Sebastian

The sound of sirens somewhere in the distance merged with the frantic beating of your heart. You stood in the middle of an empty hall, and he stood opposite, a step away from you. Sebastian was breathing heavily, clenching his fists as if he was holding back something much stronger than just anger.

“You know you shouldn’t be here,” his voice was low, hoarse. There was anger in it, but even more so, there was bitterness.

You darted to the side, trying to get your gun. He reacted instantly: he intercepted you, pressed you against the wall, but did it carefully - without unnecessary pain. His hand closed on your wrist, only to stop you. His face was dangerously close. Forehead to forehead. Breathing mixed.

“Why are you making this more difficult?” he whispered, barely touching your temple with his lips. There was weariness in his voice. And regret.

You saw the struggle in his eyes, almost physical. He wanted to stay. He wanted to take you with him. But time was ticking. The mission was underway.

"I don't want to hurt you," he said quietly. "But I will if I have to."

You felt his fingers slide softly across your cheek, too gentle for an enemy. He closed his eyes for a moment, as if soaking up the last chance to be close.

“I’m sorry,” Sebastian whispered.

And before you could say anything, he pushed you aside sharply, so that you fell to the floor, losing seconds to recover. And he himself took off from his place, disappearing into the darkness of the corridor, to where his target was waiting for him. To where there was no longer any room for feelings.
