Another Kind of Demon (Sebastian x Reader)

Chapter 8

"I'm finally done!" You shout out in pure joy. Ciel had decided that since you are a demon, you deserved the amount of work a demon should get. Today, you had to clean the whole house from top to bottom and make it spotless and help everyone else with their jobs. You had to admit that you did a good job. The floors were so shiny you could literally see yourself in- "Ugh. Hi, Sebastian." You say as you notice his reflection in the floor. You turn around and give your best fake smile ever.

He smirks, "Your words contradict your smile." He removes his hands from behind his back to present you with 3 red roses.

You are shocked at this sudden show of affection, but you gladly accept them. "Th-Thank you." You blush a deep red to match the flowers.

"Did you know," Sebastian's voice makes you stop smelling the roses and look up at him, "that roses have meanings?"

"Well, yeah." You say searching in your memory for what you know, "The different colors mean different things." Sebastian flicks you in the forehead. "Ow! You jerk!" You rub your forehead, "What was that for!?"

"Do not interupt." He tells you with a hint of playfulness in his voice. "While the color of the roses have different meanings, the numbers of the roses also have different meanings. The number depends on the message."

You look down at the bouquet of red roses in your hands and count them. "What does 3 roses mean?" You look up, but he is already gone. "THAT BASTARD!"

You are sitting outside with Finny, having a picnic and chatting. You, of course made the food.

"Wow! This is delicious!" Finny exclaims happily, "I could never cook as good as this! You're amazing!"

"I'm really not amazing." You blush and say, "You could learn how to cook too. With a little practice, you could even be the best chef in the world."

"Even better than Sebastian?"

"Even better than Sebastian." You laugh. Finny starts laughing too and you think to yourself, If only I could be like this with Sebastian, but he is always messing around. I just don't know... You shake the thought away. "Hey Finny?"

Finny stops laughing and tilts his head as he looks at you. "Yeah, (f/n)?"

"Do you know the meaning of the numbers of roses?"

Finny smiles, "I should hope so! I am the landscaper after all!"

"A landscaper that needs a little ole maid to help him correct his landscaping mistakes." You chuckle.

"Hey! That was only a few times!" Finny exclaims indignantly.

You mess up his hair and smile, "You're so cute, Finny."

He blushes a bright red, "S-So what about the roses situation? Did someone give you some roses and you want to know the meaning or was that just a question that popped into your mind?"

You stop messing with his hair and straighten up, "Oh yeah! I recently received a bouquet 3 red roses and the person that gave them to me left before I could ask them what the meaning was. Could you tell me?"

The blonde smiles, "Ah. 3 red roses. That is so sweet."

Eager to know the answer you ask, "What does it mean, Finny?"

"It means-" The smile vanishes from Finny's face and is replaced by a horrified look. He gets up from where he is sitting next to you and takes off.

At first you are confused, but you remember what happened yesterday and know exactly who the cause of this is. "Sebstian, what are you doing?" You turn around to see a not so friendly demon.

His darkness passes and his usual facial expression returns, "Whatever do you mean? I came to fetch you for the young master."

"Don't act innocent with me. Why are you always scaring Finny away? Do you not want me to have friends?"

"You have Mei-rin."

"I don't want just one friend, Sebastian. You need more than one person to talk to for proper social skills."

"You have me."

"I'm not even sure that is a good thing anymore." You sigh. This guy is pushy.

"I'm sorry." Sebastian's hands cup your cheeks as he brings his forehead to yours. "I just can't help myself when I'm around you. I lose my senses and my reason goes out of the window."

Something clicks in your head and you smirk, "Ciel didn't really call for me, did he?"

"Nope." Sebastian smiles mischieviously.

"Oh what the heck, I might as well." You say and the butler looks at you confused until you close your eyes and press your lips to his. He is taken by surprise, but starts kissing back. You deepen the kiss and thrust your tongue in his mouth and fight for dominance. Sebastian won, of course, but it was worth a try. You both break for air and you look at each other and smirk. "So what does 3 red roses mean?"

"I'll give you one guess." He replies. "If you get it wrong, I will have to punish you."

You think for a moment. Can I risk getting this punishment? What kind of punishment is it? He knows I'm a demon so I can take a lot of damage and this guy seems like he would be quite the sadistic creep or worse. He could be into BDSM. How is this helping me? Right, think of the flowers! After a minute or two, you take a deep breath. "I guess it means, I love you?"

"I'm kind of disappointed. I was hoping you would get it wrong so I could punish you."

You push away from him and hit him on the head, "SADISTIC BASTARD!"

One more chapter left guys. I hope you are all looking forward to it. :)
