Hello, my dears! Sorry for the long wait for Chapter 3 [Is 11 days long?] I've been super busy with things due for this quarter in school x.x I'm finally feeling the pressure of highschool [Naive little freshman I am xD] I really like this chapter for some reason and I think it came out well, and I hope you think so too!

I do not own Kuroshitsuji

But I do own this story

On with the show...

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of

woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and

enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel

tenderly drowsy

Sebastian's POV

As we continued on throughout my currently desolate city, passing numerous buildings and houses to arrive at our destination. It was an odd feeling in the least, that Ciel now knew a glimpse of my past, and there was no way my mind can sort out these thoughts. Though, the boy was taking it all rather well, but of course that is what I expect from him. But after all that has been endured over the past hours, I would not be surprised if he broke down soon. The pressure my world can do that to the strongest of souls, I've seen it happen myself. Ciel, by far, is most confusing and tangled and amazingly tough one I have come across in my many years. It was true when I said I was young for demons, but at around 300 years of age, you see a lot.

Everything else I had spoke of to the child had all been fact as well. My father dying was something I was by all means not prepared for. And my mother did not help at all by saying "It was because I was always the problem child, always had my own way of doing things, never wanting to conform to the norm." Her exact words. I knew she was wrong though. Even when others, like her, had rejected me, my Father stood by my side. He respected all my choices, no matter how different there were to his own. I looked up to him, and trusted him. I believe this is what annoyed my Mother the most, that he was never on her side. She would go insane if she saw Ciel;

How dare you bring a human back to our world? Don't you know only the fools do these types of things, the ones who fall for their meals, who would do anything for them! That is not what a demon is! We feast on what we can get our hands on, and leave it at that! You are a disgrace!

I could imagine her words almost perfectly in my mind, making my eyes narrow.

"Sebastian, are you fine?" Ciel's ever present voice rang in my ears, pulling my out of thoughts. I then noticed my back was very stiff and rigid, my eyes glued to the road in front of us. The boy must have wondered why I had suddenly gone into a dark mood.

"Ah, I swear it is nothing, Ciel. Just got caught up in some thoughts, nothing to worry about, I assure you." I gave him a smile. As per usual, covering up any hint of emotion in my face. Still being the perfect butler he knew.

"I do not believe you at all. Please, you have no reason to hide anything from me. You must remember that I belong to you now. You have every right to tell me what is on your mind, but I suppose at the same time you don't have to." His eyes drifted off. The tiniest bit of a blush formed on his cheeks like he was embarrassed for some reason. My eyes widened a bit at his forwardness, and that he was able to read through my façade. Perhaps he does know me a little more than I gave him credit for. In truth, he did see me every day and I spent most my time always by his side. Maybe he began to note my reactions to certain things. Such as when my face would suddenly become harsh when Lady Elizabeth would unintentionally upset Ciel. I always thought that I could get rid of those moment of annoyance in a flash, but apparently I was wrong, seeing as how well he could read my face.

"Very well then, I shall tell you; " I paused, watching him nod his head and my willingness to share with him. "I was thinking about my Mother, and what she would think of you if she did meet you. I'm positive that it will not be a happy welcome from her to you." Giving him a half smile.

"Oh well, I want her to accept me. It's not like I can go anywhere, I'm bound to you aren't I?" He spoke, looking up towards me. Why would he want to be accepted by such a vile she-demon. That being exactly what she was.

"Please, do not fret about her; she is nothing of your concern. Look, we have arrived at my home." I gestured to the old house in front of us. It was one story, but a decent size none the less. The outside was a standard grey walls. A couple of windows in the front. Dead bushes framed the sides of the building, matches the ones that were scattered through-out this place. I knew this was way below Ciel's standards of a living space. A bit a shame of my home's current state. "I know it's a bit of a mess right now, and this is just the outside, but I haven't been her to tend in around 3 years, as you know." I tried to reassure him.

"No, it is perfectly fine. I'm eager to see where you lived before me, Sebastian." He gave me a toothy grin, one that I had rarely ever seen in the human world. A gasp escaped my lips, but was replaced with a smirk just as quick.

"I see, then shall we continue in." Extending my hand to the house. Some of my butler tendencies still remaining.

"Of course." Ciel said, beginning to walk forward, and I followed. Once we reached the door, I promptly opened it for him to walk in past me. Dust rushed past us, causing Ciel to cough harshly.

"Are you fine?" I asked putting a hand on his back gently, feeling in go stiff under. He stopped coughing, with a hand over his mouth.

"Yes, absolutely." He pulled away from my touch, his face ever redder than before. My brows furrowed, what was that reaction, he's never done that when I touched him before.

"Alright then. Well, I shall begin to clean this place up right away, it is quite disgusting. And I'm so use to a clean environment now." I said taking my tail-coat in the process, laying in across a filth covered couch.

"Sebastian, I have a question." Ciel spoke for actually asking, he face a bit hesitant.

"Go ahead then." I said letting him continue not seeing as to why not.

"I know you have said before there was another form to you other than human, are you going to go back to that original state? Also is the other demons here that way too?" He asked no longer holding back.

"Observant as always, Ciel. Yes, it true that I still have my true form, but I have always retrained from using it. And I intend to keep it that way, especially since you are here now. As for other demons, it's merely a preference thing. Most stay in human form because it is easier to get meals, draw them in, in a way. We usually only go into that form is we need to battle because it makes us stronger. But other than that, there no need." I would never really want Ciel to see me that way anyways. Underneath this, I'm a horrible beast. I'd rather have him always see me like this. I guess that was probably the only thing I was self-conscious about.

"Good to know I suppose. I was wondering if you could show me where I am to sleep, I'm quite exhausted all of a sudden. I guess everything is finally catching up to me." He spoke putting a hand to his mouth and he yawned quietly.

"Are you sure? You haven't had anything to eat in a long time, you're sure to be hungry." I was still not quite sure where I was going to find food here, but I would leave that for later if he really did want to sleep.

"I'm sure." Ciel said softly.

"Very well then, I shall take you to your room." I picked up the half-asleep boy into my arms carrying him off into a plain room. Only there was medium sized bed, a dresser, and a mirror. It was the only bed in the house, and I rarely every used it to sleep on anyways so I decided it was fine for him to have it.

I laid him across the tinted sheets, laying his head on one of the pillows. I covered him up with only the cover sheet, thinking it would get to hot if he was fully tucked in.

I gazed at the side of his face for a moment, taking him in. He was still as beautiful as always. I thought with a sigh. Believing he was already fast asleep, I made my way for the door. I almost exited completely until I heard a small voice beacon for me.

"Sebastian, please stay by my side. I'm not use to this place yet, and despite how tired I am I cannot sleep." He was the clutching the pillow tight in a fist, burrowing his face into it. A sense of déjà vu washed over me at his words. He had said them to me on rare occasions at night, when his nightmares had plagued him. But somehow now this was different.

I smiled genuinely, happy at the request. "Yes, of course, how foolish of me. This is quite a strange atmosphere to be thrown in." I walked over to the side of the bed he was one, kneeling in the ground so I was face level with his back. He turned around slowing, so his face was only a couple inches away.

"Thank you, Sebastian." He spoke and he closed his eyes. His breathing becoming steadier. He words had stabbed right through me like bullets. Against my will, I brought my lips to the center of his fore-head, leaving them there for but only a second, but what lasted much longer to me. I pulled away, running my hand through his blue-grey hair, coaxing him deeper into sleep. A smile formed on his face.I let my head drop so it was on the edge of the bed, closer to his, squeezing my eyes shut. What is this feeling? I have no idea where this is coming from, but it doesn't feel bad. I pulled my head back once I was sure he was asleep and made me way out of his room, pausing at the door to watch the boy in slumber for just a second longer. Just another second of being with him, but it meant so much more. I left the room without a sound. I walked into the living room, and sat down in the closest chair, putting my head in my hands.

"Heh, it looks like my Mother was correct, I did fall for my meal."
