That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Trance

Ciel takes some time observing _________ from afar, their interactions, words, expression with others. But none of those that interact with her within his manor seem to be the one their heart has chosen- well, aside from Sebastian perhaps but as far as he's concerned their relationship is not a romantic one. Well, he's thankful he doesn't have competition among his servants at least. But that begs the question, if not one of the servants, who would it be? Is it someone he even knows? Once again, as usual. Alois comes over unannounced, consistently trying to capture _________'s attention in some way. But they more or less ignore the blonde Earl. Doing their work as always, with their ever present amused smile.

"Yoohoo! Look here, just a glance darling!"

"Twinkie, I'm trying to wor-"

Alois does a silly little party trick, confetti fluttering down to the ground as he pulls out a red rose from nowhere. Presenting it to ______ with a confident smile. ________ stands there, confused and unmoving for a few seconds. Before a smile creeps up their face and they let out a sweet laugh. One that makes his and the other's hearts clench at how adorable _______ looks when they laugh...

"Hahaha..! You really like your tricks..."

"Well, if you'd laugh this much. I'd be happy to show you more!"

The servant shakes their head, still smiling. The expression ________ gives Alois gnawing at Ciel's mind. Is it him? Is Alois the one who has their heart? But they declined his marriage proposal, so that can't be. Right? But maybe their answer then was out of embarrassment? No, he won't allow it. No one is allowed to take his precious _________ from him, no one, no one, no one...!

Ciel's heart clenches as he watches _________ and Alois interact, their laughter and smiles tugging at his own emotions. He can't help but feel a pang of jealousy, of possessiveness, as he observes the exchange between them. Could it be that Alois is the one who has captured _________'s heart?

The thought gnaws at him, his mind racing with a mix of fear and desperation. He can't bear the idea of _________ being taken away from him by someone else, especially not Alois. He had thought that _________'s rejection of Alois's marriage proposal meant that they were not interested in him. But the sight before him now challenges that assumption.

"No," Ciel whispers to himself, his voice filled with determination. "I won't allow it. I won't let Alois take _________ from me. I'll do whatever it takes to win their heart."

His mind begins to spin, thoughts of schemes and plans forming in his head. He can't let his jealousy and possessiveness consume him, but he also can't sit back and do nothing. _________ means too much to him, and he refuses to let them slip through his fingers.

His mind races with possibilities, his thoughts consumed by the burning desire to claim _________ as his own. He can't bear the thought of someone else having what he so desperately desires, what he believes belongs to him. The jealousy festers within him, fueling his determination to uncover the truth.

However, before he can even go towards them- Sebastian intervenes and speaks with the two. His tone sharp and commanding. "Lord Trancy, I believe ________ has a few things they need to do. Servants of the Phantomhive manor are diligent workers, you mustn't hinder them from doing as such."

"Oh but-" Alois tries to speak, but his maid Hannah places a hand on her master's shoulder a silent indication to just allow _______ to work as they should. Alois, caring about Hannah's input gives in finally and allows himself to be led away. While _______ is dragged off by Sebastian into the manor. Ciel watches this, as he's sure Sebastian wouldn't need anything from _________.

But he is proven surprisingly wrong when Sebastian corners the servant by the hall. Ciel is sure Sebastian can sense his presence, but the demon chooses to ignore the young earl as he whispers into ________'s ear...

"_________, you must be aware how it pains me so that you do not warm my bed any longer.."

"S-Sebs We only made that deal for when you taught me stuff, haven't you had enough??"

"No, on the contrary darling I haven't..." Sebastian purrs as he leans closer, getting a good whiff of ___________'s sweet scent, before placing a chaste kiss on their exposed neck, making the servant gasp at the action.

Ciel's eyes widen in shock as he watches Sebastian corner _________ in the hall, their intimate exchange unfolding before his eyes. His heart pounds in his chest, a mix of anger, jealousy, and confusion swirling within him. He can't believe what he's witnessing. How could Sebastian, his loyal butler, dare to make such advances on _________?

The scene before him is both infuriating and fascinating. Sebastian's seductive whispers and the intimate kiss on _________'s neck send a jolt of jealousy coursing through Ciel's veins. He can't help but feel a surge of possessiveness, a burning desire to be the one to touch _________ in such a way.

But he can't let his emotions get the better of him. _________ is his servant, after all, and Sebastian is merely a demon bound to serve him. He takes a deep breath, trying to regain his composure, before stepping forward, a mask of calm authority settling over his features.

"Sebastian," Ciel says, his voice laced with a mix of irritation and warning. "I believe _________ has work to attend to. Please refrain from distracting them any further."

Sebastian straightens and turns to face Ciel, a knowing smile playing on his features.

"Oh Master, I assure you Our dear ________ has finished their work well already. I'm simply rewarding them for such hard work you see"

"You see my ass, what bullshit are you spouting Sebs? You looked like you were gonna eat me-" ________ exclaims, as Sebastian moves a slight bit away from them to face the earl. The demon butler chuckling when they hear ________ speak of him wanting to eat them.

"Well it wouldn't be far from what I planned, however I shall spare you for the time being __________. I believe the master and I have things to speak about..." Sebastian allows _______ the freedom to leave, and with a slight nod from Ciel, they do. Skittering away as soon as they got the okay and leaving the earl and his butler alone to speak.

"Young master I believe I offered you a chance to take what you thought would be yours last time, and you'd declined. Should you not be focused on your revenge rather than seeking for _________'s love?" Sebastian taunts his young master, smirking as the earl's expression prickles with envy, jealousy, possession and anger. The boy seething as he realizes that Sebastian was rubbing it in his face how easy it could be to take what is his.

Ciel's eyes narrow as he listens to Sebastian's taunting words, the anger within him intensifying. He can't stand the thought of Sebastian flaunting his power and influence over _________, using their connection to manipulate him further. The mix of emotions bubbling inside him threatens to consume him, but he refuses to let it show.

"Sebastian," Ciel says, his voice dripping with coldness. "I am well aware of my priorities, and revenge is at the forefront of my mind. But that doesn't mean I can't desire _________ as well. They are mine, and I won't let anyone else take them away from me."

The determination in Ciel's voice is palpable as he takes a step forward, closing the distance between him and Sebastian. His eyes lock onto the demon's, a silent challenge passing between them. Ciel won't be cowed by Sebastian's manipulation or his attempts to undermine his desires.

"I won't be swayed by your games, Sebastian. I will do whatever it takes to win _________'s heart, even if it means going against you. So, don't think for a second that I'll back down."

Sebastian's smirk widens, his eyes gleaming with amusement. "Of course, my lord..."
