~~Her Butler, Story-Teller~~



Sebastian watched his master struggle to type out an important document but failing miserably. It was rather amusing but at the same time a bit irritating to hear the sound of the keys clicking one per minute.

“Dammit, Sebastian! Why does everything have to be online these days?! What happened to using normal pen and paper?!” Ciel cried out irritably as he slammed his face into the key board.

“Now now, you are much too old to be acting like a child. Besides it is the 21st century, technology will surely only advance even more.” Sebastian said with a small smirk.

Ciel scowled, allowing his blue eyes to turn red and demonic. It was true the once young boy appeared to be in his thirties. Ciel was thinking of a witty comeback when loud music boomed through his office.

“I told her yesterday to stop that racket! Sebastian, go tell her to keep it down!” Ciel attempted to yell over the music, before going back to his work. Sebastian gave a quick bow before heading upstairs. The intense sounds grew louder as he approached his destination. Sebastian took a deep breath before opening the door.

There lie the young and only successor to the Funtum Company. She was sprawled out on her bed, staring at the ceiling with a deep glare. The teenaged girl hadn’t even noticed Sebastian had entered. The raven haired man walked over to her laptop shutting off her music.

“Dad, I was listening to… Oh Sebastian it’s you.” The young girl appeared irritated as she stared at Sebastian. “Did dad tell you to come turn down my music again?”

“He did infact. It was overpowering his work space and he does have deadlines you know.” Sebastian said with a smile. Instead of returning the smile she merely glared at the butler.

“Tch, whatever.” She said flipping around to bury her face in the pillow. Sebastian was a bit taken aback. The young mistress never reacted to him like this, to her father sure, but not him. He took several steps towards her before sitting lightly on the edge of her bed.

“There there, what is troubling you?” he asked stroking her hair softly. He would be lying if he said he hadn’t gotten attached to Ciel’s daughter over the years. His frown deepened when the girl didn’t respond except to swat his hand away. Not quite sure of what to do he flipped her over in one swift movement.

“What the hell are you doing, Sebastian!?” she cried out, her face red out of rage. The demon noticed that her eyes were glittering with tears and appeared bloodshot.

“My lady, why are you crying?” Sebastian asked genuinely concerned for the girl.

“I’m not crying. You can leave now.” But the demon did not move from that spot.

“Not until you tell me what is bothering you.”

“You’re my father’s butler not mine so leave me be.”

“While that may be true, your father ordered me to watch over you at all costs.”

“Sebastian I really don’t want to talk right now.”

“I cannot leave until you inform me of what is bothering you.”

“Mom! Ok? Mom is bothering me!” the young girl shouted out, causing more tears to stream down her face. Sebastian was in shock. The young girl hadn’t mentioned her mother in years. Without warning she had her arms wrapped around the demon, her face buried in his chest.

“I miss her so much Sebastian! I miss mom and Tanaka and Mey-rin and Finny and Bard!” Sebastian couldn’t help but to have pity on the child. You see she wasn’t a normal teenager.

After Alois Trancy damned Ciel to be a demon the young man decided to try and return to a normal life. While both Ciel and Sebastian had to find the time to make contracts and find souls they continued to live relatively normal lives. Ciel had been able to age himself to fit his fiancé’s age. After the two were married it wasn’t long before Lady Elizabeth fell pregnant. Ciel thought this would be the best time to tell her the truth of him and his butler. Lady Elizabeth had merely shrugged and smiled like it was the most insignificant problem to her.

There was, of course, anticipation as to what their child would be like. The result had been a healthy baby girl who had appeared to age as normally as everyone else but eventually came to a stop after 17 years. The child was a half demon. While she maintained most of the strength and agility she never had a craving for souls. As far as anyone could tell she hasn’t aged a day since her 17th birthday and was most likely to be immortal like her father and butler. She had watched nearly everyone die out of her life and while Sebastian hated to think of it…he knew it wouldn’t be the last time.

“Lady Elizabeth has been gone a little over 40 years now and the others even longer than that. If you don’t mind me asking, what brought this on?” The man asked as he cradled the girl to his chest. He received small whimpers and sobs but through hiccupping words he could make out a bit of what she had said.

“Do you remember my first love? The one I would come home and talk about all the time? I went to high school with him in the 50’s? Anyway I saw him again.” Sebastian stiffened slightly. He did in fact remember who she was talking about.

Of all the times his young mistress attended high schools and universities she had only ever fallen in love once. He remembered her wanting to stay around the young man as long as possible but she could only pass for being older for a short period of time. She had run into the young man once before only to find him middle aged and with a family of his own.

“I was helping Mr. Undertaker in the morgue today and he was a client.”

“Did a family member of his die?” Sebastian asked quietly though he knew the real answer.

“He’s gone, Sebastian! He was so old yet he looked the same! He had grandkids that looked older than me! I can’t do this anymore! At least for the first few years of my life I felt normal! I felt human! I hate being a demon! I don’t want to live like this anymore Sebastian! I would kill myself if any attempt would actually work!.....Do it for me! Kill me Sebastian!” The young girl looked up at the male with crazed and desperate eyes. Sebastian wasn’t trying to keep up his calm exterior as he looked helplessly at the shaking girl. He honestly had no idea what to do in this situation. He cared deeply for her but was at a loss for words.

“You know I can’t do that.”

“You could if you wanted to! Please Sebastian it hurts so much!”

“I understand bu-” Without a warning Sebastian was shoved away.

“No you don’t understand! How could you ever understand!? All humans are just food to you! You would never understand how it feels to fall in love with them then have them taken from you in what seems like a moment! Have you ever even been in love?!” The young girl panted, her eyes glowing red.

Sebastian was dead silent and for once didn’t look her straight in the face. The girl calmed when she realized the demon appeared in a daze as he stared into his lap. His voice finally broke the silence.

“Yes, I have been in love before. Her name was (Y/N) (L/N).” Sebastian replied in a monotone voice.

“This is the first I've ever heard of her. You used to tell me all the demon stories of your times before meeting my father and you never mentioned her. What happened to her? Is she a demon too? Let me guess she is a reaper and it was forbidden!?” The Phantomhive girl asked quite interested. She had already sat crisscrossed on the bed like she used to when she was little during her nightly bedtime story.

Sebastian gave her a weak smile at her enthusiasm before shaking his head slightly.

“No, (Y/N) was very much human….as was I.”
So I wanted to try writing fr something other than Hetalia or Attack on Titan so it came down to Free! or Black Butler. In the end I thought of this idea at 4am and decided to role with it. I have never written anything for this anime before so I apologize if any characters are ooc. I already have the full story mapped out in my brain somewhat so just let me know if you think i should continue or just move on to the next idea! I know the reader didnt come out much in this chapter but she will be the main focus in upcoming chapters.

Next Chapter


I do not own Black Butler only this plot.
