Fantastic question )

(sure
How far are we skipping? And just for future reference, approximately how long will it take for them to get to a cheek-kissing stage?)

(A couple weeks, maybe?
I forgot how long they’ve known each other… Maybe 6-8 months?)

They've known each other since, what, October?)

(yeah
ooooh can we skip to Valentine's Day? Is Dev ready to make the relationship official?)

(Yessssssss
She's been hinting at that for a while. Lol.)

(lol yeah
Seb's super cautious though he won't do anything unless she says it outright)

(Valentine's Day, ig
not it)

(Lol. We already established that I was going first, anyway…)

Devon sighed as she stepped out of work around three o'clock, a warm cup of coffee in her hands. The cold February air nipped at her nose and cheeks as she walked toward her car. She sipped on her steaming drink and glanced around a little, making sure that she wouldn't run into anyone when she looked back down at the ground.

(sorry)

Sebastian sped up a little as he caught sight of the familiar coffee shop up ahead, anxiously adjusting the petals on one of the roses in the huge bouquet he currently held in one hand. He had bought it this morning in order for it to be as fresh as possible, after sending Devon a 'Happy Valentine's Day' text…… along with a heart emoji.

Heart racing, he caught sight of her up ahead and broke out into a light jog, his face lighting up.

Devon’s eyes lighted on Sebastian as she glanced around, and a wide grin split her features. She hurried her pace slightly and took another drink of her coffee before she reached him.

“Seb! Hey, I was just about to head home. You’ve got impeccable timing,” she joked with a chuckle.

“Happy Valentine’s Day!” he greeted with a huge, adorably dorky grin as he held the huge bouquet out to her.

Devon blinked in surprise. She’d completely forgotten about the holiday, so seeing the bouquet and hearing his words came as a small shock. Especially the flowers.

“Oh my gosh… Sebastian,” she breathed as she took the flowers in her free hand. “Thank you. I— I totally forgot what day it was. I’m afraid I don’t have anything for you…”

"Devon, don't worry about it." Even her name tasted sweet on his tongue. "Can I hug you?"

“Um…” Devon glanced down at her two full hands before grimacing slightly and looking up at him again. “I would say ‘yes’, but I have a small problem.”

Laughing at himself, Sebastian gently tugged her handbag from her grip, set it down on the sidewalk, and pulled her into a warm embrace.

(Coffee and flowers are in her hands. Lol.)

Devon sighed and relaxed into the embrace. “Thank you,” she breathed, letting her head rest on his chest. “This means a lot to me.”

(Yeah but now that her bag is out of the way he can move her arms to the side and hug her)

Sebastian pressed a fond kiss to the top of her head, hugging her close. “I’ll do it anytime.”

(Lol. Okay. That makes sense.)

“I can’t remember the last time I got flowers,” Devon whispered, wishing she could set her other things down so that she could hug him back.

Sebastian took a step away and released her, slipping his hands into his pockets. "Once I've sorted out my credit card dilemma, you'll be getting them as often as I can pay without cash."

Devon blushed a little, smiling down at the flowers in her hand. They really were beautiful, and she did love flowers…

“You don’t have to do that, Seb. Really,” she said softly, looking up at him.

"I don't," Sebastian agreed, "But I want to. So I will."

Devon’s smile grew as she looked at him. “Then, thank you. It means a lot to me… Um. I was just about to head home, but you could come over if you want?”

"Sure!" Sebastian nodded happily. "I can do that. I can definitely do that. How's Layla?"

“Layla’s great,” Devon answered with a small grin. “I think she’s gotten taller. It’s crazy how fast that girl grows.”

"Babies are like that, I guess." Giving a little shrug, he held out his hand to her. "Here, let me carry some of your stuff."
