A/N: I know I haven't updated in a while but that's because my computer was out getting fixed. Currently I'm also going through a cold I had caught. I have so much school work to make up and I don't think I'm gonna get better anytime soon. So I got my computer back and while I'm stuck in bed I might as well write a bit.

This one was a product of my depressed state that I had gone through recently. I'm a little better on the subject but I'm not fully okay.

Anyways enjoy.

Sebastian had finally finished setting up the new home. They had moved again. This time to Paris.

You see, 123 years ago, in the year 1888, Ciel Phantomhive had been pronounced dead. He was no longer they young boy out for revenge.

Oh no.

He was now just Ciel. The little human boy now turned demon due to an unfortunate incident with an enemy not much older than him.

But that was in the past. It's over and done with.

Ciel and Sebastian had to constantly relocate every 5 or so years due to the fact that neither of them aged. Sure they could change their appearances, though Ciel, being new to a demon life, found it quite difficult. Ciel still remained the same however and Sebastian as well. Though, Ciel was always small for his age so he was often mistaken for a ten year old rather than a thirteen year old. Sebastian kept his looks in the early 20's. They had decided he would pose as Ciel's father and it worked in their favor seeing as how Sebastian resembled Vincent Phantomhive so well.

Ciel had lost count on how many times they moved in the past century. He lost track after the tenth move. It was now the early autumn season in the year of 2011. So much has changed in time. Transportation, communication, and simple everyday living. New lands had been discovered as well as new foods and technology. Sebastian had to admit he was quite impressed with the human society. He often found it amusing that he had to explain how certain things worked to Ciel. The child tended to ask many questions on things he found to complex or fascinating for his young mind to comprehend.

It was late into the night and even though Ciel no longer required sleep like humans, he couldn't kick the habit of needing to be put to bed every night. He indulged in the luxury of snuggling under warm blankets and dreaming. Sebastian didn't mind this one bit. He enjoyed having time to himself to think while Ciel rested. He too often slept on nights when there wasn't much to do.

The demon had taken on the job of a cook in a nice five star restaurant in their current location. When he presented his skills to the owner, who was a woman, she simply refused to let him go and gave him the job. Serving Ciel for so long gave Sebastian the skills for such a job and he quite enjoyed it. The pay was more than enough for him and Ciel to live comfortably among humans with a spacious house and luxuries. Ciel however refused to attend school after the seventh move they had however Sebastian had forced him to attend this time in Paris. The school was private and one of the best in the area. However a week into attending, Ciel had come home in a furious mess and yelled to a point where he was almost in tears. Sebastian had to calm him and sooth his troubled mind and after listening to what the boy had to say, promised he wouldn't have to go anymore.

Ciel had been the center of attention when it came to bullies. He was smart for a 13 year old and was constantly picked on by others out of jealousy or simply because he was a weak target. Sebastian decided to home-school him with lessons on Saturdays and occasionally on Sundays. The lessons only revolved around math, English, and politics and Ciel picked up on things easily. During the week days, Ciel would sometimes accompany Sebastian to work and, with much luck, the owner simply adored him. She once told Sebastian she had a soft spot for children. Often thought, the boy would roam the city, so long as he stayed out of trouble. He was always to come home before 7 pm.

One thing Ciel had enjoyed was no longer having to wear an eye patch. Sebastian had explained the invention of colored contacts and Ciel was glad to have them. It would be quite strange to have to wear an eye patch in this time period. Sebastian once made the mistake to call Ciel cute once he saw the boy with two normal eyes color. He was lucky to escape the wrath of Ciel's tiny fists even though he knew the boy could do no damage. Despite all Ciel had been through, he was still fragile. Being reborn as a demon tended to require much care on his part and Sebastian was more than happy to help.

As Ceil rested soundly, Sebastian sat in the kitchen at the island counter. He was thinking about all the years that had past being with Ciel. The relationship they shared was no longer that of Master and butler, but perhaps that of father and son. At least that how Sebastian saw it. He understood the feeling parents had for their children. The unending love for their greatest creations. If anyone would have told him he would be spending the rest of him time looking after a child, he would have laughed at them and slit their throat.

However Ciel was special. He had never met anyone who held such a strong will.

He was still deep in thought and didn't notice the sound of little feet padding across the shining tiled floor.

"Sebastian." It was small and sleepy, but the demon heard it. Turning suddenly in his chair, Sebastian met Ciel dressed in dark blue pajamas with a crescent moon on the front and a few stars with the words saying "good night" written under the stars.

"Ciel, I thought you were sleeping." Sebastian had began calling Ciel by his name since he had to keep up the parental act. It didn't feel so much like an act anymore.

"I don't feel like sleeping anymore." The little demon came to stand by Sebastian's side.

Sebastian only smiled and lifted Ciel in to his lap. Over the years, Ciel had gotten accustomed to Sebastian holding him. Whenever he was picked up, it always reminded him of when his father would lift him into his arms.

"It's still late in the night, almost morning." Sebastian whispered into Ciel's silk hair and held the boy with his arms around his small waist. Ciel had placed his hands upon Sebastian's and leaned into the man's warm body then turned his head and looked out the large kitchen window above the sink.

"Sebastian, do you ever think about leaving?" The question was sudden and Sebastian was curious as to what the boy meant.

"What do you mean by leave, Ciel?" What did he mean? He head Ciel give a soft sigh.

"I mean don't you ever miss being free? You spent the past 100 years stuck with me. Making sure I was healthy, bathing me, and to this day you still dress me even though I tell you I can handle it myself. Have I not been a bother to you? Don't you tire of it all? I could imagine you a free demon roaming the world for souls to consume. Now, you can't even do that. Are you not bothered by that?" Ciel turned his attention from the window and turned his head up to look Sebastian in the eye with childish innocence.

There was a moment of silence until Sebastian closed his eyes and smiled.

"Ciel, I never imagined this sort of this would ever happen. When I had made the contract with you, I never thought it would be forever. In truth, yes I have had thoughts about up and leaving when I realized we would be bound forever. Just simply disappearing without a word." At this, Ciel's eyes went wide and he became tense in Sebastian's arms so the demon was quick to explain. "However, I knew I couldn't leave. I may be a demon, but I never lie. And I always said I would be with you till the very end. It looks like the end won't be coming for us my little Ceil. In truth I think of you as my son even though I never had one. I never planned on having any children in fact. But always remember I will be here to care for you always." Sebastian pulled Ciel closer to him, holding the boys head under his chin and the other still around his waist.

Ciel was speechless but glad that he had Sebastian. He felt loved. Something he hadn't felt in a long time. The warmth of someone who cared for you with undying love.

Suddenly, he felt himself being repositioned and lifted higher in Sebastian's hold. Sebastian stood from him chair and Ciel was now held with his head on Sebastian's shoulder and being supported with the demons arms around his back and one under his bottom with his legs around Sebastian's waist. Sebastian walked into the living room and up to the front door which was opened. He stepped outside into the cool air that wasn't quite cold yet but it was far from summer. Sitting on the chair swing on the porch, Sebastian held Ciel in the same position and rocked gently. Ciel didn't say a word. He only sat in the comfortable silence with his "father". He was ever grateful for Sebastian's comfort and love and looked forward to the long years ahead of them.

"Thank you, Sebastian."
