Small Children Should Not Be Left Unattended When Bored

''Not making fun or anything'', Sebastian said as he finally sat up straight on the couch, crossing his legs beneath him as he did so, and making himself comfortable once more. He realised suddenly how much he actually enjoyed this, a conversation, people, even though people were currently just a person actually. He had forgotten, really forgotten, how interesting it all could be. A bit of teasing especially, though it was a given he wouldn't use his powers on anybody any more, especially not now when he was in a middle of learning how to control them and everything and anything he did them was a dangerous wild card.

''Most of my high school years had been spent either using Seduction, my power,'', he explained, knowing that the other man might get confused otherwise, ''on various straight, or closeted, boys around the school. What time I had left after that was sued to charm my teachers into extending my deadlines, considering I really didn't have time to get much work done, did I?'', he laughed, carefully eyeing Adam's reaction. Was he one of those straight boys, those who would blush then get angry and ready to hit and fight as soon as they realised what they had done for some, for them, completely unimaginable reason? No, he thought as Adam asked his next question, this one wasn't one of those. Well, there is nothing to making him feel a little bit safer though.

''I have a boyfriend now though, so you are safe'', he said in a way of finishing his story about his high school days before answering the next question. ''And yes. I have kissed a boy for the first time when I was... twelve or thirteen I think'', he said, frowning a bit as he tried to remember again. Things from so far away in the past always seemed a little blurry, despite 'so far away in the past' only being about seven years. ''Way before I figured out I had any sort of power. That happened around high school. And was quite fun'', he said, giving a giant, lazy grin to the other by as a finishing point of his speech.

''You perhaps'', Sebastian laughed as Adam raised his hands to defend himself. ''I myself am very much gay and very, very aware of it'', he said, stretching his legs in front of himself again as they were starting to tingle, threatening to fall asleep if he continued to sit on them.

''You're not'', he said after he was sufficiently stretched and comfortable again, though he had to control his voice and face carefully as he did so in order to make sure that his tone and smile stayed the same. ''Prying, that is. I don't mind talking about it.'' As long as it stays general, he thought to himself though. As long as it it shocking Adam with his conquests or explaining to him how his power worked, though it wasn't like he could tell him much about that. Anything more personal, he thought, and, well... He picked on one of the scales adoring still his skin, the one he didn't even have to look to know it was there at this point as it was almost automatic reaction to reach for and pick on it now when he was nervous. Like some people bite nails, he thought bitterly.

''As for how it works... I am not sure. I didn't exactly have somebody to explain it to me when I was young, and now I am more concerned with some other...aspects of my power'', like, for example, turning into a snake randomly, or not being able to turn his Seduction off once he did manage to get it on. ''So I'm not really sure. It just...is. Magnetic, just as you said'', giving the other man his moth charming smile. ''And yeah, that part works on everyone'', he nodded, remembering how as a child he could get away with almost anything, the maids and nannies his parents hired to look after him almost unable to say no to him and definitely unable to stay angry at him for long.

''Girls do nothing for me, though, never have, so I've never tried to use my powers further on one'', he hummed softly, wondering now, would it work on a girl? It might, it was not like Seduction was in any way under his control, the power being as wild as a wild animal. On the other hand, there would be no motivation on his part there, so it was just as probable that it would fail.

''And yeah, I guess I had bloomed a bit earlier than most, but well'', Sebastian said, laughing a little at 'tsh' coming from Adam, ''I guess it is just a part of who I am. Also, I have never very much about whether the other person actually liked me. I just... made what I wanted happen when I wanted it'', given, at one point most of those kisses have started to become part of bets, but before that it was the same. He never had the patience or the will to wait for others to come to him. Besides, in a high school setting where being gay was the same as being beaten or dead, who would have really come to him? No, it was much better if he made them come to him, and so he did, until it had eventually grown empty...and yeah, he was not going there right now, as he could already feel his skin prickling. Though that might just be the heath, he thought, frowning at the sleeve of his long-sleeved black shirt. It was definitely to hot to be wearing one, but he would rather have a heat stroke than allow anybody to see his skin right now.

Sebastian actually let a short, but warm and loud wave of laugher escape him when Adam suggested he would come to him of all people for romantic advice, his hand abandoning the quest it was currently on in order to be wrapped around his middle as he laughed while he waved the other through the air in a negative, declining gesture.

''Relationships?'', he said once the wave had died, though he was still grinning, no longer lazily, but somewhat amusedly. ''Not really, considering Hari is my first one. All the right places to touch and kiss on a man to drive him insane on the other hand? I'm an expert, feel free to ask me anything you want.''

He had a feeling though that Adam wouldn't, either because he would feel to awkward to ask him, or because he would be too awkward to ask a man out period. Or because the man was straight through and through and Sebastian just didn't see it. His judgement skills were biased, after all, as everybody acted as if they were attracted to men at least a little around him.

''I could relay your questions to my boyfriend though'', Sebastian said with a small amused huff. ''He is all about relationships'', he smiled fondly, remembering how Hari insisted on the title on boyfriends. He was not remembering the rest of that fiasco ever again in his life, but that, that was a fond memory.

''And never say things like that, my friend'', he said, his amusement growing by the second. ''Lest you end up in bed with your room-mate in a day.'' It was what happened to him after all, right? In a way.

''I don't know much about the city'', he said, shaking his head at Adam's question about comic books. ''But, yet again, I may relay your question to Hari. He's a book nerd, he'll list you every book store in town, probably. Off the top of his head too, probably'', he said, laughing yet again sharply but fondly.

''Hari is at his club'', Sebastian said, clicking his tongue in an irritated manner as he remembered yet again that his boyfriend was away and was very likely to stay that way for a few more hours. ''Work'', he corrected himself then, before frowning again. ''I am not exactly sure. I just know he is somewhere that is not our room and will be back in a few hours'', he finished in the end, shaking his head lightly, his light blond hair flying messily in every direction possible as he did so.

Well, he thought to himself as he raised the said head which was now surrounded by a much messier pale blond halo, at least the had a new friend to entertain himself with until Hari returned. And then he would introduce the said friend to a said boyfriend and watch them as they probably went on about books, he decided, as he smiled at Adam yet again.

''Don't be so sure. About either of those'', he said, before humming softly as he realised that he had pretty much shared his life story just now without actually getting anything in return. Not that he minded talking, really, in fact he enjoyed it but it would be nice to get to know Adam in return.

''What about you?'', Sebastian asked then, tilting his head. ''What brings you to the Academy of freakish and bizarre? We've already established it is not the pretty boy around here, though they are the best part in my opinion'', he said, his tone teasing but still slightly curious yet trying to not be overly so. He wanted to know, but he guessed that if Adam didn't want to share he would have to dig other things to talk about.

His frown grew somewhat deeper as he tried to remember what it was that he and his high school friends used to talk about besides betting on his powers.

''Not dumb at all'', Sebastian said, his whole exterior suddenly changing, the childish nature of his gestures now being all but gone, the lazy smiles and teasing looks suddenly replaced by a serious expression and a sharp focus. ''It sounds more to me like you were lucky'', he said, his voice deeper now than it was before when he made light of every conversation and teased Adam by talking about pretty boys and kisses. ''Had you had any other power you would have probably been dead'', the young man said, his blue eyes strangely focused on Adam's face as if he were appraising it. ''Almost like fate, isn't it?'', Sebastian asked, tilting his head slightly to the right, ''Everybody getting a power they need or deserve'', he added, humming softly to himself. ''Or something like that'', he added, before breaking into a smile yet again just as suddenly.

''And the scar isn't that bad, really'', he said, moving himself closer to Adam's personal space, though not really invading it yet, tracing the path of the scar through he air with his left without actually touching Adam's skin, as he used his right art to balance himself in order to not fall off the couch.

''It gives you an edge. A lot of men like that, you know'', he said, grinning yet again, his voice light and teasing, no trace of his sudden seriousness in it. ''Girls too, probably'', he added as if in the afterthought. It wasn't like he actually knew anything about girls and women and what they actually liked. ''Not that I know much about that'', he said, voicing that thought out loud as he finally moved back from the edge of Adam's personal space and back into his previous position on the couch.

''I don't know how bad are the others but...'', he said, his energy dropping slightly yet again, as his right hand covered his left wrist the sharpness of scales making itself known even through his shirt. ''Nobody's going to bother you about them here. I mean, there are a lot of people who have even weirder stuff growing on or from their body'', he tried to smile as brightly as before but failed. This sounded like something he should be saying to himself as well. Not that it would ever actually work on him. He still just wanted to get rid of his scales as fast as he possibly could. Adam had kept his scars willingly though, so it just might help him.

''I've seen people with both wings and horns. Scars are really considered somewhat of either mandatory or an accessory here'', that wasn't strictly true, he thought to himself, but he wouldn't be himself if he didn't exaggerate at least a bit.
