Cat Me-ow? SebastianXReader 13

Chapter 13

     You shoved the door of the mansion open and ran down the stairs. Finny spotted you and smiled in relief, he grabbed you and pulled you into a hug. "Thank  goodness you are okay… hey why are you crying? What happened in there ___?" Finny said and stared up at your face. You put your hands against his chest and push, trying to get out of his hold. "Let go of me, I really have to go," you tell him urgently and squirm in his hold. The gardener set you down on your feet but kept a hold of your hands. "Let go of me," you snap, wanting to get away from the mansion as soon as possible. Finny gasped and winced at the harsh tone in your voice but he did as you asked and let go of your hands. You glance at Mey-rin… then Baldroy… then Finny and you give them a sad smile. "I'm sorry," you told them quietly before turning and continuing to run. You weren't sure where you were going, but you knew for sure it wasn't back into that mansion.

     "Mom… Dad, I don't know what to do," you say quietly with a shiver. You had made your way to a cemetery. Gently you set a flower down on the grave and look up at the blue sky. "Mom… there is this man I really love. I think you would have liked him, he goes by Sebastian Michaelis. He has black hair, red eyes, and his skin is really pale. Oh, and he is tall," you say quietly. You knew they probably couldn't really hear you but it made you feel better to talk to your parents. You blink and wipe away tears that started to flow down your face again, you were tired of crying and didn't want to do it anymore. "You are probably wondering what the problem is since I love him so much… well he kept a really big secret from me. Turns out he is a demon and I'm not sure what to think about that. Yes you are supposed to love people for who they are and I do love him but that fact that he is a demon who eats people's souls… is rather scary," you explain quietly. You inhale a shaky breath and shove some of your hair out of your face. Now you take this chance to look around, the cemetery was deserted and you were glad for the privacy. "Mom, what do I do?" you ask and glance back down at the grave that read '___ ___ and ___ ___, beloved parents, and friends'. You gently reach out and touch the gravestone. "Do you think that it could be possible to get used to the idea of him being a demon? Will he forgive me for freaking out so much on him?" you question and slowly pushed yourself into a standing position.

     You blink as something cold and wet hits your face and quickly swipe it away. 'Rain, shoot, of course this would happen with my luck' you thought and look up at the sky. "Bye mom and dad, I'll visit again," you tell them before turning and running out of the cemetery to your friend ___'s house. You were soaking wet when you got there so ___ (friends name, girl) pulled you inside with a frown. "What's going on?" she asked and grabbed a towel for you. You wrap the towel around you tightly, so cold that your teeth were chattering. "C-C-Can I stay here for a while, just until I can find somewhere else to go?" you ask softly as your friend led you into the kitchen. She had started to making you hot chocolate and frowned. "You know my parents ___..." she started and looked over her shoulder at you. When she saw the look on your face a sigh escaped her lips and she nodded. "I'll see what I can do ___, I'll convince them to let you stay," she said and turned back to the task of making hot chocolate. A very small smile crossed your face and you nodded. ___'s brother walked in then and set his backpack down on the kitchen table, letting out a sigh. He also had a towel draped around his neck and was soaked so you guessed he had just got in too. Carefully he plopped down at the kitchen table in the chair across from you. "Hey ___," her older brother said with a chuckle. The smile on his face quickly vanished though. He knew you quite well and considered you to be another sister of his. Gently he reached out and took the towel from around your neck and stood before gently starting to dry your hair. "Where have you been?" he asked as he focused on your hair. You look up at him gratefully. "I was living with friends for a while.. and I visited my parents grave today which is why I'm all wet," you explain and gasp when he dries off your face, catching you off guard. You try to move the towel away but he doesn't let you. "What are you doing?!" you ask from under the towel, laughing very quietly. Her brother grinned again though you couldn't see it. "I'm trying to wipe that unhappy mood off your face ___," he told you in a tone that made it sound like it had been obvious what he was doing. After a couple more seconds he moves the towel away from your face then sets it on your shoulders again. "Okay, now tell me why you went to visit their grave. You haven't been in years so I know there is a specific reason," he demanded firmly but in a soothing voice. He accepts the cups of hot chocolate handed to him by ___ and he holds one out to you. You gladly take the cup and hold it in your hands, loving the warmth that spread throughout your body. "I'm fine; really, I just need to crash here for a little bit. May I?" you say and look between your friend and her brother. You don't know how you hadn't noticed before but they had the same ___ colored eyes. The siblings look at each other and you took this moment to take a sip of the warm chocolaty drink in your hands. Finally ___ looks over at you and she nods. "Of course you can," she said and gently pulled you into a hug.

     The next couple of weeks went by in a blur, you went through life mechanically. Get dressed, eat, go look for a job, eat lunch, visit parent's grave, go back to ___'s house, eat dinner, shower, and go to sleep. This process repeated over and over again. You couldn't seem to do or think about anything else, you felt lonely without Sebastian even though you knew that you had ___ and her brother.

     "Why are you still here?" Finny asked the butler. He turned from the bush he had been trimming and glanced in the direction of Sebastian. "I know I mess up a lot but I'm getting kind of nervous with you just standing there," he said nervously. He set down the garden shears and wiped sweat from his forehead. The two men stood staring at each other for a while; it was Sebastian who finally looked away. The blonde man walked over to Sebastian and tapped his shoulder. When the butler's red eyes met his, he punched the butler hard across the face. Sebastian stumbled back and looked up at Finny with wide eyes. "Why are you just standing here pouting?! Why don't you just go find her Sebastian? You know you want to, you will never know if she will forgive you if you don't ask her yourself. You can't just stand here waiting for her to come back, she might not come back. Go do something, I can't believe I am having to lecture you again. Do something, anything!" Finny scolded the demon and pointed his garden shears he had picked up threateningly at the man. Surprisingly, Sebastian didn't try to hit the gardener back or yell at him; instead he looked away towards the road. Finally he nodded and walked away from the mansion.

     "I'm back," you told your parents and sat beside the grave again. You knew that coming to the grave so often was probably bad for your health but you weren't sure what else to do. Gently you pull your knees to your chest and bury your face into your knees. "I don't know what to do anymore mom and dad…I'm so lost," you say quietly into your knees. A hand his placed on your shoulder and you jump in surprise. You look up to meet a familiar face. "S-Sebastian…" you whisper and move away from him a bit. A pained look crossed his face but he pulled his hand back away from you, giving you space. You glance away for a moment then back up at him. "How long has it been… a month?" you ask and sigh. The butler nodded and looked down at you, not wanting to sit since he was afraid that if he did so that you would run away. "I-I'm sorry Sebastian, I probably over reacted but I think I had a good reason to. It's not every day that you find out that someone is a demon," you said and laugh dryly. You look down at the collection of flowers that had accumulated over the last month that rest on your parent's grave. He nodded and very slowly squatted down so that he had a better view of your face. "I should have told you… much earlier and I apologize for that. That was very wrong of me to keep such a huge fact from you," he said. Sebastian flinched when you stood up and quickly stood up himself so that if you did try to run off he'd be able to stop you. You didn't run though, instead you started hitting him on his chest. "You are such an idiot Sebastian, I'm in love with an idiot!" you shouted while hitting his chest. The butler didn't try to stop you; instead he just stood there and took every hit you gave him. You weren't sure how long you stood there hitting the love of your life on the chest but he didn't even flinch. Something wet hit your face and you froze, your ___ colored eyes slowly looked up at Sebastian's face. Two tears were rolling down his face, the third one had already hit you on the cheek. Again you blink as another splattered against your face. Sebastian… he was crying and you felt awful. "No, please don't cry," you say frantically, your anger at the butler vanishing quickly. You reach up and brush the tears off of his face. He blinked his eyes, trying to stop, one last tear escaped his eyes and you wiped that one away also with the sleeve of your shirt. "Sebast-" you started but he cut you off. He shook his head. "I love you ___, I don't like not having you living at the mansion. I've missed you so much ___. I missed saying your name, seeing your face, hearing your voice, having your company… just everything about you. ___ I can't live without you, I know what I did was very wrong and that you have the right not to forgive me but I hope that you will. I've been lonely, and scared… I didn't understand those feelings till you ran away from me, it felt as if my heart had been ripped in half and I wasn't sure if I'd ever get to see you again. I-I-I need you to come back home ___," explained Sebastian, staring down into your eyes with his red ones. There were so many feelings in those red eyes that you weren't sure how to react at first.  Slowly you pull him into a hug, holding him tightly against you. "Sebastian, I forgive you and I'm sorry about hurting you. You hurt me but I didn't mean to hurt you back. I love you idiot, I really do. I can live with the face that you are a demon, a nice demon whom I love deeply. I…. I really want to come back home.. to the mansion," you whisper into his ear. The butler shook in your arms and for a moment you were scared that you had said something wrong. Tears streamed down the demons face, he was so happy that small wet sounding, quiet laughs escaped his lips. "Let's go home," you tell him and squeeze his gloved hand. He nodded but didn't start walking, instead he pressed his lips fiercely against yours. All the emotions he felt that month, he tried to make you understand in that one deep kiss. When he pulled away you were both breathing heavily. "Y-You are home," he said between inhaling air. You nod, he was right, you felt right at home in his arms.

     When you returned back to the mansion you were welcomed back with open arms. Mey-rin, Finny, and Bart were very excited to have you back and had even trapped you in a group hug. Ciel on the other hand wouldn't join the hug, instead he held a hand out to you. "It's… nice to have you back," he said awkwardly and glanced away from you with his one blue eye. You nod and laugh quietly, you took his hand and shook it. "Thank you for having me back," you told the boy and gently gave him a kiss on his forehead. The boy's face went a light pink and he quickly rubbed his forehead as if to wipe your kiss off. "Whatever," Ciel said and quickly walked away from you. It was great to be back at the mansion, you had already told your friend ___, she had even wished you luck. You knew you didn't need it, everything would be okay now, you were home. Now your gaze moved over to Sebastian and when your eyes met, he smiled at you.
