"Take off the beard." Grumbled the blonde as he rubbed the Phantomhive's cheeks while wearing a vain attempt at a scowl. The bluenette fur covering his beau's face felt odd against his fingertips, making him want to rub harder. Meanwhile, the man whose whiskers were being assaulted grinned the best that he could while having his face squished.

"Why? We're not home yet." Ciel answered, chuckling as the blonde snorted in response.

The Phantomhive's were on their way home from the event, having finally wrapped things up. It was late at night and the youngest two members of the family were currently asleep on the car ride home. Revy sat in the front seat with his sunglasses off and carefully tucked into the pocket on his blazer, while Luka sat in the back with the demonic duo, leaning against his oldest brother as he uncomfortable sat with his new tail. Alois sat between him and the head of the household, while their butler drove the vehicle; softly chortling at the conversation happening behind him from his own seat.

"But I want to see your face!" Alois declared. "You look like an old man…"

"I do not." Insisted the Phantomhive, arching an eyebrow as his beau continued to sulk. "Does it really bother you that much?"

"Yes. It's very offensive." Stated the menace, causing the other man to shake his head. With that, he reverted his appearance back to normal and watched as the blonde's pout turned into a grin.

"Oh, hello, there, sweetie~!" he called, rubbing the Phantomhive's freshly smoothed cheeks before pecking him on the lips.

"Why do you care so much about it?" inquired the bluenette, rolling his eyes as his beau took his hands away, bringing one to the head of the smaller boy leaned up against him on his opposite side. Alois only grinned as he stroked his brother's hair soothingly, watching as the younger demon nuzzled into him more.

"Same reason why you would care if I grew a beard. I think you're cuter this way." Alois answered. His free arm now rested on the back of the seats, wrapping around his boyfriend's shoulders.

"I'm not 'cute', to begin with." Ciel stated, folding his arms. "Aren't you the one who's always telling me that your classmates think I'm in the mafia, or something?"

"Yeah, but they don't know you, and don't know that you're actually a total dweeby sweetheart." The blonde teased, causing the man in the driver's seat to chuckle a bit. "See? Sebastian agrees with me!"

"I wear an eyepatch, dress in suits, and never smile. How is that 'cute'?" asked the Phantomhive.

"Because when you do smile, it's a million times more precious, and you're very shy. It's adorable. Are you upset that I don't see you as a 'villain' or something?"

"I work hard to maintain my reputation, you know…"

"Well, you kind of screwed that up when you started dating a dumb blonde like me." Stated his beau. "Accept it."

"You're not 'dumb'. You're brilliant…" Ciel replied, watching as the other demon's grin widened.

"See? The moment I put myself down, you come out with that." The menaced accused. "Total. Sweetheart. It's so cute. Hey, Sebastian, isn't our head of house just precious?"

"I'm not certain about that, but he certainly is kind to the 'family' that he's made." The butler mused, earning a flustered glare from his master at the back of his head.

"Oh? A family? Don't tell me I'm the 'mum'…" Alois replied, furrowing his brow.

"Well, from your current position, you're infatuated with the head of the household, so I'm afraid it might appear that way, sir." Answered Sebastian.

"I'm not his wife!" the menace protested, a blush appearing on his face. It was hidden by darkness, but the other demons knew, especially the man seated next to him, who wore a similar hue. On his opposite side, however, there was a stirring. His voice had caused the youngest of the Macken brothers to wake up.

"Jim?" he sleepily called, rubbing his eye. "What's going on?"

"Nothing, Luka. Sebastian's being weird." Alois answered. "We're almost home, but you can still sleep a while longer."

"Wha'd Sebastian do this time?" asked Luka, finally opening his eyes to look up at his brother.

"I didn't say anything strange in the slightest." Sebastian stated, a smirk on his face and his eyes on the road. "I simply said that because of Alois' relationship with the young master, he has a similar role to that of the lady of the house."

"And I told you that I'm not his wife!"

"Yeah, Sebastian, that's kind of weird." The brunet said, nuzzling into his brother's side as he got comfortable again. "There's not gonna be a lady of the house, because Jim is going to be Ciel's husband."

"L-Luka?!" Alois called, surprised and embarrassed by the youngest demon's words. He even took his arm from around the Phantomhive, in his shared embarrassment with him, as he was unsure of what to say.

"Ain't you gonna marry Ciel someday?" the brunet asked curiously, shifting to look up at the blonde again.

Both the eldest Macken and the Phantomhive sat quietly as they both scrambled for something to reply with. They refused to look at each other, and fidgeted in their seats at the awkwardness of the question. Soon, however, the blonde menace had to spout something.

"Uhm, I dunno if we're really ready for that, just yet." He said, his face completely enflamed.

"But you already act like husbands, so why not?" Luka inquired, causing the man in the front seat to nearly choke as he desperately tried not to laugh while the remaining demons simply didn't know what to do.

"Uh… I… I dunno…" Alois answered, rubbing the back of his neck. He honestly didn't know what to say, as he didn't know the bluenette's opinion on the matter. With that, he glanced over toward his partner, mouthing the words: "help me" at him. After a few moments, the man nodded, cupping the blonde's hands between his own and leaning so that he could look at Luka.

"If we decide to, we will, but right now we're happy with the way things are." Ciel said. "Aren't we, Jim?"

"Uh, yeah! Yeah, we still love each other, but we aren't sure if we want to take that step yet." Stated the blonde. In all honesty, however, he would be more than happy to, but the thought filled him with embarrassment! Thus, it would have to stay a "girlish daydream"; at least for now, that is. Surely, Ciel would find the idea ridiculous and unnecessary.

"Alright?" he asked while offering a smile. Luka simply glanced over at the bluenette before turning his attention back to the blonde with a nod. With that, he nuzzled back into his brother's side, hugging the menace as he got comfortable.

"'Kay." he answered. Alois wrapped the arm that wasn't being held by the bluenette around him and chuckled as the boy completely slumped against him in the process. To his surprise, however, one of the hands of the Phantomhive let go of his own before Ciel rested his arm on the back of the seats just as the menace had earlier. A giggle escaped the blonde as the other man gripped one of his shoulders while his arm wrapped around both of them.

"You can lean on me, too, if you want, Ciel." Alois teased, his cheeks still a bit pink from the prior conversation.

"I'm fine." His beau answered, looking out the window.

He sat to the blonde's right with his left arm around the man while his right hand held the blonde's. Even though he wasn't looking, he rubbed circles on the side of Alois' palm with his thumb. He didn't want to be too affectionate, seeing as though Sebastian was still watching them in the rear-view mirror. The man was still grinning to himself at the conversation, as well as his master's actions. Honestly, the Phantomhive could be so ridiculous, sometimes.

Alois smiled and lifted their intertwined hands, bringing the back of the bluenette's to his lips. Immediately, Ciel turned to look at him and not even he could bear not to grin even just a little bit when the blonde leaned his head on his shoulder. The Macken pulled Luka with him, slightly, being careful not to wake the small demon. Luka did stir a bit, adjusting so that he was comfortable again, but Alois hadn't expected to see what he did.

Sebastian had fixed the boy's pants so that his tail would slip through comfortably. As Luka shifted, his tail really quickly flicked from side to side as he got settled. When Alois saw that, he had to detach his hand from Ciel's and clasp it over his own mouth.

"Oh my god!" the blonde said through his fingers. His speech was muffled, but he could still be heard clearly by the Phantomhive and his butler. Alois turned his head so that he could bury his face in the bluenette's shoulder as his body shook from trying to contain himself. After all, he didn't want to wake the small demon that had sparked this reaction. "That was the cutest thing I've ever seen!"

Both Ciel and Sebastian chuckled at the man, amused by his reaction. Ciel allowed the menace to continue to bury his face in his shoulder as he shook his head. First his beau was fixated on ridding the Phantomhive of facial hair, and now he was a mess because his brother's tail wiggled. That sort of silliness, however, was one of the things he loved about him. Ciel allowed himself to rest his head on top of the blonde's for a moment, but it was shattered when the butler in the driver's seat spoke.

"Something tells me that Alois would be the type of parent who dotes on their children." Sebastian mused, earning an embarrassed reaction from the demonic duo. They separated quickly before Alois had something to say.

"For the last time, I'm not his wife!"


A/N: Filler. Definitely, definitely filler.

I needed to somehow get away from the party, y'know? Allude into something else...

Anyways, what did we learn?

Ciel and Alois are dorks, Luka's adorable, and Sebastian's a smartass.

That's the moral of the story.
