You sit next to Sebastian in the carriage, feeling tense as you lean as close to the window you can. Ciel and his butler are discussing something you frankly know nothing about, and you decide it's best not to get involved anyways.

You space, staring at nothing for what seems like hours. "My lady?" You jump at Sebastian's voice, whipping your head around to look at them.

Ciel blinked. "I admire that look of panic in your eyes when my butler addresses you."

You blush hard and look away.

"Right then," Ciel continues, "no rush my lady, but have you made your decision yet?"

You nod, blowing your hair from in front of your face with a small smile. "I'd love to stay," you tell him happily.

Ciel nods, giving you an emotionless look. "I'll have the servants go get your luggage from your home then?"

Your home? You think about it for a while. You lived in a mansion that you inherited from your parents, much like Ciel did, but you were always so lonely there. You wonder how Ciel came across Sebastian for a moment, looking over the butler.

"We're here," Ciel announces as the carriage pulls to a stop. You look at the building, mouthing the word "Undertaker" as Sebastian helps Ciel out of the carriage.

"Are you coming in, my lady?" Sebastian reaches out his hand, and you take it gratefully, almost hungrily.

Ciel leads the way in. "Undertaker," he calls as he walks in. You walk in behind Ciel, Sebastian in the back. You look around the store, your breath shallow.

"It smells weird," you mutter under your breath.

Ciel must have heard you, because he turns to you and replies, "he is an Undertaker." 

Sebastian suddenly bends over, whispering in your ear, "if you wish to wait in the carriage, I can escort you back."

You consider it, but before you can answer the coffin behind the desk creaks open, and your breath catches in your throat.

Ciel sighs. "Undertaker, please," he urges. "We have things to discuss."

The Undertaker stepped out, and your eyes widen in surprise. "Oh, my." You step back, right into Sebastian. Suddenly from a coffin near you the lid flies off and you see someone in there. He has long red hair and glasses, and you gasp slightly when he stands up. 

"Bassy!" The man lunges at Sebastian. Sebastian sidesteps and he hits the wall, and you can't help but laugh.

"Grell," Sebastian replies flatly. "What were you doing in that coffin?"

Grell crosses his arms across his chest, frowning. "You have your hobbies, I have mine."

"You know, Undertaker and I have spent so much more time together lately." Grell walked up to Undertaker, putting an arm over his shoulder. Undertaker turns to him, not saying a word, but just staring at him. Grell chuckles uncomfortably and backs up. "We're still working on his Romeo side." You look at Sebastian, who smiles at you, and you blush and look away immediately. Grell narrows his eyes, chuckling.

Ciel sighs. "Undertaker, we need information."

Undertaker smiles a huge smile, and you see his pearly white teeth. You can't help but smile as well. "You know the cost," Undertaker replies. Ciel nods, thinking.

You tug at Sebastian's clothes rather childishly and mumble, "what's the cost?"

Sebastian smiles, closing his eyes. "You must make him laugh."

You think for a moment. "I got it!" You tap Ciel's shoulder. "May I?" Ciel nods, his eyes gleaming. You step forward and murmur, "why did Mickey Mouse get shot?" 

Undertaker leans in with apprehension, a small smile forming on his lips. "Why?"

You finish, "because Donald Ducked." He busts out laughing, and you chuckle slightly. It really wasn't a golden joke, but if he liked it...

Even Ciel looked a bit confused. "Right," Undertaker said after he stopped laughing, "now about the bodies, lord Phantomhive?" He leads Ciel and Sebastian into a room in the back. You stand there, watching Grell, who was sifting through Undertaker's drawers.

"Well, he has nothing interesting. What does he do for fun, I wonder?" He looks up at you, smiling, revealing sharp teeth, and you smile weakly back. 

"So, you have a thing for Bassy as well, do you not?" He pulls out his chainsaw scythe, but he doesn't look like he intends to hurt you.

"What? that's ridiculous." You take a step back as he jumps up on the desk, sitting down and letting one leg dangle over the edge, messing with his chainsaw with the free hand, not taking his eyes off of you.

"Oh come on now, anyone could fall for his devilishly handsome looks, his long limbs, his hair!!" He leaps up, spinning in a circle and laughing. "Will would kill me if he found out what I was doing here," he says after a moment.

"What are you doing here?"

Grell shrugged, smiling darkly. "It's not important. Looks like my Bassy is returning, and my Undertakey!!" He rushed over to Sebastian, who again sidestepped.

"Right," Ciel headed for the door, calling over his shoulder, "thank you, Undertaker."

Sebastian follows, but turned to look at Undertaker, who climbed back into a coffin, laughing crazily. Grell grabbed his chainsaw and followed them out, mumbling something to Sebastian before running off down the street.

You sit closer to him this time, hoping he doesn't think it's weird.

Ciel looks at you. "Do you want us to stop by and get your luggage tonight after dinner?" You shake your head.

Sebastian looks down at you, smirking. "I'll bring it up myself when it gets here," he promises.

You look at the floor, feeling not Sebastian's but Ciel's hard stare. He knows, you think frantically. That or he's really suspicious. Either way, it's not good. I'll never be allowed to stay with them if he thinks I'll be sleeping with his butler.  

"My lady, may we have a word when we get back?"

You swallow hard. "Sure."

You look over at Sebastian for any sign of disapproval. Thankfully he is deep in thought, his eyes closed and his head bowed. He looked almost sad. "Seba--" you get cut off by the carriage screeching to an unsteady halt.

"We're here," Ciel says quietly. 

This time Ciel helps you out of the carriage, and after he leads you around the corner of the house. Sebastian throws a sly look over his shoulder before leaving you two alone. "So," Ciel says quietly, "you have a crush on my butler?"

Your mouth opens but you can't bring yourself to speak, and he nods. "Yes, it's fairly common. Women seem to be attracted to him quite easily. However, I wish to inform you that he is not what he seems. He can't love you."

You look at him, trying not to raise your voice. "Why not?"

Ciel shakes his head. "I cannot tell you this much. Frankly, I like you. I don't think I could stand to see such a pleasant guest under the impression that Sebastian was capable of actual love."

You feel a lump in your throat. Ciel continues, each word crushing. "Besides, you just find him attractive, do you not? I bet there's no actual emotion. No actual crave for him. You are free to any relationship you want with him, under the circumstance that the relationship ends when you leave next week. Do you understand me?" You don't get a chance to answer before he adds, "and remember my words: not capable of actual love." You see an emotion flash in his eye, and you can't quite identify it, "Not that I've seen."

You nod, smiling. "Yes, lord Phantomhive, I understand." He smiles, though you can tell it is not genuine. "Yes," he says after a moment, "I hope you don't change your mind about staying now."

You think for a moment. You do like Sebastian. At first, admittedly, it was lust, but you saw how kind he seemed. Seemed. Those words haunted your thoughts. Suddenly it struck you.

"Lord Phantomhive!" Ciel turns, and you stutter, "Sebastian said something about me being a human. He said I was stunning, for a human. Do you know what he meant?"

Ciel shrugs, turning back around. "Sebastian says a lot of peculiar things," he replies, but his voice is not as strong as it was before. "Don't worry about it."

You nod, respecting his answer as he disappears around the corner. "Okay," you mumble to yourself. You head around the side of the house, heading in behind Ciel.

"My lady?" Sebastian is waiting by the staircase, and you smile, walking over and walking with him on the way to your room.

I'll prove he is capable of love, you think. If Ciel won't tell me what he meant about saying I was pretty 'for a human,' I'll find out myself.



Ok, where to start? I have NO IDEA how to write Undertaker. :shrug: Though I've watched the series twice, I'm still at a total loss of his main personality. I considered just not adding him in, and making you wait in the carriage with the butler, but I realized that

1.) Sebastian would never let Ciel go in there alone, and it would be really boring to make you wait in the carriage all alone. :iconsweetbrownplz:

2.) I know a few of you wanted to see him and, I apologize again,  I'll write better fanfictions in the future with him involved.  

I'm serious though!! I mean I watched his episodes, I read his wiki, I even went to the god damn facebook page :iconcielfacepalmplz: ...I'm normally great with characters but I really just can't get his personality down!! Not yet, anyways. So I'm sorry his appearance is so brief, I really am, please don't kill me. :c :iconhideplz:

Also, sorry for the slow update, not only was I doing all that research, but I have school nd ish, so yeah ^^; I'll only make this a few more parts, again not gonna stretch. :iconbassyplz:

Also, yes, I know this chapter is a lot of filler, but I want an actual storyline, you know? I like doing those kinds of things. Besides, what do you think, you'll wake up in Sebastians pants? I don't think so. You'll just have to wait until I get time to update again. Now, to go make dinner...I'm starved.
