I Like Being Alone//Sebastian x Reader

Ch. 7 - Final

He pulled his face away, eyes drifting towards the floor. I felt hot all over, suffocating around my throat, running down my neck. I tried to catch my breath, hide the mask of insecurity I was now wearing, fully aware that I would be the girl after Abigail. There wasn't a space, there wasn't a pause, it was just her then me. An almost-overlap in the forest, even worse odds for me.

My head started to feel light, hazy, prickly all over. I squeezed my eyes shut until I felt the slow trial of liquid build up at the bridge of my nose before releasing down, bouncing past my lip and onto the mattress. I opened my eyes to find two drops of blood and my hand snapped up to catch anymore.

Sebastian's head directed back to me, eyes darting from the sheets to my face before jumping up off the bed.

"I'm so sorry," I mumbled though the back of my hand.

"I'll be right back," he said, already halfway out of the room.

I wiped the majority of the blood from my face into my palm as my breathing steadied. He stormed back into the room with a wad of paper towel, panicked expression on his face.

"Are you okay? What happened?" He rushed through his words before grabbing my hand away from my face, blotting the blood with the paper.

"I don't know," I whispered, eyes darting around the room before they met his. He broke it with a smile and I felt my shoulders relax. We both started rolling with laughter, his hand still pressed above my lip.

"I can hold it now I think." I smiled as our hands traded places.

"This is really dumb," he said, readjusting his body on the mattress next to me. I cocked my head towards him before he continued.

"This is really dumb because this is gonna be really gross," he let out a sigh before grabbing the paper away from my face and placing his fingers across my lips. My breath caught and in one motion before I had even a second to process it, his lips were on mine. In a fast, gross, grit-filled fluidity the cross from other woman to current was bridged.

I know you all wanted an ending to this and I have no creative drive to truly finish it so take this as my resignation from it. Thanks for the support!
