sejanus plinth x fem reader
this is a reupload because tumblr took this post down for some reason :( love u anon <3
Your family was far too nosy for their own good, spending too much time dishing out details that didn't concern them. Not wanting to become their next victim, you always vowed to keep the details of your life private. None of them were informed in the change in your relationship status, neither did they know the boy you spent your time with was none other than Sejanus Plinth. Your older brothers and a few of your uncles had been working on some sort of plan to take an audience with Strabo Plinth and somehow convince him to give your family a hefty donation, truth was that Strabo Plinth was just the latest wealthy man that contained riches your family were enchanted with. He wasn't the first nor would he be the last, you didn't understand how they hadn't grown tired of this game by now. Why would a rich man ever carry the key that would unlock the treasure chest of your family's dreams to begin with? Who's to say that the key wasn't in the possession of their own selves?
Unlike the rest of your family, you always knew that you held the key to your own dreams. You just weren't sure what to do with it. What good is a key without a lock? For the longest time you deemed your key as useless, there was nothing for it to unlock or open.
When you met Sejanus it was as clear as day that he was the lock you were looking for. When you both became involved with one another, it was easier to understood your family's obsession with living out the dream. You just weren't going to tell them that.
"I've heard the Plinths own the largest estate in the area," your uncle fawned over breakfast. "Strabo's done pretty good for himself."
"Didn't know the two of you were on a first name basis," you muttered under your breath.
"Nothing! I'll be heading out now!" You pushed your plate away just as fast as you made your way to the door.
It was lovely outside, and the day became even brighter when you ran into Sejanus right before you got to the library. "Didn't we have plans for today?"
"Did we?" you acted as if you had forgotten but in truth you just wanted to keep him on his toes. But Sejanus knew you too well for you to pull tricks like that.
"You remembered," he chuckled. "You remembered but?" he waited for you to finish his sentence.
"But I had a few errands to run beforehand".
"Alright," Sejanus slung an arm around your shoulder as you pulled out a slip of paper from your pocket that listed to books you were here to pick up.
It didn't take long for you to retrieve your books, and once you did Sejanus gladly held them for you. "So now that you're done with your errand I was thinking that we could-"
"I have to drop these home first," you interrupted.
You watched as he clicked his tongue before smiling back at you. "Alright, let's go sweetheart."
The house was empty when the two of you arrived, just as you knew it would be during this time of day.
"Where do you want these?" you were glad that the stack of books in Sejanus's hands hid his line of sight from how messy your room currently was.
"You've done enough." You kissed his cheek in thanks.
"You're welcome." He pressed a soft kiss to your lips in return. His gesture was much bolder than yours.
Sejanus quickly stepped back. "Was that too?-"
"No," you breathed out as you pulled him closer to you. This time it was you who pulled the bold gesture of initiating a kiss.
Sejanus was no fool, of course he reciprocated back. You two were both sprawled out at this point, he couldn't help himself and neither could you.
"You're so pretty," he pulled away for a short moment to brush the hair out of your face so it wouldn't bother you. "Beautiful."
You smiled against his lips. "You always tell me that."
"I can get more creative." He smiled before he locked his lips back onto yours.
You were more than willing to kiss him senseless, but you suddenly caught a hold of yourself.
"What's wrong?" Sejanus asked.
"Nothing. I just... I didn't mean to get so carried away."
Sejanus was still breathless as he slightly titled his head in confusion.
"I'm sorry," your hands wipe at your face. "I shouldn't have-"
"I just... I got carried away." Repeating yourself only made you more nervous. "It's just... I was being sloppy".
"Sloppy? You were doing just fine baby."
"So now it's slobbering?" he smiled but you didn't reciprocate it. "You're perfect. What makes you think you're a bad kisser lovely?"
"Is it this?" he kissed the side of your lip. "Is it me? Am I doing something wrong?"
You would have responded if Sejanus wasn't so eager to kiss you properly. "Sejanus.."
"Angel..," he cooed back. His soft hands cradled your head as he kissed you once more.
You giggled at his antics. "So this is funny now?"
"Nuh-uh," your hand reached for his hair.
"Well what's got you giggling then?-"
"What're you doing home? I thought you were- Oh-"
You pushed Sejanus away as soon as you heard the voice. You didn't expect anyone to be home, let alone one of your brothers. He didn't seem to pay too much attention to you though.
"That's- You're the Plinth boy. What's the Plinth boy doing here?"
"So what do you need? Whatever it is, you're not getting it cause of how you barged in here!"
Your brother paid you no regard. "Did your father get one if my uncle's letters? Or maybe one from any of my brothers? Did he get mine at least? Is that why you're here?"
Sejanus cleared his throat, "Letters?"
"I'm sure he had to receive at least one. "How'd you even get in here anyway?.." your brother suddenly turned to you.
"Is this?.." he gestured between you and Sejanus, "Are you two?-"
"Strabo Plinth didn't get your letter alright!" you yelled.
He turned to Sejanus as you pushed him out of your room,"If you can put in a word with your father next time you see him-"
The door slammed before he could finish his sentence. "Ignore that,", you told Sejanus. "All of that".
"Even what happened before?", Sejanus smiled.
"You know what I meant," you scoffed playfully as he leaned in to kiss you once more.
