Sebastian stepped out into the massive garden and took a deep breath of the warm, summer air. Life was buzzing around him as he walked around the path to give Ciel's morning to to him. Ciel was sitting underneath a large tree, blooming with flowers; his head was leaned back, and his eyes were closed. He looks so beautiful when the sun hits him just right, Sebastian thought. Just as he stepped next to Ciel, Ciel opened his eyes, looking straight up at Sebastian.

"Every position I'm in, you've always got a new beauty to you," Ciel said, as Sebastian set down his tea.

"As do you, Young Master."

"What's my schedule?" Ciel asked glancing up at Sebastian's eyes.

"Your whole day is free, Young Master."

"I see. Thank you. You may go."

"Yes, Sir." Sebastian bowed, and left. Moments passed before Ciel got up and walked though a little path that led up to his private Gazebo. Why can't you do anything right? Ciel thought sadly. I need to quit treating him like a butler...Ciel began day dreaming of dressing Sebastian in expensive clothing.

"Ciiiieeeellll!" A voice squealed, which snapped him back to reality. Oh no...Ciel groaned in annoyance.

"I'm baaaack!" I know that...Ciel thought, grumpily. Lizzy suddenly charged out from behind some nearby rose bushes and ran up to hug Ciel. Ciel pushed her away like moldy cheese.

"What are you here for Lizzy?" Ciel asked, glancing at her frilly, purple dress.

"I'm here because of you, silly!"

"Why?"

"Did you already forget our conversation from last night?" She whispered, obviously hurt.

"N-no!"

"Good, good! So how'd it go?"

"F-fine," Ciel stuttered, starting to get nervous. He began backing up to sit in the Gazebo's chairs.

"Oh, come on! Have you tried going out on a date? Or just out somewhere?!"

"No..."

"How boring," she pouted. "Well? Aren't you free today? You have nothing on your schedule!" Ciel glared at her suspiciously, "How do you know that?"

"Oh, dear Ciel...I KNOW EVERYTHING!"

"What?"

"Everything thing, Ciel. Everything!" She giggled creepily.

"Riiiight." Ciel said nervously as he slowly backed away.

"Eeeeverythiiiining." She backed away behind the same rose bush she popped out from.

"See you later, Ciel!" She hollered. Ciel watched as her frilly, purple hat bounced up and down as she skipped out ofd the garden. What a pain, he thought. Just then, a large shadow came up behind him. Noticing it, Ciel spun around, startled by the sudden appearance.

"Are you alright, Young Master?" Sebastian said. Ciel let out a short, ragged breath.

"Oh, Sebastian, it's you."

"Who else would it be, who can sneak up behind you without you noticing it, Young Master?"

"Er, you..."

"Yes."

Ciel kept repeating to himself, make a move, make a move, make a move...He didn't know if this was the right time, or if he would accept this. Ciel decided to use Lizzy's advice now. He reached his hand up and cuped Sebastian's cheek softly running his thumb over his cheek. Sebastian put his hand over Ciel's and closed his eyes kissing Ciel's hand. Ciel eyes widened when Sebastian accepted all this. Ciel's heart fluttered and as he was about to say something when Sebastian kissed his hand again and whispered quietly that he was going to get some tea. Ciel sat there for a moment and sighed.

"His kiss was so soft and sweet," Ciel whispered to himself as he put his hand to his lips and kissed the spot where Sebastian had kissed his hand. Ciel finally got up to go in the house to finish what he started today. Lizzy smirked as she hid in the bushes. Sebastian sat in the kitchen staring at the tea he had made for Ciel.

"His hand was so soft...," Sebastian mumbled. His heart pounded as he was bringing out the young Earl's tea, then his heart stopped when he heard Ciel say something he'd ever heard.

"Sebastian, have tea with me, I would like to...talk with you."

"My Y-Young Lord?! I am a butler I shouldn't-" Ciel cut him off.

"You are a butler, that is true, but we never had a casual conversation in the 3 years I've known you. So, please, sit and have tea with me."

"Yes, Master." Sebastian said, and sat obediently. "What would you like to talk of, Sir?"

"I don't know." Ciel responded calmly, trying to keep his excitement from overflowing, while he was sitting face to face with Sebastian. There was an awkward silence. Ciel picked up the unread newspaper and began reading for ideas. He suddenly stopped reading when he found an article on a new beach opening up near where they were.

"Would-" Both Sebastian and Ciel started.

"Yes, Sir?" Sebastian waited.

"No, no, you first." Ciel motioned to him.

"Oh no, Young Master, you spoke first." Sebastian motioned back.

"No, no, you go ahead." Ciel blushed. Short silence.

"Would you like to go to-" Sebastian paused.

"Go to the new beach opening?" Ciel finished for him.

"Y-yes!" They answered together. Another silence. There was a squeal from behind the bushes near them. Both, Sebastian and Ciel jumped, startled.

"I'm soooo exciiiited!" Lizzy squealed happily. "I'll make hotel reservation!"

"Lizzy..." Ciel rolled his eyes.

"You'll leave next weekend...for a week!"

"Lizzy..." Ciel sighed annoyed.

"Master, leave her, she seems...happy." Sebastian said, smiling.

"I see...so it shall be. We'll leave next weekend." Ciel blushed. Lizzy skipped out of the garden, happily.

"It is starting to get hot, would you like to come inside?" Sebastian gave Ciel his arm.

"Yes, actually, I would..." Ciel blushed. Leaving his teacup behind.

"I'll get one of the maids to pick that up." Sebastian muttered to himself. As they were walking back inside the mansion, Ciel kept looking at Sebastian's hand and started reaching for it, but decided that he'd save it for the weekend. A few days later it was Thursday and Ciel, sweating, as he packed his bags knew he might not be ready for this. He finished packing as Lizzy busted through the door.

"Ciel! I'm so excited! Can I watch over the house? PWEEEAAASE?!"

"Fine, but if anything's broken you won't be allowed to come here for ten years!" Lizzy straightened up and saluted as she said, "Yes, Sir!" As she giggled. Ciel sighed and started down the stairs with his bags when Sebastian grabbed his bags for him brushing his hands across Ciels. Ciel blushed and looked away to get his blush under control.

"The car is ready, Young Master." Sebastian looked to him as he pur the last bag in.

"Alright!" Ciel said as Sebastian opened the door for him.

"Off you go! Goodbye! Adieu! Sayonara!" Lizzy yelled out to them. She is so annoying Ciel thoguht, rubbing his temples. Sebastian got in beside him. Ciel looked at him, confused.

"Lazy Elizabeth hired a chauffeur." Ciel looked from him, then crawled up to the frontseat to see who was there. A man sat up front and turned around to be face to face with Ciel.

"Good morning, Sir." The man smiled. Ciel smiled and crawled back, only to land in Sebastian's lap. Sebastian blushed as Ciel looked up at him, smiling. They both laughed after a small, quick silence. Ciel was kicking his legs with excitement.

"This is going to be fun!" Sebastian looked at Ciel shocked for a moment, but smiled at his master's happiness; he'd never seen it only heard of it from Tanaka and Lady Elizabeth.

"Indeed, Y-"

"Ciel; call me Ciel during our vacation."

"Yes, Ciel." Sebastian said, liking the way 'Ciel' sounded. When he looked down at Ciel he blushed softly as he held the sleeping Earl in his arms.

When they arrived at the beach the chauffeur started carrying in all the luggage. Sebastian shook Ciel gently, when Ciel's eyes started to open up he found himself on a large bed inside their grand hotel.

"We're here?"

"Yes, we have arrive, Ciel."

"Now, Sebastian please tell me your not wearing your butler suit the whole time!" Ciel said, smirking.

"No, no, I do have my own personal clothing." He does? Ciel thought, I wonder...

Ciel walked up to the large glass window and looked out. The chauffeur was getting in his car, when he turned around, bowed to Ciel, got in, and drive away. H-how did he know I was here? Ciel thought suspiciously.

"Anything wrong, Young-I mean, Ciel." Sebastian asked.

"What? Er, no... There's nothing wrong I was just looking down at the scenery." Ciel responded. He looked around to find something and get them off the topic. He remembered while they were still driving, they had looked over the map into what was there, near the beach. Ciel remembered there was a town with many shops near the ocean.

"There is a shop I was wanting to go to. Let's go." Ciel said as he grabbed his shoes.

"It's around noon, would you like your afternoon tea first?" Sebastian asked.

"Let's try something new. There is that one coffee shop I wanted to try out."

"The one just off the beach?" Sebastian asked.

"Yes." Once they left the hotel, they began walking towards the beach which only took a couple of minutes. Hold his hand...hold his hand! Ciel thought. No...no...we're in public; that's a bad idea. Why would you even consider that Ciel? He asked himself. Before he could think another word, Sebastian grabbed hold of Ciel, picking him up in his arms.

"Sebastian! What are you doing?!" Ciel said, surprised.

"Another Demon." Sebastian said quietly.

"Is that a problem? Wouldn't he have someone to have bonded with?" Ciel asked looking around.

"This Demon is bonded. He is looking at you." Sebastian said sternly. Ciel could tell Sebastian wasn't very happy as they passed the Demon and the bonder. The boy was a little older than Ciel, he wore trunks, his hair was a bit spiky and he was a beautiful tan color. The Demon, on the other hand, was magnificent, more than beautiful.

"Sebastian...you can let me down now..." Ciel said as they passed.

"I'm sorry, Ciel...the look he gave you, got me too protective of you." Ciel had no idea what to say, instead of answering, he pointed out the coffee shop and they went in; forgetting all that had happened.

"Ciel, I was meaning to talk to you about-," Sebastian stopped mid sentence noticing Ciel just blankly staring at him. Unconsciously Ciel whispered, "so beautiful..." Sebastian smiled and continued his sentence with Ciel's words burning into his skull.

"-our relationship," Sebastian fnished. Ciel snapped back to reality.

"Ah...yes?" What about it?" Ciel blushed and took a sip of his coffee. They looked into eachother's eyes and whispered quietly, "I love you."
