Kuroshitsuji

His Butler, His Lover

Part 2

Vendors scattered each side of the street selling fruits, jewelry that was obviously fake, various kinds of other accessories, and other common goods. There were a lot of people today, and teenagers seen inside the shops buying the kinds of things that seem completely useless, to me. All of which wasted time and the money that their parents had been working so hard to earn: money, which they now used to buy such frivolous things. Buying things to gain attraction amongst the eyes of the people. Ahh, humans…If only I could cover both of my ears while walking down the street. Then I could definitely lessen the noise these people create. But that would be just too embarrassing, an Earl walking while covering his ears. What am I, an idiot? Geez…

Sebastian and I are in town just roaming around, hoping to find some clues about the rumored 'Earl Killings' in England. Lately, there has been news and reports that someone was going around murdering earls. Earl John of the Leighton Family was the first to die. Though at first, the case wasn't big, a week later another earl was killed, one Earl Hamlet Beckham. As a result of the investigation, it was discovered that each earl was brutally tortured before the culprit killed him. And thusly, the conclusion spread that the same suspect did both killings of the two earls. Since the Queen sent an order to help in the investigation, Ciel couldn't do anything other than accept.

"My Lord, you're too serious about the case. You've been wearing that upset look on your face far too much. Are you worried because they are targeting earls?" Sebastian asked suddenly.

Ciel's eyebrows frowned at him, "Of course I'm serious! It's my job! But why would I worry about that?"

As the saying goes, expect the unexpected. Without hesitation, Sebastian bent down and grabbed Ciel's face with one hand, while he opened the umbrella that he had been carrying with his other. The action efficiently covered them from public so Sebastian could kiss Ciel.

"Wh – at are you doing?" Ciel pushed Sebastian growled back his shocked.

"Kissing you," his butler bluntly answered.

"In a public place! Are you out of your mind Sebastian?" Ciel started. It was not that he didn't like it…but doing that in public was not good.

Sebastian grinned, "It's because My Lord is too cute when he's lying. I was too tempted."

"Idiot. Never do that again," Ciel said embarrassed as he started walking again. Sebastian, after re-closing the umbrella, followed him.

"I can tell when you lie, My Lord. But I assure you; you needn't worry about being targeted. Even if you are the next target, I wouldn't allow that murderer to even lay a single finger on you," Sebastian sentenced seriously.

"You are exaggerating." Ciel coldly uttered, but deep down, he felt happy.

Yeah, Sebastian is his butler and because of the contract they are nothing but a master and slave…but that didn't stop Ciel from using his position as 'master' to make Sebastian the 'slave' his lover. The master's reasoning? He was simply attracted to Sebastian, his damned perfect, and good-looking demon butler.

Ciel had ordered Sebastian to love him, and him only, which Sebastian fully granted: his reason? 'Because My Lord is so cute, and because My Lord wanted it, so I shall grant it.' What a dumbly loyal butler of his!

However, Ciel knew that even though they were lovers now, Sebastian was just being obedient. He was just pretending that there was really love in their relationship. He was pretending that Sebastian loved him – when the truth was; as a master and slave, Sebastian was just doing his tasks. There was love. At least, that was what Ciel wanted to believe.

Oh well, how complicated. Even Ciel himself couldn't believe that he had done such a thing. He couldn't even imagine why he had fallen in love with this demon, when the only real motive the demon had to be so kind was just his SOUL.

Ciel's mind was so full of thoughts and wonderings that he didn't realized the man in front of him.

"My Lord, watch you'—" Sebastian warned as he tried to catch up to Ciel, but his master had already bumped into the man.

The man had white hair and was wearing a grey suit. He turned around to face Ciel, who, being in the wrong greeted with an apology.

Upon looking at the man, Sebastian seemed a bit shocked but managed to recover soon after. That man grinned at Sebastian and as he passed by Sebastian's side, he whispered, "Seems that you're having a good time, finally living with that kid, huh, Sebby?"

The white haired man passed him by now, leaving Sebastian petrified.

"Sebastian! Hey, Sebastian!" Ciel called out.

"Ah, yes I'm coming, My Lord," he followed Ciel.

"Your face shows that you are familiar with that man, Sebastian," Ciel asked.

"Not likely, My Lord, he just looked like one of my acquaintances. But, he is not," Sebastian answered forwardly.

"As you say," he agreed disbelievingly. Acquaintance he said? So that means, that man just now was also a demon, right? "…Oh well, let's hurry up. It seems it's going to rain."

"As I predicted. That's why I brought us an umbrella, My Lord," Sebastian opened the black colored umbrella.

"Ugh! I can't believe we're going back to the mansion without even a single clue or suspect for the killings," Ciel said, just as the rain started pouring. "Damn the rain! Let's hurry up and discuss the case in the mansion Sebastian."

"Yes, My Lord," Sebastian answered politely.


*Dam-da-dam da dum!*
