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

Gaining a Friend

When I'm alone in my bedroom, I practice saying words since my throat doesn't hurt anymore, even tho Sebastian doesn't believe me.

I walk outside my room after putting my outfit on, and I head to the kitchen. I walk in to see all the jobs done or being done, so I head to find Sebastian again. Soon I find him with ciel, walking out of Ciels bedroom after dressing him.

"S... Sebastian...?" My voice is quiet like normal, but I'm getting better at talking, only to Sebastian, tho, and I don't know why?. "Yes Y/N? Did you need anything?" He looks down at me on curiosity. "W-what do you... need me... to do?" I ask, taking breaks in between to calm my nervousness down.

"Oh, well, nothing really bit. Would you like to help me cook? Breakfast needs to be ready for less than an hour." He asks, I nod, and i head to the kitchen. The last time I've cooked, I wasn't a servant to Lord Ciel, I was a slave and I would cook for my master. I don't really want to remember that.

I then remember what I used to cook, I was forced to make hot foods, and my master always poured them on me. I have a lot of burns on my body from that, but thanks to make-up, I cover it up. Im making an English breakfast, eggs, toast, bacon, hash browns, and cooked tomatoes.

Sebastian was cooking as well, but only little things to add to what I made. Then we put them down in the table for ciel when he sat down. I stood against the wall because I wanted to see if Ciel would like it. His face didn't change whilst eating, but that means he didn't hate it, which is a good sign!

After I headed to the garden to check on Finny, who I called My best friend! Even tho he's never heard me say that. He sees me almost instantly and waves at me. I walk up to him

"Hey Y/N, how are you doing?" I nod and put my thumbs up to show that im good. "Good, are you getting better at talking?" I just stare at him blankly. So far, I can only talk to Sebastian, and it's very quiet, so not well. I put my thumbs down, and his expression turns serious, and he puts his hand on my shoulders.

"Y/N, you just being able to talk is a massive improvement. Even if it's only to one person and very quiet, atleast your trying! That all that matters. Why don't you try and talk to me?" He pauses, "I'm your friend." I look up at him. "B..." I look away. He sighs and turns around. I look up at him, and I lean in a little. My voice goes incredibly quiet. The quieter, the easier I can talk. "Best friend..."

My voice is barely a whisper, but cause of how close I leaned into him, he heard. He span around at me and stared at me, I saw him begin to tear up. I flinched. Did I do something wrong? He then hugged me, a tight hug. I feel claustrophobia, but I stay calm. Soon, he sets go.

Out of no where Sebastian appears behind me, cause Finny to flinch and step backwards, I tilt my head confused till I hear Sebastians voice. "Y/N?" He asks, I turn to him. "I need you to wash the dishes before dinner." He tells me, but he keeps glaring at Finny, im confused.

I nod, and then I turn and wave goodbye to finny before heading to the Manner. Sebastian looked scary when he glared like that. I head to the kitchen, cleaning the dishes.

*A few hours later*

I was heading to my room when suddenly Sebastian stood in front of me and grabbed my hands. "Y/N, i need you to tell me something, now tell me the truth..." He pauses. Im confused. "Are you and Finny dating?" I flinch and shake my head. "B-best..." I pause, "frie... end..." I say in stutters. He repeats, "Best friend? He's just a friend?" I nod. He relaxes after I nod. Was he jealous?

Then, all of a sudden, he kisses the under of my ear. "Thanks for the answer, love." He then turns away and walks off, leaving me confused and flustered.

I relax after a while and I then head to my room, since it was getting late and I didn't have a job to do I get undressed and onto my casual clothes so I can sleep early. I close my eyes, yet I can't sleep cause I don't feel tired. I sit up and just sit on my bed, bored.

*Morning.*

I haven't slept all night. I was thinking about why Sebastian thought me and Finny were dating and why he kissed me, even if it was only under my ear, it was still a kiss. I get into my uniform, and I head to the kitchen, I start washing the dishes, I up earlier before anyone else cause I couldn't sleep, and there's no point since it was already morning. I wash the dishes and start cleaning around the Manner.

Soon, I hear Sebastian leave his room. He sees me cleaning, "Y/N? Why are you up this early?" I turn to him, and his eyes widen, I'm confused. "Y/N, you look exhausted." He walks up to me and strokes the under of my eyes. Do I have dark circles? "You should sleep, love." ... I look down. "I couldn't.... I wasn't tired..." I say in my oddly tired and softer than normal voice. Damn, I bet I sound as tired as I look. "Love, look at me." I look up at him. "I'm here for you if you need to talk." He says, stroking the under of my eyes.

I just stare into his eyes. He's the most comfortable person I've ever met. He's the first person I've talked to in years, and now he's worried about me, can he get even more comfortable?
