I know, I know. I'm so cruel for making you wait so long.
But to make up for it: Chapter six
*:-ﾟஜ ~The~ ஜﾟ-:*

Sebastian was not a patient man, or a man at all really but that wasn't the point.
Grell practically kidnapped Ciel and conned the young demon into a shopping trip, hence the slightly peeved off elder demon sitting in the lounge. He'd been sitting there for well over four hours, waiting.
Perhaps he was patient.
Ciel had never been stabbed so many times with so many needles.
"I am never getting anything tailored ever again." Ciel hissed when the session of torture was over and done with for the day. "Do we really have to go back?"
"Relax, the worse part's over." Grell laughed.
"Yeah, sure." Ciel said sarcastically as he opened the door of his mansion. Ciel suddenly found himself pinned up against a wall and found his mouth being claimed by. . . "Sebastian!"
The demon chuckled and continued to kiss his lover.
"Uh-hem!" Grell said, interrupting them.
"Sorry," Sebastian said with an apologetic smile.
Grell rolled his eyes.

They had left all the planning up to the red reaper.
They hadn't actually given Grell permission to arrange everything but the two demons weren't overly bothered when the red head decided to take matters into his own hands. He arranged everything from the flowers to the invitations, the suits to the decorations and so on. He obviously had help from the young Phoenix, of course, but Ciel found Grell had more imagination and brains under that mass of red than anyone originally thought. That included William.
Finally the day arrived.
The day before the beginning of the next year.
The day of the Wedding.

The couple awoke alone having slept apart for the night.
Grell would be helping Ciel get ready where as William, to his lover's request, would be helping Sebastian.
Sebastian found himself wearing a suit similar in style to his butler's outfit. One or two things were different, thought. The buttons were slightly different, the tail on the tailcoat was slightly longer and there was no chain or watch attached.
The demon found himself smiling in memory of the old troubles that the servants brought up and how stubborn the young master could be when he wanted too.
He smiled at the memory of the boy he had come to serve and, in time, had come to love.
In the hall where the ceremony would take place, Sebastian found himself marvelling at Grell's outstanding ability. The hall had been restored to its original glory and had been decorated with deep purple and royal blue ribbons with flowers that matched the same description. A little red could be spotted in each bouquet, if inspected with more than just a glance. Chairs were lined up in perfectly straight rows, chairs that were gradually being filled by demons and reapers.
William spoke to every single one of the guests which seemed to ease Sebastian a little for he only knew half of them well enough to converse with.
The other half, however, seemed to know Ciel quite well. Well enough to be happy their young king had finally found his Love. Some of them approached Sebastian to congratulate him on stealing the young demon's heart and to ask: who was the bride and who was the groom?
After about half an hour, when everyone was present, William called for everyone to get to their seats.
"Grell, I feel weird." Ciel whispered to the red head as the reaper handed Ciel a bouquet of flowers that matched the ones decorating the main hall.
"You're not having second thoughts, are you?" Grell asked, worried.
"No." Ciel promised. "I've never been so sure of anything in my life."
"Then, what's wrong?"
Ciel looked away. "I guess I'm scared he's having second thoughts."
Grell chuckled softly and the young demon looked at the reaper. "Ciel, Sebastian has been in love with you for almost a century and a half. That's never going to change and certainly not right now."
"But what if he realizes his mistake?" Ciel said. "What if he realizes he's too good for me. What if. . ."
"Ciel." Grell interrupted. "You and Sebastian are perfect for each other. He loves you. Now stop fretting and get out there. Go marry your man."
Ciel laughed and was about to 'get out there', as Grell put it, but stopped. He turned back to the reaper. "Grell, I know it's short notice but, since I have no family, would you honour me by walking me down the isle?"
Grell stood there for a moment, dumbstruck.
He recovered after a full minute. "I would be the one who would be honoured, Lord Phantomhive." Grell said with a watery smile.
Ciel grinned and took the reaper's arm as they made their way down the corridor to the steps leading down to the hall.
Where Sebastian was waiting.
Sebastian was talking to William when the music started up.
The demon registered several people's gasps before turning to see the red headed Reaper walking down the steps with the demon's bride.
In that moment, the world faded away and all Sebastian could see was Ciel.
Ciel was wearing a suit very similar to one of the ones he used to wear back in the eighteen hundreds, but this one was a little more frilly and a darker shade of blue. Royal blue to match the decorations and the colour of his uncovered eye. Ciel wore a hat similar in style to the one Lady Elizabeth had made him wear all those years ago, except for the short black veil that came halfway down the demonling's face.
It seemed to take forever for the young demon to get down those steps and for Grell to place Ciel's hand in Sebastian's.
William didn't bother reciting any quotes from the bible. Instead, it was just a couple of poems Grell had written out. Will did, however, bother with making the couple swear themselves to each other. He watched as each met the other's eyes as they uttered the most binding words a person could ever say to another.
"I do."
