After twenty four hours of practicing spells from Sebastian, you flop down defeatedly on your bed and stare up at the ceiling.

"This sucks," you sigh to yourself.

"Yeah, I know," Sebastian nods as he knocks quietly on your door. "I mean, I don't really know but I imagine it's not pleasant. Sorry for barging in."

"It's okay," you give an attempt of a smile as you sit up in your bed. "Did you need something?"

"No," he replies as he sits beside you. "I just wanted to make sure you're alright."

"I'll be okay. I guess I didn't realize how much I wanted this to work until now," you tell him as you swing your legs around the side of the bed and rest your head against his. "I'm sorry I made you go through all this trouble."

"Don't be," he smiles softly. "I'm just glad I got to hang out with you again."

"But," you start, biting your bottom lip. "You guys are going to be in huge trouble because of me. I shouldn't have dragged you into this."

"We'll be fine," he chuckles, placing a reassuring hand on yours. "And besides, it's worth it to spend some time with you."

"Thanks, Sebastian," you chuckle. "We've come a long way since that time in class."

"That's for sure," he nods as you pick your head up from leaning against his. The way his eyes gaze into yours, almost as if looking for an answer, makes your heart sink.

"I don't know what to do, Sebastian," you tell him.

"About what?"

"About Ominis," you breathe.

"What does any of this have to do with him?" he asks, his eyes darkening with concern. "He's not even here."

"That doesn't mean I should give up on him," you argue.

"But why? It doesn't make any sense. You can't possibly have feelings for him. You're not a witch," he scoffs, shaking his head in disbelief.

Immediately, you stand up and glare down at him. "I'm not a witch, so what? What the hell are you trying to say, Sebastian?"

"You barely even know him anymore," Sebastian argues. "You haven't talked to him for months, and besides, you're married."

"Oh my god," you scoff, "You can't be serious right now. You know we're not actually married."

"Yeah, but," he stands up and grabs your arms, pulling you towards him. "I'm worried about you, Y/N. I'm just saying, maybe you should think about your future. If he's not willing to come to the muggle world for you then maybe you should think about moving on."

"That's not fair. You know how complicated everything is between us," you sigh.

"Well," he starts, pulling away. "I can't tell you what to do, but maybe it's time you made some tough decisions."
