Ciel whimpered as he sat on his owner's lap. The demon lord was holding a book that is for young children, the page turned to a short story to teach Ciel to speak in a full sentence.
"It's alright, sweetie. You can do it." Sebastian reassured as he petted Ciel's hair with one hand, the other was holding the book.
"N...no..."
"No? Well then, how can you grow to be a big, mighty cat?"
Ciel just shook his head and sniffed as he wiped his eyes with his sleeves. Sebastian sighed softly. "How about this; if you read this one sentence, I will get you something special."
As soon as Sebastian finished talking, Ciel's ears perked up. Sebastian grinned. "Alright, now read this."
"U-ummm... S-sh... she... s-s...sells... Ummm..."
Sebastian smiled softly as he rested his chin on top of his pet's head. "Sea."
"S-sea... Seash..."
"Seashells."
"S-sea...shells...o-on...the...sea...sea...
"Shore."
"S-seashore..."
"Very good, kitten! Now, try and say the phrase without my help."
Ciel gulped and sniffled. "S-she sells s-s-seashells o-on the s-seashore." The pet looked up at his master with glassy eyes to tell if he had done a good job. Sebastian smiled and kissed his pets forehead.
"You have done an excellent job. Now, how about the thing I promised?"
The demon lord chuckled as his pet inched closer to him as they both walked down the sidewalk. Demons stopped to stare at them for a while then move on with their business, knowing that the noble doesn't want anyone staring at him. Though, they took another glance, but this time, it was centered on the blue haired cat boy holding the well-known demon lord's hand.
'He has a new pet...?' That thought was on the mind on every demon who saw the pair.
Though Sebastian didn't mind of how they thought of him. Just as long as they keep their hands of his precious Ciel. 'This kitten... this boy... has changed me...' The nobleman thought as he glanced down at his half frightened, half excited pet.
Finally, after walking a few minutes, the tall man and his pet stopped in front of a... toy store?
"Nya... Master?"
"Yes, kitten?"
Ciel looked up at his master, then at the shop, then back at those red eyes. The neko tilted his head to the side, making his master's eyes widen. 'Damn, must he be so adorable to actually wrap me around his little fingers!?'
Sebastian smiled at his pet and led him inside. They were greeted by the soft ringing of the door bell and a startled shop owner. "My lord! What brings you here?"
The man gave the shop owner a kind smile. "I am simply looking for a toy for my pet, so don't mind us."
At the mention of 'toy', Ciel's ears perked up. The demon noticed this and nodded his head towards his pet. With a grin, Ciel let go of his master's hand and ran of to find a toy, his owner close behind him.
He saw a lot of toys, but none of them caught the cat boy's attention. But after walking into the stuffed animal isle, his sparkling blue eyes caught the sight of a stuffed bunny wearing an eyepatch. The master watched in amuse as his pet approached the toy, picked it up, and sniffed it. The pet turned towards his master and held up the bunny.
"You want this one?"
Ciel nodded eagerly and hugged the toy tight to his chest. The bunny was bigger than the boy's head, making the sight even more adorable. The shop owner did, too. For she made a small 'awww' from the counter where she could see them.
"We'll take this one."
Sebastian, in all of his immortal life, never felt so much joy just by watching a demon pet play with his new toy. He smiled softly when Ciel rubbed his cheeks against the bunny's forehead. The cat boy was enjoying his bunny on a space near the window sill, sitting against a few pillows.
Ciel's eyes lit up as he eyed his master. He got up and trotted to his master, whereas the lord took his cue on sitting Ciel on his lap. The boy giggled and shoved the bunny on his master's face.
Sebastian rolled his eyes and petted the bunny's head, earning an adorable grin from the neko who proceeded to cuddle with the bunny. Sebastian sighed as he leaned back on his comfy office chair.
The paperwork can wait.
