Sorry this is late. I got busy. Went to my new high school today to meet the other transfer students. First soccer practice in an hour. And then… someone I know said something… not nice… about my writing… so I got a weeny bit upset. It's not like I hate criticism, in fact, I love when people tell me they don't like my stuff, because then I know to fix it! But this person just said something senseless and rude and for no reason they could name. So I took a little break. Then I started reading the first couple chapters again and remembered what I promised myself. If one person likes this, then I'll continue it. No matter what. I remembered when I posted the first chapter. I was a nervous, sobbing wreck. You guys seriously are a huge part of why I'm doing this now, it's just encouraging when I know someone enjoys what I like to do and write. Heck, my parents don't understand what I write; they've never seen or read the series. All I need to know it that at least one person likes this. It's not meant to win awards, and it's not perfect I know, but I try my best. But, never mind I guess… I'm probably overreacting… sorry for loading this on you guys… I had to like… you know… get this out there… But please, I hope you enjoy this next chapter!

"It's- It's your father."

Silence. Just silence.

Ciel couldn't take it, "Um… S-Sebasti-"

"Damn."

"What?"

"Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn," Sebastian said hurriedly. He got up looked around frantically.

"Sebastian?"

"As good as," Sebastian muttered as he began pacing.

"As good as what?"

"Satan."

"Your father?"

"Yep. As good as Satan. Damn. Damn it all!"

"Sebastian… please…"

"Ciel!" Sebastian turned and faced Ciel as if he had just now been noticed. The frantic demon flung himself back down to Ciel's eye-level, "Ciel, my Ciel, my cute, little Ciel," his voice was shaky, "Please, I wasn't ready for this, not yet. I need to ask you to stay here. I'll deal with this. Leave it to me. Promise me you and Adelina will both stay here. Promise me that no matter what you hear, you will not leave this room. Please, I need you to promise me."

"Sebastian, what's- I mean, I want to go with you. Whatever makes this so bad, I want to help you w-with it," Ciel could barely contain his emotions. He was angry they were constantly interrupted, he was worried for Sebastian, he was frustrated Sebastian thought he had to protect him all the time, "Sebastian, I want to help you. I'm not promising anything. You always help me no matter what. Don't leave me behind. Don't make me stay."

Sebastian's desperate eyes burned a hole right through Ciel, "I'm sorry, I just can't. You don't understand, my father-"

He was cut off by Ciel's lips on his, "Sebastian. I'm not staying and you can't make me."

Sebastian looked as if he was about to cry. He clung hopelessly to the small and pressed the top of his head against Ciel's bare chest, "Please, don't make this harder. You're not coming and that's final. I have to keep you safe. As your butler, as your friend, as your parental figure, as your boyfriend, as your lover."

Ciel was stunned. But if he knew one thing, this time, he was going to help Sebastian. No matter what.

Sebastian stood up, "I have to go now. Adelina will be in here in a minute. Oh and," he said when he saw Ciel's still bare chest, "here."

He pulled off his tailcoat and draped it over the boy's small shoulders, "I don't have time to do your shirt up. I'll be back in a minute."

"No, Sebastian! I'm coming with you!" But Sebastian was almost at the door, Ciel ran over to him and before he could turn the door handle Ciel tackled him to the floor, "Sebastian, you can't do this to me. Please." Ciel was lying on top of Sebastian, his face in his lover's chest, fist hitting Sebastian's shoulder, "You can't. You just can't. You said it yourself, no more you and me right? It's us. Please, Sebastian, please. I can't make this an order, please just understand. I'm coming with you."

"Ciel…"

Trying a different angle, Ciel interrupted, "Sebastian, you have no right to say my name if you don't even care about me enough to take me with you. I don't care how horrible your father is. I'm a demon too, just like you. I can handle myself."

Sebastian tried to compromise, "How about this. If you stay here, it'll give you a chance to get to know Adelina more; your first impression wasn't the best one. And she knows just as much as me about this part of the underworld as I do. She'll tell you about everything until I can get back."

"I don't care about everything! I care about you!"

"Ciel, please-"

"I told you not to say my name! Not until you take me with you!"

Sebastian sat up and sat Ciel in his lap. He moved his face down next to Ciel's small ear, "Ciel. Ciel. Ciel, Ciel, Ciel. I'll say your name as many times as I want, Ciel. Because you are mine and because I love you. And these reasons are the same for why you must stay here."

Just then they heard a familiar female voice from the other side of the door, "Sebastian! Where are you? I'm sorry, I need you now! It's urgent!"

Sebastian pulled back and grabbed Ciel's chin to pull it up. He needed to see his bright blue and purple eyes again, "Ciel, I'm leaving now. With or without your permission. I have to remind you, though a female, Adelina is a very remarkable demon. I just know she'll be able to detain you if necessary. I also know she'll be willing to help me."

Ciel tried to turn away but under Sebastian's firm grip it was futile. So he glared at the older demon, as if challenging him.

Instead of just hearing Adelina she burst into the room, almost hitting them with the door. Well, she would have hit them if Sebastian hadn't stuck his arm out. At the sight of them together Adelina looked rather conflicted, "I'm glad you guys are happily together again but I think Sebastian has to go now." She jabbed her finger towards the door as if saying, 'Let's go. Now."

"That's just what I was thinking," Sebastian said. He stood up, carefully placing Ciel on his feet. Well, he tried to at least. Ciel wrapped his arms around Sebastian's shoulders and refused to let go, "Sebastian, I'm not letting go. I'm coming with you." Ciel was embarrassed by how he was acting but he couldn't help it. He just got his Sebastian back, he wasn't letting go any time soon. Sebastian looked over at Adelina, begging her for help. He couldn't do this. Adelina, understanding immediately, attempted to pry Ciel off the older demon.

"Ciel, I'm sorry, Sebastian has to go. He'll be back, I promise."

"No! I'm going with him! Let go of me!"

Sebastian tried reasoning with him one more time, "Ciel, I'll be right back. Please. I'm not letting you come with me. That's it." Sebastian walked over to the chair that he himself had been sitting in. He tried to sit Ciel down there but Ciel cluing hopelessly to his chest, "No! You can't make me stay!"

"Ciel, please…" Sebastian begged, "I'm not letting anything happen to you. So let go. Now." His voice had turned dangerous and Ciel knew he should give it up. But he wasn't. He felt Adelina's arms go around him again and try to pull him off of his demonic lover. She was much stronger than the very young demon but she didn't want to hurt him. Sebastian would kill her! Well, torture her then kill her many times, being the sadistic demon that he is.

"SEBASTIAN! NO!" Ciel yelled as Adelina covered his hands with her own and was slowly wrenching him away, "LET GO OF ME!" Finally, Ciel was pulled off of Sebastian and he screamed as loud as he could, "I'M COMING WITH YOU! TAKE ME WITH YOU!"

Sebastian leaned down a little so he could look the struggling boy in the eye, "I'll be right back, my Ciel. Stay here. Please." And with that, he quickly spun and almost ran out of the room. When Ciel saw the door close, he stopped struggling. The female demoness holding him set him down. He swayed on his feet and collapsed onto his hands and knees.

"Se-bast-ian-"he choked out. He could feel tears once again pricking the back of his eyes; he was getting tired of crying. "You-you- you IDIOT!" He slammed his head on the floor as hard as he could as he felt warm tears sliding down his face. Why didn't anyone trust him to protect himself, why? He was going to show them all. He-He-He-

He was going to show them all.

Sorry for the lame ending. I'm really annoyed at life in general right now… For reasons mentioned above and a bunch of other stuff that NO ONE cares about or will ever care about. So I won't bore you. And I feel pathetic relying on reviews from you guys to keep me happy and to get me up in the morning. I'll try to become a better writer with better chapters and more often but so much is going on right now I don't have the energy any more. And I'm always energetic. I'm sorry. I really am. I'll try harder. I'm truly am sorry. I'm just… well, now I'm upset. I'll see you guys soon.
