(Thought?)
He chuckled softly, scooping her back into his gentle embrace.
Heal This Broken Heart [Private // Closed]

(The side hug thing. Skip?)
(Oh lol sorry
Yeah sure, to when they get to her place?)
group
(That sounds good! Do you want to start or should I?)
(Would you mind? Sorry I’m sort of multitasking rn)
(Wait no you are too
I can, it’s fine)
group
(Lol. No, we’re watching a movie, it’s fine!)
They pulled up at Devon’s apartment, Sebastian still holding a very sleepy Layla in his lap, giving her little nose kisses every now and then.
(Lol. No, we’re watching a movie, it’s fine!)
Oof sorry I did it again
group
(Aw, Sebs~!
Lol. That’s okay.)
“All right… We’re here,” Devon said softly as she parked. She turned to face the two next to her, and her heart melted at the sight. Gosh, why did guys with kids have to be so cute?
(Oof)
Sebastian stroked Layla’s hair, glancing over at Devon. “Do you want me to come up, or just get out here?”
group
Devon smiled at him. “You can come up if you’d like. You can help me put Layla to bed.”
“Sure,” he replied, happiness flooding his features. They got out of the car, Sebastian bouncing the baby up and down.
group
Devon chuckled softly and led them up to the apartment. “If you can get her to sleep without her fussing, I will be incredibly grateful.”
“I’m on it,” he promised, gently rocking Layla back and forth. “Her room is here, right?”
group
“Mmhm. Just set her in the bed. She might cry, though, just to warn you,” Devon said softly.
"Got it." Sebastian tossed her a comforting smile and pushed the door open. The room was nice, simple and sweet, giving off a homey, cozy sort of aura that he immediately liked. "Shhh…" he murmured soothingly to Layla, setting her down in the bed.
group
Layla whimpered a bit and reached up for him. “Nooo…” she whined softly.
He picked her back up again, heart melting for the tiny girl, who he held in his arms and rocked gently. "Hey, it's okay… I'm right here… Remember the sun? The sun went to sleep, so now you should sleep too. When you sleep, you see the sun," He kissed her nose. "In your dream. Do you want to do that?"
group
“See the sun? In… my dream?” the toddler murmured tiredly. “Yeah…”
"Mm…" he murmured, brushing a kiss across her forehead. "Twinkle, twinkle, little star…" And he stood there, rocking her back and forth while he sang her to sleep, a tender, unguarded expression softening his features.
(could Devon be watching him the whole time?)
group
(She definitely has been. Lol.)
Devon leaned against the doorframe as she watched the whole scene. A soft look was in her face, and she smiled at them. This was just too cute. How was he so good with her?
Layla yawned and stretched a bit. Her eyelids fell shut as she was laid back in her bed, and she was out soon after.
(XD)
Layla drifted off before long, and Sebastian carefully lowered her onto her bed, pulling the blanket up to her chin. Smiling softly to himself, he turned– only to see Devon, standing there. Cheeks flushing pink, he slipped past her, leaving the peaceful atmosphere of the room behind. "You were watching that whole thing, weren't you?"
group
“Well… Yes, I was,” Devon admitted softly as she followed him out, worry creasing her brow. “But it’s not like you did anything wrong. If anything, you did it all exactly right.”
He gave a flustered smile, biting the inside of his cheek. "I did? Really?"
group
Devon gave him a small, encouraging smile as she nodded affirmation. “Yeah. You did great… I— Thank you for doing that.”
"It was no problem," he assured, running a hand through his hair. "She's really sweet, it was actually enjoyable."
group
“Well, I’m glad you enjoyed it. She can be a handful sometimes, but she’s really just a sweetheart. Which I’m sure you’ve noticed,” Devon said with a light chuckle.
"You're telling me?" Sebastian joked, slipping his hands into his pockets. "Yeah, she's adorable. Like I said, takes after her mother."
group
Devon rolled her eyes as she blushed. “I’m not adorable,” she mumbled under her breath, glancing away from him.
