A Diabolic Waltz - Sebastian Michaelis x Reader [Black Butler | Kuroshitsuji]

Chapter 6

A few days had passed and you fit in very well in the manor by now. You got along with the schedules and lived pretty peaceful? It's hard to say, you lost somebody important after all.

You casually walked through the manor, thinking about the events that had passed. It was around 11am, so lunch would've been soon. As you thought of that, your stomach growled.

You sighed and continued your small walk when you came by the music room where you heard somebody play the violin.

Usually, Sebastian would teach Ciel, but you knew Ciel didn't have violin lessons on his schedule today. Thus, you were quite confused when you heard the sweet cooling being played.

At first, you didn't know if you should enter or not. What if you interrupted the person playing? What if they'd get mad? In the end, your determination kind of told you to look still.

You carefully knocked on the door and peeked inside, seeing Sebastian to your Suprise.

"Huh? Sebastian? Why would you play the violin?" You asked as you made your way into the room, closing the door behind you. "As a butler, don't you have better things to do?" You chuckled.

A sigh escaped Sebastian's lips. "Usually, I'm way behind the schedule due to the other servants." He said as he set down the violin. "But today it's so quiet and now I'm way ahead of it." He shrugged. "Sometimes even somebody like me has to fight some sort of boredom when everything is done."

You smiled at Sebastian and sat down on the couch that had been standing a little further away by a wall. "I liked your play. Mind playing some more for me?" You cheerfully asked as you crossed your legs.

Sebastian had a smile forming on his lips. "With pleasure my lady." He answered before picking up the violin again and playing a piece you recognized.

It was a rather old piece by a famous musician. You didn't remember the name of it, but you could remember Arthur playing it on the violin as well.

Nostalgia kind of hit you when you heard the tune Arthur had played so very often. Yet, when Sebastian played it, it felt you with joy rather than sadness. Sebastian was able to play it a lot softer.

It was such a calming moment, you closed your eyes and kept on thinking about the previous events. With Sebastian's violin playing in the background, it felt like all your worries washed away.

You kind of lost yourself in your thoughts, so you didn't realize at first that he had stopped after the piece ended. A "Are you alright?" made you snap out of your trance.

"Ah, I'm sorry. It was so beautiful, I got lost in my thoughts." You nervously said. Sebastian cocked an eyebrow. "Then, why did you look so concerned as soon as I started?" He asked.

You sighed. "It's just that I recognized that piece. It brought back memories, that's all." You shrugged it off and stood up quickly. "Lunch will be soon, I suppose?" You asked as you made your way to the door. Sebastian looked at you a little concerned but just replied with a "Certainly.". After his response, you left the room, quickly getting to your room again.

A bit Sebastian P.O.V. lol

She looked so sad, I didn't know what to do actually. I'm not really good at comforting other's, nor do I understand the feeling humans have in such situations.

Since (f/n) didn't really seem like the wanted my help anyway, I decided to head back to the dining hall to get the last things ready to serve lunch for the young master and (f/n). It was kind if hard for me to concentrate on my work, which usually never happens at all.

I came to a point where I didn't understand myself anymore. I shouldn't be feeling such human emotions. I don't understand them either.

It seriously bothered me to see her in a state like that. I understood that losing someone that had such huge impact on your life was hard, but shouldn't she be grateful and happy?

She isn't being oppressed anymore, nobody is abusing her anymore. What is it, that makes her feel the way she feels? What is going on inside of her head?

As soon as that thought popped into my head, she entered the dining hall along with the young master. They've been happily chatting with each other.

Not that I'd feel jealous about it, but with the young master she seemed a lot happier. It kind of calmed me to know she's feeling alright, though.

Back to you~

Ciel and you had been talking a lot about various things lately. Today, during lunch he'd tell you about his fiancé, Elizabeth. He told you about how much she bothered at him and that he's somewhat glad she hasn't shown up for a week, yet he also said that he'd always be there for her to protect her at all costs.

As you talked about it, you realized how good of a husband Ciel would make. You've been sure he treats that girl really well. "I hope to intrude you to her soon." Ciel happily said. He was smiling a lot lately.

When you met him for the first time, he wasn't smiling as much as he was at that point in time. It made you feel a lot more better, since you had the feeling that you're the impact that makes him feel better.

"Young Master, I think it's important to remind you that Lady Elizabeth is actually going to be visiting us tomorrow. Have you forgotten?" Sebastian suddenly asked as he put aside the used dishes to serve the desert.

Ciel sweatdropped. "Seems like I did." He nervously chuckled. I let out a laugh. "I can't wait to be meeting her tomorrow, then." You said as you took a spoonful of the pudding Sebastian had prepared.
