Rory and Sebastian had been dating long enough that Sebastian had begun to notice certain things, things like how Rory would hold onto Sebastian for just a fraction of a second longer, how he would constantly bury his face in Sebastian's shoulder and inhale deeply.
Sebastian thought nothing of these occurrences. That is until Rory requested that they swap jackets, Sebastian remembers handing over his jacket for the first time, brow furrowed as he watched Rory wrap himself up in the jacket that was slightly too big for him, burying his nose in the fibers. It finally clicked, Rory was obsessed with Sebastian's scent.
He had laughed at first, watching as Rory's face had become flushed and he'd hid away for hours until Sebastian promised not too laugh again. But he couldn't help himself, he constantly teased Rory about his obsession, sometimes blatantly leaving his shirts on Rory's side of the bed, on the counter, in the bathroom after he'd showered, just to see Rory's face flush a deep red as he inhaled the scent of him.
One day, Sebastian decided to ask him what was so great about the way he smelled, Rory just smiled and looked at him and said,
"You smell like coffee and aftershave." Sebastian's chuckled.
"That's all?" He'd murmured, looking at Rory with soft eyes.
Rory just nodded and wrapped himself in Sebastian's jacket again. Sebastian still teased him from time to time, but he could see why Rory was so obsessed. After all, Sebastian was beginning to notice, he smelled a lot like peppermints.
