Chapter Four

Perhaps arrogant wasn't the right way to describe Sebastian Michaelis. A better description would be insane, or even satanic. Ciel had laughed at what the crimson-eyed man had said, how utterly crazy. Sebastian looked oddly serious as Ciel laughed, pointing an alabaster finger in the male's direction. He was ovewelmed by the absolute hilarity of the whole situation. The man was clearly out of his mind, making promises he couldn't keep and now claiming to be a demon.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Ciel yelled, throwing his hands up, "You actually think that you're a god damn demon? You're nuts, man. There are no demons or gods or anything of the sorts! You need to face reality!"

"I don't think you quite understand, Phantomhive," Sebastian replied, his voice silky and calm. Ciel stopped laughing and stared. He seemed extremely serious. Could he be potentially dangerous? It's not like Ciel had any chance of defending himself. Sebastian was much larger than him and looked like when he was angered he could kill. It was most likely the man had been planning on killing him and Alois since the start. Truthfully, Ciel always imagined his end in a gruesome way in which he was violated and brutally ripped apart. He just thought it would be with some pervert, not a man who claimed to be some supernatural force.

"I do understand, Sebastian. You going to rape me too? Is that your little contract?" Ciel asked with a smirk. He wanted to look like he was still important and able to defend himself verbally around the so called demon. He didn't feel afraid, which was odd. He searched Sebastian's face but only observed boredom.

"Demons do not partake in such humanesque activities. Our contracts are meaningful and important. Insulting them like you have been is not advised. Shall I prove that I am a demon?" Sebastian asked, blinking dismissively at the lesser being.

"By all means, you freak," Ciel growled, his hands balled into fists and held steady by his sides. Sebastian closed his eyes for a moment and when they opened they were a shining fuschia, his pupils nothing more but slits. He smirked, his lips parted slightly to reveal sharp canines. Ciel stumbled back, falling onto the soft grey rug underneath him. Now he had done it. He had angered a demon! This man was truly a demon! Ciel's mind raced and his face was etched with complete fear. Sebastian had noiced the change and dropped his demon facade, looking at the stunned blue haired boy.

"Do you believe me now? Don't be afraid. I'm not going to hurt you," Sebastian sighed, sitting on his couch as if nothing ever happened.

"I'm not afraid," Ciel said darkly, "What do you want from me, demon?"

"Oh simple. Your soul. See what happens is that I will serve you until you complete your goal, whatever it may be. Once it is complete I eat your soul. Seeing as you don't believe in God I guess not going to heaven won't bother you, hm? I am only offering you this once. I suggest you make the decision best for you," he explained.

"I want to make a contract with you." Ciel replied quickly. His heart was racing, but he tried to look as if he wasn't afraid in the least.

"Are you sure? Think carefully." the demon pressed. He wanted his contractees not to regret their decisions. Like Ciel, Sebastian was rather prideful in his own way.

"I am positive. Don't be so tedious. I want to make a contract with you," Ciel growled. Sebastian stood and held out a hand to help Ciel off of the floor. The bluenette hesitantly took it as the demon lifted him off the ground.

"Now, what is your wish?" his voice was in a low purr, almost a whisper. his eyes glowing once more. Ciel closed his eyes and took a breath.

"I want revenge on the people who killed my parents," Ciel said quietly. The demon didn't show any change in emotion, but he was quite shocked. He was expecting the contract to be relitavely easy like every other person the demon had assisted in this city; revenge on all the men who had raped them. This contract was sure to be interesting.

Alois had currently been sleeping in Sebastian's bathroom, his head laying on the toilet. He had only woken when he heard a scream. The blonde jumped up, wiping the drool off of his cheek and practically kicking down the door to get out. By the time he had gotten out of the bathroom, nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary until he saw Ciel's face. One of his eyes seemed to be a strange color and a steady stream of blood was running down his face.

"What did you do to hi- Oh my god!" Alois shivered and gasped, staring at Sebastian's eyes. Ciel wiped the blood with the back of his hand, walking up to Alois and putting a hand on his shoulder.

"It's fine. I'm fine. Don't worry, Alois. I made a contract with a demon," Ciel responded, seeming awfully bored. Alois's eyes were wide with shock.

"W-What?!" he screeched, looking around frantically.

"He may not be able to comprehend," Sebastian replied, crossing his arms over his chest. Alois looked extremely confused, staring.

"Sebastian's a demon?" Alois whispered, "Holy shit... I would have had no idea! I met one once and he wasn't nearly as kind as Sebastian..."

"So there are other demons in this area?" Sebastian asked, tilting his head.

"Alois you met a fucking demon and you didn't tell me? We tell everything to eachother!" Ciel growled.

"He didn't tell me his name but he has these gold eyes and glasses. He's been talking to me for a while. I didn't want you to think I was crazy... You didn't even believe in demons or anything, Ciel." Alois replied, jerking away from Ciel's touch.

"I haven't met him," Sebastian replied, completely uninterested in the whole situation. He was viewing the mark on the back of his hand, the mark of the covenenant.

"Whatever." Ciel said darkly, "I'll need something to hide this mark."

"We can get you a blue eye contact," Sebastian said, still uninterested.

"Ciel, ah, I need to tell you something," Alois said quietly.

"You can tell me in front of Sebastian. I can order him as I please so don't be worried about him being an asshole to you. Hear that, demon?" Ciel said, smirking. His ego was getting larger by the second.

"Yes, of course, my Lord," he replied.

"Ciel, I uh, go to see him when you go to work..." Alois whispered, blushing darkly.

"Alois Trancy you could have been doing things to support us and instead you went out with some fucking demon?" Ciel yelled.

"If you're going to yell at me, I'm going to leave!" Alois yelled. Tears welled up in his eyes and he ran out of the apartment.

"Alois!" Ciel yelled, "Fuck!" The bluenette collapsed on the couch and sighed.

"Are you alright, Young Master?" Sebastian asked. Ciel snorted and sighed once more.

"I just made a really big mistake..."

"How so?"

"Alois is going to go to that other demon because I pissed him off and be suckered into some god damn contract."

"Is that the way you feel about contracts, hm? Am I not good enough of a demon for my contract to be considered worthy of someone like you?"

"Sebastian... I'm not in the mood. Do you think we should go after him?"

"I would if I were you. But, then again, I am not human. I don't really understand how you think. Especially you, Master."

"When did you start calling me your master? Is that some kind of kink?"

"Quite possibly," Sebastian said with a chuckle. Ciel sat up and moved closer to Sebastian. He leaned on him, feeling the need for comfort.

"I feel really bad now... Comfort me, demon."

"Suddenly you have the authority over me and you begin to enjoy my company? How arrogant. Very interesting, though," Sebastian replied, putting an arm around his master, contemplating over what his soul would taste like. "You are quite the case. I've been making contracts with prostitutes and strippers so I can get a quick meal. I only have to kill one person that raped them and they so willingly give me their soul. It's been a long time since I've gotten a real fine soul like yours. I was expecting you wanting me to kill that pervert, not get revenge on your parents. Very practical of you. Abusing your power over me is a trait most interesting. Your personality is very different than my past masters',"

"Over analyzing me, hm? Looks like you've got a crush, Sebastian," Ciel said with a halfhearted chuckle.

Alois shivered in the cold, tears streaming down his pink stained cheeks. He was desperate, roaming around the city looking for that demon. He was whining and his whole body hurt. He felt as if he was going to vomit once again and he needed to lay down. Even so, he kept fighting the cold wind looking for the man. The ice cold gusts sliced against his cheeks like knifes. He had to find the demon. He had to.

"Please! Come out, show yourself! Please! I need you! I'm ready to make a contract!" Alois yelped, stumbling into an alley way and dropping to his knees, sobbing for the demon that would most likely never come. The only reason Alois even kept living was because he had a friend in Ciel. Every time the bluenette hurt his feelings, it drove Alois further away from him. All Alois wanted was love. He wanted to be cared for and sought after. Perhaps that was his downfall. The needy boy was stunned when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see a man with the same colored hair as Sebastian, but styled completely differently. He looked far more intimidating, his gold eyes filled with cold darkness. He wore a thin pair of glasses and had a straight look on his face.

"You came!" Alois yelled. He jumped up and wrapped his arms around the man, snuggling into him.

"This isn't like the other times, is it. You're serious about making the contract?" he responded, standing stiffly.

"Oh, yes, quite so. I want you..." Alois whispered, lightly stroking the demon's chest.

"You must tell me what you want," he said blankly, ignoring Alois's advances.

"It's simple enough," Alois whispered seductively, "I want everyone who has hurt me to suffer. Including Ciel Phantomhive,"

A/N: This chapter was completely different from what I invisioned it to be. I really want to expand on how Ciel treats Alois at times and how that affects his behaviour. Alois is obviously unstable and hurt and while I wrote this I wanted to show the fragilinity of his whole mindset. I will definitely delve into Alois's feelings and thoughts in the next chapter.

Thank you all for reading. It is very much appreciated!
