Sebastian stood outside, back against the wall of Sly Corps. with a cigarette in hand. He'd never taken up the habit, but he decided he would just try it out today. Cigarettes always seemed to bring Daniel satisfaction and it seemed as though Sebastian had nothing better to do. Maybe his cousin was right. He pinched the bridge of his nose. Just the thought of Daniel gave him a migraine.
His cousin had been pestering him non-stop about some online dating site called minute or something, claiming his life was dull and unworthy of living. Sebastian scoffed. "My life is just fine ." It wasn't just his cousin, but also his older brother and his best friend. They both told him to become more disengaged from his company and go find someone. He felt he did not need the help of a computer nor the comfort of a partner to keep him 'happy'. He was as happy as one could get.
He was rich, he had a nice family, and he was also next in line to inherit the Sly Corps and the TTD Co. He never needed for anything and was admired by many. Everything was fine in his eyes, so why bother? ...though he did hate coming home to an empty house when the day was over. He much rather preferred to stay the night at the company.
He'd never been with anybody before. Not because he couldn't get anyone, as a matter of fact Sly Sebastian was very attractive and could get just about anyone he desired, but he never layed eyes on anyone whom he felt was worth perusing. Sebastian let out a sigh and brought the cigarette up to his lips, lighting the tip..
"Ya' know, it's not good to smoke."
Sebastian frowned and faced the direction the familiar voice was cast from. His eyes landed on a slick haired, brown eyed male dressed in a checkered navy blue suit. Aiden King, the owner of King Royal'e Corps and founder of J.U.C.N Co. Sebastian graced the smiling face with the return of an uninterested gaze. "Yeah? Well, I need one with you around." Aiden nodded towards Sebastian.
"Is this your way of proving to us that you're trying something new?" Aiden chuckled. "This is not what we meant Sebastian." A slight scowl found its way onto Sebastian's face. "I'm not doing this for anyone. I just feel like smoking." Honestly. People loved to bother him, didn't they?
"...Do you need to talk about it? You really shouldn't be taking up smoking."
Sebastian laid his head back against the wall and closed his eyes. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion on what he should and shouldn't do. It didn't register in their minds that it was his life and he could do with it what he pleased. If he wanted to jump off a bridge it would be his choice, not theirs. "There's nothing to talk about." At this, Aiden raised a curious brow. He then stood back against the wall beside Sebastian. "..Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Sebastian then eyed Aiden. "No. Why?"
"Well... Maxwell and I are going out with a few friends and we thought it'd be fitting for you to tag along."
Sebastian nodded and then reclosed his eyes. "I have work at the company."
"Swear. That's your answer to everything."
Sebastian sighed in irritation. "You act as though I'm anti-social." Aiden lowered his eyelids at Sebastian. "Am I not your only friend?"
"That doesn't mean I'm anti-social. I socialize with people on a daily basis for the sake of my company-"
"It's not the same-"
"-and I don't feel like taking up that Minute site just because you agree with Daniel. I don't need it."
"...It's called Mid-kiss."
"Whatever the hell it's called."
"You should at least try it out, Sebastian. You're guaranteed to find someone on there who matches your... special kind of personality. I've had cousins-"
"Aiden, leave me alone."
Sebastian went back inside the company and went up to his office, locking the door behind him. He then sat in his chair, put out his cigarette and tossed it into the bin next to his desk. With a brief sigh, he typed his password into the laptop screen and began to check on the status of the company, finding a few things he'd have to look into tomorrow. He also saw that he had a few upcoming meetings with a few other big businesses and a few he'd never heard of.
"Must be new.."
After Sebastian was done, he sat back in his chair and looked up to the ceiling. Why did people feel the need to socialize with people outside of the place they worked? All it did was bring unnecessary people into your life that either pry into your business or backstab you, so why bother with it? Why take the risk? Sebastian stared at the ceiling a little longer before looking back to his laptop. What was so intriguing about it?
"..."
..Maybe he could find out.. He moved forward in his seat, letting his fingers hover over the keys and bit his lip in thought. He then sat back in his chair. Was he seriously thinking of going through with this? Nothing good could ever come out of this. He let out a sigh. "Why does everyone want me to find someone so bad?" He ran his right hand through his black locks as he stared at the laptop in front of him.
He hated how often people bugged him about it. He continued contemplating the bothersome choice a few minutes longer before coming to a decision. Well, if he tried it and didn't like it, everyone would stop bothering him about it. He sat forward in his chair and typed in the URL of the website. The screen lit up with the revealing of the site. Sebastian groaned at the overuse of affectionate photos and hearts.
"Typical."
