Sebastian's brows twitched, the edges of his lips curled through clumsily sifted pain.

The edges of my thoughts felt entirely too loose.

"Atley breathe." A hand at my collarbone.

Ominis.

My stomach heaved, a desperate attempt to repel the nausea, the realization and the embodying darkness. 

A pursuit to expel the air laced with the poison of my own thoughts.

His face scrunched, thoughts flicking like seconds through his eyes as he watched me. He shook his head over and over and over again, back and forth, back and forth, keeping his deep eyes hooked around mine.
