CW: AFAB reader. The term Mx. used for a title.
The cramps hit almost immediately as I woke up in the Phantomhive Mansion. It felt like a knife was stabbed into my stomach, and twisting around. I let out a small whimper of pain in reply.
“Mx. Y/N? Have you woken up?” A smooth voice drifted through the door.
“Yes, you may come in.” I groaned.
I remember how I got here now. The young master wanted to pay a visit to the city to find a new butler for the mansion. He was renovating the place, and thought since I had great experience I’d help do the job. I was hired and already woken up late for my first day.
The handsome butler Sebastian strode over to my bedside. He had hot tea and honey in his hands. He gently set it down next to me.
“Sorry for waking up late, I just-” I started, being cut off by Sebastian.
“No need. I know you are in pain, so, what is hurting you?”
“How did you know?”
“I am simply one hell of a butler. Butlers must at least know how others in the residence are feeling, should they not?”
“I suppose you’re right. I have my period, and the cramps are quite painful to say the least.”
Sebastian’s eyebrows furrowed together for a split second, then he went back to his normal face. It seemed like he was thinking.
“I see. Why don’t we get you comfortable then.”
I felt a sharp pain in my stomach, and quickly whimpered. Sebastian quickly ran to my side and grabbed the tea on my bedside table. I gently took it from his hands and took a sip. It started working immediately.
“Wow, this really works.” I remarked, taking another sip.
“It’s a special tea blend. Would you like me to ask Baldroy to prepare a warm water bottle? I could also ask Mey-Rin for warm towels.” Sebastian questioned, massaging my shoulders.
“Yes please. But, why are you doing so much for me?”
“You are a part of the Phantomhive family now. We must make sure everyone is in tip-top shape.”
“Thanks, Sebastian.”
“I will fetch the items for you, please hold a moment.”
He quickly, yet silently left the room.
Suddenly, I heard a crash from outside the door. It almost sounded like a window breaking.
“Ooooh Sebby!” A voice squealed from the hallway. “Are you seriously pampering another lady! What about me, did you forget about me!”
“Grell. They are none of your concern. Now please, fix the window or go home. Actually, do both. I know you are capable.” Sebastian's condescending voice quickly snapped at the person in the hall.
Sebastian rushed into my room. “Those damn grim reapers..” he muttered. “Here you are. Sorry about the loud noise. A visitor stopped by for a surprise visit.”
He handed me the warm items, and sat on my bed next to me. Slowly, he started massaging my head. I melted into his touch.
“Once you are ready, meet the others in the manor.”
“Yes, Sebastian.”
