Finn (bxb)

43. Sebastian the Peacemaker

Finn's jaw tightened, his eyes were filled with rage.

I'm all for a hot boyfriend moment, and he looked real sexy right now. But even I thought this might go overboard for a tiny push.

He stood up abruptly, and I immediately clutched his hand, shaking my head furiously.

He gently cupped my cheek, rubbing his thumb across my cheekbone. "I'm gonna kill that motherfucker."

I panicked internally. Hard.

"Finn, no. Don't go beat him up or something."

It was clear he was in no mood to let this slide. Oh my god. Talk about overkill.

He grabbed his keys and I knew I had to stop him before he did something stupid. He might get expelled if this got out, or even worse, our parents might cancel our trip.

Oh no.

Time for the trump card.

I clutched his hand even tighter, my eyes darting over him. I widened my eyes slightly.

"But baby, are you gonna leave me here all by myself?"

I looked to the floor, softening my voice. "My ankle really hurts."

I could feel the shift in him almost immediately. He crouched down on his knee so he was on my level.

"No, no. I'm sorry babe, I'm not going anywhere."

He sat back down next to me, and I hid my grin. He wrapped an arm around me and pulled me close.

"It'll be fine soon, love."

We were called in soon and luckily, it was just a minor sprain and I'd be fine in a few days. I just had to avoid putting too much weight on it for a day or two and wrap it with something for stability or whatever.

Finn decided I needed to be carried all the way to my room, and he did just that. After making sure I was comfortable, he looked ready to bolt.

I had a pretty good guess of what he was trying to do.

I grabbed his hand and pulled him hard enough so he fell onto the bed with me. He brushed his hair out his face, confused.

"Wha-"

"Baby, I know you're mad, but can you let this matter go? I don't want to start a fight with Ben."

He opened his mouth and closed it again, no words coming out. He was clearly not happy about the situation.

"But baby-"

I placed my finger on his lips. "Shush. He didn't hurt me, it was an accident. Yes, he was talking bullshit but he isn't the one who caused my sprain, at least not intentionally."

He wasn't having it, and it took me another ten minutes and some kisses to convince Finn to stay put.

I sighed.

"Now, will you tell me what's actually up with you two? There's definitely a deeper reason he hates you this much."

He sighed, frustrated. "I don't know. We were never super close but used to be on good terms at least. He had this massive crush on my friend, and I was even trying to get them together."

He cringed slightly. "He eventually got her to like him back, and right about then he decided to ghost her. He was such a fucking jerk, and has been messing with me since then. I think he just did for the thrill of the chase."

I shook my head. "What a prick."

He sighed and gave me a look. "He's never gone this far, however. I'd always stayed silent because I didn't care for his bullshit, but..."

He cupped my cheek, his eyes conflicted. "I really want to beat his ass up right now."

I clutched his hand, shaking my head. "Hey, how about this- the next time he tries something, we both go beat him up?"

He was pouting, but didn't argue with me. I decided to change the topic before he got too mopey.

"Will you help me pack? I know it's still a few days away, but I could get started on it now."

That seemed to cheer him up a bit, and he scrambled off of my bed. After a bit of digging around, he pulled out a pair of my shorts.

It had pineapples all over them. It looked ridiculous.

He nodded approvingly. "This one is definitely coming with us."

I groaned. Letting Finn pick out my outfits was probably not a good idea.

Chonk walked in at that moment. I grinned and picked up the fat ball of fluff.

"Aw, come heree babyy-" I kissed his head andnhe snuggled into my arms.

Finn turned around with a wide smile, that fell instantly when he saw Chonk with me.

He was pouting. "I thought you called out for me."

I laughed and beckoned him to come closer. He got in next to me on the bed, careful not to hurt Chonk.

He wrapped his arms around me, pulling my head into his chest, Chonk snug in between us.

He placed a kiss on my hair.

I sighed and closed my eyes. I think this was what true bliss felt like.
