Author's Note

So… I really suck. xDD;; We'll just mark this as being on hiatus, shall we? Haha… ; Sorry for being so full of fail, I have a few assessments at the moment (one's due on my birthday! D'x), and my holidays got busy towards the end. Plus I'm working on my own fic which I would really like to get published (if I ever manage to finish it).
Song recommendation is Kagamine Rin's version of Meltdown. I don't like the others.

The days rolled by much too slowly for Sebastian's liking. He wished this whole "being nice" thing worked faster, but it seemed Ciel didn't trust him in the slightest. There was the one perk of being able to kiss the younger man, however, as he seemed to tolerate it.

'Oh~? Where's your brat?' Grell asked, sliding into a booth next to his favourite customer and getting far too close, as usual.

'He's sick,' the black-haired man replied, 'so I'll be getting something to go for him.'

'Aww, aren't you sweet?' the redhead replied with a small giggle, 'I'd love to see how sweet you are~'

'Grell,' Sebastian warned.

'Alright, alright,' the man said, raising his hands defensively, 'at least him being sick gives you a boost to getting him to like you.' Sebastian perked up a little at this, 'what do you mean?'

'You can look after him! You know, make him soup, cuddle him close to keep him warm… you honestly don't know much about affection, do you?' the bespectacled man laughed before taking a quick photo of Sebastian with a camera the black-haired man hadn't noticed. 'We're making a wall of all our best regulars and you're definitely going on it!' he laughed, getting out of the booth after Maylene yelled at him from the register. The café was certainly a lot busier than usual.

'Ciel!' Sebastian called when he got home, having picked out a slice of mud cake for the young man.

'After all, chocolate makes everything better!' Grell had said, and Sebastian valued the man's advice.

The man headed up to Ciel's room, checking in on him. Poor thing had a cold, but Sebastian figured it was all the younger's own fault anyway for falling asleep on the couch again. The man smiled softly at seeing the young man sleeping soundly, and he watched for a while before leaving the room to go down and put the cake in the fridge. He'd let Ciel eat it when he woke up. For now, there was work to do.

The blue-eyed man woke with a groan; he was hungrier than he could ever remember being, though that was probably due to having slept through most of the day. He padded down to the kitchen, glad to hear the sound of the television; at least Sebastian was home. He could order the man around a bit and use being sick as an excuse. But first… a quick check through the fridge. Ciel's eyes lit up when he saw a small plastic bag with the Grellybean logo on it and his name written on it. He took it out of the fridge and was delighted to see a slice of mud cake. He bit his lip, wanting to thank Sebastian for it but his pride stopped him from doing so. Quietly, he left the kitchen with the slice of cake and sat next to Sebastian on the couch who smiled at seeing him. Ciel had a small taste of the cake and he gasped a little; it was delicious! Maybe it seemed more wonderful than anything else because he was hungry, but whatever the cause was, the cake didn't last very long.

'Nice?' Sebastian asked with an amused smile on his face as he looked at the young man.

'Very,' Ciel replied, and he leaned over, giving the man a small kiss on the cheek, leaving the black-haired man stunned and his own face flushing a deep red. The pair sat in silence for a long while before Sebastian smiled again saying, 'I think I like you being sick.'

P.S.

D'awww, Ciel's finally started to stop be so uptight and Ciel-ish. OTL Sorry again for taking so long with this.
