Ciel, Sebastian and I had arrived at the manor and I am currently in my room deciding which attire would be appropriate. I feel like a little girl who becomes flustered and giddy to go on a date with a boy. 

I meet Sebastian for tea at the stroke of twelve.

I pick up a red dress decorated with little roses and a lace trim. No. This is not it. It will look as if I am trying too hard. I pick up a grey skirt and a blue shirt.
This also will not do. I can already hear him mocking me in my head about how "comfortable" I look.
I then spot a simple pink dress.
Yes. This is the one.

I walk into the kitchen and see Sebastian with a tray of tea and little cakes

"My my, exactly 12 o clock how punctual of you Miss Silverado."

"Well, I try" I say snatching a strawberry off of one of the little cakes.

"Please follow me this way"

Sebastian leads me to the garden.
It looked beautiful. The moonlight illuminated the flowers and it was almost as if the garden was glowing. There were fireflies lighting up the path as we walked. It was magical

"I have never been here in the night. The garden looks beautiful."

"Indeed, yet not as beautiful as you."

"You never will stop trying to seduce me will you?"
Sebastian comes up close to my face and whispers in my ear

"Is it working?"

Heat rises to my face
I open my mouth to say something when
Sebastian suddenly brushes my hair back and gently places a flower behind my ear.

"Who knew demons were capable of romance?" I say

Sebastian moves the chair for me to sit and I take a seat down at the little table.

I smile. With Sebastian, I always feel happy and excited. My stomach churns at the thought of my feelings towards Sebastian as I may in fact be treading dangerous waters.

I take a look at the assortment of different flavours of the miniature cakes. There was chocolate, banana foster, ginger spice, coffee and many more. My eyes land on the miniature vanilla cake with strawberries on top.

I place the cake in my plate and begin cutting it up.
"Strawberry shortcake is my favourite."
He smiles looking at me while I eat

Sebastian's POV
"I will make sure to remember that."

We sit in silence as I watch her eat

"This is odd."

"What?"

Was it the cake?

"You sitting here and watching me eat. Tell me, are you not able to eat human food?"

"Yes, Although it holds no nutritional value or particular taste to a demon such as myself."

"That is very unfortunate. You are missing out on many delicious things. I would hate to live a life without human food. Do souls come in different flavours like human food does?"
