It all started when Sebastian saw Jess wearing a beautiful green crop top which, although it had tight sleeves, fell loose over her bellybutton.
They were enchanted, and couldn't help but thinking how would something like that look on them.
Would their chest look slightly more pronounced? And their hips more round, if they wore tight pants with it?
Well, all those questions were left unanswered, because their shyness and doubts got their best.
But then, just a few weeks later, Lewis sent them the pictures of the Met Gala. And, although Lewis looked magnificent in that suit, who called their attention the most were those few men wearing something that looked like a dress.
A dress.
Sebastian has always loved dresses. There was something about them, the way a person always managed to look as comfortable as pretty with a simple piece of clothing like that...
Seb could -and actually did- spend hours watching and choosing their favourites in a virtual catalogue. Appreciating how it looked in the models, and picturing the same dress wore by them.
And that's how they ended up falling in love with a red and white Montgomery dress.
The way it looked so appropriate and unisex...
Its beautiful shape and the colors of Kimi's car...
It had to be theirs. And so they bought it, along with a pair of nude coloured heels.
The hard part now was... Telling Kimi.
Not because Sebastian was scared. Their boyfriend was very loving and supportive, respecting their non binary persona and reassuring them every time Sebastian was called a "he" or a "fagg".
It was because they really really wanted Kimi to like it. They wanted Kimi to still think they were pretty and lovely, and for him to watch them in awe as they showed him the outfit for the first time.
Sebastian loved clothes, but they loved Kimi more, so decided not to tell him for the moment.
But Kimi wasn't blind, and it didn't take him long to notice there was something bothering his partner.
So, during an evening full of kisses, chess and old races watching... Kimi asked them.
Sebastian didn't even try to hide or deny their feelings. They just lowered their gaze and then told Kimi to wait there, while they looked for something.
The Finn saw Seb reappearing with a big box.
"What is this?"
"Something I bought some time ago." Kimmi nodded.
"May I?"
Sebastian gave him the box and he opened, finding the Montgomery and the shoes inside. He smiled as he felt the fabric, and then stood up with the dress , extending his arm to see the full shape and how would it look.
His eyes moved to Sebastian, who was staring at him, expectant and beautifully blushed.
"It's pretty."
"Do you like it?" Kimi looked up, pretending not to be sure what to answer.
"I don't know. Maybe if I see it on, I'll have a better picture."
But Sebastian knew their man too well, and so they smiled big, grabbed everything and ran to their room.
A few minutes later, Sebastian's loud walking called Kimi's attention.
They were not only wearing the dress and the shoes, but also had their curls brushed, shaken up a little and looking wild on their head. They also had a bright silver collar he had given them for their anniversary.
They looked absolutely stunning.
And his face must have given him away because they smiled shyly and clumsily ran towards him.
"So?"
Kimi was a bit speechless, more focused on placing his hands on Seb's hips and observing him from head to toes.
"Let's put it this way... I want us to go for a walk and then have dinner in that big restaurant down the avenue so that I can show off how lucky I am to be dating the most beautiful person in the world." Sebastian's eyes gleamed.
"Can we do that? Wait, what if someone recognizes us?"
"We'll deal with it."
The couple had a nice time strolling by the snowy park, just enjoying themselves and since they had sanitary masks on, nobody found out who they actually were.
Unfortunately, what happened at the restaurant was a different story.
After Kimi and Seb found their table and got comfortable, removing their masks and drinking the wine the waitress served them, a big group of people entered the place, and a few of them recognized Sebastian, mumbling their name.
Kimi noticed their apprehension and nervousness, and placed a hand atop of Seb’s restless fidgeting to stall him.
A moment later their food arrived, and that kept them busy for a few minutes... Until they felt the sound of the mumbling grow louder, and when Sebastian turned around, they had like ten people slightly getting closer to their table, pointing at their shoes and dress
Kimi looks up from his near finished plate at the sound of Seb setting down their fork and staring off to the left, and so he saw what whas happening and most importantly, what it made Sebastian feel. Kimi took their hand.
"Let's leave before they take a picture." Sebastian said sighing with sadness, and a bit of embarrasment.
Kimi got up inmediately and escorted his partner out of the place.
Sebastian chose to focus on the reassuring hand that remains firmly on their back, eyes downcast the entire way out and refusing to look at the people.
Kimi didn't, and right after giving them the finger, sent the group a finalsing glare, pointedly telling them not to follow.
They managed to return to their house before it started snowing hard.
Sebastian took off the heels and lay down on the couch.
"Do you want coffee? Whipped cream on top?" Kimi offered, remembering Seb's favourite treat.
They nodded, but the sad expression on their face remained until Kimi got their hot drinks and cuddled together while enjoying them.
"I'm sorry." Sebastian suddenly said.
"For what, love?"
"For the failed date, and for attracting unnecesary attention. I won't go in public like this again." The Finn felt his heart break a little. How was it possible that Sebastian thought this was their fault?
"Oh, no. It's not your fault that my city is full of sneaky close minded idiots. My love, you look wonderful tonight. And I'm proud of you for being so brave."
"Brave? I just ran away." Kimi kissed them.
"You were very brave when you showed me the box, and when you held my hand in the park, and for always being your beautiful self." Sebastian smiled again after that, and Kimi let out a relieved sigh.
"So did you actually mean it? That you like the dress?"
"Yes, I did."
"Because... I might want to buy another. And there's this top..."
"Do it. Maybe you could debut it next week. Lewis and Valtteri invited us dinner."
Sebastian nodded and literally jumped to kiss him.
Both felt so lucky to have each other.
