Chapter 7
Mwahaha! Prepare for crazy drama this chapter! (Also Grell will probably be VERY OOC but just bear with me okay)
I don't own Black Butler.
I stood outside Ciel's study, next to Sebastian, who was currently running over what he'd say one more time in his head. He looked at me, and nodded. I knocked twice on the door.
"Enter" came Ciel's voice. Sebastian opened the door and we went in.
"Ah, hello Luella. Is there something you need?" Ciel asked kindly. I shook my head, nudging Sebastian a tiny bit closer.
"No, sir. But Sebastian has something to say"
Ciel blinked and looked at his demonic butler, confusion lining his face.
"What is it then?" he asked.
"Young master..." Sebastian took a deep breath, even though he didn't need to breathe. He was clearly stalling.
"Young master, I am in love with you" he said bluntly.
Dead silence overtook the room. The clock ticked, birds chirped, but all I could hear was the deafening silence ringing in my ears. I started to feel worried. Not even for my training, I was just scared that Ciel would break Sebastian's heart.
"Get out"
I was right.
"Young master-"
"Get OUT, Sebastian! OUT, now! You should know better than to toy with my emotions!" Ciel shrieked. Sebastian attempted to take a step forward, to explain himself, but Ciel shot him a death glare that made him stop in his tracks.
Silence returned, but only for a brief moment.
"Yes, my lord..."
Just the heartbroken tone in Sebastian's voice made me hope that maybe Ciel would notice and stop him from leaving, but no. Ciel turned to face the window in a huff.
Sebastian left the room, closing the door behind him.
"I'm sorry you had to see that Luella" Ciel said softly. I knew he must have been crying, judging by his tone.
"Why would you do that?! He loves you!" I screamed angrily. The one thing about me that made me unfit to be a TLA, the one thing that had always held back my training...
I had immense anger issues. I could manage to hide it well, but things like this just blew my top.
Ciel was stunned, even though he didn't turn around, I could tell by the way his shoulders tensed up.
"He does not. I don't know why he'd think it would be okay to toy with me"
"Why would Sebastian toy with you?! Yes, he's a demon, but that doesn't mean he's heartless! He just... He has a different way of showing his feelings..." My voice got quiet as I remembered something important from my training.
If a demon falls for a human, though this happens rarely, they will take all necessary actions to hide it. Despite knowing that the one they fall for is their perfect match, they will usually avoid their emotions so their love can live a happier life, free of sin.
My breath hitched. Sebastian had never shown his emotions. That was why Ciel thought he was toying with him.
"Ciel, you need to trust him" I said firmly.
Silence rang for the third time. Longer than the second time, shorter than the first.
"Get out of my mansion. I never want to see you again" he hissed.
I fled the mansion without a second thought.
Outside, I saw Sebastian staring at the sky, just sitting on the grass. I came to sit next to him, deciding to wait until Ciel's anger cooled before we went inside.
Once I sat, I noticed... He was crying.
"I'm so sorry Sebastian..." I whispered in vain. It was my fault. He confessed his feelings because of me pushing him, and now Ciel was angry with him.
"It's okay. I would have confessed with or without you here. But with you, I just happened to confess sooner. The result was the same"
I couldn't see how he could be so calm.
"Oh dear, why is my Bassy crying?!" a voice echoed. A man in woman's clothes appeared, and Sebastian could only groan in what I assume was either disappointment or frustration.
"Go away, Grell" he hissed. This 'Grell' person smirked, kneeling next to me.
"You, young lady. Can you possibly tell me what has my Bassy so upset?"
I almost laughed at 'Bassy' but I refrained.
"Sebastian confessed to his love, but his love didn't take it so well" I explained. Grell's eyes widened. Sebastian's eyes widened as well, though I suspect it was for a different reason.
But after a moment, Grell smiled eerily.
"Well then! We'll have to get Bassy the love he deserves!"
"Wait, what?!" Sebastian screamed, jumping up in shock. Grell laughed.
"Bassy, I know you can only love your perfect match! If that match isn't me, then what can we do? I'd love to rip out their throat, yes, but I'd rather you be happy so I'll refrain for your sake!"
I blinked. Rip out their throat? Yeesh, that's some... Tough love...
"So, who is the lucky guy or gal?" Grell squealed, grabbing Sebastian's shoulders and shaking him, as if the answer would come out that way.
"It's Ciel! Now stop shaking me!"
Grell beamed as he obeyed Sebastian.
"I should have known! Let's go get that unfeeling little brat to love you!" he decleared, and before Sebastian could protest he grabbed Sebastian's wrist and all but dragged the poor demon inside. I couldn't help but laugh as I followed.
Now this would definitely be fun.
