Sebastian Sallow x Reader Collection

Locked In

You smiled as he pulled you along, threading your fingers through his for a more comfortable grip. You attempted to be cautious, but really all you were in was a narrow tunnel that didn't seem too intimidating.

As you both took in the scene you finally made your way to the end of the hall where an old, ricket door was just hanging open.

"Alright, Sebastian. Go tell me what your treasure is."

His face dropped as you halted your steps, not keen on entering the dark room.

"Come on, I'll just be twice as disappointed if I open some rubbish chest without you. Are you scared?" he teased you.

You dropped his hand, crossing your arms.

"It looks creepy. This hallway was lit well enough, but I do not just wander into dark rooms."

He looked at you with a pout on his face, "I guess we're not going anywhere then until you're willing to come with me."

"You are 18 years old, Sebastian."

"So are you, and you're afraid of the dark?!"

He reached out to you, tugging on your robes until you reluctantly stumbled past the door with him. The door swung closed behind you as you both tried and failed to cast lumos.

You both jumped in surprise and the second you went to pull on the handle it just fell off in your hands. You took a deep breath and shut your eyes, trying to not think about how much you wanted to kill Sebastian. You could hear him frantically trying to cast a spell, but no light ever appeared.

"Y/N..." his voice was quiet and feeble as he realized the mistake he had made.

"Sebastian. The door is locked."

You slowly turned around to face him, only the broad outline of his figure visible in the dark.

"You just got us —"

"How was I supposed to know!"

You yelled over top of each other before both going silent. You pinched the bridge of your nose and let out a laugh you couldn't hold.

"I'm not sure why I expected this to go any differently. This is just what happens when I'm around you."

He gave you a sheepish smile, "But it's fun and keeps you on your toes right? Never boring?"

You both burst out laughing and resigned to your fate of not getting out of that door and being stuck in the dark. You started to take in what was around you, but it was clear there was no obvious exit.

The room was small and smelled of dust. It seemed like someone's private study with some books lining the shelves, a desk, and a small sofa. Unfortunately, there wasn't even a whole lot to explore to occupy yourselves. Opening up the books did you no good since you couldn't see.

You sighed and took a seat on the old sofa. Your eyes had now adjusted somewhat to the mostly dark room, you tried a few innocuous spells to see if anything would work, but they all failed.

"Well, I think we may have to rethink this and wait for everyone to notice we've gone missing together. At least Ominis should notice that it's strange for us both not to be in class."

Sebastian sat next to you, dejected.

"I'm sorry. I — I guess that I should have let you stay outside the room. Then at least you could've sent for some help."

"Are you scared in here? You can sit closer to me. It's understandable if you don't like the dark."

You felt him scoot closer to you and you sighed. After having fought trolls and huge spiders, you didn't like admitting you were a grown man afraid of the dark.
