Hello my dear readers. The next chapter waits for you to read it. I may upload a few more chapters tomorrow because I think I'm going to have a busy week. Reviews are welcome as always.
CIEL
The sun shined through the windows as Ciel hid his face in the pillow. "Young master, it's time to wake up. You fell asleep in your chair…again. I think you should stop overworking yourself." Sebastian simply suggested as he started getting Ciel's tea ready. The boy rolled over and groaned.
Sebastian always moved him when he fell asleep in his chair. The older man always stated that he would get grumpy if he woke up from sleeping uncomfortably."Mm...just a few more minutes." Sebastian sighed. Today Ciel had to see Elizabeth, which he absolutely dreaded, so he was in no hurry.
"But your tea shall get cold and then you would most likely have a fit about it." Ciel rubbed his eyes and sat up. Maybe he'll just drink his tea very slowly. His future wife could wait all she wanted.
Wait a minute. He looked down. He was in his child body? That means…he looked up to see his butler standing there, with that stupid smirk on his face. Ciel started to reach out to him.
"Master, is something wrong?" Before he could respond to the demon, he was abruptly shot back into reality.
"CIEL!" He awakened to his name being shouted in his ears and strong arms shaking his shoulders. He sat up and pushed the man off of him.
A glare was shot up at his guard dog. "Lux, why are you disturbing me?" Ciel really couldn't tell the expression on the man's face. Lux really needed a hair cut in his opinion.
"Boss, I've been trying to contact you forever! You weren't answering your phone, I didn't get any responds to the texts I sent you…I got worried about you! What if you were beat up in a dark alley or something?" He offered Ciel a bottle of water, which he gladly took because his throat was extremely dry.
"Relax. I just fell asleep on the ground for a few hours. Couldn't get much sleep at the apartment." Ciel explained. He didn't see why Lux was so worried. He was a big boy and could handle himself.
"Uh, boss? You're on a bench…not the ground." What? He looked down, the way he did in his dream, his body was there – but it was now in a different place. How'd I get…
Ciel couldn't understand it. Should he be confused or worried? Was he becoming crazy? "Lux. I think I'm being stalked." Lux burst out laughing.
"This isn't funny! I'm serious! I swear to you, I was on the ground when I fell asleep. Why would someone just randomly move me?" The red headed demon stopped laughing and sat down next to him.
"That automatically doesn't mean you're being stalked. Maybe someone thought you looked uncomfortable and moved you." Ciel smirked. No one would dare to move me from a place, except that idiot Sebastian. Wait, that dream…
Ciel got up from the bench and looked around. Not that he saw anything out of the ordinary, but he could surely feel it. "Yes, they most likely thought I was uncomfortable and decided to move me so I wouldn't be an asshole."
"But boss, you're always an asshole?" Another glare was shot at Lux. "Well it's true…" Ciel sighed and crossed his arms.
"I think an old friend of mine is stalking me." Lux tilted his head towards the bossy demon, it was his way of giving him a confused look.
"Old friend? Are they a good friend or a bad friend? Is it some psychotic ex-girlfriend? Is she hot?" He got up and stood next to Ciel and looked around also.
Ciel chuckled. "It's not a she. By old friend, I mean old contract. By old contract, I mean only contract. By only contract I mean-" Lux finished the sentence for him.
"-That high leveled demon who is obsessed with cats. Boss, I'm not sure if I can handle him if he's up to no good. I'm not a fan of cats." Well I'm not a fan of cats either, but I still had to put up with that devil butler.
"I don't think he's trying to cause trouble. I think he's just trying to be creepy." Like always. The damn fool. Lux stomach began to growl loudly. "Can we continue this conversation at the café or something? I need something to eat."
Ciel nodded. It seemed like a good idea, he was starting to feel a bit hungry anyway. It wasn't really food wise but it would do enough for now.
The café wasn't too far from the park and they arrived at the place in a matter of minutes. They took a table in the back. Ciel ordered Earl Grey tea and a croissant while Lux just ordered a coffee and a few doughnuts.
"Honestly, is that tea stuff any good? I much rather coffee. Tea seems way too formal for some reason, then again you come from a much more formal background then me." He wasn't really sure how to take the fact on how he was "formal", Lux made it sound like Ciel was some kind of prince.
"How could you have not had tea? Are you mental?" Ciel wouldn't doubt it if the man was. He wouldn't even be surprised. "I am not mental! You're the one who's all up in here thinking your old boyfriend is moving where you sleep. I think he's the one who's very much mental."
A few people stared back at them. "Keep your voice down you buffoon. People are staring." Lux huffed and rested his head on his hand.
"Who cares? Anyway~ tell be about your boyfriend." Now Ciel was starting to get another headache.
He started taking bites of his croissant and sipping of his tea. "He's not my boyfriend, nor ever was. He was my butler-" Lux cut him off again while two other people took the table next to theirs.
"-Slave monkey. Alright. What's his deal?" Are you kidding me? Has this guy ever had any sort of contract ever?
"Stop interrupting me or I'm going to shove those doughnuts down your throat. Anyway, I really don't know his deal. But I believe Sebastian was at my party the other night as well." Lux slowed moved his doughnuts closer to himself.
"Why do you believe that?" He asked as he stuffed a doughnut in his mouth. "I…um…saw his eyes staring at me?" Ciel didn't exactly know how to put it.
The red head started choking on his doughnut from his laugher. Eventually he swallowed it and spoke up. "His eyes? What color are his eyes?"
Ciel shifted in seat. "Well, they're red…" Gorgeous, and are extremely hard to look away from. Lux just sat there silent for awhile.
"Boss…I hate to break this to you. But a lot of demons have red eyes…that could've been anyone." He stuffed another doughnut in his mouth. Ciel stared in disgust.
"Lux, you don't understand. I know that man's eyes from anyone else's." I know them like the back of my hand. It's truly hard to forget them no matter how hard I try. Shit, it's hard to forget anything about that demon.
Finishing his croissant and his tea, he stared out the window. He probably sounded weak and foolish to the other man right now. For some reason, he didn't feel like caring. "I'm guessing the rumors are true and you really did have a close bond with him…"
Close bond? Ciel thought back to the time when Sebastian took that picture of him while he was sleeping. Sebastian told him he felt honored. Was that how he truly felt though? Lux continued. "Maybe he misses you?"
What. A. Joke. Human or demon, his place in Sebastian's life was gone. Sebastian had no reason to contact him again. That demon had no emotions. He shook his head. "No." With that said, he placed a few bucks on the table and left.

Phantomhive. Whur da fuk are youz? Shutting his phone shut, he threw it on the bed as he went to get changed. Shit. I completely forgot about meeting Drake.
Jeans and a tank seemed to fit him at the moment. It was now the afternoon and it was pretty hot out. His hair looked like a mess, he really tried his best with it.
Moving into the bathroom, he got a Q-tip and cleaned his industrial quick. I still don't understand why I even got this done. He stared at himself in the mirror. I really haven't changed much since we parted, have I Sebastian?
Silly that he ever though a mirror was going to answer the question, Ciel rinsed his face off. He heard his phone go off again. Ciel approached the bed and grabbed the phone. Ciel! Answer mai texts wen I text youz!
He entered a reply and sent it. Chill, be there in 5. Shoving his phone in his pocket he made his way down the stairs and out the door once again.
SEBASTIAN
Sebastian hummed to himself. I miss human realm cats. They were so much cuter. "You're thinking about your stupid cats again, aren't you?" Will hissed. "We have a job to do. Would you pay attention more if we put Ciel in a cat suit?"
Now that's something to see… Sebastian smirked at the thought. Will glared at him. "You. Are. A. Pervert." Grell giggled and rested his head on Will's shoulder. "But that's how I like him."
Rolling his eyes, Will shifted his attention back to the café. "It looks like they're discussing something very interesting." Sebastian stared at Ciel. He was one hell of a butler but he wasn't good at reading lips from far away.
At a point, Ciel's body language clearly stated that he was feeling uncomfortable. Eventually he just got up and left as fast as he could. "I wonder who the red head is." Sebastian thought aloud.
"Most likely another one of his gang members. I want to say they were talking about the whole Drake figure, but Ciel looked way too uncomfortable to just be discussing that." That's when Grell when into another fit of giggles.
"Maybe he feels awkward when talking about sex~" Will shot a glare at him. "Grell, if the boy can grind up against some random chick, then I highly doubt he feels awkward with sex."
For some reason, Sebastian felt anger and jealousy. Are you actually like that? He couldn't be. Whenever he got close to the boy before, his cheeks would get all red and he'd try to get away.
Ciel is 18 now…I shouldn't be surprised…why am I getting so angry over this? Sebastian leaned back against the wall and let out a breath. Would you allow me to get close to you now? He actually felt like he almost blushed. Does he think about me like this as well?
"Something wrong, demon?" Sebastian glanced over at the reaper. "Everything's fine." If I still had a contract with Ciel, I would know the answers to all of my questions.
