It had been a couple of days since (Y/N) had entered the Phantomhive manor, no one knew why The Earl had kept the feline, no one seemed to mind expect Lizzy who questioned Ciel on the topic frequently. She would always get a similar answer.
"They have nowhere to go," The undertaker had offered his house on a couple of occasions.
"They're still very weak" (Y/N) recovered quite quickly.
"I bought them" Well okay...that one made sense. But the real reason that (Y/N) was still at the Phantomhive estate was because they peaked Ciel's curiosity, he had seen how they stood up to Lizzy but passed it off like it was nothing moments later. Ciel wondered how they would react to a different blonde, a certain... Alois Trancy. Considering that he planned to come here for a "Playdate" Tomorrow he wanted to see (Y/N)'s reaction.
(Y/N) blissfully strolled through to the hallways of the Phantomhive manor, passing Mey-rin on their way and giving her a polite smile as she cleaned the windows. The smile faded as they continued walking still remembering how Mey-rin broke their trust. Eventually the smile was back as they reached the Earl's office, their tail lightly swayed behind them as they admired the class that the door had which matched the elegance and beauty the rest of the manor had. (Y/N) knocked on the door exactly 4 times, each knocked having the same sound.
"Come in (Y/N)" Ciel said tiredly through the door. How did he know it was me? (Y/N) thought to themselves, although they had only been here a couple of days the young Earl had picked up on some of their habits for example the way they knock.
"How did you know it was me?" The neko pouted playfully as they sat on the edge of the Earls desk, for some reason (Y/N) had no effect on Ciel or his bad allergy to cats, he wondered about that daily.
"The reason I called you here is simple" The blue-eyed boy ignored the (H/C)ettes question "as you know I own you" how could he say something like that so casual. It was strange hearing those words from somebody so young in such a passive tone, it was really impressive.
"And as such you have to do as I say" The boy continued, (Y/N) smirked at the boys unintentional bratty nature, "The point is I have a job for you around the manor."
"What might that job be, My Lord?" Curiosity and mischief laced (Y/N)'s voice, they hoped it wouldn't be too laborious, they share many qualities with a cat and laziness was one of them.
"When we are in contact with annoying people, I want you to be their entertainment, distract them, just keep them out of my way, because of your past work I'm sure this will be easy."
(y/n) nodded their head in agreement.
"This job will also require you to come a long with me everywhere we go." This seemed interesting to the neko, although by the awkward look on the Earl's face they knew he wasn't done.
"This will also require you to cover your ears and tail, are you alright with that?" he asked, although the job wasn't a choice he didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable. (Y/N) appreciated that. The neko slid off the desk and turned around in one single movement, facing the Earl.
" Of course My lord, I am at your service" (Y/N) bowed, smiling.
"Wonderful" Ciel said with his usually cold tone "however there is one last part of the job"
(Y/N)'s head tilted to the side with one ear flat and the other sticking up as they stood back up.
"I find it quite humerus when you anger Lady Elizabeth, When I give you permission, anger these said annoying people." He finished, (Y/N)'s grin was now sinister.
"This shall be fun" (y/n) wore a sly grin.
