『Chapter 17』

As you felt his slender fingertips grazed onto your wet cheeks, a loud bang was heard as Claude snapped his head back as he suddenly flew sideways. You let out a sudden gasp as you never felt happier to see Sebastian standing by the broken door.

But Claude wasn't done yet. He rose to his feet, charging towards the other demon as you watched the battle between the two. "You put a finger on her again, I will make you suffer, Faustus," Sebastian growled, pulling out his weapons -- his significant silverware. 

"Charming... Makes me wonder how did she end up with you." Claude spat back as Sebastian threw his knives at him, which he easily dodged. They got into a hand-to-hand battle as you tried to free yourself. At one point, Sebastian threw a kick onto Claude's torso, sending him flying across the room. Sebastian quickly ran after you, easily breaking off the metal shackle from your wrist as he picked you up in his arms.

You shuddered and clutched onto his shirt, pressing your nose to his neck. For the first time ever, you felt safe under his touch. The "It's alright, Y/n. You're safe." He reassured as he immediately left the scene.

As for Claude, he watched the way Sebastian cradled you into his arms, fleeing the scene. The image of it caused him to smirk.

You couldn't describe how scared you were back then. If it only were because of Sebastian to save you, God knows what might have happened to you. The thought of it sent a shiver down your spine as you nuzzled into Sebastian's neck. "How are you feeling?"

You didn't know how to respond. You didn't even bother to open your mouth. You were still in shock. So instead, you shook your head in response. Sebastian noticed you as he understood. He silently carried you as he walked back to the mansion.

Minutes went by and you had been wanting to say a few words to him and figured now was the best time. "Thank you... Sebastian."

Sebastian's eyes widened at your sudden voice. But he blended his alert with his smile, "No need to thank me, kitten."

You were still feeling uneasy. Not because of Claude but because of your feelings. You had ever felt this attached to someone before, never thought about it either. But when Sebastian came across your life, he swiped that off.

"Sebastian?" You looked up at him, your cheeks started to glow red. "Yes..." He replied, locking his eyes onto yours, "...Y/n?"

You bit your bottom lip, hesitant to say the there words. "I... I lo-... I love you..." You said it. You flustered at the words that came out of your own lips. But you meant it. And you wanted him to know.

Sebastian raised his brows, stopping his track. He processed the words to his brain, actually hearing you said the words he'd been wanting to hear. Then he curved his lips into a smile, tilting his head. "I am flattered." He said, jokingly. You narrowed your brows at his words.

Sebastian took your hand, pressing t to his lips. "I love you too." He muzzled against your forehead, slowly pressing his tender lips onto yours.

"Y/n! You're back!" Mey-rin walked towards you, as you were still clinging onto Sebastian's arms. The other two immediately dropped whatever they were doing and followed Mey-rin. And if you were being honest, you were touched by how they worried you.

"Sorry I got you worried. I caught myself in a trouble." You smiled at them. Sebastian told them to give you some space. He carried you all the way to your room, you weren't complaining. He gently placed you on your bed as he backed up.

"Do you need anything?" He asked.

You hugged yourself, your thoughts flooding back to a few hours ago. The way Claude put his hands on you, just like before. You wanted to wash it all away.

A blush crept into your cheeks as you asked him a favour, "Can you help me shower?"

Sebastian doubted for a moment. You were just harassed and he didn't want to make you more uncomfortable by him seeing your exposed skin. "Are you sure?" You nodded, not saying any other words.

"Very well. I'll prepare the water." He nodded his head, walking towards your dresser. He pulled out a towel and gave it to you for you to cover yourself after you slip out your dress. He entered the bathroom, turning the faucet of the tub as he thought to himself.

What if I ask her to be my soulmate?
