Chapter 12: I'll do it Myself

Chapter 12: I'll do it Myself

Sep 02, 2025

I thought the one who won the auction would take you out on a date?! Teo thought to himself while eating breakfast. Teo glared daggers at innocent Sebastian at the table while he was eating.

"Teo, dear, what's the matter?" Anselma asked, worried. Teo looked like he was about to go to war.

Teo forgot that others were with them at the table "O-Oh! Nothing Auntie, the food is really great!" He held his spoon up and ate the food in it. Then Teo glared at Sebastian again while eating.

Is he staring at me?! Sebastian panicked and tried to ignore it but he was glaring holes in his face, it was hard to ignore.

♡♡♡

Teo sighs as he brews coffee. He sighs as he cleans the tables. He sighs as he takes someone's order. He sighs as he rests in the staff room.

"THAT'S IT!" Laurent slammed the door open in the staff room "You've been down all day! Out with it!" Laurent held Teo's mouth and moved it as if Teo was the one talking.

Teo pushed Laurent away and wiped his mouth. He sighs once again "What?" and gets away from Laurent with a dour face.

"Really? Come on" Laurent followed him, pestering him about it "Come on!" He leaned even closer, their faces touching each other. He’s so nosy, he has to know.

"Fine!!" Teo stopped, getting away from Laurent once again "Sebastian hasn't asked me out on a date yet okay?!" He felt silly for even saying that. He physically recoiled and plopped on the sofa “UGH! Don’t tease me!”

Laurent burst out laughing "HUWAT?" Even holding his stomach from laughing too hard.

"The auction Laurent!!" Teo glared at him "You're supposed to go out right?" He furrowed his brows as he sat down properly.

Laurent kept laughing and laughing, slapping his thighs as he laughs even louder "Yeah, I did go out, it was fun, they were a nice person" 

"Arrrrghghhh" Teo grabbed a throw pillow and covered his face. He screamed at it.

"Just ask him out yourself" 

Teo threw the pillow at Laurent and stared at him in disbelief "He's the one who paid!! He should ask me!" He pouted.

♡♡♡

As soon as Sebastian enters the cafe, Teo begins to stare at him. Up until he walked up to the cash register. Teo glared daggers at him as he orders and he's still scowling while Sebastian sits down on his usual spot. 

Do I have something on my face? Sebastian asked himself and tried to brush every side of his blushing face. His heart was racing, wondering why Teo keeps staring at him.

"So you're just gonna stare at him the whole time?" Laurent asked, his presence surprised Teo “That’s not going to work”

"I'm not staring" Teo said, trying to act cool "Let me work" He pushed Laurent’s face aside.

♡♡♡

Teo scanned the whole room, making sure Laurent wasn't there. He carefully jogged towards Sebastian, Let's do this!

Teo sits in front of Sebastian, staring at him angrily.

"H-Hey Teo" Sebastian nervously put his drink down and thought. He's been doing this all day… Does he want something from me? I hope he does, I hope he keeps staring.

"Why haven't we gone out?" Teo asked with a sigh, he felt so silly asking that but still, his eyes were glued to Sebastian. His face was heating up.

Sebastian felt chills, he should be happy that Teo asked that but he was just so scary that it made him flinch "I-I thought you didn't want to go out with me" 

Teo stood up with a blush and slammed the table with one hand "Of course I do! I-It's only fair because you paid that money" He averted his gaze, even his neck is getting redder. His brows were furrowed.

Sebastian pursed his lips, stopping himself from smiling widely "Then this Sunday?!" But he couldn’t hide his excitement, he stood up too and faced Teo.

"O-Okay! Sunday it is" Teo smiled apologetically, finally calming down, it was that easy to resolve this. He walked away with two hands covering his face "I can't believe I did that. What the fuck is wrong with me?”

He asked me out? Sebastian thought as he sat back down again. He creepily giggled to himself as he sipped on his drink rapidly.

♡♡♡

Sebastian quickly grabbed his phone to tell Laurent the news via messages to which he replied to immediately, saying Teo’s usually straightforward so he didn’t get how he hesitated asking Sebastian.

"Really?" Sebastian muttered to himself, zipping his jacket up to his neck to hide his embarrassment "I always thought he was shy… Was he only shy because it was me?"

♡♡♡

When are they gonna get together? Seriously. Laurent sighs to himself as he turns his phone off. He shakes his head in frustration. He left there on purpose so Teo would finally talk to Sebastian about his woes. It was a success.

Teo opened the door, hurriedly stomped towards the sofa and gripped Laurent's shoulders while he was sitting down "I asked him out! What should I do?!" 

"S-Stop s-shaking me" Laurent muttered, pinching Teo’s arms, making him stop "Where are you going?" 

"I-I'm so nervous!!" Teo ruffled his own hair and buried his face on the sofa as he knelt down on the floor "I don't know… Maybe I was too hasty… What have I done? He’s going to think I’m weird" 

Laurent placed two fingers on his chin "I bet Sebastian has a plan already" He stroked Teo’s hair and pulled it “And why would he think you’re weird? Huh?!”

"What? Oww, stop pulling my hair!" Teo stood up and asked but Laurent shrugged him off and told him not to worry about a thing.

♡♡♡

Teo is lying down on his bed, he just got home from the bar "Only a few days before Sunday…" He gushed and rolled around his bed. He was too giddy.

What will I wear? Casual? Formal? Teo stood up and rummaged through his closet for clothes “Oh! Those clothes he bought me… He seemed to like that… It’s casual though” He spoke to himself.

Meanwhile, Sebastian is in front of Teo's door, hesitating to knock, he thinks, Should I tell him I have somewhere in mind already?... Sebastian is pacing in front of Teo's door, sheepish "I'm just going to text him…" He decides and enters his own room again to shoot Teo a message.

As if waiting, Teo replied in a split second, making Sebastian’s heart skip a beat.

He replied immediately. Was he waiting? Sebastian held his chest and felt his heart beating. I like him so much, what do I do? I might not be able to control myself at this rate…

"Right… What should I wear?" Sebastian is in front of his closet but he has no idea so he grabbed his phone and texted someone for advice. His older sister, asking for outfit recommendations.

It was finally Sunday, Teo went out of his room and coincidentally Sebastian did too at the same time. 

"Oh!" Both reacted bashfully. They quietly went down the stairs together. Both were anxious and blushing. It was a silent walk down the stairs.

"Seb, honey, going out?" Anselma asked and went to go see them in the living room "Teo, you too?" She was in the kitchen but heard their footsteps.

Both are fidgeting and trying not to make eye contact as much as possible.

"Yeah, I'm taking the car," Sebastian said, Teo looked at him, this is going to be the first time that Teo sees Sebastian driving.

"You're both not going to eat lunch first?" Anselma asked and the two nodded "Alright then, take care both of you!" Anselma had no idea that they were going together.

♡♡♡

They're both inside the car and Teo is so afraid to move or even breathe. It was a bit awkward for the both of them. They had the same thought in mind.

Is this a real date?

Sebastian Martin, an introverted recluse and a plain coward, has finally been given another chance at love. With his failure to confess or even get close to his one and only crush, the genius and tough Teo Pascal when they were in high school, he became even more closed off, not liking anybody after that.

Even with all his wishing and hoping, Sebastian never saw Teo again after high school, not even his shadow. Still, he waited and prayed, and at long last after several years later, the universe finally decided to hear his desperate pleas.

Teo Pascal, though revered by the recluse Sebastian, doesn’t think he’s all that at all. Realizing they’re in two completely different worlds apart, he tries to keep his distance from him.

Two guys. One roof. An unexpected happenstance that seemed to favor Sebastian has arrived. A chance finally, only for him to realize that he’s not the only coward one.
