That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Image

Ciel nods, his expression a mix of understanding and disappointment. "You're right, _________," he says, his voice tinged with a hint of regret. "We shouldn't rush into anything. It's important for both of us to take the time we need to process our emotions and consider the implications of our actions."

_________'s gaze meets Ciel's, a mixture of gratitude and uncertainty in their eyes. "Thank you for understanding, C," they say softly, their voice filled with genuine appreciation. "This is... a lot to take in, and I don't want to make any hasty decisions that we might regret later."

Ciel smiles faintly, a touch of sadness lingering in his eyes. "I want what's best for both of us, ________," he says, his voice filled with sincerity. "So, take all the time you need. We can navigate this together, step by step."

______ nods, a small smile tugging at the corners of their lips. "Step by step," they repeat, their voice a whisper. "Thanks. I... I appreciate your patience and understanding."

Ciel squeezes _________'s hand gently, his touch comforting. "It's my pleasure, _______," he says, his voice filled with warmth. "We'll figure this out, I'm certain of it."

And with that, they sit in silence, their hands intertwined, each lost in their own thoughts and emotions. The future may be uncertain, but they are determined to face it together, one step at a time.

A good while after, training with Sebastian comes again and for that day they are fencing. Ciel decides to engage in a bit of it, as he might gain more favor with _______ if he just did. Well, at least that's what he hopes for. He expected the servant to go easy, as this would be the first time they're crossing swords with the other. But it seems the demon had taught this one to fight a little dirty.

__________'s blade clashes with Ciel in harsh and heavy strikes, causing the earl to falter a bit. Even causing Ciel to fall to the ground, _______'s sword pointed at him with a dangerous glint...

"That's enough now. Well done ________, young master." Sebastian pipes up, clapping at the side as he has the two stop their clash. _________ extending a hand out for Ciel to take, and helping the earl to his feet

"Awesomesauce. See that C? I can fight pretty good now huh?"

Ciel takes ________'s hand, allowing them to help him up with a small, appreciative smile. Sebastian's words of praise ring in his ears, and he can't help but feel a mix of pride and admiration for _________'s newfound skill.

"You've certainly improved, ________," Ciel replies, his voice filled with genuine appreciation. "Your dedication and hard work have paid off. I must admit, I didn't expect such a fierce opponent."

__________ grins, a glimmer of mischief in their eyes. "Well, I had a good teacher," they say, their voice laced with playful pride. "Sebastian knows how to bring out the best in me."

Sebastian chuckles softly, a smug smile playing on his lips. "Indeed, I have done my part in shaping _________'s skills," he remarks, his voice dripping with satisfaction. "But it is _______'s own determination and natural talent that have truly allowed them to excel."

Ciel's gaze shifts between __________ and Sebastian, a mix of emotions swirling within him. He can't help but feel a pang of jealousy at the close bond the two share, the way they seem to understand each other so effortlessly.

Clearing his throat, Ciel regains his composure, his tone laced with a hint of teasing. "Well, __________, it seems you've become quite the formidable opponent," he says, a playful glint in his eye. "But don't think for a moment that I'll go easy on you next time. I expect an even greater challenge."

_________'s grin widens, excitement shining in their eyes. "Bring it on, C," they say, their voice filled with determination. "I'll make sure you eat my dust!"

_________blinks for a moment, seeing an image cross their mind. The image of their sibling- (Sibling) in that moment. After that- a sharp pain invades their mind and causes them to hold their head in pain "Augh..! My head..!"

Yet another image crosses their mind, one of the man they call father- and an even sharper pain coming along with it. Images of harm coming to them flashing in their mind causing them to collapse to the ground with an awful groan of pain.

The action shocks both Sebastian and Ciel, the two males rushing over to ________ asking if they're alright. However they don't respond as ________ continues to groan painfully. Eyes tearing up as the images grow more vivid in their mind. The clouds above growing as dark as their thoughts. Pain Pain Pain. Oh so much pain, ________ lets out a pained sob as an image of their father appears in their mind again, followed by a mind-splitting pain...

Ciel's eyes widen with concern as he watches __________ collapse to the ground, their cries of pain echoing in his ears. He kneels down beside them, his voice filled with urgency. "________, what's happening? What's wrong?" he asks, his tone laced with worry.

Sebastian's expression darkens, his eyes narrowing as he assesses the situation. "_______, can you hear me?" he asks, his voice firm yet filled with genuine concern. "Try to focus, tell us what's causing this pain."

_______'s tears stream down their face as they struggle to speak through the agony, their voice choked with pain. "I... I don't know," they manage to gasp out, their words punctuated by sobs. "Images... of my father... and the pain... it's overwhelming."

Ciel's heart clenches at _________'s words, his mind racing to find a solution. "Sebastian, we need to help them," he says, his voice determined. "Do something! Anything!"

Sebastian's eyes flicker with a mix of worry and resolve as he places a hand on ___________'s trembling shoulder. "__________, listen to me," he says, his voice steady yet filled with urgency. "We're going to find a way to ease your pain.."

Suddenly- a strike of lightning descends from the skies. Shocking the trio, but mostly _________ as they let out a shout. Rushing into Ciel's arms as he is the closest to them-

"No no! Not again please..!!" There it is again, _________'s innate fear of thunderstorms. Images once again flashing in their mind, painful and terrifying. Adding to the fear they already harbor towards storms and such loud noise.

Ciel tries to hush them, holding them close and patting their back to calm them down. It doesn't specifically work, but then Lumine cries out just as the lightning yet again blared in their ears, rain finally falling. The rain drenching their clothes in less than a few seconds, thus urging them all to go back within the manor- seeking shelter. Only to find that _______ had passed out from the fear or pain. Whichever it was, they're now running a high fever. It's a strange phenomenon, but the body will not lie when it is in such a vulnerable state. Thus they bring _________ to their room, and tend to them until they wake...

Ciel carries _________ in his arms, his heart heavy with worry as he rushes them back to the safety of the manor. Sebastian follows closely behind, concern etched onto his face. They make their way to ______'s room, gently laying them down on the bed, their feverish body radiating heat.

Sebastian quickly fetches a damp cloth and places it on ______'s forehead, hoping to alleviate their fever. Ciel sits by their side, his hand gently stroking their cheek, his voice filled with concern. "______, please wake up," he murmurs softly, his words filled with a mix of worry and tenderness. "You're safe now. We're here with you."

Time passes, the rain continuing to pour outside, its rhythmic patter against the window providing a soothing backdrop. Ciel and Sebastian remain by ______'s side, taking turns to care for them, monitoring their fever and trying to ease their discomfort.

"________." Little did they know, this would be a while since _________ would awaken. They've slept the whole day, and then the next, then the next...! With no one being able to wake them for some strange reason. They'd checked their vitals and such, they're alive. But had gone into a strange coma... Days and more days pass by, days turn into weeks and everyone had grown restless. Sebastian assumes it must be something supernatural that even he, a demon is unaware about. Thus bring them where they are now-

Right in front of the Undertakers' shop, hoping for answers to their beloved ________'s sudden condition. Sure enough the retired Grim Ripper's knowledge is far more vast considering his line of work, and they might just find out a way to awaken ________ from their slumber...!
