Authors Note:

This fic is set after season 2 of the anime, where Ciel becomes a demon.

'Sebastian, must you wear such a long face? I miss that demonic smile of yours...' Ciel purred from his chair, looking up at his butler with blood red eyes.

'I've been dammed beyond damnation, by a mere child,' He all but spat, refusing to look at his master.

'That's no way to talk to your master now, is it?' The smaller of the two spoke sarcastically, smiling.

The butler spun around, almost trembling with rage. He would have killed Ciel long ago but whenever he thought about it, the ancient rune engraved onto his hand seared with pain, reminding him of his orders and place. He didn't want to find out what happened when a demon broke a contract...

'Come on, at least smile...' Sebastian's face remained emotionless. 'At least I'm not Grell?' The younger demon offered, smiling to himself. Life as a demon made him feel free, like he was no longer bound to his simple life of revenge and darkness. And he still had his butler, whom was bound to him for all of eternity.

'You don't like being my butler, do you? Not now that you can't devour my soul, like you so desired...' His eyes gleamed red in the black light, his ivory teeth appearing as fangs.

Pain seared on Sebastian's hand, his teeth clenched. 'You're cruel, my Lord.'

Ciel chucked to himself, revelling in his pain. 'I know...'

'We might as well get on, you know. I mean, it's a long eternity ahead of us...' Ciel approached the butler with little respect, but was serious in his proposal.

'I never said we didn't get on, my Lord.' Came his reply, cold and robotic as always.

'Sebastian, I mean it. No matter which way you look at it, you're stuck with me. We might as well try to make the experience more pleasant for you.' The young lord's tone was sincere. 'Come here,' he ordered, watching Sebastian turn to face him. 'I had reason for keeping you as my butler. It doesn't mean you have to behave like one.' He stated, as Sebastian raised his eyebrows in surprise. 'Explain your reasoning, if you wouldn't mind.'

'If I'm completely honest, I just didn't want to be alone. For a lifetime, I can handle it. For an eternity, I'm not so sure.' Ciel glanced at the teacup in Sebastian's hands. 'You can get rid of that for a start, It's not like I want to drink it anyway,' He ordered, taking the tea cup and throwing it off of the nearest wall, grinning at the smash.

'So you're saying you just wanted a companion?' Sebastian asked, voice thick with scepticism.

'Basically.'

'Bastard...' The butler cursed, clenching his fists.

'What's wrong with that?' Ciel asked, his voice dripping with false innocence.

'Why'd you have to choose me? There are thousands of demons out there, some of them who would happily be your companion! Why choose me?' His voice spoke calmly but his eyes screamed with outrage, a muscle in his jaw tensing as he spoke.

All was silent for a moment as the two pairs of eyes locked, fighting their arguments. 'I didn't want anyone else. I wanted you and only you,' The younger demon spoke quietly, diverting his gaze to his knees.

Sebastian didn't know what to say to that. They hadn't exactly come to an understanding, but he knew the feeling of craving one person and one person only. He knew the agony of desire.

'If you don't want me to behave like a butler, how should I behave?' He asked, folding his arms.

'However you want, just don't kill me or leave, okay?' Ciel's orders were surprisingly vague, as was his expression.

'Is that an order?'

'Yes.'

With a wide sweep of his arm, the tea set went crashing to the ground, the smashing sounds echoing ominously. 'I never liked them anyway,' Sebastian justified, stamping on them for good measure.

'Well, what should we do now?' Ciel asked, scanning the area. They were the only people for miles.

'I suggest we reside where all demons reside. In hell, my Lord.'

Ciel frowned. 'Stop with the "my lord" thing, I never liked that either.'
