[Butler Story - Nac] Nac’s Secret

all ✧ next chapter

Chapter 1

-One day-

【Forest Near the Mansion】

Muu: Hmhmhm~m

Nac: Muu-kun. You’re in an awfully good mood today.

Muu: Yes!

Muu: We’re about to go shopping in town, right?

Muu: I love shopping in town!

> You do?

Nac: Oh? Why’s that?

Muu: There’s so much yummy food in town!

Muu: When I go shopping with Lono-san, he always buys snacks…

Muu: And we secretly eat them on the way home!

Muu: I’m so excited to eat!

Muu: Hmm~! I wonder what snacks I’ll have today~!

> If you’re doing it secretly, you shouldn’t say it out loud… > Is it okay to tell us this, Muu?

Muu: Ah…

Nac: My, my. Muu-kun, you seem to have forgotten that…

Nac: I’m in charge of the mansion’s finances.

Nac: To think you were hiding such a thing from me.

Muu: U-Uhm… That’s not it!

Muu: I-It was just a joke! I swear!

Muu: A-Ahahaha…

Nac: No wonder why the expenses for food have been so high recently.

Nac: It all makes sense now.

Nac: So you were the culprits.

Muu: U-Uhm…

> You reap what you sow… > You dug your own grave

Muu: I-I’m sorry!

Muu: I was a bit impulsive!

Muu: P-Please forgive me.

Nac: Good grief…

Nac: You could have just told me…

Muu: Huh? So you mean…

Muu: If I just tell you, I can buy snacks?

Nac: Yes, of course.

Nac: I’ll just deduct it from your wages.

Muu: N-No way! Then there’s no point in telling you!

Nac: Muu-kun. The mansion’s funds are an important asset.

Nac: It’s not something to use for personal means.

Muu: Yes… I’m sorry.

Muu: Uu… You’re too serious.

Nac: Serious…

Nac: You think so? I don’t see myself as a serious person.

Muu: Huh? If you’re not serious, what does that make me?

> An overly mischievous cat?

Muu: T-That’s rude! Aruji-sama!

Nac: Fufu. To be able to joke around like this…

Nac: The two of you have a strong bond.

Nac: I’m truly envious.

Nac: I also wish to become a butler that Aruji-sama can trust in.

> I do trust you > Thanks for always taking care of me

Nac: Fufu. Thank you.

Nac: Now then, we’ve almost reached town.

Nac: Let’s not spend too long shopping.

Muu: Yeah!

Dash…

> Hm? Is someone coming? > Is someone running this way?

Muu: Aruji-sama, please get behind me.

Young Man: Hah, hah, hah…

Muu: One of the townspeople…?

Young Man: T-There you are! Y-You’re a Devil Butler, right?

Nac: Yes, I am.

Nac: You seem quite flustered. Is something the matter?

Young Man: A-Angels…

Young Man: Angels have appeared in the town…!

Nac: What? Angels?

Muu: Really?

Young Man: Please! Hurry! 

Young Man: If you don’t, my family will…!

Young Man: They’ll be erased!

Muu: Aruji-sama, Nac-san. We have to hurry!

Nac: …

> Nac? > What’s wrong?

Nac: That’s odd. If angels appeared, then the siren should be ringing…

Nac: So, why isn’t it?

Young Man: Who cares about that right now!

Young Man: People’s lives are at stake!

Young Man: There’s nothing we can do if you don’t hunt the angels!

Muu: Nac-san…!

Nac: I understand. Let us hurry.

Nac: Aruji-sama, could you come with us?

You: *Nods*

Young Man: Over here! Please hurry!

go my minions… kiss…

[accirax]

with many people speculating that the identity of the culprit will finally come to light next episode and many theories running abound, i'd like to make a masterlist of all of the theories people have written out guessing who the culprit will be. that includes the main murder of Arei, the attempt on Ace, and any theories synthesizing the two. i think it would be fun to read up on before the episode, and fun to look back at once all is said and done :D

so, if you've made a theory speculating about the murder, please leave a comment on this post (preferably with a link to the theory)! i'll only be adding the theories of those who comment on the post, just so that i don't accidentally make anyone feel excluded/highlight someone's post that doesn't want to be shouted out.

all i ask is that you only submit whatever the most current version of your theory per character/combination of characters. for instance, if you wrote a theory based on the evidence from part 1, but wrote a new version taking into account what happened in episode 12 or 13, i'm only going to add the newer one. if you only have a version from part 1, though, that's fine!

(also, for all theoretical theorists out there, a reminder that i made an episode guide that breaks down all the episodes into easier-to-find sections. i just updated it for 2-13!)

Chapter seven of my SniperScout time loop AU is out now on AO3!

Part 2 of the finale will be published tomorrow!

Summary:

Working under RED can be repetitive at times - but nothing like this. 

After a curse is fired his way, Scout is forced to live through the same day over and over and over again. 

It should be easy for someone as perfect as Scout to break the curse, right? 

As long as he doesn't have to confront the things he's been feeling towards Sniper it should be a piece of cake!

Chapter summary:

Nothing lasts forever.

Homesick (1)

Summary: What happens when Sam Witwicky's older sister, you, gets wrapped up with the conflict of the autobots and the decepticons coincidentally by visiting your family? Over time, it seems that you and the autobot's leader find out you two have more in common than you initially thought… But it doesn't really mean anything, right?

A/N: Hi everyone! This is gonna be my first actual long fanfic which I'm pretty nervous about (since I always seem to backtrack on the ones I try to write.)

But I recently watched Transformers 2007 and the brainrot is honestly too intense, I had to do something about it so bayverse OP x reader!! It's funny, I've been a transformers fan since 2017 and I've now just got around to watching the movie. I was kinda putting it off since it's not exactly a fan fav among some transformers fans haha. Oh yeah, there are a few scenes from the movie I won't write like the weird bumblebee piss scene and some of the mildly suggestive dialogue considering the other two main characters (besides the reader) are literally like 16 😭. Micheal bay is a freak!!!

Just a heads up, I guess I'm going for a more wattpad-y vibe for this fic considering some of the tropes that I'm using and the fact I'm going directly off of the tf 2007 movie (cause that's like every bayverse op x reader that's on there lolz). Idk Ig I just have a guilty pleasure for corny fics so yeah!!

If y'all want to read this on ao3 or Wattpad, it's in my pinned post :3 Anyways, bye pookies!!

As the moon's reflected light illuminated the dark room, it was quiet besides the occasional shuffling and jolting that came from your sleeping form. Suddenly your eyes shot open. You groaned as you sat up and felt a layer of cold sweat coating your forehead. You shakily got up from the bed and began a walk to the kitchen to get a glass of water. A small creak came from the cabinet and you grabbed a small glass and filled it with tap water, taking a few gulps. After four long years of college, you decided to move away from your hometown and all the way across the country to the east coast. Los Angeles was never your type of city as, in your opinion, it was mainly set up for movie stars and aspiring musicians, not computer scientists. So moving to a completely different city like Philadelphia to pursue your passion sounded like a fantastic idea. But now that you’re here, you’ve felt nothing but homesick.

You’ve always been a family-orientated person, always spending time with your parents and helping Sam, your little brother, with what he needed for school. Although he could be a serious little shit sometimes, the two of you were like peas in a pod, absolute besties! A small smile grows across your face as you think of the times you picked him up from school and took him to the arcade or when you always managed to find tickets to his favorite bands and saw them during the weekends.

A small sigh leaves your lips and you set down your glass on the counter. You walk back into your bedroom and take a look at the calendar hanging on the wall, the month being March. The thought of visiting your family crossed your mind and you could wait a few more months until summer came around but it’s not like you were working at the moment. After you moved, you were working a job as an information security analyst. The pay was definitely above average and it was going alright until an unsavory incident happened with a coworker and you literally couldn’t work there, so you quit.

Alright, I have enough money in my bank account to buy a plane ticket and to sustain me for a few weeks while I’m there. I should probably call mom in the morning and tell her I’m planning on visiting, her and dad will probably be ecstatic. As for Sam…

You opened a drawer on your nightstand and pulled out a piece of jewelry. It was an opal bead necklace you found at the mall one day. It was sort of an impulsive purchase, considering the price, but you thought it would be a nice gift for your little brother because opal was his birthstone after all. You gently placed the necklace back in the drawer and shut it, making your way back to your calendar and writing a few reminders on some of the upcoming days. 

       . ݁₊ ⊹ . ݁ ⟡ ݁ . ⊹ ₊ ݁.

After all the planning and flying, you were finally back in California. It really was a pain since there somehow weren't any available flights to Los Angeles from Philadelphia so you had to spend the night in an empty airport in Kansas and fly to L.A. in the morning. A yawn falls from your lips as you drive through the familiar neighborhoods leading up to your family's home. You turn on the radio and the latest hit began to play, “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce you thought. It wasn’t really your type of music but it’s Beyonce.

A few minutes passed and you heard your phone ringing. You turned down the radio and grabbed it from the passenger seat, flipping it open and putting it against your ear. “Hello?”

‘Hi honey.’ It was your mom. ‘How far out are you?’

“Oh hi mom. I’m not that far, just give me a few more minutes. You don’t have to call me when you know I'll be there eventually.” You chuckled, gently pressing the brakes as you stopped at a red light.

‘I know, I’m just excited to see you!’ Her voice buzzed excitedly. ‘I’ll be waiting outside for you, see you in a bit.’

“See you in a bit.”

A few moments later the familiar layout of your house came into view and you couldn't help but feel a bit giddy. You saw your mom, Judy, excitedly waving next to the frontdoor, you smiled to yourself. You pulled your car into the driveway and got out of it, Judy pulling you into a tight hug, swaying you from side to side slightly. "I'm so happy to see you, honey!" 

She said sweetly, pulling away while holding both of your hands. "How’s my little genius been?"

Your smile turned into a small frown. "Oh I've been doing... alright for the most part. I had to quit my job recently because of a bad experience I had with a coworker. I’ll tell you about it later but it really sucks, I liked that job." You grimaced slightly at the memories of the not-very-pleasant experience, Judy patting your back in a comforting manner. "Anyway, say, where's dad?" You abruptly changed the subject.

"Oh, your father had to run some errands, but he'll be back soon. He's been so hellbent on making his grass perfect. I think he's starting to go a bit crazy." She said, doing a swirly motion around the side of her head.

You chuckle as you walk back over to your car to retrieve your bag and suitcase. You and Judy walk into the house, an excited mojo greeting you by jumping up and down in that typical chihuahua fashion. "Aw, hi mojo." You cooed, leaning down and petting him near his ears. "I missed you too." Your eyes drifted down to his coller, seeing the jewelry wrapped around his neck.

“Is this your doing, mom?” You laughed.

Judy simply shrugged. “I think it looks cute on him. Oh yeah, Sam's upstairs doing his whole eBay thing, I'm sure he'll tell you all about it when you talk to him." Judy said, walking towards the kitchen and preheating the oven. "Do you need help with your bags?"

"No I'm alright mom, thanks though." You say, walking towards the staircase with your bags in hand.

"Alright honey, make sure to tell Sam I'm making lunch."

"Will do!" You holler from upstairs.

You head towards the rather empty room that used to be yours and set your things down, looking around at the empty walls where posters used to hang and the still neat bed, feeling a little nostalgic. You exit your room and head right to Sam's, ignoring the do not enter sign and opening the door. You see your brother’s hunched over figure messing around on his computer and shake your head, knocking on the door frame to alert him of your presence. Sam jumped, turning around suddenly. "Jesus! You scared the shit outta me. I didn't know you were here yet."

"I can't believe you didn't hear me. Come here, give me a hug dude." You said, spreading your arms in an inviting motion. Sam rolled his eyes and walked over and hugged you. You gave him a small pat on the back and pulled away from him, giving him a small grin. "So how are things? How's school?" You asked.

"It's good, pretty good. I've been trying to get this whole eBay thing running. Oh yeah, and dad made a deal with me and soon I’ll have my own car. I just gotta get an A on this history project coming up." Sam replied, turning around and typing a few more things into his laptop before closing it.

“Wow, that’s awfully generous of him. I’m excited for you though.” You chuckled, leaning against his door frame and crossing your arms. "Anything new with that one girl… What was her name?"

"You mean Mikaela?”

“Yeah Mikaela, The girl you’ve liked since forever and is totally not out of your league.” You said sarcastically.

"What??" Sam exclaimed, whipping his head towards you. "She is not out of my league! She is really gorgeous and stunning in every single way, and she would totally give me a chance. I just gotta… ask her.”

"And when will that be, Casanova?" You laughed.

"Soon! Really really soon. When I get this car next week, and I will get that A, then I’ll have a chance! Any girl loves a guy with a nice car." Sam said, a cocky tone in his voice. 

"Oookay, I hear you... oh yeah! Hold on, I got something for you, give me a second..." You walked into your room and rummaged through your purse, pulling out the necklace. You walk back into Sam’s room and excitedly give him the piece of jewelry. “I found it while I was shopping at the local mall a few months ago. Since Opal is your birthstone, I thought you’d like it. And it’s also not a super girly necklace, you’re welcome by the way.”

Sam took the necklace from your hands and admired the carefully strung together beads in the sunlight of his window, the beads glimmering a variety of colors. “Wow this is really neat. Thank you but y’know, I'm not really much of a jewelry guy." Sam said a bit nervously.

"Oh come on, wear it!" You pat him on the back reassuringly. "Girls love guys who are comfortable with their sexuality, it shows maturity. Besides, you'll look like one of those... surfer guys. You know what I mean? When they wear those small necklaces.”

Sam frowned and gestured to himself. "Do I look like a surfer guy?"

"I’m just trying to be supportive!" You said, making your way out of the room. "By the way, mom's making lunch. Make sure not to get too engrossed in your master plan of getting with Mikaela and actually put some meat on those bones." You commented teasingly.

Sam groaned and waved you off dismissively, sitting down at his desk again. You chuckle and walk into your room, crouching down and pulling a few essentials out of your suitcase. Now that you’re back in Cali, you were excited to see a few of your friends that you’ve been friends with since high-school. Funnily enough, you managed to become friends with the “popular girls” solely because you helped a few of them with their math and science work and now they deemed you besties for life.

Which you didn’t mind honestly.

Most of these girls were rich and actually really nice despite what people stereotype “popular girls” to be. The person that comes to mind is your friend Felicity. She’s probably the one you would call your “top tier bestie”, the girl that constantly came over to your house when you were a teenager (annoying your brother immensely), the girl that called you like every single day you were away to college since you two went to different ones. She was super duper excited when you called her, telling her how you were gonna be in town for a few weeks.

Of course she had plans for you two to go to the spa and then go to the beach and blah blah blah. It would be nice to get out of the house every once in a while to catch up since Sam's gonna be in school most of the time. You put your laptop down on your bed and was about to sit down before you heard your mom yell for you from the kitchen.

“Hey sweetie, can you come down and help me?”

“Oh– Coming Mom!” You quickly got up and left your room, heading downstairs. You couldn’t help but look forward to the next few upcoming weeks, knowing it’ll be the most eventful and actually fun thing you’ve done in months. 

[buwheal]

Is there a place you could slip off to and wash your clothes or get a change of clothes? Even if they don't stay clean, just that little piece of freshness might perk your system up for a bit. (Not trying to pick on you, I know you're in a tough spot. Stay safe-- Love you, buddy.)

[stop-the-play]

> (Explore) "Why don't you choose instead? I'd like to hear what you have to say."

"Me? Choose? How... courteous."

VOICE OF THE MEEK: ...Is that a good thing...?

"But that's not how this works. It doesn't matter what I want. You're the one with the choice."

The entity reaches forward, a single hand drifting away from the rest of its form to gently cradle your face.

The world cuts out, save for the feeling of static in your blood.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: —!

VOICE OF THE HERO: Oh, no, no, no, you're on a path in the woods and at the end of that path is a cabin and in the basement of that cabin is an Entity you're here to—

And then it returns, the hand receding from your skin.

"Do try to make the right one."

> "I think I'll do this." [Toss the blade off the dock]

VOICE OF THE MEEK: What? No!!

But it's too late for him to stop you. The blade is already slipping from your hand and arcing into the darkness below.

It lands with a splash, somewhere out of sight.

"You... really did it. You gave up your power."

"How..."

"...stupid."

In an instant it sets upon you, hands reaching for your face, trying to wrap around your limbs. Your senses cut out as one.

VOICE OF THE HERO: RUN!

But you can't.

VOICE OF THE HERO: Mate! Can you hear me? RUN!

But you can't even feel your legs.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: Come on, please, we can't die like this...

VOICE OF THE HERO:

> [RUN]

And you do. Your awareness blinks back to see that your legs are already moving, taking you from plank to plank even without input from you.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: oh god oh god oh god

VOICE OF THE HERO: Can you take it from here, mate? I think we took it by surprise, but it won't stay shaken for long.

> [Run.]

You run, ignoring the squeal of static mounting in the air behind you as the entity takes pursuit. The only thing that matters is the pounding of the wood beneath your feet as you flee through a maze with no exits and no merging paths, only fractals that branch off into isolated eternity.

But eternity is a very long time and a very long distance, and there is only so far a creature of flesh and blood can run before it starts to make mistakes.

You miss the step between docks, only by a little, but even that is enough. Your foot lands not on even wood but on the edge of the plank, twisting your ankle and sending you plunging into the dark water that passes for a floor here.

The water turns out to be shallow, a bed of silt breaking your fall before it can truly begin. But even as you push yourself to your knees in an attempt to get back to the docks, you know it's too late.

"Caught you."

And then your awareness vanishes one final time. Everything goes dark.

VOICE OF THE MEEK: This is it, isn't it? We're dead. For real. Again.

VOICE OF THE HERO: No, no, we can't be dead. We—we're on a path in the woods. And at the end of that path is a cabin. And in... and in the basement of that cabin... in the basement is...

The voice's words grow weaker until he stops speaking entirely, and you are left alone. Even the static of the entity's presence has faded.

"...I did it."

Or perhaps not entirely alone. The entity's voice finds its way into your ears even as they continue to shut down, muffled but still audible.

"I did it. I did it! He's dead! He's dead, I killed him, and now he can't..."

"He can't..."

"...He didn't even have the blade. What could he have done to me?"

"...Why did I do that?"

The static returns.

"H-hey. You're not actually dead this time, are you? You came back just fine last time. You can do that again, right?"

If the voice is still there, still able to revive you, he isn't speaking.

"It's okay! I won't kill you again, I promise! You can get up!"

"...A-are you just asleep or something? Wake up. Please, wake up."

The static grows stronger as your hearing finally begins to give up.

"Wake up. Wake up."

"Wake up..."

But you can't.

Everything falls silent, and you die.

This is the end.
