Come play with me~(Sebastian x succubus oc)

Chapter 4. Disaster in the kitchen.

Sebastian and Mabel looked at the items laid out of the kitchen table in front of them.

"What are we making for the brat?"

"The young lord," he corrected. " will be having scones served with a platter of finger sandwiches. This will be accompanied by some tea cakes and a cup of his favourite - Earl Grey."

"But didn't he already have some tea? This is all so confusing."

" Miss Gladstone. I think you'll find it'll serve you well not to question any of the master's decisions whether it be something important or something idiotic like having two cups of tea in the morning."

"Fine," she sighed." I'll forgo questioning his weird breakfast choices but I'd just like to make another thing clear. Since we're now working together I'd prefer it if you just called me Mabel. Miss Gladstone just sounds like a bit of a mouthful and it also makes me sound so very old!"

"Very well Mabel. Then you may call me Sebastian instead of 'Mr.Michaelis'."

"Agreed. Now, can you show me what to do?"

Sebastian got the ingredients needed for scones and set them down in front of her.

"You can handle the scones and I'll handle everything else." And with that he got to work.

It had been five minutes and whilst Sebastian had finished the sandwiches and moved on to brewing the tea and preparing the tea cakes Mabel hadn't touched anything. She had just looked back from his side of the table to her own. In truth she had never actually cooked anything before - a result of never having to take on the role of a servant on before. She didn't know the first thing when it came to baking. The ingredients were laid immaculately and remained untouched. She felt as if they were mocking her.

'Come on Mabel! If Sebastian can learn how to cook then so can you. It shouldn't be that hard should it? All you really do is mix everything up! Yes it's as easy as that. There's no way to mess this up!'

With her newly found determination, the auburn haired demoness rolled up her sleeves and took the large bowl. She added all the ingredients - the flour, butter, sugar, salt, baking powder and milk- into the bowl and began to mix it with a spoon. After five minutes she stopped and realised something was not right. The dough looked... off.

'Hmmmm.....water! Water should fix it! Water usually fixes everything so it should work with this too!' She thought.

Mabel walked over to the sink and began to fill a cup of water. She took this time to glance over at her fellow servant. Sebastian looked so serene as he carefully poured the boiling water into the pot with tea leaves. Like the perfect butler.

'How handsome. If he was an incubus he would've been very well fed. No human woman would've been able to resist him.'

Suddenly, a freezing cold trickle ran down the front of her uniform skirt. Frantically looking at the sink she saw it has overflowed with water! Small streams of water gushed out of the sink like mystic waterfalls onto the kitchen floor. The demoness fumbled around with the tap desperately trying to turn it off. Eventually it stopped and she let out a sigh of relief. Slowly, she turned around to see if Sebastian had seen any parts of her water fiasco. His eyes were fixed to the oven where his finished tea cakes were now baking.

'Phew. I have to be more careful!'

She stepped back to her station and dumped all the water into the bowl. She didn't know (or care) how much water needed to be added. She mixed and mixed and noticed the water had only made it worse. Now the dough was more runny like a cake batter.

'Oh no..no no no no no! What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?...... That's it! I added more water so maybe if I add more flour it will somehow fix itself. I'm such a genius.'

She reached over to grab the heavy bag of flour with one hand. A big mistake. The flour bag toppled over and bits of flour flew everywhere. At least a little bit got into the bowl. The rest had covered Mabel and the entire worktop.

"Achoo! Uh! *cough* *cough*!"

"Mabel? What on earth happened to you?"

The woman froze. She ever so slowly turned around and looked nervously at Sebastian.

Sebastian stared at the woman before him. Covered from head to toe in white flour, the demoness stared at him with eyes that seemed alarmed. He could see her holding her breath and her delicate hands clasped above her chest. In all honesty, Sebastian thought she looked quite adorable, almost as cute as Mittens.

"M-M-Mr. Michaelis!! I-I'm so terribly sorry. I-I've never baked before a-and I-I..I didn't want to a-ask for help and-"

"Mabel! I thought you were a skilled worker. Not some child who doesn't even know how to work in the kitchen! Honestly!" He shouted with a hint of teasing in his voice.

This failed to go unnoticed by the lady, however, as she continued to believe he was reprimanding her.

"I-I'm sorry sir! I-I-I'll try n-not to do it again." She whimpered slightly, overwhelmed by the superior demon's temper.

"Mabel! I'm joking!" He exclaimed as he grasped both her hands. "As someone who's only been living as a butler for two years I've had my fair share of cooking failures. You really should've told me but I admire you for trying to be independent my dear."

"W-What?" Mabel asked, clearly shocked at Sebastian's sudden change of behaviour.

"Never mind. Let's teach you how to properly make scones. What do you say, are you up for the task Mabel?"

She paused, before smiling. "Yes, Sebastian."
