A Brush with the Past

Herro Radies.~

You whip around to find a pair of grey eyes above yours. 'Elden.' You both smirk. 'What are you planning to do?' How is he going to be around me without Percy and Emma getting suspicious?

"Haven't thought that far ahead. I was more worried about fitting into this society. Public indecency is a very serious offense in London." You look down at his sleek charcoal suit with a white shirt and a green broach adorning his neck. His long hair was pulled back and tie in a low ponytail. 'Me gusta.' He chuckles softly. A man clears his throat to your left.

"(F/N), is this man bothering you?" Percy spits as he places his hand on your waist. You look at Percy, shocked. 'Bish what? Oh yeah, he doesn't know about Elden n such. Elden can stick up for himself, right Elden?' Elden switches his gaze at you and makes the "Jean 'huh' face" and then shakes it off.

"He is a...fr-acquaintance of mine." Percy just squints at me deciding to believe me or not. 'Fix it.'

"I'm the reason (F/N) is here in this time frame." Elden says loud and proud. 'What if other people hear you?!? Quiet it down!' Elden continues smirking as if he didnt hear me. Percy's jaw about pops outta place at Elden's blatancy. I couldn't help but calm down and let out a giggle; Emma was intimating her father across the room. Huge eyes, mouth agape, eyebrows scrunched together, so cute. At least on her. I reach over to Percy and tap his shoulder lighly, startling him. He shakes his head and looks to you with questioning eyes. You smile weakly and nod.

"Uh-huh. So..." Percy let go of you and scratched the back of his neck with the now free hand. You took a slight step to your right to replace a comfortable distance between you two.

~Time skip because I don't feel like repeating the speech again. Elden did NOT tell Percy about the ravenous piece of his soul infesting your soul, some things are best left unsaid. Elden also said that you're transported from the future, not another realm.~

"Wow." Was the only thing Percy has uttered throughout the speech other than a few grunts to show he was listening. He was currently rubbing the area between his brows with both hands. 'I think his brain just gave up. Look, a bit of smoke is pouring from his left ear.' Elden facepalms at your stupid remarks. Emma ran up and snatched your hand.

"I wanna show you something cool!" You beamed and trailed behind the skipping girl. After traveling through a few isles, you heart stops as a tall, black figure is standing with a cat stuffed animal. The cat was grey with a black eye patch. 'BASSSYYYYYY!!!!' Your heart remembers how to work again and begins beating rapidly. 'Should I say hi or wait for another chance. But what if there isn't another chance. I would regret not taking this oppurtunity. Bassy may be able to smell my hybrid soul and attack; or he would take me here for I'm the best mate he has found. Pfft, yeah right. That's just my weird side coming out. Go away. Uuuummm, what was I doing again...OH Yeah! Sebas-chan is standing in front of me with pink eyes..WHAT!?!' You snap out of it to find it's face a foot away from yours but somehow eye level. You try to gasp but no air reaches your lungs. A strong force was holding you above the ground and eye level with him. You reach up to his hand and grip at it erratically. Your eyes begin to spew tears. 'ELDEN!!'

"Back off!" Elden yells. The corners of your vision fade and a maroon crawls into its place. Air. Somehow air rushes into your lungs as you feel the pressure against your neck release. Strong arms encase your shaking body to their warm chest. They smell like your (L/G)'s perfume/cologne. Breathing becomes easier as you practically melt into the warm mass.

"(F/N)?" A voice coaxes you. It sounds far away and distorted. You snuggle harder into the warmth as it begins to vibrate. You open your eyes to see a broad chest with a red thing into the middle. 'Shiny.' You reach up to touch as a tough hand clasps it.

"Are you okay?" You tilted your head at him. 'Don't you remember what just happened? The whole 'Strangling' incident?' You look up to Elden, he's shaking his head. 'I do.'

"You just passed out, most likely from blood loss." You scowl at him before sitting up and looking around you. Emma, Percy, the clerk, Ciel, and Sebastian are all looking down at you. You flush from the weight of the stares. Emma and Percy are squatting on the ground closer to you while Ciel, Sebastian, and the clerk are standing 5 feet away with worried looks. Except for Ciel, his eye looked worried but his face was cool. You freak out a bit and take security in Elden's chest. 'What kind of blood loss?'

"From the nose, I believe you had too much on your mind going on at once." He whispers into the top of your head. You shake your head against his disheveled suit coat. 'Why must I be this smooth?' Elden chuckles. He grips your shoulders and pushes you up. He looks you in the eyes.

"Its alright, no one is judging you. We were just worried, mainly me, about your health." 'What if its a side effect of me hybrid-ness?'

'That's what I was worried about until I saw Sebastian. Your physically fine. I've seen you freak out like this while watching him, also, your mind gets very jumbled with thoughts. Its like a minuscule break down.' His voice echos in your head shocking you. 'Forgot you could do that.' You shyly glance back at everyone. Ciel and Sebastian are whispering to each other, the clerk was scrubbing a red stain from the wooden floor, Percy is just watching me intently and Emma is evilly smiling at me. 'Cute little shit.' She got up and walked over to Sebastian. 'Oh hell nah! What does she think she's doing?' You stand up.

"Emma!" You yelp at her too late. She was looking at you with a hand covering her mouth and Bassy's ear. He was also looking at you confused before smirking. '2. 2 cute little shits.' You stumble towards them before stopping. 'How close can I get before he strangles me for being too close to his bocchan?' Sebastian stands to his full height making you tilt your head up. He slowly takes 3 steps towards you before looking down upon you. You felt dwarfed looking up to 6' 1" man.

"Are you alright, madam?" He questions, making your inner fangirl get loose at the knees.

"Y-yeah." God this was awkward, he looked totally chilled while you must be sweating like a whore in church. (Sorry if my words offend you...i'm naturally blunt and have a strange humor.) You were mindlessly picking at the edge of gauze at your wrist, just under the cuff. His eyes shift to your nimble fingers before reaching to them. He stops just inches away before retreating.

"My master wishes you health. Be seeing you." He nods and winks before turning to follow his master. They exit the threshold confidently. You subconsciously walk to the window pane in the door. Sebastian guides Ciel into the carriage and follows behind him. They both lean forward and smirk at you. 'Ciel doesn't smirk... What are they planning?' You smile back and raise your hand, not fully waving but enough to show that its the same, while they head off to who knows where. 'Let's just go along with it.' You turn to Emma and tilt your head, along with raising an arm to her. She giggles and accepts your embrace.

"Shall we continue shopping?" You question loudly to the two confused males. You look at Elden who looks surprised you acknowledged him to be included in the 'spree'. Percy smiles kindly while walking towards the door and opens it. You all walk on to the next store.

Sorry about the shitty ending. I'm going to start the next chapter right after this. I actual started writing the 'nose-bleed' incident in all seriousness before thinking over how Sebastian would really react. Its a bit weird and I'm lazy.
