(pronouns in here are he/they)

Sebastian always knew he'd been into boys.

It wasn't as if Robin didn't know either.

She didn't seem to mind when he'd come out to her considering she herself had been into girls but left unlabelled, but that didn't stop him from sobbing into her arms late that night.

Though he'd questioned his sexuality countless of times through puberty, he'd finally settled for bisexual.

It was just so right, so fitting for him.

He'd been born that way, and it was one of the few parts of him that he'd come to like, even when there was a time he despised and hated himself for being such a 'freak'

Even when knowing his sexuality well, Sebastian had never actually liked anyone romantically-

"Hey, you listening?" The farmers voice called out softly.

Sebastian looked up from his keyboard at the shorter boy who stood just over him and his chair.

"Uh.. I-" Sebastian uttered, nervous to how close he was to the boy.

"S-sorry no.." he muttered quietly, turning his gaze back to his screen.

Guilt loomed over him as he's forgotten Y/n was speaking to him at that time, only focused on his own thoughts.

"I was just saying, if you went into the mines and got back with just a scratch from a rock crab, I'd say that's really big luck" Y/n said with a grin.

Seb hummed, feeling his face flush when they'd rested his chin on his shoulder, staring at the screen curiously.

He could feel their breath run down his neck, going further into his hoodie.

Seb knew it wasn't there but it he swore he'd felt Y/n's arms wrap beneath his hoodie from his shoulders, leading down to his chest just with the breath of his friend.

He'd pushed the thought and feeling away and glanced over to the farmer.

Y/n stared back and smiled.

"You wanna go to the movies with me later?" The farmer asked.

"Y-you mean to the theatre you had fixed?" Sebastian questioned, his face heating up at the suggestion.

It wasn't a date was it?

"Yeah! Me and you! We could get popcorn and everything!"

The farmer spoke with animated expressions, walking around Sebastians room with his hands intertwined behind his back.

"Uh- um.. y-yeah, what time?" Sebastian stuttered, mentally cursing at himself for his pathetic delivery.

"8:30! The movie goes on for at least two hours so it'll be late if that's okay.. I know you like it when it's darker and secluded outside" They said with a soft smile painted on his face.

It was calming knowing Y/n was kind enough to consider his feelings and yet Sebastian was still a mess.

Y/n didn't ask you on a date, they just want to hang out..

Seb thought to himself, yet again digging himself into a hole of his own self pity and anger.

He'd never like you.

"Hey Seb!"

Sebastian stared over to Y/n, walking with a hand over his head to wave at him.

Despite his usual farmer attire, Y/n wore an oversized f/c opened button up over a black shirt, one side of the shirt tucked into a pair of comfy baggy pants.

He wore a choker, two other necklaces and many rings to accent the choice of clothing.

Even when his casual wear was comfy looking, Y/n never failed to look good.

"H-hey.." Sebastian muttered, feeling his face heat up.

"Heyy!" Just as Y/n was about to speak, Maru popped up behind him with Penny.

Sebastian's stomach dropped and suddenly he felt irritated with his younger half sibling.

"They're not coming with us don't worry, they'll be watching something else" Y/n whispered as he neared the emo, grinning at him with a wink.

Seb nodded sheepishly and his palms began to sweat.

Maru was walking in front of the two, holding Penny's hand.

Should he hold Y/n's hand?

Wait no! His palms were too gross and slippery now!

Mentally, Sebastian face palmed and screamed at himself in anger as his stupid young adult hormones began spiralling, causing his glands to sweat far more than before.

As they neared the glass doors, Sebastian felt an arm wrap around his.

His eyes widened slightly, turning to look at

Y/n who was smiling at him with great care, letting the doors in front of them close as Maru and Penny left them alone.

"Hey, relax Seb.. you don't have to be so anxious around me ok?" He reminded him with a sheepish grin, a faint red scattered over his cheeks.

Sebastian stared, bewildered with how observant Y/n really was.

He always knew they were easily intrigued into others lives, but he couldn't specify just how strong his speculations were to know how someone was feeling just by their body language and expressions...

Sebastian took a second to recollect himself and his wavering thoughts, breathing in and out once before letting his muscles relax.

He gave Y/n a firm nod and smile, the farmer sending a proud one back.

"So what movie are we watching?"

________

"That was great.." Sebastian sighed with satisfaction as they stopped at the farm.

Y/n snickered softly, reminiscing on the times they were told to be quieter after laughing at certain scenes that were meant to be sad.

"Yeah, it really was... thanks for the great first date Seb" He laughed, turning to give him the spare bag of M&M's they'd forgotten to eat.

As Sebastian reached for the small bag, his body and arm stilled mid air.

"I-It was a date?" He breathed out, his cheeks glowing a bright red that Y/n could mistake for some kind of glowing tomato he's grown on the farm.

"I-it wasn't..?" The farmer whispered suddenly, his shoulders dropping with shock.

Sebastian could see the frown form on his face too clearly for his liking.

He thought it was a date...

"NO! NO! IT WAS A DATE! IT WAS A DATE! THANK YOU UH..." Sebastian yelled out as he snatched the chocolates out of his hands.

He frantically searched for the correct words to put into a sentence that wouldn't make him look like an idiot.

He scratched the back of his head, staring as

Y/n's eyes seemed to glow the more his face did.

"Uhm.. thank you- really.. I- I just didn't know wether you were into guys..." Seb muttered awkwardly, fingers clutching onto the fabric of his hoodie.

There was a long silence that followed his weak confession and suddenly Sebastian had wanted to disappear.

"Really?" Y/n questioned, leaning on the fence of his porch.

Sebastian looked up in surprise as he listened to the unimpressed tone of his voice.

"I come to our date wearing this, and you think I'm straight?" He sneered at him, gesturing his hands to the outfit they'd been wearing that day.

Sebastian gawked at them for a moment before bursting out into a fit of his own stifled laughter.

"I guess you're right..." he sighed.

Y/n smiled softly, brows furrowed as his mind began mentally capturing the scene in front of him to remember Sebastian's smile later on.

"Then I'll see you tomorrow?" Seb asked, hands stuffing the chocolates into his hoodie pockets.

"Yeah, I'll see you tomorrow..." Y/n grinned.

Sebastian left once they'd closed the door, waiting till he's reached the point of the mountain path where no one would be able to see him aggressively jumping up and down with his hands still buried in his pockets.

He took a moment and punched the mountain face, hitting his head repeatedly against a nearby tree as he celebrated his first date with Y/n.

Although he was practically sweating ass that entire night, it suddenly felt like all his awkward little moments didn't matter anymore...

Only Y/n....
