WIP: Happy birthday, Theo

Sebastian looked down at the armchair, seeing two small leather gloves. He scooped them up, taking two steps at a time to catch Theo before she’d gone too far.  Luckily, her bountiful skirts and restrictive clothing had delayed her, and she was barely past the mermaid statue outside their common room. 

“You forgot your gloves.” Sebastian wheezed, putting his hands on his knees as he caught his breath.

Theo raised an eyebrow. “Well, you didn’t have to run.”

Sebastian gave her a flat lipped smile, cocking his hips. “You could say thank you, you know.”

Theo patted his cheek. “Thank you for saving me from a day of dreadfully cold hands.” She moved to turn back around, and up the steps.

Sebastian took a step down, looking up at her. She suddenly looked like a woman, staring down at him from above. “Tonight.  Meet me in the common room after lights out, and bring a bathing suit.”

“You didn’t,” Theo tilted her head. “How?”

Sebastian shook his head, turning away and walking back to the common room. “You’ll see!”
