no halo;;

it was a softness that rarely surfaced when it came to woody , and his whole body shrugged in defeat before words even left his lips . “ i got issues , lils . you know that . i can’t stop myself getting angry , i fucked up .. but i can’t take that back . if i could go back and not fight seb then .. well .. nah , i probably wouldn’t take that back , because he seemed like a bit of an ass at the masquerade . but he’s gotta be a great guy if you like him so damn much , “ was that sincerity in his tone ?? was the great woody anderson actually remorseful , or was he mad that he got caught and was getting an earful of his break . either way , eyes rolled and he stubbed out the rest of his cigarette to drop into the depths of his jacket pocket . “ do what you want love . i was just worried about you . i said my piece , and i would tell leyla about you if i didn’t think she’d come and rip your hair clean out your scalp . all this , no matter how fucked it might seem , is to make sure that you aren’t gonna get hurt by a guy that treats your heart like a soccer ball , “

honestly, sebastian didn’t feel like he had broken ribs. they hurt, like hell, but they didn’t feel broken. besides, the ice cubes that lily had brought would definitely help numb the pain and the painkillers that he had taken should be kicking in soon too. sebastian bit his bottom lip & looked at lily the whole time as she had entered the bedroom earlier. blinking, he watched as as she focused on the ice cube that was pressed against his skin. licking his lips slowly, sebastian tilted his head a little to the side as he kept his eyes on her the whole time.

when he had answered what she had said, sebastian watched as she looked up at him and biting down on her lip. if you’re not in too much pain. he swallowed and shook his head and continued to keep his gaze locked with hers. ❛ i’m okay, ❜ he whispered softly as she raised an eyebrow at him while the male reached forward and placed his hand over hers. when she stopped her movements, her eyes flickered towards his. parting his lips a little, he chuckled softly at the words coming from lily’s mouth about how he was being needy. before he was able to say anything, she leaned the rest of the way in to kiss him, a lot more passionately than he had previously done. moving the hand from her cheek and to the back of her neck, sebastian leaned in and turned a little of his body towards hers, deepening the kiss. 

Lily adored the private time she got to spend with Sebastian. She knew she would love being in public with him; he seemed like the type to show off the fact that he was with someone. It was just that in public, she could just be herself around him. He was yet to judge her for anything, and had gone along with everything she said the last time they dressed up this nice and fancy. This time all she wanted to do was rip the rest of his shirt off and just.. have a great time. It was just unfortunate that they would have to be so careful.

he swallowed and turned to look at lily who walked over towards the bed. smiling softly at the girl, he tilted his head to the side and watched as she placed the bowl with ice cubes in, on the side-table next to the bed. seb, you’re… really hurt, are you sure you don’t need to go to to a hospital? he sank his teeth into his bottom lip and nodded. ❛ hey, it’s okay. i’m good. i promise, ❜ sebastian answered as he watched her take off her heels, placing them together on the floor. he continued to lean back against the bed, while his eyes were locked with hers as she took the bowl and hopped up onto the free side of the bed, while her fingers opened his shirt even wide. he swallowed against the lump in his throat, watching her as she placed an ice cube at the top of his chest, before drawing it downwards until it got to his ribs. 

biting his bottom lip, sebastian watched as she outlined the bruise and weirdly enough, it felt really good. it was helping. the numbness to the skin helped get the pain away. you can do me later. his smirk widened and both of his eyebrows raised as he turned to look at the girl sitting next to him. ❛ can i do you later? ❜ sebastian answered and chuckled softly while keeping his dark brown eyes locked with hers as he was obviously teasing her about what she had said. ❛ hmm, good to know, ❜ he replied and laughed softly, while nibbling on his bottom lip. keeping his eyes locked with lily, sebastian moved his hand and placed it on top of hers. his dark eyes dropped to her lips and he licked his own absentmindedly before he leaned in towards lily, closing in the distance between the two of them slowly. looking up in her eyes, sebastian smiled softly, ❛ are you gonna kiss me or not? ❜

Lily would believe Seb, of course she would. They were his injuries, after all, and she didn't know how much pain he was in. Besides, she was sure that the ice would help numb the bruising that had appeared across his ribs, and the painkillers would kick in soon enough. They were strong, anyway, and mixed with the alcohol in his system, surely that exaggerated their effect. So she nodded, instead focusing on the ice cube, slowly melting against his soft skin.

sebastian had experienced getting his ribs hurt before. he had survived a car accident, after-all, one where his whole body had been covered in bruises. so, sebastian knew that the bruises and wounds on his body, was going to take a long time to heal. at least a couple of weeks. it was sweet though, how lily continued to show him that she would be there for him through it all. it was one of the things that sebastian adored about the female. tilting his head a little to the side, sebastian blinked and swallowed against the lump in his throat as she said okay and covered his hand that was on her face, placing a kiss to the palm of it before she turned her head. you go and lie down, and i’ll be back in a minute. 

❛ okay, ❜ he whispered and laughed softly, nodding his head when she told him to lay down on the bed. moving over to the edge of the mattress, sebastian sat down and pressed both of his hands against it, while staring at the wall opposite of him. closing both of his eyes for a split second, sebastian took a long and deep breath of air before opening them & glancing down towards the bruised skin. it didn’t take long until he laid back on the bed, like lily had told him to, and he felt the back of his head press against the pillow. 

as she entered the bedroom again, and he heard her voice, sebastian turned his head around while laying on the bed and smiled towards the girl. hope you’re ready, these are ice cold. he chuckled softly and hummed, keeping his dark-brown eyes locked with hers the whole time. ❛ i think i’m ready, ❜ he said and wiggled his eyebrows at her, though the laugh that followed, hurt so he quickly stopped with that. pushing himself onto his elbows, slowly, he turned and focused on getting up in a half-sitting position. the muscles in his arms tensed as he used all of the strength in his body to keep himself up. 

Though admittedly, Lily was a little turned on and giddy still from all of the alcohol she can consumed during the night, she was more concerned about the state of his injuries. He may have said he was happy to have her hands all over him (usually she would be ecstatic to), but if it caused him more harm than good, she would make sure he was just.. okay for the night. As much as she really, really wanted to do all sorts with him, Lils simply couldn't bring herself to.

So when she waited in the doorway for him to notice her, she took in the amount that he winced, stopped laughing due to the pain it was causing him. Now that his shirt was undone, she could tell how much he was tending to ensure that he was upright for her as she walked closer towards the bed. A concerned expression crossed her face for a flicker of two seconds, before she ended up placing the bowl on the side-table next to her bed. "Seb, you're.. really hurt, are you sure you don't need to go to a hospital?" She questioned, taking off her heels and placing them together on the floor.

it seemed that his return had thrown a spanner into the works of whatever was going on with lily . that wasn’t his intention , and even if things were the same as they always had been he was too broken to pursue a romance ( or mutual crush ) that may have been festering beneath the surface . at her words mason simply shrugged , although their hands never once parted throughout the whole time in the treehouse . fingertips played with fingertips , idly moving knuckles and stroking the pad of his thumb against the back of hers in a gentle display of affection even if nothing had to be said . their bodies remained huddled together too even if the surroundings had warmed and they were no longer dependent on each other’s body heat . “ well you gotta introduce us sometime then , need all the friends i can get now that i’m back here for the foreseeable . can’t just hang around with the zoo animals all the time , even if i wanted to , “ things were kept jokey to hide the fact that he was miserable . this wasn’t right , this wasn’t mason ; it was the shell of a boy that had always been more , the light in every room now dull and flickering as his bulb seemed to wear out . “ – or we could just stay in here forever . i mean , until i got to work again . i just wanna avoid the world for as long as i can , “  but how long could he avoid the emptiness in his chest , the void that turned his stomach whenever he focused on the feeling for too long . staying cooped up in their safety haven couldn’t last forever .

the skin was already bruising — the red and pink was starting to show and he knew that it was going to probably grow and become pretty big. the painkillers were definitely starting to work now and he was extremely grateful about that. he swallowed and blinked, keeping his eyes on her the whole time as she traced her fingers over the outerline. he kept his eyes on lily the whole time and he noticed how she moved her head up when he spoke. sebastian bit his bottom lip and blinked as he noticed a blush covering her cheeks.

as he leaned down and pressed his lips against hers, he let his eyelids flutter shut as soon as their lips met one another. opening his eyes slowly, he looked at her as she returned to hold onto the counter right behind her and when she pulled back, he let his forehead lean down a little and press against hers. thankfully she was wearing heels, which made it easier for them to touch as they were quite similar heights because of it. he swallowed and looked at her as she said she didn’t want to end up causing him more pain. so… why don’t we take this to the bedroom so i that i can look after you a little more properly? the smirk on his lips widened and he chuckled as she thought ice cubes would help the pain. ❛ okay, ❜ he said and laughed, sinking his teeth into his bottom lip before he moved his hand to her face. 

Lily was sure she'd read somewhere that rib bruises took around three or more weeks to heal. This would be a pretty big one, but hopefully his road to recovery would be fairly smooth. She'd be there for him if he needed her to be, anyway. Of course she would, when she wasn't at work, and he wasn't either. The girl hated seeing his otherwise perfect skin being blocked by the bruising and redness to his body. He hadn't deserved this.

There was something about the boy, though, that meant that Lily was constantly on edge. In a good way, of course. She didn't know what was going to happen next in a way. One minute, they were talking about something incredibly deep and upsetting, and the next he was indicating that he wanted nothing more but her hands all over him. The smirk, God, that little smirk drove her crazy, and she couldn't help the cheeky smile that crossed her lips when he agreed to it. "Okay." She repeated, her hand coming to cover his on her face and placing a kiss to the palm of his hand once she turned her head slightly. "You go and lie down, and I'll be back in a minute."

laughing softly, sebastian looked at lily who undid the last of his buttons and opening his shirt to get a fuller view of the bruised skin. he swallowed against the lump in his throat and took a deep breath, feeling his lungs hurt a little as his eyes dropped to look at the female’s hands. he held his breath and looked at lily, as she placed her palm to his chest before she slowly ran her hand down his body and until where the bruised skin was located. letting out the air he was holding in, sebastian blinked and looked at her when she removed her hand and cleared her throat. well, mr. moore, if you keep that up, i really won’t be able to take my hands off you. a chuckle fell from his lips and he tilted his head a little to the side when she chuckled and looked at him. unfortunately i don’t think that would exactly be in line with the doctor’s orders. taking a step forward, sebastian lifted his hand and gently touched her face though the arm dropped soon after. ❛ actually, i think that’s exactly what the doctor would have prescribed for me, ❜ he said and smirked mischiviously while keeping his eyes on her the whole time. leaning down, sebastian pressed his lips against hers softly. 

in her presence he could never stay upset for long . in their youth his scraped-up knees or fights with his twin brother would always be softened by the presence of her , a quick joke here and there to take away attention from where it hurt . scrunching his eyes closed to fight back the last of his tears , rubbing his nose on his sleeve to rid the evidence , he gave a slight laugh at her attempt to shove his fist away . mason couldn’t hurt a fly or kill a spider if it had taken refuge in his bathtub , let alone fight any real living human . “ alright , alright .. no violence . a punch from me would probably feel like someone stroking you anyway , let’s be real . we’ll leave the threats to the professionals , “ their pinky fingers interlocked in a promise that was never to be broken . stupid agreements that they’d made years ago were bound by the seal even to this day , and he trusted lily enough to agree that things wouldn’t hurt like this forever ( even if , right now , his whole world was agony ) . “ chin-up , c’mon . i don’t want you crying because my life sucks . yours is pretty good right now , so let’s focus on that . tell me about your guy , “ mason’s heart continued to ache , wide eyes bleary and gleaming with a film of more tears that still threatened to drip down his cheeks . maybe it was wrong of him to feel the pang of jealousy in his stomach , an envy greener than the tone of his hair ..   “ he must be pretty great to get your seal of approval . “

tilting his head a little to the side, the young male chuckled softly at what she said about the look he was currently supporting was doing something to her. ❛ yeah? ❜ sebastian said and chuckled, while his teeth pressed into his bottom lip. ❛ do you think i can pull off the look? ❜ he asked her teasingly and chuckled softly as she looked up at him. he knew looked like a full on mess. that’s… real sweet of you. taking a deep breath, sebastian felt his chest tighten a little bit as she bit down on her bottom lip before she looked down to focus on the last few buttons of the shirt. as he stood there, he kept his head tilted forward and he watched as her fingers finished with the last few buttons. taking a deep breath, he licked his lips and swayed back and forth on the back of his heel, while not being one hundred percent sure what to say or do next. ❛ well, it’s the truth and — i could barely take my eyes off you the whole night, ❜ he spoke softly, while keeping his eyes on hers.

                                        Blair wasn’t very good at providing much context to her outbursts, and it just so happened that Lily was the only one nearby to be on the receiving end. The officer bounded up to the brunette, shoving her harshly to get her attention. “You got a cell phone? I need to use it.” she breathed. “Now. I haven’t got all fucking day.”

“ shes – “ he went to protest but stopped himself , brow crinkling , his alcoholic haze reminding him that leyla was his girlfriend now after he’d asked her to be official ( the cocaine in his nostrils had certainly helped forget the question ) . “ she’s seen us hangin’ around but i haven’t told her . “ knowing his partner , woody was sure that if he had told the girl of his and lily’s night the girl wouldn’t still be kicking around long enough to come bother him at work like she was doing right now . “ what else was i meant to do ?? i let him try and explain himself , but it weren’t good enough . it’s sorted now , we punched it out .. takes two to have a fight , “ both hands threw up in surrender , his cigarette hanging between both lips , yet again shifting blame off his own volatile mood swing . “ are you gonna hate me now ‘cus i was tryin’ to keep you safe ?? “
