That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Forge

Ciel's eyes flickered with a mixture of disbelief and frustration as ________ stood before them, pleading for another chance. Their heart felt heavy, burdened by the pain and confusion that had consumed them since that night.

"You think it's that simple, huh?" ___________'s voice wavered with a tinge of bitterness. "Do you not understand the consequences of our love? The price we both have to pay?"

_________ turned away, unable to meet Ciel's gaze. The thought of losing him, of being left alone and broken, tore at their very core. But they couldn't bear to see him suffer, to witness the inevitable decay of his soul.

"You're asking me to defy fate, to go against everything we know to be true," _________ whispered, their voice choked with emotion. "But what if... what if it's not enough? What if we try to fight this and end up losing everything?"

Ciel reached out, his hand trembling as he gently turned _______ to face him. His eyes were filled with a mixture of determination and vulnerability, his voice filled with unwavering conviction.

"I know the risks, __________ I know the pain and the consequences. But I can't bear the thought of losing you. I'm willing to fight, to challenge the very fabric of our existence if it means we can be together."

___________'s resolve wavered as they looked into Ciel's eyes, the intensity of his gaze piercing through their defenses. The love they once shared had been tainted by the cruel reality of their situation, but that spark still lingered, begging to be reignited.

"You're a fool, Ciel Phantomhive," ___________ whispered, a hint of a smile tugging at the corners of their lips. "But maybe... maybe it's that foolishness that drew me to you in the first place."

Ciel's heart skipped a beat as he saw the flicker of hope in _______'s eyes. He took a step closer, closing the distance between them, their bodies almost touching.

"___________, I know it won't be easy. I know we'll have to face countless obstacles, but I'm willing to fight for us. I'm willing to face whatever comes our way. Together."

He takes a step forward, his eyes locked onto _________, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and concern. "You need to understand, __________. You mean the world to me, and I can't bear to see you in danger or gone from my sights. I would do anything to protect you, even if it means going against your wishes."

Ciel's voice softens, his eyes searching theirs. "Please, _________, don't put yourself in harm's way and just disappear like that. I can't stand the thought of losing you. Your safety is my utmost priority. Please understand." _________ scoffs at the earls words, shaking their head as _______ looks him in the eyes. An icy cold glare directed right at him. "Understand? You expect me to understand? Really, that's rich coming from the one who sold his soul to the devil!" _________ says, grabbing Sebastian by the collar and pulling the demon closer. "You're gonna end up getting eaten by this guy and you're telling ME these things? Seriously, you're a piece of shit. How can you say you care when you have the gall to throw your life away and expect someone you love to accept that? Bullshit!"

___________ lets go of the demon butler, standing from their seat and raising their arms in a sort of presenting pose. "Tell ya what, I'll make a contract too! And maybe we can all live to die! Wouldn't that be fucking grand?!" Ciel's heart sinks at ______'s words, the pain of their anger and frustration hitting him like a thousand daggers. He takes a step back, his eyes wide with shock and hurt. He never intended to hurt her, never wanted to burden her with the weight of his own choices.*

"_________... I... I never meant to... I never wanted to cause you pain," Ciel's voice trembles, his voice filled with genuine remorse. "I only wanted to protect you, to keep you safe. But I understand now... I understand that my actions have hurt you, that my choices have consequences."

He takes a deep breath, his voice filled with a mix of sorrow and determination. "I can't change the fact that I made a contract with Sebastian, that my life is bound to his until the very end. But I promise you, _________, I will do everything in my power to ensure your safety. I won't let you be hurt because of me. I... I care too much for you to let that happen."

Ciel's voice cracks, tears welling up in his eyes. "I'm so sorry, _________. I'm sorry for everything. I don't deserve your forgiveness, but please... please know that I love you, and I will do whatever it takes to make things right. Even if it means... even if it means letting you go." _________stares at the earl a good bit, weighing her options before sighing and walking over to Ciel. "You're still a little shit but.. Fine."

___________ then turning to face Ciel gain with a less glaring look, mostly softened. "C'mon, you're ere to take me 'home' aren't you? Or should I leave you here with twinkie? Sure enough we have a lot to talk about..."

Ciel's heart skips a beat as _________ agrees to return with him, a glimmer of hope igniting within him. He nods, his voice filled with relief and determination. "Yes, let's go home. There's much we need to discuss."

He turns to Sebastian, a silent plea in his eyes. "Sebastian, please make the necessary preparations for _________'s return to the Phantomhive Manor. Ensure that everything is in order and that they feel welcomed."

Sebastian bows slightly, his voice smooth and composed. "Of course, my Lord. I shall make the arrangements immediately."

Ciel takes _________'s hand gently, a mix of gratitude and affection in his eyes. "Thank you, _________. Thank you for giving me another chance, for not completely shutting me out. I promise, I will make things right, and we will find a way to face our challenges together."

As they make their way back to the Phantomhive Manor, Ciel's mind races with a flurry of emotions. He knows that their path won't be easy, that their love will be tested time and time again. But he is determined to fight for their future, to carve out a destiny that defies the odds stacked against them.

And as they step into the manor, hand in hand, Ciel's heart is filled with a newfound sense of hope and purpose. The journey ahead may be treacherous, but together, they will face it head-on, bound by a love that transcends the limitations of their fates.

"Let's go home. There are things we need to discuss, truths that need to be revealed. I want to make things right, to find a way to protect you and ensure your happiness. I... I love you, _________, and I will do whatever it takes to make things right between us."

Ciel turns to Alois, his voice sincere. "Thank you, Alois, for your understanding and assistance. I promise I will make amends for the pain I've caused."

Ciel takes ________'s hand in his, his grip gentle yet firm. "Let's face this together, ________. Let's find a way to navigate the challenges that lie ahead and create a future that we both deserve."

With those words, Ciel leads _______ away from the scene, their journey home filled with uncertainty but also a glimmer of hope. "Yeah yeah, can we just talk about this another time and not here? Yeesh." Either way, the three go back to the Phantomhive manor. The two in question now sitting in Ciel's office looking to try and speak to one another properly this time

"So... What now? You gonna apologize for breaking my heart again or what?" _______ looks at Ciel sitting across from them, half-joking as ______ says this. True, he should probably apologize further for his words and actions since he decided to pursue them. He was cruel for it, and a complete fool. But no matter if he will have to give his soul to the devil, his love for her is true. However long or short his life shall be, he'll still love _______ ________. The individual before him shifts in place a bit as he stares at them. He can never deny how they make his heart race with just a single look. Their beauty is unmatched...

"If you're actually true, with your feelings or whatever, what about Elizabeth? She's still your fiancé C. It won't be easy and good for both of us. Sorry to say, but I dropped into this world with nothing. I can't just become some kind of side chick when I know your fiancé loves you as much. Despite her being your cousin, didn't your parents plan this back then? What's gonna happen??" _______ asks, their statements clear and true, yes, Ciel does have Elizabeth, he is to be betrothed to her. And yet, even when it had been decided since his birth, he cannot deny who he has fallen for. His heart longs for _______, no one else will do.
