There was no way to describe how you had been feeling for the past day, month, year. As a fresh adult in the world, life had been increasingly monotonous and usual. Nothing out of place, nothing exciting, nothing frightening, just plain. Hogwarts had been a dream the last three years, but now that you had to work you felt as though the magic had been sucked from your life.
It wasnât just because of working and surviving, but because your social interactions had dwindled. Work was boring, but it was your own fault. You didnât know what you wanted to do with your life yet, so you told yourself you had one single year to work in a shop and figure it out. That was in June, and now it is April. Time was running out, and you were scared shitless. Keeping in touch with friends from school proved harder than intended, and while you meant to send letters it became more and more difficult to find ambition. Which was particularly embarrassing, since Slytherinâs were meant to have a never ending supply of ambition.
It was a quiet Friday in the small garment shop, and you were looking forward to the weekend. Nothing out of the ordinary, other than perhaps how quiet the shop was. Sitting behind the counter, reading a book lazily, you glance up when the bell on the door rings.
âWelcome in-â you stop, staring aghast at the person who has walked in, before smiling at them and letting out a small laugh. Sebastian Sallow stood in the doorway, grinning sheepishly at you and your surprised expression. He was one of the few friends you tried to keep in contact with, despite being busy and unmotivated.
âWhat are you doing here?â you shout out as you walk out from behind the counter. He doesnât say anything right away as you wrap your arms around him, engulfing him in a hug. You feel him press his head into the crook of your neck, and you squeeze him tightly.
âFigured I would take a little birthday trip down here, visit old friends. Wanted it to be a surprise,â he says, pulling away with a smile. âAnd I have come to kidnap you on the promise of drinks on me.â
âOh gods, yes, happy birthday!â you tell him, trying to cover up the fact that you had forgotten. But yes, today was 17 April, and his birthday had only been a few days earlier. âHow does it feel to be nineteen?â
He laughs, giving a shrug. âUnderwhelming, if anything. Do you have much longer here for the day?â he asks, clearly eager to get out and drink. You shake your head, smiling. âGive me fifteen minutes to count the money and lock up. Itâs almost five anyways, and then we can go!â
You busy yourself closing the small shop, glancing up at him with a smile every so often. It was such a delight to see him, after almost a year of being apart. He looked good, tall and confident, and you could tell that he had grown into himself in the last year. There were this lingering feelings for him, of course, when you received a letter or thought of him on occasion, but right now it was just good to see your friend.
With a turn and lock, you closed the shop and the two of you ventured out onto the high street in search of drinks. âIâm thinking that maybe we head somewhere small,â Sebastian said, leading the two of you down the street. You nod, eager to sit and talk and drink. He looked radiant almost, the glow of the low sun illuminating him and his smiling face, his freckles practically glowing. It felt like nothing had changed since the last time you were together, and you loved that.
There was a small corner pub that seemed to beckon him, and he quickly pulled you inside. It was a Friday, so there were few spaces to choose from in the pub, but the two of you found a tiny booth situated in one corner. He left you there to buy the first round of drinks, quickly returning with two pints. Scooting over the accommodate him, the two of you pressed against each other in the tiny space as you drank your drinks.
âPlease let me buy the next round, since itâs your bloody birthday,â you say, laughing as he shakes his head no. âThis is my treat, for showing up unannounced,â he says, taking a gulp of his drink. âHow have things been for you? We really must try to write to each other more.â
It was true, the two of you maybe exchanged letters once a month now. Life had gotten busy, for you and probably for him as well. âIâm mainly just working, nothing exciting,â you say, and then giggle. âThis is embarrassing, but I canât remember the last time I was in a pub on a Friday night.â
âDo you not like going out anymore? We could have gone and just gotten dinner, or even just taken a walk,â he says, his tone concerned. You find these suggestions sweet, a reminder of how caring he can be when he wants to be.
âNo, I just donât have much of a social life, and it would be pretty depressing if I came to the pub alone on a weekend,â you say, taking a swig of your drink. The golden liquid blooms in your chest, creating a warmth inside you. Sebastian nods in an understanding way. âThat you be pathetic,â he says, grinning.
You laugh, and he laughs, and it's as though you have not been apart for the past nine months. âWhat have you been up to?â you ask him, trying to give him a chance to speak. He shrugs. âSame as you, just working. I went to see Ominis yesterday, poor bastard was also not expecting me and is sick as a dog.â
That statement seemed to answer your lingering question about why it was just the two of you out tonight. Unless he planned on more people meeting you there later. âIs anyone else coming tonight?â you ask, trying to get an answer.Â
Sebastianâs smile wavers a bit, but only for a second. âDid you want other people to come?â he asks, almost trying to get an answer for himself. You shake your head, and he smiles. The two of you continue to drink your drinks, and soon you are staring at an empty cup.
Trying to fish out your wallet, he beats you to it and is at the bar in a flash. âSebastian, Iâm serious. Let me buy you at least one drink tonight as a celebration,â you protest as he comes back with full glasses. He only shakes his head, setting the drinks down.
âYou can buy me one when Iâm drunk,â he says, grinning. You donât say anything, just sipping your drink while trying to hide your smile. You watch him out of the corner of my eye, how his throat moves when he swallows the alcohol. Perhaps it's the liquid running through your veins, but he looks better than he did in school. There was this new air of confidence surrounding you, and you wanted to say something bold but couldnât bring yourself to it. Instead, you gulp the amber liquid in the hopes that the courage comes along the way.
âWoah! I didnât actually mean that, neither of us need to get drunk before you buy me a drink,â Sebastian says, gently guiding the glass away from you. Giving him a funny look, you pull it back. âYou donât want to get drunk?â
He shakes his head, not smiling as big as he once was. âI donât, not tonight, not with you.â
That makes you pause mid sip, thinking of all the ways his words could be interpreted. Looking at him, you furrow your eyebrows and hope he elaborates. Sebastian eyes you, looking shy and bashful in an instance. âDo you remember when we went to the Yule ball together last December?â he asks you.
You nod. Of course you did, even though the night hadnât gone as planned. You had hoped that that was the night everything came full circle, that the two of you would get together. But instead, Sebastian drank too much and ended up throwing up in the bushes outside with you to witness it all. It was something the two of you laughed about later on, but you always felt disappointed.
âI wish I had kissed you that night,â he says, catching you completely off guard. âI regret drinking so much, but I was so nervous and wanted to feel confident, and I screwed it up. I screwed it up with you.â
Your mouth is half hanging open, not sure what to say. You are trying your best to process what he has just told you, just confessed, but you canât for a minute. He waits expectantly for you to collect your thoughts and respond.
âSo⊠you donât want to get drunk tonight because⊠you want to kiss me?â you ask, feeling slow and out of touch. But when Sebastian laughs, it forces you to smile. âWhat?â you ask him, still smiling.
âI feel like wanting to kiss you is such an entry level requirement for everything else I want from you,â he says, his cheeks immediately turning red after saying that. Yourâs go red as well, at what he could be implying. âBut, I- why didnât you say anything?â you ask, unsure of what else to say.Â
âI didnât want to mess anything up. I would have rather stayed your friend than, I donât know, have scared you off with a big confession,â he said quickly. You shake your head, trying to convince him otherwise. âI donât think you understand how much I would have reciprocated that confession,â you say, smiling.
âAnd now?â he says, looking at you with a sense of uncertainty. The smile on your face becomes a shy one as you look at him, unsure of how to say everything that you want to say. âI think that I look at you now, and all those feelings seem to have stayed with me. Like nothing has changed even though itâs been nine months since weâve had a conversation,â you say, speaking truthfully.Â
You donât even get to look at the smile on his face for long before Sebastian leans in and presses a quick, soft kiss to your lips, pulling back after only a second. You instinctively lean forward as he pulls away, trying to catch his lips again, but he puts a hand on your arm. âNot here, in a pub surrounded by other people,â he says, his voice a whisper against your ear. You nod, understanding and agreeing. âLetâs go somewhere else, then.â
You nod. âI live with other people, though, and I have like, no privacy,â you tell him. He nods, and then continues. âIâm staying in an inn nearby,â he says, before shaking his head. You furrow your eyebrows in question, and he clarifies. âThat just doesnât seem right, me taking you to an inn. Not now, not after all this time.â
You shake your head at his words, not even having had that thought. âI just want to be near you, to make up for lost time.â The words out of your mouth surprise you with how bold they are, but you donât back down.Â
âLetâs just walk around until the morning,â he says, grinning. You smile but you shake your head again. âTake me back with you. I promise, I donât care where we are.â
He nods before standing up, offering you a hand. You let him pull you out of the booth, and hand in hand you leave the half empty pints on the table.
â-------------------------------------------
The inn room is small, with nothing but a bed, a lamp, and a chest of drawers. There is a small bathroom to the left, and you spot Sebastianâs bags on one side of the floor. The two of you stood a few feet away from each other, unsure of where to go from here. As comfortable as you were with each other, it was clear that neither of you wanted to jump into bed with each other right away.
âThis is why I didnât want to bring you back here,â Sebastian said suddenly, looking embarrassed. You shake your head. âI just donât know where to start, and I want to do this, I do, but I canât fathom where to begin,â you say flustered.Â
âWhere to start? You donât have to start or begin anything. I didnât bring you here so you could perform or do anything for me. We can talk, or just stand here, or do whatever you want. Donât feel pressured, and believe me, Iâm probably more nervous being with you than you can imagine,â he says, running a hand through his hair with a smile.Â
His words bring a sense of ease to you, maybe just what you needed to hear at that moment. You step forward until youâre right in front of him, letting him take one of your hands. Gingerly, you stand on your tiptoes and brush a kiss to his lips, waiting for him to move into it. For a moment, the two of you stand nose to nose, and then he closes the gap between you.Â
The first few seconds are gentle and soft, testing the waters out for both of you. But soon, the movements of your lips become uncoordinated, desperate and fast. His hands find their way to your waist and you tangle yours in his hair. The two of you are standing, practically pulling the other person into them, trying to get as close as possible.Â
âCan we- go to- the bed?â you breathe out in between kisses. He nods, and you climb onto the bed, pulling his weight on top of you. You let him cradle you as he presses slow kisses to your lips, his pace changing. He stops and looks at you, staring up from underneath him. âWe donât have to do anything else,â he says, looking at your face for hesitation.
âI want to,â you tell him. âI really, really do.â
Sebastian has a look on his face that betrays both nerves and excitement. Itâs the same look that he had when he asked you to the Yule ball, over a year ago. He nods again, before pressing another soft kiss to your lips. He pulls back again, looking at you, before attaching his lips to your neck. You sigh, and the soft noise seems to ignite something in his brain.
He rolls both of you over, you being on top of his body now. In one swift move, he maneuvers the two of you so that you are sitting up and straddling him on the bed. The two of you stare at each other for a moment before practically smashing your lips together. There is a sense of urgency as you move, hands exploring each other as lips and tongues move together.Â
You move your mouth, peppering light kisses along Sebastianâs jaw and down to his neck and you rock your body against him. He groans underneath you, your name leaving his lips as he rakes his hands over your back and down to your ass. Gripping you, he pulls you closer to him. Becoming impatient, you tug on his shirt in the hopes that he takes it off. The two of you break away for a moment, each tearing your own shirt over your body in a quick attempt to undress.
His hands come behind you, wanting to rid you of your bra, but he pauses. âIs this okay?â he asks, with a tone filled with concern. You press a light kiss to his lips, urging him to continue. âI promise Iâll say something if itâs not,â you breathe out, desperate for him to touch you. He seems to understand your urgency, and your bra is on the floor in the next second.
Sebastian stares at your chest, a look of marvel plastered on his face. In an instant, his lips are attached to your nipple, resulting in soft moans from you as you clutch his hair. âI need you, Sebastian,â you whisper as he sucks on the other nipple. He groans in response, pulling himself away from your chest.Â
You attempt to reach a hand in between the two of you to touch him through his pants, but he stands with you wrapped around him, turning so that he can lay you gently on the bed. He touches your skirt with a light hand, looking at you for any hesitation. You donât speak, but instead start to gather your skirt so that it bunches around your waist. You look at him, your eyes doing their best to say fuck me, please. Without a single word, you shimmy out of your underwear and invite him in.
Sebastian practically buries his face in you. His mouth and tongue make these obscene sounds as he licks, sucks, kisses, and laps at every part of your sex. The noises mix with the moaning and babbling that emerge from your mouth, and youâre saying these things that you never thought you would say. Things like more, oh fuck, Sebastian, I need more.
His hands are gripping onto the soft flesh of your hips and ass, pulling you closer to him. It almost feels as though he wants to swallow you whole as he works you with his mouth and lips. One of his hands disappears, and then you feel his fingers working their way inside of you. Gasping, you clench around the two fingers he has in you, feeling so full already from him. He moans into you, vibrating your lower half as he starts to pump his fingers in you.Â
Itâs too much, all too much. The way he is absolutely worshiping your body is going to cause you to explode. Heâs curled his digits inside of you, his lips sucking like he canât get enough, and you can feel your legs start to tremble. His name leaves your lips, and he does something extraordinary with his tongue that causes everything to shatter for you.
Thereâs no way to describe how good this all feels, except that perhaps you have touched the stars. He is still moving his fingers, his tongue, his lips, as you writhe and gasp on the bed. Once it becomes too much, you start to scoot away from his face, but he follows you with his hand.
âOh god, itâs too much, please Sebastian,â you plead, shaking as he still pumps his hand into you. Heâs watching you, his eyes dark and full of lust, as you try to move away from his hand. After a moment, he moves his hand and pulls his fingers out of you. You watched him, embarrassed, as he popped his fingers in his mouth. âDonât do that,â you say, this shy feeling overcoming you.
âWhy not? I just had my face buried in you,â he says, matter of factly, before grinning wickedly at you. You look down to where he is straining in his pants, and the desire to touch him overcomes you again. Sitting up slightly, you reach your hand out to the buttons on his pants.
He moves away from you, instead bending down to kiss you. âPlease, let me touch you,â you say, reaching again for him. âI donât want this to be over too quickly,â he says, cheeks running red.Â
Thereâs a pause as you consider what heâs saying, and you look at him with a question written on your face. âI want to fuck you properly, and I know I wonât last if you use your mouth on me,â he explains, now really looking embarrassed.Â
âThen do it,â you say, a sense of post-orgasm confidence running through you. Youâre absolutely aching for him, and with your skirt hiked up and your flesh exposed you want him on you at this moment. There is a desire coursing through you, that only he can satisfy. âPlease, Sebastian.â
Without another word, he climbs onto you and devours your lips in a needy kiss. Your bare core presses against his clothed erection, the sensation causing you to moan into his mouth. He immediately starts to grind himself against you, the two of you acting almost like crazed animals as you try to create a sense of friction.Â
âTake them off,â you say, fiddling with his pants again. This time, he stands and obliges. You watch as he removes his trousers and underclothes, and stare as he bares himself for you. Now there was no sense of hiding from him, no sense of unknown. You clenched around nothing as you watched him give his length two quick pumps, the thought of what to come already driving you insane.Â
âYou know Iâve thought about this for a long time,â he says softly, climbing onto you again. âHow I would take you, how you would look, what I would do to you. Youâre perfect, absolutely perfect.â His head dips, kissing the outside of your breast. âAnd I want this to be perfect for you.â
âSebastian,â you say, coming out more as a gasp than actual words. âPlease, I think I might go insane if you donât touch me.â
There is a hint of a smirk that comes over his face, and you feel him line your bodies up. His head bends down again to kiss you, whispering sweet things as he pulls his lips away. Gently, he slides himself into you, coaxing and teasing so that it causes you to feel every little bit. You both gasp in unison when he is fully inside you, a feeling of fullness and closeness like you had never experienced before.Â
He doesnât move for a moment. âI want to hear everything that comes out of your mouth,â he says, commanding you. You nod, the feeling of him already leaving you dazed and delicious. Slowly, he pulls out. And then he pushes in again, slow and deep, and you canât hold back.
There are these babbling words and sounds coming out of your mouth as he fucks you, rotating and snapping his hips. Words like fuck, oh god, please Sebastian, donât stop, feels so good. Things you never imagined you would say, at least not before today. But now it feels natural as they tumble out, mixed with gasps and moans. You intentionally tighten slightly around him, and it brings noises and words from him. Heâs calling you perfect, so good, an angel, beautiful, and everything else you could want to hear from him.Â
His thrusts are rhythmic, deep and precise. There is no great urgency between you, instead just relishing in the movements of each other. You bring your legs around his back, hands clawing at his back. âFuck, you feel so good,â he says, his eyes shut as he moves in and out of you. All you can do is moan in response, no real thoughts left in your head.
But then you feel something else. Sebastian has slipped a sneaky hand in between you, pressing languid circles into your clit as he moves. He has started to get sloppy, his hips snapping with less of a rhythm, and you know he wants you to finish first. The combination of his hand and his length pumping in you cause you to arch away from the bed, his name coming out in gasps as you feel everything. You can feel yourself teetering on the edge of everything, and with one firm press into your clit you fall over.
Everything is on fire on your body, you canât help it. You grab onto one of your breasts, needing to feel something more as you come. He is still saying things to you, things that only seem to drag out the feeling. âYouâre doing so well, oh my god, you look so perfect,â he breathes out, his movement messy. You moan his name loudly one last time, and thatâs it for him. He groans, thrusting three more times before collapsing on top of you.Â
Your legs are still wrapped around him as he buries his head into your hair. He lazily kisses your neck and jaw, as if he wants to taste your skin. Your fingers stroke his hair lightly, both of you breathing loudly and not really moving.
âWas that okay?â he asks suddenly, lifting his head up a bit to look at you.Â
âI feel like âokayâ is a massive understatement,â you tell him, a smile emerging on your face. He matches your smile, pressing a kiss to your lips.
âWhy did you not want to bring me here originally?â you ask, causing him to drop his smile. Sebastian thinks for a moment, looking almost embarrassed.
âI just- I felt like you deserved more than the bed at an inn. And I have to go back home in two days, and it just didnât feel right for you. For how I feel about you, the way I wanted you. But Iâm glad you talked me down from thinking that,â he says, his smile returning. You nod, understanding what he means. âAnd how do you feel about me, or how do you want me?â you ask, almost shyly.Â
But Sebastian grins wider, and you feel foolish for asking. âI like you. Itâs been hard, these last few months without you. And I think that we could be great together, that you should move closer to me or I should move closer to you. If youâll have me, that is.â
You nod, a sense of relief flooding your mind. He lays his head back on you, and for a moment you say nothing. But then you remember something, and giggle. He lifts his head back up slightly, giving you a confused look.Â
âYouâre still inside me,â you say, moving slightly. His eyes widen and he slips out of you gently, pressing a small kiss to your temple as he does so. He stands up, heading to the bathroom. Pausing in the doorway, he turns to look at you laid out naked on the bed. âSo youâll have me, then?â he asks you with a soft smile.
âOf course I will,â you say, it being one of the easiest decisions youâve ever made. âOf course, Sebastian.â
