Nightmares | Sethos x Fem!Reader

Chapter 6

☽⋰⋆⚡️⋆⋱☾

『Reader POV』  

I've always found it hard to pick what to wear to special occasions, and still do. And now my decision wavers between two outfits. A baby blue off-shoulder chiffon dress, which reaches to my knees, or a black, pleated skirt with a white, silky top, which is a bit more casual, but more in my comfort zone. 

"Sethos..." I whine, stepping into his room while he rummages through his closet. I don't know what to wear..." Holding up the two outfits, he smiles and says. "You'll look good, no matter what you wear." My heart flutters with warmth at the compliment, but in contrast to him, I don't look effortlessly stunning, so I shrug it off.

"That.. doesn't solve my problem, but thanks." 

"The dress."

"Okay."

I go back into my room to put the dress on, topping the outfit off with a plain silver necklace, and my favorite earrings, each consisting of five golden stars hanging from the top. After fixing my makeup and hair and using a bit of perfume, I sit down on the couch in the living area, waiting for Sethos.

I nervously tap my foot on the ground, fumbling with the fabric of my dress. I'm no nervous, but also so exited!! My hearts thumps against my ribcage in anticipation. A few minutes later, I feel Sethos hand on my knee, gently restraining my stimming. "Don't be nervous."

He smiles, and my heart literally stops beating for a moment as I see him, wearing a black button-up shirt that perfectly accentuates his shoulders and lean frame. His hair, usually tousled and wild, is now perfectly styled, and his eyes sparkle with an easy confidence that makes my stomach flip. I can feel a blush creeping up my cheeks as I take in the sight of him.

"You look amazing," I manage to say, my voice barely above a whisper.

He chuckles softly, a sound that sends shivers down my spine. "Thanks. You look stunning too, you know."

I smile, feeling a little more at ease. We stand up together, and he offers me his arm. "Ready to go?" he asks.

I nod, and we make our way out of the apartment, heading towards the party. The campus is buzzing with energy as students mill about, laughing and chatting, the warm glow of streetlights casting a golden hue over everything.

As we approach the frat house, the thumping bass of the music grows louder, and I can see groups of people gathered outside, some dancing, others engaged in animated conversation. Sethos squeezes my hand reassuringly, and I grip his arm a little tighter, grateful for his presence.

We step inside, and the party is in full swing. The living room is packed with people, and the air is thick with the scent of sweat, alcohol, and perfume. Colorful lights flash in time with the music, creating an almost surreal atmosphere.

"Let's find a spot to sit," Sethos suggests, leading me through the crowd. We weave our way past clusters of people until we find an empty couch in the corner of the room. We sit down, and I take a moment to catch my breath, the excitement and nervousness swirling within me.

I pull out my phone to write Tighnari
