Can I request Sebek with an S/O who is very soft spoken? Like, she has trouble being heard and even her "loud" voice would be considered quiet by most people?
How would Sebek act if his partner's voice was very soft, and it was very difficult to be heard?
Sorry for making this so extense, everyone with two eyes can see that Sebek is my fav and I wanted to give him the one shot he deserved, I love him very much, enjoy it <3
Ever since he'd met you, Sebek had had difficulty listening to you.
Not because he didn't want to, but because your voice was so low that the surrounding noise often drowned out your words. At first, this frustrated him. How could anyone communicate if they spoke so slowly and quietly! It wasn't that he doubted your abilities, but in his opinion, words should be spoken firmly to demonstrate presence.
However, over time, his view began to change. He discovered that your soft voice held a special charm.
Every word you spoke, even if soft, was full of meaning. You didn't say much, but when you did, your words were sincere and profound. He learned to read you in other ways: in the way you tilted your head when you were thoughtful, in the way your eyes sparkled when you were excited, or in the way your lips trembled when you wanted to say something but were afraid to interrupt.
Sebek, who used to interrupt and raise his voice without realizing it, began to pause. He began to wait, to listen to you attentively. When you were together, he lowered his voice a little, though he didn't realize it. He leaned slightly toward you to catch every word you said, and if someone interrupted, his withering glare was enough to silence them and let you speak.
For example, one day, the classroom buzzed with the sound of conversations, laughter, and the occasional argument about the week's homework.
In the midst of it all, you tried to ask the person sitting next to you a question, but as always, your voice was lost in the noise.
"Could you repeat that?" Deuce said, frowning as he tried to hear you.
You took a breath and tried to raise your voice, but before you could…
"MY BELOVED WAS SPEAKING! SHOW SOME RESPECT!"
The boom of Sebek's voice reverberated off the walls like thunder, causing everyone to instantly fall silent. Even Crewel paused for a moment to see what was happening.
Your cheeks burned as you felt the entire class's attention on you.
"Sebek…" you whispered, wishing the ground would swallow you up.
"Speak up! Now everyone will listen to you properly!" he exclaimed proudly, crossing his arms.
Some students rolled their eyes and returned to their conversations, but others still looked at you curiously, as if waiting for you to say something worthy of such a huge interruption.
"It wasn't that important…" you muttered, lowering your gaze.
Sebek snorted.
"Everything you say is important! If others don't listen to you, then they're the ones at fault!"
You didn't know how to respond to that, but the class continued without further interruptions. Still, for the rest of the day, whenever you tried to speak and someone wasn't listening, Sebek would jump in without hesitation.
In the cafeteria. In the hallway. Even in the library (where he was almost thrown out for his scandal).
Finally, as you walked back to Ramshackle together, you decided to speak.
"Sebek…" you whispered, gently tugging at his sleeve.
He stopped in his tracks and looked at you with full attention, as if whatever you were about to say was a direct order from Lord Malleus himself.
"You don't have to shout every time I want to say something…" you said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Of course I do!" he retorted, determination shining in his eyes. "If the others won't listen to you, then it's my duty to make sure they do!"
You sighed.
"But… I don't like everyone looking at me when you do it."
Sebek opened his mouth to argue, but closed it immediately.
He looked at you with a frown, as if processing your words. For a moment, you couldn't tell if he was outraged or confused.
"So…" he began, less confidently than usual. "Would you rather I did nothing?"
You shook your head.
"It's not that. Just… you listening to me is enough."
The silence stretched between you.
Sebek looked at you seriously, his green eyes shining with something different than their usual overflowing passion. Then, as if understanding something important, he nodded solemnly.
"If that's what you wish… then I will do it."
And he did.
From that day on, whenever you were in a group and your voice was lost among the others, Sebek didn't interrupt with a deafening shout.
Instead, he leaned his head toward you, making sure his ears caught every word.
When he noticed you wanted to speak, he gave you the space to do so, waiting patiently for you to express yourself at your own pace.
Even in moments of silence, if he noticed you wanted to say something but didn't dare, he'd simply whisper, "I'm listening."
And with that, you knew you didn't need to shout. That for him, your voice was enough.
One day, as you walked through the school hallways together, you stopped to say something, but at that moment, a group of students walked by, talking loudly, completely drowning out your words. Despite this, Sebek knew you'd tried to speak.
"Wait a minute!" he exclaimed. He turned to you with his characteristic energy. "You said something, I know! Say it again!"
You smiled a little, a faint blush rising to your cheeks.
"Today… today the weather is beautiful."
Sebek blinked, processing the simplicity of the sentence. Then, with his serious but bright-eyed expression, he nodded firmly.
"That's right! The weather is nice, but you have to be prepared for any sudden changes!"
The way Sebek took your every word seriously, no matter how simple, made you feel seen. Heard.
And that made you the happiest girlfriend in the world.
Yeah sure I'll sexualize that fictional man, it's 5 o'clock somewhere
A hero at heart ❤️🔥
