Chapter 17

I just realized how long it's been since I last updated and I am really sorry!!! I've been super busy, especially with school work!! But thank you all for not giving up on this story. And so here is chapter 17 to make up for it! Please review!!

Reader-chan POV

My gaze shifted towards the doors of the infirmary and saw everyone rushing in. And by everyone I meant my squad and the Phantomhive servants. Before I knew it, Sasha had pushed through everyone and crushed me into a hug, burying her head into my stomach.
I groaned in pain. Damn, does this girl have any limits?
"Oh my goodness!! I was so scared you would leave us!!!" she cried.
"Sasha! Get off her! Can't you see you're crushing her?" said Connie as he attempted to pull her off.
Sebastian stood my side and decided to interfere, gripping her by the waist and easily pulling her off.
She squealed and fell to the floor with a loud thud.
"Please keep it quiet down there!" huffed the nurse at the door of the infirmary.
"Sorry!" called Armin.
"Are you gonna die?" asked Sasha. I blinked in surprise.
"Uh...no?" I answered.
"What kind of question was that?" snickered Jean.
"Well I was just making sure!" frowned Sasha. I smiled felt a gaze on me. I looked to my left and saw Eren looking at my neck. I chewed on the inside of my cheek and placed a hand atop my scar.
"Eren! Quit staring!" whispered Armin. Eren seemed to have noticed what he was doing and shook his head, meeting my gaze.
"I'm sorry captain. I didn't mean to-"
"It's okay Eren. I know it looks horrible," I said, smoothing out the blanket around me.
"Huh?! No that's not why-" he blushed and stammered.
"I was joking. It's okay," I chuckled.
"Erm...yeah I knew that," he muttered, scratching the back of his neck and looking away.
"Moron," I heard Jean mutter. Eren seemed to have heard and matched up to him.
"What'd ya say horse face?!" he growled. Oh geez. Not now.
"You heard me, damn suicidal bastard," he smirked down at Eren.
I pinched the bridge of my nose and sighed.
"You want me to take care of it?" came Mikasa's quiet reply next to it.
I looked up at them once more.
"Yeah." Mikasa quietly approached them and lifted her fists, hitting the back of their heads.
"Ow!"
"What the hell?!"
"What was that for?" demanded Eren.
"Captain doesn't need this right now. She needs to rest and get better but she won't be able to do that if she has to deal with you two," she said. Wow, two sentences out of her. I'm impressed.
"Mikasa's right, we should all leave and let her rest," agreed Armin.
"Wait one more thing. When is she getting out of here?" asked Connie.
"Her file says in a day or two," read Bardroy.
"Oh good," smiled Finny.
"We'll be leaving right now captain, please rest," said Armin and hugged me. I smiled and patted his back.
"Thank you for coming. Oh and mikasa?"
She turned and looked down at me.
"If anyone does something stupid, you have my permission to hit them and make them run laps."
I saw her lips twitch into a small smile before she nodded and turned around, heading out the door.
"Why does Mikasa have to be in charge?" Grumbled Eren.
"Because we're all scared of her?" came Connie's reply before shutting the infirmary's door.
I felt a familiar presence beside me and saw Sebastian standing beside my bed, looking down at the floor, deep in thought.
I raised my hand and gripped his gloved hand, intertwining our fingers together.
He looked up and met my gaze.
"You okay?" I asked. He's acting different. He's not usually like this and I'm getting worried. He gave me a smile that was obviously fake and gently squeezed my hand.
"Yes, don't worry. I'm merely thinking of something," Sebastian responded. I raised an eyebrow and searched his face.
"And that is?"
"Nothing important," he smiled once more and leaned down. He placed his lips on my forehead and pecked it, his lips lingering a second before he pulled away.
"I love you," he whispered, as he looked into my eyes. My heart raced at his words and I felt a blush settle on my cheeks.
"I love you too," I said and kissed his lips. Sebastian responded by placing both hand on my cheeks, cupping them. His lips moved eagerly against mine. It was different than our usual soft ones and I could tell he was stressing about something.
Eventually, he pulled away and looked to the side, almost shamefully.
"Sebastian..." I said, trying to get his attention.
"I'm afraid I must go. My young master is calling for me and I must attend him."
I reached out for his arm as he stood and headed toward the door but he seemed to have sensed it or something and pulled it away before I could grasp it.
I brought my hand back down and frowned. Something's not right, I thought.
He softly shut the door behind him and I sighed.
I'm definitely going to find out what you're hiding Sebastian...

Sorry it's so short!! But I'm tired and I hope I can publish something longer tomorrow. But please review!!
