I was soon woken up by a whisper in my ear. "Ciel... We're here, wake up..." Came a deep voice through the darkness.
I frown a little, scratching my ear which had the tingling sensation of his breath against it then returned to my previous position.
I heard a chuckle then once again came the deep voice. "Ciel. Get up. If you really want to continue sleeping here then that's fine, but at least let me get up." I could almost hear the smirk in his voice which forces my eyes to snap open.
I was sitting on his lap. How did that happen!?
"You know, you have a beautiful eye, there was no need to hide it." He suddenly tells me. I thought something seemed different. And that difference was me seeing from both my eyes. Oh no, he saw it!
I quickly jump off and clamp my hand over my eye, staring at the man with an unsure look on my face.
"Ciel, if you really don't like it that much I can always get you an eye patch to hide it if you wish." Sebastian asks me with a slightly concerned look in his blood red eyes.
Of course, I was a little surprised at this. I thought that the only emotions he had was smirk, smile, look amused or look irritated. I never knew he would be concerned for me, though…
"Please do." I answer him. "Can I stay in here though? I don't really wish to show myself looking like this…" I mumble nervously.
Sebastian had an understanding look on his face before finally ruffling my hair, getting out the limousine and going into the mall to go shopping for the boy.
I sit and watch him leave until he leaves my sight and so I take this time to think for a bit.
I had a few questions already popping into my mind, like why did he choose to pick 'me' out of all the other Neko's in the store. Well, he said I had an interesting personality… But that can't be all of it, right?
Then there's also the red head part. He said Grell as if it he had acid on his tongue just by saying the word. Maybe he knows the guy and hates him? That's probably it. Anyone would after knowing him for a few minuit's.
I quietly sigh to myself whilst asking more and more questions. I was becoming a little anxious about why it took him so long and but just then he happened to open the door and slide in, almost giving me a heart attack.
"I'm sorry if some clothes aren't the right size. I just did a random guess since I don't know your exact size number."
He sniggers to himself then plops the filled up back onto the seat then pulls out an eye patch just like he promised he would.
"Would you like to put it on now or only when we go out?" He asks me.
I think for a bit then finally shake my head slowly. "Only when out. I find no need to do it around you since you've already seen my eye." I tell him.
He nods then does the thing with the button again, this time saying to home.
I wonder what his home looks like. Maybe it's a palace…? I try imagine it but soon scrunch up my face and shake my head. No, that's stupid.
Sebastian watches me as I do that and I quickly direct my glare at him as my furry ears pick up on his chuckling.
"What's wrong, Kitten?" He teases me, resting his chin on his palm while watching me with those red eyes of his.
"…Why do you have red eyes?" I suddenly ask him, not wanting to be embarrassed any further and changing the subject quickly.
Sebastian stays quiet for a while, as if ponding on a way to answer me then finally straightens up and begins to speak.
"An infection that spread to my eyes and changed their color." He simply tells me. I raise a brow. That was a plausible answer, but my gut told me that wasn't the whole truth, but I went along with it anyway.
"What color were your eyes before the infection?" I ask him, my ears perk up slightly, awaiting an answer but he simply smirks. "You seem eager to know more about me, truth be told I also want to know more about you, too."
I grumble slightly. "Well then, what do you want to know?" I flick my white tipped tail impatiently, awaiting a question.
"You never told me your last name." He simply says, watching me with amused eyes.
"It's Phantomhive. Happy?" I hiss at him grumpily.
"Quite. The surname suits you no matter how you think of it. By the way, doesn't Ciel mean 'from heaven' in Latin?" Sebastian asks again. "That just does not go well with your personality, does it?" He smirks teasingly.
"Oi!" I lash my tail angrily. "Not my fault that's what my parents named me… My parents." I calm slightly and slump against the chair, trying to remember what their names were. Vincent and Rachel, right? I think that's what their name was…
Sebastian loses his smirk quickly and begins to scratch my ear soothingly again. "Try not to think of them at the moment, okay? When we get home I will show you your room and you can try on the clothes I bought for you. We can try making some pancakes." He tells me with a gentle voice.
I begin to purr again and nod quietly, leaning into the touch. "I like pancakes. Do you have syrup too?" I ask rather eagerly.
He laughs softly at my excitement. "I'm guessing you've got a sweet tooth. That might be a problem. But no matter."
After a while of simply sitting there and getting to know each other a little more the car stops and Sebastian looks out the window.
"Ciel, we're here."
