Sebastian patted Brenn's shoulder lightly when he finished, pulling his hands away. He let out a soft breath, moving to lay down a bit.
"You can if you want to leave," he said softly. "You don't have to, though. I don't mind." He really did want to leave the decision to Brenn, the outcome not mattering as much either way.
Brenn wanted to stay, he just didn't want to disrupt Sebastian. But since the other boy said that it was okay, it must be. He moved over to him, sort of laying beside him, curling up slightly into a ball.
Sebastian opened his eyes some, looking over at Brenn. He smiled softly, closing his eyes. He was comfortable, hoping Brenn was too. He gave the man some distance, but he did want to be holding Brenn in his arms. Still, Brenn needed to have some time to himself, and if he didn't want to lay right with Sebastian, that was okay.
Brenn sighed softly, closing his eyes a little bit. In truth he was exhausted, he didn't sleep to much the night before, because he was so worried about Sebastian. Sure the other man did hurt him, but he could still care about him, and try to do whatever he could to help him out. He inched a little closer to ther other man, hoping that maybe Sebastian might let him cuddle with him or something of that nature, he just really wanted to do anything cheer the other man up.
Sebastian felt Brenn move closer, opening his eyes. He smiled softly, opening his arms a bit. He would love to snuggle with Brenn. He tilted his head some, perfectly happy with what they were doing. He was exhausted too, his rest from the night troubled by the dreams he'd had.
"Love you." He mumbled as he feel asleep, his head resting on the other man's chest. And with that, he fell asleep, his arms wrapped around the others boy's body.
Sebastian held Brenn close to himself, smiling softly.
"I love you too…" He rubbed Brenn's back lightly, falling asleep soon after Brenn did.
(timeskip?)
After what seemed like a few miuntes, but was probably a couple of hours later, Brenn woke up again, still in the other man's arms. But this time, he didn't wake up onhis own accord, he could hear someone knocking on the door. He gently shook Sebastian awake, "Sebastian, s-someone's at the door." Had he been in a different situation, he would have gone and answered the door, but for some reason, he wasn't allowed to do so. "Come on, wake up."
Sebastian didn't like Brenn answering the door, not on his own. Who knew how his friends would treat him if Brenn did, not to mention trying to explain the collar. Even if they did say something about it being a kink or something, it would be awkward at best.
Sebastian slowly opened his eyes as Brenn shook him.
"Hmm?" He asked. He rubbed at his eyes, sitting up. He leaned back down to kiss Brenn's head lightly.
"I'll be back in a moment," he said softly. He stood, stretching some as he headed to answer the door.
Brenn sighed, lying back down on the bed. He just waited for the other man to come back so either he could go back to sleep, or he could get up and eat something. He was hungry, and he knew that there were some leftovers from the restaurant the two had gone out to eat at a few days ago.
((Yeah, I legit had an idea, then lost it, idk what to dooooo))
(Aaaaaa have some drama with Fabian? Cops show back up? CC coming to check on them?)
((I know, I had something different in mind, waiiiiiittt, wasn't Seb with someone before he got Brenn?))
(Hnnnnnnnnn I think maybe a fling? Nothing long term)
((Hmm, maybe they come back?))
(Sure, why not. Me or you rp them?)
Sebastian ran his fingers through his hair, humming softly. He opened the door, making sure he wasn't in anything that would be inappropriate for others to see. An eyebrow went up a bit when he didn't recognize the person in front of him, even if they seemed somewhat familiar.
"Can I… help you?" Sebastian asked. "How did you get permission to come here?" his home took up the entirety of the top floor, after all.
"Huh?" The other man said softly, confusion written all over his face, "Y-you gave me a key to get up here." He said just sort of confused, "It's me, Kyle? Remember? I know it's been a while, but I didn't think you'd forget me this easily." He looked down at the ground, feeling very dejected, "I uhm, you haven't returned any of my calls or texts, so I got worried, but each time I would come you wouldn't be here, and no one would ever answer the door."
Shit. That's how the unnamed number had been.
"Ah! Here, come on inside." Sebastian stepped to the side. "I'm sorry, I've just had a lot to do lately and had a lot of work to deal with." Sebastian offered Kyle an apologetic smile, already hoping Brenn was okay with this other man coming in. He'd really meant this to just be a one night fling, but seeing that look on Kyle reminded him so much of Brenn he couldn't help but feel bad.
"Really, I'm sorry for that…"
Brenn heard voices, and figured that it was okay for him to come out. He straightened his slightly wrinkled shirt and fixed his hair which Sebastian in fact had had him grow out, and was near his shoulders. He quietly padded out of the room, with Moose on his shoulder and peeped around the corner seeing who was there. He didn't recognize the man, but figured that if the man had somehow been able to come onto this floor, that he was a friend of Sebastian's. So going off of that, he thought that he ought to do as they normally did, and made his way over to Sebastian, wrapping his arms around the taller boy's waist.
Kyle hadn't noticed the new boy walking in, but when he saw arms wrapping around the other boy, he realized that he was too late. He had at first thought that the thing that had gone on between Sebastian and himself really wasn't anything special, or that it wouldn't last long. But after he had broken up with his boyfriend, he realized how much he missed him, so he decided to try and to talk to him again, but nothing seemed to work. So after a few months of trying to build up his courage, he finally was here talking to Sebastian. Damn it, damn it, damn it. He thought, seeing the smaller boy move to Sebastian's side, his grey eyes gazing up at him, I should've came earlier. .. But then, he noticed something odd. Is that a. . .Oh god, that's a collar. . . He glanced up at Sebastian, worry filling his eyes, What the hell?
Sebastian was a bit surprised by Brenn's arms going around his waist. He looked down, sighing softly and patting the man's arm. He slipped one around Brenn when the smaller man moved to his side, sighing again.
"Kyle, this is Brenn. He's my sub. He met a couple months ago, and well… We saw we were a good match for each other's kinks." Sebastian blushed faintly. He raised one hand, resting it on Brenn's head.
"Brenn, this is Kyle. We…" He didn't really know how to describe the relationship with Kyle.
Oh shit… He's not one of them, This is bad, real bad. Brenn thought with a blush, his cheesk turning a deep shade of red, What do I say to him. What does one even do in a situation like this? Why didn't CC tell me how to deal with stuff like this rather than all the other things. It's not like I'll ever have to use any of that stuff, Sebastian's not into that kind of crap. But still, knowing that if he didn't say anything it would come off as rude, so he forced himself to look at the other man, making eye contact with him. "So nice to meet, Kyle. I don't think Sebastian's mentioned you to me."
"Oh, that's alright. We were friends for a good while, but then we sort of fell out of touch for a bit." That's not a like, actually, it's more honest and factual than it isn't. I mean, we were friends, than we were more than friends, than the communication dropped, and now I'm here. Not a lie at all. He thought with a slight smile, But now that that's been covered, what do I say about this, do I just not comment, and I didn't think that Sebastian would be into that stuff. The man had no clue about Sebastian's true background, he only knew about the cigars nothing more. But had he known the truth, well he would have seen a much different side of Sebastian. "Oh, uhm that's nice. . ." He said, trying to ignore the fact that there was a collar on the boy at all, it was just too weird to think about.
Sebastian had a reason he didn't date friends- this. It got awkward, and potentially dangerous. It had been a one night thing, Sebastian had been drunk and let his emotions get the best of him, and next thing he knew Kyle was attached. Sebastian turned a bit, inviting Kyle further into the home.
"Well, since we're finally able to catch up, would you like something to drink?" He offered like a soft, apologetic smile. He knew this must hurt the other man- he'd always been softer. That's why he's never been let in on the secret.
Kyle shrugged as if to say sure, "Yeah, that's fine." He sighed softly, sort of sad about this. I really just need to learn how to make a move on people, if I really care, I ought to let them know rather than just wait on the sidelines and see if they ever come back. But, as he followed the other two men into the large living room, he watched the two together, and he couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. The two seemed to really care for each other, just by the way that Brenn looked at Sebastian, and the way that Sebastian held him in his arms, That could have been me, I should be the one there next to him, be held in his arms. He muttered a curse or two under his breath, but plastered on a smile when Brenn turned to offer him a seat, "Thank you." He said through gritted teeth, his anger growing and growing. Of course, he wasn't jealous of the fact that the other boy was wearing a collar, that sort of just weirded him out a bit, Why would anyone in their right mind subject themself to something of that nature? That's just. . .Weird? He couldn't really describe it, but he knew that he didn't like it. Perhaps Sebastian's just playing along with it so he could keep the thing around? Who knows? But I doubt Sebastian himself would be into anything like that.
Brenn was sort of oblivious to the whole situation. He still was in the pet mindset CC had forced him into, so when Kyle said that they were friends, and when Sebastian somewhat agreed, he believed them. He never would have guessed that the two were somewhat romantically involved, he never would have fathomed that. Brenn knew how Sebastian was, how he had no time for other people -but somehow time to take care of him- and really wasn't interested in romantic relationships. "What can I get you?" He asked, a happy smile on his face, This person seems nice, a lot nicer than Fabian or any of the others. And if he doesn't know the truth about this, well then he must be a good person. Well, as far as he could tell, the boy was a good person, had he known the other man's thoughts, and jealous feelings, he might not feel the same way. Brenn at that point was seated next to Sebastian, waiting for the other man to respond so he could get him whatever it was he wanted. The other man's arm was still around him, and he leaned into the embrace, gently kissing the man's cheek, oblivious to the rage in the Kyle's eyes.
One would be surprised by just how much Sebastian was okay with the collar- he didn't like that Brenn was forced to wear it, of course, but if someone is into something like that Sebastian was more than willing to do that with them. He wasn't one to judge others for their kinks. Sebastian had sat down with Brenn by his side, arms around the other. He could see the jealousy in Kyle- he wasn't exactly hiding it- but what could he do? As far as like knew, Brenn was his lover, and to be honest Sebastian wasn't so upset with the idea.
He leaned into Brenn's kiss, print his arm more securely around the other man. He looked at Kyle, a warning glance. Brenn was his boyfriend now, there was nothing Kyle could do. He'd best keep himself calm in Sebastian's home. He kissed Brenn's head in turn, running his fingers through the other man's hair.
Kyle understood the look that Sebastian had given him and sighed softly, just trying to hide his disappointment at this point. He was still angry, no he was frious, but he didn't want to make a scene, Sebastian seemed happy, at least he figured. This really sucks. . .I mean, at least he's happy. I guess I should be happy for him. But deep down, he really wasn't, not at all. In fact, although he was trying to convince himself to be happy for the two, he really wasn't. He'd work things out later, maybe he'd figure something out to finally get Sebastian back, or Brenn away from him. "Uhm, a water would great, thank you." He said flashing a smile at the other boy.
Brenn had made himself comfortable in Sebastian's arms, resting against him. He sort of figured at this point that if Sebastian had mentioned the collar, and given the answer of it being a kink -which really was the only answer that would work-figured that Sebastian was sort of alluding to the other man that they were in a relationship of sorts, or something like that. Eh, I guess that makes sense, it would be weird for me to be at his house and being wearing the collar for absolutely no reason, that just would make everyone feel uncomfortable, I mean, at least I would feel uncomfortable. But I'm also weird about this stuff, but whatever. He playfully swatted at Sebastian's hand, "Sebbb, stop, you know I don't like that." His voice was sort of quiet, not like a whisper but not too loud. "Okay." He said in response to what the other man said, and he started to get up, sort of wrestling against Sebastian's who's arms were still around him.
"But it's so sooooft," Sebastian said in turn. He laughed lightly, kissing the man. He realized after a moment he still had his arms around Brenn, letting go of the man. He looked to like as Brenn left.
"Look," he said softly. "Brenn and I really are happy together. I'm sorry you had to find out love this, though. Can we still be friends, though?" Sebastian really did like Kyle, just… Not really that way.
Brenn playfully grumbled a little bit, walking over to the kitchen and getting some glasses together. It had been a good while since the two had actually teased each other, or anything of that nature, after the whole CC thing. And Brenn found that he missed it quite a bit. And more and more he was getting annoyed and sort of just frustrated with the need to keep up the whole pet act. The whole thing wasn't fake, CC had forced him to think and behave that way, and he believed that that was how he was supposed to be, but seeing the way Sebastian treated him made him think otherwise. He treats like I'm an equal, to a degree. He thought with a shudder, thinking of the night before, And I guess I should appreciate that. He gently placed the glasses of the different drinks onto a tray - the water that Kyle had requested, a glass of wine for Sebastian, and just some tea for Brenn, he loved his hot drinks- and walked back into the living room, setting the tray on the coffee table, then sitting back down next to Sebastian.
Kyle sighed, with a shrug "Yeah, it's fine, I guess." He wasn't exactly happy with that, but again, he'd find a way to get back what he felt was his. "Oh thank you Brenn." He said with a smile at the other man, reaching for the glass of water. "I appreciate it."
Sebastian enjoyed it when Brenn and he could just… Be. Just have fun, and laugh, and have a good time together. It was much better than what they had been doing recently. He hummed softly, smiling at Brenn when he came back. He saw the wine, knowing it was for himself, but he wasn't going to touch it. Not yet, not after that had happened last time. He hummed some, wrapping his arms back around Brenn with a soft smile.
"Thank you," he said, letting out another happy hum.
