*Disclaimer- Same as always… I don't own Kuroshitsuji….
Thanks for the reviews!... And that is all… :D You know, that's all except for the fact that the long-awaited Sebastian has arrived to the story… since some of you fans seem to love him so much… as do I…
Xavier POV
Pretty, pretty purple flowers…. Pretty, pretty beautiful…I hum quietly to myself as I eye the flower beds me and my mommy pass by. I was told that we were going to see 'someone'… my daddy called him less-then-tolerable, while my mommy called him a devious delight sometimes. I had no idea what they were talking about, though judging by the faces they made when this person was brought up, they both felt very differently about him. I wondered what he was like briefly, before looking back at the flowers.
"Gwrell, those fwlowers are pwetty…."
"Those are violets. A quite depressing color…." Grell goes back to humming as I stare at them. My mommy seemed to be very opinionated. I called Grell my mommy… but I wasn't sure how Grell felt about it. I called William daddy occasionally… and though he corrected me a lot, he never got really upset over it. I wondered if Grell would be mad. Then again, Grell didn't seem to always get upset… except for that time I messed with that make-up kit. Suddenly, Grell begins skipping cheerfully.
"Weee're here!" He carries me through a gate, and heads to a large mansion. I cling to the red folds of her jacket as we head to it. I watch as the front door opens, and someone comes out to meet us. All I can think of is the blackness… black is all he wore, besides the white gloves, the white gloves, . His skin was pale, the hair deep and dark… what was it called? Raven-black? I watch the man in curiosity. As he comes nearer, he quickly talks with a flawless voice, along with an accent.
"So, this is the hybrid I presume?" He watches me, and I stare at him questioningly back.
"Oh, yes, this is our little darling Xavier!" Grell smiles and bounces me, and I continue to stare at the man.
"Ours? Glad to see you and William finally admitted the unhealthy feelings for each other…." The man continues to stare, his eyes a bit dark as well. I blink.
"They aren't unhealthy…they are normal." I frown a bit at the man, and he stares before the corners of his mouth turn up slightly with amusement.
"Oh, normal, are they?" He turns back to Grell. "According to what you have said… you have only had him a while. He has grown up fast…." He looks back at me for a few moments. "Would you two like to come in? The young Master and the servants have all gone out, so we have the place to ourselves." And with that, he spins on his heel and heads to the house. Grell skips after him quickly, and I continue to hold on.
Once inside, and after Grell places me down, I take a look around. This place was large… my eye was drawn to everything, the smooth shiny floor, the long staircase…. I took a couple steps forward, looking at everything, staring intently at the designs. I can hear Grell and this man talking quickly… I can't tell if they arguing or not as well. As they continue, I approach the large stairs cautiously, my small boots lightly squeaking on the floor, when my name is called.
"Xavier, is it? Xavier T. Spears?" I turn around, the man staring at me. He smiles, actually looking friendly. "I'll take you to the other room, then me and you" he looks to Grell, "can discuss the arrangements." And with a curt nod, he once again heads off to another room. I bounce after him, moving to hold my mommy's hand.
We soon find ourselves in another room. Couches, tables, chairs, a fire place. It was cozy. The first thing I see is a board game, and I run to it, plopping down into the big seat. I grab the dice, turning them in my hand, slowly inspecting them. Grell immediately starts to say something about …. well, that I basically shouldn't be doing that, but the man interrupts with a low chuckle.
"I see you are interested in the young master's board game… it is kind of morbid for a young fellow, such as yourself." The man goes to a tray in the corner, with tea on it. "Would you like some tea?" I nod, and Grell looks like he is going to have a heart-attack.
"Oh, yes, my Sebastian-"
"I wasn't talking to you, Grell. I was asking Xavier…" Sebastian smiles slightly, and I smile back. But there is the oddest feeling behind it… I think about it as I stare at the eyes, so dark, and I can almost imagine that darkness swallowing everything up…
Grell pouts and launches into a long rant, while this 'Sebastian' brings me tea and cookies. Wondering why, I take a cookie and sip the tea… then giggle and grin. They were delicious, perfect. It felt like I had never had food like this before… I begin eating, my eyes still taking in the board game as Sebastian sits in a chair on the other side of the room with my mommy, and they begin to talk.
I ignore most of their conversation, for it doesn't catch my interest. Though I do pick up occasional words here and there, my hearing be that well, it is mostly just random talk… or at least to me it is. I polish off the food and tea I was given, and a toy ship sits in the corner. I get up and go to it, kneeling on the wooden floor to play, glancing over my shoulder at the two. If they have noticed, they haven't said anything.
"…demon….. which is why….. help….. can you…." My sharp hearing picks up things here and there, but I still haven't paid attention. The man's deep voice replies curtly, even sounding slightly amused at some points.
I go back to the toy when I hear a noise, and I turn around to see Sebastian and Grell have gotten up.
"Xavier, darling, wait here for a moment, okay? We have some business to discuss…." Grell smiles at me, and I nod a bit before turning away. Sebastian once again leaves the room, my mommy following. I play with the ship, slightly tempted to get up and follow them to hear what is so important… when I notice the tray in the corner of the room again.
"Cookies!" I get up and runs to eat to have more, even eating a pastry there, my mind forgetting about the other two's discussion.
There you go! Mwahhaa… alright…. Now to try and figure out what Grell and Sebastian are talking about that Xavier mustn't hear….
And any spelling/ grammer errors? Just let me know! :)
