You could see the house.
It was big. Bigger than you imagined and you walked like an awkward duck next to a smirking Sebastian up to the front door. To your surprise there were cheerful looking servants waiting eagerly. Like you were some great christmas gift. Sebastian opened the door and led you in firmly by your elbow. The 4 servants had the biggest most warm happy five-year-old-just-got-a-teddy-bear smiles.
"'ALLO MISS! WELCOME TO THE PHANTOMHIVES!!" They cheered in unison.
You couldnt help but to smile.
"Hello to you too! What are your names?" a grin spread across your face.
The lady with the short red hair stepped out and bowed nervously.
"M-my name is May-rin, yes! yes it is."
The man with the ash tipped frizzly blond hair and heavy duty goggles and a ciggarette in between his teeth stepped forward and crossed his arms sourly.
"OI. the names Baldory"
The small boy with red clips in his hair and a sunhat hanging on his back stepped out. DAMN. HIS FACE WAS LIKE A RAY OF THE MOST CHEERFUL AND HAPPY SUNSHINE EVER. His eyes shimmered like emeralds as he greeted you.
"Hiya! My name is Finni'!"
The last one came out. He looked old but he looked so cute and small. Also dressed as a butler...AWWWWWW.
"Ho, ho, ho."
He then puffed up and he was a man a tall one.
"My name is tanaka, senior caretaker of the Phantomhives. Very pleased to meet you Miss."
You smiled and giggled softly.
"My name is Vanessa!" You declared happily. It felt so warm and family-like in that large elegant manor with the golden light of the lanterns surrounded by such happy people.
Sebastian took your bags and looked at the servants for awhile, almost incredulously. A long sigh escaped his lips. Then he turned to you and smiled crookedly.
"Well enough chit chat." He clapped his hands sharply. "lets show you to your room and tell the young master that you have arrived."
The 4 servants waved goodbye as you walked behind Sebastian.? He led you up stairs and down the hall. It was a dark home, not a lot of windows, the hallway was long and didn't disguise how huge the manor was.
A thirteen year old lives here?!
You looked at the back of Sebastian how he walked; shoulders back with grace while leaning forwards with each step he took with those long thin legs. Almost likea chickens leg. Hehe...
A chicken butler.
A giggle bubbled out of your lips no matter how hard you tried to stifle the gleeful laugh. Sebastian turned around- only for a moment, but in that moment a laugh of his own slid out of his sly smirk. Finally,you reached the door of your room.
He opened the door to reveal a big room with soft pale colors and sweet candy-like ceramic items. The bed was a 4 postered bed with light blue sheets whereas the closet was a creamy white.
It was like some sort of adult nursery...
And extremely different from the rest of the gaudy and dark manor. Sebastian put your bags down beside the closet and bowed politely.
Heh...Chicken legged butler.
"I will take my leave now milady, dinner will be at 6pm."
You nodded and let him pass he stopped and looked at you with a smirk.
"M'lady if you need anything at all feel free to call me." He spoke in a velvety and low voice unlike his usual pleasant chime. You noticed how he emphasized the words "anything at all."
He bowed and walked out and soon his light foot steps faded away into the hall. You smiled to yourself and held your hand to your mouth. Is this a dream or are you really living in a house bigger than anything you would ever imagine?
You checked the time and it was 5:15, you thought with a big house and all, you must dress up! IN THE FINEST SILKS AND JEWELS OF COURSE. THIS IS THE PHANTOMHIVES AFTERALL.
You burst out in giggles.
You opened the closet and it was filled with dresses. There was a blue dress with sleeves, pink one with ruffles, lots others but one caught you it was a red dress with sleeves; it was off the shoulder, it also had a train. But this dress needed a corset and for a corset you need a second person you. You've never wore one before so... you don't really know how it feels...
UHM. TIGHT?
The maid was busy with the Landry and there was no one else but, Sebastian. You took a deep breath in, maybe you could just wear other dresses? But you really wanted to wear the dress, you made the choice and made your way to call Sebastian. How do you call for him? You opened the door a little to see if anyone was out there.
It was eerily long and dark. And lonely.
The kind of hall that instead of walking through leisurely or running through giggling you would run through screaming. For dear life.
"Maybe asking Sebastian wasn't a good idea..." You shuddered worriedly and truned away.
Damn that hall.
"Why ever not milady?"
You saw Sebastian walk over. Isn't he supposed to be making dinner? HOW THE HELLS DID HE GET IN?! WERENT YOU JUST IN THE DOORWAY LOOKING FOR THE TALL BUTLER?! He walked over with a pleasant smile.
"Would you need my assistance with anything?"
"Umm well I was going to wear the red dress but it needs a corset and the maid is busy so~" you mumbled in hesitation.
"May I be assistance to you?"
"A-assistance?"
"Yes I could help you to put it on."
You thought to yourself would this be a good idea? You being 24 an' all... well it wont be that bad. He is a butler and maybe he did do this before.
"Ok thank you." You poker faced.
You walked over to the wall with the butler; he closed the door and took out a corset that matched the dress. He then faced you with a smile.
"Well then I would need you to take your bodice off so I can put it on you, I will turn around"
And as he said he turned around covering his eyes with both his hands. You were embarrassed to undress in front of a man but you took off your top peice and laid it on the bed nicely. A shiver rippiled through your exposed back and you turned to Sebastian while covering up by grabbing a pillow quickly.
"I'm ready."
He didn't turn around, he knew you didn't cover with the corset so he took the corset and handed it you.
"M'lady please cover yourself up with this so all I have to do it tie it up. Much easier than a pillow."
Did he...chuckle?
Your cheeks burnt red in an embarassed blush and you quickly covered your bust with the smooth silk corset. The strings dangled and tickled your skin until you felt cool glove fingers pick the up gently. You could practically hear the smile on his face.
You blushed hardrer.
"Now miss this will hurt a bit but bear with me please."
You nodded and braced yourself against the wall trying to prepare yourself for the pain. And then suddenly a sharp searing pain ripped across your flesh as the tall thin butler pulled the first row. By the time the third row came along you were biting back yelps of pain and completely tensed up in agony.
"I'm almost done miss. Please hang on for just a bit longer."
He was done finally, and he tighten the last row with a bow. He helped you pull on the dress and the final sound was the 'zzzzzzzzzip' on the back of your dress. He then walked in front of you and smirked.
"You look lovely m'lady."
"Thank you."
You grinned proudly and bowed.
"In moment dinner will be served and you will meet the young master."
"I'll see you soon."
He bowed and left the room once more.
