Unfortunately, the presence of a curtain hungry cat stopped the couple from going any further.

Ciel laughed and picked Atrer up. "You impatient kitty, you." the young one cooed making Sebastian smile. It was he, after all, that had originally harboured a love for cats. He still did, of course, but something else dominated his love for those elegant creatures. Or, at lease, someone.

The young Phantomhive took his pet to the kitchen to feed him.


The flames danced in the fire place in the way the young Earl had once seen a ballet. Graceful and tall, flicking across the stage that was just a block of wood. They seemed to me dancing for him, those blazing flames. Calling to him. Begging him to join their dance.

Slowly, the young demon stood and approached the fire as it beckoned him closer.

He knelt down and watched the fire. How uncontrollable fire was, how unpredictable. Fire was something no man. . .no. . .no being could truly control. It danced and flickered as it pleased. If it were to be trapped, it would only die. Fire was a free spirit. It was meant to be unchained, untamed and wild.

Pale fingers reached out to touch the flame and jerked back only to realize no pain had been registered, no skin had been melted. Those pale fingers steadily moved back into the fire.

No pain. No burning. Nothing.

Sebastian entered the room and saw what the young lord was doing.

"Master!" he exclaimed hurrying to the young one and grabbing the pail fingers in the fire. Sebastian paid no attention to his own pain once he had yanked the little Lord's hand out of the flames. He studied the little one's unscathed hand and looked at his own, melted and ugly.

Ciel pressed his lips to each of Sebastian's fingers and watched as those little kisses healed the wounds the elder had inflicted upon himself. Sebastian gentle pulled his hands out of the young master's grip only to cup the young one's face. "Don't ever do that to me again." Sebastian ordered then winced, knowing that the master didn't take kindly to being ordered around, waiting for the furious reply and was therefore astonished when all that came out of the little Lord's mouth was a small apology.

"I'm sorry." he whispered.

Sighing Sebastian pulled the young one into his chest in a gentle embrace. "You stupid thing." he said stroking Ciel's hair. Ciel only responded by wrapping his arms around his lover in turn. "What if you had hurt yourself?"

"You need to stop worrying about me." Ciel muttered.

"Is that an order, my Lord?" Sebastian asked and felt the vibrations run through their bodies as the young one laughed.

"I can't very well order you to stop feeling something." he said pulling away from his older lover. "It would be useless. You wouldn't be able to follow it anyway."

Sebastian smiled. "I'm glad you're not entire stupid."

Ciel rolled his eyes then glanced back at the fire. "It burnt you."

"Yes."

"But not me."

"No."

Looking back up at his lover, the young Lord asked, "Why do you suppose that is?"

Sebastian chose to reply by kissing his master, nibbling gently on the young one's bottom lip before pilling away slowly. Ciel opened his visible eye to reveal a haze of blood red, his true demon colour, and he kissed the other demon fervently.

A low growl rumbled in Sebastian's throat as he pushed his master to the floor and resumed kissing him.

Ciel began giggling uncontrollably. "Get off, we can't do that sort of thing here."

"Why not?" Sebastian asked kissing the young master's neck.

"Because. . . 'cause Lau and Ran Mao are. . .Sebastian!" Ciel gasped as Sebastian quickly undid all of Ciel's buttons with one swift move and began licking, nipping and teasing Ciel's nipples. "No. . .not. . .not here." Sebastian let out a sigh of defeat before pulling back and letting the young master stand.

It was amazing how irresistible Ciel could look and how unaware of it he could be. Like now. There he stood, hands on his hips, lips red and slightly swollen and his shirt falling loose, revealing an eternally smooth chest.

"Sebastian, I order you to be in my room within five minutes." Ciel said, his visible eye glinting with an unspoken promise. He then turned and pegged it up the stairs as fast as he could. Which was fairly fast now he was a demon.

Sebastian grinned.

The young Lord was getting bolder.


It wasn't quite five minutes later when Sebastian entered the young master's bedroom only to then be, for the second time that day, pinned to the wall and be passionately kissed by the young master himself.

Sebastian pushed off the wall and forced Ciel to walk backwards, to the bad, still kissing. Sebastian's plans didn't go quite as well as he expected. Instead of pinning the young master to the mattress, he found himself being pinned to the mattress. Ciel quickly removed Sebastian's shirt and ran a tongue up the elder's torso. It was odd but not unpleasantly so.

Sebastian gasped as Ciel's tongue ran over a sensitive patch of skin on his stomach. Then Ciel was impatiently tugging on Sebastian's trousers that had become increasingly tight. Finally, Ciel managed to remove them.

Ciel was untrained in the sexual world but, Hell, he could fool Sebastian with the way he licked the elder demon's length, causing the elder's back to arch. The younger took the elder's erection into his mouth and began to suck.

Moans such as that which had never escaped Sebastian's throat came tumbling out as pleasure ran through his body. He wasn't used to being the one caged and helpless and on the receiving end of bliss but, he had to admit, it was exciting.

Just before he came, however, Ciel stopped. Sebastian looked at the young master, ready to shoot him a dirty look, only to find the lord removing his own clothing. Suddenly, all Sebastian wanted was to be inside this demon. To fill him. Complete him.

Ciel straddled Sebastian, kissing him roughly as Sebastian's fingers made their way to the young one's entrance. Ciel moaned and let out a soft hiss of pain when the third finger entered him but was silenced by his own cry of "SE. . .BAS. . .TIAN!" as Sebastian hit the young master's sweet spot.

Sebastian removed his fingers. "Do you want to stay on top?" he whispered taking off the young one's eye patch and casting it aside.

Ciel's eyes sparked a sinful, lustful red and he nodded. He rose himself and, with some help, allowed Sebastian's hard erection to enter him. Ciel was quite still for a moment and Sebastian began reconsidering letting the young one being on top but, at that moment Ciel began to move. He was clumsy at first, slow with no sense of rhythm but, as his confidence grew, he picked up speed and was moving in time with the moans that filled the room.

The screaming of names quickly replaced the pleasurable moans as both neared completion. Then they came together with the other's name on their lips. Each wordlessly reassuring the other that there was no one other than them in their lives romantically.


Ciel and Sebastian lay together with Ciel draped over the elder demon. He felt safe there, wrapped in Sebastian's arms. "It's strange." Ciel said softly, voicing his thoughts.

"Hmm?" was Sebastian's curious reply.

"We've just made love and I still want you, still need you." Ciel mused.

Sebastian made a noise of agreement. "It's a pretty good definition of love. Needing someone even though you've already got what you wanted from them."

"Or lust."

"No, my Lord." Sebastian said. "If it were just lust, why would I still be here? Why would you?"

Two very good questions.

"Because I love you," Ciel said sleepily.

"Hmm, I love me too." Sebastian said earning a half hearted slap on the chest from the younger and the elder demon sniggered. Ciel grabbed the duvet and pulled it over the two lovers before snuggling into Sebastian even more than he already was.

It was almost dreamlike, the way things were playing out for Sebastian; before his attempt to leave, he had never once expected Ciel ever could love him too. He never once thought anything could ever strip Ciel of pride and dignity. Never had he imagined how insecure the young master really was.

Insecure. . .

Which it why Sebastian felt it necessary to remind his young lover, "I love you, too."


As a Phoenix's confidance grows, as does its fire.

You'll just have to wait and see what this means for the two unlawful lovers.
