《How to Survive in Black Butler (Black Butler x Reader)》Chapter 22

(Y/N)'s P.O.V
"Ugh why couldn't I go with them Bard?" I complained as I rested my head on the kitchen table.
"Maybe the case was too gruesome for a young lady like you." He replied as he cleaned his cooking utensils. I let out a big sigh and stood up.
"There's nothing to do here." I said before Bard turned around quickly to face me.
"There's plenty to do. Why don't you sweep the staircase or somethin' " he said.
I gave him a 'dafuq' look, "Bard you know I never help around here. I mean, there's nothing interesting to do."
"You are right about not helping out, but you can start" he chuckled out before he turned around again. With my supersonic hearing, I heard the front doors start to unlock so I ran to meet Sebastian and Ciel.
"WHY'D YOU LEAVE ME HERE TO DIE OF BOREDOM?!" I exclaimed as they came in. Sebastian took off Ciel's coat and hung it on the coat rack.
" Why did you decide to eat at the exact moment we were going to leave. Besides, did you help out the others like I asked you too?" Sebastian question while his eyebrow went up. I gave a nervous chuckle and slinked back. The rest of the servants greeted Ciel and Sebastian afterwards and they started to talk about the case.
"I'll never get any peace if I'm called to London for every silly little thing." Ciel complained as rolled his eye.
The door suddenly opened and an unexpected person came in, "My lord you're really here!" Lau said as he stepped in.
"You're just dropping in unannounced?!" Ciel exclaimed with an annoyed face, "How often have I told you to at least send a note before you visit?!"
"Ah I vaguely remember that" Lau chuckled out and Sebastian leaned down to to talk to Ciel.
"As we have a guest, why don't I serve tea?" Sebastia suggested with a 'smile' on his face.
"Might as well" Ciel replied whilst his hand was rubbing his head. Two people stood by the door and just when I was about to call them out one spoke up. "I'd rather have chai than English tea." Ciel's eye was still closed before he said 'might as well' again. I think he noticed that the voice wasn't any of ours, so he looked up with a surprised face. "W-wha-" was all he managed to choke out before Lau spoke up.

"Oh, I met them on the street corner. They said they wanted to see you. " Lau mentioned as both of the people stepped in.
"What are you doing here?!" Ciel yelled as he pointed accusingly at them.
The plum-haired one spoke up, "Why, we're acquaintances now. Have you forgotten already?"
"Acquaintances?" Ciel asked.
"And I saved you too." The plum-haired male said as he waltzed in(with his butler) like it was his home.
Ciel shook with anger as he quickly spun around to face them, "Saved? Excuse me?!" he yelled.
"In India, it's common practice to invite your savior home and entertain him, " the male spoke as he drew closer to the steps. He proceeded to walk up the stairs whilst continuing his sentence, " Is it the British way to kick one's savior out in the cold?".
Ciel merely growled and followed them up the stairs , with everyone else tagging along of course, "Just who are you, anyway?!?!", he said as he barged through the room they went in.
"Me? I'm a prince." the male simply stated as he laid on the bed with his elbow propped up. The servants began to get excited and mumble thing like 'prince? wow'.
"This is the twenty-sixth child of the king of Bengal, Prince Soma Asman Kadar." his butler said as he pointed at the Prince. "Thanks for hosting me here ,Shorty" Prince Soma added.
I snickered under my breath and Ciel turned to me, "Heh, he just exposed you Ciel."
"Now is not the time (Y/N)." Ciel snapped as he turned back around to look at Soma.
"Wow I've never seen a prince up close before!" Bard exclaimed. Prince Soma allowed them to get closer, but when I was about to follow the other servants, Sebastian pulled me back by my collar.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sebastian asked. I pulled away quickly and straightened my collar.
"To go ask the prince questions duh." I commented, as the other servants listened intently to what Prince Soma was saying. Everytime I would try to go Sebastian would just pull me back by the collar. I simply just gave up and watched from a distance.
"So it seems you brought your other servants this time, not Just Sebastian and (Y/N)." Lau said as he neared the door.
"Yes. Our new guard dog is watching the mansion" Sebastia mentioned as Ciel visibly stiffened. Poor Pluto must be missing us right now.
"As much as I want to stay up and talk to the Prince and maybe braid his hair, I know it won't be possible with Sebastian around so I an retiring for the evening. Goodnight!" I said as I left. Or did I? Operation time to get snacks from the kitchen was now commencing. After grabbing a few snacks and successfully making it out without being noticed, I headed back to my room. As I passed by the room that Soma and Agni were staying in I slowed down. Maybe showing some courtesy to the guests will show Sebastian and Ciel that I am not completely useless.

I walked towards the door and stood there No going back after this. It can one of two ways: Make a total fool of yourself and live the embarrassment of your life, or gain Sebastian and Ciel's respect while being able to braid Soma's hair. I let out a sigh and knocked on the door.
A faint 'come in' was heard from the other side of the door so I opened it. I stood in the door with an awkward smile on my face. Soma looked surprised and Agni returned the smile.
"U-uhm. My name is (Y/N) (L/N) and I'm a phantomhive servant. I just wanted to let you guys know that if you need help with anything you can count on me, Prince Soma and Mr. Agni." I assured quickly with a small smile and a bow.
" I really appreciate that offer (Y/N), and you can just call me Soma and Agni, you wouldn't mind right Agni?" Soma began cheerfully. Agni nodded and gave a brief smile. "If you don't mind, can we ask you a few questions?" Soma asked as he gestured to the chair.
"Okay. What kind of questions?" I cautiously replied as I sat down. Soma took the seat across from me with Agni standing right beside him.
"To get to know you of course! We are friends now right?" Soma gushed out excitedly.
"Friends?!" I exclaimed before I calming myself down, "Yeah, friends. Okay I'm down for that. So what do you wanna know?" I asked while leaning my head on my hand.
"How long have you been working for Shorty?" Soma began.
"Just for a couple of months. And I wouldn't call it working, more like cheering everyone else on. I also tag along when Ciel has to go on a case." I mentioned as I picked the lint off my dress. Soma was entertained before he looked up quickly.
"Now it's your turn to ask me a question. What is it?" Soma said impatiently as his eyes twinkled. Well now I have to pretend I don't know why he came.
"So what brought a prince all the way to England?" I asked with interest laced in my voice.
"To bring back Mina! I will save her from the evil British man who took her and we will go back to India together again!" Soma said with enthusiasm. I decided not to question him about who she was. "So do you know where she is?"
Agni this time joined the conversation," No but we will do whatever it takes to fulfill the Prince's wishes" Agni said confidently. I sweatdropped and gave a light chuckle.
" So (Y/N), can I ask you for a favor please" Soma said with puppy eyes.
"Sure." I said thinking nothing about it. Maybe he just wanted me to show him around the house.
"Will you go out with us to give us a tour around London?"
"Uhm I don't know," I trailed off before I looked at Soma. He looked dejected and he slightly slumped his shoulders , " I may go but I have to ask Ciel and Sebastian for the day off. But don't worry they will probably say yes." I finished.
"That sounds great! Even if Ciel says no, maybe inviting him will let you go too!" Soma said excitedly.
"But can I have something in return?" I asked timidly. Here goes nothing.
"Sure anything for my new friend!" He said.
"Can I braid your hair? Please?" I asked. He laughed out loud till a tear escaped his eye.
"Of course! Maybe we can do a braid train right Agni?!!?!" He said excitedly as he jumped up and down in the seat. Agni sat behind me, and I sat behind Soma who was able to reach and braid Agni's hair.
"Mr. Soma and Ag-" Sebastian said as he opened the door but stopped when he saw us all sitting happily and chatting.
"Hey Sebastian care to join us?" I asked as I saw him stand at the door with a dumbfounded expression.
"I'd rather not but thank you. I will take my leave now." Sebastian said quickly as he closed the door. We all looked at each other and bursted out laughing.
And that's how Agni, Soma and I became best friends through the power of braids.
