(That’s sounds like Devastation Lol)

Sebastian had to take a second and remind himself that no, he was not dreaming, and yes, this was actually happening. “I- I definitely want.”

(Of course you do, Seb! 😏)

(Lol. So… Is that a Yay or a Nay to Devastion?)

“Okay. So… Was there anything you wanted to ask me?” Devon wondered, fidgeting with her fingers.

@blue_topaz

(Hell Yeah)

Sebastian opened his mouth to speak, then shut it again, then opened it, then shut it. Finally, he cleared his throat awkwardly. “Do you- do you want to go for dinner soon?”

(Most definitely yes.)

(Lol. Cool!)

Devon chuckled a bit at his fish-like gaping. She nodded her head slowly, a light blush appearing in her cheeks. “I would love that. When are you free?”

@blue_topaz

She said yes. Sebastian’s face was roughly the same hue as a tomato at this point because— she said yes. “I- I’m free tomorrow night. You?”

“Um… I might be able to get a sitter for Layla… If I can, then I believe I’m free,” Devon said, smiling up at him.

@blue_topaz

Sebastian nodded, grinning ridiculously widely. “Sounds like a plan.”

Devon’s smile widened into a small grin. “Cool. Um… What time, though? And are you picking me up or will we meet somewhere?”

@blue_topaz

“I… don’t have a car,” he admitted quietly. “I take public transit everywhere. Can’t afford otherwise. So it’s probably a better idea that we meet there— as much as I’d like to pick you up. Does 6:30 work?” He hesitated, a question on the tip of his tongue.

(What’s his question, though???)

Devon thought for a moment. She would get off of work at four, so that would give her some time to get ready. “That would work. Do you have somewhere in mind that you wanted to go to?”

@blue_topaz

(Lol I’ll ask it right now. It’s not that big)

Sebastian pondered it for a moment. “I- I don’t go out much, is there anywhere you know? There’s a nice steakhouse sort of near here.” Again, he hesitated, before speaking up again. “Just- What are your boundaries? I don’t want to make you uncomfortable, or accidentally overstep..”

Devon’s mouth formed a small “o” at his question. No one ever asked her that, they all just assumed she was fine with whatever.

”It has been almost four years, after all,” they would say. ”You should be fine by now.”

“Oh… Well, I don’t really like to be touched, which I’m sure you’ve noticed by now. And… Um, I guess just ask me if something is okay? I’ve gotten a lot better with being touched lately—“ Mostly thanks to you. “but it’s still nice to be asked, you know?”

(PEOPLE, TIME DOES NOT MATTER WHEN TRAUMA JS INVOLVED.)

@blue_topaz

(PREACH)

“Yeah, I completely understand,” he said sincerely, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’ll be really careful, I promise. And please don’t hesitate to tell me if I’m making you uncomfortable.”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Devon gave him a small smile and nodded. “And you don’t have to be afraid to ask. If I say no, it’s not anything you’ve done, it just means that I’m not ready yet,” she said softly.

(So is Layla going to call Bahstin her dad now? :3)

@Imperfect_Autumn group

(Oof. Lol. Probably not yet.)

@blue_topaz

(Lmao)

Sebastian nodded, evidently relieved. “I- thank you. I just.. I’ve never actually done this before. So, sorry if I’m nervous.”

@Imperfect_Autumn group

Devon blinked at him, raising her eyebrows slightly. “Oh. You haven’t? You’ve never… dated before?” she wondered, surprised. Surely someone would have wanted to date you…

@blue_topaz

Sebastian shook his head, shame practically written across his features. “Who would have wanted to date me? I wasn’t.. desirable.”

(YES YOU ARE.)

“I would have,” Devon said before she could stop herself. She blushed deeply and looked at the ground. Gosh, why did her mouth have to work before her brain did sometimes?

@blue_topaz

(Lol)

Sebastian paused, his heart stumbling over a few beats in a row. “I— oh.”

(Lol, you guys.)

Devon's blush didn't fall for a while. "Sorry… Sometimes my mouth gets ahead of my mind," she mumbled.

@blue_topaz

(Hehe)

“Don’t- Don’t apologize,” he managed, using the key phrase that had begun all of this. “I don’t mind.”
