Sebastian had been noticing it for weeks. The subtle glances between you and Ominis when you thought no one was watching, the soft touches, the laughter shared in private moments—everything. He didn’t want to admit it to himself, but every time he saw the two of you, something twisted in his chest. It wasn’t jealousy, he told himself. No, it was… frustration. He was frustrated that you were slipping away, that someone else was getting close to you, someone he had never imagined would steal your attention.
But now, as you walk into the Undercroft, there’s no avoiding it. His voice cuts through the air, harsher than usual.
“So, what’s going on between you and Ominis?” Sebastian’s eyes lock onto yours, dark with an emotion he doesn’t quite know how to control. His posture is stiff, almost aggressive. He stands in your way, blocking your path, as if daring you to deny it.
