I Trust Claude

After a few more days being surrounded by the Black Butler characters, I finally realized how much they sucked sometimes. I loved them, but they sucked.

 Alois was being too clingy to Claude half of the time, not like that could be controlled anyway. Sebastian would not stop his teasing with me, it was honestly making me want to punch him. Ciel, well, he was actually quite pleasant in a way, besides his smartass remarks that only got him further up on my shit list. Claude was all too quiet for any real complaining to go on. Though, there was no way out of the situation I was in. 

"YN," Auntie called from the kitchen. 

"What?" I called back from upstairs. 

"YN!" She said again, louder this time. 

Annoyed, I said again, not bothering to get out of my bed. "WHAT?"

"YN!" She screamed.

Mumbling some curses under my breath I rolled out of bed and made my way down the stairs. Walking into the kitchen, Auntie was sitting at the eating table with her usual glass of wine. "Could you not hear me? I nearly lost a lung calling you."

I didn't bother to respond because there was bound to be a fight if I said anything snappy. She continued, "Walk down to the store with Claude, I trust him."

"What about Sebastian?" I asked, really confused about the difference. She looked at me with her eyebrows raised, really questioning why I even asked that question. Of course not Sebastian because only one of us would come back. 

Sighing, I went to go grab Claude who was cleaning up the bathroom in the guests' rooms. When I walked into the bathroom, he was bent over the toilet with an apron over his black t-shirt and his hair swept back with one of my blue headbands. 

"Claude," He looked up at me through his glasses. "Put away the apron and headband, we're going to the store."

Without hesitation, he did what I asked and followed me out the door. It was a cloudy day, so it felt good for once to not be burned alive by the sun. Letting out I sigh, I looked to Claude who remained emotionless. 

"So," I said, pursing my lips. "What's up?"

"The sky," He said, glancing down at me with a smirk. 

Out of all the people to make that dumb fucking joke, he was the last one I expected to say it. I brushed it off with a laugh and lightly punched his arm. 

"You're such a dork."

Claude looked down and squinted, "What is a dork?"

"Uh," I actually had to think for a second. It was one of those moments you knew how to use a word but usually forgot the actual definition. "Someone who is dull, really. I guess."

Claude hummed and nodded his head, not saying anything more than that. The rest of the walk to the store was quiet, mainly because what was I supposed to say to him. Hey, nice glasses, four-eyes? It was just kind of awkward. 

When we walked into the store, I looked at the list of things we needed that Auntie gave me. Once looking at the list I snorted, the list was written so calligraphically like that it was difficult to read. I was going to kill Sebastian once I got back.

"We need milk, first," Claude said over my shoulder, plucking the list out of my hand. 

"Okay," I ended up following him through the store as he followed the list. Eventually, we came upon the candy aisle and I dove directly for my favorite candies. Before I could grab the share size bag of them, a hand grabbed mine. Looking up, I could feel my blood run cold. 

"Peter," The name left my body. Peter Raul was the scummiest, douche-ist guy in the whole neighborhood, and just so happened to work at the store we were at. 

"YN," He smirked and threw my hand back. "Do you really need that candy?"

"Yeah," I snapped. "I do. So, fuck off now."

He clicked his tongue and grabbed my arm, but before any words left his mouth, Claude gripped the back of his collar. "It's not right touching a lady like that. Please-"

"Back the fuck up before I knock you the fuck out," I said, grabbing my candy and telling Claude that we need to leave. 

As we were checking out, Claude asked, "Miss, it may not be my place to ask, but is it appropriate for a worker to treat others as so?"

I shook my head and gritted my teeth. "No, his parents own the store, so whatever Peter does, he gets away with. It's not right, but not everything is."

"Such a wide outlook on the world," Claude grabbed the bags and we started on our way. 

I shrugged, "It's just some words that help me through some shitty stuff. Let's get back, so I can get back at Sebastian. I'm finally sick if his shit."

"Oh?" Claude smirked at me and I returned it, he couldn't wait to see what I had in store for the crimson-eyed butler.

"No! Sebastian, what the fuck is wrong with you!" I screamed, glaring at what he had done to my room. 

My room was clean. Not that I didn't have it clean before, but it was my own kind of clean, everything had its own special place.. Sebastian seemed genuinely confused as to why the cleanliness would bother me so much. 

"I'm sorry?" He said. 

"You better be!" I whipped my head to look at where he stood. Anger had replaced the need for revenge. "Everything was just fine. Where's my laptop? My dirty clothes? Where are my bras?"

Sebastian smile, "Your undergarments are in the top drawer, your laptop is on your desk, dirty clothes are in the wash."

I whipped my head around my room, mentally checking off everything before looking at him.  The thought of actually praising him passed through my mind before my face flushed, "You read my Black Butler manga, didn't you? That's why you fucking cleaned my room!"

Ciel walked in, leaning against my door frame, arms crossed. "I ordered him to."

"Clean my room or read my manga?" I asked sarcastically. 

He chuckled, amused by my sarcasm. "To read the books, but how he does it is his business. You know a lot, but, good for you, not too much."

"Oh, yeah, like how much I know is really going to affect what happens in your world while I'm in mine. The worst I could do is leak the spoilers you could give me." I arched my eyebrows and put my hand on my hips. 

Ciel looked at me with a hard glare and said, "YN, we came to your world in the blink of an eye, who says that you couldn't come to ours in a shorter amount of time?"

I opened my mouth then closed it. He was right-more than right- and it was fucking annoying. Biting my bottom lip, I thought for a second, then said, "Ciel, whatever I know or whatever how much you think I know, will be kept safe with me. I promise."

"People lie, YN," He stated. 

"They also tell the truth. " 

Ciel kept his stare at me before chuckling. "I suppose they do."

Alois suddenly poked his head in the doorway. "They also come and watch Game of Thrones with me! YN, come on. Bring Ciel, I don't mind. He might learn something from the show." There was a seductive eyebrow wiggle before he disappeared. 

I laughed and ran behind him, grabbing Ciel and Sebastian's hands, urging them to join and ignoring any protest. We started down the stairs but half way down I was shocked to see Samson standing at the bottom of my steps. It scared me so much that I lost my footing on the step and fell forward. 

Heh, this was going to end well. 

======

Hey guys, just a quick author's note, um, I know I end each chapter with a small sentence, but that's because I want to show YN's emotions at the end of each chapter. I wanted to show her progression with the other's, so yeah I know you may not care or may not have noticed, but yeat. That's all. 

Love you all
