… Hi? Okay, so do I have any excuse for not writing in so long? No. No I don't. Sorry. Anyway, enjoy this chapter. Review AND give suggestions. I will NOT post new chapters unless I get at least three reviews on the latest chapter.
I leaned my head back against Sebastians chest. The warm water around our bodies was quiet calming, despite our…arrangement. Sebastian and I are taking a bath together. My back is pressed against his chest, and his legs come up around me, his knees sticking out of the water. One of his arms is wrapped around my waist. I slowly ran a hand down one of his perfect legs. Sebastian leaned down slightly and pressed his smirking lips to my neck.
A low growl made its way up the back of my throat. My other hand was holding Sebastians, our fingers intertwined. I sighed, not being able to take it any longer. I let go of his hand, and turned around lowly. I sat myself in his lap, with my legs wrapped around his waist. He looked at me curiously. Without saying anything, I leaned up and pressed my lips to his.
Sebastians POV
After our 'bath', Ceil fell asleep easily, laying with me in his bed. I sighed and sat up, re-doing my shirt. I should use this time that he is asleep to get some work done, I figured. So I left the room quietly, and cleaned the house thoroughly. Eventually, there was a knock on the door. I sighed. Lately, only bad things came with people coming here. When I opened a door, I blinked in surprise.
"Hello, may I help you?" I asked the short female. She was short, but well aged, wearing a stern expression and was very nicely dressed. Without saying anything, she held out an envelope. Blinking again, I accepted it. "Have a nice day" She said, sounding like she could care less if my day was nice or not, and walked away. I blinked again, before closing the door.
"How strange…"
Examining the envelope, my eyes widened. There was a purple seal on it. Purple. I almost opened it without thinking, before the name on the envelope stopped me. Written neatly in the top left corner: Addressed to Ceil Phantomhive.
I blinked in surprise. What could they possibly want with Ceil? I thought to myself. I walked quickly up the stairs. I did not want to wake the sleeping boy, but I had to. I walked quickly into the room. I walked over to Ceils side, and shook him softly. "Young master, you must wake up".
"Mn… Why?" He asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes cutely. I sighed. "A letter came for you today…"
His eyes opened and he looked over curiously. "From who?" He asked.
"Someone… Important."
Ceils POV
Important? I thought. Who do I know in hell that I would consider important besides Sebastian? I grabbed the letter out of his hands and looked at it. Flipping it over in my hands, I said, "There is no name or return address. How do you know it is from someone important?" I asked.
"The seal" he said, and I looked down at it. "Here, as in many places on earth, purple means power. But here… it means 'Highest' power. Who do you think that is?"
I looked back up at him then. "…Are you trying to tell me that the Devil himself wrote me this letter?" I asked him.
"No, probably not himself, personally. But he did approve the letter, so it is in a way, from him. You must open it the moment you receive it." He urged.
I looked at it some more. "…Fine" I opened it carefully. I took out the neatly-written letter, and read it in my head.

I smiled.
Sebastains POV
Ceil read the card in his head, rather than out-loud like I wished he would. Honestly, he must have done it to annoy me. I did, however, stop myself from reading over his shoulder like I wanted to. I waited patiently… and then… he smiled.
"…My lord?" I wanted to rip the letter out of his hands. He looked up at me, smiling. "Well Sebastian", he smirked. "I can tell you that we won't have to worry about being bored any time soon." He held out the letter to me. I practically ripped it out of his hands.
Mr. Ceil Phantomhive
Welcome to hell. As you well know, your situation is a rare one. You have successfully escaped your fate; well done, and congratulations to you. Not many humans have been able to pull of something so difficult. However, we have also noted that not many humans could have accomplished many of the tasks that you did while human.
Mr. Sebastian is a highly valued demon in this world, if you did not know that previously. His ability to rain havoc in the human world is quiet impressive, and benefits His Majesty greatly. When we learned of your binning him to do your bidding forever, we were quiet conflicted. You see, we had two options: 1) Kill you and punish Mr. Sebastian to insure something like this does not happen again, or 2) Use your control of Mr. Sebastian to our advantage.
You see, Mr. Sebastian has never been keen on taking orders if they do not benefit him directly. However, your ability to control his actions now can be of use to us.
We are aware of the role you played on earth; you took orders and followed them, in order to maintain power, and your title. You were also very good at your job, completing any task you were given to the fullest, with the help of our Mr. Sebastian. We figured you can do that again, here.
Hopefully, you can see that we have considered option 2 to be most beneficial to us. We hope you will at the very least consider our generous offer. If so, we will expect you at 7p.m. the next day the moon is full, to further discuss your assignments. Your Mr. Sebastian should be able to show you exactly where to go. If you choose not to accept, we will be forced to reconsider option 1.
Have a nice day
