It was getting late and a storm had stirred outside Ciel's window. The storm was fierce and it was very loud; it had been fabricated over a period of time so Ciel had anticipated its arrival. It was hard to fall asleep with all the noise outside; if it were a usual night it would have been so quite that you could hear a pin drop. Sebastian had undressed his master. Again, it was the same beautifully delicate skin that was pale and smooth. it was bruised by that horrid mark that his master despised so much. Sebastian did the buttons up one by one as Ciel watched his skilled fingers make its way to the last button. Sebastian undid the knot of the eye patch and as he did so Ciel's silken raven hair brushed lightly on his hands. Ciel was ready for bed now.

Sebastian stepped back "Good night my Lord" Sebastian said as he picked up the candles from Ciel's beside table and bowed before turning and heading toward the door. "Wait!" Ciel commanded as Sebastian reached for the doorknob. Ciel was feeling a slight bit disappointed, they had collected no new information on their current case, and Sebastian…~…Sebastian never answered his question. "Yes my Lord?" Sebastian replied. There was a long silence. "He never answered my question…does that mean he doesn't love me…He only sees me as a main course~~~" Ciel thought as he clutched his and bought his knees closer to his chest.

"Stay with me till I fall asleep…" Ciel mumbled under his breath, it was barely audible for the human ears; of course, Sebastian had ears of a demon which, unlike human hearing, was a thousand folds better in comparison. Sebastian smirked "Yes my lord" Ciel tugged his duvet over his head. "Is this the extent of the Phantomhive jealousy, I wonder…?" Sebastian thought to himself as he sighed at the awfully adorable ball Ciel had curled himself into.

Suddenly Ciel got out of bed and lifted a corner of the duvet "I can't sleep, I…I-I hate s-storms" Ciel said as he look away. Sebastian wasn't expecting Ciel to request him to sleep with him for the night! "Master, I think you must have forgotten I do not need to sleep, unlike humans" Sebastian gave a little smile "I would not mind staying by your side, however I do not need to rest…".

Ciel sharply pointed to the bed, but then the power of the gesture decreased as he looked away and recoiled his arms back toward his body "That's an o-order" Ciel said in an awfully weak voice. Unable to disobey an order, Sebastian sat upright on the bed, he patted the area next to him as if to say: come sleep here. Ciel ignored the gesture and scurried off, outside of the room. Sebastian was confused at what was going on, but he willed himself to leave it up to Ciel, as he had to abide to his master's wishes.

The door to the room slowly opened. Ciel had retuned but this wasn't his usual attire…

Ciel still wore his lose night shirt, however he had ebony black kitten ears on his head and small paws on his hands. Sebastian was more than shocked, he looked around and pinched himself to test if he had fallen asleep and was dreaming this ridiculous situation. Sebastian should know better than anyone that demons don't dream, but it was such a surprise that it he had to test himself just in case. This was not a dream, Sebastian confirmed.

Ciel shyly walked to the end of the bed, and crawled in a cat like fashion onto it. Ciel sat on top of Sebastian and licked his lips in an erotic manner making them glossy. Though Ciel looked confident in his gestures his body was trembling as pushed his hands against Sebastian's chest. Ciel dipped his body like a cat in a teasing manner; He whispered into Sebastian's ear "You like cats don't you? and because of me, you can't keep one…So I turned myself into a cat…just for you" Ciel's voice was unsteady, he looked into those deep garnet eyes of Sebastian, it still felt strange, but he didn't want Sebastian stolen from him.

"You are my one and only"

"You can use me as a replacement…I don't mind, I mean …Sebastian I lov…."Sebastian began to laugh under his breath. Ciel was getting mad "Why are you laughing! After I tried so hard too!" Ciel thought "What are you laughing at you blithering idiot!" He screamed at Sebastian. Ciel crossed his arms across his chest; Sebastian had ruined the mood completely!

Sebastian wiped a tear from the corner of his eye; he took off his gloves and took off the kitten headband from Ciel's hair. Ciel looked down in embarrassment. Sebastian began to stoke Ciel's hair as if he was a cat. Ciel began to blush he started to cool down and his face was a soft pink "Master, I would surely prefer you to any stray cat…and you can never be a replacement if you are my original Lord" Sebastian cupped his master's face in his warm hands. "My Master~" Ciel replayed those words in his head over and over again. He began to cry, his tears came out in floods as he clutched Sebastian's tail coat.

Ciel fell asleep in Sebastian's embrace, they stayed like that till the night had passed and the mourning sun arose. Sebastian could not believe how small his master was and yet how wonderfully he fitted in his arms. Ciel had a face like an angel; all doubts had been lifted from his heart. He felt slightly free. He felt slightly loved. He felt hungry for more but was satisfied with the emotional night they had spent together.

For this was only one of the more emotional nights they would spend in each other's arms…

"Ciel~ Evil Noblemen" and the "Queen's Watchdog", with a face like an angel it is almost unimaginable…yet…" Sebastian said as he left Ciel's room closing the door silently behind him.

Sebastian looked at his pocket watch. "Four more hours till the master awakes…I better get a move on"

….

"Claude~" Alois awoke in a daze. "CLAAAAUUUDDDEEE!" he screamed. There was a knock at the door. "Come in! ~" Alois said in a sing song tune, however it wasn't Claude at the door, it was Hannah and the whispering demon triplets. "Where is Claude?" Alois demanded of Hannah. "You're highness good morning, Claude…He set off to the Phantomhive mansion early today" she said in a quiet voice while always staring to the floor. She wouldn't dare raise her gaze; she had learnt her lesson from before and wasn't going to repeat her mistake.

"Phantomhive manor? No what could Claude be possibly doing?" Alois grabbed the closest vase and threw it at Hannah. She flinched, putting her hands up in defence; however, it missed and hit the wall behind her. Alois was breathing heavily and his face was scrunched up in anger. One of the demon brothers passed a message to Hannah after a little bit of Chinese whispers. Hannah nodded her head. "Highness, last night you told Claude to invite the Phantomhives for a party. You wanted to thank their butler in providing you with good service" Hannah's eyes were darting from place to place until they finally rested on Alois's feet. Alois crossed his legs on top of the other; he held his head in his hand and smiled

"Did I now? Well let's be sure to have a smashing time" Alois said with a smug look on his face
