Hi,
I’ve never made a request before, sorry if I’m doing it wrong. Can you write a short about Sebastian from SDV insisting on walking you home from the saloon and then you inviting him inside for..things? By that I mean it can either be fluff or more, I just welcome more content in general! Thank you so much!!
Hi! I'm so sorry it took so long to answer. Work got really crazy all of a sudden and I haven't had a lot of time to write.
I may have gotten a bit carried away with this request lol. I hope you like it!
Warnings: a bit of angst if you squint, a dash of spice at the end (although nothing happens)
Fandom: Stardew Valley
Character: Sebastian
Breathlessness
Fall was finally over. The growing season was done and the first snow of the winter had started to set in.
With the new layer of ice and snow covering the farm came a chance for you to finally take a breath and relax.
Until now, you had been so caught up in tending to the crops and preparing for winter that you hadn't stopped to really relax. You had practically isolated yourself from the rest of the town. You didn't even have time to hang out with your friends, much to your own disappointment.
Your absence was especially noticed on friday nights when you would typically be at the Stardrop Saloon hanging around the pool table with your friends Abigail, Sam, and Sebastian.
They tried to have fun in spite of your absence, they really did. But, how could they when there friend wasn't there to enjoy the night with them?
And the quiet gloom that had fallen over the group was only made worse by the clearly sour mood that had come over Sebastian.
He tried to pretend he was fine, but Sam and Abigail both knew that was a lie.
Ever since you moved to Stardew Valley over a year ago, you had practically latched on to the trio. Sebastian, of course, took a bit longer to warm up to you. But, once he did, the two of you became practically attached at the hip. The two of you did everything together. It didn't matter if he was wandering along the lake on a rainy day or in his room working on his compiter, you were almost always right beside him. Now, without you around, he felt as if a piece of him was missing.
So, when you came trudging through the doors of the saloon out of the snow, Sebastian felt like his world had somehow clicked back into place. He swore that you had never looked more beautiful than you did in that moment.
You had bundled up against the cold and wind in a heavy coat, a knitted hat ( which was definitely a gift from Emily judging by the bright, multicolored pattern of it), and a pair of work boots which were caked in snow.
You shook the snow off of your boots as you entered and, as soon as the doors closed behind you, pulled off your coat and hat. You hung them on the coat rack by the door and wandered your way over to the pool table, saying hello to the other patrons as you went.
Just getting to see your smile again made Sebastian's heart feel a bit lighter.
As you drew closer, he spotted the flush that had come over your cheeks and face during the long trek from the farm to the saloon. He also spotted the way you were rubbing your hands together in an attempt to bring some warmth back to your work calused hands.
Sebastian, of course, was too busy gawking at you to see the confused looks Abigail and Sam were giving him. Apparently it was his turn but he was too busy staring to hear whatever snarky comment Sam had made.
Wondering what had their friend so slack-jawed, they followed his gaze.
Abigail was the first to react. She jumped up from her spot on the couch, calling out your name, and nearly knocked you over with the force of the hug she gave you.
Sam wasn't far behind her. He tossed his pool stick onto the table and went striding over to you with that familiar big, goofy grin plastered on his face. He said something to you ( Sebastian couldn't quite hear what he said, but it was probably something ridiculous from the way you laughed at him.) then pulled you in for a bear hug.
The two of them slung their arms over your shoulders and guided you towards their little meeting area, all three of you grinning like idiots.
When you made it to the entry, you broke away from them and moved around the table towards Sebastian. The poor boy was sure the whole saloon could hear his heart beat getting louder as you got closer.
Finally, after what felt like an eternity, there you stood right in front of him.
Sebastian took this moment to study every detail of your face. His gaze moving from each little feature to the next.
He was in the process of counting the snowflakes that had begun to melt on your lashes when you finally spoke, breaking him out of whatever trance he had managed to place himself into.
"Hey, Seb. Long time, no see." The dopey grin on your face and that bright look in your eyes was all it took to make him melt right then and there.
Sebastian pulled you against his chest, wrapping his arms around you.
"I missed you so much." He mumbled against your hair.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
After your big entrance, Sam and Sebastian completely abandoned their game of pool. Instead, the trio crowded around you on the couches and did their best to catch you up on what all they had done during the fall.
Abigail told you all about the new video game she had picked up during your absence. She was clearly loving the game if her waving hands and the spark in her eyes were any indicator of her excitement.
Sam, of course, updated you on the band and how they had been doing. He even showed you a few of the songs they had written over the fall.
During all of this, Sebastian simply watched you, his elbow leaned against the back of the couch and his head propped up on his hand. Seb couldn't help the faint smile that pulled at his lips as he watched you talking and laughing with your friends.
Sebastian didn't see you often during the fall. However, when he did see you, you always had this intense focus in your eyes. It was clear that, even in those moments away from the farm, that your work was all that you could think about. It was so good to see you finally free of that burden, even if it was only for the winter.
It was at this moment, that Sebastian realized the three of you were looking right at him. Sam and Abigail had that stupid, all-knowing grin on there faces they always got whenever they caught him doing something stupid. Meanwhile, you looked like you were waiting for a response to something.
"Sorry, what was that?" Sebastian asked, lifting his head from his hand, having to physically shake the cobwebs from his brain for a moment.
"I asked if you had done anything over the fall." You couldnt help but giggle a bit as you repeated yourself.
"Oh.. um..." Seb fumbled for a moment, "Honestly, I haven't really done anything worth talking about." He scratched at the back of his neck, not quite meeting your gaze as he said it.
"Yeah, Seb was a bit too busy brooding to really do anythi- Ow!" Sam's comment was swiftly cut off with a punch to the arm from Abigail who was clearly biting back a shit-eating grin.
"Why? Did something happen?" As you turned your attention back to Sebastian, you immediately noticed the red flush that had come over his ears and cheeks.
"No, nothing happened. I just... I just missed you." Sebastian mumbled the last part, again, not quite meeting your eyes as he spoke.
Your gaze softened a bit and that big, dopey grin was back on your face.
"I missed you too, you dork." You chuckled as you leaned over and wrapped your arms around his torso, your face buried in his chest.
Sebastian was so thankful you couldn't see his face in that moment. Abbey and Sam, however, could absolutely see his face and were trying there hardest not to laugh at just how red he had gotten.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
The four of you talked the whole evening. You probably would have stayed all night if Gus didn't tell you all it was closing time.
As you all stood at the door of the saloon and said your goodbyes, Sebastian couldn't help but feel a slight tightening in his chest.
"Hey, y/n. Do you mind if I walk you home?" The words left his mouth before his brain could even process the thought. Seb wanted to shove the words right back down as soon as he said them.
"Oh. I - yeah! I'd like that. Thank you."
"Okay. Cool!" Sebastian wanted to smack himself in the face. 'Cool? Really Seb?'
"Alright." The soft smile you gave him made his heart feel like it was about to come right out of his chest.
"Well, be careful you two." Abigail interjected. "Wouldn't want you guys to get caught in the snow."
Sam looked like he was about to make a smart-ass comment of some kind but thought better of it with a sturn look from Abbey.
"See you guys later." Sam gave you a big hug and gave Seb a pat on the back with a knowing grin.
With that final goodbye, the four of you stepped out of the warmth of the saloon and into the snow covered night.
While Sam and Abigail returned to their homes, you and Sebastian made your way along the cobblestone path leading out to the farm.
Despite the layers of clothing covering you, the cold still managed to bite through. Your body shook uncontrollably from the cold.
Sebastian, without a second thought, put his arm around you and pulled you against his side as you walked.
"Is this okay?" His heart was practically in his throat as the words left him.
"Yeah. This really helps, actually." Your response was so soft Sebastian could barely hear you over the wind.
His gentle grip on you tightened ever so slightly and began rubbing your arm a bit to generate a bit more warmth.
The silence that enveloped the two of you as you walked was a comfortable one. That was one of the things you always loved about spending time with Sebastian. On more than one occasion, you have trudged your way into Sebastian's room after a long day of work and plopped down on his couch without a word. And, of course, he'd just let you. Because, although he never says it outright, Sebastian wouldn't trade that time with you for the world.
When you finally came to the front door of your cozy little farmhouse, the frost had settled into your bones and wouldn't go away no matter how closely you clung to Sebastian.
"Why don't you come inside and warm up before you head back home. You must be freezing!" As you proposed the idea, you looked up and saw the snow clinging to Seb's hair and eyelashes and how pink his nose and cheeks were.
"Yes, please. If you don't mind."
You gave no response. Just a soft smile as you took him by the hand and led him into the warmth of your home.
Once the two of you had shed your coats and boots, you quietly guided him towards the big red sofa by the fireplace and gestured for him to sit. As Sebastian made himself comfortable, you set to work getting a fire going.
Once that familiar warmth had flooded the living room, you went to the kitchen and began boiling water. You pulled a pair of mugs and a jar with some kind of dried herbs in it out of the cabinet.
Once the tea was done brewing, you sat next to Sebastian and handed him one of the mugs.
As Sebastian stared down at the warm mug in his hands, he noticed that it was black with an intricate skull design painted on the side.
"I saw that mug at the Night Market and thought you might like it." You answered the question before he even had a chance to ask it.
There was a moment of comfortable silence that followed. It was only interrupted by the sound of Sebastian's voice.
"Thank you."
"For what?" You placed your mug on the coffee table as you turned to him.
"For... for being you, I guess." Sebastian looked up just in time to catch the beginnings of tears pooling in your eyes.
Before he could even ask what was wrong, you threw your arms around his neck and buried your face in his neck.
"You have no idea how much that means to me. Especially coming from you." You whispered into his neck, the feeling of your warm breath against his skin giving him goosebumps.
After a few moments like this, you finally began to pull away.
You opened your mouth to apologize, but your words were cut short by the sudden feeling of lips against yours. You only tensed for a moment before you melted into the feeling, your eyes fluttering shut.
It was only a few seconds before Sebastian began to withdraw from you. But he didn't get very far, as you grabbed his face and pulled him back in for more.
Your kiss was filled with a passion that felt like fire running beneath his skin.
Your fingers slid effortlessly into his hair, then your grip tightened and you gave gentle tug. The low growl that came up from deep within Seb surprised even him.
In response, his hands found your waist and pulled you into his lap, drawing a soft gasp from your lips. He took the opportunity to slip his tongue inbetween your parted lips, desperate to taste very part of you.
Sebastian's warm hands found their way under you sweater, appreciatively feeling every curve of your body.
The action sent a shudder down your spine.
You, begrudgingly, were the first to pull away. And, as you did, you gave a playful bite to Sebastian's lower lip and tugged it ever so slightly.
Seb couldn't help but try to chase your lips as you parted. He'd have gladly drowned in your kisses if you'd let him.
Your forehead leaned against his as you both caught your breath, your nose brushing lovingly against each other.
You finally opened your eyes and were met with Sebastian's vibrant green eyes gazing back at you with an intensity you rarely ever witnessed.
"What's that look for?"
"I don't ever want to forget this moment." He replied with a breathlessness that made your heart practically flutter out of your chest. "Not a single second of it."
