I'm so sorry I haven't updated, my computer crashed and I had to type this via mobile device so yea but enjoi!

Nova and Sebastian kept their courtship a secret for almost a month, 3 months after Nova arrived at the manor in September. But according to demon law, if a demon is in a relationship they must complete a ceremony their significant other before their 1st anniversary if the human has been blooded.

But that wasn't on his mind right now, what was was keeping his relationship a secret from the master. The servants knew from the start because Meyrin was the one who told Sebastian to ask her about it. Ciel wasn't ok with his servants having relationships, why? No on knows, something in his mind just says, no one can have love with my servants.

Nova was focused on keeping her young master happy. He from time to time called her his big sister. A few nights ago he had a nightmare causing him to start crying. The only one to hear was Nova, she quickly made her way out of her new room to Ciel's. She opened the door to find him huddled into a ball crying to his knees.

"Ciel, are you ok?" he looked up to her. "Nova what are you doing here, you should be asleep we have a party to attend tomorrow." "I heard you crying."

"oh," he hid his face,but she knew he was embarrassed. She walked silently over to him, sat on his bed and wrapped her arms around him. "I won't ever let that nightmare haunt you again."

He tried to pull away, "What do you know about being haunted." "You don't know what happened between me and Claude do you?" "I know you two have had quarrels in the past, but no details." Nova sighed and let him go, "Kiddo, look at this." She pulled the back of her shirt up and showed him the unfinished contract seal. "Yea and?" "You are incredibly idiotic," she laughed and pulled her shirt back down.

She slid her hand under his bangs and pushed them away showing his contact seal. "Were you two in a relationship?" She smiled and kissed his forehead, "You dunce." "Tell me or I'll sic Sebastian on you," he threatened. "Okok, Claude was the one who blooded me, even though I know I have this entire household protecting me I still live in fear knowing I'm still technically his and that he can take me whenever he wants."

Ciel shivered he didnt want the one he called sister to leave, he loved her. "Do you want me to stay?" she asked. "Please?" she smiled and scooted him over and laid next to him. He curled into a ball in her arms and laid his head on her chest. "I'm sorry Nova, you do know about being haunted."

Soon after it was getting close to Christmas, since Ciel thought Nova as family he wanted to get her something special. He had a week to snoop around and find out what she liked, but that kinda backfired and he found the wrong thing out.

He was walking around his manor and decided to walk around his manor, as any earl would want to do from time to time.

He heard faint noses coming from the kitchen but he ignored it. Thinking it was just Bardoy blowing something up. He continued walking out into the courtyard and basked in the beauty of his white roses. "Sebastian did quite a good job, but this doesn't look like he did this."

He examined the roses and saw on one was a red smudge. "What is this." He plucked the rose and examined the smudge. "Lipstick?" He tried to remember who actually wore lipstick in his manor.

Meyrin rarely wore makeup, and when she did she never wore red. Lizzie rarely ever even thought about makeup so she was out. The only other woman in the house was, you guessed it Nova. But Nova wasn't a make up wearing kind of girl, she was the kind who spent money on weapons not beauty products. "Is she trying to impress someone? he asked tried examining the rose.

"She better not have someone like that, she should know by now that I don't like that. Maybe I'll see about getting Plu-Plu back to hunt this guy down." He then placed the rose in a big pocket and walked back inside to find her. 'She's gonna have some explaining to do."

Back in the house

Nova sat on the counter eating an apple watching Sebastian cook. She eyed the cake as any girl would do, but she more so eying the man making it. Sebastian turned to see her lazily rocking her leg that crossed over her other. She had recovered quite fast and was up on her feet 2 weeks after the attack. "You know you shouldn't stare, it's not lady like."

She slowly turned her vision to him, she chuckled softly and hopped from her perch and strolled up to him. She stood on her tip toes and whispered in his ear. "Who said I was trying to be lady like," very very seductively. She came back down and turned sway her hips as she walked back to her counter. Sebastian watched, his eyes glowing a demonic pink. She was unbelievably sexy, know that they were in a courtship he wanted her so bad.

Nova glanced over to a calender that hung on the wall and a big red circle was around the date December 14th. "Sebastian, what's so important about the 14th?" "

"Ah yes," she strolled over to her and placed his arm around her waist. "That would be the young masters birthday, I believe that is in a week."

She turned and faced him, "Should we tell him then, I'm sure he's getting suspicious." She placed a hand on her chin and lifted her lips to his lightly kissing her. "I thought we could do more before then," he said suggestively. "Hold up Tiger," she lifted a knee to his nether regions. "If you can control yourself by my birthday then maybe we'll go that far." He chuckled pulling her into another kiss but this time deepening it exploring her mouth with his tongue and holding the back oh her neck with his gloved hands. Her arms naturally went to his neck and wrapped around it pulling herself up.

He pulled her up wrapping her legs around his waist and setting her down on a counter. They continued kissing until they heard the door slam shut. She turned and stared at the door, "I know that slam." "Ahh yes, he saw."
