The fog cleared out as the deal finished. I breathed in the human air once again for the first time in a while. It was always so much nicer up here compared to the always warm, dank air back home.
Where I was summoned specifically looked like the ruins of a building. It felt like the middle of winter as a cold chill ran through my bones and wet snow crunched under us. The building itself was surrounded by woods, tall pine trees reached up into the night sky. We weren't trapped here, however, as a thin, heavily walked on trail lead through the darkness.
“So, now what?” My new master, Y/N L/N, asked.
Y/N continued to shake in her boots. She wasn't the type of person to make a deal with demons. She was just a normal, everyday human.
I found the clothing Y/N was wearing to be odd. She was wearing black and white shoes with the text Nike that looked to have snow already soaked through. Her jeans hugged her hips and thighs snuggly and the shiny F/C coat was just long enough to cover the belt loops. The obviously fake fur on the hood perfectly framed the large, purple demon mark on her S/C throat.
I gave her a bow. “Whatever you want, my lady. But if you want an idea, I'd suggest showing me your home and schedule. I'm assuming that you don't live… here.”
“Oh! Yes, yes, that makes sense.” Y/N mumbled to herself and started walking out of the rubble and to the trail. I took a quick note on how she walked, her feet avoiding all of the cracks and small roots but standing on the bigger roots with both feet when she deemed it necessary. Y/N also fumbled with the metal bit on her shiny coat and pulled it up as high as it could, almost completely covering the demon mark, with a loud zipping noise.
“Are you alright, my lady?” I leaned down to her height.
Y/N jumped a bit and I reached out my hands to keep her from falling on the slipy snow. “I’m good- fine, it's just a weird thing I do when I walk.”
I nodded. “Alright, just tell me if I can help.”
I was given another shy, mumble of a thanks.
When we got closer to the end of the forest, I could see many lights peeking through the trees. It was brighter than the moon but didn't have the normal orange of a fire. I looked down at Y/N and she didn't seem anymore worried about it. I didn't let my concern faze through me, can’t have her thinking anything about me.
“We're gonna have to wait for a bus.” Y/N dug through her pocket and pulled out a thin, black slab. It suddenly lit up and Y/N started tapping it like nothing happened. “Looks like we only have to wait for a minute or two, hoping that it comes on time.”
“What is that?” I pointed at the thing, getting another surprise when the light turned off.
Y/N looked at the thing with shock before smiling and handing it to me. “It's a phone, Android’s Samsung Galaxy specifically.”
I looked it over, flipping it over and pressing the two indents on the side, making it light up again. “This is a phone, like as in a telephone? What year is this?”
“It's 2020.” Y/N told me as she grabbed the phone again, putting it back in her pocket.
2020? How long was I gone? I ate Ciel’s soul back in 1884 and stayed down below sense then. It makes sense though as everything here was so different from what I was used to.
Y/N rested her hands on my arms and gave me another soft smile. “It's alright. I can help you get used to my time.”
When Y/N let go of me, I gave her a knee. “Thank you, my lady. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.”
There was a loud sound of something approaching from behind and this giant medal monster started rolling at high speeds towards us as if it had thousands of horses dragging it behind. I stood in front of Y/N for protection from it but only got a calm pat on both of my sounders. “It's okay, it's only the bus.”
“Ah, yes, a bus, apologies for my outburst.” I stepped to the side. The bus rolled to a stop in front of us, letting out a loud sigh and the door slid open.
Y/N took shaky steps onto the bus and pulled out a black wallet from her purse. She stopped in front of the coach and pulled out a card, slipped it into something, punched in some numbers and pulled the card out and back into the wallet. The door closed behind us and the bus took off with no consideration for our safety.
The bus didn't have many people on it. Only some boy sleeping on two of the seats, a slightly older woman who clearly had too much to drink and a man with his eyes glued to his phone.
“Is this good?” Y/N stopped at two free seats.
“I don't see why not.” I answered.
Y/N slipped into the seat by the window and I sat on the outside. It was very small and cramped, it felt like I was sitting on a stool against the wall as if I was in timeout. Y/N was also slightly squished, lesser than me though. I could tell that she was doing her best to keep her legs from touching anything other than her seat too.
“My lady, would you care to sit on my lap?” I asked.
Y/N turned to be with a bright red face. “Oh my god! Did I hear you right?”
“Yes, it would give both you and I more space and you a more conterbul ride.” I rebutted.
Seeing no answer in sight, I made up Y/N’s mind for her and took her by the shoulders and lifted her into my lap. Y/N’s face brightened up even more like a tomato and became a stuttering mess. “You, Sebastien don't- aren't forced to…”
“I'm here to serve you, my lady. But if you're uncomfortable-”
Y/N relaxed into me a bit. “No, it's fine.”
I smiled from behind her. Moving my hands from her shoulders to her hips, I gained better balance with her and myself better. I also stretched my legs out and let Y/N get more comfortable in the unpleasant seating.
