Yes he had been quite bored and frustrated before he had taken his leave, but upon returning he found in the following days he was twice as bored and three times as frustrated. Each day he would try for his usual routine, the one that had been going on ever since his master was a child, but each time he would be turned away. Each morning he would enter the young man's room to find him already dressed, each night when he would offer to help him bathe his master would turn him away telling him he was damn well old enough to do such things for himself, besides he had learned to do all of these things on his own after Sebastian had abandoned him. He loved to rub that in; every chance he was given he would send cruel words in the demons direction, he could barely even look the butler in the eye anymore. That was where he was frustrated, it had been foolish to leave and he understood that fully; he was ordered to never lie, betray, or to leave the blue eyed man's side. He had come very close to ruining the contract completely by breaking three of the most important rules set between them.

"Sebastian do you have to be in here while I work?" The man snapped as he glared in the demon's direction.

He looked curiously down at the other man who looked at him with so much hatred, he wondered just how pure that hatred was.

"Don't I normally stand by your side my Lord?"

"You're a hypocritical fool and you don't even have mind enough to realize it." He laughed and turned his attention away from the butler and back to his work.

It annoyed him yes, his master had always had a talent for annoying him, but he did have to remind himself that for once his master's frustrations were well placed.

"Exactly for how long do you intend on being angry towards me?" He asked sighing, he was already becoming exhausted with their game.

"Just how long do you believe I should be angry towards you demon?"

That was another thing that annoyed him; the way Ciel mostly referred to him as a demon, beast, monster, or an animal. He missed the days of hearing his name coming from this beautiful man's mouth, it was so rare now.

"I had my reasons my Lord and you have every right to be irritated, but surely you're tiring of this."

He could see his body tense, the younger man pulled his hands into fists hitting them against his desk. He suddenly stood nearly knocking the chair he had been sitting in over, before the butler could comprehend what was happening Ciel's hands were wrapped tightly around his throat. He slammed the demon back against the wall, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock at the sudden attack delivered by his master.

"You bastard, is everything a game to you; is my life just a bloody game? Do you even realize how much pain I was in when I was attacked and even before that?" He yelled

So much malice, so much pain; his grip tightened around the demon's throat making him quite grateful that he had little use for oxygen.

"Do you?" He yelled pulling him from the wall then shoving him to the floor.

"I apologize my Lord" He whispered as he stared up at his master.

"Leave, I don't even care if you leave the grounds; just get out of my sight, return by tonight though just so I know you haven't abandoned me again." He said his voice softer now, he seemed to visibly relax now that he released some of his pent up rage.

Sebastian silently stood to his feet and left the room; he went to his own room. There were plenty of chores he needed to tend to in the day and he would get to them, but at the moment he just needed a bit of comfort.

"Come here darling, I've missed you, come on it's alright." He called gently as he kneeled down next to his bed.

He heard a soft cry then a moment later a black kitten poked its head out from under the bed, it's bright green eyes studying it's owner. With another low cry it went up to the black haired man nuzzling its face against his right hand. Sebastian gave a small smile at the tiny animal, the way it purred, and how much it enjoyed seeing him again. Only if his master could forgive so easily.
