His Caged Owl

Burning Fluff

Short update, but fluff.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Where am I? Was my first question, it was all white, some blue specs floated about "It is not your time. Go back." A smooth sweet voice spoke "I don't know how." I grumbled and folded my arms over my chest "The door, child. Go through." The voice spoke as a door appeared before me, it was brown with a good hue around it, the handle was silver. I reached for it and pushed, without thinking I stumbled in and fell continuity blackness once again.

I fell, no end in sight, white feathers where floating around me now with blue flowers. "I've had enough of this! What is going on!?" I shouted as a searing pain shocked my body causing me to gasp sharply my body felt like it was on fire, burning from the inside. It was unbearable.

I bolted awake, my body was sore and achy, I barely noticed I was screaming in agony till Tanaka, in his original form rushed in and shushed me "It is alright M'Lady. You are safe, here please take these, they will help sooth the pain." He grabbed tiny pills and a glass of water "S-seb-seba-" "Sebastian is taking care of Lord Ciel, he wasn't badly injured thank heaven. But he inhaled a lot of smoke from the fires that engulfed London. Now please, take these." He held my chin gently as I opened my mouth, he plopped the pills on my tongue and lifted the cup so I could drink. The pills went down smoothly but my throat still felt rough "Please get some rest. I will notify Sebastian and the others. He is such a loyal butler, he refused to leave your side till he knew you were properly patched up before checking on Master Ciel." He brushed my bangs back, fluffed my pillow before leaving. Black took over my vision as I passed out.

I slept without dreams, once I awoke again Sebastian was reading something in a chair near my bed, he seemed disheveled, his coat was off, his tie was untied and shirt unbuttoned, his hair was a mess and his eyes were like stone, emotionless and unreadable "Seba..." I choked out he instantly looked to me, his eyes flashed worry and relief. He rushed to my side and placed his unloved hands gently on my cheeks before kissing my forehead softly "I am so glad you are safe. I am not use to worrying over such things, it is so odd to care for a fragile being. I am so sorry M'Lady." He placed his forehead on mine and closed his eyes "I should have been more cautious with that... creature. I didn't anticipate its attack and before I knew it, Ciel was falling and you had been stabbed." He sighed sharply.

This wasn't like Sebastian, has him having feelings for me really gotten him this shaken and anxious. I tried to speak but squeaks and gasps were all I could form, "No need to worry, Master Ciel is well. He isn't nearly in bad condition as you, just a few burns that will heal fully and his asthma has been acting up but the doctor gave him medicine." He gently rubbed my head as he looked me over "Do you need anything? Water? More pillows or blankets?" He pulled back I thought for a moment, he needed me, he is unfamiliar territory with these emotions, he is unsure what to really do I weakly pointed the book he had been reading then to him. He took a moment before processing "You wish for me to read to you?" He asked taking the book as I slowly nodded "You're wishes, are mine to grant." He stood, took off his shoes off and sat beside me "May I continue, or would you like me to start over?" I made a rotating wave motion signalling him to continue from where he left off, he nodded and opens the book and began reading. It was a horror romance, a women had been left in the woods by her friends to meet a minion demon, the demon took her as punishment for trespassing in his woods and sold her off to another the pattern of being sold off repeated till she ended up in a boss demons clutches, and he kept her as a servant, she had given up hope 3 demon masters ago and stopped trying to live, only for the demon to fall for her and work to gain her affections.

When he had finished, I had already been on the brink of unconsciousness, but the story was to good and I was to stubborn, I wanted to know how it ends. When it was over he cuddled me gently, avoiding my wounds and covered us up, he didn't need much sleep but in know he enjoyed holding me, and after that event we both need cuddles, powerful demon or not.
