Maybe “i couldn’t kiss you all day! let me make up for it now,” for Sebamey (in a scenario where they’re trying to conceal their relationship from O!Ciel and the other servants)?

“I couldn’t kiss you all day! Let me make up for it now!”

Mey Rin was gushing out as soon as she'd met up with Sebastian, considering they had indeed been apart for several hours this day.

It all had been due to a big Underworld Meeting the Earl and Guard Dog had had, along with fellow low-lifes like Diedrich and Chlaus.

It was more like an annual thing, after all and things had gone quite smoothly..

But that also meant it had stretched on for what felt like forever, even to an immortal demon such as Sebastian.

Speaking of the butler, he couldn't help being a little wide eyed and flushed in the face...

As his secret love rushed right for him... while they were in the KITCHEN of all places..

"A-are you sure about-"

Soft lips pressed firmly into his, shutting him up instantly.

Mey Rin's tiny fingers had found his gloved hands, and picked them up, squeezing his hands once at the same time she pressed her lips in.

The butler sighed out through his nose, and his eyes fluttered closed after a second longer of his mind adjusting to this.

He should have been prepared...

It was still... astounding..

She loves me.. entirely.. without question... n-no matter the circumstances...

Flushing more, the demon squeezed the woman's littler hands back finally.

And a purr started up gradually from his diaphragm.

I am truly the luckiest demon ever..

"SO.. can we get back t'cleanin' up 'er what? I'd like t'do my job now so I can get some SHUT-EYE, y'know."

Bardroy glowered at the two servants leaning right against the sink counter, obstructing his ability to wash the dishes any longer like he had been.

And thus the two love birds zipped away from each other, Mey Rin practically SHRIEKING and looking ready to burst, while Sebastian, well, let's just say interrupting them was even more worth it to see that smug bastard looking like a boy who'd just dropped his ice cream or somethin'.

"R-rioght-, w-well, uh, g-goodnight then!!" The maid squeaked out nervously and scrambled for the exit..

..But not before peeking back over at Sebastian..

He'd be glaring at the chef for obvious reasons, but then he caught her looking..

And a flush once again littered the butler's eye pale cheeks.

His lips turning up, into a sweet little hesitant smile.. Just for her.

He nodded once, and winked.

And the maid was running away.

Up to her bedroom.

Her brain seeming to be just fine automatically going about undressing and dressing her for bed, taking out pigtails, brushing hair, laying out clothes for tomorrow..

Then she was in bed, practically burrowing tight under her blankets like a scared little mouse in the woods, hiding from predators.

Until..

A knock on the maids door sounded.

Mey Rin hadn't been asleep at all in that time.

She sat up, put her glasses back on, and relit her bedside candle.

"Come in.." She squeaked out, not bothering to get up and go to the door.

Not for this instance.

It opened gently, and Sebastian stepped in, his foot falls barely heard even on the manor's old floorboards, and even despite the fact he didn't need to remain silent at this point; being at his destination already.

The door quietly clicked shut.

"I couldn't kiss you all day," Sebastian said, smiling as he set his own candle down next to hers on the night stand.

"Let me make up for it right now."

one thing that took me embarrassingly long to learn is "sometimes when people say things, they will not be true."

I used to tell people about this revelation and they'd be like yeah.....duh.....but like, why wouldn't my base assumption be that you're communicating to me in a straightforward manner. anyway, I get scammed a lot.

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

Today my therapist introduced me to a concept surrounding disability that she called "hLep".

[plain-text version of this post can be found under the cut]

Which is when you - in this case, you are a disabled person - ask someone for help ("I can't drink almond milk so can you get me some whole milk?", or "Please call Donna and ask her to pick up the car for me."), and they say yes, and then they do something that is not what you asked for but is what they think you should have asked for ("I know you said you wanted whole, but I got you skim milk because it's better for you!", "I didn't want to ruin Donna's day by asking her that, so I spent your money on an expensive towing service!") And then if you get annoyed at them for ignoring what you actually asked for - and often it has already happened repeatedly - they get angry because they "were just helping you! You should be grateful!!"

And my therapist pointed out that this is not "help", it's "hLep".

Sure, it looks like help; it kind of sounds like help too; and if it was adjusted just a little bit, it could be help. But it's not help. It's hLep.

At its best, it is patronizing and makes a person feel unvalued and un-listened-to. Always, it reinforces the false idea that disabled people can't be trusted with our own care. And at its worst, it results in disabled people losing our freedom and control over our lives, and also being unable to actually access what we need to survive.

So please, when a disabled person asks you for help on something, don't be a hLeper, be a helper! In other words: they know better than you what they need, and the best way you can honor the trust they've put in you is to believe that!

Also, I want to be very clear that the "getting angry at a disabled person's attempts to point out harmful behavior" part of this makes the whole thing WAY worse. Like it'd be one thing if my roommate bought me some passive-aggressive skim milk, but then they heard what I had to say, and they apologized and did better in the future - our relationship could bounce back from that. But it is very much another thing to have a crying shouting match with someone who is furious at you for saying something they did was ableist. Like, Christ, Jessica, remind me to never ask for your support ever again! You make me feel like if I asked you to call 911, you'd order a pizza because you know I'll feel better once I eat something!!

Edit: crediting my therapist by name with her permission - this term was coined by Nahime Aguirre Mtanous!

Edit again: I made an optional follow-up to this post after seeing the responses. Might help somebody. CW for me frankly talking about how dangerous hLep really is.
