Falling For the Butler (Black Butler Fanfiction)

Chapter one - White Carnations (Sebastian)

"Finnian, come here for moment." Using his finger, Sebastian motioned Finny to approach.

Finny's heart was about to pound out of his chest. His cheeks began to grow warm.

Sebastian noticed this and smiled. A deep shade of pink crept on Finny's cheeks as his eyes averted from the amused butler's.

Sebastian knew he had an effect on Finny.

Every now and then, Sebastian would find a certain servant quietly watching him.

Whenever he would turn his head, his eyes would meet with a very startled Finny; who, in return, would avert his gaze, apparently embarrass to have been caught.

Every time this happened, Sebastian didn't falter to miss the quick blush that crept on Finny's cheeks.

Sebastian became aware of Finnian's feelings, but he had made no plans to confront the boy.

He knew that his human appearance was considered "attractive" among women. He would use this to his advantage whenever he needed to obtain information for the young master.

The fact is, he didn't fathom over Finny's affection, as long as it didn't hinder his duties as a butler.

"That child makes it so painfully obvious" he thought, as he chuckled to himself.

While searching through his pocket, Sebastian pulled out his eyeglasses and inserts them on his face with ease.

The glasses were just for show. Sebastian knew that he didn't require them to see. He was a demon after all, born with vision clear as crystal.

But nevertheless, he wore them anyways.

With the bridge of his glasses secured to his nose, he took out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

He began to uncrease the folds within a timely manner. With the paper in his hands, his eyes quickly scan over its contents.

"Finnian, for today's errands I need you to water the young master's roses, after you finish; the shrubs will need to be pruned and the trees will require a light trim. While you're doing these tasks, remember to remove any weeds you happen to catch sight of. Do you have any questions?" Sebastian smiled as he asked.

"Nn-o sir Mr. Sebastian ss-irr" Finny's cheeks turned a deep shade of pink when he realized he was stuttering.

"Is that so?" Sebastian said with a raised eyebrow. "If there's nothing else, you may proceed with your chores then."

"Yes sir" Finny replied as he turned around. He began to walk towards the garden when a hand suddenly caught his shoulder.

"Ah, Finny I almost forgot," the hand touching his shoulder belonged to Mr. Sebastian.

Finny turned around, facing the butler. "Is there anything else sir?"

With a devilish grin, Sebastian placed both his hands on Finny's shoulders.

Holding with a tight grip, Sebastian leaned his mouth dangerously close to Finny's ear and whispered:

"Remember to be gentle when you remove the weeds" with his hot breath lingering in the boy's ear, Sebastian noticed how Finny's Adam's apple had gone up, usually signaling he was nervous.

Finny shivered as Sebastian's hot breath made its way into his ear. A couple of moments past, when Finny was finally able regain his voice."Yee-sss sssir" he stuttered.

Satisfied with his reaction, Sebastian pulled his hands off Finny's shoulders and grinned.

"Good that is all, you may proceed with your duties now. I apologize for keeping you."

"Nnno-t at all sirr" Finny stammered. Having the last response, Finny dashed out of the kitchen, unaware that a certain butler behind him was in a fit of laughter.

Sebastian's knees fell to the kitchen floor. Never in his whole existence had he found a human so interestingly expressive.

His amusement was brought to an abrupt end when he heard the young master's calls.

"Sebastian I command you to come immediately!"

Sebastian quickly collected himself. The grin no longer evident as he took off to the young master's bed chambers.

As the butler made his way towards the room, Ciel was sitting perched up on his bedpost. Sebastian bowed, placing his left hand over his chest.

"How may I serve you my lord?"

Ciel stretched his arms. While releasing a tired yawn, he drowsily opened his eyes. Squinting from the harsh sunlight, he groaned. After his morning fatigue had left, his eyes immediately landed on Sebastian.

"You're late" he replied with a scowl. His annoyance clearly directed towards the butler.

Sebastian smiled, "I apologize for making you wait my lord but I was preoccupied with chores this morning." Standing up, he quickly proceeded towards the young master's dresser.

While scanning through each drawer, the butler selected some clothes. After he was satisfied with the selection, he closed the drawers. Placing the new set of clothes on the bed, Sebastian began to unbutton Ciel's night shirt. Letting out a quiet yawn, Ciel glanced at his butler before saying;

"Just don't be late again."

"Yes my lord" Sebastian replied as he began to button the young master's collar.

"Today you have a meeting with Mr. Hughes on the anthology of the Roman Empire and in the evening, Mr. Clause will be arriving to continue the negotiations."

"Make sure Sir Clause is provided with the finest hospitality."

"Yes my lord."

After Ciel was fitted in his attire, turning around, Sebastian began making his way towards the door when...

He suddenly sensed something aiming towards him. Without turning around, Sebastian easily caught the Darth between his fingers.

He knew the Darth was hurled by the young master.

"Sebastian, for breakfast, I want poached salmon accompanied with a mint salad."

Ciel paused for a brief moment. "Tonight... I have some urgent matters I need to discuss with you."

Turning around, the butler smiled. "Yes my lord. I shall wait for you at the dining table."

Closing the door behind him, the butler quickly departed the Earl's bed chambers. As the butler was heading towards the kitchen...
