AN (may contain spoilers for story and cannon): This story was prompted by the thought; "If Sebastian's fingernails are black, what about his toenails?" It was one of those ideas that sound hilarious at the time in your head, but don't translate that well to paper. Still, my beta found it funny.

Black Polish

Ciel looked at the scene before him in astonishment. Never in the hundred years since he had become a demon, had he ever seen anything like it. Sebastian sat cross legged on his side of their King sized bed lips slightly parted. His eyes were narrowed in concentration and the pick tip of his tongue peeped out from between his pursed lips. The bedspread around him was littered with dozens of little black bottles.

'Damn it.' He hissed as the brush slipped a bit, smudging his skin.

'Sebastian?' Ciel asked slowly watching the other demon cautiously 'What exactly are you doing?'

'Painting my nails." Sebastian replied, his tone underlining the stupidity of Ciel's question as he glancing up from his wetly glistening fingernails. Ciel looked at him blankly.

'Why?' He asked the older demon bluntly.

'How do you think I manage to keep my nails so perfectly black?' The older demon rolled his eyes.

'But my nails are black and I've never painted them.' Ciel replied in confusion.

'Oh, that, I dyed them for you once a week.' Sebastian replied matter-of-factly as he applied a second layer of black

'Huh? You've never… when?'

'Oh, whenever you pass out after we screw.' Sebastian replied absently turning his hand one way than the other as he examined his nails for any parts that he had missed 'But concentrated fallen angel blood has nothing on these human nail polishes.'

'Wha- Wait, Just a minute, so demon nails aren't naturally black? And what's this about fallen angel blood?' Ciel asked even more confused than before.

'Demon nails are only black for a few decades after a demon gains maturity. Fallen angel blood is used to keep nails black; it's a sign of status since it's so ridiculously expensive, despite the smell."

Ciel stared incredulously at the older demon.

'We don't live in hell, we hardly see any other demons. So why the hell would you worry about something as superfluous as the status of my nails?!' Ciel asked, exasperated.

'What sort of butler would I be if I allowed my master to look anything less than his station?' Sebastian replied with a smirk, before pausing and tilting his head to one side, eyeing his nails critically. 'Besides, it would hardly be good for my reputation to serve a demon lower raking than myself.'

'But still, why so many Sebastian? It's not like you need more than one bottle, why don't you just chuck out the rest?' Ciel asked puzzled as he gestured to the dozens of bottles of black nail polish. Sebastian gave Ciel an undecipherable stare. Ciel felt the need to squirm under the fanatic passion in his fiery gaze. Sebastian pointed one nail polish brush at Ciel, giving him a deadly stare.

'Don't. Knock. The nail polish.' He said clearly before he turned starry eyed. 'There are just so many out there; Loreal's "Resist & Shine Titanium" Sally Hansen's "Diamond Strength", though I do prefer their "Hard as Nails Extreme Wear", Oh and then there's the glossiness of Maybelline's "Show Stop Shine" and their "Colour Show", but I'm not much for colour, not to forget Cover Girl's "Stay Brilliant", but I don't like the way it feels. Rimmel's "Sixty Seconds" is good for depth and a quick dry, though Revlon's "Top Speed Quick Dry", makes repairing chips so much easier, It's hard to say which of them is faster but Revlon definitely is an absolute show stopper with those new perfumed polishes; the smell of nail polish was already better than concentrated fallen angel blood, but with the new scents, my nails now smell constantly of coffee. How can I choose just one, they are all so fabulous.' Sebastian gushed, his cheeks tinted pink, a strange expression of bliss on his face.

Ciel looked at his demonic lover in growing horror, as he slowly backed away from the crazy demon. Maybe he could seek sanctuary with the undertaker, even that old geezer wasn't this crazy.
