Not As It Seems (Huntbastian) [Discontinued]

XIV

"Sebastian?" Hunter opened the door, eyes immediately widening as he took in the sight.

There was nothing quite like coming back to find your boyfriend sobbing on the ground, blood practically spilling out of his side.

"Oh my god, Sebastian, are you okay? You're bleeding." Hunter immediately hurried over to him, grabbing the first aid kit.

He took a washcloth from the rack and gently wiped the blood off of the wound before cleaning it. The last thing they needed was it to get infected.

He bandaged it with shaking hands, unable to help but notice that it was exactly on where the mark on Sebastian's skin was. With a shattered heart, he realized that Sebastian must have been trying to get rid of it.

He pulled Sebastian up off the ground. "Come here," he said softly, hugging him.

Sebastian hugged back immediately, sobbing into his shoulder. Hunter held him, wishing he had made the headmaster wait.

Hunter gently led him over to his bed, laying him down on his uninjured side. He knew he was exhausted from crying his eyes out.

Sure enough, soon Sebastian was asleep with tear tracks on his cheeks.

Hunter looked at him for a minute, pulling the sheets over him. He looked so vulnerable, so helpless. Exactly what he tried to not look like.

He wished he could capture this moment. Somehow where he could just see the pure Sebastian. The Sebastian who showed pain, who showed fear. Who didn't bottle it all up.
