Chapter Four

While everyone was packing up, Sebastian moved to the back room to get dressed. He wouldn't be meeting Ciel for lunch for a few more hours, giving him plenty of time to take care of his problem.

His mind was already busy plotting ways to get back at Ciel. He wouldn't forget this little stunt so easily.

A knock on the door made him pause in buttoning his shirt up and he turned towards it. He knew it wasn't the Undertaker, who usually just burst into the changing room, and his head cocked slightly.

The door opened slowly before Ciel stepped inside the small room, blue eyes dancing in the dim lighting. "Hello little temptress," Sebastian muttered.

Ciel leaned against the door frame looking like the cat that had caught the canary. A devilish grin twisted his lips, and his eyes glinted mischievously. "Did you enjoy modeling for us today Mr. Michaelis? I do hope you'll come again." Ciel teased, coming further into the room. "I really enjoyed sketching you. It was most enjoyable."

A crisp sheet of paper was presented to Sebastian's chest. Ciel smiled as the older man eyed it for a moment. "It's for you. I thought you would like to see how your lessons paid off."

Ciel turned to leave, pausing at the door for a moment. "Have fun with your hand, and I'll see you later." He waved to Sebastian and left without a look back. It was best if Sebastian didn't see the pure glee coating his face.

Sebastian glanced down at the sheet of paper and contemplated dragging Ciel back into the closet but decided against it. Instead, he placed the detailed picture that Ciel drew of his cock into a sketch book of his own.

He wasn't that narcissistic to become aroused by looking at picture of his cock and it did help to calm him down. But not nearly enough and with an annoyed grunt, he headed back to his shop where he could get some much needed relief.

And then he would plot on how to get back at Ciel.

The rest of the day hadn't been nearly as thrilling as Ciel's morning. His other classes went along at an abnormally slow pace, that left even him clock watching. It didn't help that he had to cram for an exam on top of it all. Spending an hour in the library slaving over books was enough to drain anyone.

Ciel breathed a sigh of relief as he got his first breath of fresh air in hours. He even had to cancel his lunch plans at the last minute. Thinking about Sebastian, Ciel whipped out his cell and typed a quick message. 'Finally leaving. See you soon.'

They would be having dinner in place of lunch, though it really wasn't that big of deal. Sebastian and Ciel spent their meals together more often then not. It helped that the two men lived fairly close to each other.

Turning a corner, Ciel made his way down a side street that would lead to Sebastian's tattoo parlor. Hopefully the tattoo artist wouldn't be too busy, although given the time the shop should be relatively empty.

Sure enough, as Ciel walked in through the door there was only one individual sitting in the waiting room. Mey-rin smiled at him as he passed by the front desk and headed back towards where he knew Sebastian's office to be. Ciel didn't even bother to knock as he barged right in.

A startled figure sitting on Sebastian's desk turned around quickly as the office door smacked against the wall. Wide eyes glanced at him and the already flushed face grew darker in color now that there was an audience.

The other male whimpered and turned back to look between his legs. "Sebastian, please." His voice trembled. "I can't."

Sebastian's head poked around from the seated body and settled his gaze on Ciel. His eyes narrowed slightly before he sighed. "Wait outside for a few minutes Ciel," he muttered and turned his attention back to the other male. "This doesn't change anything, we're still going to do this."

Ciel just froze in the doorway. He blinked one, twice, but the image was still there. For a moment he wondered if perhaps he had barged into the wrong office. But there was no mistaking Sebastian's voice or those scarlet eyes that peaked around the boy on the office desk.

The whole scene seemed wrong. Ciel was even half expecting one of them to stutter out a 'it's not what it looks like'. Wasn't that how these sort of things unfolded? Ciel would then come storming in, smack the whore crazy for touching his man and then proceed to chew out said man. Though in reality Ciel only wanted to leave the room as quick as he could.

Mumbling a half assed sorry, he turned around and let the door slam in front of him. He didn't even bother to go back into the waiting room. Instead Ciel slid down to the floor, gathered his legs and buried his face into his knees. His mind was a blank, and he pushed back any thoughts that threatened to tease him. He would wait. Nothing made sense to Ciel, so he would sit and wait for his answers to be given.

A loud piercing scream echoed into the hallway before it fell silent once again. Moments of silence passed by before the door creaked open slowly and Sebastian stepped out of the office, the other male leaning against him.

His face was still red and streaked with tears as he walked awkwardly. They paused at the doorway that would lead back out to the shop and Sebastian handed him a small slip of paper.

"Call me if the bleeding continues for some reason and remember to come back in two days." The other male nodded and accepted the paper with a low thank you. Sebastian nodded and smiled lightly. "I'll see you again in a few days."

Once the male had left the shop, he turned back to his office and nudged Ciel who was still sitting on the floor. "Now you can come in, just ignore the mess."

"What was all of that about?" Ciel asked as he walked back into the office. Apparently he had been way off in his assumptions, or so it seemed at present.

"Genital piercing, although it's taken a week of coaxing to finally get the job done. I finally suggested to do the piercing closer to closing time and in my office where no one would be able to see." Sebastian wiped his desk clean with a wet cloth before grabbing a bottle of disinfectant.

"He was getting it done to surprise his boyfriend, but was just nervous. You came in right as I was about to pierce him." The dirty rag was tossed in the trash can and the clean desk gleamed under the light. "Claude will enjoy that little surprise."

"Ouch. Don't be expecting that level of devotion from me," Ciel quipped, taking a seat across from the desk. "And don't expect me to be touching your desk any time soon."

Ciel watched Sebastian put his supplies away, cringing slightly when he saw the needle that had been used. He turned away from the sight, looking towards the filing cabinet. A smile bloomed on his face when he caught sight of a familiar piece of paper.

"So, did you like my gift?" He asked Sebastian.

Sebastian moved to stand next to Ciel and looked at the paper as well. "It's adequate," he answered. "Doesn't compare to the real thing though."

He let his hand snake around Ciel's waist and he pulled him back against his chest. His fingers trailed beneath Ciel's shirt, moving up his chest and tweaked the pebbled nubs. "And I wouldn't expect for you to get that kind of piercing." He tugged on the hard nipple. "But seeing a little ring here would look nice on you."

Ciel glared. "You're not coming anywhere near me with a needle," he warned. It wasn't as if he was afraid of needles, but the thought of getting pierced had never settled well with him. With practiced ease Ciel broke from Sebastian's hold, and putting some space between them. "And wash your hands before you go and touch me everywhere."

Sebastian chuckled. "I already washed my hands," he stated but moved to the sink to wash them again, just so Ciel could see that they were clean. Once clean, he dried them off and moved to sit down on the couch.

He glanced at Ciel who was still admiring the drawing before reaching out and grabbing his arm. With a quick yank, he pulled him down into his lap and smirked at the slight pout that had adorned Ciel's lips.

"But you'd look even better with my ink on your skin." This time his fingers dipped below Ciel's pants and brushed over the skin at the base of his spine. "Right here."

"You are just bound and determined to defile my body in every way you can, aren't you?" Ciel leaned into the touch, relishing the feel of those warm fingers playing along his spine. "Besides, why should I let you mark my body when you don't even have one ounce of ink on you. Kind of odd for a tattoo artist," He mused, bringing his hands to wrap around Sebastian's neck.

Sebastian hummed. "Then you haven't done a very good job at looking for it," he said and let his fingers dip lower. They trailed over the swell of Ciel's ass and teased the skin with light touches before drawing away all together. "Shall we go eat dinner?"

Ciel eyed him curiously for a moment as if the hinted at tattoo would pop out and announce itself. Seeing the endeavor as fruitless, he slowly untangled himself from Sebastian. "Fine. Did you have some place in mind?"

"There's a new bakery that just opened up a few days ago," Sebastian answered and stood up once Ciel was off his lap. "I figured we'd go there and try some of their fresh bread and pastries."

The prospect of sweets always improved Ciel's mood. His eyes lit up and it took him no time at all to be ready and waiting at the office door. "They are supposed to have some of the best cakes," Ciel chimed, waving at Sebastian to hurry.

Sebastian rolled his eyes slightly at Ciel's actions but followed him nonetheless. He nodded to Mey-rin, who would finish locking up the shop for the night. Once outside, he sucked in a deep breath of the night air and started walking down the street, listening to Ciel's excited talk about the sweets he wanted to try.

With the amount that he was listing, they were in for a long, sugar filled night.

Ciel could almost taste the sweets to come as he walked a head of Sebastian. They had just left the Tea Leaves tattoo parlor and the sky had long ago grown dark. The street light on the corner shown bright, gaining Ciel's attention as they drew nearer. Standing almost innocently beneath the light was a man smoking upon a quickly dying cigarette.

As they drew closer, the man looked up dropping his now finished cig to the ground without bothering to smother the smoldering butt. Ciel felt a sense of anxiety as the stranger assessed them for a moment before moving closer. A scene of them being mugged and killed flashed through his mind, but he quickly pushed it aside.

"Excuse me sirs, but could you spare a few dollars? I found a lost kitten that needs some food."

Sebastian's eyes narrowed at the man who grinned at him. With a small frown, he pushed Ciel ahead. "Go get us a table, I need to ask this man about his kitten. Soot has a sister somewhere that she's looking for."

He could see Ciel giving him a weird look before continuing on towards the cafe just across the road. He watched until the younger male entered the shop before turning his attention back to the beggar.

"Now what's this about a kitten?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest.

The man chuckled. "Tomorrow afternoon, two, at the bookstore. You can come see the kitten there."

Sebastian's eye twitched. "I'll make sure to be there. And there better be something there." He leaned forward and was pleased to see the man take a step back. "Or you won't have to worry about feeding that kitten anymore."

He turned around and left the man standing under the street light. After checking the road for cars, he quickly jogged across the road and pushed open the door. The bell rang over his head as he scanned the tables for Ciel.

Upon seeing Sebastian walk through the door, Ciel was assaulted with questions he wanted to ask the other. You had to be stupid not to sense that something was a miss with that. He waved the older man over, pushing a cup of coffee over once Sebastian had seated himself.

"You mind explaining that little scene?" Ciel questioned as he set about adding cream and sugar to the hot tea he had ordered.

Sebastian blinked. "I thought I told you. I found Soot on the streets and I've been looking for her litter mates for a while now." He sipped at his coffee, the hot drink easing the tension in his shoulders. "Whenever someone says they have a cat for sale, I stop to see if it Soot's litter mates. Sadly, it wasn't."

If anyone else had been telling Ciel this, he would have called them lairs and crappy liars at that. Though given this was Sebastian, the cat crazed lunatic that he was, it seemed entirely plausible. "You never fail to get odder. Just know that if you bring in any more strays I'm going to boycott your house. For health reasons," he added for good measure.

The waitress came soon after, not allowing Ciel to further his rant. She was pleasant, even if Ciel didn't like how she smiled at Sebastian. Their orders were taken quickly, Ciel settling on some tomato bisque and half a turkey sandwich. He would take more time when it came to picking out his sweet for the night.

Leaning back in his chair, Sebastian regarded Ciel with a small smile. "I still think that the cat allergy is only in your head. Or maybe its just a reason for you to avoid my house because you're worried about how our lessons will progress."

He knew it was a lie though. They both enjoyed the little lessons that happened whenever Ciel stayed the night. And while they had never made it all the way to step ten in Sebastian's master plan, he was content with the pace they were moving at.

"Like you wouldn't be apposed to moving lessons to my place." Ciel took a sip of his tea, loving the taste of bergamot on his tongue. "And it's hardly in my head, though I suppose I could look into getting some medication to help." He looked Sebastian over, before amending his statement. "That doesn't mean you can adopt any more of those fuzz balls."

Sebastian sighed and forced his face into a sad expression. "If you insist," he said in a dejected tone. He heard Ciel snort and allowed himself a small laugh as the waitress came up with their food.

They ate in silence once she left, making small comments about the food and leaving Ciel to steal the pickle off Sebastian's plate. Once the meal was over, Sebastian watched with amusement as Ciel struggled to pick a dessert that he wanted.

"Nothing too sweet, or I'll have to tire you out so you can sleep tonight," he commented.

Ciel flapped his hand in Sebastian's face, waving away his words. He would be sure to get anything he pleased. A strawberry mousse cake caught his eye and he quickly placed his order and sent the waitress on her way.

"You're not getting anything?" Ciel asked.

"It seems that I'll be getting my dessert tonight," Sebastian answered and pushed aside his empty coffee cup. He regarded Ciel with amused eyes and licked his lips. "So while you eat your dessert, I'll be thinking about what I'm going to do with mine."

A rosy blush spread across Ciel's cheeks as he caught the meaning behind those words. Trust Sebastian to turn any innocent conversation into perverted innuendos. "I think you'll have better luck getting a dessert if you order one here." He threw a dessert menu towards Sebastian, who caught it with ease.

"Say's you," he chuckled and passed the menu off to a waitress walking by. "But I think after that detailed picture you drew, you'll be wanting the real thing tonight." He smirked and watched Ciel closely.

Ciel said nothing, thankfully saved from answering as his cake was set down in front of him. The dessert looked delicious and he eagerly dove in, stuffing his face with earnest. The flavor was pungent but not overly sweet; it was perfect.

He paused with a bite halfway to his mouth, but stopped as he glanced back to Sebastian. Remembering his manners, Ciel held his fork and waved the tempting piece of strawberry fluff. "Want to try some? It's good."

Sebastian nodded and leaned forward to take the sweet off Ciel's fork. He let the rich taste fill his mouth before swallowing and licking at the leftovers on the corners of his mouth. He thanked Ciel, who went back to eating his dessert happily.

"You know," Sebastian said, leaning forward and resting his chin on his hand. "I bet you'd taste good with some whip cream on your body. I think I might even have some strawberries at home."

"I think we make enough of a mess without the help of whipped cream and strawberries," Ciel mused between bites of cake. They even managed to get dirty while trying to get clean. It was exhausting at times, though quite enjoyable. Sebastian didn't know that last part. God only knows he would take advantage of that fact.

Sebastian chuckled but stayed silent for the rest of the meal, allowing Ciel to finish in peace. If he kept teasing the other male, it would be harder to coax Ciel into playing around a bit. So for now he would play nice and hope for the best later on. After today's class, he deserved something.

They finished up and paid for their meals before heading out of the cafe and back home. It was a short trip and Sebastian unlocked his door, letting Ciel in first before shutting and locking the door behind him.

Ciel allowed himself to fall into a familiar pattern as he took his shoes off, made it into the kitchen to grab a glass of water and then moved into the living room to collapse on the couch. The television flickered on and Ciel flipped through channels, paying no mind to Sebastian who he had left at the door.

After not finding anything of merit on, Ciel settled for the news. It had been a while since he last cared to see what was going on in the world. Currently two politicians were arguing like rabid dogs, it was more amusing then anything. Soon Ciel decided to tune them out and give his attention to his glass of water.

Sebastian eyed the television with disgust as he sat down next to Ciel. He didn't want to listen to politics's right now; it had been a long day and tomorrow wasn't looking any better. A frown crossed his lips at the thought of the next day and he realized that he'd probably be busy for the rest of the week and wouldn't get a chance to see much of Ciel.

With a low grunt, he reached over and pulled Ciel into his lap before leaning back on the couch. He could feel Ciel's heartbeat speed up but for now was content to just relax with the smaller male. His hands traced random patterns over the clothed back, running along Ciel's spine and up to his neck.

Ciel leaned back into the touch content with the attention he was receiving. A low hum passed his lips; it was almost as if he was purring. It felt so nice sitting here with Sebastian, it even made watching the news more pleasant. Ciel wiggled his head under Sebastian's chin and snuggled in as a reporter came on to replace the idiotic politicians.

The headline on the report read 'Head of Software Company Found Dead', the letters a mocking bright red. Ciel shook his head, listening as the reporter announced the police's suspicion of foul play, possibly an attack from an apposing company. "The things people will do for money."

Sebastian's body tensed and he reached over to shut the television off. He heard Ciel protest that he was watching, but ignored them for the time being. His head lowered and he pressed his lips to Ciel's neck, trailing kisses up the pale column.

"Its depressing," he muttered and slipped his fingers past Ciel's shirt. They teased the soft skin as they danced across the surface, drawing low moans from Ciel.

"Bastard," Ciel muttered as he turned his head to nip at Sebastian's throat. His lavishing of Sebastian's neck increased in vigor as hot fingers brushed over blushing nipples. Their movements were lazy, neither in much of a hurry. Tonight they could just enjoy each other's company and the pleasure they could give.

Sebastian's hips rolled slowly, enjoying the pace that they were moving at. It made everything slowly mount and build, their bodies growing hotter as they continued to touch each other. His head bent forward, capturing Ciel's lips in a kiss while he continued to tease the hard nipples.

Nimble hands reached for the buttons on Sebastian's shirt, undoing them bit by bit. Ciel wanted to feel the soft flesh and hard muscles of Sebastian's chest under his fingertips. His palm slide over a toned pectoral, feeling the steady beat of a heart that rested deep within. The sporadic beating increased as Ciel ground his hips down, rocking steadily and adding just enough pressure to tease. He couldn't help but smirk as he lick and kissed along Sebastian's neck, tasting the spicy skin.

"You taste good," Ciel breathed as he began working the flawless flesh, turning it a pretty purple.

Humming, Sebastian pushed the shirt up Ciel's back, revealing more pale skin until he could finally pull it over his head. He licked his lips at the naked chest before him and started to nip and suck at the skin presented to him. His erection strained against his pants and their rocking hips only helped to add the much needed friction.

His hips bucked as Ciel bit down harshly on his skin and a low hiss left his mouth at the small sting. "Little vampire," Sebastian muttered and let his hands trail down Ciel's back until they could grab Ciel's ass.

A groan passed through Ciel's lips. His body arched forward, hips rolling in hard smooth thrusts. He could feel Sebastian's cock press into his inner thigh with each downward movement. With his shirt now gone, Ciel went to fully rid Sebastian of his own. The crisp button up was pushed from the older man's shoulders, down his arms, and left to fall around them on the couch.

Their bare chests rubbed and Ciel breathed deeply into Sebastian's ear. "I think," he began, swallowing down a moan. "I think we need out of these pants." Ciel tugged at the infuriating barrier. He sent a quick glare towards Sebastian when he realized the other was wearing a belt.

Sebastian chuckled at the glare and went to remove the belt before Ciel tried to rip it off his pants. In a quick movement, the leather strap was undone and he lifted his hips as Ciel removed his pants. He could see a fine eyebrow arch at the lack of boxers on his person and he could only shrug.

"They got a little dirty earlier," he admitted and worked the button on Ciel's pants.

Ciel could only smirk as he allowed Sebastian to remove his pants and boxers. "Glad to know that you and your hand got to spend some quality time together," he said with a devilish grin.

The clothes dropped to the ground and Sebastian wrapped his fingers around his own hard length. "Maybe you should put that sassy mouth of yours to good use," Sebastian murmured as his other hand rested on Ciel's hip.

"What do you have in mind?" Ciel leaned forward and nipped at Sebastian's bottom lip, sucking it in and initiating a quick kiss. He pulled back, loving the way Sebastian's eye turned the color of rich red wine. It was such a rare color, eyes the color of blood, and Ciel cherished every moment he had them directed solely at himself.

"Turn around," Sebastian answered. He watched as Ciel gave him a strange look before shifting around and sitting back down on his hips. Their erections brushed together, drawing a low moan from both of them. Ciel's head turned around, looking at him over his shoulder and Sebastian smirked at the look on his face.

Ciel allowed himself to be maneuvered around as Sebastian twisted on the couch bringing his feet up and laying down across the cushions, his head against the arm rest. Pale hands gripped at Ciel's hips and the young man raised an eyebrow, no longer certain of where this was going. He allowed himself to straddle Sebastian's hips, his ass rubbing against the hard cock beneath him.

Once settled, Sebastian pulled Ciel's hips back, bringing them closer to his face. The younger male gripped at his legs in order to keep his balance as his body hovered over Sebastian's. With a low hum, Sebastian lightly ran his fingers over Ciel's erection before guiding it to his mouth.

"Wha-what are you doing?" Ciel's head snapped back to watching as Sebastian lowered the boys erection into his awaiting mouth. A gasp and muttered words fell from Ciel's lips. His nails dug into Sebastian's toned thighs as he tried to make sense of what was going on. Sebastian's mouth on his cock felt wonder, it always felt wonderful. The pleasure building within him had Ciel dropping his head; his neck muscles were turning to goo.

His eyes shot open, hot flesh pressed against his cheek leaving sticky wetness in it's wake. Ciel glanced to his left, seeing Sebastian's cock rubbing against his face. One roll of the older man's hips and the head of the erection was catching at the corner of Ciel's lips. Ciel's pink tongue darted out on instinct to lap at the pre-cum. The action caused Sebastian to emit a low moan.

It was then that Ciel, through his lust filled mind, realized the full implications of what was just beginning to transpire. He could help but smile at such a lude act. Who had ever come up with a thing like this? Ciel opened his mouth, allowing Sebastian's length to pass by his lips on the next upward thrust. His tongue tangled around the head and Ciel sucked, moaning as Sebastian reciprocated the action.

Sebastian's tongue swirled around the tip of Ciel's erection, groaning low as Ciel sucked on his length. Hips bucked slightly before they were held down by a steady hand and teeth grazed across his tip in a warning.

He continued to tease Ciel, pressing his tongue into the slit before swallowing around the hard length. It made Ciel's thighs tremble next to his head and Sebastian ran his hands down them, soothing the younger male.

Ciel momentarily gagged as a rather harsh suck to his cock forced him to arch forward, driving Sebastian's erection deep into his throat. He pulled back, taking deep breaths before going back to work. This form of pleasuring Sebastian was still new to Ciel, and he could never quite get the hang of it. How Sebastian made it look so easy, Ciel would never know.

One hand moved from the hip it had been holding. It grazed over flawless skin till it made contact with the velvet mounds at the base of Sebastian's cock. Ciel kneaded them, all the while sucking insistently. Pre-cum was thoroughly coating his tongue, and he knew that Sebastian must have been experiencing the same at his end.

Shivering, Sebastian pulled away from Ciel's cock and licked his way down to the tightly drawn balls. He skipped over them in favor of spreading apart the firm globes of Ciel's ass and revealing the tight little pucker. He ran his nail over it and felt Ciel's body jerk in surprise, his neck twisting so he could look over his shoulder at him.

Ciel looked right back, a smoldering look passing between the two. Sebastian's cock pressed against the side of his face, cum smearing a glistening trail down his cheek and to his chin. "Don't do that." The words were whispered, Ciel didn't have much vocal ability at the moment to talk much louder.

"No?" Sebastian asked, and slowly rubbed Ciel's ass but made sure to stay away from the small area. Ciel's body was drawn tight and every time his fingers drifted too close to Ciel's anus, the younger male would tense up even more.

Dark ash hair spiraled back and forth as Ciel shook his head. The action sent more wetness across his face. His tongue snaked out and licked bitter cum from his lips. Ciel brought his hand back to Sebastian's cock and absently stroked it.

Seeing that Ciel wasn't going to back down from the subject anytime soon, Sebastian let his hands move back down the pale thighs. He licked at the tip of Ciel's cock, drawing a small shiver from the younger male as he lapped at the cum.

"Tasty?" Ciel mirrored the movement, licking his fingers clean on the pearly substance. His hands went right back to work. Picking up a quick and purposeful pace.

"Delicious," Sebastian answered and sucked in the tip again. He hummed around the length, drawing a strangled cry from Ciel and smirked before continuing his actions. It wouldn't take much to push the younger male over the edge right now; they were both close.

Growling, Ciel kissed and nipped up the cock presented in front of him. His own hips were trying to buck and push further into Sebastian's mouth. Everything was beginning to get heated and fogged. Lust was clouding his senses, pushing him to meet an end, both for himself and for Sebastian.

"Yes, that's it." His thighs quivered as a tongue dug into the slit of his cock. Ciel involuntarily tightened his hand around Sebastian, the action almost harsh.

Sebastian bucked into the grip, the bit of pain adding to his arousal. He dragged his teeth over the tip of Ciel's cock and felt him shiver more. He smirked, knowing that the younger male was close and he relaxed his throat before swallowing around the length.

There wasn't much more holding Ciel back from finding an end to this building pleasure. Feeling Sebastian's throat constrict around him was almost too much to take. The man knew how to work a cock with his mouth. It only took one final suck before Ciel was coming with a squeak. He buried his face between Sebastian's thighs talking nonsense as he came down from his high, all the while his petite hand keep up it's furious work.

Giving the sensitive tip one last suck, Sebastian let the spent cock fall from his mouth. He could feel Ciel's panting breath over his cock while his hand worked to bring him to completion. A few more strokes had his body tensing before he came, his hips bucking as he rode out his orgasm.

Sebastian's cum coated Ciel's face, clinging to his hair and dripping down along his throat. For the moment Ciel couldn't bring himself to care. His hand slipped from the softening member to lay on a taunt stomach. Blue eyes rolled to the side, looking Sebastian up and down for a moment. The man's head was peaking out from behind Ciel's ass. It was a rather humorous sight that Ciel found himself giggling at.

Finding his strength, Ciel maneuvered himself into a more manageable position which allowed Sebastian to sit up as well. He grimaced when he noticed the state of his body, especially his face.

"Gross," was all Ciel said as he wiped his face with the back of his hand.

"You could have swallowed," Sebastian commented, earning him a mock glare. With a small chuckle, he leaned forward and started to lick the cooling cum off Ciel's face. Hands quickly batted his face away and Ciel stumbled off the couch.

He could hear the younger male moving into the hall bathroom before the water started to run. It was amusing to Sebastian, that an art student would worry about being so clean when he worked with messy mediums all day.

Running a hand through his hair, Sebastian tossed the blank television one last look before collecting their clothes. He turned the light off as he padded into the bedroom where he grabbed some clean boxers. He cleaned his own body off before getting ready for bed.

When Ciel entered the bedroom, towel messily trying to dry his hair, he found Sebastian lounging on the bed. The man's eyes were closed, but Ciel was not stupid enough to believe that he was actually sleeping. He tossed the towel onto one the floor, he would pick it up in the morning, and headed towards the bed. The soft mattress gave way under his knee as he hoisted himself up.

"Tired?" Ciel asked as he laid beside Sebastian on top of the plush duvet.

Sebastian's eye opened and he shrugged. "It's been a long day," he answered and leaned back into the pillows more. Soot was curled up next to him, her tail twitching in her sleep. Running a hand over her small body, he turned to Ciel and brushed a stray strand of hair out of his face.

"Do you have a busy day tomorrow?"

Ciel sniffled, holding back a sneeze. "I have an exam I need to prepare for and finish up a project for my design class. So it'll probably be a little hectic." The need to sneeze left him, but was soon replaced by a yawn. "How about you?" The pull of sleep was calling and Ciel wiggled himself under the blankets, pulling the covers up and letting Sebastian slide in as well.

An annoyed cry came from Soot when Sebastian moved under the covers, the action upsetting her spot. Sebastian shushed her and moved further under the covers, pressing cold feet against Ciel. Ciel kicked him and he chuckled before finally settling down and figuring out a way to answer the question.

"It'll be busy," he finally answered. "Lot's of appointments have been scheduled this week."

Ciel nodded against Sebastian's chest. It was cold, a fact only made more apparent by Ciel's current lack of clothes. He hadn't bother dressing, his only clothes laying in a heap on the living room floor.

"You want me to come over and give you some company? I can bring lunch," Ciel suggested. "It's not like I can't study at your parlor."

Sebastian shook his head. "It'd probably be better if you stayed at school and studied. It'll be quieter there." He pressed a chaste kiss to Ciel's lips. "I'll take a rain check though."

Ciel opened his mouth to argue, but decided against it. He was tired and Sebastian was probably right. Knowing himself, Ciel would probably get distracted by whatever tattoo or design the older man was working on. A dull library was more suited for studying then a first rate tattoo parlor.

"Fine, but you owe me." They both snuggled into the blankets. Ciel turned to press his back into Sebastian's chest. He didn't even utter a complaint as Soot curled herself on top of them. A small sneeze left Ciel's lips, but his allergies remained placid the rest of the night. Perhaps the over exposure was actually doing more help then harm. At the moment it didn't matter, sleep was too thick in his boggled mind to make much sense of anything. With one last sigh he gave way to rest and dreams while cuddled into Sebastian's warmth.

At seven, the first rays of light shinned into the bedroom, casting light on Sebastian's face. He grunted and glared at them before shifting in the bed. He wanted to go back to sleep, but a warm paw on his cheek reminded him that he had prior commitments.

He slipped out of the bed and moved around the room, gathering the things he'd need for day before pausing at the side of the bed. Ciel was buried under the pile of blankets, with only a small bit of hair visible. Deciding not to risk waking him up, Sebastian set the alarm clock that rested on the nightstand table before sweeping out of the room.

The loud buzzing was quickly growing on Ciel's nerves. He was half tempted to pelt a pillow at Sebastian's head for taking this long to shut the alarm up. Another minute passed of irritating noise and Ciel just couldn't take it anymore.

He shot up in bed, turning over to where Sebastian slept. An angry lecture was about to spill from his lips, as well as some choice names, but it all died at the tip of his tongue. Chartreuse eyes stared calmly back at him, and Soot gave a small mew in greeting.

Ciel snapped his neck back to the clock, shutting it off quickly. A hand raked through his hair, free it of tangles. "Sebastian!" he called, hoping to hear an answer. It wasn't normal for the man to just up and leave so early in the morning, especially without saying good bye to Ciel.

No answer was given, and Ciel forced himself to stumble out of bed. It was already nearing ten, and he had a class to get ready for at eleven. At least Sebastian had cared enough to set the alarm for him. Part of him hoped for the cliché note on the night stand, but it was empty of any trifle.

"I don't suppose you know where he got off to?" Soot twitched her tail and continued to ignore the boy. Ciel scoffed at even thinking of asking the cat. With a heavy sigh, he went about getting ready for class. He grabbed his clothes from the living room, and borrowed at pair of clean boxers from Sebastian's drawer.

Ciel dug his phone from his pants, flipping through his texts to see if Sebastian had at least sent him one out of courtesy. Nothing. Becoming frustrated, Ciel typed in a short but to the point message conveying his feelings at the moment. He sent it to Sebastian and re-pocketed the phone. Hopefully he would hear from the other man shortly.

Grabbing his things, Ciel gave the house one last look. With a shake of his head he left, locking the door with the spare key.

Perhaps he would have to pay Sebastian a visit at work after all.
