Insensate.

17. Whole.

No one's pov

∞

Sinister and low growls could be heard in every Hallways. Now was the perfect time to strike.

And all because of a Man who was dead, but now, partially alive. His Soul still belonged to the Afterlife. And now..

A gate has been opened, and who knows when it'll be closed. A familiar scent lingered in the Air of an familiar room. Under the bed, musty, and unbearable. Someone, or rather, those two recognizeable Souls that were once human, latched onto the house. Latched onto Sebastian. But he has yet to worry about such things, with Joseph being irresistible and all.

This would be very difficult for Joseph, being a beginner in the World of Psychics, magic, Supernaturals, necromancers, and what not, could cost his life. As, he is not as experienced as he thinks he is.

But with time, all would be alright.

Joseph's pov

I had no reason to hide things from Sebastian. After all, I'm trying help him.

I pondered on what would be the right thing to say, after I was certain, I spoke. "In short, I stroke a deal with my Mother. She would help me with my abilities, and.. My brother will help me with your case."

He raised an incredulous eyebrow. "He's willing to help? What are you going to do?"

I braced myself for his reaction after I told him what I was planning to do. "I wanted to resurrect Marie, but not fully. So, she'll just be a corpse, then, José will find a spell that will reveal the things that are hidden about her body. We'll need you too, in order to check your body." He didn't seem too thrilled about what I had just revealed. Then again, I wouldn't be too.

Sebastian hissed rather calmly. "No! You can't-" 

I boldly cut him off, and firmly stated. "Look, I understand.. But that's the only plan I've got!"

He panicked, pure fear shimmering in his eyes. "No- You don't understand, you can't. Marie.. If something goes wrong, then she won't be happy about you."

I raised a curious eyebrow, I inquire, desiring for him to explain to me what he means. "Sebastian, what do you mean?"

His eyes widened. Sebastian looked like he was just about to reveal a big secret, or rather, he looked like he just came to an realization about something. He cleared his throat, and got up. "N-nothing.."

This side of him made me feel unsettled. He sounded so afraid.. And I only felt stupid for not being able to figure out what he meant!

I paid, and I got up to following a Sebastian that was almost long gone.

Sebastian was most likely busy with removing his coat, and his scarf while I shut the door. I exhaled tiredly, my shoulders felt so tense! Rubbing my hands together made Sebastian turn his focus on me, he smiled comfortingly. "Let's go to the Fireplace."

I nodded.

When the door to the Fireplace was closed, I turned my head around, but I gasped when my back hit the door. My eyes lifted themselves, and they landed on Sebastian's piercing and intense gaze. I squirmed in his arms, he was too close!

Carefully, I meet his gaze. I catch a glimpse of a feisty desire in those grey eyes, that were once cold, and distant, and I break. 

Biting my lip, my question comes out far too breathless for my liking. "..S-Sebastian, what are you doing?" He breathes heavily, almost as if he's fighting with himself. "..When I kissed you, I felt something, Buttercup.."

I gulp, my heart skips a beat, and when he rubbed his thumb against my lower lip, I couldn't help but blush even harder. "..What, Sebastian?"

His eyes flickered down to my lips, Sebastian whispered so sweetly, I thought I would faint. "I felt Whole. A sense of hope as my heart continued to pump, and pump even more lively than it was before."  His eyes were no longer filled with.. Desire, they were more soft, more comforted. "That Kiss.."

My hands gripped his shirt, I licked my lips in anticipation, with one look to my lips, Sebastian crashed his lips onto mine. His arms hurriedly wrapped themselves around my waist as he lifted me off the ground. I gripped his firm shoulders, using them as a way to support myself. 

Break the kiss, shit, break the kiss! This..

Is it wrong? Am I wrong for wanting to be kissed by someone? All of this Affection.. Or was I so delusional, that I believe that this is Affection? If this isn't Affection, then it certainly is not Lust. The way his fingers caress my cheeks, the others brushed themselves through my hair, fixing the knots. 

I opened my mouth, letting his tongue inside. It moved gently with mine, but he was very demanding on who would lead. Eventually, I won. I wasn't too skilled, but Sebastian demonstrated how to do it properly, and I was a fast learner.

A tear slipped out of my eye, dropping on Sebastian's under eye. We both opened our eyes at the same time, and I couldn't help but hide my face in his neck after he wiped the tear, and placed a chaste kiss on my eye that shut itself, so he could carefully kiss me. 

Sebastian observes my body language, setting me rather carefully on the floor, a dazzling and charming grin was plastered on his face. "Yes.. That feeling.. Complete and fulfilled, that's the only way to describe it, Buttercup."

The Silence was enough, although, one question plagued my mind constantly. Sebastian hummed a happy tone as he massaged my wrist. "Sebastian? D-does this mean that I have to kiss you everyday?" 

He smirked, not taking his eyes off my hand. "Of course, or would you rather we do extreme, and shameless things so my energy doesn't run out too quickly?" 

My face heats up at the thought of..! 

I groaned and muttered a few mean words under my breath, I scolded him for being so shameless. Sebastian roared with laughter, his laugh was so contagious that I had to join in.

As we laughed, we failed to notice the things that were lurking in the shadows, the things that were watching us maliciously, and two with enviousness.
