Ciels POV

"Sebastian do I have any reason to fear this so called 'Council'" I asked after seeing how weirdly Sebastian reacted to me asking if his grandfather was one of them. Really I was just pulling at strings, I didn't even know if Sebastian's grandfather was living or now. But it seemed I was correct in asking.

"Well, in the off chance that the majority of the demons living here want a 'trial' of sorts we both would be brought to be evaluated in some ways. Mostly standard things, like how old were you when you deceased. How many years did we spend together before your death." He spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"How is any of that standard interrogations questions?!" I shouted frustrated.

He merely laughed at my scrunched up face and too hold of my hand again. I sighed at the feeling of his fingers intertwining with mine. I wouldn't deny it, it was a good feeling. After everything that had gone on with Sebastian's mother I'm at least happy that I don't have to hide everything I was feeling in me anymore. It was unbelievably cheesy, so I will only say it in my head. But I'm just glad to be with Sebastian like this. Even knowing there were so many things that wanted us gone, well me anyways, I could ignore that. And just focus of the touch of my own Demon beside me. I just hope he isn't able to read my thoughts right now or I would be in for even more mocking.

"What about your grandfather, what would he have to say about all this? Since apparently he is part of this government of demons." He could be the decided verdict in all of this is things weren't played right. I shuddered at the thought.

"He is definitely an influence on the other council members. But as for me he can be a bit… how should I say it, Bi-polar. Yes." Sebastian replied, I couldn't tell if it was worry or frustration in his voice.

"What is that suppose to mean? Can demons even have that type of disorder?" I asked.

"No, of course not, we aren't human after all. I meant that, his opinion on me changes frequently. Sometimes he loves how independent I can be and others he wishes me to find a mate already and settle down at my young age. He is just a confusing old man, really." He said that last line with a chuckle.

Wait does that mean he doesn't want to settle down with me? Wait what? Do I even want to settle down myself?! I'm only 13 for goodness sakes. Jesus, why the hell am I thinking like this? Why do I keep on asking my own self questions that I can't even answer?! God dammit!

"Oh, really. It must be hard to know what he is really thinking all the time then." That's all I could come up with after having that little battle in my head.

"It's hard to tell what anyone is thinking at any time, Ciel." I felt his hand squeeze mine like before. Sure it was comforting but sent lightning bolts to my heart at the same time.

"Well, I suppose that is true. Sorry." I let my head drop for a moment only.

"There is no reason to apologize to me Ciel. I love you." He clearly spoke, sending more bolts right through me. My eyes widened considerably.

"Eh, w-what did you say?" I stuttered in shock.

"I love you, Ciel. I love you right down to your very soul which first caught my attention before anything else. Not to say that I don't love this." He paused to run his thumb over my lips gently. I unintentionally kissed the tip of it as it passed by. Sebastian grinned.

"Do you love me too Ciel. Say it won't you?" He inquired.

"Baka, of course I do. I don't kiss just anyone you know." I pouted and folded my arms across my chest.

"Then all you have to do it say it out loud. Humor me." Somehow his voice began to coax it out of me.

"I love you, alright. Happy?" I muttered out. Trying to look stern but my face got even redder.

"Yes, very. Let's continue shall we?" He now asked. A smirk permanently imprinted on his face.

"Un."

We walked in more silence for a while, ignoring the whispers that were ever present. Until we had finally arrived in front of a store on the off skirts of the main strip. Its name being simply "Humans."

"We've arrived, Ciel." Sebastian spoke stopping in front of the place.

"Ah, it looks rather new compared to the other buildings around here?" I examined the store closer. The painting job wasn't yet cracked but you could tell it was on its way. The bushes framing the door entrance weren't all brown and decaying, bits of green still showing through.

"That is correct. The store owner had a similar case to our own, he brought a human back to our world. A human who is supposedly fell in love with." He paused to give me a smile which I merely blushed at.

"Yeah yeah, get on with it already!" I tugged at his arm.

"Right well, when he came here he obviously faced the same challenges as our own, but to a lesser extent. The human he brought back was a woman, an adult in fact. So, it was accepted a lot easier for the residents here. They did end up going to court for a trial though, but it was unanimous. The demon would still have to feed once every 5 years or so and the human would be fully made a resident of our world. Now they own this store together making periodical trips back down to the human world to get the few supplies they need. There is only a few other humans here besides you and this now demons wife. No one truly knows how they arrived here, but it is said that they were given a choice between Hell or here so their decision was clear." He told the story as if it had just happened.

"Ah, I see. Wait Sebastian does that mean we could go back to visit the human wor-" I was cut off before I could finish by a booming voice.

"Mister Antony! My nephew! How I have missed you so, it seems the rumours of your return back were true!"

"Uncle Admes! It's good to see you again! How has Aunt Marie been doing?" Sebastian asked seemingly with true joy.

"Wait Nephew? Uncle? Sebastian?!" What hell was going on?! I seem to be very lost right now.

"She is doing just fine, I'd tell her to come out to see you but she always get's angered with me if I wake her from sleep. Please come inside!" The demon laughed.

"That reminds me of someone." Sebastian smiled looking back down at me and I scowled.

"Oh who is this small one? What is your name boy?" The all-to-jolly-to-be-a-demon asked.

"Ciel Phantomhive." I replied harshly from being called small. Who does he think he is besides Sebastian's uncle? The nerve.

I saw his eyes travel to my small hand intertwined with Sebastian's much larger one. Immediately pulling out of grip and turning my head pretending to have some sudden interest with the random knickknacks hung up on the wall.

"Please excuse Ciels manners, he doesn't liked to be teased." Sebastian apologized for me making my eyes narrow but neither of them noticed.

"I was teasing him? Oh I hadn't even intended too! Though I completely understand, a human child in this environment must be tough. I mean Marie was already 21 when I brought her here. Oh that being said Antony, why is he here?" He paused before realizing what he had said. "Not that I mean to be rude at all, I am merely interested to why my nephew would want-" I raised my eyebrows before he could finish that sentence. "What I mean is what happens to be the circumstances for your current situation?" he spoke seeming trying to choose his words very carefully as to not piss me off.

I scoffed which was covered up by Sebastian coughing. "Well uncle, to put it so the story doesn't take days to explain; it began when Ciel summoned me on his death bed 3 years ago…" He started.

Admes eyebrows were already rising in intrigue.

Well this should be interesting.

SCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSCSC

Sebastian continued to tell our story together, simplified of course. He explained our contract and how he would be my butler to stand by my side and protect me until the day I would die for a second time. Skipping details such as the Jack the Ripper case, and the Curry contest with Agni and Soma. He did take the time to mention briefly my other servants Finny, Maylene, Bard and their special talents beyond what they were appointed as.

I had to tell him to shut up a few times when he mentioned more embarrassing things about my personality. Like how I still had problems with sleeping in a bedroom alone, and that I had to have a certain pillow or I would never be able to fall asleep. But he then proceeded to tell that it was these things that had originally made him start to have feelings for me more that a demon and any normal butler was suppose to have. These things made me smile briefly but I still smacked his arms for talking like that in front of other people.

After everything was said and done, Admes certainly seemed to be having a bit of an overload but then still grinned at both of us.

"I am very happy for you two and hope you both have all the happiness possible. Consider this me giving you my blessing if that even counts for anything. I'm assuming you haven't gotten my sister's yet?" He asked.

"You're related to that devil woman?!" I suddenly burst out without realizing it.

"Ahaha, I'll take that as a no, and yes that is my older sister Lucianna. She use to get to angry with me when I called her 'Luci' for a while." He laughed at the memory.

"No, uncle as expected mother is definitely against everything about this. I remember how she reacted when she saw Marie for the first time." Sebastian noticeably cringed as did Admes.

"Yes, it is not something I like to think about often neither Marie. I would think it would have been twice as worse since you are her son." He spoke with sadness in his voice.

"Unfortunately. Ciel was very good at standing up to her though, I believe he even frightened her for a moment there." Sebastian grinned at me.

"I doubt she was scared, baka." I muttered.

"Even so, my sister can be the scariest being alive, well in a sense, sometimes! For you to talk back to her is amazing!" He patted my head making me scrunch down at his strength.

"Anyways, you must have had a reason to come here today other than to chat with me, what will you be needing?" He asked now.

"Well, Ciel will be need a few new outfits. Nothing too flashy, no need for him to stand out and further. And some food of course."

I looked down at my current outfit. It wasn't flashy at all in my opinion. It was one of my standard double breasted suit jackets with shorts to match. My tattered bow hanging from my neck. If anything I thought I looked a bit rubbish at the moment with my dirtied clothes. Of course I had no idea what was considered 'flashy' here. Or even what demons 'my age' dressed like.

"Certainly, I'll have to go to the back room first since it's very rare if at all we get customers Ciel's size come into the store. Be back in a moment!" I scowled one last as time as his back turned to go disappear into some other room.

"Why didn't you say he was your uncle before when you were telling me about him?" I asked Sebastian now that we were alone.

"You didn't ask." He replied with a slight smirk on his lips.

I let out an exasperated "che" at him.

"Oh right, I meant to ask this earlier. When you said that Admes and Marie would go back to the human world to get supplies does that me we could maybe go back as well? I mean just to see how things are doing, you know." This question randomly came back into my head right now.

"Ah, I forgotten I mentioned that briefly before. Well, I still have to feed even if it's every 5 years or so and I can only do that where there are humans. Though when that happens I wouldn't be searching for a long time thing such as yourself. But yes, we are permitted to go back once a month for whatever business." He replied.

"Oh, I see. What have you done if I had lived much longer than now? For food I mean." I couldn't imagine him going after anyone else but myself. A bit of jealousy rising in me.

"A quick meal would have been called for. Not much searching just to find a soul that wouldn't cause too much uproar if it happened to disappear. It would suffice for some time, but definitely not as much as yours is going to last me." He smiled as if that was a compliment. Well I guess in a way it was. "Your soul might last for close to 8 years, way above the average."

"That's good, I suppose." I mumbled.

"Ciel if you are thinking that you could ever be replaced you are wrong. I have never come across anyone like you in all my years. Your soul is truly one of a kind."

"That sounds like a bad pick up line, Sebastian. I hope you know that." Restraining a laugh at how cheesy it sounded.

"But completely and utterly correct, my Ciel." His had reached my face and caressed it softly.

"My Ciel. Do you hear how ridiculous you sound?" My voice was losing its stern tone. I let out a sigh and leaned more into his hard.

"You are my heaven, Ciel."

So, I couldn't find much a better quote for this chapter. But I think it suits it, since it's the first time they actual come out and say they love each other xD Also, if you were wondering Ciel means Heaven in French. I was kinda writing this chapter with the latest chapter of Kuroshitsuji that just came out a couple days ago. How many of you cried? *raises hand* Omg it was so sad x.x, I won't give anything away to anyone who hasn't read it yet, but srsly do already it was pretty good. And you will probably get the small little bit that I took from in and snuck in it here. I actually really like Sebby's uncle! Sorry to Ciel for making him a bit annoying but he kinda reminds me of my uncle in a way ^3^ OH AND HAPPY NEW YEARS! Woah it's been a while since I posted last hasn't xD
