You wake up dazed as someone knocks on the door. You manage to sit up and answer.

"C-come in.."

You see that it's Sebastian at the door.

"Hello Miss y/n. The young master Phantomhive and I would like to show you around, we will of course have breakfast before. If you could just follow me to the dining hall for food."

You slowly get up out of the bed and slip on your shoes. Sebastian watches you as you make your way to the door. He smiles and starts leading, going slowly enough for you to keep up. As you get to the stairs you smell the wonderful food, it makes you hurry down and into the dining hall.

You see master Phantomhive at the head of the table, as emotionless as ever. He watches you as you get to the table and stand looking at the food. Sebastian pulls you a chair and you sit. You thank Sebastian for showing you to the dining hall and pulling the chair. He looks surprised as you do a slight bow.

"Sebastian doesn't need that, he's just my butler after all."

You turn your attention to master Phantomhive who's glaring at you and Sebastian.

"Oh.....I'm...um..sorry?"

You try to think of what to say as he glares at you. He turns back to his food and shoos off Sebastian.

"Now then y/n, why have you come here? You must have run away, everyone is looking for you back home."

"I wanted to see this for myself. My mansion back home is very lonely a-"

"What makes you think my mansion will be any less lonely?"

"Oh.....I just thou-"

"You foolish girl, you shouldn't have come here, and you shouldn't have run away."

You start to cry at how harsh he is, everyone was right about him. Sebastian appears out of no where from behind you. He pulls a napkin off the table and catches your tears. You slightly blush at his gesture.

"Now now, there's no need for crying Miss y/n."

You see his smiling face as he dries your eyes. Master Phantomhive glares at his kind act and tries to act as if he didn't notice it.

"Oh......t-thank you..Sebastian.."

"It is my job, my lady."

He bows and puts the wet napkin on his shoulder. You watch as he goes back to the kitchen.

"Sometimes I wonder what goes through his head.."

You look at master Phantomhive as he says this.

You try all the food and try to ignore master Phantomhive's rude speaking.

"Y/n. Would you like to tour the grounds?"

You look at master Phantomhive as he says this.

"Oh yes!"

You get butterflies in your stomach thinking of touring the grounds!

"Well then follow me."

You start to get up, but then you remember something.

"What can I call you?"

"You may call me Ciel."

"Okay!"

You smile at his name.

Sebastian accompanies you as you tour the grounds with Ciel.

"Ooh this is lovely!"

You look at the rose bushes that line the walkway.

Sebastian looks at you then goes off. You wonder where he went, but Ciel breaks your thoughts by walking along showing you around.

You happily skip and run around looking at the wonderful garden. You see Sebastian's tail coat. You go over to see him arranging flowers.

"Oh hello lady y/n."

"Hello Sebastian. What are you doing?"

He smiles and picks one more flower. He sets it in the pot and steps back.

"You said you admired the flowers. I decided to make a pot of flowers for you."

"Oh...thank you!"

You smile as he picks one of the flowers out and hands it to you. You are wary of touching it, for it's a rose, and roses have thorns. He sets it behind your ear and steps back.

"Beautiful."

You blush and realize the rose has not pricked you. You take it out of your hair and touch it gently. He was so kind to cut off the thorns. He bends his elbow slightly in front of you.

"If you would like, there's more to see. Would you like to look around?"

You accept his arm and look around. Forgetting completely about Ciel. He's busy yelling at a man who is holding a full-grown tree. You wonder how that is possible. You get your mind off of the subject as Sebastian guides you around the garden. You take the time to smell the roses, haha! You laugh to yourself as you think that.

"What is so funny lady y/n?"

"Oh....just, funny thoughts."

You spend the rest of your day with a certain butler, who's lovely red eyes, are on you.
