Chapter 1~

"Young master, it is time for you to wake up," a familiar voice and the sound of curtains being pulled back. The same ten words he'd heard every morning for countless years. Those words uttered by his dark butler, whom was now leaning over him slightly as he readied his tea and morning snack.

"What is today's schedule?" Questioned the boy as he slowly rose from his slumber, glancing at the butler with his bi-coloured eyes.

"Today's schedule is crystal clear, young master," came the reply, along with an obviously fake smile – or at least, it seemed fake to the young lord; but was it really?

As the day carried on, everyone in the Phantomhive household carried out their daily tasks as usual – Bard in the kitchen (hopefully not planting grenades in the food), Mayrin cleaning things up (hopefully not smashing porcelain), Finny in the garden (hopefully not uprooting trees), Sebastian doing whatever the 'hell' a butler does and finally, Ciel, the head of the Phantomhive name, attending to paperwork in his study. The servants… they're not real. Of course, those three servants were human and therefore would probably be either quite old or already dead by now. The ones that remained in Ciel Phantomhive's mansion were simply illusions, left there to remind him of his human life.

"Sebastian, come here," the young boy muttered, not worrying about the fact that he had worded it almost inaudibly or about the fact that the butler was nowhere in sight. A knock at the door and the slender demon walked in graciously, bowing to his master slightly with a hand splayed over his heart.

"Yes, young master? Is there something you need?" He questioned, straightening his physique.

"Paperwork all day is boring, bring me something sweet," the young bluenette requested, his single uncovered sapphire eye half-lidded as a show of his absolute boredom.

"Young master, – if I may apologize for my refusal – it is rather unhealthy to consume sugary foods in between meals." At that, the younger demon glared at his servant with his now glowing crimson eye.

"Are you refusing to follow my order?!" The boy exclaimed, rising from his seat as he continued to glare at the raven-haired man.

"No, master, I am simply stating my opinion on your healthy eati-"

"Shut up!" Ciel's voice bounced off the walls of the spacious room and was followed by an uncomfortably intimate silence.

"Young master… I sincerely apologize for my unacceptable behaviour. I will prepare a sweet treat for the young master at once," with the fake smile back on his face, the butler began to back away towards the door.

"Sebastian," Ciel said, his tone suddenly sounding like that of a curious child.

"Yes, my young lord?" Sebastian replied, halting about a meter from the door.

"Why is it that you constantly flaunt that false smile of yours?" Questioned the boy, as he settled back down in his seat and rested his cheek on his hand.

"False smile, young master? You ordered me to never lie when the contract was first made, did you not, master?" Came the flawlessly worded reply from the raven-haired man. Ciel glared at his servant for a moment before motioning him to come closer. The man approached his master tentatively, keeping his posture perfectly straight the entire time. Eventually, Ciel stood up and grabbed Sebastian's tie firmly, suddenly pulling him closer until the man was leaning over the desk, his gloved hands splayed out on either side of said wooden surface.

"So you claim to smile like that out of pure bliss at the mere sight of me?" The boy challenged as his free hand snaked through the jet black hair before him, whilst his other hand continued to grip the man's tie with bone-crushing force.

"Yes, young master," were the words that slid past the butler's lips in a rather alluring tone. Those lips were soon claimed by those of the young Earl, whom had closed the intimately short distance between the two. The soft kiss didn't last long, as Ciel pulled back, his face quite expressionless.

"To think my young master would resort to such a human act of affection," Sebastian teased, smiling at the boy. His smile disappeared when said boy slapped him across the face.

"Don't talk to me like that!" He exclaimed, glaring at Sebastian once again.

"Talk to you like what, young master?" The dark butler continued, enjoying every millisecond of the teasing manner in which he was speaking to his master.

"You know what I mean; don't attempt to purposefully irritate me like that," he commanded, without the slightest bit of hesitation in his voice.

"Yes, my lord," the servant obeyed, exiting the room to prepare something sweet for the Earl.

That's it for Chapter 1. I'll start working on chapter 2 and upload it if I get at least a few reviews on this (3-5, I guess?). Please notify me of any errors. Thanks.
