It had been a few weeks since Ciel Phantomhive had been transformed into a demon. He was still getting used to moving around, trying to touch things without breaking them, and his newly found senses. The young boy now had his demon butler for eternity, to command and to cherish.

The demon butler himself was busy in the kitchen, trying to prepare his young master's lunch but being distracted by Bard yelling at him from the other side of the door, which Sebastian had locked for such an occasion.

"SEBASTIAN! LET ME IN DAMMIT! YOU KNOW FINE WELL IT'LL COOK BETTER WITH MY FLAMETHROWER! AFTERALL, I'M THE CHEF, NOT YOU."

Sebastian sighed, walking towards the door, to dispose of Bard, but spotted something out the window which caught his interest instead. It was his young master, lying on the grass at the front of the mansion. He could not help but smile at this sight, but was swiftly brought back to his senses by the door nearly being knocked off it's hinges. He opened the door gently.

"Please, Bard, I am going to check on young master in the courtyard for a brief moment. You are not, I repeat, ARE NOT, allowed to touch anything in here. Do I make myself clear?"

Bard nodded and Sebastian smiled before walking briskly towards the main doors, placing his suit jacket back on. As soon as he opened the main doors to check on his master, the sound of an explosion resonated throughout the whole mansion.

"I thought I told him not to touch anything..."

The butler sighed and walked over to the boy lying on the grass, gently shaking him by his shoulder.

"Young master, young master" he soothed softly.

The boy didn't move. Sebastian frowned, shaking him a little harder.

"Young master. Wake up."

His visible eye shot open, the demon glittering red being the dominant colour. They quickly changed back to the fake blue he used as he realized who it was.

"Oh, Sebastian."

He gave a genuine smile to his butler, pleased to see him. A genuine smile played on the edge of Sebastian's lips.

"You're smile is infectious, Ciel."

The boy sat up and looked around, noticing smoke coming out of the kitchen window.

"Bard burned the food again, didn't he..."

Sebastian nodded softly, frowning a tiny bit but still smiling. Ciel patted the ground next to him, wanting some company to be kept with him. His butler obeyed and sat down, a smile on his face. Ciel looked at the sky and sighed softly.

"My mind is at ease today..." Ciel said quietly.

"It pleases me to hear that my lord."

Ciel looked at his butler, his demon eyes flashing to observe his butlers actions. He opened his mouth, a tiny growl emerging. The boy covered his mouth, ashamed of what just happened. His butler stared at him, quite curious.

"Did you just growl at me, young master?"

"I...I think I did, Sebastian..."

Ciel got up, keeping his mouth covered and walking away, suddenly becoming isolate. Sebastian stared after him.

"Is something bothering you, my lord?"

Ciel glanced over his shoulder.

"It is no concern of yours."

Sebastian stared at his master, slightly shocked. This was a first. Ciel usually told him anything and everything that was on his mind, it was a symbol of their trust.

"I'm afraid it is my lord. And even if it wasn't, it would be my duty to make it so."

The butler stood up and slowly advanced towards his master, not wanting to cause him any concern. Ciel stared at him, a murderous intent glowing in his eyes but a sorrowful expression on his face.

"Don't move any closer, Sebastian."

Sebastian stared at him, confused at his sudden change in attitude. He continued to slowly advance towards his master, a smirk playing at his lips.

"What would you do, dear master, if I ignored your commands and continued as I am now? What could you possible do to me as an unskilled demon?"

The thought had already crossed his mind. He knew he'd be ripped to pieces if he even attempted an attack against his butler, but at the present moment in time, he couldn't collect his thoughts, acting purely on demon instinct.

"I asked you as a demon, but now I command you as your master. Do not move any closer."

The words choked him to say. Usually he loved the company of his butler, the feeling of him close by was reassuring to such a lonely child. Sebastian stopped, not wanting to upset Ciel any further.

"Master, what have I done for you to project this onto me?"

"...You haven't done anything. I'm trying to protect you," Ciel mumbled.

Before the boy knew what he was doing, his legs started to move, picking up pace so he was charging towards the raven haired man.

"My lord?" Sebastian asked.

The murderous intent flashed brighter than usual in the small boys eyes as he continued the charge. The butler merely smirked, waiting for the child to get close.

"You never cease to amuse me, my lord"

The eldest demon dodged the charge, grabbing his master and holding him in a position normally people couldn't escape from. The younger demon growled again, this time more ferociously.

"What was that, my lord?" the butler smirked.

Ciel grabbed Sebastian's head with his free arm and threw him over his shoulders in less than a second, pinning him to the ground, fangs showing. Sebastian glanced up at him, not able to hide the shock on his face.

"Good move." he muttered.

Ciel stood up, brushing all the dirt he could off his clothes and walked towards the mansion not uttering a word. Sebastian stayed frozen, still in a slight state of shock from his master's actions.

"Sebastian." Ciel spat, glaring over his shoulder to his butler.

"Yes, my lord?" Sebastian replied, returning the glare.

The boy blinked, this was a rare occasion for his butler to glare at him. His eyes shook, his head pounded and his face froze. Something was wrong with him, since he turned into a demon, he could feel it. Sebastian continued to glare at him, curious as to what he was going to do next as the boy had been still for a while. Ciel made eye contact with him again.

"I apologize for my outburst. It was rude."

Sebastian watched him carefully, the glare slowly fading on his face, but not completely.

"You needn't be my lord. Demon instincts are demon instincts."

Ciel looked away, ashamed of his actions. He was portraying himself so barbarically.

"I shall return to my quarters for the day then. Unless, you would like a hand?" Ciel asked, walking towards his butler cautiously holding his hand out.

Sebastian stared at his master, curious as to why he was acting so different suddenly. He sat up, brushing off his coat.

"I would appreciate a hand, my lord, but I wouldn't be much of a butler to accept the hand of my master, would I?"

Ciel smirked, pulling him up anyway then pivoting on the spot to face the mansion again, his usual composure gained. Sebastian bowed to him.

"Thank you, Ciel." He smirked at the utter of his masters name.

The boy stopped for a second, not used to his butler calling him by his name. He smiled to himself and walked towards the mansion, his loyal butler following him.
