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

Chapter 25

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

"(Y/N), you must wear a corset for today's ball." Sebastian said as he pushed the corset into my arms.

"I am not wearing that! Why don't you wear it yourself! The you'll understand." I shouted as I gave him back the corset. Ciel just stared at the two of us bicker in front of his deck with a blank expression.

"It is improper for a lady not to wear a corset, especially for an event like this." Sebastian explained while rubbing his head.

"When was I ever proper?! I've worn dresses without corsets and it's been fine." I whined before looking to Ciel for help, "Ciel, you know how it feels to wear a corset! Tell Sebastian I don't have to."

Ciel spit out the tea he was drinking with a red face, "W-what?! I have nothing to do with this!" he exclaimed as he frantically waved his hands around before avoiding eye contact, " (Y/N), you can wear the dress without the corset." Ciel said.

"Ha in your face Sebby!" I mocked as I stuck my tongue out. Sebastian gave me a glare before turning to Ciel.

"Very well, Young Master. I will go get your clothing ready for this evening." Sebastian said before he left the room. I gave small 'thank you' smile to Ciel and left to go get ready too.

I went into my room and closed the door. I checked the one more time, a beautiful, black ,off the shoulder dress and put it on. I struggled buttoning the back but after a couple of tries, I managed to close it. I had about an hour till we left so I decided to go get some snacks. I mean, who knows what kind of food they have at the ball. After eating a couple slices of Sebastian's heavenly cake (and not messing up my makeup) I heard Ciel and Sebastian come downstairs.

"Seems we finished with 30 minutes to spare." Ciel said as he put his pocketwatch away.

"Oh cool. What are we going to be doing there exactly, Ciel?" I asked.

"We were invited by the head of that estate. If I don't go, I know he will keep pestering me until I do." Ciel said. I looked over at Sebastian and noticed he was in thought.

"What's wrong with you Sebastian?" I asked again as I nudged him softly. He gave a small smirk before speaking.

"Oh nothing, just thinking that you might be tired after dancing with those heels on. A proper lady wouldn't be but since you aren't, I wish you luck." Sebastian smugly said.

My eyes widened at what he just said. "What do you mean dance? I don't know how to dance! Well I do, but not the fancy waltzes and stuff like that. Do I have to?" I worriedly asked.

"You do. It is a formal event after all." Ciel started before looking at Sebastian with a mischievous glint in his eye, "But since Sebastian thought of it, he will give you some quick lessons before we go." Sebastian looked dumbfounded before complying. He let a barely noticeable frown as he took me by my hand and positioned ourselves. Ciel played the violin and suddenly we started to dance.

"Ah sorry Sebastian" I apologized as I stepped on his foot with my heel.

"It's okay. Now just look up. You can't dance and just stare at your feet. The male will lead you for the dance so you just have to go along with whatever he does." Sebastian said. I started to feel more comfortable and looked at Sebastian.

"Hey I think I am getting the hang of it Sebastian." I proudly exclaimed as I gave him a small smile.

"Indeed you are. I just wish you learned how to do your job as quickly like you dance ." Sebastian said with one of those fake smiles. I deadpanned before seeing him laugh a bit.
