How to Survive in Black Butler (Black Butler x Reader)

Chapter 5

(Y/N)'s P.O.V

After wandering the halls for about five minutes and calling for Sebastian every time, you finally heard some voices. Immediately you recognized Sebastian's rambling on how to properly do chores. He was probably talking to Bard since he was saying "no use of dangerous weapons in the kitchen". I was super hyped and impatient so I ran down some stairs and slipped. Everything went in slow motion and my whole life flashed before my eyes.I landed with a loud thud and landed in front of kitchen door.I groaned in pain and stood up. I pushed the door but it wouldn't open. After some more pushing I got really mad.

"MOTHERFUCKING DOOR WHY THE FUCK WON'T YOU LET ME IN?" I yelled after some more pushing.

The door opened and I flew across the hallway. I landed upside down and lifted to my head. I saw Sebastian and Bard looming over me. Sebastian looked at me and didn't look a single bit worried. While Bard was worrying and immediately went over to help me.

"Aw Miss are you alright?" Bard asked

"I'm fine. I've been hurt way worse,'" recalling the incident on the stairs a few minutes prior, "Nice to meet you I'm (Y/N), and I'll be working with you from now on" I said while holding on to Bard's extended hand. I glanced over and saw Sebastian, with fake worry lacing his features.

He knew I was at the door, that sly son of a bitch. He did that on purpose.

"Are you sure you are all right, it seems you took quite a fall there" Sebastian said.

"I'm perfectly fine, thank you for worrying" I practically hissed out followed with a glare.

" I'm glad, that means you can start work right away after introductions" he said.

I simply nodded before turning around to talk to Bard. I realized I had to ask him his name so I wouldn't look suspicious.

" Well now that you know my name why don't you tell me yours?" I said

" O-Oh..um my n-name is Bard and I'm the cook" he said with a sheepish grin while rubbing his neck.

"Nice to meet you Bard, I hope we become really good friends" I said with a big smile.

Bard nodded his head quickly with a blush on his cheeks.Sebastian told Bard to quickly introduce me to the other's because he had to wake up the Young Master. Bard nodded and took me to the main entrance. When we got there I noticed the familiar maroon-haired woman polishing the staircase. Bard called for her attention and she went down the steps. She slipped on the stairs and went flying in the air.

Oh no, I won't let the stairs take another victim.

I ran toward where the girl was falling and positioned myself underneath to catch her. Bard just stood in the background too shocked to move. Mey-Rin fell into my arms and we both fell to the ground. At least the impact wasn't that hard.

" Miss are you alright? I'm so sorry, yes I am" she said while worry was evident in her features.

"I'm fine , though are you, it looked like that hurt " I said questioning her

"Oh Miss, why are you asking me when you took the fall for both of us? I'm very grateful, yes I am , yes I a" she said.

"It's alright though it looks like I might have another problem. I think I might of fell for you" I said while grinning.

Mey-Rin simply stuttered with a blushing face and didn't seem like she could respond.

I saw the opportunity and I fucking took it. Good job (Y/N), now I can cross that off my bucket list.

"My name is (Y/N), and I'll be working here as a maid with you all. I hope we can be friends" I said.

Mey-Rin snapped out of it and responded " I'm Mey-Rin and I'm a maid here.I would like to be friends" she said quickly and continued, " Oh my I have to get back to work or Sebastian will have my head, yes he would, yes he would. It was nice meeting you (Y/N), let's talk again sometime" she said before going back to polishing the staircase.

Bard shot me a smile and told me we were going to meet the gardener next.

"That was quite a save (Y/N), I'm surprised you reacted so quickly" he said

" I am very surprised also, I'm not the active type,I thought for sure I would probably miss her and she would fall." I said before looking around"

" If you don't mind me asking, where are you from, I mean it's fine if you don't want to tell me I would be pryin-" he said before I cut him off

" It's totally fine, I'm from the U.S.A" I said

" That's why you have a different accent, and way of dressing'' he said as if he was talking to himself.

We reached the garden and were met with the sight of dead flowers. I immediately knew Finny was probably somewhere panicking and trying to find a solution.

"FINNY WHERE ARE YOU WE NEED TO TALK" Bard yelled hoping to see Finnian somewhere.

"I'M COMINGGGG" Finny exclaimed as we saw a tree moving.

"What is it Bard? I know the flowers are dying and I'm trying to- oh I didn't you notice you there Miss, I'm Finny and I'm the gardener here, what's your name" Finny said with curiosity lacing his features.

"I'm (Y/N), and starting today I'll be working with you guys" I said, "can I offer a suggestion regarding the flowers?"

"HUH! Really you know what to do?" Finny exclaimed excitedly bouncing with anticipation.

" Uh I might know what to do. When was the last time you watered them?" I asked

" About two days ago why?"

"You might've added too little water and now they are wilting. You should try adding more water and in a couple hours the flowers should perk up" I said recalling the facts that my grandmother told me. My grandmother had a green thumb and when I went over to her house over the summer, I remember her telling me tips and facts about plants. Who knew they would come in handy some day. (A/N I don't know much about flowers so bear with me for now)

"Wow really?! Thank you so much Miss (Y/N)" he said cheerfully.

"It's no problem, and please just call me (Y/N)," I said with a smile.

"Okay" Finny said with a blush before handing me a flower, "This is for helping me, thank you," he said before rushing off. I smiled and put the dahlia in my hair.

"(Y/N), Bard are you done with introductions?" Sebastian asked as he appeared out of nowhere.

"Oh- uh yes Sebastian, well we are just missing Tanaka but I don't know where he is" Bard said

"We will introduce them later, we have to start the chores now, ah (Y/N), the Young Master has asked for you go to his study right now" Sebastian said.

"Do you know what for?" I asked curious as why Ciel would ask for me.

Sebastian simply shook his head and went to gather the rest to talk to them. Leaving me alone. Without any knowledge on how to get to the study.

Does Sebastian realize I don't know my way around . This is the second time today. Fuck him.
