Sebastian wasn't usually the jealous type. He kept his feelings to himself, pretending things didn't bother him.
But lately, he had noticed another villager spending a lot of time with you. They laughed with you at festivals, walked with you through town, and always seemed eager to be near you.
Sebastian told himself it didn't matter.
It did.
One rainy evening, he found you standing outside, watching the storm roll over Pelican Town. The soft sound of rain filled the silence between you.
"You've been acting weird lately." You said with a small smile.
Sebastian rubbed the back of his neck and looked away. For a moment, he seemed unsure of what to say.
Then he stepped closer.
"I don't like seeing someone else trying to get your attention." He admitted quietly.
Your heart skipped a beat. His eyes met yours, filled with a rare vulnerability.
"Because..." He hesitated before gently taking your hand. "Because I want to be the one beside you."
The rain continued to fall around you. Sebastian's grip tightened slightly as a faint blush appeared on his face.Then, with a soft smile meant only for you, he leaned closer and whispered one word.
"Mine."
And for the first time, neither of you looked away. ππ§οΈ
