Garden of Thorns: Black Butler x Reader

3- Party

You spent the entire morning picking out what to wear. You were thinking about wearing something appropriate for a dinner party, but from what you know, that guy is probably really informal. You picked out a plaid dress of your favorite color because you figured the rest of his guests followed fashion fads. The dress had short sleeves that were a little poofy at the end, which was right below your elbows. You could see the black corset on the outside of the dress. The skirt ended about an inch above your ankles, and they showed off your beautiful, black leather stiletto boots. You put on a choker with your favorite gem and a pair of earrings that complimented the colors of your dress. You fix your hair to your liking, and this time you looked at your yellowish green irises. You liked the way they looked.

Soon after, you heard crowds of people outside and some music playing. Seems like it's just started. You carefully avoid bumping into everyone blocking your door, and you successfully make it to his apartment. Ronald spotted you right away.

"I knew you would come!" He smiled.

"Well, you said it yourself: I don't really know any of the other reapers. I was hoping it'd be a good chance to find a better looking gentleman than you." You teased.

"Ohoho! That so? You can try, but I'll be waiting." He handed you a glass of London Dry Gin. "There's a dining table in the kitchen if you wanna sit down and have a proper meal; might be packed already, though. I've also brought my friend, Bravat. Folks love fortune readings from this guy. I have a pool table, and everyone here loves to dance, so knock yourself out. I'll be greeting others while you socialize and find some hotter fellow. I mean, you're not going to, but why stop you? It'll just make you appreciate me even more." He winked.

You decided to head over to the pool table. It seemed like everyone was cheering for the German reaper, Sascha, because he was brutally beating his opponent, Othello. The crowd gathered around them barely let you see it, though, so you walked over to the fortune teller. It was a short line, so you waited. By the time you were next in line, a couple of men had greeted you, and even flirted a little. It was only until now that you've realized you're one of the few woman reapers. A familiar voice called you out. You turned around to see a wolf like grin.

"I didn't think you would enjoy things like this."

"Well, honestly, I don't really know if I like this. I feel like such an outcast being pretty much the only girl here, and no one has really tried to keep a conversation with me."

"Oh, nonsense! You just need a little more getting used to thi-"

"Ma'am," someone said, "Are you ready to know your future?" It was Bravat. Wow, he looks like a model! You thought to yourself. His smile showed no sign of wrinkles, his eyelashes were long, and his unruly, purple hair literally sparkled.

"O-oh, yes.." You said sheepishly, overwhelmed by his handsome grin. He asked you to prick your finger with a needle, and he gently squeezed a drop into a cup with the word 'Fortune' in the inside. As your blood spread and changed color, his face grew more excitement. "Niyahaha!" He giggled.

"What? What is it?" you asked in confusion.

He looked up at you with wide, wondrous eyes that gleamed a little more with every word, "You have the divine protection of Sirius! Lucky you! Only so many people are in the good hands of Sirius. Now, is there a certain aspect in your life you're wondering about?" Ronald came up to you and asked if you had any luck with any cute guys.

"I'm kind of in the middle of something, Ronald." You gestured to the fortune teller.

"Oh, I see. How about you ask him if I'm proposing to you anytime soon." He wrapped his arm around you playfully, but you shoved it off.
