Seb: You and I have to team up and get Salvador to take a day off. And the three of us could do a day trip somewhere.

Seb: lmao I'm really not. It's all a part of growing up.

Seb: So, what are we doing this weekend?

Rebecca: I wouldn’t want you to.

Rebecca: You’re not cool enough to hang out with him, obviously 😂 His loss is our gain.

Rebecca: 😘😘😘

"Everyone looks amazing. You are the cream of the crop, of course. " He complimented his friend with a smile. "yeah, yeah. I think the interns are doing better now. There's this one intern who really wanted the job and has been trying hard to show their strengths. I like them. The other interns seem to be jealous of them. I'm not sure I'm catching all the vibes yet but I've some snobby Nepo babies and I've got some really working hard to stay with the station so it's interesting. Let's do brunch on Friday. I miss you so much and we have so much to catch up on."

"They really do, I almost feel like I'm at a country club with the way everyone's dressed," Celeste said, taking another sip. But she let out a short hum and lowered her glass from her lips, "Mm! Yes we do and I insist we make it happen soon. Please tell me those new interns have gotten their stuff together so we can brunch soon?"

Seb: Good because I don't think I'd be able to stop.

Seb: I am 100 percent open this weekend. Leo has actually ditched me a lot of this summer for his friends Jason and Henry. lol but it's okay. I was the same at that age.

Seb: And for the record, I miss you too.

Rebecca: Oh, you absolutely spoil us. And I love every second of it.

Rebecca: Any chance you can come over this weekend? I understand if you can't leave Leo, but I do miss you.

[castillodeleon]

Seb: I see you're buttering me up

Seb: Yeah! They have all types of camps out there. I feel like it's a more recent thing. I was into a lot of specific hobbies as a kid and camps like that would have been great for me.

Seb: lol I feel like Rebecca and I have to get you to take a day off. In a speedo bc how could we turn that down.

Salvador: Kind, considerate, sweet, handsome, entertaining, sexy...

Salvador: I had no idea that math camps were a thing at any time of the year. At the same time, it's good that there is something like that for the more math-savvy kids out there.

Salvador: Haha yes. One day I'll get to that but for the time being I'm a go-go guy. Minus the speedo or mod dress.

[lets pretend this is present-day convo]

Seb: Anytime Kendra is happy, I'm happy and Roman knows I'll destroy him if he does anything dumb.

Seb: I'm really happy, K. I mean, a little early to tell much but I'm happy. They're both great people.

Seb: I'm not purposely straying the convo but what is this Luna is going on about? Is everything ok?

Khamani: Yeah it's about time they figured things out between them. I'm glad it's working out for the better. I know Kendra hasn't looked this happy in a long time.

Khamani: Yeah I've been wondering about that since Frankie and August's wedding.

"I'm right there with you." Seb took a sip of his own drink as he looked around Rodrigo and Jade's home. "Everyone looks so amazing and brunch will always be a favorite. Which reminds me, we owe each other a brunch date, no?"

"I don't think I've ever gushed so much over bees," Celeste giggled a bit, sipping her mimosa. "This whole theme with the garden party dress code?" She brought a set of fingertips to her lips and then fanned them out to the sky. "Also, who doesn't at least like brunch?"

@penned-cbarbosa

Seb: What are you doing tonight? I was hoping I can steal you away to sort all of this Sabrina Carpenter swag. Do we know anyone that is a huge fan? I wonder if Tyla likes her. Anyway, I got a lot of free things here that I can potentially give away and I wanted to give you guys stuff too. Makeup, sunscreen, etc.

Seb: And I miss your face but that goes without saying.

[castillodeleon]

@detkhamani

Seb: Hey. So I didn't get to pull you to the side on Sunday but it's nice seeing Roman and Kendra together. They look great!

Seb: Also, I have to tell you about some new happenings in that department in my life.

[castillodeleon]

Seb: I have to agree. You and me both so this is perfect. I'll spoil you both.

Rebecca: It's my favorite room in the house. But I promise not to peek. You know I like surprises, babe.

[castillodeleon]

Seb: oh? What other things?

Seb: Yeah, it's not all that bad. Leo joined a Math summer camp a couple of years ago and he's been hooked since. They do a lot of fun activities and it keeps him happy.

Seb: lol that sounds like a lot even in short version. And exhausting. You just need a day you can stay in and veg out.

Salvador: Among other things, yes, clearly you are.

Salvador: It sounds like some exciting busyness at least. Remind me again what sort of summer camp Leo is participating in?

Salvador: The short version is traveling for work, checking in on some projects and some works in progress. Eventually I'll know what timezone I'm in again haha.

[castillodeleon]

Seb: I'm very observant, yes.

Seb: I'm doing well! Now that school wrapped up, it's a little crazy around here but summer camp starts soon and Leo is really looking forward to that. The station has been busy. Summer concert tickets give aways and all of that.

Seb: What's got you so busy? I want to know.

Salvador: I like the sound of that. You're working my weaknesses, guapo.

Salvador: How are you by the way? I've been so busy lately that I haven't checked in but you've certainly been on my mind. You and Rebecca

An Unserious Serious Conversation Who: Leo and Seb What: The two have a talk about Sebastian's relationship. Where: The Castillo Deleon residence When: May, 2024

A/N: Mentions of @rebecca-anderson & @salvadorquiroz

Leo began packing his books into his bag along with some Pokemon cards gifted to him by Henry and some board games he had begged his father for. Even though his birthday was three months away, Leo already had a long list of games he wanted and was excited about playing with Henry and Jason when they had the chance.

"You're the only kid I know that packs books for a sleepover." Seb bit into his apple and leaned against their dining room set. "Isn't that a little heavy?"

"That's not true. You know Henry and Michael Sin. Literally, all my friends are giant nerds."

Seb almost choked on his apple and laughed. "Excuse me?"

"We figured it's best if we embrace our natural selves. Me, a possibly queer boy from San Fransico who reads at a college level, loves spreadsheets and Dungeons and Dragons. Henry, the language and arts wizard with an emotional quotient that would shame just about anyone, and Jason---he's just cute. I don't know. I've got nothing, dad."

Seb shook his head. "Speaking of, will you be asking Jason to the summer soiree? I hear Mr. Escobar will be chaperoning."

"Meh. Dad, I don't think he sees me that way and Uncle Thomas says that's okay and I can move on when I'm ready. Maybe we'll do a group thing. Henry refuses to talk tot he girl he likes and Jason is too busy trying not to go to summer school for third time in his academic career. Do you think that'll be weird?"

"Um, I don't think so. You're all still so young. Not saying I didn't try to date in middle school but there's a lot that comes with all of that."

Leo nodded and zipped up his duffle. "Trust me I know. Xavier is getting us all sundaes today and Winter is going to come with us to the comic book store in town before we grab dinner and go back to Henry's house. So, you can call me on my cell phone or text me. Don't set the house on fire while I'm gone."

"Who's the kid again?" Seb walked back into the kitchen to toss the core of the apple into a trash can. "And Winter will make sure you all stay together?"

"I'm 12, dad not 4. Besides, Winter is really mature for her age. " He smirked. "Are you going on a date with Rebecca or Salvador tonight?" Leo was curious about the information his dad had given him last month and now that they've done the appropriate research, Leo understood it better.

Seb smiled as he began the dishes. Xavier would be here any minute to pick Leo up but he wanted to answer any questions his son would have for him. "Both of them." He shut off the water for a moment and reached for his dish towel to wipe his hands. "Did you understand what I meant the other day when I said I was dating them both?"

Leo nodded. "Yeah. I mean, I understand it better now. I think. I just wonder what it's like to be in love with two people. I know you're not in love yet but when it happens, like will it happen for both of them at the same time?"

"Um, that's a good question. I'm going to say maybe not. Maybe in a perfect world it would but I feel like it's very possible for me to love them both at the same time at some point which is why I'm in the relationship to begin with. I see them both as two individual people but at the same time, it's like being with one person so all the rules o f dating still apply."

"Huh. What about when it gets more serious? Will you marry them both?"

"Perhaps. But it's too soon to tell any of that. Again, if it does get more serious, it would be a strong consideration. Is that something you'd be open to knowing more about?"

"Yes." Leo replied quickly. "I like seeing you happy. That's what matters most to me but I also want to understand it all. Do you think they like me?"

Seb reached out for his son and wrapped an arm around his shoulders. "What's not to like?"

Leo shrugged. "I know, right? I'm delightful." He giggled and looked up at his dad. "Do you think people will say mean things about you all?"

"It's possible. People are unpredictable but I do know that there are nice people and there are mean people. I can't change that or their mindset but if I'm happy and Becks and Sal are happy and YOU are happy, I feel like we'll be okay."

Leo took a moment to take that all in. "You know they're like really rich, right? like Henry is rich but they're rich rich. I looked up their profiles. It wasn't hard..."

"Whoa...Lee. No hacking my boyfriend and girlfriend, okay? I know them pretty well by now. There isn't anything you've discovered that I don't know. I promise. We're open with one another like that."

"And they're okay with us having a savings fund for new brakes?" Leo asked genuinely, not wanting to sound unkind. He was just a realist.

"I mean, they don't know about the needing new brakes part but they're not opposed to dating someone middle-class. Would it make you feel better if I brought them here for a dinner date? And you can join us. You can bring Henry as your emotional support friend."

Leo nodded. "Yeah...that would be helpful. I want them to see our house and maybe they can play Scrabble with us."

"Maybe." Seb wondered when he could make that happen.

"If they don't care that we eat out of takeout boxes and play Scrabble on Sundays and have a brake fund then they're great in my book. They already make you happy, dad." He looked over his shoulder when he heard the doorbell. "That's Xavier. Do you want to come out and say hello?"

Seb nodded and ran a hand through his cirls. "Yeah, I do. You know, your uncle Xavier is the reason I met Sal and Becks. And your aunt Cel."

"Yeah, aunt Cel was ready to kidnap you and throw you to the auction." Leo giggled again as he shouldered his bag. "That was funny."

When they headed out the door, Xavier was standing in front of a car he's never seen before and Seb let out a low whistle. "Whoa. Riding in Style!" He did the Fresh Prince handshake with him as Leo and Henry began their banter about Pokemon. "He knows now."

Xavier arched a brow and looked over his shoulder at the chatting boys. "Oh yeah? Good. That's good, Seb. You deserve all of this. And I happen to know Sal and Becks are excited about you three." He extended his hand to shake Seb's shoulder slightly and then chuckled. "I gotta get Winter before she kills me but tomorrow you can tell me about your date and we can chat some more when I drop Leo off."

Seb nodded and then knocked on the passenger window to get the boy's attention. "Be good! listen to Xavier and Winter!"

Xavier rolled his eyes playfully, before placing his sunglasses back on and getting into the driver's seat. "Should have left it at Xavier. Winter is too bossy as it is." He smirked and asked the boys to put their seatbelts on before driving off.

Seb pulled his cell phone out and text Sal and Becks asking them if they wanted to do Sunday dinner at his house and yes, they were still on for tonight.

It's okay. love makes us do stupid things. Or rather, believing we're in love lol. I love hearing it. That island got a few things right!

I mean I have a family full of lawyers. Someone will set me free lmao. But you're right. I'll just grill him. He's drama. Celeste means the world to me so seeing that she's found someone as caring and amazing as you makes me feel the world is doing something right. She's great with Frankie and the two of them clicked so quickly. I agree 100 percent.
