"What are you doing?"
I entered the living room with a mug of hot cocoa as I eyed Sebastian.
He was currently trying to set up his phone with a set of random books and a lamp on a desk by the window to get a proper angle.
"I am gonna tell a story." He leaned his phone against the body of the lamp only for it to fall, "Shit."
I smiled at his clumsiness as I set my mug down on the coffee table.
"Here, let me do it." I walked towards him and helped on his makeshift phone tripod.
As I finished setting it up, I glanced at him. "You know how to make it work, right?"
I grinned at him playfully and he rolled his eyes in response. "I know."
"Now, go be useful somewhere else." He shooed me and I stuck my tongue out at him as I pick out a book from the bookcase beside him.
"Okay. Go make 'em fall in love with you." I cheekily said, kissing the top of his head before turning back to the couch with my book.
As I read where I left off, I took a quick glance at Sebastian who is now currently recording and mentioning his love for the book he was gonna read and for what amazingly good cause it was.
I smiled to myself at his kind heart and was reminded once again by how lucky I am to have him in my life.
I took a sip of my drink when I heard Sebastian in his animated voice, "So without further ado, especially now. Each and every one of you, I love you to the moon and back!"
And I just spit some of my drink back to the mug as I quietly move around to clean up the mess he caused me.
Sitting back on the couch, cross-legged, with my book long forgotten, I decided to watch his storytelling and chuckle as quietly as possible at his animated hilarious expressions and gestures to the camera.
Every now and then, I know he gets a bit distracted with my laughter and quickly glances at me but I just wave him off and put two thumbs up like a proud mother to say that he is doing great.
As he ended the story, "That's right. We have a moon that exists and we should love someone to the moon and back."
I blushed a bit when he very quickly glanced my way.
"What a romantic." I shook my head at his adorable antics and decided to get back to my book before he can see me still blushing.
"Hey." I heard him say after a while.
I looked at him putting back the things he used with his recording as I replied, "Yup?"
"What did you think?" He grinned, referring to his storytelling session.
"It was good." I smiled at him as he took a seat beside me, "And it's for a good cause. I'm proud of you."
He smiled back genuinely.
"You're a good guy, Sebastian."
"I'm pretty sure it's because of you that I am." He winked at me, then kissed my cheek affectionately.
I scoffed playfully in response, "Charmer."
"It's true." He reaffirmed as he grab my mug of hot cocoa.
"I—" I was about to take the mug away to stop him from drinking but he already took a gulp. "—spit in it."
His eyes widened ever-so-slightly but then dismissed the situation with a shrug. "Still delicious."
"Oh my god." I muttered, the palm of my hand across my face.
He chuckled as he crossed his arms and rested his head on my shoulder to get comfortable on the couch.
I sighed in defeat and just decided to give up on finishing my book.
He saw me close my book because he asked, "Aren't you gonna read?"
"Nope." I emphasized the popping of the 'p'. "I won't be able to concentrate with your annoying presence."
"Oh, come on." I heard him pout, snaking an arm behind my waist and snuggling closer.
"Read it." He turned to look at me, "In fact, read it loudly. Read for me?"
He tilted his head slightly in an attempt to persuade my decision — which worked — as I sighed in defeat once again.
"Alright. But if you interrupt me, so much of a single word, I will kick you off of this couch." I turned to him pointedly.
He wiggled his eyebrows in affirmation, and I started to open my book to where I left off and read aloud.
It wasn't until the middle of the chapter that Sebastian decided to open his damn mouth. "Hey."
"I swear to god, Sebastian!" I glared at him.
He just grinned at me before saying, "You know I love you, right?"
I slightly leaned away in surprise.
I know he loves me and he says it as much but this one just caught me off guard.
It was very random and sudden.
"Where'd that come from?" I raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
He shrugged, trailing his words. "The... moon...?"
I gaped at him, "You know you're annoying, right?"
I slammed my book shut and stood up.
"Come on, babe." He grabbed the hem of my sweatshirt.
"Fuck off, Seb." I matched his excruciatingly annoying teasing voice and effortlessly got my shirt out of his grasp before walking to our bedroom.
He laughed loudly and also stood up — following me closely behind with a huge grin plastered on his face. "Not without you, I won't."
