Demon Butler

Awake

The next time you woke, you were back in bed feeling a bit better.

"Good morning, mistress." Sebastian opened the curtains and peered out the window as you peeled your eyes open but quickly shut them the second the light came in. You turned and pulled the covers over your head.

"Now now... it's a new day. And you've rested for over 2 now and must get cleaned up and out of bed."

You shook your head and groaned refusing to listen to him. Sebastian sighed and looked around the room. "Is it that you still feel sick or that you're just being lazy." He looked back at you in bed and waited for your response. Since you didn't answer, he picked you up from under the covers bridal style.

"Up we go. You'll feel even better after you have a warm bath. I've prepared your favorite foods for breakfast and an exquisite meal is in preparation for lunch." You moved on his arms and buried your face in his chest not wanting to wake up yet. "....Wether you feel like it or not, your going to have to walk around and get your energy going."

You stayed quiet and took slow deep breaths listening to him. As he spoke you could feel the vibrations of his voice through his chest making you relax and even drift off in his arms.

Sebastian watched and listened to your breathing closely. "Mistress...." He could feel your body relax in his arms as you fell asleep. "Hmm."

Almost 5 hours later, you woke up in your bed but this time, you were laying with Sebastian holding you.

His arms were wrapped around you with the cover up high over your shoulders. He had you lying with your face in his chest allowing you to sleep the whole time.

You opened your eyes  and rubbed them since your arms were in-front of you from how you were curled up in his arms. You paused and took a second to process what was going on. Leaning your head up to see his face, you covered your mouth in a little shock.

Your whole body warmed up once you saw him laying with his eyes closed resting with you. His grip was tight around you but so comfortable that it mesmerized you, making you stare.

"I see you've woken up." Sebastian opened his eyes making eye contact with you.

As soon as his eyes met yours your face warmed and you put your head back down in his chest. Seeing your reaction, Sebastian chuckled under his breath then began to speak to you almost teasingly.

"We've done more than what a simple Butler and Mistress should ever do, yet you are still shy about something like this? You truly are just adorable aren't you."

You giggled and smiled lightly while still hiding your face from showing how embarased you were to recall what you both had done. But as you thought about it more, you remembered how he left you in the middle of everything.

You opened your eyes and pushed him away while shaking your head. Sebastian let you push him away but looked down at you confused. "mistress?"

You sat up and shook your head trying to be upset with him while he sat up aswell to reach over to try to stop you from doing too much movement so quickly. "my lady, you shouldn't move so-"

You pushed his hands from your waist as he tried to pull you back to the pillow.

"......What is it"  he moved his hands from you and just looked at you while you turned your head to the side but slowly back to the center when he spoke to you.

Sebastian patiently waited for what you wanted to say though you were a little dizzy.

"why'd you leave the other night."

"you mean when you laid in my bed? ...I simply had to step out for a moment."

"don't lie to me Sebastian" you looked at him and saw his straight and serious face but you knew there was something else. Seeing how upset you were he didn't want to keep this conversation going but you insisted.

"....you must still be feeling unwell." He slowly moved out of the bed and fixed his suit while doing a short bow to you. "I shall bring you some of your favorite tea to sooth your head-"

"No!" hearing your sharp responce shook him a bit. You'd never risin your voice at him like your brother would but him doing this was pushing it for you. "Sebastian tell me what I want to know." you gulped both trying to get something to ease the dry feeling in your throat and wondering if you should say what you never wanted to say towards him. But even then he was still ignoring the question by just staying still in his bowing position, head down and hand across his chest to avoid looking at you.

"that was an order"

Sebastian squinted his eyes hearing you comand him for the first time ever. He didn't know if he should be glad that you're finnaly using the curse and tainting your soal or to be cautious that this might lead you to turning out like your twin brother.

You gripped the cover in front of you gently because you wanted to apologise for forcing him but you also were dying to know.

Sebastian slowly rose from his bowing position and straightened up while peering over at you in the bed.

"as you wish my Lady....."

You looked away feeling guilty of doing it and could feel his eyes piercing into your skin as if you had angered him.

"That night, I was sumoned by the young master. He summoned me before I returned to you that night. And as I was tending to your needs, He demanded for me once again, but this time as a threat..... It was nothing personal my Lady and I did not mean to upset you."

Hearing his words and putting them in with that night and the fact that he couldn't lie to you, it made since. "why lie about that when you could have just told me."

"I've never lied to you my lady, I did indeed have something to atend to and I did indeed step out for a moment. When I came back in you were resting soundly, so I carried you to your bed for you to rest comfortably." He bowed once again as you looked at him. "If i'd lied to you," he sat up and gave you a light smirk almost satisfied  at what he was sayning. "then what kind of butler would I be."

"right...." you turned your head and looked at your hands while you picked at your nails.

"I shall prepare your tea and some warm towels. I should be back in little time." He walked around the bed.

"thank you Sebastian." you mumbled as he looked at your hands and seeing you pick at your nails while walking twords the door.

"Sebastian." he paused hearing your slightly weak voice speek up to get his attention. "I'm sorry for making you answer like that."

"don't be, It was I who should have just told you in the first place. To be honest, you giving me a comand was rather refreshing." he peeked over his sholder to look at you as his eyes glowed red and his voice turned seductive. "I'd like you to do it again."

Chills ran down your spine hearing his voice change and say those words. His eyes glowing was just the cherry ontop.
