Transmigration Part 6
Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4. Part 5
You are standing against the wall, wearing a simple black dress. Huddling to yourself as you look out on the gala. A sea of unfamiliarity as you look for anything to keep you calm.
You see a red, velvety coat and silver hair in the crowd. Sylus. You maneuver around the crowd, being bumped and shoved as you try to reach out.
"Sylus!" You call out. Trying to gain his attention.
But you end up tripping, falling forward. You reach out your hands to catch onto something, but someone else catches you. When you look you see MC, wearing a beautiful black and red dress.
"Y/N!" She says, a smile on her face as she helps you up. "I'm so glad I found you."
Your heart feels like it stopped. What was MC doing here? Why was she here? She looked so beautiful, so immaculate. You couldn't find your voice at all.
"I really have to thank you for all you've done." Her smile feels blinding. You look at her confused.
Before Sylus comes up behind her, placing a hand around her waist. You can't look him in the eye as you watch his fingers splay against her side. MC pushes herself into his side.
"You did so well to bring us together," MC says. You want there to be malice in her voice...but it's all just the truth. "I don't think I could be any happier."
You feel yourself falling apart. Wanting just a little more time with him. One more day, minute...second. You reach a hand out, but then he talks.
"Come kitten." Sylus says, turning her around and leading the two of them to the exit.
"Wait!" You yell, finally fully extending your hand to grab him. You can't reach. You run.
And run.
And run.
But they're always too far, just out of reach.
And you fall. So very, very far...
You almost jump out of the bed as you wake up. Cold sweat on your forehead, arm stretched out like in your dream. You gasp for air, panic leaving your chest as you realize it wasn't real. It wasn't true
"Yet." You think to yourself.
You rub the tears from your eyes. Trying to shake the dream from your head. Until you feel something shift at your side. You look over. There's Sylus, asleep on his side, arm draped on your waist.
"Kitt'n?" His voice is groggy, not fully conscious. While you are flabbergasted. Trying to figure out what he was doing next to you. Flashes of last night come back to you slowly. How you touched him, cried into his shoulder, asked him not to leave you as he helped you into bed.
"Lay back down." He murmurs, pulling you back down. And you let him. You let him pull you against his chest, bringing the blanket up to cover you.
He rubs soothing circles into your back. You lean your forehead against his chest, listening to his heartbeat, the breathing you remember so clearly.
"I had a nightmare." You say. He hums, nuzzling the top of your head.
"That's not allowed right now." He says. You can't help but laugh.
"And what will you do about it?" You tease.
You felt a smile form on his face. "Then I suppose I'll have to destroy whatever is causing it."
"Even if it's you?" You didn't say. You lay an arm around him, clutching at the robe he still wore, and closed your eyes to fall back asleep.
Sylus waited for a moment, softly stroking your hair as he listened to your own breathing. Once he determined you had fallen asleep he placed a light kiss at the top of your head.
"Don't worry Y/N," he whispered, "I'll make sure you have nothing but sweet dreams from now on."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You wake up to breakfast in bed. Waffles, eggs, fruit, iced coffee. You ate every last bite.
"You truly are a chipmunk." Sylus teases, wiping stray crumbs from your left cheek. "I think I'm starting to understand what food to feed you."
You rolled your eyes. "And what would that be?"
His lip curled upwards, "Well obviously, ones you can stuff into your cheeks."
You held back a laugh, deciding to instead change the conversation. "So what happened to the tailor? One was supposed to come yesterday right?"
He nodded, sitting in a lounge chair next to the bed while drinking his espresso. "Since someone was a little too inebriated for guests, they'll be here shortly. You'll need to get dressed."
Sylus had already gotten dressed. Wearing a gray long sleeve and black torn pants. The same outfit he wore from the card where you helped to measure a new suit for him. The event that occured before the auction. You moved the tray away, grabbed some clothes from your suitcase, and went to the bathroom to get ready.
The head tailor was very kind to you, his female assistant...not so much. You could tell that she was much more interested in Sylus than you. She would position herself in such a particular way that it would show off some part of her. She would measure you loosely, only to compare it to her own measurements.
Sylus didn't seem to pay any attention to her. Instead, talking with the head tailor and looking through a book of designs. The comments were starting to irritate you.
"Could you please focus." You finally said as the measuring tape rested at an angle on your waist, making it seem larger than it actually was.
The assistant sucked her teeth at you. Mumbling something you couldn't quite hear, but you assumed was some kind of insult. Then, suddenly, you saw her whole body freeze.
"Move." Sylus demanded, glaring down at the assistant, red eyes dark and dangerous. The assistant shrunk herself down, handing him the measuring tape and standing next to the door.
Sylus took over measuring you. Stating it out loud for the head tailor to write down. His hands moving swiftly and softly against you. You felt a light blush appear on your cheeks. When he was done he kept a hand on your shoulder. It was warm, and comforting.
"It's your turn to help me kitt'n." He leaned down, whispering into your ear. It was hard to stop the chill that ran up your spine. He placed the measuring tape into your hands.
"W-why me?" You try and cover your ears as you felt them turn red. Sylus cocked an eyebrow at you.
"Who else?" He looked over at the assistant from the corner of his eye. "Unless you want someone else's hands all over me."
You press your lips into a line. Not wanting to admit that the thought of her touching him made you made...but also nervous about being the one in charge of measuring him.
Sylus grabs your chin, raising your face to look at his. His playful face giving you a "what will it be" look. You clutch the tape, then nod in embarrassment. He lets you go, and you got to work.

Sorry for the wait. Currently on vacation and writing this on my phone so the template is a lil different. Was inspired and couldn't wait!
