We're Both Monsters (Sebastian Michaelis x Titan!Reader)

Chapter 11

"(y/n) I want you to scout the area when we arrive at the village, at night that is," said Ciel. I nodded and snapped the reins of (h/n).

About an hour later we arrived at the village. So far it seemed isolated. As we passed a couple of houses, we came across a young man training his dog.

"Sit...lie down...good boy!!" he chuckled when the puppy obeyed his commands. The puppy then crawled in the man's lap and licked his face.

"Oh my! I'd let him pet me, yes I would!" blushed Mey-Rin as she ogled at the young man. I mentally snickered and patted (h/n)'s head as we passed by the man and the puppy.

"Mey-Rin, these creatures are manipulated, with rewards and punishments. He commands the dog and the dog welcomes the chain," I explained as glared at the other dogs behind the man.

"Yes it would seem as though you're correct (y/n)," said Sebastian, a fake smile gracing over his lips.

"If ya got something to say Sebastian, spit it out," I sighed.

"Well I'm not fond of dogs, I love cats, to be frank I hate them," he grinned.

"Woof," said Ciel behind him. I looked down and smiled.

"I prefer dogs over cats, Sebastian," I said.

"Hyaa!" I snapped the reins making (h/n) trot a bit faster. As we neared the end of the village, I noticed a small manor on top of a mountain, which I'm guessing was where we would be staying.

The manor itself seemed to be in poor conditions, with vines snaking around its walls and the roof seemed about to collapse at any moment. I saw a woman in a white and purple maid outfit with a matching hat on her head, with purple eyes and white short hair waiting for us at the entrance. I pulled at the reins when (h/n) stood outside of the entrance.

I hopped off and looked at the woman. She smiled at us with her eyes closed.

"I assume this is the Earl of Phantomhive?" she asked in a soft, kind voice.

"Yes," responded Sebastian in an emotionless tone. I looked at him and lightly furrowed my eyebrows. He would usually give strangers a fake smile, but this quite odd. I looked back at her and got this feeling...the feeling I always get when something bad will happen or when we're going on an expedition back home...I blinked and lightly shook my head.

"Welcome to the Barrymore Manor," she slightly bowed.

"She's lovely!" said Mey-Rin. Finny had a blush on his cheeks and his mouth was slightly open.

"Finny close your mouth before something flies in," I said, grabbing my horse's reins and tying them up in the nearest tree.

"I'll be back soon to feed you," I smiled patting his/her mane, receiving a snort from him/her.

Everyone was heading inside when I turned around, but Sebastian was waiting in front of the manor's door. He gave me a small smile when I walked towards him.

"I thought you were inside already," I said as we walked side by side towards Ciel.

"It would be rude to leave a lady outside," he responded. I scoffed and gently shoved him. He looked down at me with a smile and lightly pinched my cheek. I stuck my tongue out at him, making him chuckle.
