Ciel woke up in Sebastian's arms, laying against his chest. He could feel the dmons heart still beating in time with his own, and he remembered what had happened last night.

'A demons heart almost never beats'

So Sebastian wasn't lying to him,..

Ciel slid an arm around him, hugging him. He had almost fallen back asleep wen a hand brushed his hair out of his face.

"My lord." Sebastian's voice breathed into his ear. "You have to get up."

Ciel ignored him. He didn't have anything planned for today, so why should he have to get up so early?

"Now young master, if you don't get up ill have to make you." Sebastian said with a hint of amusement.

"Id like to see you try." Ciel mumbled.

"You know, I wish you would be more cheerful in the mornings,.. I guess i'll just have to cheer you up myself."

Ciel rolled over and put his head under a pillow.

"I swear, you can be so difficult at times."

Ciel kept ignoring him and Sebastian heaved a sigh.

"Well then, I guess it cant be helped.."

Sebastian loomed over him,... Then started tickleing him so viciously that he was laughing so hard he couldnt breathe.

"Sebastian! That's not fair!" He tried to say, kicking at the demon and laughing. "Okay im awake im awake!" He said, gasping for breath.

"Good then." Sebastian said with his usual smile. "I'll go see to breakfast."

Sebastian tried to get up but Ciel pulled at his sleeve.

"Do you need something?"

Ciel blushed then looked away.

With a smile Sebastian pulled Ciel into his lap and kissed him.

"Goodmorning, My lord." He whispered against Ciel's lips before kissing him again.

"You dont have to call me that if theres no one else around." Ciel said, laying back against the pillows. "Wen your with me privately, you can call me Ciel." He said, looking at the demon with his one blue eye.

"Of course" Sebastian said with a smile as he leaned down and kissed him again.

"Goodmorning, Ciel."

Sebastian knocked on the door then entered with a tray. Ciel was sitting at his desk and hardly noticed wen Sebastian placed tea in front of him.

"Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Ciel said.

Sebastian leaned over Ciel's shoulder.

"Tell me."

Ciel stood and walked over to the window. The fountain was frozen over and it had snowed more during the past week.

"Whats a date like?"

"A date? Have you not taken Elizabeth on one?"

Ciel gave him a glare over his shoulder before looking back out the window.

"No, obviously... and don't bring her up in conversation,.. It makes me feel weird.."

"Of course, Ciel. But you dont have anything major planned for the rest of the day.." Sebastian said walking up behind him. "Why dont I take you on one?"

Ciel looked at him, surprised.

"Are you kidding? Isn't a date supposed to be in public?"

"Not nessesarily."

"Then what is there to even do?"

"You'll find out" Sebastian said with a smile, heading for the door. "Now wait here" He said, a smile still on his face.

"Wait, Sebastian! Where are you-?"

But the demon was already gone. Ciel sighed and sat back down at his desk to finish his tea and paper work. Wen he was finally done he looked at the clock before setting his head down. After what seemed like a half hour he looked back at the clock to see it had only been 5 minuets.

'What could he possibly be doing?'

Ciel stared out the wondow for a long time untill the dorr oppened.

"My Lord, if your ready" Sebastian said with a slight bow. Ciel followed him down the stairs and to the front door, where Sebastian helped him with his coat before going outside. Ciel found a carriage waiting. Sebastian helped him get inside as Ciel gave him a questioning look. Sebastian took the reins.

All Ciel saw outside the window was the snow covered landscape going by and the occasional tree. Wen they finally stopped, Ciel got out and found that they were by a pond that had frozen over.

"What are we doing here?"

"You know how to ice skate, dont you?"

"Of course. Im a noble."

"Good then. It saves me the trouble of teaching you" Sebastian said with a smile as he helped Ciel with his skates then lead him out onto the ice. Ciel went around the pond in circles, watching Sebastian zip around him doing jumps and spins.

That is, untill Sebastian came up behind him, lifting up into his arms and started spinning around.

"Hey! Put me down!" Ciel said with surprise. "Sebastian!" He said wen the demon didnt put him down.

Ciel was spun around a few more times before being set down and Sebastian went back to doing tricks.

'Show off,..' He thought. But he was having a good time untill he got too caught up in watching the demon and the tip of his skate caught on the ice and he started falling...

Sebastian caught him and helped him stand. Ciel's heart was pounding, and he wasn't sure if it was because he had just almost fallen face first onto the hard ice, or if it was because Sebastian was the one who had caught him.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah,.. Im fine." Ciel said, looking up at him.

The demons eyes spakled in the sun, captivating him with a single gaze, and almost stopping his heart. Sebastian's breath was warm against his lips,..

Wen they parted, Sebastian held him for a few moments.

"You know theres more, right?"

"There is?"

"Well of course. If I didnt have anything else planned, now what kind of butler would I be?" He took Ciel's hand and lead him across the ice to their shoes. After helping Ciel put his back on he led them through a few trees to a small clearing, where there was a table with two chairs waiting. On the table was an ice sculpture of a raven taking flight along with a pot of hot chocolate. After helping Ciel into a chair and putting a fur blanket over his shoulders, Sebastian poured him a mug of hot chocolate and topped it with marshmallows.

The drink helped warm him up and Ciel had to admit, this 'date' was nice. It had been so long sence he had been skating,..

"Thank you, Sebastian." He said looking out at the snow covered trees and bushes that surrounded them.

"Thats unlike you." Sebastian said. "But your welcome, Ciel." he said, taking one of Ciel's hand into his own.

He looked at the demon. Hearing Sebastian say his name gave him butterflies. He could order Sebastian to always call him that, but then it would lose its significance.

For the first time in years, he was actually happy.

"Why cant this last forever?" He said, more to himself.

"It can."

"How?" Ciel asked. Wasnt that impossible?

"In the end,.. I dont have to take your soul. I could let you become a demon."

'Could that really happen?'

"I meant stay here,.. Demon or not, I dont want to go to the demon world."

"Who says we cant stay here?"

Before Ciel could think Sebastian was kneeling infront of him.

"We can do what ever you want."

"What ever I want?" Ciel said, his heart stopping again for a few moments.

"Of course."

Ciel had moved closer to him.

"What ever I want,.." He said, sliding all the way into Sebastian's arms.

"Kiss me."

Sebastian slowly pressed him warm lips against Ciel's, holding him close. Ciel put his hands on the demons chest and felt his heart start beating in time with his own again. Before he knew it, he was pulling Sebastian closer, the demon licking his lower lip untill his lips parted.

Ciel could almost feel the ice he had encased his heart in start to chip and fall away with each touch of their lips.

His heart once again almost stopped beating.

'If my heart stops one more time,..' He thought 'It'll probably kill me...'

He was perfectly fine with that.
