As you lot made your way to the Tea Shoppe, Sebastian suddenly came to a stop in front of a building that resembled a coffee shop.

"Sebastian, this is not a tea shoppe. This is 2i's Coffee Bar." You said, as you looked at the sign.

"Not to worry my dear, we own this place as well as many other prestigious businesses in London." Sebastian told you with the upmost confidence.

"What?" You were Astonished, to say the least.

Ciel spoke up. "Including the Funtom toy company that was established in the 1800s."

You stood there stunned, not knowing what to say. Seeing as how you were a fashion designer who's career had barely even taken off, you were amazed.

"Don't just stand there with your mouth agape like a codfish. Go in, before I freeze to death from this chill." Ciel scoffed at you in a dull, harsh, monotone.

Sebastian smirked, knowing good and well Ciel and he couldn't "freeze to death" for they are demons. And demons are immortal. Sebastian proceeded to speak. "I do believe you are over exaggerating a bit, dear younger brother. It's only autumn, and it's not that chilly. It's Only a light breeze." Ciel shot the older demon a dirty look in response.

Sebastian then turned to you and smiled a closed-eye smile as he bent down to your level. "Please forgive Ciel for his rudeness, (y/n)." He then adjusted himself to his usual upright stance. "Now, shall we go in?" You nodded in reply as Sebastian held open the door for you and Ciel to enter, not long after you entered he trailed in behind Ciel and you.

As you entered the inside of the place was breath taking. The ceiling was a cream and light brown wood work that kind of reminded you of a Starburst or Pentagram; the floor was a dark hard wood; there were lovely black, rod iron table and chair sets neatly scattered about; then on the far right, as you entered, was a chestnut colored bar, with hickory wood bar stools with plush red backs and behind the bar was an assortment of coffees displayed upon a shelf.

Sebastian made his way towards the bar and pulled a few tea cups out. Ciel and you sat at the bar. Ciel, being the way he is, sat a seat away from you, making sure to keep his distance.

"What kind of tea would you like miss (y/n)?" Sebastian asked you, as he stared into your (e/c) orbs with his Mahogany ones.

At that moment you felt your heart skip a beat.

"Black tea please, Sebastian."

"Well that's interesting..." Sebastian muttered to himself. "Would you like sugar or Creme in your tea?" He inquired, as he scooped the tea leaves into the tea pot.

"No thank you. Plain black will do just fine." You smiled gently.

"Odd..." Ciel trailed off.

Hearing Ciel speak you turned to face him, tilting your head to the side as you did so. "Hmm?" You raised a sleek eyebrow, quizzical as to what he was speaking of.

"I just find you odd is all." Ciel spoke, bored with this conversation.

"Huh? What's that supposed to mean?" He pouted, puffing out your cheeks.

"That you are odd. Nothing more, nothing less." He replied as he had his arm placed upon the bar, his head propped up against hand. Smirking lightly, seeing he was getting to you.

You frowned upon hearing his very vague answer.

Sebastian chuckled, listening to you and Ciel's childish bantering. "Please excuse my brother. See, Ciel has a fondness for anything sweet. So what he was trying to say was, he found it peculiar or "odd" as he put it, that you didn't add sugar to your tea." The Raven haired man explained to you.

"Oh." You stated, as you started to understand was Ciel was trying to say to you.

"Sebas-Chan, that's not what I meant at al-" Ciel stopped mid-sentence for Sebastian's eyes had turned pink as he glared daggers at the emo pirate. Telling him to 'stop it right there'.

Of course you were so immersed in the tea Sebastian had made you, that you had not noticed this slight abnormality.

"This tea is wonderful Sebastian. How did you do it?" You praised his work.

"It's quite simple really," Sebastian scooped up some tea into the scoop. "You add one scoop for the pot," he dumped it in. "Then one for each person who is to be served." He dumped 3 more scoops, of what you assumed to be earl gray, into the pot.

~※~

After hours of chatting you noticed it had gotten dark out.

"Oh my, I really must be going. It was a pleasure having tea with you." You said as you gathered your coat, which you had taken off somewhere within the last two hours, and your satchel.

As you were almost out the door, Sebastian grabbed your hand. You looked up into his eyes for a bit, he stared back at you with equal intensity. He then slid a slip of paper into the palm of you hand, and gently closed your fingers around it.

"This slip of paper contains my cell number. Please do Feel free to contact me anytime, day or night." He whispered in your ear, his breath hitting your neck, giving you goose bumps.

"Thank you Sebastian, I certainly will." You blushed as you walked our the door.

Sebastian was watching you through the front window, as you waved goodbye to him. Not paying attention, you ran into a police call box. Startled and embarrassed you straightened yourself up and quickly sped off, hoping a certain raven-haired man didn't noticed this. Oh, But he did.

The mahogany eyed man sighed as he spoke to himself. "What am I going to do with you?"

{Sebastian's POV}

I made my way back to the counter where Young Master was still sitting, and began to clean the bar.

"When are you going to tell her?" Ciel inquired as he had his elbows sitting on the counter, and his head propped atop the back of his intertwined hands.

"In due time Young Master, in due time."
