Their Assassin {Black Butler x Reader}

Eight

Around you was darkness. Only that and little bit of light, but that seemed miles away. You felt trapped and at the same time you felt like you could be released any moment, like a jack in a box. How did you end up in this dark space of nothing? You didn't know, but you did know that you wanted to escape it. Of course the releasing part wasn't to you to decide. You simply had to wait until someone turned the handle and the music would start playing.

"All around the mulberry bush the monkey chased the weasel, the monkey thought 'twas all in fun..." A deep sigh left your pink lips. "Pop goes the weasel." You sang the last sentence of the most popular part of the nusery rhyme. Normal people would think you were crazy, gone into a world of your own. But, of course, that wasn't the case. Well, maybe a little bit, but for the most part you were sane.

You didn't feel anything touchable underneath you. Somehow that didn't make you scared. A rather relaxing feeling was moving through your body at this moment.

"A penny for a spool of thread..." And so you continued.

"I told you to just knock her out, Sebastian." The voice is the Earl was, as always, monotone as he gazed down upon the girl. [Y/N] was mumbling in her sleep. She sang the same song over and over again.

"Pop goes the weasel..."

Silence for a few seconds. Ciel looked at his butler for an explenaition.

"The dosis was a little bit too high, my excuses." Sebastian had never made a mistake, even this time. He had'nt gave her this accidently. The demon had his own reasons for his actions, but never was he going to tell his Earl those.

"All around the mulberry bush, the monkey chased the weasel."

"I'll be leaving now. Call me when she wakes up." The butler bowed his head to his master.

"Yes young master." He spoke to Ciel. Quickly after that Ciel left the room to go to his own.

The dark haired boy was deep in though while walking down the long hallway. His fiance would be coming in the morning and he had'nt planned anything. Should he ask her to come back another time? He knew Elizabeth wouldn't accept something like that. The young female would demand to stay. She would never leave just like that. Ciel cringed by the thought of her high pitched voice screaming his name. Maybe if he just didn't answer the door she would eventually go home. 'I'll see what happens tomorrow, now it's time to sleep.' The young Earl through as he entered his gigantic room. He was still wearing his night clothes so he could just lie down and go to sleep. Atleast that was the plan. As soon as his head touched the soft pillow he felt wide awake. Ciel knew that this night was going to be one of these nights were he kept overthinking again, were the thoughts would slowly suffocate him until morning came. The boy hated those nights. That's why he always kept Sebastian at his bedside. The fear of his memories and being all alone was too much to handle. Deep inside him he hoped that you were the one that could keep that lonely feeling away and replace it with a loved one, but he wasn't ready to accept that yet. Deep inside, Ciel just wanted to be loved, just like Alois.

Ciel closed is eyes, that had been mindlessly pointed to the ceiling before. It's time to sleep. He thought. With his head filled with thoughts and a slight worry for the lady a few rooms across, he finally fell asleep.

"...The monkey thought 'twas all in fun..."

Silence for a few seconds.

"Pop goes the weasel." This time the voice wasn't yours. Pointy teeth were shown in a wide grin. A male looking down to your lying figure. Your soft voice almost gave him chills. Almost.

"Aren't you a pretty one, dear." He slowly licked his lips. "Maybe I could just take y-"

"Sutcliff." Sebastian spoke up from the opening of the door. The red haired reaper looked up from the young assasin, his eyes lighting up by the sound of the voice from the handsome demon. Since Grell layed his eyes upon the attractive butler he took a special intrest in him, maybe even a little more than that. Still he saw something special in you too, something he would never find in Sebastian. Something cute.

Grell grinned even wider. "Well good day, Mr. Michaelis." He seductively licked his lips, but Sebastian kept a stone look on his flawless face. "Would you be so kind to introduce me to this human you keep here?" His long coat floated on the rough waves made of the wind. He had kept the window open when he entered the Phantomhive Manor and it was letting all kinds of natural elements into the room.

A small groan of annoyance escaped the lips of the raven haired butler. Not that he had put even a little bit of effort in keeping it back. "What is it that you are looking for here?" Sebastian took a few steps into the room. He stopped when he had reached the side of the bed you were lying on, Grell infront of him on the opposite of the bed. He looked into the shinigami's eyes with his piercing red orbs.

Grell frowned at the protective hand Sebastian laid upon the bed. The soft sound of his reaper book {I don't know if these things have specific names anymore :S} sounded through the rather large room. "The name of this girl was metioned in the list of people I would have to reap this night, but it dissapeared just as I arrived here." Grell's eyes changed to small slits, anger and jealousy viewed in them. "What is this girl doing here?" Yes, he thought you were interesting, but only as a cute little pet. The burning desire he felt for Sebastian was more important for him.

Sebastian simply ignored his question and grasped your wrist softly between his slender fingers. "What do you mean by dissapeared?" The sun was already making its way to the sky and brought light into the room.

"I think he means that it vanished from the paper."

Hey guys!

My excuses for such a late update, I was busy. Sorry for that. But the reason I'm adding an author's note at this chapter is because I would like some feedback on how I added Grell's character. Does he even seem a bit like Grell? I have a hard time working with his character since he has quite the difficult personality, atleast for someone like me. I hope some of you leave your thoughts in the comments or something so I can make next chapter an excellent one!

See you later!
