A Race Against Time (Black Butler x Reader)

That Girl, A Ruckus

Your room was beautiful, and that was an understatement. It was a scheme of (Y/F/C). The curtains were slightly see through and a lighter shade of    (Y/F/C), giving the whole room a tinted glow of the color. The bedspread was a combination of (Y/F/C) and (Y/S/F/C). '

'This is so much better than what all the fanfics say' you thought, taking your phone out to snap a picture. You slipped into the dress that lay on the bed. It was surprisingly loose and comfortable, so you assumed Ciel or Sebastian had taken into consideration that you weren't used to the tight corsets that most women wore. Just as you pulled the fabric over your head, you heard a knock out the door. Opening the door, you came face to face with a maid.

"I'm Mey-rin, yes I am! Master Ciel told me to walk you to the dining hall, Miss (Y/N)." she said, her voice slightly raspy, as always. You smiled at the maid, following her out of your room. She trotted down the hallway, red hair bouncing behind her with you not far behind.

"So how long have you worked for Ciel?" You asked, attempting to make small talk.

"About three years, yes I have. As you rounded the corner you walked right into a soft wall. Looking up, you gazed at the rough face of Bardroy.

"Sorry Miss, I didn't see where I was going." He said, his cigarette almost falling out of his mouth as he smiled.
"It's alright Bardroy, neither did I." You said. He stared at you in surprise, after all he never did introduce himself but somehow you knew his name. Quickly you changed the center of attention to Finny, who had just arrived at the scene.

"I, uh-" you stammered, trying to think of something to say to the gardener, if you could call him that considering he can barely do his job. To be fair, that goes for all the Phantomhive servants, and it's also part of why you loved them.

"I like your hat!" You blurted out, making the young boy jump back. He tripped over the flamethrower that Bardroy had placed down when he bumped into you. Finny grabbed onto Mey-Rin for balance, who stumbled and grabbed Bardroy, who reached out and grabbed your arm. The four of you toppled over like dominos, crashing through two double doors. You sat on top of the three, coming eye to eye with Ciel.

"...Oops?"

Silence.

Ciel's deep blue eye twitched, looking at you all in exasperation.

"What the bloody hell happened?!"

"I can explain-"

"You've only been here for half an hour and already caused this ruckus. Please explain, I wish to know how someone can have this..." He trailed off, searching for the right word.

"Talent?" Sebastian suggested.

"Yes, talent" Ciel nodded, and rested his chin on his knuckles.

"Uh, well, funny story really, but you see, we just kinda, uh, tripped. It sounds stupid but legit there's the flamethrower we tripped on right there" you stammered, embarrassed, and pointing towards Bardroy's flamethrower.

Ciel facepalmed, and you marveled at how he managed to stay all posh and majestic while facepalming.

"Sebastian clean up (Y/N) and all of this mess that someone caused." he sighed giving you a pointed look and looking at the tea that had spilled all over the floor and all over you. Strange how you never noticed it, yet now you could feel the burning hot liquid against your shoulder.

"It's okay Ciel, I can help Bardroy and get cleaned up myself" you said, not wanting to intrude on the Earl and his butler anymore. After all, they were taking in a complete stranger who claimed they were from another dimension. Sebastian stepped forward and bowed slightly, with his hand on his chest.

"My lady, I can assure you I can handle this. After all, I am one hell of a butler."
(butler was the 666th word 😂) Your heart nearly stopped as you heard Sebastian say his famous catch-phrase.
You laughed, and Ciel gave you a "yep she's definitely crazy" look. 

"Oh, nothing" you said, wiping tears from the corners of your eyes. The tea of your shoulder had significantly cooled down, so it didn't hurt you now. Plus you were too lazy to go all the way back to your room and change, so you stayed in your current clothing to eat. Sebastian cleaned up the tea and brought out the food in no time.

Your mouth watered as a plate of (F/F) was set in front of you. You practically devoured the meal and ended up with a food baby. (Basically when you eat so much you have a baby bump) Having warm food in your belly made you slightly drowsy, so you told Ciel you would retire for the night.

"Allow me to escort you, my lady."

Usually you would have declined, but you would have gotten lost in the maze of hallways and besides, who would give up a chance to be alone with the sexy demon butler? So you nodded and Sebastian placed a hand on the small of your back, leading you to your room. A small blush dusted across your cheeks, but you shook it away. Sebastian was simply being polite, right? Lost in your thoughts, you didn't realize you already arrived at your door until Sebastian snapped his fingers in front of your face.

"Forgive me, but you seemed to be deep in thought. Anything troubling you?" Now that you thought about it, you did have MANY troubles. How were you supposed to get back home? How did you even get here in the first place? Is time still going in your world as well, which would mean your grandmother thought you were missing by now? Did time even go at the same speed? A decade could have already passed, and you would never even know! You decided to keep your existential crisis of sorts quiet, merely shaking your head at Sebastian. You bid Sebastian goodnight and entered your room, collapsing on your silky bedsheets. You almost immediately fell into a deep sleep.

A/N Hi guys, so I want to start doing a thing which makes it more interactive to talk to you guys! It's inspired by this AMAZING Dan Howell fanfic called Louder by
@Hanisnotonfire07  .Seriously, go check it out! Anyways, you get to have more control over the story. For example, if would say "You walk over and choose the pink/blue dress."  And you can pick between one bolder word or the other.

Until the next chapter,
