"Where are we?" He asked. I sat on the bed and gestured to the seat in front of me. I heard the door click and saw her glistening happy face.
"Aurora!" She ran and glomped me. We laughed at each other as I kissed her forehead. "I've wanted to see you for so long!" She giggled.
"I just saw you yesterday Ivy." I said, laughing and pet her head.
"It feels like it's been forever since then." She took my hand and up it to her cheek sweetly. I smiled happily. I loved this girl; I saw Sebastian smiling at us as we hugged.
"I know. I've missed you too Ivy." I said while carrying her face in my hands close to my own. She turned around to Sebastian and I saw her cheeks tinted an off pink; I chuckled.
"W-who are you?" She said shyly. Sebastian stood; Ivy moved closer to me and I held her closely to my body. Sebastian bowed slightly.
"Hello, my name is Sebastian Michaelis." He said with a smile. Ivy looked to me.
"You know him?" I nodded and hoisted her frail frame onto my lap sideways so her head could rest on my chest. She snuggled to me. "He's a demon too?" She looked at me with those childlike green eyes, she was so adorable.
"Yes." I said and Sebastian sat back down, watching Ivy carefully as she brought her face closer to mine. She grazed her lips with mine into a kiss that was so sweet that I had to kiss back. When she pulled back, she snuggled back into my body. I looked back at Sebastian who had an eyebrow up and a smirk. Did he know what I was feeling for Ivy? Probably, I mean he's been through this with Ciel. The feeling of wanting a soul so pure and innocent where you would do anything to keep her with you, even if it meant contracting with her; I wouldn't do that though and I was giving myself a hard time because I wanted her. I would never put her that kind of pain. I didn't want that for her.
"So…who exactly are you?" Ivy nuzzled in my neck but looked at Sebastian.
"I am Aurora's lover." He said simply and my cheeks heated up fast. He was so open about that and Ivy looked at me sadly.
"Is he?" She asked and I nodded silently. I stroked the back of her head like a mother comforting her child.
"Does that upset you?" She shook her head and kissed my neck; I sighed, knowing that she was at least a little upset about it. "Do not lie to me Ivy. Please tell me the truth."
"I am…just a little." I kissed her head and closed my eyes, taking in that lovely floral scent.
"I'm sorry." She protested that me and Sebastian actually made a really cute couple. I told her I loved her dearly and that I always would; that seemed to make her even happier than ever. She giggled and hugged tighter. She was so warm for a tiny human. She played with my hair and moved it behind my shoulder. She stopped and looked at me in astonishment. She saw the mark in my eye.
"You…contracted?" She asked in hushed tone. I nodded. "W-why?"
"It was payment for the people that took me in when I had nowhere else to go." I saw Sebastian grimaced massively when I said that.
"A payment?" She asked innocently.
"Remember when I told you how I became a demon?" She nodded and waited for me.
"I couldn't go back to my brother or Sebastian because I feared that they would hate me for it so I turned to someone that my brother did not like. It seemed like it was the only option at the time. The man I stayed with wanted a payment for it and I was much too grateful to refuse anything he asked from me. He wanted me to contract with his demon butler." I said; she looked away from me for the first time.
"I wish I had gotten to know you earlier." Ivy blushed. "You could've stayed here." I relaxed into a smile and kissed her cheek quickly.
"I would've liked that too." She smiled and kept her arms around my neck. Sebastian was still smiling at us. I rolled my eyes at him with a smirk. I heard a sleepily sigh escape her beautiful pink lips.
"I…love you…Aurora…" Ivy whispered to me, falling asleep. I got up, with her in my arms, and placed her in bed, wrapping her little figure in a blanket.
"I love you too Ivy." I kissed her cheek and brushed her bangs to the side. I nudged to the window at Sebastian. It was time to go. He nodded and pulled the small string that turned off the tiny lamp on her desk. We jumped out of the window and walked out of the front yard of the Mecacci estate.
