Black Butler: Through the Eyes of a Cat
A/N: Yeah, just warning now. I know Seb seems a bit OOC in this story, but that's because he's around a cat. You all know how much Seb loves cats... just remember the scene with the mother cat and the kittens!
Chapter 2
-
Three days had passed since I arrived at the Phantomhive manor. It was the perfect life, living in the comforts of a wealthy noble'man's home. Sebastian allowed me to sleep in his bed, and I was fed the same quality food as the humans were, and Ciel had even begun to warm up to me. It was definitely much better than living on the streets, I'll tell you that.
I was sleeping soundly on the soft bed of the kind man who had brought me home, curled up against the soft pillows. Suddenly, though, I could hear the door open, and in walked Sebastian. He walked up to me, stroking my head, and I opened my eyes and looked up at him with a soft mew.
"Time for breakfast," the man stated with a grin. He then gently picked me up, holding me against his chest and petting me as we headed to the dining room, where the servants ate. While Ciel typically ate his meals in his room, we ate together.
Sebastian then set me down on a set the he had gotten specifically for me. It was a high, cushioned chair, which was high enough so that I would be able to reach the table without standing on top of it.
The other servants were already seated, with Bard still looking at me like I had two heads. Sebastian then straightened, grabbing plates of food and serving it to each of us, and including a little saucer of cream for me.
On this day, we had a nice breakfast of waffles, with bits of fish and other assorted meats, including bacon, for me. We began eating as soon as it was served, and, me being a former street cat, my food was gone within five minutes. As a stray, you had to eat fast or risk getting your food snatched up by another cat.
Soon, everyone had finished, and I jumped down from my seat and walked over to Sebastian, who was just standing there. I never did see him eat, which I found to be strange, but I never bothered to think on it.
Sebastian reached down and picked me up, carrying me off to a couch and sitting down, setting me in his lap. He had a habit of playing with my paws, but I didn't mind much.
"You're such a cute little cat," Sebastian cooed, playing with my paws as he usually did.
"Sebastian, when will you realize that I have the same intellect as a human, and therefore really shouldn't be treated like a cat?" I huffed in a humored fashion. "It feels weird to be cooed at and snuggled."
Sebastian just rolled his eyes, continuing to poke and prod at my paws.
"While that is true, I cannot quite contain myself when it comes to cats. There is just something about the adorable little creatures that makes me go head over heels for them," he stated. "You're just too adorable to resist."
I gave a bored yawn, standing up and stretching. "I'm gonna go try and make Ciel not hate me," I said with a light chuckle. "Maybe he'll become a cat lover one day."
I jumped off of the couch, making my way up to the room where Ciel constantly stayed. I poked my head in, and noticed Ciel leaned back in his chair, sleeping. Awwww... the kid fell asleep. Now time to wake him up! I thought, walking into the room and trotting right over to Ciel.
I then leaped up into his lap, and gently pawed at his face. His face twitched, and suddenly his eyes opened. He stared at me in light confusion, before actually registering what was going on.
"...Why are you in my lap?" the boy huffed, staring blankly at me. I just gave a little feline smirk, laying myself down and getting comfortable.
"Your lap is comfy," I stated with a flick of my ear. Ciel's eye twitched.
"..."
"Awww, speechless, are you?" I teased, flicking my tail. "Don't worry, I don't scratch."
Ciel just scowled at me, grabbing me by the scruff of my neck and holding me up to his face, sitting up straight.
"Hasn't Sebastian told you that I don't like cats?" he huffed. "Especially when they wake me up."
"Which is precisely why I came in here," I stated with a smirk. "To show you that cats aren't all bad, so you won't hate me."
Ciel just glared at me in annoyance and set me down. "Go back to snuggling Sebastian. At least he likes you," he stated with a disdainful look at me. That's it. I would have to reduce myself to feline cuteness.
I gave an innocent little smile, once again jumping into Ciel's lap. I then proceeded to rub my cheek against his face and chest, purring. He turned red, eyes going wide with surprise.
I continued showing feline affection, rubbing myself against the boy and purring my head off, even adding in little mews here and there. Ciel finally gave a sigh and gave in, reaching hand down to pet me.
"I guess you are kinda cute..." he huffed. "But you'd better not make this a habit."
I gave a triumphant smirk, snuggling myself into Ciel's lap as he ran his hand along my soft fur. I eventually fell asleep in his lap.
I was later woken up by Sebastian entering Ciel's room, and I looked up to see Sebastian staring at me and Ciel in confusion.
"...Young master, I thought you didn't like her?" he said with a baffled expression. "You hate cats."
Ciel merely gave a light smirk, running his hand through my fur.
"That is true, Sebastian. However, while most cats are unpleasant, this one is alright," he stated plainly. "I quite enjoy her company."
Sebastian then gave a light boy and exited the room, leaving me and Ciel alone.
Sigh. Yeah, I know, it's short and pretty uneventful. xD I have writer's block and I can't think of any ideas.. Anyway, if you liked it, please review! Reviewing lets me know what you think of it, and gives me actual motivation to write. ^^
You're also free to give plot ideas. :3
