My Lady (Black Butler x Reader)

Joker

You had awoken in your bedroom weeks ago, but no matter how much you searched, Ciel and Sebastian were gone. When visiting the Phantomhive estate, Tanaka informed you of the death of his master, but you didn't believe it. Then, when you visited the Trancy manor, no one was there to be found. You were left alone in your estate to worry about your companies, hospitals, and businesses. Suitors upon suitors would ask for your hand in marriage or to court you, but you couldn't accept any of them.

Today, you were in your office looking out the window, staring into the bright world outside. All of your work had been completed for the evening, so now, you relaxed in your chair, sipping your tea, as you looked at Tom and Henry running outside. After giving up on Earl Trancy and Earl Phantomhive, you finally brought both boys to your manor. They lived in your manor but still worked in London, making their own money. Tom and Henry were like your own kids; now they wouldn't have to worry about food, clothes, or having a roof over their heads anymore.

   " Lady, Y/n. There is someone here, to see you. "

   " I wasn't aware I had anyone coming today. "

   " The young man just stopped by and asked to see you. "

   " Young man? "

   " Yes, he has very lovely orange hair. "

   " Send him up then. "

Mary nodded and left your office to return to the front door and allow the man into the home. You turned your chair back to your desk and set your teacup on your desk, looking down at the flat surface, deep in thought.

   ' Orange hair? How good would my luck be if it was Joker about to walk into my office? '

The door to your office opened, revealing the young-haired orange man Mary was talking about. His clothes were colorful, with a purple jacket that was checkered yellow and black inside. black slacks decorated his legs until they reached his comfortable black shoes. Golden diamonds lined the side of his pants. He had a white long-sleeved collared shirt tucked in his pants while a vest lay on his torso. The vest was black, with golden spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs littering the material. A yellow bow was wrapped around his neck to finish the outfit. What once was a blue tear underneath his left eye was now a set of golden stars. His hair had gotten longer, so it couldn't stick up in the back like it used to. His orange locks rested against his back, loose, while he kept his bangs in front of his face.

   ' I have pretty good luck, I guess. '

   " Joker. . ."

   " Hello, darlin'. " Joker said, smiling at you, showing his canine tooth.

Before, his right sleeve had a skeletal arm going through the sleeve, and he could move it as if it were his. Now, the sleeve hung low, with nothing inside the sleeve. You stood from your desk and walked toward Joker.

   " Is the circus in town? How did you get here? "

   " Yes, the circus is back, but not to kidnap the young. We continue around the towns for fun before making it back here. And it wasn't hard to find 'ee. Just needed to ask around the town. "

Joker approached you and lifted one of your hands toward his lips, kissing your skin. Then, together, your hands stayed connected as you stood and talked.

   " Last time I saw you, you had a cane, and a skeleton arm. "

   " Now, I 'ave only one arm. I couldn't see getting another arm after finding out the material of my previous one. The cane is long gone so that I can use my own arm. "

Joker's face quickly grew concerned, and his gaze fell to your stomach, where your scar was, from the doctor. You noticed his gaze and unconsciously placed your hand over the spot you had been stabbed.
