Guests were arriving like flies. One couple after another walked in through the Phantomhive door with bright cheerful smiles and rosy red cheeks. The women wore elegant ball dresses of all different colors. Some decorated with flowers, others with strings of lace on ever edge. Men dressed in formal suits, mostly black. Together, each pair moved swiftly across the dance floor with grace. No one so far seemed unusual. Other than that prince who filled Ciel with the worst memories, thus why he didn't wear that same dress or wig for sure!

For hours everything was normal. No one took a step out of place until midnight. Thunder crashed, louder than the music playing. Lightning stuck outside the window. All of this made it seem as if something or someone was coming. Ciel watched intently at each individual as he sulked at his small throne next to Sebastian. Sebastian too was eying people, marking them with his glare.

"Anything yet?" Ciel asked impatiently as he began to tap his toe.

"Nothing my young master…." Sebastian whispered back.

The two Phantomhive's remained silent for minutes. Watching, waiting… But nothing, nothing at all was out of the ordinary! Ciel was beginning to become impatient. Sebastian too was feeling a slight irritation by waiting for so long. Eventually Ciel stood up.

"What is to your inconvenience mistress Phantomhive?" Sebastian asked ever so politely.

Ciel shot him a glare. "I'm bored," he stated. "I'm going to go somewhere that is quiet."

"But mistress, I must insist you don't leave this gathering. You are required to be at it no matter what," Sebastian said with a smile. Ciel's response was gritting his teeth. He was sweating from the thick atmosphere; his temples were throbbing in anger at the rules of gatherings such as these. He wanted to get out of that room as fast as he could.

Deciding to ignore Sebastian's words, Ciel began to walk away, holding his skirt up to do so. Sebastian caught sight of Ciel's escape, as did many others around them. Ciel stopped suddenly. He emitted a high gasp. Sebastian took his young masters hand in his. "May I have this dance M'lady?" He asked, bowing to Ciel.

Ciel blushed. He wasn't a lady! The room was silent. Ciel felt all the eyes staring at them. He had no choice but to accept. So he did. Sebastian smirked and twirled Ciel down the stairs to the dance floor where the crowd among them stepped aside. Ciel was never so embarrassed in his life. He didn't know how to dance barely and everyone was watching! Oh, how he wanted to faint then and there, never have to worry about messing up in front of everyone there… Faint he felt close to coming to.

Without hesitation they were moving swiftly. Ciel stumbled to every step. He struggled to keep paced with the butler of his. Everything was so fast. Ciel felt sweat streaming down his face as he tried at his best to keep up with Sebastian's movements. But either way Ciel was not happy about the sudden approach. He didn't know how to dance and his butler knew very well too. Yet he pulled him into the center of attention with ease. There was no way that Ciel was to let this slip by him. Sebastian was definitely going to get it after this.

Then Ciel's mind was brought back to senses. Sebastian kissed him, passionately. Ciel felt the dry heat bursting through his body. Ciel gulped and deepened the kiss, unwillingly, or that was what he believed. He closed his eyes, and as if on cue, they both stopped. They stood there. Ciel clutched the back of Sebastian's tail coat. Sebastian left the kiss. For a moment, Ciel's blue eye met Sebastian's red ones. There was a bond; it wasn't a swallow contract that would remain meaningless to them. There was caring. Ciel, though he wouldn't dare admit it, cared for Sebastian, so much as to love him. More than he should…

"Now my mistress," Sebastian said calmly. "Might we bring this ball to a close?"

The younger boy nodded quickly, still remembering they were in the middle of a crowd of people. "Y-yes… We should…" he mumbled. Ciel stepped back suddenly. This action even caught Sebastian's attention.

"S-sebastian…?" Ciel mumbled weakly before falling back right into Finny's arms. Finnian looked up to Sebastian with fear. "What has happened to her sir?" he cried.

Sebastian sighed and took Ciel from the distraught servant. "I will take her. If you and the others would kindly lead them out that is."

"O-of course Sir!" Finny stuttered. The young blonde ran back into the crowd, out of sight.

Ciel looked up to Sebastian, glaring. He was furious. Not that he was kissed by Sebastian, but that it was in public! Ciel resisted the urge to slap his butler, simply he held his glare. "Take me to my room… That's an order…" he whispered.

"Of course young master…"

!Yaoi Warning! Don't read unless there is parental guidence or you are over 18 thank you!

Sebastian smiled. He undressed the Ciel, tossing the clothes aside and assembling the white button-up night shirt. Ciel blushed, still angered about the dance that evening. He was to give Sebastian the punishment he deserved for such an act.

SMACK

Both pairs of eyes were wide. Ciel continued to pant in the silence that surrounded them. Sebastian's gaze was locked to the side, his pale cheek turned red. And when he turned back to Ciel another hand was held high ready to give its final blow to the other cheek.

SMACK

"How dare you take me to dance in front of all those people? Are you out of your mind? I can't dance and I think you fully recognize th-!" Ciel was cut off by the silk gloved finger against his lips. Sebastian smirked and lifted the boys chin with a quick glide. Ciel blushed again, unintentionally allowing his servant to move closer. Their lips were so close, yet so far. Ciel's insides were burning; control was absolutely unbearable. Sebastian grabbed Ciel's wrists tight. He lunged forward and brought the boy into a passionate kiss. Ciel's body trembled. He was confused and a little bit scared. Out of all he wasn't sure if he was to be angry or not.

"Ciel…" Sebastian whispered, gliding his hand down the boy's cheek as Ciel strained to keep his eyes shut. "You are rather cute when you look like this…"

Ciel frowned and tried to pull away. "Sebastain…" he moaned in a beautiful tone that sent Sebastian over the edge. He took the boy in his arms firmly and kissed down his smooth neck. Ciel moaned aloud. "Sebastian… Ugnn…"

The air grew hot between them. Sebastian unbuttoned Ciel's night shirt and ran his silk covered hands over his chest. Ciel mewled lovingly, shivering under such a cold touch. "Sebastian… please… i-it tickles…" Ciel whined.

"Even in this state you act as a child. Still so innocent," Sebastian noted as he caressed Ciel's back.

Soon enough the shirt itself fell off onto the bad. Ciel took a deep breath as his bare skin was fully exposed. Sebastian on the other hand kept rubbing… touching Ciel. His legs, his arms… every part of him was delicious in the man's eyes. And tonight, for sure it was all his. Ciel cringed when Sebastian's hand made its way down his front. His slim fingers wrapped around the boys throbbing ecrection, pumping down his shaft with grace. Ciel winced as a gush of heat flew through him as if never had before. The boys mouth was dry, he couldn't speak.

Ciel tangled his fingers in the sleek mass of Sebastian's black locks. Sebastian smiled, lowring his head toward the boy's manhood to kiss its tip. Ciel tightened his grip on Sebastian's hair; his head was brought back. Sweat incased the both of them; drops flinging around with each sudden movement. Ciel cried out as Sebastian's hand pumped faster along Ciel's hard length. Another cry arose from Ciel's lips as he squeezed. Sebastian was satisfied with Ciel's reaction, it was addicting to Sebastian. He wanted to make the young master beg for more, beg for release. He would force his master to call his name.

The candle lights grew dimmer yet from the heating moisture building within the bedroom walls. Ciel called out louder than ever as he reached his release. "S-sebastian! I-I'm.. co-" he broke off with a squeal of pleasure. Sebastian smirked and let go of his young masters relieved manhood. Ciel panted. He blushed a bright shade of pink embarrassment, knowing that he had came fairly early. Sebastian didn't seem to mind though, telling from the way he licked Ciel clean from the cream across his thighs. Actually he seem pleased.

"A dry release huh? Very interesing young master," Sebastian uttered with his ever so divious smirk. "You seem very tired. Prehaps we can continue this game another night?"

Ciel blinked once or twice with his dropped eyelids. True, he was exhausted from thier foreplay. Never before had he experienced such passion, such anxiety before. It was a new experience for the young Phantomhive, a good one at that. Not that he would dare admit it.

It was as if Sebastian could tell that Ciel enjoyed their private time. He smirked and stood up. "Now you should rest young master. You seem at need for sleep," Sebastain said as he picked up the once discarded clothing on the floor. "Would you like me to situate you in your bed?" he asked; his hand attempting to move the covers beneath Ciel. Ciel smacked his hand away calmly.

"I can do it myself..." He said rather quietly, forcing his gaze away from the servant above him.

"Of course young master. Then I will be back momentarily." Sebatian said before making his way out the door. Ciel stared in Sebastian's direction for a few second then finally moved under the blankets. As he lay there he thought about what had just happened between them. It was, nice, to say the least. He wanted more... more touches, more strong emotion. But still with his built pride, he wasn't going to admit it. If Sebastian wanted him, then he would have to catch him first, Ciel was going to play hard to get.

Without further ado Sebastian returned to Ciel's room to bid him a final goodnight. Ciel watched intently. Sebastian walked forward toward the bed and removed the boy's eyepatch. "Tis better this way, you look better without it when sleeping young master," Sebastian whispered. Ciel didn't respond, he looked away and blushed. "Goodnight... Sebastain..." he muttered.

"Goodnight my young master," Sebastian replied. He kissed Ciel's forehead and blew out the candles.

Night trailed on. Ciel had awakened. Since, he lay awake in his room, wondering about the dance that evening. What had possibly gone wrong? They had the perfect plan. Was it not good enough? Did he just not think of the right thing? Usually, everything worked out. But this time… something went wrong.

Another rain storm had started. The howling wind made Ciel flinch. Screams of the dying people came vivid to him. His mother and his father, were they ever scared of thunderstorms? Did they ever fear that the flames of hell might engulf them too? Ciel clutched his sheets. His window was covered in splats of rain. They slid down its surface slowly, like tears down a cheek. Wind changed their course easily with every gust. Could people be like that? Ciel thought as he sat up.

Lightning struck right outside the window, leaving a mark on the ground. Ciel cringed. If only it had come closer… then what? Would the house catch fire? Ciel thought. Another strike blasted before his very eyes in its full blue electric glory. Ciel's heart skipped a beat. The room started to smell like smoke. The dimmed light became dimmer until Ciel couldn't even see his own legs. It became harder to breathe for the young boy. Black thick smoke clouded everything. Ciel was in panic now. Did the lightning actually hit the household? Was everyone okay?

"Hello…?" Ciel managed to pipe up after shaking. No one answered him. He felt alone. Sebastian was gone, Mey-Rin, Finnian, Bard, even Tanaka… all of them weren't there. Ciel was all alone.

"Seba-!" Ciel choked. He tried to call for help but his breath was cut short by the smog in his throat.

Suddenly a hand reached over the coughing Phantomhive. It wasn't white, but black. It wasn't Sebastian… No one he knew…Ciel took in a last breath of fumed toxins. His vision faded… Is mind swirled…the next thing he knew, he was outside in the arms of an unknown stranger. He looked up. The house broke out in flames…He had seen this before… The screams, the cries, they all flooded his mind. Ciel's mouth was covered; he had no chance of calling for Sebastian, nor any one else, that is if they were still alive...

The dark sky reeked of burning. The Phantomhive manor fell apart before young Ciel's eyes. The eyes of night ciel that were crying… crying for the first time in a long time.

I'm sorry about the yaoi... for those who liked it that is. It was a little slopy and rushed so please forgive me! I'll try to make a better one if you want :)

Ciel means sky in french for those who did not know so thus why tis uncapitolized in the last sentance.
