ღHis Kittenღ {Sebastian Michaelis}

A few blinks from him and a few blinks from her happened before [Name] snapped awake, "Ah!" and threw her hands over his face to cover his eyes. "Don't look! Don't!"

"Well now I'm not." Sebastian smiled under her palms, his shoulders quaking in a chuckle. "It's alright; I saw nothing."

She grunted in embarrassment, her face still flushing red. Luckily her black hair was long enough from the front to cover her chest, but still... she was soon to be painted in red from overwhelming embarrassment.

"Now... Sebastian," she began dictating with a slow tone. "I'm going to run and get something to cover myself with. But don't open your eyes, got it?!"

He laughed again. "I won't."

"No peeking!"

He nodded once. "No peeking."

She glanced down, feeling something restraining her from moving. "Oh and also... please remove your hands from my waist."

Sebastian pulled back his hands, holding them up in surrender. The smile now gracing his lips indicated how amused he was by this random incident. Not a single sign of fluster was shown from him, and it only made [Name] blush even more.

"Thanks, um... M'kay, here I go. I'll count to three and then I'll run." With her hands still pressed over his eyes, she slowly began to climb off him. Her left foot pressed the carpet first before her right foot balanced her upright. She squeaked in fright when her balance almost faltered due to the buckle in her knees, but managed to stay upright.

"One, two... THREE—DON'T OPEN!" She zoomed around the couch and sprinted down the hallway. Once the door to his bedroom slammed shut, Sebastian opened his eyes, smirking, and looked over his shoulder when he heard the girl rustling through his closet.

"Hm, interesting."

The ticking clock on the wall filled the silent room as [Name] stared at Sebastian from the other side of the room. She wore another one of his dress shirts and was currently pressing the sleeves at her cheeks to cover the intact blush that threatened to become permanent.

"You know... you can sit on the sofa," Sebastian offered to break the silence, but she shook her head quickly. "No, no. I'm good, thanks."

More ticking took place as another short silence partook for a few more seconds before Sebastian cleared his throat, causing her to flinch nervously.

"So, what did you say your real name was?"

"[Name]," she answered right away with furrowed brows. Not Kuro, silly.

'Just like her?'  Sebastian tilted his head, slightly shocked. "[Name]...what? What's your last name?"

Her mouth determined to open for an answer, but she slowly closed it. Glancing away from him, she tried picking at her memory for that information, but all she could do is take her lower lip between her teeth, proving she struggled to remember.

"I only know my first name, sorry..." She frowned in disappointment, while Sebastian shook his head. "No need to be sorry, [Name]. But I'm really curious..." He trailed off to lean forward, observing the shy girl who was curled up next to the fireplace. "Do you remember how you got this way?"

"Nope," she sighed out as her fingers began to plait in her hair. "I... just remember waking up on the sidewalk as a cat that same day you found me, and—" She cut herself off, raising her head to widen her eyes at him. "I turned human that same night."

Sebastian chuckled lightly, intrigued, and rested his cheek on the back of his hand. "So it was really you. Why did you run away from me?"

She shrunk down lower as his gaze messed with her confidence. It's like the longer she'd make contact with him, the more his smile turned into a smirk. "I-I was just startled you actually woke up so I ran—and I-I got this voice in my head that told me I could transform back into a cat by saying Ver...Oh!" Her hands cupped over her mouth.
