A/N: I'm glad to say this chapter is done with. I'll be editing this sometime tomorrow, so try to be lenient with my mistakes. I wanted to get this up with ASAP because I've been a lazy ass and haven't uploaded recently. I hate my busy life （╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ I can't wait to write the next chapter though!

Until then, enjoy and review.

Chapter Ten

Light streaming in from between a crack in the curtains warmed Ciel's face to an uncomfortable degree, stirring the sleeping teen awake. He twitched under it before peeking through a heavily lidded eye, only to groan and roll over. There was no need to glance at the alarm on the bedside table for him to guess that it was sometime near when he usually had to get up. As if on cue his alarm cried out shrilly, prompting his hand to shoot out from the protection of his blankets to slam down on the off button.

Ciel flopped over onto his back and stared blankly up at the ceiling. Half of him had the mind to ignore the calling of his alarm and go back to sleep. He wasn't usually one for fanciful escapes and dreaming, however dreams did offer an actual escape from facing the embarrassment. A grimace worked a way onto his face as he groaned lowly, the reminder his latest faux pas coming flickering to life behind his lowered lids.

Yes, sleeping sounded tempting now.

Sebastian- he'd want answers sometime today about last night's sudden fleeing episode. That Ciel was sure of and he wouldn't expect anything else from the older male. He however didn't have those answers to provide. There wasn't really a lot that left him confounded, yet all those feelings that those ruby eyes had stirred awake when he'd stared at them left him at a lose. In that moment when those eyes were inches away the only reasonable option seemed to have been to run away.

Either that... or kiss the man senseless.

The idea of his lips moving in sync with the older male's was near maddening. Those attractively thin lips pressing firmly against his. His tongue sneaking in to completely devour his mouth whole. He could clearly imagine it now, the way he'd melt into complete submission underneath the older's touch. The images shooting heat straight down to his groin.

Ciel's thoughts came to an abrupt halt at the realization. His blue eye widened as he dared to allow his gaze to travel down to where the pile of blankets and sheets hid where a certain part of him was begging for attention.

No, No, No...

"Fuck," Ciel muttered, angry with himself for getting carried away and angry at the man behind the fantasies.

Shifting his weight he let out a small hiss and cursed himself with every foul word he could think of. Getting hard over just thinking about the man- it was just ridiculous as well as embarrassing. He hadn't thought of Sebastian like that, at least not until now. The older had been a bastard even on his best days, not exactly what Ciel would have thought himself attracted to.

Trying his best to ignore the way the cloth of his baggy sleep shorts rubbed against the sensitive skin creating a ghosting sensation of friction, Ciel dragged himself out of bed. It demanded for attention, but he wouldn't even consider touching himself. He hadn't sunken that low quite yet.

Spying the shower through the bathroom doorway, Ciel considered a cold shower would help to calm himself down. Glancing down once more, he decided to re-amend that thought. An iced bath sounded good.

Grabbing a fresh pair of clothes from out of the closet, he escaped into the privacy of his bathroom with every intention of soaking for however long it took. By the time he scrubbed himself clean the problem had passed and he quickly climbed out and went through the rest of his usual morning routine without another issue.

On the way to the kitchen, the teen ran through everything he had on schedule for today. Classes began in an hour, three of which he shared with his obnoxious blonde co-worker. He grimaced at the thought of telling Alois about Sebastian. The blonde would just love that, more than likely annoying him about it endlessly. Again he was prompted to reconsider why exactly he tolerated the other's company.

Putting a mug of hot water into the microwave, Ciel punched in the time and moved over to his cell phone to check for any messages while he waited. There was a moment he forgot to breath when he saw five unread messages and two missed calls. For a dreadful second the teen thought it might have been Sebastian chewing him out for last night peculiar behavior. The tension released and relief flooded his body when it was only Alois's name that flickered across the screen instead of a particular ravenette.

As the microwave beeped he decided to leave responding to the male for later and retrieved the steaming mug. Mixing in a packet of tea, he graded a scone from a container sitting on the counter top and settled on one of the bar stools by the counter.

Quiet mornings used to be a part of the routine for him, but the past month had been anything but. If it hadn't been Sebastian dragging him out of the apartment for a quick breakfast, it was Alois. Ciel had to admit he had taken the past month for granted. Company had never been something the boy had kept or envied, he liked his privacy. Now, when there was no noise or easy banter, the silence was almost deafening however. He found himself missing the company.

Scowling, Ciel glared down at the half eaten scone on his plate. What was he thinking? He didn't need anyone to live. He was fine on his own and the years since his father's death more than proved that. Hadn't he been alone ever since they laid his father into the earth? It wasn't as if Angela had been much of any company.

His mood turned sour, Ciel pushed the rest of his scone away and let out an annoyed sigh. First Sebastian and now this, he was ready to write himself off as temporarily delusional. Perhaps he had a fever...

The moment Ciel pressed his hand to his forehead the doorbell to his apartment rang. Sighing, Ciel dropped off the stool and stalked towards the doors. It had to be Alois, checking on him after he had ignored his texts and calls. Though that wasn't truthfully the case, it would be to the blonde.

"Alois, I was just about to respond. You don't need to come marc-," Ciel snapped as he opened the door, only to freeze midway through his rant as his sapphire eye took in the person standing behind it.

He was not Alois.

"Sebastian?"

The older male's name came out in a mortifying squeak, that had Ciel blushing crimson. Clearing his throat he tried again, "What are you doing here?"

Ignoring the question, the investigator stepped around Ciel and into the apartment. Ciel's eye followed him, a small scowl forming on his face as he shut the door and followed after him.

"Morning to you as well, Ciel," Sebastian chuckled, as he turned to smirk at the scowling teen.

"What are you doing here, Sebastian?" Ciel asked again, making a point of ignoring any proper greetings. It was easier to forget about the events of the night before when he was annoyed.

A look of amusement gleamed in the older male's scarlet eyes, sending them dancing and Ciel's stomach with them. Well there went the annoyance, he thought sourly; more annoyed with himself than anyone else at the moment.

"I came to pick you up," Sebastian replied flippantly.

Ciel's eye widened. "Was there another murder last night?"

A smirk crossed the older's face along with a low chuckle. "No."

"Something to do with the case?" Ciel pressed, confusion coloring his tone.

"Once again, no," Sebastian grinned, clearly amused by the whole thing. "We're going on a trip."

Ciel tried not to look stunned by the reveal, but was failing miserably. His eye had widened significantly in size and his pouting mouth had fallen agape. A trip? He couldn't remember ever agreeing to going on one or even the investigator mentioning one around him. Ciel couldn't even think of any hints that had been dropped within the past week. Coming up blank, he decided that Sebastian was playing a game with him.

Tearing himself back out his thoughts, Ciel looked back at Sebastian to find the older male disappearing into his room. Irritation caused his eyebrows to twitch as he followed behind him, sharp words ready to be set loose upon the older.

"What do you think you're doing?" He growled.

The older man was shifting through the contents of his closet, one of Ciel's duffle bags in his hands. Sapphire narrowed on pieces of his stuff being tossed carelessly into it. Every now and then the raven haired male would pause as he looked over the neatly hanging clothing before selecting something and moving on with the pattern.

Sebastian looked over his shoulder and smirked at the boy. "Packing."

"I didn't ever agree to go," Ciel snapped. "And hasn't anyone ever taught you that going through other people's things is rude."

"I vaguely recall something like that," Sebastian admitted with false innocence as he frowned at a shirt before tossing it into the bag in his hands.

"Then let me refresh that memory," Ciel retorted.

As he opened his mouth to continue the sound of the zipper cut him off sharply. He had barely a second to zone in on the bag before it came flying at his face. Reacting on reflexes alone, he caught it just before it crashed into him. He glared at the black fabric before lowering it and glaring at the older male. He's lucky that hadn't hit him, Ciel thought scathingly at he continued glaring daggers at Sebastian.

The older either wasn't affected by it or didn't see it as he chuckled and grabbed Ciel by the boy's shoulders. Wheeling him around, he began shoving the younger towards the door- much to Ciel's utter surprise.

"You can do that on the way there," Sebastian chirped cheerfully.

Ciel gapped as he was pushed into the elevator, the doors falling shut just as Sebastian leaned over to press the button for the lobby floor. He couldn't believe it. Anger was welling up in him red hot as he sneered at Sebastian. He had things to do, things to get done.

"I have classes that I can't miss," Ciel bit out. "I'll lose credit for them if I skip out on the whim of an idiot."

Sebastian looked triumphant as he glanced over at the younger with a sly grin that clearly read of his victory.

"I already called to inform your professors that you'd be busy for today and most of tomorrow and that sadly you wouldn't be able to attend any of your lectures," he informed him with a grin. "They agreed wholeheartedly when they learned of who was placing the request."

Ciel turned his face away from the older to pout at the elevator wall. Damn him.

"You shouldn't do that sort of thing without consulting me first," he grumbled out, though he knew it was a weak argument against the older.

Sebastian chuckled and leaned forward to tweak the younger's cheek with his forefinger and thumb just as the elevator slid open. "I only did what was necessary to get you to go. You wouldn't have agreed otherwise."

Ciel turned to scowl at him, briefly considering snapping at the hand that dared touch his cheek. He pushed the instinct aside, figuring how childish that would make him seem- and because it was something that he knew Alois would do. The blonde always had that quirk of sticking his tongue out a people, he of course claimed it was because he liked to show off his stupid tongue piercing but Ciel suspected that it was just childish behavior.

"I didn't agree this way either," he grumbled lowly, but even so Sebastian still heard.

The older male smirked and gently guided the other forward through the lobby. Ciel tried not to glance around when he felt the stares turning to them. A light dusting of pink sprinkled his cheeks at the attention. Ciel directed his gaze straight forward to avoid looking at any of their faces. These weren't the usual scornful glances and that was making it even more unnerving then usual. He could at least ignore those, these assuming gazes seemed to bore right into him. They followed him and Sebastian along their path across the lobby, some turning to whisper to their companion under their breath. The cobalt haired teen could easily make a guess at what they were saying and, quiet frankly, that mortified him all the more.

A gush of chilled air hit him in the face as they passed through the doors to the valet parking station outside the front of the building. Sebastian's car already sat idle under the awning a valet standing besides it with a pair of keys dangling from his fingers.

"Your car, Mr. Michaelis," the young man stated, as he held out the keys.

Sebastian took them and offered a thanks as he walked around the vehicle to the driver's side. Ciel watched him go, but remained firmly planted where the older male left him by the doors. He could easily run. Make a quick dash to the elevator and pray it'd get to him before Sebastian could. It was a reasonable thought, but there was one flaw. The older male wouldn't give up that easily. He'd probably march up to Ciel's room and stand by the door until the younger was forced to come out.

He couldn't understand why though. What had Sebastian so dead set on taking him for a trip? Ciel would have expected him to have avoided him after last night. It should have been embarrassing enough that he had seen the other nude, but Sebastian had already proven he could brush that off. However how could he forget about the awkward escape he performed when Sebastian had gotten too close? He had to have figured something out from that. Figured out that perhaps Ciel harbored... feelings for him?

Ciel worried his bottom lip at the thought. These weren't exactly thoughts he should be allowing himself to have. Sebastian was another male- he shouldn't even be considering him like that.

"Am I going to have to carry you into the car, Ciel?"

Said boy started as hot breath caressed his ear.

Close. Too close.

Ciel jumped backwards, falling against the passenger's side of Sebastian's car as the older male chuckled at his antics. He glowered at him, well at least someone was getting amusement from this.

"I'll be fine," he snapped, making a show of getting into the passenger seat.

He could faintly hear Sebastian laughing at him as the older moved around the exterior of the car to join him inside. Once comfortably seated, the older glanced over at Ciel before putting the car in gear and pulling out into the city traffic.

A few moments of silence passed, in which Ciel glowered out his window and watched the city blur past. It wasn't until he saw the towering buildings growing smaller and further apart did he consider where they were going. Thinking back on it, Sebastian hadn't mentioned anything about their destination. For all Ciel knew, the investigator could have been driving him off to the middle of nowhere to drop him off and leave him there as a cruel prank.

And as the first trees began to pass by in clumps, this fear began to become a dreadful reality.

"Sebastian...?" Ciel ventured, turning to glance at the raven haired male.

"Hmm?" The older hummed, inclining his head towards the younger to show he was listening.

"Where are we going?"

Sebastian's regarded Ciel for a moment before smirking and turning back to road. "You'll have to wait till we get there."

Ciel frowned. "You're not going to tell me?" He guessed, though he fully knew that the older had no intention of doing so.

"No."

Ciel turned to pout out the window. "You know this could be counted as kidnapping."

"However you got in the car willingly," Sebastian pointed out with a smirk.

"I hardly had a choice," Ciel retorted. "You would have carried me back to the car if I had run."

Amusement gleamed in the other's scarlet gaze. "I believe you think too highly of me."

Opening his mouth to retaliate, Ciel was cut off by the cell phone in his pocket going off. Abandoning the losing argument, the teen dug into his jean pockets for the phone. A low oath left his lips as Alois's name was displayed on the small screen. With the chaos Sebastian had created for him, he'd forgotten to send the blonde a text earlier. Knowing Alois, the older boy was probably freaking out right about now.

[Where the hell are you?]

Ciel sighed and slide a quick glance at Sebastian before typing out a response and sending it.

[I meant to get back to you earlier, but I got kidnapped.]

He probably shouldn't have sent that to Alois, but he couldn't resist the urge to mess with him and he did consider what Sebastian had done kidnapping. It would serve the older right if he got in any trouble because of this.

[Oh my god! Ciel, where are you? Are you alright? Who's got you? Should I call the police?]

Ciel smirked at the frantic text, well imaging the blonde pacing up and down with his fingers poised over the nine and one buttons. He slide a sly glance over to Sebastian, who was currently focused on the road, completely unaware of what Ciel was doing.

[Can you convince the police that their best investigator could commit a crime?]

The response was instant.

[WHAAAAAAAAT? You're with SEBASTIAN?]

Ciel sighed and took his time typing out his response. Alois would be eating up whatever he said next and no doubt jumping to the sorts of conclusions he shouldn't.

[Yes.]

Ciel barely had time to set the phone back down on his lap before it was vibrating again. Glancing down, his sapphire eye widened at the sight of all the messages pouring in. And the number kept on getting bigger as Alois kept texting the first things that kept popping into that frenzied head of his.

[WHERE?]

[WHY DID YOU NEVER TELL ME!]

[YOU & SEBASTIAN?]

[WAIT TILL THE OTHERS HEARS ABOUT THIS!]

[DETAILS!]

He didn't even dare go on to the read the rest, instead gave in with an audible sigh as he tucked the cell phone back into his pocket. The plan of getting Alois to take pity on him and have the boy come to get him, maybe even create some mess back in the city for Sebastian to deal with, had gone down the tubes. If anything it only served to backfire in his face. Alois would be waiting less-than-patiently for him to get back so that he could bagger him on things that were not going to happen.

Why did it seem that the world was against him?

Sebastian set the car into park and sat back with a inaudible sigh leaving his lips. He was more than glad the drive was over the anticipation of reaching their destination had been killing him. He'd been wanting to escape the city for weeks now, but the opportunity had just presented itself only recently. Bringing Ciel along had been spur of the moment rashness on his part, though Sebastian hoped the boy would forgive him for it. The events of the night before had left him with a terrible sense of guilt eating away at him. Ciel was sensitive about people invading his personal space and getting too close, Sebastian knew that, and couldn't help but believe that maybe he'd pushed a bit too far in those last few moments before the younger had fled. He wanted to make it up to him.

He glanced over at Ciel, smiling softly at the sight the boy made. Somewhere along the ride teen had succumbed to the lulling of the car and fallen asleep with his forehead resting against the passenger side window. The way his softly curved face had lost its hardened edge due to peaceful dreams was almost endearing. Full lips were no longer restrained into a firm scowl, but rather softened into a kissable line; eyebrows usually drawn together in annoyance were relaxed over shut eyes which hide the deep blue Sebastian had come to favor seeing over the past month- the younger had no idea the effect he had on the investigator who was having a hard time bringing himself to wake the other up. It seemed almost a sin to break such a beautiful picture.

"Ciel," Sebastian called softly, reaching out a hand to gently shake the other awake by the shoulder. "Ciel, you need to wake up. We're here."

A small mutter fell past the boy's pink lips, before a small hand came up to swat the older away. The display would have been cute had Ciel not screwed his face up as he attempted to roll away from the offender trying to awake him. Still Sebastian couldn't help but to chuckle under his breath as he was forced to lean over the console to try a different form of attack.

"Ciel," he called the other's name into his ear in barely a hush whisper, fighting to keep his tone serious but unable to hide his building humor. "If you don't get up I'll awake you with a kiss."

It was as if Sebastian had dropped a cat into a tub of frigid water- though he would never consider doing such a thing. Ciel jolted up and away from him, his back slamming into the car door behind him. Sebastian chuckled and leaned back onto his side of the car before reaching for the handle and getting out.

"That got you up," he stated smugly. "Grab your stuff, there's somethings I want to show you."

Cerulean blinked at him slowly before the information seemed to sink in and mechanically the boy reached for the bag settled at his feet before following the older out of the car. Sebastian watched him for a moment, unable to mask the amusement on his face as he watched Ciel stumble around for his things before joining him.

"Are you going to tell me where we are now?" Ciel demanded.

Sebastian smirked as he waved the younger to follow him. It looked as if the last of the drowsiness had faded and the demanding prince was back.

"If you can't see then I'm not sure telling you will help," Sebastian stated with amusement as he gave a pointed look ahead of them and up the curving path that broke away from the drive.

The entertainer gave him a baffled stare after quickly scanning their surroundings, before his blue orb joined Sebastian in staring at the building appearing before them.

The wave of homesickness hit Sebastian like a sucker punch to the gut at the sight of it. The building standing proudly before them could more correctly be describe as a small manor, but for the investigator it was a second home. The classic bay house was made of soft gray-brown bricks with a wide wrap around porch. Glass windows peeked out from the walls, some hidden by the immense overhanging branches from the forest that hovered at the edges of the green lawn- which was now littered by a heavy blanket of the changing leaves. While its architecture was surely beautiful, the memories it held were more so. This was his summer home during the escapes his parents had taken from the city when he was growing up. A place which now belonged to him due to less than fortunate circumstances.

He pushed back the sadder memories haunting the place and centered himself in the present- the now. Smiling, he focused his attention on the younger male who was examining him with a contemplating look before the blue orb flew back to the building before them.

"Is this yours?" Ciel ventured, his face already telling that he knew the answer but was just asking to verify it.

Sebastian nodded and strode across the porch to the front door. Unlocking it, he held it open for the teen to step inside and explore ahead of him.

"It's a place I like to visit when the city gets too much for me. I like the quiet and privacy," he added the last part simply.

A cobalt head of hair nodded, moving about the room as the young male looked everything over with a curious eye. Sebastian observed him with a small smirk, trying hard not to liken the boy's curiosity to a kitten exploring it's new home but failing.

"The bedrooms are all upstairs. Feel free to choice whichever you like asides the master, which is at the end of the hall."

Ciel straightened up from viewing the pictures Sebastian had never bothered to remove from the bookshelf in the entranceway and nodded as his eyes sought out the staircase to the second floor. Sebastian watched the boy disappear up the staircase before tossing his own bag onto the couch and moving towards the kitchen.

He gathered a glass from on of the cupboard and filled it water before leaning against the counter and looking out the window staring out over the view of the sound. The gray waters looked calm today, but depending on the day its looks could be deceitful. It reminded him of people and how they could be just as cruel as the rip currents hiding beneath the calm waters- some more so then others, like the killer running loose back in the city at the moment. The thought made him anxious to get back there as soon as possible. Though the plan was only to remain here for the rest of the day and return the next morning, the idea of a killer attacking innocents while he indulged himself in a few selfish moments of peace made him sick.

"Why did you never tell me you had a place on the island?"

Sebastian glanced back in surprise at Ciel, before lifting his shoulders in what was meant to be a shrug. The boy merely raised his eyebrows and tapped his foot expectantly for a better answer.

Sighing, Sebastian turned back to look at the water. "It didn't come to mind."

The younger rolled his eye. "Didn't come to mind because you never think of it? Or didn't come to mind because you thought everyone who lives in our building has a place here?"

The investigator glanced over at the younger male surprised by the sharpness in his tone only to see that it wasn't just in the teen's voice. He couldn't be certain of what it was, but he saw something dark lingering in the depths of blue- something troubling. Pushing away from the counter, Sebastian turned to face the younger on fully.

"Didn't come to mind as in I never thought it was important to mention before," he corrected.

The blue of Ciel's eye seemed to storm with emotions that were indecipherable to the investigator, which reminded him of the originally reason he had been so drawn to the younger in the first place. There was a mystery behind his every thought and emotion, all of which he was just itching to bring to light. He wanted to understand Ciel just as much as he wanted to be around him.

"Would you like to take a closer look at the beach?" Sebastian suggested. "I know the season isn't right but-"

"Yes!"

Sebastian couldn't help his look of complete astounded surprise at the delighted noise that left the younger's mouth. The other didn't seem to believe it as well, with the way he had his hand slapped over his mouth and was flushing an adorable pink.

Ciel looked down and away from Sebastian as he muttered out a lower, "I mean, can I?"

Sebastian couldn't resist the urge to reach out and ruffle the cobalt locks with his hand as he pushed past the teen to the back porch with a small chuckle escaping from his lips. Who was he to deny a look of such completely, childlike adoration? The first mention of the beach and Ciel had looked as if he were a child in a candy shop after being told he could have everything and anything he wanted from inside.

"I was the one who asked first, wasn't I?" Sebastian joked as he stepped down and began the trek across the lawn towards the place where it slopped down into the mixture of sand and stone. Behind him he could clear Ciel's lighter footsteps, quick and hurried with restrained eagerness that showed in the way his face began to light up the closer and closer they got to the lapping water.

"Have you never been to the beach before?" He teased.

Ciel shook his head. "No. My father was always working and... Angela never had time for such things."

Sebastian caught the way he hesitated on his stepmother's name, as if just by saying it he would conjure up the devil himself. It made the itch to dive into the younger male's secrets burn to life, but the investigator quashed them. His answers could wait, he had no intentions of driving Ciel away for them.

He settled instead of continuing the teasing. "This isn't exactly the time of year for beaches, but even during the summer this doesn't compare to the ones down south. Perhaps I should abduct you and take you on a trip there next."

The teen flushed and glanced away at the water, careful to avoid the other's eyes.

"I will have you charged, if you even think of it."

Sebastian shifted uncomfortably against the weight on his chest, stirring slowly awake at the feeling. His body protested the movement as he maneuvered himself as upright as he could get, before allowing his scarlet eyes to find their way down to the source of his immobility.

To say he was shocked would have been an understatement.

The raven haired male completely froze over at the sight of Ciel laying on top of him, sleeping blissfully and completely unaware of his compromising position laying half on Sebastian's chest and half between the man's legs. Sebastian held his breath as the teen shifted in his sleep, afraid he'd woken him, only for the boy to bury his face into the older male's chest. While Ciel slept on unaware, Sebastian was all too aware of everything: including the way the younger's hips were pressed firmly against his own, creating the slightest bit of friction every time the boy moved in his sleep.

He exhaled slowly trying to distract himself before he let any thoughts carry him away. Instead he focused on how they had gotten to be in this position in the first place. He thought back to last night, remembered how he had suggested after a few meaningless hours of walking down the abandoned strip of beach that they head back and- when Ciel's stomach had decided to voice itself- that they have dinner. He'd remembered making a simple dish of spaghetti with pesto and freshly diced tomatoes out of the measly ingredients he had stocked in the kitchen. Ciel's face of pure bliss when he'd bitten into it had been worth the effort of searching through everything to actually cook a dish instead of popping a can of soup in a bowl and calling it a night. After that he hadn't been able to resist the urge to check in on the city and had moved to check out the news in the living room. Ciel had joined him while muttering something about not being tired and refusing to sleep. Beyond that there was nothing and Sebastian could only assume they both fell asleep like that; somewhere during the night unconsciously repositioning themselves into a somewhat more comfortable situation on the couch.

Though Ciel would doubtfully see it like that.

Sebastian sighed at the mental image his mind provided with him in the case the boy did wake up. All hell would rain down on him and there would be no savior to aid him.

Keeping this in mind, the older male carefully began to maneuver his way out from under the teen. He decided that depending on how far he was able to slip away before the boy woke up, he might be able to pass it off with some lie. Sebastian was able to succeeding in getting half his body out from under Ciel, when the sleeping boy seemed to have other ideas.

An arm snaked around his waist, barring him from moving as the unconscious boy buried his face into Sebastian's lower stomach. The older groaned out of a mixture of frustration and from the mental images his mind was providing him with. It seemed that whenever it came to Ciel, nothing was ever easily accomplished.

Grabbing the boy's arms, Sebastian carefully extracted them from around him and gently moved him back to the couch. He didn't dare breath until he was a good two feet away and the boy was still sound asleep.

"Sebastian."

The older male froze at his name, foot in the doorway. For a heart-stopping moment doubts flooded his mind. Had he been up the entire time? Had he woken him up at some point in the middle?

"Se-Se-Sebastian!"

The doubts fled with the realization that the boy was still asleep, but instead they were replaced with something more troubling. His name leaving that perfect mouth in such a way it almost sounded like a moan, had a way of sending heat directly down to his cock.

Rationally he knew he should leave, but something glued him to the spot as he watched the younger's face twist up with whatever pleasurable dreams his sleeping mind was supplying- and it certainly was a sight. Flushed cheeks and parted lips seemed to be beckoning him to come and take advantage of the situation. He had half the mind to do so too. To go over there and ravage the other like he was asking for.

The moment his foot was drifting back in Ciel's direction had him shaking his head and retreating backwards. Growling at himself, he fled the room before he was tempted any further and it was perhaps the hardest thing he had to ever do.

Damn that boy was going to be the death of him.
