My Atypical Wolf (BL)

Chapter 278: Future?

Christian noticed the way Sebastian was dressed, in a formal wear that was not too formal. A blazer over a plain shirt gave him a pretty decent look. Christian would take his time admiring his... boyfriend if things weren’t a bit awkward right now. Not just due to the earlier question, but also because of the presence of the relatives.

On his way here he did hear the intrusive questions his aunt started to ask, which made him feel bad for Sebastian. Christian tried to link Sebastian and when he was allowed, the first thing Christian said was, [I am sorry about my aunt] 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

[Just that? I have been trying to link you, you didn’t respond] Sebastian pointed out.

[I was... changing] Christian excused. He wasn’t. He was a bit pissed from earlier, but that is what came in his head the very first thing.

[Right, cause you got stuff to hide] Sebastian, who was on the edge already due to all the questions snapped.

Before their mental banter could proceed further, their aunt Rosette intervened, “So, tell me what do you do? You know, to masquerade as a human?”

“I am an actor,” Sebastian declared flatly.

.....

“Acting... must be tough keeping a facade in front of the lens,” Aunt Rosette declared. “Did you ever consider pursuing something else”?

“I like working where I am, so no,” Sebastian declared. At this point he was simply fighting an urge to punch the women. “Can you excuse me for a second, I need to take a minute” He declared and headed out. Thankfully, the way to the men’s room and the main door was in the same direction from the living room. Christian who was done with his aunt, ran after Sebastian.

“Sebastian! Seb!” Christian called out to Sebastian as he stormed out of the building, “Seb!!” Finally, Sebastian halted right in front of the main gate of the house, outside the fence.

“You could have warned me about her,” Sebastian snapped.

“I know, I am sorry. I forgot how irritating she can be” Christian mumbled. “Do you have to leave?”

“What?”! Sebastian huffed. “No, I am not gonna leave. She doesn’t think I am worthy enough, I don’t wanna give her another excuse by running away before dinner.” He huffed.

“Why does her words bother you so much? I mean, you are an actor right? You must be used to all kinds of opinions.” Christian mumbled, “You know what, she doesn’t live here. Just ignore her, she can be a bit... provoking at times” Christian explained.

“But she is not wrong,” Sebastian sighed. “I mean, earlier today you asked me what my plans for the future were, and I chickened out. I mean, that’s not how you do it in relationships” Sebastian declared.

“Well, I did ask you out of the blue” Christian mumbled, and tried to stand exactly in front of Sebastian’s face. “Look, we are not young people, or choices have bigger consequences, and... I get it, it’s hard making a decision like this.”

“So will you be okay if someday I decide that all of this is not worth it? That I can’t be the Luna of this pack?” Sebastian mumbled.

“Of course not,” Christian mumbled. “I will be pretty heartbroken.” he admitted honestly”

“I don’t want that,” Sebastian mumbled.

“So what? You wanna break up? Now”? Christian snapped.

“No,” Sebastian whispered. “I know, that’s selfish, but I don’t wanna give up on us.”

“Then screw everything else” Christian huffed as he let out a sigh of relief.

“No,” Sebastian shook his head after a while. “I can’t do that. Look, you are one of the most responsible people I have ever met. I mean, the word literally describes you. I don’t wanna keep you hanging like that”

“Sebastian, where are you going with this’? Christian sighed. “I am confused” he declared honestly.

After a whole minute of awkward silence, Sebastian mumbled “I wanna do it.” .”It”? Christian raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

“I will be the Luna” Sebastian declared.

“What”? Christian’s eyes widened. It somehow felt worse than what he was imagining, “Dude, you don’t have to decide right this instance. I mean, we are just getting started. We don’t know if we are compatible enough or-” 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

His rant was interrupted by Sebastian, “Chris, we have known each other for more than a decade. Despite our rocky start, look at us now. We are dating. I mean sure I was cranky at you busy earlier, but now that I think about it, if I am out there doing my job, filming shows, I will be busy too. Yes, I will miss you, but I think our jobs are meant to keep us busy” Sebastian mumbled.

“You sure about this?” Christian asked carefully, “Like really really sure?”

“Yea! I am done being scared of the future. I wanna take a leap of faith, or whatever” Sebastian shrugged and before he could say anything else he was pulled into a deep long kiss which somehow cleared all the chaos going on in his mind.

Pulling away Christian mumbled, “You scared the crap outta me, you know that?”

“What can I say?” Sebastian smirked, “part of my charm.”

Christian raised an eyebrow before he ended up laughing softly, “Well, since you have already decided, I might as well pop the question.” Christian smirked, whilst Sebastian put up a frown. “Sebastian Kyles...” Sebastian’s frown turned into an anxious stare, “Will you be my mate”?

A smile curved up from Sebastian’s lips before he said, “Why the hell not”? And this time it was him who pulled him in for the kiss. Sebastian made sure he kissed his ‘mate’ for longer this time, so much so that Christian had a hard time pulling away before things escalated.

“Calm down, cowboy. We have a dinner to attend to. If you wanna do the whole ‘process’, you gonna have to wait” Christian smirked. “And maybe pretend to like my aunt and the rest of my family.”

Sebastian pretended to think for a moment, “You know what.. I am good at pretending, you know, since I am an actor” Sebastian smirked. Christian shook his head before leading the man back to their house for the rest of the night.
