The Waves of Fate - Undertaker X Reader

36: First Day of Courting

A/N: HEY GUYS!!

So... yep! It's a 'Lore Olympus' video this time. For the longest time I actually DIDN'T want to read it cause, well, it's all cartoony looking and I was reading other Hades & Persephone stories, but man was I happily surprised! So, if you guys like Greek mythology and fun little modern day themed stories, I suggest reading it. Cause it's a VERY lovely interpretation of the myth set in the modern era. After reading Lore Olympus I got bored and started reading this story, so... thank them for a bit of inspiration.

Anyways, this is just a fun group of chapters that I wanted to write, for fun. A light hearted official date because, well, that scene where they went to a restaurant wasn't a REAL date. Just a 'hang out' sort of deal. Writing this part of the story was a bit of fun, on my part. So I hope you guys ENJOY this chapter, and for Undertaker's outfit... maybe just a typical Victorian gentleman suit? Something he pulled out of the closet during his days with his countess, perhaps. Or maybe a similar outfit to when Toboso did that poll and they had a chapter on vote ribbons and stuff like that. Maybe~ like that, but his hair is up like in his old reaping days, with a black ribbon. So, it's up for creative interpretation!

!@#$%^&*())(*&^%$#@!

A content hum left my breath as I reached a familiar gate, which I couldn't help but shake my head at since it clearly hadn't been locked, before calmly making my way up to the steps to the front door. I couldn't help but feel a tad nervous, wondering why I feel so sick, all of the sudden. This isn't a big deal, is it? Right??

But I went all out, this time. A black and white suit that I haven't worn in at least a decade, with my long silver hairs pinned back in a slightly braided, but tied off ponytail that was kept together with a single black ribbon. I made sure my top hat was properly on my head before I coughed into my blacked gloved hand, ignoring a pair of eyes from the streets as the dull humans looked my way while I put on my happiest grin and knocked at the door. "Coming!" I heard a faint shout coming from inside, and I couldn't help but snicker slightly to myself as I took a calm step backward, my basket of goodies tucked into my arm as I watched the door swing open.

"Good morning, my lovely," I grinned widely as I tipped my hat and bowed slightly, but as my head slowly rose I couldn't help but slightly blush as I noticed my pretty little rose in an attire I could never picture her being.

But here she is~

A lovely white summer attire fit for a noblewoman. Personally, I wasn't expecting such a... maiden attire, but nevertheless I kept up my grinning, though I suddenly felt horribly sick, again. I must be coming down with something. "You're looking beautiful today."

"A-ah... y-yeah. Thank you Undertaker. Come on in," she spoke, but I couldn't stop my cheeks from becoming warm at the softness of her tone of voice while she stepped back inside, letting me step into the familiar Phantomhive townhouse as she walked towards the kitchen space. "You look good too."

"Thank you dearie," I grinned, but noticing the girl had gone quiet I couldn't help but give her a curious look in return. "Is something the matter?"

"E-eh?! No! Not at all," she chuckled nervously as she grabbed a cup of what smelled to be coffee while she poured it out into the sink. "So, are you sure this dress is what you meant? I wasn't sure what you meant by outdoor attire," she decided to say, swaying her hips as her skirt fanned around her body, but I couldn't help but stare down and watch her body move while she turned and cleaned out the cup before setting it into the sink and giving me a nervous look. "S-should I change?"

"No. Of course not. Your dress is perfect, dearest Selena. I just... wasn't expecting white," I chuckled nervously, unable to stop myself from sounding nervous, and I had to curse myself for acting like a total wimp. Man up, Cedric! You're not a schoolboy. Don't act like a whimpering child.
