Chapter 4-
A couple hours later, Ciel woke up. He sat up in his crib, with dazed eyes, he began to look around the room. When he didn't see his butler around, like he's suppose to, he began to wail and loudly at that. Ciel did not like how he couldn't see Sebastian near him like he was before falling asleep. Within seconds, Sebastian was at the door staring at his crying master. As soon as Ciel noticed Sebastian was in the room, his crying calmed down to sobs. Ciel also crawl up to the bars of his crib prison, since he can't very much stand without help, and also made grabbing motions towards Sebastian. Understanding the message, Sebastian went to his young master and picked his up. Sebastian placed Ciel back into his position with his head between his head and shoulder like the night before. Once Ciel was in place, he immediately calmed down even more, and stuck his thumb into his mouth.
Sebastian made his way out and down to the kitchen. All the while rubbing Ciel's head, or really his neko ears. Within seconds, Ciel calmed down completely and started purring. He also began to get sleepy again. But before Ciel could completely fall asleep again, they reached the kitchen. Sebastian tried to put Ciel into his high chair so he could go and prepare him his breakfast, but Ciel did not like that idea. As soon as Ciel's bottom touched the seat and he felt Sebastian's grip on him loosen, he began began to cry loudly, louder than before. He was thrashing around in his seat - kicking his legs and banging his tiny fists onto the attached table. Sighing, Sebastian came up and stood in front of Ciel. At once, Ciel's wailing went down to small sobbing and hiccups. Also, he was trying to reach up and grab onto Sebastian. Said butler bent down to be face to face with his young master. "Bocchan, if you can stay quiet for a little while for me to make your breakfast, you can...(pause for a couple moments as Sebastian thinks of a deal)... eat your food while sitting on my lap instead of in the highchair. How does that sound?" Sebastian asked Ciel while smirking. Ciel stared up at his butler and blinked. Tilting his head a bit to the side, Ciel put his thumb into his mouth again, and did a little nod. Sebastian then went off to quickly prepare the food. He came back in less than 5 minutes as to not upset his young master and have him crying all over again. When he did, he saw that Ciel still had his thumb firmly in his mouth and staring in a daze at the doorway where Sebastian was standing. It seems Ciel has been intensely, and patiently, waited for Sebastian to come back. Once Ciel saw Sebastian, his ears and tail perked up and he leaned forward, making grabbing motions at Sebastian. Immediately, Sebastian walked over to Ciel and picked him up, being careful to not spill the food on Ciel. He walked them over to the dining room and Sebastian sat down on a chair. He placed the bowl, that consisted of vanilla yogurt with fruit, and a bit of brown sugar (for Ciel's sweet tooth), on the table first. Then he adjusted Ciel on his lap into a comfortable position. After that was done, he grabbed the bowl and placed it in Ciel's lap and moved Ciel's hands to motion him to hold the bowl. "Now bocchan, please hold the bowl. Can you do that?" Right after Sebastian said that, Ciel nodded.
Throughout the next few minutes, Ciel really concentrated on holding the bowl and made sure it did not fall. But this did not help Sebastian when he was trying to feed Ciel, so after a while, Sebastian began to lightly cup the bowl whenever he fed Ciel. This was so that Ciel would not only focus on holding the bowl but also eat. Almost towards the end of his meal, Ciel completely woke up, which had him thinking, "Why am I acting like this, trying so hard to please that stupid butler?" While thinking this, Ciel had forgotten he was suppose to hold onto the bowl, and since Sebastian wasn't either at that moment, the bowl dropped onto the floor, making a loud noise. The noise completely scared the hell out of Ciel, causing him to cry once again. Balling his fist, he began to rub his eyes.
"Shhh, bocchan, it's okay. You're alright, I won't let anything bad happen to you. Now quiet down." Sebastian said this in a calm and soothing voice, while placing Ciel against his chest and rubbing his eyes. This continued on for almost an hour, though Ciel had calmed down from the loud crash accident rather quickly. What caused him to continuously cry for almost an hour was remembering that he failed the task Sebastian had given him to hold the bowl. He had completely forgot about being self conscious and stopped asking himself why. Ciel finally stopped and toned down to sobs and hiccups after a long hour with Sebastian trying to calm him down. Though this only happened because said butler finally got his master's message after Ciel lifted his head from his shoulder. Ciel stared at Sebastian still crying and went to try to hug his butler, and also spitting out the phase "I'm sorry"; however it came out more like "I srowwy". After understanding why his young master was upset about, it made Sebastian's job to soothe Ciel much easier.
++++++Later in the day++++++++++++
Ciel had woken up in his crib. After his little episode (I know it sounds weird, but I couldn't think of another word), he was set on having Sebastian near him at all times, but also not to do anything that'll upset him or make him mad at him(Ciel). And since Ciel could not spot said butler anywhere in his room, he resorted to crying for him.
Sebastian heard Ciel crying as soon as he started; he did not expect his master he wake so soon. Immediately, Sebastian thought of an idea and was smirking - If I wait a bit, what would bocchan's reaction be, since he already thought I was mad at him. Sure enough, when Sebastian finally walked into Ciel's room, Ciel was acting as Sebastian thought, and even more. Ciel was crying, hiccupping, and was repeating "I srowwy, I srowwy. Sebasan" in between his sobs. His eyes had also gotten red and swollen from him rubbing them with his little balled up fist. From seeing his master like this, for the first time since the human world was born he felt guilt. This confused Sebastian a lot since he hadn't felt guilt at all even when he killed *inset any person or thing close to Sebastian you want*. He was snapped away from his thoughts of confusion when Ciel cried even louder and tried calling to Sebastian to get his attention. Quickly, Sebastian went to Ciel's crib and picked him up, putting him in the usual spot, and went to soothe his crying master. He whispered comforting words to Ciel while rubbing his ears and back. This continued on for at least an hour, until Sebastian came up with a solution. "Shh. Please stop crying. You don't want me mad nor bothered right? ... Ciel"
"He's in a frail state right now. You'll have no problem bringing him here." A shadowing figure said to the man kneeling in front of her. It went, walking until it was right in front of the kneeling man. The looming figure lifted his chin with its foot, almost afraid to touch him like he was infinitely dirty, and looked into his scared eyes with its own cold piercing one. Smirking the figure said, "Don't disappoint me scum." With that she walked out the door, leaving the still kneeling man in his own fear that she inflicted.
"I will have you back Ciel. You have been a bad boy to have run away like that. You'll need to be punished."
