This is one of my top OTP, reason? The dynamics. Ciel is so arrogant yet fragile, Sebastian is so powerful yet takes orders. The whole play for power between the two is perfect, because we all know that in the end, Sebastian will win, yet for now, Ciel has control.

Reviews are always loved.


Love me

With quick movements, the boy grabbed his butler's tie and pulled down roughly in order to bring Sebastian to eye level. Ciel held his gaze for a split second before leaning in and placing a deep kiss on the lips before him.

Sebastian's eyes blinked and widened. He allowed his master's small tongue to sneak between his lips and explore. All too soon, Ciel pulled away to gasp for air, his lungs were not the only thing that was burning, so was his heart.

"Would you like to order me to continue?" inquired Sebastian to Ciel's surprise.

Recognition washed over the boy with a wave of unprepared emotions. 'An order' his butler had called it without much less than a second thought. With a deep inhale, he prepared himself for the unknown for Ciel could not deny these conflicting feelings any longer.

"Sebastian, love me." Ciel said in a commanding tone that failed to reflect in his defiant royal blue eyes which flickered with nervousness. Staring into them were those of his always confident butler, a small smirk growing with every telltale nervous fidget.

"Is that an order, young master?" Sebastian murmured and Ciel grew irritated at those handsome eyes that displayed amusement. The boy wanted his feelings to be reciprocated by the demon. And he understood that Sebastian would be forced to do anything he was ordered to. Yet he knew it was not be love if it was forced. Breaking the intense eye contact, Ciel looked to the windows, his heart aching with the possibility of rejection.

"No, I will not order that." Ciel's reply was painfully quiet but he knew Sebastian could hear it. His eyes still lost in the tree tops. The boy's eyes trailed a chain of thin clouds drifting through the blue sky and swallowed his pride.

With a sigh, Ciel returned his gaze to the demon. Sebastian was expressionless and waiting patiently. Ciel shut his eyes tightly and bit his bottom lip.

"Do you love me?" came the boy's trembling voice. There was a tension-filled pause. He recalled the most important condition of their contract: Sebastian was not to lie. Ever. And the butler did not.

"Young master," the demon began, "I feel strongly for you." That answer did neither please nor satisfy Ciel. Another pause ensured.

"Do you love me, Sebastian" Ciel demanded more harshly, his trembling voice cracked as he said "It should be answered with 'yes' or 'no'." The boy's eyes glared at his butler.

"Ciel, are you sure you would like an answer?" the demon's eyes were sad. Taken aback, Ciel's eyes shone with surprise at his name, only to be filled with wrenching agony when he understood the question and its implications.

A quick nod was all the response Sebastian was going to get out of his master.

"Demons, we cannot 'love'." Sebastian said apologetically. "It does not mean for a second that I do not care for you though, that you can have my word that I do." the butler added quickly, as if it was a consolidation.

Ciel's heart felt incredibly heavy and he quickly blinked back tears that threatened to fall.

"Then," the boy started, wanting to rewind the event. "Then," Ciel said barely inaudible this time. "I order you to act like you love me" Ciel's vision blurred over with unspilt tears as he stepped into Sebastian's waiting embrace.

"Yes, my lord."
