Heyyy! I wanted to write this so you didn't think I was dead...
Basically, in this chapter, Sebastian and Ciel just sit around. That's it. Very interesting. Yeah, I'll have a better chapter for next time but I have to got bed. School tomorrow. Ugh, finals.

"Daddy?" Ciel asked. Sebastian turned his head to see the little four year old.
Sebastian sat in the living room and was surprised to see the child. "You need to be in bed," Sebastian stated. He reached out his hand and ruffled his blue hair. Ciel gripped his teddy bear tighter and shook his head vigorously. He was wearing black footsie pajamas that went down to his wrists and ankles. There was a small blush in his chubby cheeks and forehead.
"I'm no' tired." Ciel ducked away from Sebastian's hand and plopped down onto the ground. He tucked his legs under his bottom and placed his teddy bear in his lap. Ciel was proving himself to be a smart child. Though he was constantly sick with a fever or a cough: he always seemed to amaze those around him. He knew how to through child locks and could do simple addition and subtraction.
"Fine," Sebastian muttered. He promptly folded his arms across his chest and slumped his back against the couch. Ciel shot his head up and stared at his guardian. Normally, he would give up resistance and it would end up in Ciel being re-tucked back in bed. Ciel simply shrugged and started to play with his bear.
A large flash of lightning and thunder crackled behind the window. Ciel's body tensed and he looked up at the window. The drapes were pulled back and a strip of white cloth was tied around each. Rain began to pour and pound heavily on the Earth. Ciel turned his attention to Sebastian with wide eyes.
"Loud," he commented. He looked back at the window and tilted his head. Sebastian sat up and scooped the child into his arms. Ciel let go of his bear and it laid lifeless on the ground.
"You're mature," Sebastian observed. "Other kids you're age would freak out about thunder." Ciel grinned and rested his head on his shoulder. He reached his arms up and wrapped them around his neck.
"Losers." Ciel tried to blow his bangs out of his eyes, failing miserably. Sebastian smirked and brushed the hair out of his face for him.
"Where do you learn you're vocabulary?" Sebastian inquired. "'Loser' is not a word a four year old should know." Sebastian looked into Ciel's eyes and the child gave a simple shrug.
"Miss F and Missy C talk a lot and I listen," Ciel stated. He began to fuss with the sleeves of his pajamas, avoiding Sebastian's eye contact. Sebastian sighed and looked over to the window. Beads of water ran down the glass and fog began to collect at the bottom and around the edges. The trees outside were swaying with the direction of the wind. Their leaves being plucked off and flying off in the gust.
"I don't think they would say that in front of kids." Sebastian diverted his attention back to Ciel as he raised his eyebrows. "I don't think you're telling the truth." Ciel's head immediately shot away as the child fixed his stare on the television screen. Sebastian tightened his grip on the boy and pulled him further into his chest. He brushed the bottom of his chin on his head; he tried to get eye contact with him but Ciel only turned his attention elsewhere.
"Nothin'." Ciel stated. Sebastian let out a soft chuckle and began to run his fingers through his blue hair. Ciel continued to avoid his stare and Sebastian continued to run his fingers through his hair. The two sat there for Ciel seemed to be hours; while in reality it was a half hour. "Does it matter?" Ciel asked. He yanked Sebastian's fingers out of his hair and looked at his guardian.
The small child started to study Sebastian's eyes. A soft amber was colored around his pupils with a yellow flame licking around the sides. No matter of his expression, there was a serious look lingering in his eyes. He could be calm, but yet, he could look as if he beat you up in a few swift movements. Add the fact of his ebony hair that framed his face. It was relatively short but his bangs were brushed off to his right side and reached past his chin. His entire body was muscular yet slim and he was more athletic than all of the sport players in the country combined. He didn't go off jogging or even lift weights.
Ciel had observed this one night when they were walked around down town. The sun had recently gone down and the two had just gotten dinner. They walked by an alley and a group of young adults sprung out of nowhere. They all had crowbars in their hands and menacing faces. Ciel had clung to Sebastian's leg and began to cry silently. The men demanded money so the two wouldn't get hurt.
It seemed to happen in a blink of an eye. Sebastian peeled Ciel off of his legs and suckered punched the leader. Blood began to dribble down from his nose and he cursed aloud. The rest of his gang lunged at him and Sebastian took them all out in a matter of seconds.
Ciel had been on the sidelines and when he looked up at his guardian: he saw Sebastian untouched while the rest of the men were bloody and broken. Sebastian walked swiftly over to Ciel and scooped the small child into his arms. Ciel obliged and clung tightly to his throat.
"No not really," Sebastian mused. A smile flickered over his lips as he stared at the window. "I'm just curious really." Ciel followed his eye movement and was too staring out the window.
Ciel loved his guardian. He would be all alone without him. Since he was still a small child though; and the world still held many unrevealed secrets. He would eventually find them out all and conquer the ones that stood in his way. But for now, he would leave that to Sebastian. That what was a parent was for, right?
