Sebastian had an extra spring in his step ever since Ciel had given him permission to keep the chibi. She followed Sebastian everywhere, staying silent in his breast pocket when Ciel was around.
Although she always pouted. She didn't like it in there, she couldn't see Sebastian.
One morning, Sebastian was in the kitchen making Ciel's breakfast, as the chibi sat on the counter. "Here you are, my lady." Sebastian smiled happily at the chibi, handing her a small biscuit. The chibi chirped and began to nibble it hungrily. While breakfast cooked, the Phantomhive butler began to mix the chocolate cake that would serve as Ciel's desert that evening.
Soon she was finished with her biscuit and covered in crumbs. She could smell it, that lovely scent of chocolate. The little chibi's eyes widened at the large bowl of cake mix across the counter.
Sebastian glanced over at her and noticed.
She was technically a part of Ciel, of course she was attracted to the smell of chocolate.
"No, no." Sebastian said, shaking his finger at his little lady. "That's not for you, my dear." He told her gently, but firmly, going over to get Ciel's breakfast out of the oven.
The little chibi heard him but she couldn't help herself. She slowly crept up to the bowl, her little pink dress and hat bouncing along with her as she made her way across the counter. She stood on the edge of the bowl as Sebastian reached into the oven. She meant to scoop up just a taste with her arm but she lost her balance….. and toppled into the bowl with a loud chirp of terror as Sebastian closed the oven door.
He thought he heard something and turned around.
Hm.
Everything seemed in place.
Sebastian noticed his little lady was nowhere in sight and he looked for her, but found no trace. Maybe she got tired of watching him cook and went back to his room? She couldn't have gotten far.
Oh well.
He had to get this cake baked to stay on schedule.
He would find her in a moment.
He just needed to mix this first.
He picked up the hand mixer, turned it on, blades spinning inches from the top of the cake mix before the chibi managed to swim to the surface, weighed down by dress and cake as she shrieked desperately, "BAS-TIAN!"
"MY LADY!" Sebastian cried in surprise, ripping the mixer away and plucking her out of the bowl, holding her by the neck of her dress.
The little chibi had quite a scare and she huffed in fright and irritation, dripping in chocolate, her dress a mess, her hat rumpled.
Little, pitiful whimpers escaped her lips and they melted Sebastian's heart.
"My lady, that is what happens when you are greedy." Sebastian said, his eyes soft as he chastised her.
"Bas-tian…." the chibi pouted up at him, tears welling up into her large sapphire eyes.
"Now I have to clean you up and bake this cake." Sebastian sighed.
The chibi chirped in a remorseful response. Sebastian put her to his mouth and in one lick had her cleaned and pristine again.
He sat the chibi, who was a little dazed, on the counter.
This time she did not move from her spot.
That evening, after Ciel had dinner and laid sleeping in his bed, Sebastian walked to his room with a piece of the cake. He smirked to himself.
His lady would love this.
He really shouldn't spoil her so.
The chibi squeaked with joy as he came in and launched herself onto it, greedily gobbling it down as fast as she could.
Sebastian chuckled as he watched her.
All that chocolate made her sleepy.
She rubbed her sapphire eyes with a little, black-gloved sack arm and toddled up onto Sebastian's pillow. He laid down on the pillow beside her and she curled up, reaching and pulling his raven hair over herself as a blanket. It didn't take more than a minute and she fell fast asleep, her tiny chest rising and falling, her small mouth open in an "o" shape.
This was part of their nightly routine and it had become one of Sebastian's favorite parts of the day.
He loved watching her sleep.
She was so cute, so fragile and little.
Sebastian purred and stroked her tiny strands of bluenette hair as he whispered, "Goodnight, my lady~."
