Horologe ⚚ [Maximum Ride/Black Butler]

Chapter V

_________________________________________________________________
-BACK TO THE FUTURE ... PAST? I DON'T EVEN KNOW ANYMORE-
And henceforth, here I was, slouching, arms tightly wrapped together in the classic demonstration of bad-moodiness, and grumbling incoherencies to myself. Sebastian seemed to be taking his sweet ol' time bandaging up my wing, having carefully removed the bullet with this weird surgical tool I've never seen before. I didn't even so much as flinch as he did so. The little sting was nothing compared to what horrors I had to endure back at the School.

His fingers, slender and donning crystalline white gloves, continued to linger on my wing, ghosting across it in the slightest of ways. "I've never seen a human bear such...unique physical qualities before," his voice murmured, so lowly that even my enhanced super-hearing could barley pick it up. Even so, it was kinda obvious the guy was referring to my wings.

And, speaking of which- wandering hands cupped my feathers, tugging on them in a faint, mildly-curious sort of way, and prominently sent a full-on shiver down my spine.

Oh.
My.
God.

Did this dude seriously just do what I think he did? Did he just freaking touch my wings? Like actually, run his slimy little fingers through, as if I gave him some sort of exclusive, VIP permission?!

Congratulations mister butler sir, you've just proved yourself to be approximately fifty times creepier than I'd originally depicted! Fifty fucking more times.

Feathers ruffling in disgust, I immediately scooted away from his reach and threw a glower over my shoulder, smacking away at whatever lingering digits remained. "Hands off, buttercup. I should charge you with sexual assault, feeling up my wings like that. Gross."

His hand slowly clenched, the male forcing a smile at me. "I greatly apologize, miss. I was merely curious. Please excuse my behaviour."

"Merely curious, oh yeah, I bet." My eyes lolled to the back of my head. "Honestly, if your bullshit gets any older, it's going to crumble into stinky little particles of dust."

Sculpted eyelids twitching, Sebastian's smile was starting to slip. He briskly stood up, twinges of repugnance prominent in the moment, and I stood up as well, dignified and challenging.

"Follow me. The young master's request mustn't be stalled any longer." His voice was chillingly calm.

"The heck do you mean, request?" I said immediately. When he just started strolling away, ignoring my comment, believe it or not, I glared splintered bits of mud in his direction. "Well, excuse you!"

"Young miss, the sheerness of your attitude is a truly thought-provoking thing. I wonder how on earth it is that, despite being bruised and battered all over, shot brutishly in the wing, you are still able to fire such rancidities at the very one you should be owing your measly, short little life to. You shan't even be able to speak, you've lost so much blood."

"I shit miracles for a living, what can I say?!"
