“Did I?” he asked dryly, not bothering to look at her as he confirmed her suspicions.
He was evil.
“Yes, you did,” Mikey said with a firm nod, raising the arm that weighed a ton at the moment and gestured for him to get on with it.
“But I never said when,” Sebastian drawled as Mikey moved on to the intimidation phase and-
“Someone grab Campbell!”
-tried not to panic when two sets of hands grabbed hold of her ankles and started dragging her away.
“Wait! I wasn’t done intimidating him!” Mikey yelled, struggling to grab hold of the grass to stop them as she glanced back and-
Did…Did he just wink at her?
“This isn’t over!”

“Why doesMikey look like she wants to kill you?” Cole asked as they watched Mikey hold up her glove, waiting for the return of the ball as she glared at him.
“I bring out the best in her,” Sebastian said with a heartfelt sigh as he tossed a handful of popcorn in his mouth.
“Is that why she’s mumbling, ‘evil bastard’?” Jessica asked as she helped herself to some of his popcorn.
“Probably,” Sebastian said, unable to help but smile, especially when she narrowed her eyes on him and looked like she was seconds away from leaving the mound so that she could climb into the stands and beat the hell out of him.
So freaking adorable, Sebastian thought with a satisfied sigh as he watched her visibly struggle to look away and get her head back in the game. He watched as she slowly exhaled, shifted her leg back, raised her arm and-
“Strike two!”
“I think she’s channeling all of that murderous rage into the game,” Elizabeth said, sounding thoughtful as she shoved her little brother out of his seat.
“You could have just asked me to move!” Joshua bit out, only to follow that up with a grumble when Cole reached over and stole his Coke.
“Why exactly is she pissed at you?” Elizabeth asked as she handed him the rest of her hot dog so that she could steal his popcorn.
“Because I’m destroying her will to live,” Sebastian said, watching as Mikey held up her glove for the ball as her cold gaze once again found him.
“Do you really think that’s a good idea?” Jessica asked as they watched Mikey focus back on the batter, shift her weight back as she pulled back her arm and-
“Strike three! That’s game!”
-took out the last batter seconds before her murderous glare once again found him as she tore her glove off her hand and started making her way towards the stands, that murderous glare never leaving him.
“I think it’s a great idea,” Sebastian said, releasing a satisfied sigh as he stood up, watching as she narrowed her eyes on the move and decided that it was time to put all of those extra laps to good use and made a run for it.
“Wait! I have tiny legs!”

She wasn’t goingto hurt him, Mikey promised herself even as she watched his every move, ensuring that he knew exactly how close he was to ending up another statistic. She watched as he made his way around the Fire & Brimstone, filling glasses and seemingly oblivious to the dangers that waited for him at the table in the back corner.
She didn’t want it to come to this, but he’d pushed her too far, tormenting her with his vague promises of spoiling her, refusing to answer her questions, and leaving her with no choice but to bring her intimidation skills to the next level. She-
“Why are you glaring at Sebastian?” her mother asked as she scooped more macaroni and cheese onto the boys’ plates.
