e l y s i a n - Sebastian Michaelis x Reader [Modern AU / Black Butler]

: 6 :

Somebody wanted me to update this- I'm so sorry for no updates on this story, Jesus. I'm running out of ideas in all my stories yikes

A week had already passed and I felt more sick than ever. I didn't know why, it wasn't like having a cold or a flu; more like being some kind of depressed and stressed out.

It was another Monday morning and I felt terrible as soon as I woke up to my alarm clock ringing at 5:30 in the morning. You somehow managed to drag yourself to the bathroom to take a shower, you didn't want to miss out a day at school now.

There were many exams that had to be corrected still, many papers to grade. The end of the semester was at hand, so I had more stress than ever. I couldn't get sick now.

I got into the shower, where the warm steam already made me feel dizzy. I held onto the wall, trying to at least get my hair washed quickly.

As I tried washing out the shampoo, I felt how I almost fell down. "Come on, get your act together." I said to myself, finishing to wash myslef and wrapping my body into a towel.

I stood infront if your clouded bathroom mirror which I quickly cleaned with my hand. I looked at mylsef and noticed the bags under my eyes. I had been grading papers until 2 in the morning again. I hated to keep my students waiting.

I splashed some cold water into my face as I felt myself getting dizzy again. I took another towel to dry my face, but soon, I fell to the ground and fainted.

When I woke up I could hear... voices. There were voices, but I couldn't understand a word they said. They seemed so... worried. Light tickled my eyelids and I opened my eyes, revealing Sebastian being infront of me, sitting on the rim of my bed.

"(F/n)! You're awake!" He almost cried as he pulled me into an embrace. That was also the point where I noticed that I had been wearing my pyjamas. I flushed as I hugged him back.

"You didn't pick up your phone this morning, so I got worried and got here as quick as possible. Luckily I still have the spare key to your apartment!" He seemed relieved and a faint, tired smile was across his lips.

Suddenly, I could hear somebody walk down the hallway and coming into my bedroom with a tray. It was Ciel who had brought some Tea and Crackers.

"I'm glad to see you're awake now." Ciel sighed as he set down the tray on my desk. He then sat down on the other side of the bed. "(F/n), what were you thinking? You totally overworked yourself." Ciel scolded me.

I looked at the blanket covering me. I knew that I kinda deserved those scoldings. "Don't be so harsh. We all have lots of work to do at the moment." Sebastian replied as he comfortingly put his hand on mine.

Ciel let out another sigh. "I know... but even teachers are humans, you know? We get sick, too! We get exhausted and stressed!" He almost shouted.

Ciel cared a lot for me, I always knew that. We've been close friends for a long time.

"Hey punk, what's that you got there?" I laughed as I ripped the book out of the small boys hands. He had just been writing into it and got really startled as I took it away.

"Ohhh! A diary!" I cheerfully said as I read the page out loud.

"The girl who often bullies me, (F/n), doesn't really seem to be such a bad person after all." You read out loud as you realized he talked about you. You lowered your voice and kept in reading.

"I saw her feeding a street cat yesterday and how she helped a woman that didn't find the way. I want to be her friend, but I don't know how to approach her. I'm afraid she'll make fun of me again..."

You let your eyes wander from the pages to the blue haired boy that awkwardly looked away. "I- I'm sorry!" He blurted out without looking at me. "Please, give it back now, I won't do that again!" He seemed scared, since he had closed his eyes and winced as I stepped towards him.

"Here." I said as I handed back the diary. "Usual place, usual time. Be alone." I said, he knew where he had to be at what time.

School had ended and you made your way to the spot behind the school. Usually, I forced Ciel to come here so I could take some of his belongings or made him do my work.

As he arrived, he already looked scared as he saw me. "Hey, don't be scared." I tried to sound calm. He looked up to me a little confused. "Listen. I'm sorry for everything I've done to you." I began talking as I looked to the ground, my hands stuffed into the pockets of my jacket.

"You see, I've been bullied too." I admitted. "So I guess I kinda had to pick on somebody to let it out." As I said that, his eyes widened. "I know this is weird now but... Let's be friends, okay?" I asked as I stretched out my hand with an embarrassed smile.

He hesitated but soon shook my hand, a faint smile on his face. He trusted me instantly.

°°°

From that way onwards, we've been very good friends. We'd often hang out after school or have lunch together. I distanced myself from my old friends, since I knew they'd only be a bad influence. They made me who I was back then.

Ciel made me a better person. He made me study hard, my grades got up and I made new friends that treated me right.

I made this decision on my own.

And there's no way I'd ever regret it.

"I'm sorry, you two." I mumbled as I still looked down. "I didn't want to worry you... You even didn't head to work for me..." I didn't know what to say. I was just so glad to have such nice people by my side.

"Hey, it's alright." Sebastian said, squeezing my hand lightly and giving me a smile. Ciel rested a hand on my shoulder. "We're here for you, no matter what. Who cares about stupid papers you have to grade? It's more important for you to get better." Ciel had also been smiling at me, it felt relaxing.

"I... thank you... You don't know how happy I am about having you by my side." I then abruptly pulled on the arms of the two, making them fall into my own arms. They seemed a little confused but they both hugged me tightly.

"That's what we're here for." Sebastian whispered as he got away from the hug and kissed your cheek.

"We'll ways be here, just like you've always been for us."
