Chapter 11: playing and working:
...
After a few months :
It is no longer winter anymore , the weather becomes very nice and warm, and it is perfect to go out for a picnic.
Unfortunately Sebastian has no time for these things, he has to translate a 1 book every day to earn money that he needs for rent and other stuffs. He was earning money better when he was working with that gang, but whatever he promised himself to don't back again and work with them.
It wasn't a matter for Sebastian to be at home all the day, he is not the type of person who is all active and want to meet friends or something like that, but for a child staying at small house for a whole week without going outside was like a hell.
" Sebastian let's go out " Ciel said
" sorry Ciel but I really have work to deal with "
" But " Ciel furrowed his brow.
" maybe next time Ciel "
" hmph " pouted Ciel " it's all boring here"
" I know Ciel I know, but look I must to translate all these ten books " Sebastian was in a process to translate a children series stories " you take this notepad and the colours "
" no I don't want to draw or colouring anymore " Ciel still pouting.
Ciel saw how much the books Sebastian was translating are colourful and bright, he believes that they must be a fun stories that he want to listen to.
Ciel always enjoys listening to stories, but Sebastian is really bad at telling stories, he doesn't make a different sound for each character, he doesn't even make an eyes contact with Ciel while reading the story, he doesn't act the event or makes Ciel expect what will happen next, but his mother was very good at telling them she was making a different sound, she was always make an eyes contact with Ciel, she asked Ciel to expect what would happen next, because of this Ciel stop asking Sebastian to tell him a story.
But these book was too colourful and the cover was bright, Ciel really want to know the story, so he pulled the colourful book Sebastian was translating.
" ohh Ciel " Sebastian said annoyed
" I will read this story for you " Ciel said with a shyly smile, he knows this was bad to do but he was too boring.
Sebastian sighed " Ciel be a good boy and give me this book " Sebastian said firmly but still gently.
Ciel put the book against his chest " no please I wanna read it for you " He frowned a little and gave Sebastian the a big puppy eyes.
Sebastian rolled his eyes " fine" Ciel was too cute to say no for him.
" thank you " and smiled the biggest smile he has.
Ciel went and sat beside Sebastian, he opened the first page.
There was a coloured picture in the top of the page and the the writing was at the bottom.
Ciel depended on the picture to understand the story, so he could tell it for the man.
The first page holds an image of a little boy with his dog and they are heading to a house.
" so, once upon a time there was a boy who named mmm " Ciel found himself has no idea of what to named the boy. " ohh wait they didn't mention his name " Ciel said to don't look stupid and then Sebastian will stop him.
Sebastian smiled, this was really cute.
" okay there was a boy with his dog, they are going to their home " Ciel looked at Sebastian to make sure if he listen to him or if he get bored and will stop him.
" and then? " Sebastian smiled at Ciel.
"okay let's turn to the next page" Ciel turned to the next one. The next picture holds a the boy and his dog waving to their friend who is waving to them as well.
" hmm so their friend came to visit them and they waving for him as he waved"
" and? "
Ciel turned to the next page. The next page holds a picture of a woman comes from the house with a small cupcakes to give them for the two boys
" the mummy came from the house with yummy cupcakes to give them for the boys "
Ciel turned to the next page which holds a picture of the boys eating the cupcakes happily.
" the boys eating the cupcakes and thanking the mummy, the end " Ciel said and closed the book
Sebastian clapped " wooow Ciel that was amazing "
Ciel smiled happily.
" this story is in French and you translate it into English immediately ".
Ciel shocked a little and then smiled " yes I know French language "
" I see, I am sure you will gonna be a great translator in the future "
Ciel giggled shyly " yes I will be like you "
Sebastian smiled at how Ciel already start to mimic him, but he scared, from now he must to be carefully about how to act.
" okay now give me this story, so I could translate it " Sebastian said gently
Ciel handed the story to Sebastian
" thank you Ciel "
" I am sure I would finish this quickly 'coz you already translate it to me "
Sebastian said praising the child.
" and then we could go and play "
" hmm okay "
After half an hour Ciel get impatient and bored again.
" Sebastian you didn't done yet? " Ciel asked in boring tone.
" not yet Ciel "
" hmph, Sebastian please take a break and let's play " Ciel begged.
Sebastian sighed and put the pen aside
" so what do you want to play? "
" hide and seek " Ciel said with excited and big smile.
" hide and seek? ".. ' why not I could make him hiding and so I will get peace and quiet to finish this ' sebastian thought.
" yesss hide and seek " Ciel shouting with excited.
" hmm okay, you hide and I will try to find you "
" okay close your eyes and count "
" but before that, there is a rules "
" a rules? "
" you can hide in anywhere but not in the living room, okay? "
" okay, now close your eyes " Ciel said happily.
Sebastian put his hands on his eyes and start to count. Ciel went to the bedroom and hiding inside the wardrobe.
When Sebastian felt Ciel has gone he opened his eyes and back to translate while counting.
10 minutes passed and Ciel started to feel hot in the wardrobe, so he got out to see if the man still seeking for him or not.
Ciel went to the living room to find Sebastian still as he left him before.
" Sebastian " He yelled.
" ohh Ciel, here you are "
" you weren't seeking for me,were you?" Ciel pouted.
" no Ciel I was, I was seeing if you are under the table " He smiled
" But Sebastian the rule? You said I can hide in anywhere but not in the living room " Ciel said angrily
" ohhhh yes I forgot, sorry "
" okay again "
" fine "
" close your eyes and count "
Sebastian did as he told.
This time Ciel went to hide in the kitchen he hiding inside a cupboard.
Sebastian was almost done, so he thought to finish this and then seeking for the boy.
" where are you Ciel? " Sebastian said to make the child thinks he is seeking for him, while he is not.
" I really can't find you in anywhere "
Ciel put his hands on his mouth to avoid his giggle from escaping.
" ohhh finally I am done " Sebastian said in low voice so Ciel won't hear him
" now let's go and find that brat "
Sebastian went to the bedroom room and opened the wardrobe but found nothing, he went and saw under the bed but also there was no sign of the boy, Sebastian sighed and went to see behind the door but also Ciel wasn't there " this will take some time "
Sebastian went to the other room and searching for Ciel but he didn't find him.
" Ciel where are you? Come out "
Ciel giggled a little, and Sebastian heard him.
" so you are.. " Sebastian went to the kitchen and opened all the low cupboards but Ciel wasn't in anyone of them, Sebastian sighed, he was sure he heard Ciel sound from the kitchen. Ciel couldn't help himself and laughed loud.
Sebastian raised his head toward the sound source, he opened the upper cupboard to find Ciel there.
" Ciel how you got in there? "
Ciel only laughed. Sebastian saw beside him to find a chair.
" ohhh Ciel this dangerous, you might fall down and break some bones"
Sebastian pulled Ciel out the cupboard and placed him on the ground.
" you couldn't find me " Ciel said proudly
" hmm yes I couldn't "
" so I am the winner " Ciel said with a big smile appeared on his face.
" yes you are the winner Ciel "
" okay let's play another game "
" okay, but this time I will be the one who choose the game "
" hmm okay " Ciel said hesitantly.
" okay the game is who sleep first "
" who sleep first? I haven't heard about it before "
" okay it is an easy game, the one who get in bed first and sleep first is the winner, I will count till three and then we start"
" okay " Ciel said.
" one... Two... THREE "
They two ran to the bathroom, Sebastian make Ciel entered the bathroom first deliberately . When Ciel done Sebastian told him to brush his teeth, Ciel did as he asked and Sebastian went to bathroom.
When they finally done and it was the time to change into their nightwear, Sebastian did that quickly and easy while Ciel not.
" ohh it seems somebody has a problem in there " Sebastian teased Ciel.
Ciel didn't say anything but Whined.
" okay I will help you because it is your first time playing this game " Sebastian chuckled.
Sebastian helped Ciel to get in his nightwear.
Ciel went quickly to his bed and covered himself with the blanket, Sebastian did that too.
" Sebastian how could we know who is the winner? "
" we will know that at morning "
" I feel I will be the winner "
" I will allow that to happen "
After 15 minutes Ciel filled asleep and when Sebastian felt that he carefully get out from his bed and went out from the room "you're the winner Ciel" He said with low voice and then closed the door behind him gently.
