Hello my poor, deprived readers.
I'm so sorry it took so long for me to update and pubish and whatnot.
Hope you can forgive me.
Your Dark little secret

It was almost midday when the two demons awoke still lying in one another's arms.
Neither of them wanted to move, they were perfectly content to lie there tangled together, forever. However, the need to bathe became stronger and stronger until Ciel could no longer bear it. He scrambled out of bed and made his way to the bathroom where he began to run a hot bath.
Suddenly arms were around the young one and Sebastian's naked body pressed against Ciel's back. "Could I bathe with you, young master?" the elder asked kissing the young one's shoulder. Ciel leaned into the embrace and nodded. They climbed into the bath tub and Ciel lay back into Sebastian's arms. It was obvious that Ciel was still drowsy and, to be honest, Sebastian found it adorable.
For the first time in what seemed like forever, Sebastian bathed his master.
"Sebastian?" Ciel said turning to look at his lover.
"Hmm?" Sebastian responded as he scrubbed the little one's shoulder.
"I love you." Ciel reminded him.
"And I love you." Sebastian assured the other with a warm smile. "now, lets get you dressed." Ciel pouted and Sebastian laughed. "Don't look at me like that, my Love. You know how cute you look."
Ciel grinned widely then his smile vanished by a look of pure horror. "Crap! I forgot. Grell. He'll be here soon." the young demon scrambled out of the bath and began drying himself.
Sebastian let out a sigh and got out too before drying off. "Ciel, my Love, do calm down." he said grapping the younger. Sebastian kissed his fiancé sweetly. "Love you."
Ciel smiled.
Grell was indeed there soon.
Moments after the couple had managed to dress, Grell was knocking impatiently on the door.
"Ok, so purple, right." the red head said when the twosome let said reaper inside. "I was thinking royal, you know, for short stuff here."
"Hey!" Ciel protested at the nick name.
Grell flashed him a cruel smile before continuing. "Silver and black would look good with it too. Ciel, I have a couple of ideas of what you could wear but I wasn't sure if you wanted to go gown or suit?"
"Suit, obviously." Ciel snapped.
"Ok, so I'll just cross off the dress choices. No biggie." Grell said as they sat down in the lounge which was exactly how Sebastian remembered it. "I've scribbled down a few ideas of who to invite. I thought you'd want to look and see if you'd want to make any modifications. Obviously I thought about family but I doubt you have any alive and I don't know if Sebastian. . .Sebastian?"
The phoenix and the reaper looked at the elder demon who looked pale. Paler than usual.
"What's wrong?" Ciel asked as he scooted closer to his lover.
"I had a family." Sebastian admitted.
"You. . .you did?" Ciel said with surprise. "Why didn't you tell me?"
"The subject was never brought up."
The young one suddenly felt guilty. "I. . .I . . ." he began but he couldn't find the words to say.
"Wait, what do you mean 'had'?" Grell asked.
"They're dead."
Ciel winced. He knew what it was like to loose family. It was a painful ordeal. One he would never wish even on his worse enemy. Not that Ciel actually had any enemies now he thought about it.
"What happened?" Ciel asked.
Sebastian shifted. "They were the ones that killed the Demon King in his second lifetime. When they were found out, they were killed. My brother and I were spared. We were only in our fifties, we were children."
"And what happened to your brother?" Grell asked.
"I. . .I killed him."
Ciel's eyes widened as he realized what Sebastian meant. "Claude was. . . ?"
"Yes."
"And you still killed him?"
"Yes."
"For me?"
"Yes."
"Oh, hell." Ciel said putting his face in his hands. "You lost everything. . .because of me?"
Sebastian shook his head and pulled the guilt riddled demon into his arms. "No, no." Sebastian assured the young one as he arranged the smaller so that he was straddling the elder. Sebastian cupped Ciel's face. "No, my love. I gained everything because of you. I love you. You complete me. I want for nothing but you."
Grell burst into tears and the two demons, who had temporarily forgotten the red head's presence, looked at him for an explanation for his sudden out burst. "You two are just so romantic." the reaper sobbed happily.
An hour later and Ciel found himself kidnapped by the red headed monstrosity that was called Grell. The reaper had shown the young demon about a thousand suits in the last half hour alone and none of the had been right. They were either the wrong colour or too plain or too modern. . .
That's it! That's the problem!
Ciel came to a halt as he realized what the problem was. Grell didn't notice until he had taken another five strides. He stopped when he finally took in the fact that Ciel wasn't following. "Ciel?"
"I've just had a brilliant beyond brilliant idea." The young phoenix said with a very un-Ciel-like excitement.
"Prey tell." Grell said folding his arms and frowning.
"We need something old, right?" Ciel said. "Who said it couldn't be old fashioned? Like the clothing I used to wear when Sebastian and I first became master and servant?"
Grell's eyes lit up as he realized what Ciel was getting at. "Ciel, you are an ingenious."
The young one grinned.
Everything was going to be perfect.
