One Shots

Sebastian x Neko!Reader: Scaredy Cat(Black Butler)

You walk down the rainy street, soaked to the bone. You flinch as thunder rolls and let out a little scream as you see lightning flash and hear it crash. Thunderstorms were the only thing that scares you and you aren't proud of it.

You are looking for a place to wait the storm out when you bump into someone shorter than you. You hear them stumble a bit and turn to say your apologies while someone quite taller than you helps them regain their balance.

"Sebastian I order you to figure out who that person is. No one knocks over the Earl Phantomhive and..." the shorter of the two orders.

"He's dead. At least I thought he was. Are you not really dead Ciel Phantomhive? What are you really?" you gleefully ask. "I was sure I could outlive the Phantomhive family, but now you show up. What a surprise!"

You giggle once again before running off. You know a bit about Ciel and his butler, Sebastian. Ciel had been the queen's guard dog and would do apparently anything for her. His butler, Sebastian, seemed to be as loyal as could be.

You aren't worried about being caught or anything like that as you didn't mind. You just don't want to be out in the cold rainy streets.

As you jog down the streets you start heading to an acquaintance's home. You know how difficult it is to find someone there with all of the hiding spots. Despite being slower than normal you decide to ignore the fact that now you felt like the prey.

You leap from side to side as you wait outside the place you are trying to get in. Normally you would get the key or break down the door, but tonight was not a time to do that. Instead, you are waiting for the grey haired male to open the door so you can hide inside.

"Sebastian can't you move any faster!?" Ciel yells from behind you.

It is at this moment that you just give up and start scaling the wall. You aren't sure if there was a backdoor or not, but you don't care. You are just going to have to wing it.

You hop over the front sign and sprint across the rooftop. Jumping to the ground behind the place, you look for a back door. It takes you a minute or two to find one as the back area is so dark but finally you spot one.

You open the door with surprising ease and enter the almost equally dark building. Closing the door quietly behind you, or as quietly as you can manage, you catch your breath. If you remembered Sebastian was a demon, but you didn't know how well he would be able to find you.

Walking fast, you head into the parlor full of coffins and open one about your size. You close it as softly as possible yet it still makes an audible thump as it encloses you with darkness.

You hear the door being kicked open and muffled footsteps hitting the floor. It seems to you that the game has just begun.

"Sebastian are you sure they would come in here? Isn't it a bit of a pain to get in here, lock the door back up, and hide? Seems like a waste of time if you ask me," Ciel's muffled voice asks his butler.

"I do believe it is possible my dear lord. Shall I find you a place to sit?"Sebastian replies.

"No need. I can stand on my own."

The conversation ends and you hear them start to open the coffins at random. You aren't as worried as you should be. The chances of them giving up is zero, but the still have a better chance of finding the owner, Undertaker as he is called, first.

You close your eyes and steady your breathing to a long and quiet pace. You are already drowsy so you don't see the harm in falling asleep. While it isn't going to help you, you start to hum as softly as you can. You often do this as it helps calm your nerves.
