Найди тебя снова (Finding You Again) [Malva & Sebastian]

"Я не знаю, хочу ли я ударить его или поцеловать (I have no idea if I want to hit him or kiss him)" the ink staining the fresh parchment on her diary was as clear as the day. The whole journey back home has been quite peaceful if not awkward. Octavia was sitting next to her while Sebastian was sitting a few rows back. Thankfully, the journey to the citadel did not take as long as she thought it would. On a good note, Malva finally recovered her abilities, thanks to Sebastian. Bad news was that she was now reunited with her ex, someone she would very much prefer to leave in the past.

She did glance back to look at the male diviner a few times during their plane back but as soon as he caught her staring, she immediately went to look at the front as if nothing happened. Despite the modern age, Malva still kept her diary close to her and it was where she normally jots down words or sudden spells she comes up with, rather than staining her grimoire over something that was not yet resolute. But instead of jotting those down, she was busy writing down her thoughts instead. In her mother tongue. It was better than to write in English, knowing anyone could uncover it one day.

A few days into returning to Evermore, things were the same. It was too mundane. But she probably should not have wished it so because she has been having nightmares since. She could barely sleep. Tonight was one of those nights again. The Aspect of Magic woke up sweating, despite the cold breeze of the night flowing inside her room from the open door balcony. "Not again..." she muttered to herself and went down to go get herself a glass of water. The only saving grace was that Sebastian wasn't staying nearby, he wasn't staying at the Ailward Manor, he found his way into the city on his own.

"You don't need him" she keeps telling herself but a couple of minutes later, she found herself all dressed up and knocking on the door to his place. "Sebastian Daystar, I swear if you do not get out at this very instant, I will break your door." She was being insufferable considering it was literally 2 am in the morning but she couldn't wait.

To say the past few days had been somewhat of a whirlwind would be understatement, but then he supposed that was what you got when you associated yourself with the so called ‘world protectors’ where they went, chaos tended to follow and to his own fault, he followed too. More times than he could count he had scolded himself this week for getting himself swept back into it, yet a part of him welcomed the change, welcomed the chaos, things were beginning to get pretty dull in the citadel after all.

After the long flight back, the first thing on his mind had been searching out and securing a place to live. He was quite picky but to his fortune, there was a decent amount of options to be found on the market. He settled for an upper level apartment, with a nice view of the stars at night, far enough from the streets that he could believe he wasn’t in the middle of the city if he closed his eyes.

Furniture was a slower endeavor, so the basics such as a bed and TV were to be found, but the room lacked the personal touch that might be found by a place that had been in lived in for longer. He wondered if this would be something more permanent or if he would be finding the next place before long. All the questions seemed to circle back to her, much like his whole story did, no matter how hard he tried, no matter how long, how much distance, it always came back to her.

It was late, a rare amount of silence befell in the air and he was revising spells for protective veils in his mind, it seemed like a necessary precaution considering the amount of supernatural beings in this city. Magic naturally flowed into him as he willed it to and with his mind he drew a bubble around the surrounding area to his home, the lines slowly becoming more solidified, his eyes opening with their bright amber hue reflecting the power he was drawing.

He was just about finished when the sound of a bang against the door sent a shock through his system, pulling him from the spell in almost an instant. He blinked a few times as he looked around, wondering what could have caused such a disruption, but soon he heard another bang and an annoyed voice calling out his name.

After a moment he climbed to his feet and headed to the door, opening it and leaning against the doorframe “You know, if you wanted to dream of it, there’s a spell for that, no need for you to freeze to make your way here” he jested softly but stepped aside as though to imply she was welcome to enter.

If banging against the wooden door was an exercise, Mal probably would have lost plenty of weight from it alone. She couldn’t remember how hard she knocked against the surface, or how long she has been doing it but she couldn’t remember vaguely recall doing so in a consistent manner, which showed she wasn’t stopping anytime soon.

Just before she could actually hit the diviner in the face, the door finally opened and the Aspect of Magic stopped herself, pausing with her hand balled up in fist, mid air. She had to admit, he looks good, that wad the first thing that went through her train of thoughts. The second was that what took him so long?

“I swear you’re the most infuriating person alive” she grumbled and walked inside once he allowed her, like she owned the place. Mal took a while to scan the room. It looked cozy, but not quite… homey. Something was missing, she thought.

Though if she had to hedge a guess, the Aspect of Magic wasn’t sure what it was. “I hate to admit it… but I need your help.” She exclaimed and looked back, her gaze following the male “I… can’t sleep. Again.” She was sure to at Sebastian understood the underlying message in it. It wasn’t something that a sleeping draught could fix, no. Or else she wouldn’t be here.
