Forget You. | Kuroshitsuji

XVI - an encounter

[ 3rd POV ]

The bell from the entrance of the diner chimed, signalling that a new customer came in.

The scent of the customer being feeling familiar, Sebastian and the reapers snapped their head at to get a glimpse of who it was.

Leaning over the main counter was a lady. She seemed to be the same age as the Phantomhive. With a curious gaze, he observed her. She wore a navy sweatshirt, its hood over her head. Sitting on her face, were a pair of sunglasses. It was as if she did not want to be noticed.

A staff member who was flipping beef patties turned around. "(L/N)! Will you be working with us today?" He grinned, as the lady pulled off her sunglasses.

Sebastian's eyes widened. That was (Y/N)'s last name.

Could it be?

The said girl giggled, "You know I wish I could today Matt.. I have to be on set in half an hour."

Her voice! It sounded exactly the same as (Y/N)'s!

"Young Master-" The demon started, but paused, seeing that his Master already had his attention on the same lady.

"I'm guessing the usual?" Matt asked, as he called for another staff member. The hooded lady nodded, "Always."

The waitress that was serving the group earlier gasped when she saw the lady. "Babe! It's great to see you." She grinned.

The hooded figure let out a laugh. It sounded angelic, and never had the demon thought he would've enjoyed hearing someone's laugh as much.

"Viviana! I missed you two.. But the show is premiering tomorrow, I've got a busy day full of rehearsals." The lady, that was now known as (L/N), pulled down her hood. Long locks of (H/C) were revealed, tied neatly into a high ponytail.

"Did you save seats for your friends?" Matt asked, raising an eyebrow at her. She rolled her eyes playfully, "Only for Viviana."

Matt let out a fake gasp, clutching at his chest, as if he was in pain. "My dear, how you wound me." He said softly, playing along.

(L/N) looked away, trying to stifle a laugh.

That was when the group managed to get a proper look at her face.

It was indeed (Y/N)!

She looked much more mature than ever, her once frail body looking stronger than before.

The entire group gasped. Upon hearing them, (Y/N) made eye-contact with Ciel.

"(Y/N)." Ciel breathed out, his legs starting to feel like jelly all of a sudden.

She was stunned.

She thought she was never going to see him again.

(Y/N) shook her head, "It couldn't be.." Refusing to accept who she saw, she turned away.

"Here you go darling!" Matt said, handing her a paper bag. (Y/N) smiled at him, handing him a pair of tickets along with some cash. "See you tomorrow, don't be late!" She chimed, taking the paper bag. Her friends waved at her, and went back to their duties.

Looking in the direction of the group once again, she met Sebastian's crimson eyes. She blinked hard. "No. This is not happening." She muttered, putting on her sunglasses quickly and ran out of the diner, her hood coming up the moment after.

The Earl turned to the demon. "Sebastian, follow her." He ordered, as the demon gave a small bow. "Gladly." He said, rushing out to follow the lady.

"Come on..Come on!" (Y/N) muttered to herself, quickening her pace from a jog to a run. Pulling out a lipstick-sized bottle from her side pocket, she sprayed its contents onto her, carelessly dropping the bottle as she continued to run.

Seeing Rob's car come into view, she broke into a sprint; hugging her food for it not to be ruined from all the running.

Rushing into the car, she yelled for Rob to hit the gas and drive away. Startled, the manager followed nonetheless. Turning to look back, she could see Sebastian stop his run, as he looked around.

Sebastian looked at the car driving away. (Y/N) squeaked, pulling her torso down towards the seat. "Fuck." She said, her suddenly hearing her heartbeat in her ears.

With furrowed brows, Sebastian turned around, retreating to the diner. (Y/N) sighed in relief, before sitting upright. Meeting Rob's steel-coloured eyes, (Y/N) gulped. Rob would want to know what caused her to act like this.

"I lost her scent.. That's unlike me.." The demon said to himself. The small, shiny bottle came into his line of vision.

Bending down to pick it up, Sebastian took a whiff of it.

This was where (Y/N)'s scent ended!

"I'll need to show this to the Young Master." He thought to himself, slightly baffled at the item.

Had (Y/N) transformed into this?

He shook his head, "That's preposterous." Storing the bottle into the breast pocket of his shirt, he jogged towards the diner.
