Months had gone by and the two were finally official as of Sebastian's announcement on his social medias that he finally had done what he meant to do the day he met Niklaus. Chris Evans was ecstatic when he'd been notified by his best friend and even celebrated with them through a video call.

All in all, everything was going good for the two of them even though there were some clashes of schedules, but they'd managed.

Everybody saw the chemistry between the two whenever they were in the same room and they couldn't help but admire it.

The black haired girl was undoubtedly just as in love as that blue eyed boy.

They said.. And god were they so right.

Niklaus' P.O.V.

" We're offering you a job that will change the route of your career into something more than you've ever imagined a scientist could go these centuries. You're a shot to revolutionize the world as new, Niklaus. That's why we're choosing you for this program.Think of it as a promotion."

The head director of the facility I work for was offering me something I couldn't refuse. It was a whole new field of work that I'd get to lead and my thesis was actually proven so I get to give a demonstration to an elite group of genius scientists that I'd never believe I was part of until today.

The only downside to the whole thing was that I'm going to have to move to a little town in Russia called Arkhyz. Which is thousands of miles away from my place right now.

Sebastian said he's going to drop by after training and I just have to wait 20 minutes before I tell him the news in person. I've told Chris over the phone and he said he was happy for the promotion and he even kidded that it was the next step for a Kalinger Prize or Wolf Prize in Chemistry.

I was walking around my apartment trying to find my black aperture hoodie when the expected knock on the door sounded from the hall. I get out of my room, forgetting the hoodie for a moment to open the door for Bas.

I twist the doorknob and pull the door open where I was greeted by a sweaty Sebastian with his gray shirt sticking on his skin making an outline of every intricate detail of his body. He ran his free hand through his soaked hair , giving me a shy smile.

"I'd hug you right now but I'm soaked in my own sweat." I make way for him and close the door as he gets in.

"I got good news." I couldn't help but crack a giddy smile as a try to keep a straight face. The excitement and the rush was just too much to contain that I didn't at all think of any other possible reaction from Sebastian.

"Oh god what is it you look really happy. Care to share?" His mood matched mine and he listened intently. I thought it was going pretty well so I continued.

"I get to work in Russia! But I have to stay in to do some work with Charles Lieber maybe Omar Yaghi and all that, I also have to pack and oh no i also have to give a notice before moving out and-" I was rambling out of eagerness. I didn't see Sebastian's face goes blank half way through. he breathed out a monotone 'what?'.

"I got offered a whole new route for my work ! It will radically change science forever and im so excited !" I look at him and his face was illegible.
Taking a pause, I take a step towards him and his expression doesn't change.

I take one of his hands in mine and rub circles on it.

"Hey, are you alright?"

Nothing. No words. No reaction.

Sebastian's P.O.V.

It felt like I got shot. I couldn't move or form any words after hearing that she's leaving without second thoughts. I mean that sounded selfish of me. She's not something I own and she has a respectable job that benefits the world, but she's leaving and I can't go with her because I have a job too.

Which is here. I'm supposed to stay here.

I turn my head to her. She looked at me with so much concern and I felt like I was being a douchebag for being unresponsive.

"I-"

"You're leaving me...?"

And that's it.

That was all I could say and It sounds so needy because I have no right to be mad or to complain about her decision to make her life better.

"What? I'm not... Iubito. "She gasps. It's  like she was only realizing what she's about to do and everything came crashing down. Her eyes were wide and she covers her mouth with her hand. She looks like she was about to fall.

"I'm so sorry, Sebastian I didn't think-"

"You didn't think about it. I get it. Don't be sorry" I put my hands on her shoulders and sit her down on her couch.

I sit next to her, with an arm around her, pulling her close to me.

She looked miserable. It was like being told someone close to you just died.

You just couldn't keep that to yourself.

Pure guilt was, of course, making an appearance in my head. Regretting how I somehow guilted her into being reminded that she has something that she'd be leaving, but has no other choice.

I felt her shift and shrug off my arm, followed by silent sobs.

"I'm so fucking stupid. Why didn't I thi-. Sebastian, I can't leave you! The whole thing will take years and I don't know when I'm going to ever see you again!" She was crying and It just ripped my heart out of my chest. She never cries.

Trust me on this. I've watched chick flicks, dying dog movies and sad videos off of the internet with her; All of that, she kept in control of herself.

She hurls her arms around my neck, crying on my shoulder.

I pull her closer by her back, whispering comforting things into her ear to calm her down and we stay that way.

"You're not stupid... Shushhh.. Don't put this on yourself... It's for the best. It's for you...you love what you do.. "

The image itself was something in my life I've never wanted to see; Niklaus' broken sobs and how vulnerable she looked. She was so happy to tell me the news with passion and excitement over a new adventure twinkling in her eyes. Such simple realization took that away and I was the one to trigger that.

Dick move, Sebastian.

Dick move.

You deserve the ache in your heart right now.

I kept that in mind.

She cried and cried and the sky cried with her. Suddenly the whole room was so sullen.

I hold her tightly in my arms, not noticing how some tears made their way out of my own eyes and started uncontrollably falling on her shirt.

" Te iubesc, dragă. Vă rugăm să se calmeze, copilul . Vă rog. Vă rugăm să nu plânge . Sunt Aici."

I mumbled against the crook of her neck.

"I love you ,dear. Please calm down, darling. Please. Please don't cry. I'm here."
