This is a short chapter, sorry! It's just to reveal a little bit about my headcanon for Sebastian.

I want to put a small content warning for disordered eating in this chapter and possibly the next few.

I will also be trying to add images to these stories so stay tuned!

It was around 2am when Celeste and Sebastian got back to his house in Stardew Valley. They quietly entered the building, making sure not to wake anybody. Robin was used to Sebastian going for night rides when his insomnia kept him up, but Celeste didn't want to take any chances in startling anyone.

They slowly went down to the basement to Sebastian's room, softly laughing in a whisper as they tip-toed down the steps.

Sebastian entered after Celeste, locking the door after himself. She kicked off her shoes and slipped out of her pants as she sprawled her body on his bed, sighing in a sense of relief.

Sebastian took off his hoodie and tossed it towards a pile of dark clothes in the corner, revealing his faded black shirt underneath. He sat on the edge of the bed next to Celeste and leaned in to kiss her forehead.

"Are you feeling tired? We should get ready for bed," Sebastian said with a smirk.

Celeste's blood pumped warm and she got butterflies in her stomach. Sure, she had already spent a night in a bed with Sebastian when they had sex, but she was going to be in his bed, sleeping with the man who just told her he loved her.

"Yes, I'm exhausted," she said, as she pulled Sebastian down close to her and kissed his lips. She stroked his jaw, gently tracing his ear lobe with her fingertip. She lovingly gazed into his eyes, feeling a passion building up inside of her again.

Sebastian yawned as he stretched out his arms and smiled. "Me, too." He got up from besides Celeste and took off his jeans, throwing them in the same corner as his hoodie, revealing his frog boxers.

He looked at Celeste and blushed, quickly saying "uh, it was a gift," before she had a chance to say anything.

Celeste smiled, trying hard to hold in a laugh over his defensiveness. "You're so weird."

He crawled into bed next to her. There wasn't much space in his full bed, but his cold skin needed the warmth of hers that night.

"You're so weird," he retorted, smiling to himself as he laid on the bed beside her.

He leaned over to turn off his lamp on the nightstand beside them. The only light in the room was coming off of his computer tower in the corner on his desk.

In the quiet darkness of his room, she could hear nothing but his fan spinning and his faltered breathing, slowing down as he relaxed. She laid on her back, looking up at where his ceiling would be, barely being able to see anything in the blackness of the dark.

"Sebastian?"

"Hmm," he faintly replied, just as he was about to doze off into a slumber.

She softly whispered, wondering if he was awake enough to hear her. "Thank you. For everything."

Sebastian shifted on the mattress, moving closer to her to hold her from behind, moving his left arm behind his head and wrapping his right arm around her waist. He reached his right hand slightly up her shirt, softly stroking her belly as he snuggled her warm body close to his, the bulge in his boxers pressing softly against the back of her thigh.

Celeste felt a passionate warmth build near where his hand rubbed, wishing that they both weren't so tired right now.

"Goodnight, Sebby."

He moved his lips closer to her ear and softly whispered, "Goodnight, my sunshine," before they both fell asleep.

The two of them woke up to loud banging on the door. It was just passed 10 am and they had slept in, unphased before the rumbling sound of wood being pounded jolted them both awake.

Robin's voice came from behind the door in between bangs. "Sebby! Why is your door locked? Are you okay!?"

Sebastian rushed to his pile of clothes, grabbing his jeans and slipping his thin legs inside the sleeves as he responded, "Yes, mom! I slept in!"

He was frantically trying to put on his hoodie as he looked at Celeste, who was looking through her pile of clothes to put on something fresh.

"Good Yoba! I was so worried. Brunch is on the table for when you want to join us."

He turned to face the door before walking towards Celeste, who had just finished slipping on a pair of overalls. He grabbed her face and kissed her lips, smiling as he pulled away. "Good morning."

"Good morning." She slightly giggled from the butterflies.

Sebastian grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs to the top of the basement where the locked door kept them away from his family. He looked back at Celeste, giving her an uncomfortable grin before unlocking the door and going out into the bright living room.

They walked hand-in-hand to the kitchen, Sebastian letting go the moment he saw his family sitting at the table with all kinds of food displayed, looking like a buffet. They all looked up at him, then at Celeste, then back at him.

"Nice of you to join us, young man," Demetrius said, a slight snarl in his voice.

"Sorry, I couldn't really sleep last night," Sebastian said, rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

"Ew, why? Was Celeste in your room?" Maru answered, sounding unusually juvenile.

Robin looked at Maru and then at Sebastian and Celeste.

"She's staying with us for a few days while I work on another project in her home."

"Oh?" Demetrius was intrigued by this. "Where did you sleep last night, Celeste? I didn't hear anyone blow up the inflatable mattress."

"I, uh… in Sebastian's room."

Demetrius continued. "Sebastian. You couldn't have let your guest sleep on the floor. How unthoughtful."

Celeste looked at Sebastian, who looked painfully uncomfortable. She wasn't sure why Demetrius was coming after him, so she stepped in. "Actually, Sebastian took the floor and let me use his bed. He's a gentleman."

Demetrius lifted an eyebrow looking at Sebastian then at Celeste, who stood confidently and unfaltering after what she said. "That's my boy," he said, reaching over to pat Sebastian on the back.

Demetrius was not his father, and Sebastian hated when he would say things like this.

Sebastian let out a sigh of relief, sitting at the table next to his family. Celeste joined him, serving herself a plate.

Celeste joyfully ate everything that was prepared: turkey bacon, scrambled eggs, oatmeal, pancakes. All of her favorites. She looked over at Sebastian, who was looking down at his fingernails, pulling at the skin on his cuticles. He was only having a cup of coffee for breakfast, and Celeste felt a pit of pain in her gut.

After brunch was over, Sebastian silently walked back to his bedroom, leaving Celeste behind at the table.

"Sweetheart, I'm going to get some supplies from Clint to finish building those burglar bars you asked for. We're going to work as fast as we can so you can go back to sleeping in your own bed." Robin was alone at the table with Celeste, smiling at her as she said this in a playful tone. She had her head in her hands.

"I appreciate it. And thank you for always inviting me into your home."

"You are always welcome around here, sweetie."

Robin smiled as she got up from the table, heading to the foyer to begin her carpentry work for the afternoon.

Celeste headed down to the basement to see Sebastian in his room, laying on his bed and throwing a hacky sack in the air.

She sat down next to him on the bed, catching the hacky sack before it fell back down to him. Warmly, she smiled at him, expecting a smile in response.

He kept the same frown on his face.

"Seb, what's wrong?"

"I can't stand them. And I don't understand why they have to act that way around YOU."

"Yeah, that was weird. But everything seemed okay in the end. Don't worry about it." Celeste tried to soothe Sebastian.

"I'm 25, yet they act like I'm still fucking 15," he continued, growing angrier.

Celeste watched Sebastian as he spoke while he stared at the ceiling. His brows furrowed and his eyes began to well up, the rage building behind his eyes.

"They never take anything I do seriously. It's like I'm a piece of shit rotting away in this dungeon."

Celeste grabbed on to Sebastian's hand, trying to ground him again. He looked up at her, his glossy eyes keeping his gaze for several moments.

He then sat up on his bed, looking at his feet on the floor in an attempt to calm himself down.

"We should probably get going to your farm. We gotta water those chickens and feed those crops," he said, half smiling at Celeste.

She laughed and agreed.

The walked on the northern path towards New Sunshine farm, side by side, headed west.

Sebastian reached his hand in his hoodie pocket, searching for his pack of cigarettes. Quickly, Celeste stuck her hand in his pocket and held on to his hand, hoping he'd make some sort of effort to quit while she was around. They walked in silence like that for awhile, listening to the birds and feeling the warm summer breeze blow through their hair.

When they got to the farm, they saw Shane standing besides the coop, hauling some chicken feed inside.

"Shane!" She let go of Sebastian's hand and ran towards the hunky man, who, upon noticing her, dropped the bag of chicken feed to the ground.

She hugged him tightly, excited to see her friend. And he was ready to care for her chickens.

"I haven't seen you in awhile. I got kind of worried," Shane said after she pulled away, rubbing the back of his head.

"Aw, Mr. Chicken Man! Sorry, I've been busy... We can hang out soon though!" Celeste innocently smiled, not noticing that Sebastian was starting to feel a bit of jealousy towards Shane.

She has pet names for everybody. It can't mean anything…

"Hey Mr. Chicken Man," Sebastian said, pulling his hand from his hoodie pocket to give a nonchalant wave towards Shane.

Shane slightly glared at Sebastian, picking up the feed to take it into the coop.

"Thank you so much, Shane!" She turned to Sebastian, waving her arms frantically in the air. "Seb, let's get to feeding the crops!" She laughed lightly, running to get her watering pail from inside the shed.

After the farm duties were done, Shane said goodbye to the two of them, giving Celeste a hug and Sebastian a firm handshake that rocked his entire body. He headed back south towards Marnie's ranch as Celeste and Sebastian headed north towards his home.

"Are we playing Solarian Chronicles tonight?"

Sebastian looked down at the ground, feeling flustered. "Sam's not feeling well today, so he took a raincheck."

The truth was… Sebastian was the one who took the raincheck. He texted Sam while they were at the farm, telling him that he didn't feel well today, when in fact, he just wanted to be alone with Celeste again.

"Aw, that's too bad. Do you want to invite Abigail instead?"

Sebastian's eyes shot up, looking at Celeste in almost a glare.

"I guess not then… Dude, why are you weird about her? We hang out at the saloon and it's not a problem."

"It's a long story."

"I've got time." She stopped dead in her tracks, crossing her arms. Sebastian turned to face her and sighed.

"Ok, it's not really a long story. We dated in high school. Nothing really happened so she broke up with me."

"Nothing really happened?"

Sebastian's voice got more serious as he looked Celeste straight in the eyes. "Yes, nothing really happened. Do you remember high school? It's not cool for a guy to not put out."

Celeste's eyes widened as she looked at Sebastian, who gulped before continuing.

"She broke up with me and told people it was because I was gay. Just because I wouldn't have sex with her at 17." He furiously rolled his eyes.

Celeste's mouth was wide open.

"Don't get me wrong. She's apologized since then. And we recently became friends again, so it's nice and all. But sometimes I just wanna hang out with Sam, ya know?"

He looked down, shuffling his feet in the dirt. "And with you."

Celeste began walking again, Sebastian catching up and wrapping his bony fingers around hers.

"Do you still have feelings for her?"

"Who?"

Celeste rolled her eyes. "For Abigail, duh!"

Sebastian squeezed Celeste's hand, looking at her as he said this. "No. Absolutely not."

"Why not? She's hot," Celeste said, half-joking (but half-not, because she couldn't help but notice the sex-appeal Abigail had).

"Hot-headed."

Celeste laughed lightly.

They reached the front door to his home as he slowly opened to make sure the coast was clear.

"If you wanna head to my room, I can get us some snacks."

"Ok."

Moments later, Sebastian returned with a package of cookies and a pot of tea.

How cute, Celeste squealed on the inside.

He placed the snacks on the table where they usually play Solarian Chronicles, sitting on the ground next to Celeste. He then poured her a glass of tea. "Do you want it sweet?"

"No, the way it comes is just fine."

He then poured himself a cup and began to eat some of the bite-sized cookies.

"So…"

Celeste inched closer to him as he looked up, mouth full with crumbs all over his face.

"Any other ex-girlfriends I should know about?"

Sebastian continued chewing, unable to speak with his mouth full. However, his eyes were in a full-on glare this time.

"Or ex-boyfriends? That's cool too."

He swallowed and scoffed, taking a long sip from his tea, paying no mind to what Celeste just asked him.

"I dated on gal before Dallas. We knew each other in high school and then took all the same classes in college. It was a very short relationship and we still talk sometimes but there's nothing there. She realized she was straight." Celeste sighed.

Sebastian looked up from his cup, intrigued.

"So, you're not?"

"No, I'm not."

"Cool."

Sebastian continued sipping his tea.

"Are you?"

Sebastian finished the tea and then put the cup down on the table. He looked up at Celeste, giving her a serious look.

"I…don't know."

Sebastian looked away, flicking his fingers that were now under the table.

Celeste was confused. "Huh? What do you mean you don't know? I, uh…. We did… a thing. I hoped you did it cuz you were attracted to me." Celete's voice cracked as she said this.

Sebastian put his hand on Celeste's lap. "I am attracted to you, like a lot. I just don't find this thing happen to me pretty often."

Celeste was longingly staring at Sebastian as he slowly rubbed her lap, his dark eyes were coquettishly looking at her and his bottom lip began to quiver.

"Can I kiss you now?" he said, coyly.

"I'd love that."

He leaned in to meet his lips with hers, grabbing her face but holding it oh so gently as if she was fragile.

Celeste pulled back, biting her lip. "Okay, while we're on the topic and it looks like we're going to be completely honest with each other, which I love by the way, …."

Sebastian's eyes widened as he grew anxious, feeling a slight sense of rejection.

"I had a small thing with Leah."

His heart fell into his stomach. "Is that why you went to the Flower Dance with her?"

"Yes, ...well, no. She made a move on me after the dance. But it wasn't anything major. We would just make out and stuff. It's not like we had sex or anything."

"I guess that's supposed to make me feel better?"

Celeste grabbed Sebastian and moved him closer to her.

"Yes. It wasn't anything. She's just a friend and… I guess I was feeling a little lonely after coming to Stardew Valley to escape Dallas and everything. And she felt the same way regarding her breakup. BUT that's not how I feel about you. I want to be with you."

Celeste kissed Sebastian once more, bringing him closer to her in her embrace.

"Would you like to play a game of Solarian Chronicles?"

"I actually had something else in mind," Sebastian said with a wink.
