Both guys stood there awkwardly, neither of them talking which just made everything more tense. (m/n) could make out the sound of a click coming from Sebastian's pocket.
A lighter maybe? He seems kinda annoyed... I should've just stayed at the damn cabin.. (m/n) nervously swallowed the sickly feeling that was forming in his throat, he didn't know what to say or do. "S-So uh-" (m/n) started to get out but he was quickly interrupted.
"Come on, the quicker this is over with the quicker my mom will get off our backs.." Sebastian grumbled, taking a capped lighter out of his pocket. The sight filled (m/n) with a hint of pride, impressed at his own correctness in guessing the object. Sebastian noticed the look and slightly rolled his eyes, both annoyed and confused at the sight. Well there goes (m/n)'s pride out the window.
Sebastian made his way past (m/n) and towards the door his hand with the lighter going into his jeans pocket and pulling out a pack of cigarettes. (m/n) quickly followed after Sebastian as he made his way out the door, seemed like he wasn't keen on waiting around for him to catch up or question where they were going.
The sun was still shining across the valley, almost giving the place a magical feeling. (m/n) could see a couple petals floating in the wind and he couldn't help but wonder if there were any cherry blossom trees around, he's always wanted to see one in person..
Though, as if Yoba themselves wanted to punish (m/n) for moving to this town, he bumped into Sebastian's back as he was distracted watching a petal in the sky. Sebastian didn't really move from the bump but (m/n) quickly leapt back to create space between them once more.
"S-Sorry!! I-I was looking at the petals and didn't notice you stop. I'm so sorry- I uh, I usually don't get distracted this much I'm sorry-" (m/n) quickly spat out.
Yeah sure, you're usually not this distracted? Hah! Don't delude yourself, your mind's always in the clouds. (m/n) quickly bit his tongue, silencing his thoughts.
"Geez, do you always apologize that much? Fuckin' annoying.." Sebastian scoffed out, raising a cigarette to his lips and flicking the lighter open, attempting to light it. After a couple attempts, Sebastian groaned and smacked the lighter on his palm, trying to get the juice to the ignition. "Goddamn it.."
(m/n) clamped his mouth shut. It wasn't like those words were new or anything. So much for good impressions..
(m/n) watched Sebastian struggle with his lighter for a second, slightly relishing in the other guy's annoyance. But he decided to help out and reached into his pocket and pulled a (f/c) lighter out, it had a small (f/f) design on it. He held it out to Sebastian who looked at it slightly thankful but mostly annoyed still.
Nonetheless, Sebastian took it and flicked it, causing a small flame to burst out and light his cigarette. The ravenette handed the lighter back before blowing out some smoke.
"You smoke..?" Sebastian mumbled out, holding the ignited cigarette between his fingers and giving (m/n) a slightly interested look. (m/n) quickly shook his head as he stuffed the lighter back into his pocket.
"No.. Just figured it might come in handy someday so I always carry a working one." (m/n) answered, rubbing the smooth, (f/c), plastic cover of the lighter between his fingers.
"Hm... Well thanks." Sebastian walked over to the garage door and lifted it up, showing off the slightly cluttered space. "Wait here." He instructed as he went in, searching around all the tools and cans of mysterious liquids that (m/n) couldn't quite read the titles of. (m/n)'s eyes focused on the clutter, noticing a tarp covering something that could be some sort of vehicle. There were puddles of oil on the grey, concrete floor and some different types of nuts and bolts carelessly thrown around.
Is he a mechanic? That would kinda make sense.... Kinda messy though but so am I so I can't judge. (m/n) thought as his eyes wandered about. Soon his eyes made it back to Sebastian without meaning it. Hm... He doesn't seem to like social situations.. He's always kind of tense as well... His hair roots don't look black, is his hair dyed?
(m/n)'s brows furrowed as he observed Sebastian and how he looked, making him look as if he was glaring but he was actually just really focused. (m/n) quickly stopped though once Sebastian started to make his way back with a bottle of green goo, which (m/n) chalked up to be Aloe, and a bucket with some water and suds in it.
Sebastian plopped the bucket down on the dirt, outside of the garage before turning around and pulling the metal door down. Sebastian sighed and went back over to (m/n), holding his hand out which made (m/n) kind of confused. Sebastian tsked and pointed to (m/n)'s shirt.
"Shirt? I'll show you how to get started." Sebastian huffed out, his cigarette resting loosely between his lips.
"Uhm......" (m/n) awkwardly looked away. Yeah no. I don't have a shirt under this genius, no way in hell I'm taking this off.
Sebastian seemed to catch onto that thought and retracted his hand, his pale cheeks getting a hint of color to them as he awkwardly rubbed his neck. "Uh.. Sorry, I didn't think that through..." He uttered, shifting on his feet. "I uh.. Have an extra shirt somewhere, wanna use it for the time being?"
With a small nod from (m/n), Sebastian set the Aloe bottle down and snuffed his cigarette out, putting the half cigarette back in his pack. "Alright.." Sebastian muttered before walking past (m/n) and towards the door, this time glancing back to make sure he was keeping up.
