Finny and Meyrin

by Marth Swordsman

All of the residents of the Phantomhive Manor are out except Finny and Meyrin who share their information to try to disprove that Sebastian is human. In the midst of terror, Finny and Meyrin find themselves in a situation that draws the line between co-workers and more than just friends. I would rate it T. I don't own any of the characters or anything.

1. Chapter 1

It was three years after the butler had arrived at the Phantomhive Manor. Finny and Meyrin started to become suspicious of Sebastian's inhuman talents and abilities. They both seemed to know that he was different, but never had the courage to talk about their boss behind his back. The Master and his butler were out in London to do some shopping, and Baldo was visiting family in America.

Since Finny and Meyrin were alone at the manor, they decided to broach the subject regarding Sebastian's perfection in every aspect of his life. If something wasn't perfect, it was beyond perfect in Sebastian's book. He could easily throw together any ingredients and create a masterpiece. He could also disguise himself as an ordinary butler…

Finny and Meyrin now came to a firm agreement that their boss wasn't human. They both knew humans are far from perfect, and decided that Sebastian had well surpassed perfection. Now, the question regarding why someone like Ciel Phantomhive would require an inhuman servant, had arisen between the two. All Finny and Meyrin could think of were the possible dangers that loomed ahead if they were to stick around working at the manor their whole lives.

Then, Meyrin revealed a piece of information that caused her to tremble as she spoke. The maid had seen Ciel's patched eye long ago when she was tending the wash. He had come downstairs not knowing anyone was around. Meyrin said she hid behind a crate while she watched Ciel remove his eye patch and exchange it for a fresh one. He had no eye injury as he claimed he had. Ciel had some sort of purple design covering that eye. It seemed like a tattoo of sorts. She said that Sebastian had the same mark on his hand. She saw that when he feigned being murdered during the storm. Meyrin didn't know what this all meant, but it was the connection that gave her the creeps.

Finny was shocked at this news. He too was scared. He imagined the dormant power that could possibly be being held by Sebastian and Ciel. Meyrin and Finny wanted out of the Phantomhive Manor. They both said that if either of them decided to leave, the other would follow. The two servants shook on it and then finished their daily chores.

That night, Finny got into his bed, and began to process his thoughts on what he and Meyrin had talked about earlier in the day. He began to hear a voice. He couldn't tell whether it was in his head or that there was really someone else in his room. The hairs on the back of Finny's neck stood up, and he heard the voice say: "How did you figure it out?" "You mustn't know any more than what you have already established," the voice demanded. It sounded like Sebastian's voice, but he was nowhere in the vicinity. He was still on his way back from London with the master.

Then, Finny began hearing footsteps starting from down the hall coming towards his room. His heart began to beat a little faster. The footsetps got louder and faster as they approached. Finny pulled his covers up to his eyes so that he could just barely see over them. Outside his door, the footsteps stopped until the doorknob began to turn. All Finny could do was hide, so he quickly hid behind his bed. When the door opened, a dark silhouette carrying a lit candle entered the room and whispered: "Finny, are you in here?" Finny still couldn't make out the person until she held a candle up to her face. It was only Meyrin. Finny stood upon relief and Meyrin jumped. "Jeez, you scared me nearly half to death," Meyrin exclaimed. "So did you!" Finny replied. "I came in here because I think I heard Sebastian's voice," Meyrin said. Finny yelped, "So did I!" "Can I sleep in here with you tonight, Finny?" "Sure can," Finny said with his face beginning to redden. "Thanks, it'd be pretty creepy to have to sleep alone after hearing that eerie message," added Meyrin.

Meyrin and Finny both couldn't fall sleep. They felt so uncomfortable and yet so terrified at the same. All they could do was hold each other close. They both thought to themselves that this situation was a pretty legitimate excuse to express their true feelings for each other. After a while, the two finally drifted-off to sleep, and when they woke up, Sebastian was standing right over them with his red eyes gleaming into their souls.
