Sebastian Michaelis x reader, chapter one!!
Link to pt 2
I’m cold on my bed, my red satin sheets clinging to my legs, not fully covering me, but enough… I’m waiting for Sebastian, Ciel usually sends him here to tuck me in, he’s late— By thirty minutes… Thirty two… Thirty three… where is he? I sit up, ready to look for him, that’s when I hear it: the door creaking. “Sebastian?” It’s him. His voice comes out— kind and gentle, yet cold and calculating. “I’m late,” he says, though it sounds as if he’s telling himself rather than me. “You should be asleep by now, my apologies.” He’s not even looking at me, just his gloves as he strides closer to my bed, the moonlight shining through the thin navy-blue curtains makes his eyes ethereal. He looks into my eyes, "You look... unwell. Ciel would be displeased if his sister were to deteriorate under my watch." He brushes his cold, gloved thumb on my lip. I shiver, his touch is electric. "You're trembling," he noted, his voice remaining a steady, rhythmic velvet. He didn't pull his hand away; instead, he applied a fraction more pressure, his thumb tracing the shape of my lower lip as if he were memorizing a blueprint. "Is it the fever, or are you simply... impatient?"
I couldn't find my voice. The electricity of the leather against my skin made my breath hitch, a sharp contrast to the stagnant, chilly air of the room. He leaned in closer, the scent of expensive tea and old shadows clinging to him. The moonlight caught the crimson of his eyes, making them look like polished stones—beautiful, but entirely hard.
"If you cannot sleep," he murmured, his other hand coming up to grip the edge of the red satin, “What is it you require?” I thought his question must’ve been rhetorical as I looked up at him, the moonlight was cutting across his cheekbones, making him look more like a statue than a man. "I suggest you stay," I whispered, the words feeling small in the vast, quiet room. "Just for a moment." He sighs, “If that is what you require, young mistress.” His gaze drops to the space I had so clearly left for him before he sits. “Would you like a story, m’lady?” He’s running his fingers through my hair as I lie my head onto his lap and hum “Yes, please.” My gaze followed his hand as he reached for the book we’ve been reading together, Crime and Punishment. As he starts reading I get a bit drowsy, his voice is gentle, and then… Lights out.
