        After crying for a little longer, Sebastian carried me back to the marble patio and began to water some more plants and small flowers.

        "What time is it?" I looked up from the little plant I was watering.

        Sebastian quickly pulled out his pocket watch, "Almost noon, young master will need his afternoon tea." He looked over his shoulder towards me.

        "Would you like some tea as well? I could set up a table for two out here in the patio." Sebastian smirked.

        "That sound charming, and this weather is perfect." I smiled and set down the little watering can.

        "Alright, you stay here as I get Ciel's tea and I will set up the table for both of us." Sebastian said as he wiped off his hands and put his gloves back on.

        'Sebastian has never set up a date with me before except the one time when he had me playing that ridiculous game with him.'

        I shook my head and smiled.

        Sebastian came out of the manor carrying a small table. Behind him, Finny, Bard, Mey-Rin and Tanaka tagged along. Mey-Rin carried a table cloth, silver wear and plates. Finny was carrying two chairs. Bardroy was pushing the tea cart.

        Tanaka was just walking along, carrying his normal tea in a daze.

        "Oh jeeze! I could help!" I began to carefully walk over to them.

        "No, you should just stay put." Sebastian said as he placed the table down.

        I pouted a little and said, "Well I think you should give Mey-Rin, Finny, Bard and Tanaka some cake or something for helping you."

        Sebastian looked over to me and smiled.

        "I already have that taken care of." Sebastian chuckled and walked over to me.

        The other servants got everything set as Sebastian wrapped an arm around my waist to help me walk over to the little round table.

        Finny pulled out my chair for me and gently pushed it in towards the table. 

        After Sebastian took his seat, everything was set up.  The tea, cake, napkins, plates, silver wear and even a small vase full of roses.

        "We hope you have a lovely date!" The servants chimed and bowed a little.

        Tanaka laughed a little, Bardroy grinned with his cigarette in his mouth, Finny had such a cute looking face as he dreamily clapped his hands together along with Mey-Rin.

        "Now, leave us be and enjoy your cake." Sebastian eyed them.

        "Yes sir!" They said in unison and ran off to get their cake.

        Finny was carrying Tanaka over his shoulder as he ran off with the others.

        "They never slow down, do they?" I smiled and laughed.

        "Quite the handful. I think they were worse before you arrived." Sebastian looked at me as he took a bite of cake.

        The cake was strawberry shortcake with fresh strawberries that matched the color of Sebastian's eyes.

        "I love strawberry shortcake." I smiled and took a lady-like bite of cake.

        "I know, that's why I made it. I had actually planned this little date for us. After seeing how happy you had been when Ronald went on dates with you, I wanted to see if you would be just as happy with me." Sebastian stirred some sugar into his tea.

        "I can now see that you seem to glow around me." Sebastian smiled.

        I held a hand up to my face and began to touch my skin frantically and try to see if I was truly glowing.

        My fork was still in my mouth as I continued to pat myself.

        Sebastian let out a laugh.

        I stopped, embarrassed and looked up at him with a confused expression and said with my fork still in my mouth, "Mwhat?"

        Sebastian shook his head, still smiling.  I took my fork out of my mouth.

        "What?" I still looked at him, now smiling as well.

        "That's not what I meant." Sebastian chuckled and took a sip of tea.

        "Hmph." I crossed my arms and pouted a little.

        "What now?" Sebastian smirked.

        "You were laughing about how daft I looked a moment ago. Weren't you?" I turned my head to the left and looked with my eyes over at him.

        "Maybe I was." Sebastian smirked. 

        "Fine." I laughed and sat normally as I sipped on some tea.

        After a few minutes, I ran my finger through some whipped-cream left on my plate.

        "You have something right here." I looked at Sebastian and pointed to my cheek.

        Sebastian's eyes looked a little shocked, as he picked up his napkin and wiped his face a little.

        "Did I get it?" Sebastian looked at me with that surprised look.

        I shook my head, "Hold on."

        I still had the whip cream on my finger as I got up and carefully walked over to him.

        "Where?" Sebastian looked a little angry an embarrassed.

        "Right....HERE!" I yelled and laughed as I wiped the whip cream across his nose.

        Sebastian grabbed me and began to tickle me.

        "Hey! No fair!" I yelled and began to kick and nudge him a little between fits of laughter.

        "No fair? I should be the victim!" Sebastian laughed and still tickled me.

        Sebastian stopped, looked into my eyes and kissed me. I kissed his strawberry tasting lips back.

        "Are you finished?" Sebastian asked me and looked over to my side of the table.

        I nodded and still laughed a little. Sebastian got some whip-cream off of his plate and put it on my nose.

        "Hey!" I yelled at him and laughed.

        "This is payback!" Sebastian chuckled and began to tickle me again.

        'I have to say, Sebastian is quite the charmer. I can't help but feel a connection between us.'
