this?" I paused, letting the tears fall down my cheeks. "I was never afraid of dying, but seeing everyone so distraught over it hurt so much...And having you two makes me afraid I won't be able to live long enough to make a life with you."

The boys comforted me as I continued. "I want a career. I want to get married. I want to have kids and watch them run while one of you chases them. I want to hear their laughs and join them with my own and both of yours. I want to get so old people say 'she's still alive?'" I laughed at the thought, sniffling. "I've been forced into this 'life' I don't want. I haven't gotten to do anything but study and fight. I don't want to fight anymore."

Sebastian rubbed my back while Ominis held me tightly to him, silence falling over us as they took in all I said.

"Let's run away together." Sebastian spoke quietly.

I pulled my head out of Ominis's neck, looking to Sebastian and letting out a small laugh.

"I'm serious. Let them figure it out on their own. What would they do if you didn't survive Alaric's attack?" He spoke more confidently.

"We can't run away, Sebastian." I sniffled.

"Why not?" Ominis asked.

I turned to him, shocked he was agreeing. "What? We have to graduate to even get jobs, how will we run away with no money? And if we have jobs they'll just find us."

"Not if we live among muggles." Ominis had clearly thought about this before. I wasn't surprised with his family history, just surprised he was agreeing with Sebastian.
