How Long Do We Live For? - Remastered

“You need to rest.” Hermione told him.

“What about dad?” Arth it asked. “What about you?”

“We will both be fine.”

Audrina looked at them all. "You all need to rest. Every single one of you. No one is going anywhere today, we're all having a family day here at the house. Arthur, you're welcome to call Michelle and invite her if you like but otherwise I want us all here together." She looked between them all.

Chelsea nodded. "I'll go fix breakfast.."

“Haven’t had one of those in a while.” Hermione told her as she joined her.

Arthur nodded and he got himself up making a quick call to Michelle to see if she wanted to join.

Michelle readily agreed and said she would be right over and that no one needed to cook anything she would bring it over from the restaurant.

Audrina smiled softly. "Good. We can watch movies and just be a family. Sebastian that includes you too."

Sebastian seemed slightly stunned at that comment, he didn’t expect them to think of him as family.

Hermione nodded as Arthur relayed the message to Audrina. “The more food the better.” Hermione reminded him.

Audrina smiled softly and nodded in agreement. "You are with Chelsea now, are you not?" she asked, seeing the look on Sebastian's face.

Chelsea looked at Bastian. "You're not leaving.. are you?"

“I mean I’m not exactly family right?” He seemed pretty uncomfortable and nervous with the situation as apart from sleeping together they never actually said they were together.

"Well no, not technically but neither is Michelle and she's coming to be with Arthur.." she told him.

“Did you actually tell him that you two were together?” Hermioke asked her niece.

Sebastian bodded. “Good point.”

Chelsea smiled softly at him, reaching to squeeze his hand. "I won't make you stay if you're not comfortable, Bast.. but.. I want you to." She told him, looking at her aunt. "We haven't.. exactly gotten to that point yet."

He squeezed her hand. “I’ll stay if you want.”

Hermione smiled softly she could see how much he loved Chelsea.

She nodded, gently tugging his hand so he would come into the kitchen with her.

He followed her

Once in the kitchen, Chelsea began to take things out to start cook for everyone even though Michelle was going to be bringing food as well. "I'm not really being very fair to you, am I?"

“In what way?” He asked as he leant against the counter

"You're giving me everything. Every bit of yourself.. doing everything for me.. and.. I'm doing nothing." She was right back at square one again with her thoughts.

He raised an eyebrow. “What’s started this?” He asked

"Are you really happy like this?"

“Chelsea I’ve got no idea what you mean.” He told her.

She sighed softly. "This," she gestured between them. "Like my aunt said.. without a label between us. Is that really fair to you."

He looked to her. “What are we?” He asked her. “What do you want us to be? Do you want us to just be friends? Do you want friends with benefits? Do you want a relationship?” He asked before he thought for a minute. “Do you still love Arthur?” He asked quietly.

She stopped what she was doing and looked at him. "I don't think we're just friends, Bastian." That much was obvious, there was something between them. "I- I'm always going to love him. He's my brother."

“You know that’s not what I meant.” He told her. “I know you’ll always love him, that I’m okay with, but I need to know if there’s going to be a time where you’re in bed with ne but thinking of your love for Arthur.” He told her. “Because that is something that I wouldn’t be able to deal with.” He told her truthfully. In reality he had already told her that he was in love with her and that hadn’t changed, he loved her more than he had loved anyone that much was certain but he needed to know if she even felt slightly the same about him.

"No, it's not like that. It's never been like that. You're who is on my mind, Bastian. I know my head is messed up and I'm not doing things right but I'm trying."

“Then where do you want this to go?” He asked her. “Because if we are doing cards on the table here, I love you.” He told her. “I’ve been in love with you since we were kids.”
