Moths to a Flame

28. Truce?

Aria pov

After all that the party was a bit of a downer, Victoria left she couldn't be seen. We ended early and just walked back to the castle, we didn't know how to carry on after such news. Poppy left saying goodbye and I will hopefully see her after graduation. I grabbed each of their hands Sebastian's left and Ominis right. I lead them to the Room of Requirement. I need to be alone with them at the moment.

We got there and they didn't say anything. No one did. It was just silence. I just sat there on the edge of the bed staring. My vision was obstructed by Sebastian running the pad of his thumb across my cheek. Wiping tears I didn't know were there. He held me then Ominis came over and held me. He placed his head on my shoulder. It was just me and my boys. I don't care how upset I was with them. I need them right now.

"I'm so sorry darling, this isn't how I would ever want your special day to end." Sebastian said to me kissing my temple. I sniffled.

"Love I know it's not the best time, but if you ever need to talk about anything you went through you know we'll listen to you. You don't have to carry all that by yourself. I know it's been a difficult few weeks, but we're both here for you" Ominis says to me. I also felt Sebastian nod his head.

"Thank you Omi. I appreciate it" I say softly.

"Well there's still a little time left to today we could make it better" Sebastian says. I immediately pulled away and ran to the bathroom. I'm sure they were confused. I felt so much guilt. I can't even enjoy my boyfriends anymore because of that vile person.

"Darling?" I heard Sebastian.

"Love it's alright" Ominis says.

I slowly open the door, peeking out. I see soft smile on their faces.

"I'm sorry" I say opening the door more now facing them again.

"No you have nothing to apologize for" Sebastian says.

"I guess I should tell you. I told Poppy. But you both deserve to know as well, it may just take a while to actually speak it, with Poppy, I wrote it in a letter. Now I have to say it aloud and that may be harder"

"Take your time love, there's no rush" Ominis says.

"Why don't we get cozy in bed while you talk, this way we're all together" Sebastian suggested.

"Sounds good to me" I say.

We progressed to undress only to our undergarments and we all got into the bed together I was cozy in the middle of my boys. The safest I ever feel is in the middle of them knowing they will always protect me, if I need it. I went on to tell them in phases. There were many pauses and tears shed. I knew they wouldn't like what I had to say. Flat out furious. Ominis was the most heated when I told them about Marvolo. Both of them looked as though they were going to kill him. It was well after midnight when I got to the end of my retelling. Neither of them would let go of me. They wiped the tears away again and coaxed me to sleep. I kissed each of them on the cheek and they both kissed either side of my cheeks. I fell a sleep after that.

The next morning I woke up with my boys only Sebastian and Ominis were awake and he was scribbling in notes. I just cuddled closer I was just thankful they were there.

"Morning darling" Sebastian said noticing.

"Morning" I say. "What's all that?"

"I've been thinking, now I know your the best dueler in school besides myself of course, but if that mental loon is going to try and get to you again, we need to practice and maybe you should get in touch with your ancient magic again. I know you've sworn it off, be but it will beneficial in the long run I believe." Sebastian says.
