"Ciel?"

Ciel rolled his eyes and threw his head back.

"Who else would it be?"

"I thought…I thought I would never see you again."

Ciel raised an eyebrow at man's reaction to seeing him again. Isn't that why Ciel never met him until now? Sebastian now had a growing smile on his face. It was the first time in a long time that he actually wanted to and could smile. Ciel was growing impatient, as he has been standing in front of Sebastian's door for the past ten minutes.

"Can you stop doting on me and let me inside the house?"

Sebastian was snapped out of his own thoughts and nodded.

"Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Come in!"

He moved out of the child's way and watched as his son, whom has been missing since he was five months walk into his house and take a seat on his couch. Sebastian walked over to the kid. He just stared at it with a small smile on his face; it has been sometime since he was ever this happy but his facial expression alone couldn't fully show Ciel how much he loves and missed him. Ciel looked up at him with those same emotionless eyes and spat, "What are you gawking at?"

Sebastian noticed his tone and his smile slowly disappeared as he heard the underlying anger in his son's tone. He shrugged and responded, "I'm sorry. It's just…It's been so long since I've seen you."

"Just how long has it been?"

Sebastian thought for a minute.

"You've been gone since you were five months and you're thirteen now."

Ciel's eyes widened.

"How do you know how old I am?"

Sebastian gave a short and tiny chuckle.

"Why wouldn't know, Ciel? I've been keeping track since the day you were taken."

Ciel found this odd. If this man hated him as much as Claude said he did, then he most certainly wouldn't be keeping track of his birthday when he wasn't around. And he did it for so long too. There was more silence and Sebastian was still staring at his long lost son. Then it clicked in his head.

"Are you hungry? You must be. The trip here must've been long for you."

"Yes, I am feeling rather peckish."

Sebastian nodded and clasped his hands together.

"Well? What is that you would like? The last time I fed you, you were just starting on baby food."

Ciel rolled his eyes. Was he going to be doing this often? Going back to his nostalgia of when Ciel was nothing but a drooling infant? After musing it over in his head, his mind and his stomach agreed on fish and chips.

"I want some fish and chips."

"Oh, well I don't have any fish. "

Ciel rolled his eyes.

"Well then what do you have?"

Sebastian thought. He doesn't eat anymore because he's a demon and doesn't need human substance and will only eat food when he is feeling ravenous. He also saw no reason to buy food since it would go to waste and he also never envisioned seeing Ciel again.

"I could go out to the shop and buy ingredients for Cottage pie. Would you like that?"

Ciel shrugged.

"I never had Cottage pie before."

Sebastian smirked.

"Really? Well, when you taste the way I cook it, you will start to ask for it every day."

"I doubt it but we shall see."

Sebastian threw on his coat and walked out of his home, leaving the thirteen-year-old home by himself. Something that Claude never did.

"What an irresponsible parent. Leaving the child he lost for so many years home again."

Ciel huffed and sank back into the couch as he stared at the wall. When he goes back, if he goes back to his father, he better have one hell of a reward coming to him.

Sebastian came back a few minutes later with all of the ingredients for Ciel's dinner. He prepared everything and left the food cooking for a while when he saw Ciel eyeing his violin that was resting in the corner of his living room. Sebastian smiled.

"Do you like violin, Ciel?"

Ciel looked up at him.

"Pardon?"

"Well you're eyeing my violin so I assumed that you play."

Ciel answered the question.

"I do like the violin, though father never got me a violin of my own."

Sebastian got an idea.

"Well I can give you mine, until you get one on your own; I haven't had the time to play it."

'Or the heart to play.' Sebastian thought to himself.

Ciel quickly protested.

"No thank you, I would prefer that you don't lend me your violin. I can manage without one for the time being."

Sebastian looked down and then back at Ciel.

"Alright, I guess that's fair."

"Don't you have my dinner to be attending to?"

Sebastian furrowed his eyebrows again at the blue-haired boy and then gave a curt nod as he turned around to finish his dinner. Ciel took his seat at the table and patiently waited for his meal. Even though he hated Sebastian, he still had manners. Claude taught him that.

"This better be good…"

Just as he finished muttering, Sebastian came out of the kitchen with his food, Cottage pie, otherwise known as Shepherd's Pie. It smelt very good to Ciel but, smell and taste were two different things. He took his fork and sliced a piece as he slid it into his mouth. He was actually surprised, it was moist and succulent and very flavorful.

"Do you like it?" Sebastian asked.

Ciel couldn't lie to him, this was really good.

"You know how to cook, Sebastian."

Sebastian cringed slightly at Ciel calling him by his actual name. It felt wrong. He pushed it to the back of his head and watched as Ciel finished the rest of his dinner with no more interruptions. Not wanting to feel anymore awkwardness, Sebastian said, "I'll go ahead and prepare a bath for you."

"I only have this outfit."

"You wouldn't mind wearing one of my shirts, would you?"

Ciel grimaced. He didn't want to but he had no choice.

"No, I don't."

Sebastian walked out of the dining room and into his room as he got a plain black t-shirt for his son and then went into the bathroom to run the bath for him.

Ciel didn't want Sebastian to bathe him, he must not feel comfortable around him yet, which Sebastian understood, even though it hurts him. The demon put the child to bed not too long after his bath. He didn't even let Sebastian say goodnight to him. So the demon waited until he was sleeping to go in his room and tuck the child in and give him a kiss on the forehead, careful not to wake the child. He then whispered in his ear, "Good night…Ciel…"

He left the room to prepare for the morning time.

I'm sorry if this seems a little anti-climatic. I promise that the next chapter will be better!
