It had been 2 years now, since Ciel's contract was first made the demon that had now become his butler.
Ciel was sat at the dinner table, his loyal butler (only loyal due to the contract nothing more), had just placed a plate full of steaming hot food in front of him. He picked up his fork and started to jab at the food.
"Is the food not to your liking, master?" Sebastian asked, confused by his masters behaviour.
"No its fine," Ciel replied, in a think like state.
Sebastian silenced himself and stood up straight, in his usual position beside his master, awaiting an order to take the plate away.
"I don't understand if he does not want the food why doesn't he ask me to take it away, instead of playing with it like some kind of child. Humans are very strange creatures," Sebastian thought to himself as he continued to watch his young master.
"Sebastian" Ciel called not looking up from his food.
"Master?"
"Are you not hungry?" Ciel questioned now looking up, to see his butler's reaction.
Sebastian looked surprised by this, but smiled and answered with, "Of course young master, why do you ask."
"How hungry are you?" Ciel question that bit more.
"I will not starve if that is what you are implying."
"So you would not just simply kill me at any given time?"
Sebastian smirked, "I may be a demon, but I have made a contract with you have I not?"
"You have, but like you said you are a demon. You once told me before you made a contract with me, that you feasted on souls whenever you liked."
"Yes that is true. But now I have formed a contract with you, I am to stay to that said contract. Under no circumstances will I ever take your soul before your revenge is settled."
"Is that so," Ciel replied, turning back to his meal and digging in.
Sebastian moved to face the side of the chair. Ciel then turned to face him, as his butler kneed before his young lord, hand over his heart and head held low he spoke "You ordered me to never lie to you my lord and so I do not lie."
"Good" Ciel was now satisfied with the under his command demons answer.
Sebastian stood and took his rightful place, again by his master's side. Ciel finished off his dinner, Sebastian then took away his empty plate to replace it with desert.
Now full from eating, Ciel headed back to his study. He was going to rest awhile before bed. Sebastian would clean up around the manor until then, so Ciel had some time to himself.
Ciel sat himself at his desk and took out some paper work, after a while he was getting a little tired and put it back in the draw. His eye lids felt heavy and he let sleep bring him down into the darkness.
