Chapter 6

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Sebastian laid on his bed still in his clothes from that night, staring at the ceiling.

He wasn't entirely sure what possessed him to kiss her like that, but watching her with Garreth brought all the feelings back he shoved down in school.

The ones he was too afraid to admit he had for her.

He didn't realize he even had feelings for her until he went to go see if she was in the library during sixth year and watched as Garreth fucking Weasley kissed her.

He remembers freezing and then turning to run right out of the library. He pushed the feelings down her entire relationship with him, saying that he was happy just being her friend.

Once they had graduated, he couldn't help but invite her over that one night.

The night their entire friendship ended.

He tried squeezing his eyes shut, rubbing his hands down his face but his mind failed him as the memory flashed into his brain.

They were sitting on a blanket outside in a field beside the Feldcroft home. Ominis was travelling with Poppy and her gran as they wanted to see how the new snidget nests were doing.

Maeve had owled him, telling him that she found ancient magic spell books and wanted to show him.

He didn't hesitate to invite her over.

So there they were under the night sky, on a blanket, flipping through the books.

"How's auror training going?" Maeve sighed snapping the book closed. She was laying on her stomach, her blonde hair pulled back into a simple twist, a few strands dangled forward.

"Good." Sebastian smiled closing his book now, turning his attention to her. "They said I should be on track to finish by the end of the fall."

"That's fantastic Sebastian." Maeve gleamed sitting up and resting her hand on his thigh.

Their eyes met for a brief second before he cleared his throat, looking away. But she didn't move her hand.

He looked back at her, a gust blew causing those perfect loose strands to sway. He reached up to tuck one behind her ear, a pink blush forming as he touched her.

It was now or never, Sebastian had thought to himself.

"Maeve, I wanted to talk to you about something." Sebastian blows out a nervous breath.

"What is it?" Maeve asks quietly, he could've sworn she inched slightly closer to him.

"Merlin, I don't even know how to start this," he chuckles nervously, "but since you and Weasley are over now I just wanted to explain, how I felt -." Before he could even finish his sentence, she was on her knees in front of him, cupping his face in her soft hands.

"Me too." She whispered

"You don't even know what I was going to say." He laughed.
