Flames of Passion *Sebastian X Reader*

Chapter 20: I'll Protect You

Sebastian P.O.V

As I collected the towels and folded them neatly, I held them in my arms and continued to walk to each guest room. I walked down a long hallway as I heard a faint voice call my name.

'That sounded like Flame.' I thought as I continued walking.

"Flame did you ca- Flame! What happened?!" I yelled as I turned the corner and saw Flame on the floor with her head in her hands, whimpering in pain.

"Sebastian... I-" I cut her off as I held a finger to her lips. She was in too much pain to talk.

"Shh, don't talk. Conserve your energy. I'll take you to my room." I said as I saw her getting weaker. I lifted her up in my arms and left the towels on the floor.

I started carrying her to my room and looked down at her, a frown playing on my lips. I saw her face twist in pain for a second before it returned to its normal expression.

'She must've passed out from the pain...' I thought as I swiftly opener the door to my room and carried her over to the bed. I pulled up the covers and laid her down, pulling the covers up and over her. I looked at her with concern before leaning down and pecking her lips softly.

I heard a faint knock on the door. I turned around and noticed the door open slightly, revealing Lilliana. She peeked through the gap of the door slightly.

"S-sebastian? What happened?" She asked in a soft voice.

"Flame was in pain and passed out. I'll ask her some questions when she wakes up. Come on, we should let her rest." I said as I glanced at Flame once more and led Lily out of the room. I closed the door behind myself and made my way towards the towels that I had dropped before.

I picked up the towels and delivered them to each room before heading to the young Masters room.

"Master." I said as I knocked on the door.

"Come in." I heard from the other side of the door. I turned the cold doorknob and walked in, bowing at Ciel. I closed the door behind me and walked to stand infront of Ciel's desk.

"What is it Sebastian?" He asked, clasping his hands together and resting his chin on the back of his hands.

"It's Flame... She passed out from pain earlier and I don't think she should work for now as she will need to heal." I said, furrowing my eyebrows in concern.

"Is that so? Well I agree that she shouldn't work. Make sure you ask her what happened when she wakes up. Was that all?" He asked, his face showing the tiniest hint of concern but quickly returning to his stoic expression.

"Yes Master. I shall get to work on dinner." He nodded and I bowed, making my way out of the room and towards the kitchen.

"Mister Sebastian! We heard a ruckus going on. Is everything okay?!" I turned around to see Mey-Rin and Finny running towards me, worried looks on their faces. I sighed and turned around completely.

"No, Flame has passed out and is now laying in her bed. Now please, get back to work." I said as I turned around and continued heading towards the kitchen, hearing the worried whispers that were shared between the two.

Lilliana P.O.V

I waited outside the door until Sebastian was out of sight. I turned around and put my small hand on the cold doorknob. I turned it and opened the door, peeking through the gap.

"Flame?"

No response.

I opened the door more and walked in, shutting it behind me. I made my way across the soft carpet towards the bed, lifting up the blankets of the bed and crawling in, fitting my tiny body next to Flame's. I moved closer and rested my head on her chest and looked up at her. I glanced up at her face, seeing it twist is pain before relaxing again.
