Author's Note
I think you guys deserve more than one chapter today for being so patient. c: So here's another for you! With two more song suggestions!
Last Song by Gackt. That man has such a sexy voice. x3
And… The Conqueror Worm (Edgar Allan Poe) by Sopor Aeternus. Or the instrumental version 'cause it's damn awesome too.
A few weeks had past since the blanket event and slowly but surely, Ciel had begun to open up to Sebastian. He still avoided the man, but on occasion he would sit as far as possible from him and watch whatever Sebastian was watching on TV, and he had started to trust the treats that the man brought home for him.
Sebastian was quite happy that the younger was at least speaking to him now and eating the food he brought home. It was expensive to bring home the pastries every day, so he was glad that Ciel was actually eating them now instead of throwing them away. The man wasn't satisfied with just this, however, he wanted a lot more, and he'd resorted to asking Grell for help again.
'Why don't you rent a movie and treat it like a date at your own home? He doesn't have to know that's what you think of it as,' the flamboyant red-head had suggested, and that's exactly what Sebastian had done.
'Hey Ciel,' the man said softly as they watched TV and the younger looked at him with a small frown.
'What?'
'I rented a movie. You can watch it with me if you'd like,' Sebastian smiled warmly at the blue-eyed man, 'the only thing is that it's a little bit scary.'
'Whatever, I don't mind,' Ciel shrugged and nodded. It would be nice to watch something other than crappy re-runs and the news for once.
By the end of the film, Ciel was shaking with his head buried in Sebastian's chest. The man couldn't help but smile; he'd hoped the younger would get scared and move a little closer so to have practically wrapped around him was wonderful.
'Come on,' the man cooed softly, 'it's alright. Honestly, the Exorcist isn't that scary.' He wrapped his arms around Ciel and shifted him so he was in Sebastian's lap.
'Yes it was!' the blue-eyed man whimpered, 'I hate scary movies!'
'Then why'd you agree to watch it?' Sebastian asked, unable to keep the grin from his face, 'was it because you wanted to be with me?'
'No!' Ciel shouted into the man's chest and Sebastian laughed a little.
'Come on then, I'll take you to bed,' he said, picking the young man up with ease and he carried him to his bedroom. As Sebastian stood to leave, Ciel grabbed his hand and looked up at him pleadingly, 'can't you stay?'
'I… Alright,' Sebastian nodded, 'move over a little.' Ciel did as the man said, letting go of him and moving over long enough so Sebastian could hop into the bed before he wrapped his arms around him again. 'Don't worry,' Sebastian smiled softly, 'I won't let any demons get you.' Ciel nodded, resting his head on the man's chest. The black-haired man couldn't help himself, and he kissed the younger man on the head. Ciel frowned up at Sebastian but said nothing. He didn't want to admit it, but he actually kind of liked the kiss; it made him feel a lot less frightened.
Ciel woke the next morning, a frown on his face. He could have sworn his bed was a lot warmer when he'd gone to sleep and it took him a moment to remember why. His face went a deep red as he remembered that Sebastian had slept in his bed with him, and the young man covered his face with his hands. There was definitely no way he was leaving his room now!
P.S.
Aww. Embarrassed Ciel is a cute Ciel. Don't worry little Earl, at least Sebastian doesn't tell you to take your clothes off at the dinner table like Jeremy does!
