Chapter 1.
{~*2 Years Later*~}
Sebastian has been my faithful Butler for over two years... Ciel thought to himself as he watched Sebastian pour him a cup of his favorite tea.
Ciel was sitting behind his desk with his hands folded in front of his face, his elbows resting on the desk. His face was emotionless as usual, though.
Ciel had noticed a long time ago that Sebastian almost always had a smile on his face.
Ciel didn't know much of Sebastian's life; except that his parents had been killed so many years ago, he didn't know exactly how long ago though.
He didn't know why Sebastian was still always able to smile; didn't he still feel the pain of losing those around him?
Little did Ciel realize, that he had become someone close to Sebastian over the last two years. Ciel wouldn't admit it, but he got accustomed to Sebastian always being there.
It would definitely be a drastic day if he were to ever lose Sebastian.
But, of course, Ciel would never admit to it.
Ciel was staring at Sebastian the entire time he was thinking to himself.
Sebastian had noticed. "Yes, Young Master?" he asked as Ciel didn't move or respond, making Sebastian just blink in confusion.
He walked over to his Master's side and gently shook his shoulder, "Young Master?" Ciel jumped slightly and looked up at him, "Hm? Oh, yes, Sebastian?" He asked as Sebastian dropped his hand. "You alright? You were staring at me." Sebastian responded.
Ciel blinked and shook his head. "Sorry, was just staring off into space." He said, which was the truth as Sebastian nodded and set down the teacup in front of Ciel. "Here, Young Master." He said and stepped back, picking up the tray as he started to recount Ciel's meetings for the day.
After he finished he looked at the small boy sitting in the chair on the other side of the desk, Sebastian asked; "Is this correct, Young Master?" Sebastian watched Ciel nod as he nodded back and then asked "Can I get you anything else, then, Young Master?" Ciel leaned back in the huge chair, thinking.
After a few seconds he shook his head. "No, that's all. You may go now." Ciel said as Sebastian nodded, bowed and left the room.
Sebastian headed back to the kitchen where Meirin, Finny and Bard were trying to make dinner.
Sebastian swung open the door before walking in as he caught the smell of burning food which made Sebastian frown. "What... Are you three doing...?" He asked, watching them scurry around the kitchen.
Meirin and Finny jumped when they heard Sebastian's voice radiate from behind them, Bard only looked back. Meirin's face flushed a dark red as she watched Sebastian who was patiently waiting for an answer as Finny spun around to face him with a smile plastered on his face. "Well! If you must know, Sebastian! We're making dinner!.. Erm.. Trying." He chuckled weakly and looked at the pan that was on fire now.
Sebastian narrowed his eyes. "Do you mean... burning dinner...?" He asked as Meirin, Finny and Bard frowned lightly.
Bard being the one to speak this time. "Guess so."
Sebastian sighed and looked at them. "Why don't you three go... clean something? I'll take care of dinner.." He said as Bard twitched, he hated this guy bossing him around like this, being treated like they couldn't do anything but clean something.
Finny and Meirin nodded as they left the kitchen pretty fast, Bard following behind them as slow as he felt like as he too left the kitchen.
Sebastian sighed as he turned off the stove and put out the fire.
He cleaned up the kitchen as he started to prepare dinner this time. He set the table once it was ready as he turned off the stove and set the pots and pans away from the burners that were on a few seconds ago as he walked up to Ciel's Study as he knocked.
He waited for his Master to allow him to enter, and when permission was given, he opened the door and bowed with his hand gently on his chest. "Young Master, Dinner is ready now." He said as he stood up to look at his Master. "Bring it to me, Sebastian. I have work to do." Ciel said without even looking up from the papers.
Sebastian blinked and nodded. "Very well." He said as he turned around and left the room, closing the door behind him as he walked to the kitchen and prepared a plate for his Young Master before walking back up and knocking once again.
He was granted permission as he entered and walked over to the desk. Sebastian gently took the papers that were in Ciel's hands and sat the plate down in front of him. "Eat first, Young Master." Sebastian said as he set the papers down on the desk a little bit away from Ciel as he only got a groan out of Ciel who had started to eat.
"Would you like a cup of tea as well, Young Master?" Sebastian asked as Ciel shook his head. "No, thank you, Sebastian." Sebastian nodded as he took a step back and waited for his next order that never came.
Ciel finished eating as he gently pushed the plate away from him and picked up the documents as he continued to read over them. "You may go now, Sebastian." Ciel said as Sebastian nodded and bowed. "Very well, Young Master." He said as he left the room, closing the door behind him.
~*3 Hours Later*~
"Sebastian. Come." Ciel ordered, leaned back in the chair and waited for his Butler to show up.
Minutes passed as Ciel heard a knock on the door. "Enter." he said as Sebastian opened the door and walked in. "Yes, Master?" Sebastian asked and watched as Ciel got up out of his chair. "I'm ready for bed." He said as he walked to then past Sebastian.
He left his study with Sebastian following behind him as Ciel went to his room.
Sebastian started to help Ciel out of his clothes as Ciel just sat there on the edge of his bed. Sebastian stood and walked over to Ciel's closet and started to gather his pajamas as Ciel spoke out. "Sebastian." He said as Sebastian looked back at him. "Yes, Master?" He asked as Ciel got to his feet right in front of his bed.
"Let me wear your shirt." He said as Sebastian blinked. "My.. shirt? Why?" He asked as Ciel twitched once. "Because, I want to wear your shirt." He stated as Sebastian nodded and removed his shirt.
He walked over to Ciel and put it on the small boy. "There." He said. It was a pretty large shirt on Ciel, so Sebastian figured he didn't need to dress the young boy in anything else as Ciel laid down on his bed. The sleeve of Sebastian's shirt was near Ciel's nose as his eyes closed, inhaling Sebastian's scent.
Sebastian watched Ciel snuggle into his shirt as a faint smile appeared on the small boy's face which made Sebastian smile in return.
Sebastian Shivered slightly from the cold breeze that came in through Ciel's opened window. Ciel opened his eyes as the breeze came in as he watched Sebastian's chest fill up with Goosebumps.
Ciel mentally laughed at Sebastian as he moved over on his bed and gently patted it. "Come lay down, Sebastian." Ciel said as he watched Sebastian look at him. "Oh no, Young Master. You need to rest. I have other things to do." He said.
Ciel wasn't going to fall for it.
"Sebastian... Come lay down with me... That's an order." Ciel said, watching Sebastian as he reluctantly nodded and walked over to the bed. "Very well, Young Master." He said as he laid down beside his Young Master.
Ciel smiled faintly again and snuggled into Sebastian this time.
"...Sebastian...?" He asked with his eyes closed. "Yes?" Sebastian asked as he looked at the small boy who was snuggled into him.
A few seconds passed in silence as Ciel finally said, "...You smell good..." Ciel looked up at him with his one glossy blue eye.
He still had the eye patch on even though he usually takes it off before he lays down for the night.
Sebastian blinked but didn't say anything yet as he gently took off the eye patch and set it on the nightstand beside the bed.
Sebastian rolled over to face Ciel as Sebastian gently took the small boy into his arms, Ciel snuggling into him.
Sebastian could tell that his Master was already half asleep.
"You're also strong... And sexy..." Ciel threw that last part in there completely by accident and as soon as he realized he said it, his eyes widening.
He pulled away and sat up quickly. "I-I mean...!" He tried to hide what he had said but it was too late, Sebastian had heard it.
Sebastian smiled at Ciel and said "It's ok... Thank you, Young Master." He finished as he leaned forward toward Ciel and caught Ciel's lips with his own.
