Chapter Warnings: Chronic Pain flare ups
Chapter Summary: Something Charlie thought she left behind in Zuzu comes back to bite her.
Blurb:
It’s one of those perfect autumn days where the air is cool and crisp, but the sun is still warm. A few puffy white clouds hang in the deep cerulean of the sky. I find myself humming along to some made up tune that floats through my head. 
Despite all of our efforts yesterday, debris has popped up in a few places overnight, including some rocks and bits of wood in the field. While I'm clearing them, I glance up to see Seb kneeling down to pet Daphne. He gently guides her away from the bootlace she’s trying to pull at with her bill and directs her towards the water.
I smile to myself and turn back to my work. It should be odd, watching this lanky emo guy doing chores on my farm. But somehow he looks perfectly natural carrying a basket of eggs around in his ring-clad hands. By the time I’ve re-tilled the spots that need it, Seb is done feeding everyone and has even filled Jiji’s outdoor water bowl.
“Thanks for taking care of that, babe. You want to start putting the fertilizer down while I take care of the milk and eggs?” I put my hoe back in the tool chest and reach out for the basket.
Seb nods as he hands it to me. “Yeah. These front rows are for the pumpkins, right?” He’s looking a little pink as he tugs on the screw-shaped stud in his right ear.
“Yup. The binder should be in the farm stuff chest if you need a reference.”
I keep an eye on Seb while I put the eggs into the mayo machines. I’m a little worried about him overdoing it like last time. He’s down to a t-shirt even with how cool it is today. But he doesn’t seem to be overheated yet. The fact that he insisted on giving farm work another go has me laughing to myself as I collect the milk from my cows. 
At least now I can kind of guess why he’s choosing to help me with all this manual labor. He loves me. That thought has me shaking my head. I’m trying to believe that it’s true, despite the whispers coming from the shadows of my mind. The way he looks at me when he says it. It has to be true.
It just means he believes it’s true. But eventually he’s going to figure out that it’s not you he loves, it’s the magic. Once he sees how bland and pathetic you are without the magic, he’ll know.
Fuck off. 
I shove the top of the second cheese press down firmly. It’s no question that I love him. Why can’t my brain just fully accept that he loves me? With my animals all taken care of, I head back to the field where Seb is raking the last of the quality fertilizer into the pumpkin plots. Why the hell else would he be doing this?
The toxic bots mumble something about the community center, but they are swiftly shut down by the pragmatic bots. He didn’t know about the community center last time. And it’s not like fertilizing my pumpkins is directly related to any bundles anyway.
“How are you feeling?” I ask as I take the rake from him.
Seb shrugs, wiping a bit of sweat off his forehead. “Definitely not like I’m gonna pass out like last time.”
“Did you enjoy it though?” I put the tools away and check the time. Pierre’s just now opening. Perfect.
“Ehhh.” Seb scratches the back of his neck.
I giggle. “Ok, so that’s a no.”
“I mean if I had to do it again it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world. Feeding the animals was fine.” He follows behind me as I go to water the spots that had to be re-tilled.
“Well then it’s a good thing you don’t have to do any of this.” I finish watering and turn to face him. “I appreciate your help, Seb, I really do. But I’d rather do it all myself than have you be miserable helping me.”
Seb sighs and steps forward. “I’m not sure that miserable is the right word.” He gets a hand on my cheek; still cold, somehow, despite the exertion. “But I think I might be able to help you more effectively in other areas. Like the coding thing I mentioned.”
I smile and lean into his touch. “You know you could just hang around all day and do nothing but watch me work and I wouldn’t care.”
“I know.” He smiles back. “And maybe that’s what I’ll end up doing if that’s the best way I can support you. But I…” His face gets serious for a moment, cheeks flushing a little. “I want to figure out where I fit in here.” He begins to fidget with the ring on his free hand.
It takes a moment for what he’s saying to sink in. He’s already thinking about moving in. It seems fast. But when there’s only one hundred and twelve days in a year, maybe fast isn’t such a bad thing. Besides, I’ve thought about it too. I reach out to grab Seb’s free hand and guide it to lie flat over my left collarbone.
“I think you fit perfectly, right here.” My hand stays on top of his, thumb sweeping over his knuckles.
For a moment I look up into his eyes, trying to convey sincerity while Seb flushes harder in response. But after a few seconds I can’t hold back the wave of cringe that has me grinning and scrunching my nose. Seb laughs and lets his hand travel up to the other side of my face. He angles his head to get around the brim of my hat and plants a kiss on my lips.
“We’re so gross,” I giggle.
“Downright revolting,” Seb mumbles, fighting back a grin as he leans in for another kiss. And another. The outside world begins to fade away and I’ve almost forgotten about Pierre’s entirely when the sound of someone whistling a tune has us pulling apart. I turn around just in time to see Elliott emerging from the path that leads into town.

Seb WIP! (that's all I seem to have nowadays XD) Technically, he's going to be wearing his winter coat outfit in this piece (maybe, I kinda like it as is), but I wanted to play with all the tattoos I've designed for him over the last year or so and went with it. <3

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 25: Sahara Love
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic has some NSFW content in other chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: E - there be smut, but not in the blurb
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 16 k
Notes: This chapter’s title is inspired by this song: https://open.spotify.com/track/6KjTXwntv8paBCL3El9TnV?si=c72bbdc35e4a4382
(Above & Beyond, Zoe Johnston, Seven Lions. "Sahara Love - Seven Lions Remix")
Chapter Warnings: Some mild homophobia (from another villager, not Seb or Charlie), Spice is back on the menu!
Chapter Summary: Seb busts his ass to make things right. Charlie has an interesting experience at the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies. Seb takes Charlie on a ride. Charlie finally figures out how to describe that warm feeling in her chest and that way that Seb always looks at her.
Blurb:
Seb climbs off first, totally steady on his feet as if we haven’t been hurtling down open roads for the last half hour. He holds out a gloved hand to help me dismount.
“How was the ride?” He takes both our helmets and places them on the handlebars.
I take a few shaky steps to try and walk off the adrenaline a bit. “A little scary at first, but kind of fun once I got used to it,” I admit. “Where are we?”
Seb takes a deep breath and exhales slowly. “This is my secret spot. Check it out.” He takes my hand and guides me closer to the cliff edge.
My breath leaves me for a moment as the land below comes into view on the horizon. There before us, looking like a chunk of an alien planet, is a skyline I know all too well.
“Zuzu,” I whisper.
Seb nods. “I come here when I want to get away from everything. When I need to just be on my own and think.”
The toxic bots are doing their damnedest to extrapolate on that statement.
He wants to get away from everything.
Everyone does sometimes.
The crinkle of plastic pulls my attention back to Seb. He pops a piece of his gum in his mouth and looks at me warily.
“So what do you think?”
I take a deep breath. “I dunno. It’s strange seeing it from this distance. Like I’m looking at what my life could’ve been if things had gone differently. It’s sad in a way.”
When I look at Seb again he’s got that unidentifiable look in his eyes again. His cheeks are back to rosy as he smiles softly.
“Y’know it’s funny. That’s exactly how I feel. Strangely sad…”
A few toxic bots murmur at this.
“But also strangely happy too. As much as the city used to draw me in, I find I’m much happier living in the Valley now.”
Another chunk of that mental wall falls away at those words. There’s just one piece left.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 24: Radio Silence
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic has some NSFW content in other chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: M
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Notes: This chapter includes some alternating between Charlie's POV and Seb's.
Chapter Word Count: 15 k
Chapter Warnings: cognitive distortions, anxiety being a lil bitch, ghosting, bad/lack of communication, Sad Times in the Mines, Mines-related violence
Chapter Summary: Charlie and Sebastian try to navigate the first real problem in their relationship
Blurb:
Sebastian POV
I wake up in Charlie’s room with a purring void laying on my chest.
“Hey buddy.” My voice comes out in a rasp. Fuck how long was I out? What even happened? Where’s Charlie?
There’s a glass of water and a note on the bedside table. I move Jiji down to my lap and sit up. The water is still pretty cool. She hasn’t been gone for long. I pick up the note, taking in her somewhat messy handwriting.
Be back soon. Going to bring Sam his birthday present. 
If you wake up while I’m gone, give me a call. We need to talk.
Fuck.  
My heart thuds in my chest. 
That’s right. I fucked up.  
Again .  
I glance out the window. The golden light of the sunset is reflecting off the lake by Charlie’s chicken coop. Has me thinking about our first night together. The way that same golden light had her hair aglow as she laid across the bed with me, her gorgeous features radiating the pleasure I made her feel. How she was so trusting and so willing to open herself up to me.
And what did I do with that trust? Fucking tossed it in the garbage and lit it on fire pretty much. Accused her of lying behind my back when all she’s ever done is be honest, or at least be honest about not being able to be honest. I just had to let my emotions get the better of me. Had to go and do some stupid shit even with her warning me not to.
Jiji sits up and rubs his head against my chest.
“I fucked up, Jiji.”
Meow.
“I don’t deserve her.”
Meow.
“After everything she’s done for me, this is how I repay her?”
Meow.
I keep petting the lil guy for a while, trying to get nice and covered in his fur. The perfect Demetrius repellent. The thought of Demetrius has more memories flashing through my head. Why did him walking away that afternoon trigger me so bad? I try to focus on that memory, replaying it over and over in my head until suddenly the memory changes. 
Now it’s not Demetrius walking away, it’s a taller man with dark hair and olive-toned skin. My father. And he’s not walking up the basement stairs. He’s walking out the front door. I’m tiny and I’m on the floor and Daddy is walking out the door with a suitcase in his hand and a black, wide-brimmed hat on his head.
I gasp as the sensation of a tiny, rough tongue pulls me out of the memory. I can feel my hands trembling and my breathing start to pick up.
Promise me you'll tell me if you feel like that's gonna happen again.
Charlie’s gentle voice echoes in my head. I reach into my pocket and pull out my phone. I should call her.
You don’t deserve her.
I promised though.
Do you want to be even more of a burden on her? After everything that’s happened today?
I set my phone down. Instead I try to replicate the exercise she coached me through last time. I can see the cat on my lap, the rug on the floor, the trees outside, the laces on my boots, and the covers on the bed.
There. That’s better.
See? No need to bother her with your weird brain going haywire. You can manage on your own.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 23: Turbulence
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic has some NSFW content in other chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: M
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer, Maru x Sam, Abigail x Emily, other side ships implied
Chapter Word Count: 8.5 k
Chapter Warnings: arguing, Seb being a little mean, bad reactions to potions, angst
Chapter Summary: Seb makes some questionable choices and Charlie is left to deal with the aftermath.
Blurb:
I'm in the process of collecting maple syrup from the three trees I have tapped when I notice Seb emerging from the mountain trail. My heart rate spikes as I try to decipher his body language. He seems calm. I wave to get his attention.
Seb meanders over, his expression completely neutral.
“Hey.”
“Hi.” I look up at him from under the brim of my straw hat.
His face softens a little as the corners of his mouth quirk up. I try to hold onto that expression as he gets closer.
“You're here early,” I note.
Seb nods. “Yeah. Whatcha up to?”
I raise an eyebrow. “Just collecting syrup from these tappers.”
His brows furrow. “Shouldn't they give you sap that you boil down into syrup?”
This gives me pause. “Huh. Yeah that's how it usually works. Maybe these tappers process the sap too. That would explain why it takes so long for them to produce a bottle.” I scratch my head.
“Hmm.”
“Anyway. We can complete the chef's bundle today after lunch.” I cradle the three bottles of syrup in my arms a bit awkwardly.
Seb sighs and takes one. “I wanna visit the wizard.” He walks towards the front of the house and places the bottle in the chest for community center stuff.
I gulp as that sense of dread pulses through me again. “Are you sure that’s a good idea right now?”
There’s this air about him that’s becoming more emotionally charged as he follows me into the house. Seb just stares at me, his expression hard-set, unwavering. I set the other two bottles down on the counter next to some dry ingredients I’ve set out.
“Look,” I sigh. “I know you probably want to find out more about how your father is connected to all of this, but I just think you should wait until you’ve had more time to think clearly about it.”
His nostril’s flare. “You don’t think I have been?” He scoffs. “You think I didn’t spend every second last night thinking about it?”
I wince at the icy tone he’s using. The toxic bots are eating this shit up.
“Ok. Well, I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to just talk to Magnus.” It’s an effort to keep my voice even. “I have a few more things to do this morning, so we can go after lunch.”
Seb shakes his head. “I’m going now.” He turns and starts heading out the door.
“But-”
“Come with me, or don’t. I don’t give a shit.”
I swallow hard, blinking back tears as I grab my sword and my backpack.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 22: Signs
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic has some NSFW content in other chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: M
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 10 k
Chapter Warnings: None
Chapter Summary: Charlie and Seb get into the rhythm of their new schedules, while continuing to uncover more about the world of magic and how they fit into it.
Blurb:
“I got you something.” I finally look away to reach into my bag.
Seb's eyes glitter as I open my hand to reveal the frozen tear I found. “Whoa. This is…” his fingers are about the same temperature as the stone when he takes it out of my hand.
“I saw you eyeing the one in the community center. Plus I figured it fits your whole edgy vibe.” I smirk.
He's turning it over in his long fingers, watching it sparkle in the fading sunlight. “It's beautiful. I love it, Charlie.”
My smirk widens into a grin. “I'm glad. I would've given you one sooner if I'd realized. They're pretty common down there, maybe I'll get you more.”
Seb clutches the tear in his hand. “I certainly won't complain if you do.” He stares at me and frowns suddenly.
“What?”
“It's just. You reminded me of something Sam said. You're always giving me little presents, but I feel like I hardly ever get you anything.”
“Hmm. You got me the bouquet.”
“That barely counts,” he insists.
I laugh. “Seb, I give you stuff because I like to, not because I'm expecting you to get me stuff in return.”
Seb purses his lips. “I know. But maybe I’d like to get you things sometime.”
I roll my eyes and lean my head on his chest. “I dunno, Seb. I'm not a big ‘things’ person. I like spending time with you. I'd rather go do something fun together.”
He sighs.
“Look if you really want to get me something, get me food. Your cooking is phenomenal.”
“What kind of food?” Seb mumbles into my hair. “What's your favorite?”
“Gods I dunno. I love mac n cheese. And shrimp scampi. Pretty much anything involving potatoes I like.” I sigh as Seb presses a kiss on my head. “I've got a big sweet tooth too. Have to reign it in most of the time so I don't go overboard. Honestly there aren't many foods I don't like.”
“Hmm. Ok. That gives me something to work with at least.” Another kiss on my temple. “When's your birthday by the way?”
“Uh. Fall fourteen. W-why?” A sudden clamor of brain bots has me stuttering.
Seb leans away to look down at me. “Just curious. You okay?”
I take a deep breath. “Yeah. Birthdays are kinda weird for me.”

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 21: Solace*
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic gets NSFW in later chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: E - there be smut but not in the blurb
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 15 k
Chapter Warnings: panic attacks, memories of exploitative parents, spice
Chapter Summary: Charlie has a weird nightmare. People are starting to notice what's up. Seb has a Bad Time™ after speaking with Demetrius.
Blurb:
There in the faint moonlight, surrounded by swirling tendrils of mist and exhaust, is the shadow of a tall, slender figure on a motorcycle. He’s facing away from me, his head obscured by his helmet.
I call out, “Sebastian!”
His head turns slightly to the side but he doesn’t make any move to turn the engine off.
“What’s going on? Where are you going?” The panic is starting to creep up into my voice.
Silence.
“Please can we just talk? I don’t understand.” My face is hot and moisture is starting to blur my vision.
His head turns back to face forward again. He grips the handlebar and bends one leg to put his foot on a pedal. I cringe as he revs the engine again.
“Please don’t leave,” I whimper as tears begin to trickle down my cheeks.
He doesn’t look back. His leg shifts and the engine roars louder and longer as he sets both feet on the footrests and begins to drive off.
My knees hit the ground, a sob rolling through me as despair sinks its claws into my chest, twisting and wrenching and contorting until I’m fully prone, lying in a fetal position as I try and fail to process what’s happening. The surrounding area becomes a blur, then fades to black as my eyes squeeze shut. I flinch as I feel a cold hand touch my bare shoulder.
“Charlie.” A deep, smooth voice speaks in my ear.

Hot Take: Seb is skinny af and he has abs
Do I think Sebastian is ripped? lol No. I think you could count his ribs from ten yards away. But skinny guys can have visible abs, depending on genetics. Just because he's a twig doesn't mean his abdominal muscles don't exist. And if there's little to no body fat between said muscles and the skin layers, they could be visible.
This isn't to say that others aren't allowed to HC Seb as having a flat tummy. Like have whatever HCs you want. I'm just saying it's not unrealistic to imagine him with skinny boi abs.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 20: Is Half the Fun*
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic gets NSFW in later chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: E - there be smut below the cut
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 10 k
Chapter Warnings: This one is pretty raunchy y'all. Nothing overly kinky imo, but definitely dirty. And horny.
Chapter Summary: Charlie runs some errands. Seb comes over for a date night and another sleepover.
Blurb:
When I look up at Seb a shiver rolls down my back. His eyes glitter with lust, the pupils blown wide. His nostrils flare and his bottom lip is caught between his teeth as he stares me down.
I clear my throat. “Do you wanna pick out the movie? I figured we could watch while we eat.”
“You pick.” Seb's voice has shifted to that deep, dark tone that has my pulse racing.
“Alright.” My voice comes out raspy as hell.
I sit down on the sofa to start looking through the options and Seb sits right next to me. Another shiver makes its way through me as he leans in to kiss that spot below my ear.
“What do you say to a little appetizer, hmm?”
I bite my lip to try and hide the smile fighting its way onto my face. Part of me was hoping he'd want to draw this out.
“I'd say that sounds like a great idea. Clothes stay on though.” I put the remote down, hoping whatever random movie I've selected will be a good backdrop to the scene about to unfold.
Seb hums against my jaw as I tilt my head back to give him more access.
“I suppose that's probably wise. Wouldn't want to spoil my dessert.”
I gasp as his teeth catch along the skin at the base of my neck. My hand comes up to bury into his hair, relishing in the moan that comes out of him when I grip hard. Seb pulls away and sits back, cold hand drifting to grip my knee through my sock.
Without even a word, I know what he wants. I brace a hand on the back of the couch and swing my other leg out, up, and over, landing in his lap. We both groan at the feeling of my bare thighs pressing against his denim-clad legs. Seb's hands wander up them and under my skirt to skim over the fabric of my underwear.
“Shit, Charlie. You really dressed up for me, didn't you darling?” He starts kneading my ass cheeks through the silky material, pulling a gasp from my mouth as I pull him in for a kiss.
I mumble, “just for you, babe,” against his lips, catching his responding hum with my tongue.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 19: Anticipation
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic gets NSFW in later chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: E - there be smut below the cut
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 7 k
Chapter Warnings: More spice in this one. Strong dom/sub undertones. You have been warned.
Chapter Summary: Charlie and Seb continue to learn new things about the magic of the valley and each other. Robin and Charlie have a talk.
Blurb:
When I wake up in Sebastian's arms again my thoughts are much the same as they were yesterday. Am I still dreaming? Did all that really happen? Fuck I gotta pee. Like yesterday, I crawl back into bed when I'm done in the bathroom, admiring Sebastian's pale visage as I tangle our limbs together again.
Unlike yesterday, I don't fall back asleep though. My mind is thoroughly awake now that I've been up. So rather than let the brain bots have their way with me just yet, I occupy myself by watching Sebastian sleep.
His face is so peaceful like this, free of worries and mischief alike. There's a longer piece of his fringe grazing his nose that floats into the air every time he breathes out. I reach out to tuck it behind his ear and curse internally as he inhales sharply.
Those beautiful gray eyes blink open and squint at me.
“Hey, sorry didn't mean to wake you.” I smile.
“You creeping on me?” He smirks, pressing a kiss to my hand.
“Can you blame me?” I thread my fingers into his hair and pull him in for a kiss.
“Hmm. I s’pose not. ‘specially when I was doing the same yesterday.”
I breathe a laugh. “Oh really?”
“Can you blame m- umph.” Seb is cut off by a grunt leaving his mouth as I shift the leg that's between his, my thigh brushing against his half-chub.
I raise an eyebrow. “Well good morning to you too.” The feeling of him twitching against me has the embers of yesterday's escapade reigniting.
“Sorry,” Seb chuckles.
“It's ok. It happens.” I smirk. “Do you… want help with that?”
He raises an eyebrow back. “Hmm well if you're offering…” I nod. “Then what kind of fool would I be to turn you down?” Seb leans in for another kiss, taking it deep and hungry almost immediately. “Did you have something in mind?”
I hadn't actually thought about it but now that he's posing the question…
“Yeah.” My cheeks flush and I blink at him shyly. “I wanna taste you.” I trail my hand down to graze over where he's hardening in his boxer briefs. “Will you teach me how?”
Seb groans, hips bucking into my hand as he plants another ravenous kiss on my lips.
“ Fuck , Charlie. Yeah I can do that darling.”
He tosses the covers off both of us and I expect him to sit up against the headboard or swing his legs over the side of the bed. Instead he gently pushes my shoulder so I'm laying on my back and climbs over me.
“Seb,” I giggle in protest, parting my legs to accommodate his bony hips anyway.
“This is part of it, I swear,” He mumbles against my jaw as he begins trailing his lips along it.

Reinventing the Wheel - Ch 18: Collide*
Author: timespaceandfilm
Fic Rating: E - this fic gets NSFW in later chapters, 18+ only
Chapter Rating: E - there be smut (not in the blurb)
Pairings: Sebastian x Female Farmer
Chapter Word Count: 13k
Chapter Warnings: Blood and major Mines-related injuries. Also REAL SPICE. We're talking some habanero mango, spicy sweet shit.
Chapter Summary: Charlie shows Sebastian her secret and things get interesting.
Blurb:
When I wake up at the usual six am my first thought is when did my bed become so comfy? My eyes crack open to find a long pale arm stretched out in front of me. Am I still dreaming?
A puff of warm breath on my neck and the feeling of long fingers splayed against my abdomen has everything coming back to me. Right. The dinner party, the rain, Sebastian crawling into bed behind me.
As if he can hear me thinking about him, Seb stirs against my back. A sleepy hum leaves his lips as the hand that's holding mine grips a little tighter. I want to stay here and bask in this feeling forever. But my bladder has other ideas.
“Seb,” I whisper, pulling my hand from his and tapping his forearm. I hear him breathe in sharply as he wakes.
“What?” He groans, that gravely timbre causing fangirl bot to stir awake.
“I gotta pee.” I start prying his arm away from my waist.
I feel his forehead press into my shoulder. “But, you're so comfy,” he whines.
I laugh quietly. “I'm not gonna be comfy if I piss myself.” I slide out from under his arm. “I'll be back.”
While I'm in the bathroom, a few brain bots hum to life and start nagging. They worry about implications and consequences and maybe I shouldn't go back to bed. Fangirl bot tells them to shut it and for once, I'm with her.
Just let me have this.
I walk back into the room. The sight of Seb asleep in my bed has warmth blooming in my chest. His faintly defined abs expand and contract as he breathes deeply. Some of the longer strands of his dark hair are splayed across his pale cheek bones. His long eyelashes brush against the dark smudges from yesterday's eyeliner.
Will it be worth the pain if he leaves?
A contented sigh leaves his lips as I climb back into bed, facing him this time. I scoot closer, placing my hands against his bare chest. He flinches a little, letting out another hum as one hand wraps around me to rest at the small of my back. The other hand finds its way into my hair. I let my forehead come to rest against his collarbone, closing my eyes as his heart beats steady under my hand.
Absolutely.

People are always like, what if Sebastian's dad was Greek and that's why his hair is dark. And then other people are like, no his dad was Korean/Chinese/Japanese. Well let me present this idea: what if his dad was both?
I like to think his dad was Greek and Chinese for reasons I won't get into right now. Though if you're reading my fic you might find out in like a decade (hyperbolizing).

“Where’d you get that?” Seb points at the ring on my pointer finger.
“Oh this?” I switch my mug to my other hand so I can hold it up for him to see. “Isn't it cool? It's a magnet ring. I got it in return for a favor.”

“It is pretty cool. Who gave it to you?” He turns my hand to the side.
More questions I can't completely answer.
“A friend.” I take another sip of coffee. “Not someone you know.”

“Maybe some day.” I sigh.

“God damnit Samson after everything I've done for you.” I growl as I retract my hand and down my coffee.
