Phantomhive Manor
The woman, who was clad in black scurried back and forth, anxious about the result she was waiting on. On the process of her so called 'wait', Lyra bit her thumb nails, a habit she had grown accustomed to from a very long time. Her chest heaved back and forth, her breaths were long, as though breathing normally would add on to her burden. Sebastian watched her carefully, his gaze not altering. His master had ordered him to watch her every move, not out of suspicion nor care, but simply out of plain gratitude. Lyra had helped his master, and his master was simply returning the favor. Because, that was who he was, the Lord of the Phantomhive household, kind to the common people. 'Sarcasm isn't a foreign language is it?' Lyra thought bitterly.
Suddenly, Lyra stopped and gulped. Her gaze was on her fingers, which were fiddling with the hem of her pinafore collar, and she slowly, turned to meet the butler's gaze. Sebastian was holding back a chuckle, but it was a failure. This girl, simply amused him. "What are you staring at?" She snapped and Sebastian put his arms in front of him as to say, 'Nothing.' Lyra didn't buy it, and walked closer to the butler. "Sebastian?" The butler merely nodded. "I haven't been much of help to you, or Master Ciel. You…you simply are amazing. I am just a commoner, I can't fight, and neither can I do any other productive work around here-"Sebastian chuckled, and his palm grazed the girl's cheek, inducing redness in the area he touched. She was something he couldn't understand, but could read like a book. She was captivating in every way, yet she couldn't see it.
"Lyra, my dear, you simply are one hell of a creature, I assure you." Sebastian muttered, his face close to hers. The girl gasped and furrowed her eyebrows. "Are you stating I'm not human?" Sebastian's eyes widened for a second, but Lyra noticed. He bent down to her level, his nose touching hers. Lyra gasped, and gulped, the redness inducing a little heat in her cheeks. "But Lyra dearest, you and I both know you aren't at all, human." Lyra stepped backward in reconciliation only to realize, Sebastian's arm was clutching her by her waist. The woman gasped as she realized one more thing. Sebastian chuckled.
He was holding her the entire time.
A/N:This is just the preview, and might I add, this scene isn't the first chapter. Since my exams are going on, and school ends (luckily) at the end of March, I'll update one chapter of this story soon, and well, and next after the tests only. I hope you guys give this a try, the plot I have in mind is kinda unique. The events are NOT in accordance to the anime, but I will be sticking with my own plot and a little help from the manga. Keep reading! :)
