The Phantomhive Experiment

Chapter 7

Your hands slightly shook as Mey-Rin finished tying off your dress. You were very nervous to see your brother again after so long. But you refused to run away from this. He may not remember your anymore but that was fine, just being with him again would suit you fine, you could try to bring his memories back later.

It seemed that both you and Mey-Rin took too long as there was soon a knock at the door, Sebastian's voice following "Mey-Rin, lady Phantomhive sorry to rush you, but the young master is waiting... are you decent enough for me to enter?"

"Uhhh, yes... I'm dressed" you awkwardly put.

Mey-Rin politely moved away from you and folded her hands in front of her as the door opened and the tall butler moved into the room, you tensed slightly as his eyes wondered your body, you couldn't tell if he was checking your outfit or checking you out. Your fingers nervously rubbed together rather than your hands as you normally would when nervous, your fingers were just a lot less conspicuous. You felt the fine silk of your gloves run along your fingers, it was so smooth and soft it calmed you.

*Sebastian's POV*

My, my she does look very fetching, you thought. That was your first thought when walking into the room and seeing (Y/N) dressed like a proper noble for the first time, it was a big difference from her trousers and jacket outfit. Your eyes unapologetically raked her form and slight movement caught your eye, her fingers were nervously rubbing together, and you could instantly tell it was because of you. But you didn't care, even as you started conversing your eyes still looked over her form.

"Ummm so... my brother is waiting? Shall we go?" She said trying to prompt you into movement.

"Yes my lady come along I'll escort you" you bowed but kept your eyes on her before turning to Mey-Rin "Mey-Rin please go and polish all of the banisters and clean the main entrances floors they've all been looking a bit dull recently, and I have a feeling we'll be getting some visitors soon, visitors for Lady Phantomhive. Be sure you don't mess this up, I am very busy today and don't have time to clean up after your mistakes" you say this but knowing her she'll find a way to mess it up.

"Yes Sebastian" she bowed slightly "see you (Y- ehhuhhhh My Lady, I hope you have a lovely lunch with your the young master, yes I do."

You caught that little stutter of (Y/N)'s name, she was going to call her (Y/N) then, you thought. Your eyed followed Mey-Rin as she left the room, a slight glare behind your eyes, if the master had been here to hear that both you and Mey-Rin would be in trouble. But this was something you could bring up with the maid later.

"Are you ready My Lady?" You held out your palm for her.

She hesitated but did place her hand on yours, you curled your fingers around hers but kept your hand up in a leading manner, your fingers were close to her pulse and with your senses you could feel it. Her pulse was racing and you could tell that once again it was because of you, you were like a hook in the sea and she was the fish, now you just needed her to bite and she'd be yours.

"You look very beautiful my lady, I'm sure the young master will appreciate you matching his Phantomhive blue" you smiled.

"Oh- I-it wasn't intentional, this dress just looked the most comfortable. I'm not a big fan of the really noble big dresses, I never have been, even before..." Her sentence trailed off.

Your eyes watched her carefully, her gaze was distant and you knew that she was thinking about her past and more specifically the night of the fire, you and the young master both wanted to know about her past and more specifically about her powers. But from the look in her eye, you could tell now wasn't the time to ask, she'd defiantly shut you out before you could even finish the sentence.

"I would have to agree with you Miss (Y/N), I also believe that those big dresses will do you no justice, the one you have selected is lovely just as you are." you complemented again. "I'll be sure to order more from the tailor but more for your exact size"

*(Y/N)'s POV*

You gasped slightly and looked over to the butler, his crimson eyed were watching you carefully, his complement had caught you slightly off guard "th- t-thank you S-Sebastian."

You were now at the top of the very familiar grand stair case, it looked exactly the same as it did when you were a child, it was so nostalgic "my lady please be careful when walking down there stairs, they are steep and you could really injure yourself."

You felt Sebastian's hand slightly tighten around yours, you however were to busy gawking at the main entrance to the manor, apart from the now missing portrait of your parents and new wall paper it look exactly the same. But you should have been concentrating, with your inexperience with long dresses, you soon stepped on the hem and went flying forward.

Your eyes widened and you gasped, you weren't worried though all you had to do was activate your powers and save yourself like you would always do, it was just the shock of the trip that made you gasp. But before you could, you felt arms wrap around your waist, and you fell into a warm, solid chest. You looked up to your saviour in surprise to see Sebastian, you were very close to his face, very close to his face.

You felt your cheeks heat up as he spoke, his warm breath fanning across your cheeks "my lady I do hope you're alright, that could have been a very nasty fall" his eyes moved to look behind you "although from the looks of thing you would have been alright without my assistance."

Your head turned to see where he was looking, your feet were elevated and floating in the air. It seemed your powers had activated to some degree. You gently dropped your feet back to the floor, but Sebastian was too tall and it meant that you were currently on your tippy toes, but Sebastian didn't seem to want to let go.

"Ummm Sebastian could you let me down?" You could feel yourself heating up, a clear signal that your cheeks were going a brighter red with further embarrassment.

"Of course, my lady, now come along and carefully this time" Sebastian finally put you down.

But the moment your full weight touched the floor a sharp pain shot up your leg from your ankle, it seems you had injured yourself when you tripped on your dress hem, but you weren't going to say anything to the butler, you could deal with the pain, plus you were about to see your brother again, which was far more important right now.

You finally got to the front door trying desperately to conceal your limp "ready my lady" Sebastian said.

You nodded and sucked in a deep breath nerves covering your body, he opened the door letting the bright sunlight from outside into the room and slightly blinding you. When your eyes got used to the light you could see a beautiful sight, the garden was beautiful with flowers and sculptures everywhere, there was an area of patio with a fancy white table with matching white chair, and at the center of it all was your brother, with a very bored look on his face.
