     It was strange for you to sit so near to the graveyard. You couldn't help but look back every now and then if... well... there were no zombies coming for you. Sure, you knew that was impossible, but you couldn't help. "What's wrong my dear~?" Undertaker ginned at you. "Nothing, I just feel weird with you know... our guests so near." You admitted which made him laugh for good few minutes before he calmed down and spread his hands. "A hug will make you feel better!" He said excitedly and you had to chuckle but still went for the hug. You liked it when he pulled you close and when he rested his chin on your head. All too soon the hug came to an end. "Thank you." You blushed with a smile. "No worries, humans are supposed to hug on dates, right?" He smirked and put his hand on your knee. He did that quite often but right now you blushed so dark and panic inside your mind. A date?! What does he mean?! Like a real date?! What does this mean! He probably noticed your inner distress and removed his hand, chuckling. "I didn't want to scare you, little one. Forget about it." He tried to sound happy but you noticed something in his voice. Something like... disappointment?

Undertaker's POV

He was... he expected a different reaction – like a lot of blushing, looking away and being shy, but not this. You looked scared, seriously scared. And all he could think about was that you probably already had a crush on someone else (ehm ehm... Sebastian ehm ehm...). He realized that you could just be surprised but in his brain the former theory made much more sense. He tried to tell himself that he never actually hoped for you two to be more than colleges or friends but he did quite much and that was the truth he could never change. He shook his head slightly and reached out for the picnic basket and pulled out plates and then [fav. food]. When you saw this, your eyes widened and sparkled. He felt his heart beating faster and smiled a little so you didn't notice. "How did you know?!" You smiled and already put some of the food on your plate. "That's a secret." He whispered while he was pulling out some other things like fruits and a bottle of lemonade to drink. "I hope you don't mind we share this." He said as he shook the bottle. Your light blush made him feel butterflies in his stomach. Why are you always so cute! "Anyway, tell me about yesterday. Did the earl tell you something interesting?" He grinned even though he felt jealous of those two for so many reasons. The most serious one was that they could walk down the streets with you without people giving you a strange look and that they couldn't hurt your reputation. "Well, it was okay I guess. They showed me around, took me to one of the shops that Ciel's company owns." You shrugged. "Then they showed me the Phantomhive manor and Sebastian walked me home." He noticed the blush on your face and his heart dropped. Yeah. No way he has a chance with you.

Your POV

You noticed how Undertaker's expression changed after you mentioned Sebastian's name. Why tough? You wondered what happened between them. It was impossible that he was jealous, right? Even though you'd like that... Anyway, you continued talking. "Sorry you saw that. I don't know what made him think it's okay – like I know it's a polite thing to do, but it was weird." You made a face, making him laugh. It was true that you were flattered by butler's action, don't minding the fact that gentlemen did it often for no other reason than politeness. Tired of all the thinking and talking you took a forkful of the food and happily munched it. It was as delicious as any other meal your friend cooked. "How was your day?" You asked and smiled at him. "Another body of the poison series came in." He grinned and took a bite of an apple. "Anything new?" You frowned, the case was a total mystery to you even with all the knowledge you gained during these few weeks – or months already? You smiled at the fact. Days flew by so fast when you were with him. And all the fun you had! It was probably a good thing that your parents kicked you out and you were able to meet this man. "...do you even listen little one?" You heard a familiar chuckle. "I'm sorry, I just thought about how long I've already stayed with you." You smiled but then got serious if not a bit worried. "Doesn't it bother you? Be honest please." You said a bit scared. You were so used to him and his room – sure you felt bad for taking it away from him, but he always said he didn't mind – that you couldn't imagine living anywhere else. He looked at you – well, probably since you didn't see his eyes. Then he sighed and brushed his bangs away from his eye before leaning in and cupping your cheeks with his hands. "Look into my eyes, [y/n]. I absolutely want you to stay." He said it with so much honesty it made your heart ache. And gosh, his eyes... They were the most beautiful thing you've ever seen. Their green-yellow color that looked as if it shined made you fall for him even more than before. "You're so handsome." You whispered without thinking. Well, then you both realized what was said and he pulled away with a smile and your face was all red again. "You're beautiful too and I'm not saying that just because you told me." He grinned at you and you smiled. This was what you liked the most – that it never got awkward between you two.

Hard to say how long you've been at the cemetery but you got back home with the sunset. It was nice and fun, the food was delicious and you talked all those hours about whatever came to your minds. Unfortunately you still didn't get to know his name but at least you've finally seen his face (and it was definitely worth the wait). You really had a good time and a lot of new memories to never forget. Both of you were still laughing when you turned around the corner to the street that led home. He stopped in front of the door. "Did you enjoy out picnic?" He grinned widely and wiggled on the spot. "You mean our date?" You raised a brow with amused smile, which quickly turned embarrassed since Undertaker put a finger under your chin and leaned down so his face was only inches from yours. "Sure. Let's call it our first date." He whispered and opened the door with a grin. First. You couldn't hold back a smile and followed him inside but came to a stop when you saw Sebastian and Ciel inside. "Good you're back. We've waited for a long time." Ciel said and yawned. Sebastian gave Undertaker a suspicious look while the silver-haired man put a hand on your shoulder and pulled you close. What was happening?
