“Hm?” Sebastian hummed in response for the hundredth time in the two hours you guys have been lying on the couch.

He was lying down with his upper back supported up by the arm rest. Sebastian had you lying on top of him with his chest behind your back. Right now, it was well past midnight and he managed to convince you to stay up with him researching a cure for Anne.

Sebastian could’ve asked Ominis instead, of course. But why would he pass up the opportunity to spend some more time with his new charge? Something about you was very enticing to him. Besides the fact you held power to an ancient magic, you were brilliant. Smart, funny, loyal, kind.

“You’re tilting the book, love.” Sebastian murmured, not taking his eyes off the book in front of him that you were holding up. One hand held his wand that illuminated a light on the tip so you guys could see while the other hand rested on the top of the couch.
