That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Attend

As for Ciel- he had gone out from boredom with his tasks in the study and had decided to take a walk. Ciel wandered through the garden, his footsteps growing heavier with each passing moment, he couldn't ignore the prickling feeling at the back of his mind. It led him to a secluded spot beneath the cherry tree, where he stumbled upon the sight he had hoped not to see.

There, in the dappled sunlight, Ciel found _______ and Sebastian engaged in a seemingly intimate picnic. His heart sank, and a surge of jealousy coursed through his veins like a venomous poison. His eyes narrowed, his normally composed expression marred by a flicker of anger and hurt.

Sebastian, ever the astute butler, noticed Ciel's presence and rose gracefully to his feet, his gaze fixed on his young master. "Ah, young master, how unexpected to find you here. I trust you have a reason for interrupting our little picnic?"

Ciel's voice was laced with thinly veiled annoyance as he struggled to maintain his composure. "Sebastian, I was under the impression that you were meant to be attending to your duties, not engaging in leisurely activities with my staff."

________ looked up, their eyes widening in surprise and concern as they saw Ciel's tense posture. They quickly rose from the picnic blanket, their voice trembling with nervousness. "C, I...I didn't expect you to find us here. We were just having a small picnic..."

Ciel's gaze flickered between _______ and Sebastian, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and vulnerability. He fought to suppress the waves of jealousy crashing against his heart, his voice cold and clipped. "I see. How convenient that both of you decided to have a 'small picnic' without informing me. I trust this is not becoming a regular occurrence?"

Sebastian's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of amusement dancing in his gaze as he assessed Ciel's reaction. He stepped forward, his voice low and smooth. "Young master, I apologize if our actions have upset you. It was not my intention to cause any distress. I simply thought _______ deserved a moment of respite from their duties."

Ciel's fists clenched at his sides, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion. "Deserved a moment of respite? And you, Sebastian, decided that it was your place to provide it? It seems you are growing quite fond of taking liberties, don't you think?"

________, caught in the middle of the brewing storm, stepped forward, their voice filled with concern. "Ciel, please, let's not argue. It was my idea to have a picnic. Sebastian was merely trying to be kind and offer me a moment of relaxation. There's no need for this tension between you two."

Ciel's eyes flickered with a mix of hurt and frustration, his voice strained as he tried to keep his emotions in check. "_______, I appreciate your intentions, but it's clear that Sebastian has crossed a line. He is my butler, not yours. I won't tolerate him overstepping his boundaries."

Sebastian's lips curled into a subtle smirk, his gaze never leaving Ciel's. "Young master, I assure you, I am well aware of my duties. But _______ holds a special place in my heart, just as they do in yours. I only sought to bring them a moment of joy, nothing more."

Ciel's temper flared, his voice rising with a mix of anger and desperation. "And what gives you the right to assume such a position in their heart? They are my staff, Sebastian. My responsibility. I won't stand idly by while you try to claim what is rightfully mine."

________, their voice filled with a mix of confusion and pleading, stepped closer to Ciel, their eyes filled with genuine concern. "C, please, let's not let this escalate, yeah? Sebastian was only trying to be nice, and I appreciate his gesture. There's no need for anything. It's not that big a deal anyways."

Ciel's expression softened, his anger giving way to a mix of vulnerability and insecurity. He hesitated for a moment, his voice barely above a whisper. "________, I... I apologize for my outburst. It's just... I... Nevermind"

Ciel's voice trailed off, his emotions bubbling beneath the surface as he struggled to find the right words. Ciel's heart ached with a mix of longing and frustration as he struggled to suppress his feelings. He knew he couldn't admit his jealousy or vulnerability, not now, not when the emotions were still raw and overwhelming. Instead, he chose to act on his impulses, to take _______ away from the situation that caused him such turmoil.

Without another word, Ciel reached out and gently took _______'s hand in his own, his touch a mixture of possessiveness and tenderness. His voice held a note of command as he addressed Sebastian. "Sebastian, stay here. _______ and I need some time alone. I trust you can handle the cleanup."

Sebastian inclined his head with a knowing smile, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Of course, young master. I shall take care of everything. Enjoy your time together."

As Ciel led _______ away from the picnic area, his grip on their hand tightened, his steps purposeful and determined. His emotions swirled within him, a tempest threatening to break free, but he kept them hidden beneath a façade of stoicism. He knew he had to find a way to address his jealousy in a more composed manner, but for now, he focused on the immediate need to create distance and find solace in _______'s presence.

Ciel led _______ through the garden, the scent of blooming flowers filling the air as they walked in silence. The soft rustling of leaves and the distant chirping of birds provided a soothing backdrop to their footsteps. His grip on _______'s hand remained firm, his touch a grounding force amidst the storm of emotions swirling within him.

Finally, they reached a secluded spot, a hidden alcove adorned with climbing vines and a small stone bench. Ciel released _______'s hand, his voice finally betraying a hint of vulnerability as he spoke. "I apologize for my behavior back there. It was... uncalled for. I shouldn't have let my jealousy get the better of me."

________'s eyes softened with understanding, their voice gentle as they responded. "C, it's alright. I understand that jealousy can be difficult to control, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. But please know that I value our friendship above all else. Nothing has changed between us."

Ciel's gaze met _______'s, the vulnerability in his eyes briefly exposed before he quickly masked it with a facade of composure. "I appreciate your understanding, _______. It's just... difficult for me to see someone else vying for your attention. I know we've had our moments, and I don't want to lose the bond we share."

________ reached out, their hand gently resting on Ciel's arm, their touch a comforting reassurance. "C, you're important to me, and our bond is something I cherish deeply. But please understand that Sebastian was just trying to be kind and offer me a moment of respite. I think...? I mean, it's not like the matter of our feelings has been thoroughly discussed yet..."

Ciel's grip on his emotions wavered as he looked into _______'s eyes, his voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and longing. "I... I don't want to lose you, _______. The thought of someone else taking your heart... it tears at me. But I also don't want to hold you back. I need time to sort out my own feelings, to confront this jealousy that consumes me."

________'s expression softened, their voice filled with warmth and understanding. "C, emotions and shit are hard to handle. Especially on your own, it's tough. But... It's nothing to be ashamed of or anything, we all feel, one way or another. Don't be mad at Sebs, he was just being nice is all... Okay- maybe nice is an understatement- he was definitely trying..."
