Part Four - The Epilogue

The door to Ciel's bedroom opened and Sebastian entered, pushing along the rolling serving tray. Ciel was already awake and was sitting facing the doorway; the drapery had already been pulled open and morning light flooded the room.

Ciel's cheeks were bright red and there were damp lines coming from the corners of his eyes. Sebastian was surprised first at the fact the room was full of light and Ciel was up, and secondly that his young lord was emotionally distressed.

Taken aback, Sebastian stopped mid stride and spoke instinctively "My lord?"

Upon hearing the words and regarding his demonic servant, Ciel fell back into a state of weakness and began breathing heavily and fresh tears began retracing the previously dry paths.

Sebastian pushed the tray to the side and took a few steps closer to Ciel.

"I… Sebastian, I had such bizarre dreams last night."

Sebastian smiled as Ciel rubbed his eyes, knowing he could do so without the boy seeing it.

"But, as I thought more about it. Last night happened didn't it?"

Sebastian was struck with the asymmetrical stare coming from his naked master.

"What do you mean my lord?"

Ciel stifled a small whimper, "Don't deflect, I hate it when you take such action."

The butler took a breath and nodded, and spoke matter-of-factly, "yes my lord, it did."

Ciel nodded and looked towards the tea tray before speaking,

"Sebastian, I'm sure I don't have to say that no one can know…"

Turning to close the door Sebastian then took a seat beside Ciel.

"It was bloody weakness… wasn't it? Brought on by the alcohol, no doubt…"

Sebastian said nothing and just sat closely to the young lord.

Running his fingers through his hair Ciel leaned forward with his elbows on his knees.

Sebastian pulled a glove off his hand and slowly ran his fingers along Ciel's exposed shoulder. The display of intimacy was indulged by Ciel as the boy huffed, and looked back at the butler. Sniffling, he wiped his tears and leaned himself into Sebastian's chest.

"I don't think so." The demon spoke.

Ciel leaned back and turned to face Sebastian.

"You do not indulge in such whims of weakness Ciel." He continued.

Ciel's fringe had fallen in front of his eyes and after speaking Sebastian lightly brushed the hair to the side and ran his long pale fingers along the edge of Ciel's blushing face.

"Or at least, if you do, it is not done lightly."

Ciel smirked, but it was almost as if he were in pain.

"I have a question for you Sebastian…"

"Oh?"

"You didn't exactly answer my concerns last night."

Sebastian furrowed his brow, "What, uh, well which concerns were those?"

Ciel took a breath, "It was about my status as a lover. Do you not remember? I know both then, and now, that I was… Emotional to say the least, but it still stands. And I wonder."

Sebastian raised an eyebrow and spoke.

"Ciel, you've read far too many poorly illustrated pornographic novels."

The boys' eyes widened and he made an effort to mask his surprise.

But Sebastian continued, almost ignoring his previous words.

"No one becomes a Casanova at the drop of a hat."

Ciel huffed.

"Yes…"

Shaking his head the lord exclaimed in frustration.

"I suppose that's true, but I can't help but believe that I did not at all provide you with satisfaction."

Pushing the covers from his body Ciel spoke.

"I suppose I should rectify that."

Sebastian's eyebrow rose and he viewed his master intently.

"Take off your clothes."

Sebastian huffed, and looked away, partially in embarrassment, partially in disbelief.

"Are you quite sure master?"

Ciel bit his lip and nodded, however as he did his bangs fell into his eyes and he had to adjust them quickly.

"You're going to teach me."

Sebastian leaned over as he removed his trousers,

"Oh is that so my lord?"

Ciel threw a pillow at Sebastian,

"Yes it is, because I order you to."

Sebastian smiled playfully,

Who says you can't enjoy your job?

"Yes, my lord."
