(Oh cool)
“Mm…. getting slightly warmer…” He sipped his drink, grinning.

“Tobias… Titus… Timothy?” Devon guesses again, meaning the last name she had said.
Sebastian blinked, surprised. “Timothy. You got it right— but Titus?”
group
Devon shrugged, blushing a little. “There‘s a kid in Layla’s daycare named Titus. It’s not such a strange name.”
Sebastian raised a dubious eyebrow. “Whatever you say….. alright, now it’s my turn. Elizabeth? Anna?”
Oh frick I got it right, I’d forgotten her middle name)
group
(Lol.)
“It’s actually Elizabeth. Nice job, Seb,” Devon said with a light laugh.
Sebastian blinked several times. “Really? Woah, I got it right.”
group
“Mmhm. So… How have you been?” Devon asked, taking a bite of her muffin.
“Better,” he answered, “I’ve been able to take less time working at the garage now that I’ve got these musical gigs. You?”
group
Devon nodded slowly as she finished her bite. "I've been good. Layla keeps learning new words. She can almost form complete sentences now."
“That’s great!” Sebastian’s heart warmed at the thought of the little girl.
group
"And she loves her 'Bahstin' doll," Devon chuckled, glancing over to see his reaction. The child was almost never seen without the baby doll she had named after the man.
He reddened considerably, ducking his head. “Oh…. well, I’m glad the name is of value to her.”
group
Me, too…
"Mmhm… She does love it," Devon said softly, smiling at his now-red cheeks. "She's almost never without it."
Sebastian brought a hand up to touch his flushed cheeks, biting his lip. When flustered, he had the tendency to look incredibly endearing without realizing, and now more than ever. "That's– good. Yeah."
group
Gosh, why does he have to be so cute? Devon wondered to herself as she glanced away, felling her own cheeks heating up at the thought. She cleared her throat and blinked, glancing around. It was a pretty nice day out for February, though the cold still nipped at her nose and cheeks. Maybe that would help disguise her slight blush…
Sebastian swallowed again. "You know…. you look really pretty when your cheeks and nose are red from the cold."
group
Devon quickly blinked a few times, her blush deepening. "O-oh? Um… Well, thanks… You too… Not– Not pretty. Gosh… Cute? I guess? Um…"
"Thanks– I didn't mean that– Obviously, you look pretty all the time I just meant that– You know, with the–" Sebastian gave up before he melted into a small (and very cold) flustered puddle on the sidewalk.
group
(You two are so awkward, it’s almost painful.)
“I figured,” Devon said with a soft, still flustered chuckle. “But thank you.”
(I'm not sure if you're talking to me and Sebastian [Sebastian and I?] or Devon and Sebastian, but either way, I agree)
"No problem." Finished with his bagel, Sebastian dared to reach for her hand again.
group
(Lol. Not you. 😂 Devastian.)
Devon glanced down at popped the last bite of her muffin into her mouth before taking his hand. She looked over at him with a smile and gave his hand a small squeeze.
(lmao either one works)
Sebastian's heart fluttered, a shy smile softening his expression. He squeezed back, too busy exploring the depths of her beautiful eyes to speak aloud.
group
(You're not awkward to me, but sure. Lol.)
Devon felt her breath catch in her throat as he looked into her eyes, giving her the chance to examine his amber ones. They sparkled in the soft light coming through the clouds, and her smile grew slightly as she noticed it.
(it's easier to be non-awkward online XD)
And, god, did Sebastian want to kiss her right then and there. But of course he would never do so unless she expressed explicit consent, and he knew it was much too early in their delicate relationship. "What're you thinking about?" he asked instead, mumbling slightly.
group
(Lol. And yet I still manage it! 😂)
Devon tilted her head slightly as she continued to observe the way the light danced across his eyes.
"You have really nice eyes," she said softly, hardly thinking about what she was saying.
(lol
but you're not really awkward online from my point of view)
"I—" He choked on whatever he was going to say next, the blush returning full-force to his cheeks. "I was just thinking the same thing about you.."
group
(Oh. Lol. Well, I feel awkward sometimes.)
Devon blinked at his words as if they shook her out of her thoughts. Heat rushed to her cheeks, turning them a bright pink once more. "Oh… Um, thank you," she said quietly.
(Oof)
Sebastian couldn’t hold back his smile, however large and ridiculous. “No need to thank me for stating facts.”
