"And all we know is touch and go"
Chapter Two
It took Hunter two hours. One for getting Sebastian a change of clothes, and the other for coming into the academy.
"Come on, nobody will notice," Hunter coaxed. "I mean, it's a better change than your usual clothes, right?"
Sebastian shook his head, and instead, closed his eyes.
"Ugh, are you serious?"
The green-eyed boy almost smiled at Hunter's distress. It was nice to know that he could still annoy him.
"Well, then what do you want?"
"Don't tell anybody." In an afterthought, Sebastian added, "Please."
"I wasn't going to tell anyway." Hunter swallowed. "D-Do you want, I don't know, help?"
"I don't want a counselor or whatever. It's a waste of my time."
"Okay."
Silently, Sebastian slid out of the car, following alongside Hunter into Dalton.
Some of the Warblers glanced at Sebastian, wondering why he wasn't in uniform. For those who knew him, even if Sebastian wore normal clothes, it consisted of a polo shirt and jeans. Not a v-neck sweater and sweatpants.
"They're staring," Sebastian said simply.
"Maybe because they think you look good?" Hunter quickly added, "You know. Red is a really good colour for you. You should wear it more often."
"Ha. Maybe I'll wear a red suit next time. People love spandex, right?"
Hunter had an odd look on his face. "Uh, I guess so. Do you want to attend Warbler practice today? I mean, I understand if you don't."
It was almost annoying - the sickly concern. Sebastian knew he lost his act with Hunter.
Should I use this as an advantage? He wondered. Wait, no, he's just being nice. Don't mess it up yet.
