At the mention of his exam partner name he groaned and ran a hand across the back of his neck. “Honestly, love, it was probably the worst exam I ever. Now I have to do extra sessions and extra practice that I know if I was with literally anyone else it would have been so much better. Feel like she made me look bad.” Sebastian did not come here to complain about it but once the floodgates were open it was pretty hard to stop. “I’m glad yours was better, Zach seems like a pretty good guy and that you guys got into a rhythm with each other.” When she scooted closed he wrapped his arm around her so they flushed together and placed his chin on top of her head. “I would be a little offended if you don’t miss my beautiful mug. My plans were literally to sit with you until you kick me out. Oh! Got something for you.” Sebastian untangled himself briefly to drop his hoodie into her lap. It was a long and salmon print hoodie with some random university printed on the front, but it was soft and warm and that’s what was important. He wrapped his arm back around her again and assumed his previous position. “See this? This is my all time favourite hoodie and thought you could use it after the exam. Protect it with your life.”
Victoria shook her head, moving to place her hand against Sebastian’s back while she began rubbing small and soothing circles between his shoulder blades. “It sounds like it was rough. You didn’t deserve that. Maybe you could talk to the headmaster?” She offered, trying to brainstorm anything that might help the cause. “She was there, she had to see everything.” Victoria nodded again when Sebastian spoke about Zach. “He was very good. We don’t talk or hang out much obviously, but he was great. I don’t think I could have had a better partner...Unless it had been you.” She said shyly, chewing her lip nervously while she spoke. She smiled wider when he pulled her closer. Having someone there meant more than she could say, and she hadn’t felt this close to someone in a very long time. Still, Victoria knew there was still a lot to talk about between them, a lot to learn, and a lot of room to grow. She didn’t mind though, she liked Sebastian, and spending time with him. “I did miss you, I’m glad I told you now. I can’t have you being offended.” She laughed, her eyebrows raising at the mention of something for her. “You do? You shouldn’t have...” When Sebastian gave her the hoodie she brought it to her face immediately. “It smells like you. That’s a good thing.” Sliding forward a bit she shimmied into the hoodie then leaned back against Sebastian easily, resting her head against his chest. “I will Sebastian, I promise. Thank you for this, it’s really sweet.” Shifting, she stretched so that her lips would meet his. Sliding a hand up and around the back of his neck she toyed with the hair at the nape of his neck teasingly. “Tell me something I don’t know about you.” Victoria said when she pulled back.
