Fine As Wine

So. Valentine’s week was a trip. I am not in love with Sebastian Smythe. This has been a psa

You seem rather confused, so let me make it easier for you. Publishing something online =/= Advertising. If it were, everyone would have become celebrities by now. So don’t string together words you don’t even know the meaning to, Smythe, it’s just embarrassing.

So if I say I enjoy having sex, it means I’m asking for it? Oh, men. Why am I not even the least bit surprised? You disappoint me, Sebastian Smythe. All bark but absolutely no bite. Let me know the next time you feel like helping out again, as I do enjoy tearing insecure, yet obnoxious people down.

What’s fascinating me most in this conversation is that one of us is actually listening and trying to help and the other is being a belligerent asshole. Allow me to save you the time of calling me the asshole and spell out that I’m obviously referring to you.

It actually is painfully equivalent to advertising, you poor, naïve girl. You’ve just told everyone who happens across your profile that you like attention regardless of whether or not it’s wanted or unwanted. You may as well hang a sign around your neck that says “I don’t care whether or not it’s consensual, have at me.” Don’t “oh, men” me. This has nothing to do with whether or not you enjoy sex. Everyone should enjoy sex, women especially, given the way they’ve been oppressed over the centuries. I don’t buy into the whole “slut shaming” thing, or the concept of men having any say in a woman’s sexuality.

That being said, if you’re looking for some creep who gets off on a lack of consent to come find you, who am I to stand in your way? You’ve already stated you get off on it too.

Feeling rebellious, are we?

I have to admit I understand the impulse. But, that said, I can appreciate being allotted time to be alone with my thoughts, and my books. Couldn’t you?

Want to rebel with me, babe? I can think of plenty of things we should do.

It’s not that I wouldn’t appreciate the time itself. My main complaint is that I firmly believe I should be able to choose when and if that time is allocated.

I am, but are you? If you think having a conversation with you is the same as advertising to the entire school, here’s a tiny note for you - you’re not that important, Smythe, so don’t fool yourself.

I’ve said nothing about the way nor the reason, but go on, let’s hear what you have to say. Although, I’d suggest you to think twice before picking a fight with me. We don’t want that already inflated ego of yours to be bruised now, do we?

I didn’t say you were advertising to the school. As I recall, I said you were advertising to the internet. If you honestly don’t realize that once you publish something online, it’s available for the world to see, then you’re not half as intelligent as I’d previously assumed.

I was going to attempt to help you, but given the situation, maybe I’ll let it go. Continue putting out a virtual Craig’s List add for a new stalker and I guess we’ll see how this goes, won’t we?

You repulse me and those words coming out of your mouth makes me feel physically ill.

Joe: Shaking his head, Joe continued to lightly preen against Sebastian’s feathers. The thought of another shower in the morning made Joe want to crawl inside Sebastian’s bed and just get on it. But the guilt seeping into his stomach made him do otherwise. “Not with me, at least. I was alone when I woke up, or... at least I think I was. Everything is so hazy, Seb,” he admitted softly. “I’m starting to feel tired. Would it be alright if we went to sleep soon?” Joe leaned backwards, eyes closed but he still trusted Sebastian to hold his weight for him and keep him upright. “Thanks again for letting me stay. I didn’t want to be alone.”

Sebastian: He ran a hand rhythmically over Joe's new hair, sighing softly. From what he knew about mental health and recovery, which was admittedly very little, Sebastian said what he thought and hoped was true. "I'm sure it will come back over time, babe. You have to be patient with yourself. Your body will do what it need to take care of you and protect you. And I'm sure everyone else is fine." Sebastian tightened his hold, keeping Joe against his chest. "I'm already dreading you leaving tomorrow, if we're being quite honest. So feel free to stay whenever. And we can go to bed whenever you want."

Joe: Sebastian repeated the nurse’s words, but all Joe could hear was the offer for more of the boy’s delicious food. “I would love to be treated to some more of your delicious food,” he reassured. How was he feeling? No one had really asked that yet. Of course Sebastian would bring him to more vulnerability than anyone else had. He’d been doing it all evening. With a small smile, Joe assured the other boy with soft words, “I am alright. I’m glad to be home. Here. With you. And also showered,” he chuckled, leaning forward to lay his head on Sebastian’s shoulder, fingers spreading across the sweet, feathery softness of Sebastian’s wings. “I hope the others are okay,” Joe confessed quietly, barely audible to the room.

Sebastian: "Good. I'll treat you to as much as you like." Sebastian relaxed as Joe rested his head on his shoulder, humming softly as he felt the touch on his wings. It was unusual that he didn't hate Joe doing that, considering how against it he was usually. But his touch was always so delicate and gentle... and he loved that. And it was nice to allow himself to be touched in ways he tended to avoid. "I'm glad you're home as well, obviously. And if you want to take a million showers, mine is both bigger and better than any other shower on the entire fucking campus. It's custom," he smiled proudly. But as Joe continued, his eyebrows scrunched. "What do you mean, you hope? Didn't they come back with you?"

Joe: Nodding, Joe ran a rough thumb against Sebastian’s lower lip, a hesitant smile gracing his cheeks. “Thank you — for thinking about everything. For being patient with me. I know this isn’t what you’re used to.” Leaning in for another kiss, Joe was struck by a sharp pain in his head. His body threatened to curl in on himself, but Joe forced himself to relax once more. “I’ve been getting these awful headaches since I woke up,” Joe sighed as he rubbed at his hairline, “The nurse said it’s probably lack of nutrients and they’ll go away after I get back on my regular diet,” he explained away.

Sebastian: He very much refrained from popping Joe's thumb into his mouth as he touched his lip. Shaking his head, he said, "this last month felt like years. I'll give you all the time you need." He leaned for the kiss, but stopped abruptly as Joe winced. Quickly, Sebastian sat up straighter, hands moving to Joe's head. "I'm sure they'll go away," he reassured him softly. "Well I can pick up and make whatever the fuck you want. Just think on it. God knows you haven't been eating, so whatever sounds good can be considered yours, okay?" Sebastian ran a hand through Joe's hair, huffing softly. This whole thing still seemed so bizarre. It was hard to believe Joe was truly home. "How else have you been feeling?"

Joe: He couldn’t help the shudder that ran through him from all of the affection he was receiving from the other boy. This a Sebastian was very different from the one he knew not-so-long ago. “Uhm,” Joe started, curiosity lining his face, “What is this?” He pointed between them, gesturing to their...relationship? Sebastian had told him before that he didn’t do commitment, relationships weren’t really his thing. But he said that he understood the seriousness of kissing Joe, so what did it all mean? Was Sam still a factor? Would Sebastian be seeing someone else at the same time as Joe in the future? Were they even seeing each other right now? Many questions swirled through his thoughts, and he didn’t want to overwhelm the other boy, so he just voiced the one and hoped for the best answer.

Sebastian: Uncertainy rounded on him, feathers bristling uncomfortable. “Well, that’s definitely a question,” he said softly. Part of him was tempted to respond with a simple ‘whatever you want,’ but he hesitated. Choosing his words more carefully, Sebastian began to explain. “For me personally, the least important part of a relationship is the word you stick to it. And I don’t have any hang ups, here, religiously or otherwise. So I think we should take this at whatever pace your comfortable with.” Given their history, Sebastian also thought it would make sense for them to do this for a while before titles. “Because this has the potential to be your first relationship, I think you should think on it before you make any decision. Talk to your mom. Pray on it, or whatever you do. Make sure Jesus won’t hate you for wanting to date a boy.”

Rachel: If you want to take me out. That would be okay.

Joe: Shaking his head, Joe easily took a seat in Sebastian’s lap, his nerves getting the better of him as he tried to explain his feelings. “The sex thing isn’t even necessarily a religious thing, you know?” He swallowed, trying to word things the right way so that Sebastian could really understand how big of a deal it was to him. “Sex is the truest form of intimacy. I want to...I don’t know. As silly as it probably sounds to you, I want to share that part of me with the person I plan on spending the rest of my life with. That’s all.” Feeling shy, Joe hid his face within his palms, still enjoying the fact that this would be yet another first for him; sitting in another boy’s lap. “How many people have you kissed?” Joe asked quietly. He knew the answer was more than just himself — that was obvious, even if the only other person had been Sam. But Joe counted on the fact that Sebastian was more likely to be much more experienced than Joe in all aspects of a relationship, considering Joe himself had never had one. “Like I said, it wasn’t something I was ever really interested in pursuing. There were a few girls in church that I contemplated it, but it was kind of viewed as improper since the community was so small where I lived.” Squeezing Seb’s hand, Joe smiled just for the other boy. “Thank you. For the compliment, I mean. You’re gorgeous too. Those words are much more positive than unwashed hippy,” he jabbed playfully.

Sebastian: He blinked a few times, clearly confused. He'd made an assumption, nearly sure that it had been a religiously-based decision, but he'd been incredibly wrong. "Hey," Sebastian said firmly, pulling Joe's hands gently away from his face. "You don't need to be embarrassed about what you feel or want. Like I said, I'm not here to push you. Physically or otherwise." He truly pondered the question, biting his lip. Truthfully, Sebastian had never counted the number of people he'd kissed (or fucked, for that matter) but this was the first time he felt ashamed of admitting it. "Plenty. A lot. I don't have a number for you. But quality over quantity, you know?" Leaning up, he kissed Joe softly before saying, "I still think you're a hippie," with a grin.

Joe: “I know that my God loves all of his children. Anything that goes against that ideal, I have no issue not following.” He nodded, laughing softly, the crows feet in the corners of his eyes crinkling with the movement. “I haven’t kissed anyone because... I don’t know, really. Most people don’t want to get involved with someone they can’t...jump into bed with, I guess.” He tried not to sound bitter, but really, there had been many snubbed opportunities in his life with girls from outside of his church, but the no-sex-until-marriage ideal tended to turn people off. “And relationships were never my top priority.” He cocked his head. “Why do you ask?”

Sebastian: He smirked. "I want it to be clear that I am in this regardless of the sex content, and I'm never going to pressure you about that, but..." Chuckling, Sebastian said, "If he's going to love you no matter what, the sex wouldn't matter, babe." He reached for Joe's hand, grabbing it and pulling him backward toward the couch and the flopping down. It took him a moment to rearrange his wings, sitting himself sideways and letting them fall over the arm of the couch and onto the floor. He then patted his lap, reaching for Joe's hand once more to pull him in. "I'm asking because you're gorgeous and... you." Intoxicating? Alluring? "Fascinating. And kind. A number of other things. It seems to me that plenty of people should have kissed the hell out of you by now."
