Chapter Text
Finally! It's finally finished! After days of learning and failing it's finally done! Y/N finally made that scarf for Sebastian! He says that the cold doesn't bother him but it's still nice to have anyway, just in case.
Y/N stepped out of the newly renovated farm house and into the wintery wonderland that was the farm, taking the scarf along too. Y/N quickly wondered if winter was going to be as profitable as the last seasons. That wasn't the first thing that came to mind though.
The scarf itself was well made for a first time sewing session. Of course it wasn't easy. Y/N spent a lot of time trying to figure it out. Eventually Y/N gave up and had to ask Emily for help. Of course Emily was more than happy to help. Especially because she knew of Y/N's crush on the introverted boy. However Emily did get a bit too excited once or twice.
Y/N was making the way through the peaceful settlement of Pelican Town. Y/N took the time to admire the change of scenery during the seasons. The fields of white covered the ground and rooftops of the little town. Y/N could see why this place was special to grandpa. It has this charm to it that you don't find anywhere else.
Y/N wasn't paying attention and ended up bumping into Maru, who was walking to the clinic.
"Y/N! Good to see you! Feels like I haven't seen you in a while!" Maru and Y/N grew close ever since Y/N moved here. You could say they were like double As on a battery pack!
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that Maru." Y/N said with an apologetic tone. "I spent the last few days working on something."
"Really? What is it? Is it an automatic cow milking machine?! Is it a robot?!"
"What? No.."
"Aaww bummer! When will you use that robot building manual I gave you?!"
"Eventually! Right now I have to bring this scarf to Sebby!"
"You made a scarf for my brother? Wow." Maru has a bit of astonishment in her voice.
"What do you mean wow?" Y/N questioned.
"I never would have taken the time out of my day to make something for Sebastian. Though I'll admit, it is something that crossed my mind..." Y/N was aware of the rocky relationship in Maru's family. If only there was something that could be done to help it.
"I'm sure he'll come around! After all you're family!" Y/N's comment gave Maru a smile. They both knew how to cheer each other up. After a quick conversation about science that Y/N didn't understand, the journey to Sebastian's basement continued.
Y/N stopped in front of the door and took a deep breath before opening the entrance to the mountain home. The smell of pine and old timber hit Y/N's nose hard, but it wasn't a bad smell, it was a comforting smell. When Y/N walked in, the lovable lumberjack was there to say hello.
"Y/N! It's good to see you! What brings you here?" Robin was the first face Y/N saw when first entering Stardew Valley. Out of all the gingers out there, Robin was the favorite.
"Heya Robin! I brought a little gift for Sebastian!" Y/N couldn't contain the excitement.
"Well that awfully nice of you! Unfortunately he isn't here right now."
"Oh, he isn't?" Y/N was a little disappointed, but understood.
"Oh you know him. He's probably at Sam's practicing for their band." The thought of Sebastian in a band was really appealing. Of course Y/N would never admit it, but Sebastian being in a band made him even more attractive.
"Hopefully that's all he's doing. Instead of getting himself into trouble." Y/N turned around to see the the papa of the house, good o'l Demetrius.
"I trust Sebastian honey, you shouldn't worry." Robin was the more understanding of the two.
"It's not that I don't trust him. I just worry, that's all." Demetrius noticed your presence and his faces turned red.
"O-Oh! Y/N! I'm sorry, I didn't see you there, my apologies."
"Don't worry about it Demetrius. You're just concerned, that's all." Demetrius have Y/N a nod and smile. Y/N knew about the tension between Sebastian and Demetrius. It wasn't that Demetrius hated Sebastian, it's just that they never couldn't see eye to eye.
"Anyways, Y/N, would you like to stay for dinner? Maru should be back soon, and Sebastian usually comes home at night. You could give your gift to him then!" Robins suggestion made sense, so why not?
During that time, Y/N helped Robin with dinner and assisted Demetrius in the lab. Some time had passed and Maru came home and greeted her parents. When she spotted Y/N, her face lit up.
The day soon turned to night and Sebastian still had not returned. Y/N briefly wondered if he really was doing something wrong. Y/N shook off the thought. Everyone gathered to the kitchen and sat down.
"When is Sebastian coming home?" Maru asked.
"Who knows with that boy. It's not like we can stop him though." Demetrius commented.
After getting started on dinner and having small talk with the family, Y/N heard the door open and close.
"Oh! Sebby's finally home!" Robin sprang out of her chair and left to greet her son. Y/N, Maru and Demetrius soon followed after. When Y/N's eyes found Sebastian Y/N's heart rate went up. If you listened closely, you could here the beating of a heart against a rib cage.
"How's was your day? What did you do? Did you have fun?" Robin was always happy to see her son. Sebastian removed the hood from his head and took a deep breath.
"My day was just like every other day." He scanned the room and his eyes slightly widened when spotting you.
"What are you doing here this late? Shouldn't you be home by now?"
"I could say the same for you young man." Demetrius commented. Sebastian's face has an irritated look. He shook his head, then turned to the door.
"I'm going out for a while." Sebastian said.
"But you just got back!" Maru exclaimed.
"And now I'm leaving." And just like that he walked back outside into the cold. Demetrius sighed and Robin had a sad look on her face.
"I'll go talk to him." Y/N said and soon followed Sebastian outside. Y/N spotted him at the same place he is every night. At the side of the lake.
Sebastian said nothing as he took out a cigarette, and stood in the cold. Y/N approached him and stood next to him, only hearing the sound of the wind and the occasional owl.
"It's pretty cold out huh?" Y/N asked.
"Doesn't bother me."
"R-Right." A good minute passed before Y/N once again broke the silence.
"Sebastian? I have a gift for you." Sebastian's head turned to Y/N as the scarf was pulled out.
"I know you say that the cold doesn't affect you, but I made it for you." Sebastian stared at it for a while before taking it from Y/N's hands before feeling it and giving it back.
"You're right. I don't need it." Y/N's heart sank. Why would he say something like that?
"B-But it took me so long to make. And I'm not just going to throw it out."
"Then just use it for yourself. Don't waste time on someone like me."
"But that's why I made it. I thought of you. I always think about you." His eyebrows went up after hearing Y/N say that. Y/N's face immediately went cherry red.
"Aahh! Forget I said that! I didn't say anything!" Sebastian put out his cigarette and turned away his back to you.
"Don't have thoughts like that. You shouldn't like someone like me." Y/N looked confused.
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Because you could...you could do so much better than me." Y/N's eyes started to water.
"I'm not the best looking guy out there. I live in my parents basement. I don't have many friends. My parents favor my sister more than me. Hell, I can't even go out in public without wanting to go back home. I would just be a burden to you." Y/N noticed Sebastian's frame slightly tremble. Y/N frowned and spoke up.
"There's nothing you could do that would make me think less of you." That's when Y/N stepped forward and wrapped their arms around his body. Sebastian slightly gasped at the sudden warm feeling.
"I fell for you. Everyone has their flaws and I don't judge people because of them. I look at their pros and you have a lot of them." Sebastian turned his body to face Y/N. Tears ran down Sebastian's face. Y/N placed their hands on his face and wiped his tears away with their thumbs.
"Hey Y/N, can I try on that scarf?"
"Of course bassy."
"Huh...that's a new nickname."
"You don't like it?"
"I don't have a problem with it. But only if you call me it. No one else can." Sebastian put on the scarf and snuggled his face in it.
"Oh...maybe it is a little cold." Sebastian let out a little chuckle, which made Y/N smile.
"Aren't you cold too Y/N? "
"A little."
"Well, it looks like this scarf can hold two." Sebastian then wrapped the scarf around both of their necks.
"Thanks bassy."
"No problem. Now, shall we go back inside?"
"Shouldn't I be getting home?"
"Mom won't mind if you stayed over. Between you and me, she thinks you're part of the family." Sebastian and Y/N both walked back to the house hand in hand.
They were both excited to see where this relationship would go.
