He'll Protect Me, I'm His. (Y/N x Sebastian)

Getting Better

I've been working here for 3 years so far, i barely talk to anyone cause of my bad social skills and your practical mute cause of nervousness and fear.

I was cleaning dishes when i heard a loud bag from the oven, i turned my head to find myself and the room covered in smoke and dust. Baldroy tried using dynamite to cook again! I look up at him, and he just scratches his neck in nervousness and confusion.

"Awe, come on. It should have worked!" He yells to himself at how much he trusted in himself that it'll work.

"Baldroy!" We here Sebastian storm onto the room and look at the mess. He rubs his rinkled nose in frustration.
"How many times do I need to tell you? You can't use dynamite to cook." He simply says to baldroy.

Baldroy shrugs. "I know, I know. I'm sorry." He says nonchalantly, still rubbing his neck.

I'm just stood staring at the mess around, I grabbed a towel and started wiping the dust off of the surfaces. Sebastian walks up to me and puts his hand on mine to stop mine from moving.

"No need, you head to the garden and help Finny out in the garden. This isn't your fault, so you sh-ant need to clean it. Leave this to baldroy." He says the last part glaring at Baldroy. I look at him then at my hand. I nod before heading outside.

Finny is the one closest to me out of everyone. He respects the fact that I don't talk, and he tries his best to help with my social skills. I head towards the greenhouse where he works, and I enter after lightly knocking.

He turns around as I enter, "Hey Y/N, you okay?" He asks, tilting his head in curiosity. I just nod, and he accepts that. "I'm guessing baldroy blew up the oven again? And Sebastian sent you here?" He goes back to working and feeding the flowers. I nod again, this hadn't happened only once cause it's normal for Baldroy to try and 'Quicken' the cooking system.

*A few minutes later.*

I've been helping Finny with the gardening, but then I was starting to get worried, What if I had stayed in the kitchen and helped? What if Baldroy hates me now!? I then started thinking of scenarios until I was brought back to the real world by Finny shaking me vigorously.

Sebastian came to the garden to tell me the kitchen was clean, but he just saw me being shaken. He ran and stopped Finny. "Is that a way to treat a woman? Shake them?" He asks Finny, making sure im okay. "She was day dreaming, I just wanted to help." I rub my eyes and fix my posture.

"Well, that was very kind of you, but you should be more gentle." Sebastian, let's go of my shoulder with a light blush. I looked at him, and I wanted to ask if he was okay. I look at Finny, and he can tell I want to say something. He nods softly at me to say it. He's been helped me boost my confidence, especially at my talking.

I look at Sebastian. "Are..." I whisper before looking down, Finny didn't hear, but Sebastians did. "Are.... you...." I stutter, I haven't talked right in years, so my voice is basically gone. "Are you... okay...?" I ask, feeling stupid and embarrassed at how long that took for me to say.

I ran out of the green house, my face red and embarrassed. Finny watches me with a smile, a proud smile.

*Sebastian's PoV:*

I'm very confused. Did I do something? I look at Finny. "Did I do something wrong?" Finny turns to me. "Not at all, actually I'm thankful. You see- Y/N has a type of disorder or trauma from her past, I don't know, really, but it hurt her mentally, and she hasn't talked since she's been here." He tells me, I feel a bit happy know, the first person she's talked to in years is me.

*Y/N's PoV (again):*

I ran into the kitchen to find it clean and cleaner than before. I hear over to the sink to find all the dishes washed even tho i didn't finish them before. I just head to my room. My face flushed red with embarrassment but also... excitement? Whilst I was walking towards my room, I heard a voice, Ciel, my master. "Y/N," He says.

I turn to look at him, I do a quick bow before lifting my head. "Do you know where Sebastian is?" He asks, noticing my silence. I nodded and pointed out the window. He seemed a little confused till he asked, "In the garden?" I nod quickly.

He understood, "Well, thank you. Have you always been this quiet, I've never heard you talk?" He asks. I don't know how to answer, so I just stare at the floor. He looks confused, but he shrugs it off with a quick "Well, thank you." He says before walking towards the garden, I guess to find Sebastian.

I turn and head to my room, but on my way there, I feel a hand on my shoulder, I quickly jump in surprise, and I turn around to find Sebastian. He looks down at me with a soft smile, softer, then usual. "Finny told me you don't talk much. I also didn't hear what you said before you ran off..." He pauses, crouching down to reach my face. "Mind retelling me what you said?"

My face flushed red at the thought of me talking again, I looked at the floor, but he used his hand to lift my chin up. "Tell me again." He says, his face close to mine. "I-i..." I stutter at my words. "I-i ask-ked..." I pause for a second before continuing. "I-i asked... if you... w-were... okay...? Y-your..." getting a little better at my words. "Your... face was.... a little red..." I look at the floor before looking at him. His smile was softer.

*Sebastian's PoV:*

Damn she's so cute! The stutter and her little flushed face. I think I made her even more nervous with the way I grabbed her chin, and she asked if I was okay? She's way too cute! "Ah, yes. I'm perfectly fine, my love."
