Work Text:
Seb had been experimenting of late.
At first they had just decided to shorten their name. Seb would do. Just Seb. Simple and easy.
Then they had decided to explore clothes and one of the first things they had ever bought was a simple plain camisole. They wanted to try it out and see how it felt on them. See if it felt right.
They had at some point tried out a bra, but the straps had felt too tight and they had felt way too restricted. That idea had lasted all of five minutes.
But a simple camisole top felt right. It felt good on their skin and the tiny pretty pattern of lace at the top was beautiful. It felt good to explore like this.
Seb starts wearing the top to bed, after they had shown Kimi and he had given his approval on it. Kimi liked the simple fabric and enjoyed running his hands under it to touch his partner's skin. Kimi always told Seb how perfect they were. He never missed a chance to.
When Seb gets more confident within themself, Kimi decides to treat his partner.
One evening over dinner at home, Kimi produces a paper bag and hands it to Seb.
Seb is confused at first but then opens the bag and lets out a little soft gasp.
There inside the bag is a beautiful flowery camisole and a matching flowing skirt.
"You looked so happy in the camisole that I just couldn't resist this when I saw it. I thought you'd like it." Kimi murmurs, meeting the German's gaze with soft affection in his eyes.
"Kimi…this…I.." Seb removes the camisole top, allowing themself to feel the fabric with their fingers. It's good quality. Obviously from a high end store.
"If it's too much I understand, Sebby. But I just thought that since your other camis made you happy, I'd get you something special." Kimi's voice is soft and loving.
Seb feels tears prickle their eyes and they look over at Kimi, overwhelmed by the Finn's love.
"If you feel ready, how about a fashion show?" The Finn asks gently, moving out of his chair to kneel next to Sebastian. He takes their hand gently. "I want to see how beautiful my partner is."
Seb sniffs and gives a soft nod. "Okay…okay I will try it on."
Kimi flashes them a warm smile and gets up, nodding to the bedroom.
Seb rolls their eyes and gets up, heading upstairs quickly knowing Kimi's hungry gaze was on them.
In the bathroom, Seb pauses at their reflection in the mirror. They look this way and that before they remove their shirt and take the flowered Camisole from the bag. They look it over and then slide it on over their body, taking a moment to feel how good the fabric is against their skin.
Next comes the skirt and Seb removes it and gives it a quizzical look, wondering if Kimi had got the measurements right.
When they try it on it seems to fit like a glove and they cannot help tearing up again. Kimi knew exactly what they needed. Right down to sizes.
They think about it for a moment. Wondering how they got so lucky with someone who supported their gender expression and identity. It makes warmth flood them. Kimi loved them so much it sometimes made Seb's head spin with the knowledge.
They take one last appreciative look in the mirror before heading downstairs to face Kimi.
Kimi is waiting for them at the bottom of the stairs and the heart eyes the Finn gives Seb makes the world shift in beautiful warm colours.
Kimi holds out his hand and Seb takes it, grinning at the way Kimi looks them over.
"So?" Kimi asks, voice soft and soothing as his hands gently rest on Seb's waist. His fingers rest on the patch of warm skin between the camisole and the skirt.
"It feels good." Seb whispers, eyes soft and warm. "I feel like me."
"Good." Kimi says gently. "That's all I want. You comfortable in your own skin. You look amazing."
Sebastian gives him a warm smile and then leans in to kiss him, soft and sweet.
Kimi returns it. His hands tracing a familiar path up under the edge of the camisole and the colours Seb sees shifts into brilliant golds.
Kimi saw them for them. Not for genders or labels or complicated feelings. But for who they were and always would be.
Seb had found the one.
