Chapter 4
"And what might that be? Your 'secret' crush maybe?" Ciel smirked at the other darkly.
"Wasn't I obvious enough? Of course! You're not good enough for him~"
Ciel tried to push the man off him, but despite his oh-so-gay looks, the man was heavy and it was impossible to push him off. Damned shinigami..
"Not so fast, earl Phantomhive.. there is something we have to discuss."
He frowned.
"About what? Grell, if it is about Sebastian, I know that you want to have your way with him--"
Grell put his gloved hand over Ciel's mouth, making the boy shut up. The redhead smiled wickedly.
"Shush, it is about Sebastian as expected. Ah how I love him~ But I'm not here to discuss my love for Sebastian, there's something else I want to talk about." Grell waved his hands around and was praising 'how lovely and wonderful Sebastian was'. Ciel used that opportinity to talk.
"And what might that be?"
Grell sneered.
"I want you to give Sebastian to me~ He shall become my butler!"
Ciel slapped the shinigami on the cheek.
"You idiot. Of course I'm not giving him to you! Sebastian is MY butler, not yours. Sebastian has a contract with me, not you. Stupid faggot."
--
Sebastian was amused, it was so entertaining to watch thee young master argue about him with Grell. As a demon, it was natural for him to be selfish and egoistic. Ciel, he was so persistent about Sebastian being only his butler. Yet that boy persistently claimed he kept Sebastian in the house only because of the contract.
But according to the lovely blush on his master's face, that wasn't the truth. Sebastian smiled in delight and changed his position so he could see the catfight better. Neither of them seemed to notice the gleaming crimson eyes watching the situation from behind a tree nearby.
"You're still a kid, Ciel~chan. You can't possibly understand the feelings of my maiden heart" Grell took a strand of hair in his hand and swirled it theatrically around his fingers. He could be such a drama queen when he wanted, which meant all the time.
"Tsk. I'm not a kid, shinigami. I haven't 'offered my services' for every attractive person who walks by, but that doesn't make me unexperienced or a kid. It just doesn't make me a whore like you are."
Grell's eyes flashed dangerously and the shinigami's hands found their way to Ciel's shoulders, shaking the injured boy."
"I am not a whore, Ciel. You know nothing about me, kid~ And neither do you know anything about yourself. You're just a confused little boy, who's inexperienced and stupid when it comes to these things. So give Sebastian to me, I'll treat him better than you ever can."
"What makes you say that? I haven't treated my butler badly. Actually I've been very generous to him--" He was cut off by Grell's maniac laughing. The redhead seemed to have enjoyed Ciel's latest sentence, since he was making fun of it.
"Generous? Haha! Well I have to admit that you haven't treated him badly and since you're a kid, things like that aren't very appropriate. But you're sixteen now, so you should start to think about Sebastian's needs too."
"What needs?"
"Desire, lust, want.. maybe he's into bondage or plain torturous sex. I don't know since you haven't let me approach him. Sebastian is a demon after all, and that's what you've seemed to forget."
Ciel's cheeks flushed scarlet. Sebastian chuckled at the adorable sight, watching as the boy tried to defend himself from Grell. Poor kid, Grell would suck all the information out of him and Ciel couldn't do anything. It would ease the things pretty much, to hear a confession from his earl.
"I know he's a demon. And those things, they are disgusting and wrong, so please don't
mention them anymore. You still can't have Sebastian, he's my butler. How hard is that for you to understand? There is a bond between us that you can't break.."
Grell grinned wickedly.
"A bond? The contract yes, but there is no bond between you and Sebastian. A demon would never fall for a boring kid like you. They like more the hot and steamy ones like me~" Grell winked and send an imaginary kiss towards Sebastian's hiding.
"Isn't that true, Sebas~chan?"
A smiling Sebastian walked out from the shadows and bowed to his master. Ciel's eyes widened and his jaw dropped. The butler found it hard not to laugh at his master, so silly he looked.
"That won't do, Grell. Young master is injured and you are shamelessly straddling him and making his injuries bleed. Get off him at once." Sebastian's tone of voice turned icy cold as he talked to Grell. The shinigami pouted, but got off the injured boy.
"Sebas~chaaaaaaaan! Please forget that stupid kid and choose me. I can truly fulfill your desires~"
The shinigami winked at Sebastian and clung onto his arm. The said butler sighed.
"How many times do I have to tell you that I only serve one master and that is Ciel Phantomhive. Please remove yourself from my arm and leave."
There weren't words to tell how Sebastian enjoyed to look at Grell's hurt face when the poor shinigami was turned down by him once again.
"Sebas~chaaaaaaaan.." The redhead whined. Sebastian ignored him and went to pick Ciel up in his lap. The boy was shivering in his arms and was on the verge of losing his conscious. He winced slightly when Sebastian's hand was placed on his side. According to the boy's wounds, he needed treatment right away.
Feeling weird, humanlike worry inside him, Sebastian flew into the darkness with the young master safely in his lap. He could feel his own, usually so empty heart beating fast and he felt a strange feeling of care. It wasn't like the humans felt it, more like a hunter needs to bring his prey safely home to make sure it wouldn't be ruined. But still it was a feeling of care and worry.
Weird enough, Sebastian felt like Ciel was making him more and more humanlike every day. The young boy's possession on him was big, and it changed the demon's heart and mind wanted he it or not. Sebastian smiled at the boy, it was unknown to himself how a young, inexperienced teen like Ciel had captured his heart.
--
Grell watched as the earl and his butler vanished into the darkness. How unfortunate, Sebastian hadn't yet gotten rid of that annoying kid. Without Ciel, Sebastian would definitely be his. How he hated Ciel Phantomhive! Ciel hadn't done anything for Sebastian! That nosy kid didn't serve his superior with desire and lust, no, that kid made Sebastian serve himself. Grell could provide Sebastian his needs and he'd love the demon, that was something Ciel could never do.
The shinigami smiled to himself. Oh, he'd show Ciel his place. All he had to do was to visit his beloved and for Grell's luck, very stupid fiancé.
"Watch out, Ciel Phantomhive. Sebastian will be mine and you're out of the game before you realise it."
--
It was already past midnight when the two arrived at the mansion. Sebastian carried the boy to his bedroom, stripped the day clothes off him. The butler knew he should've put Ciel's nightgown on the boy, but couldn't help but stare at the feline young man in front of him. Blood rushed in Sebastian's veins as he watched the still so feminine chest rise and fall. Young master had a pale skin indeed, and it looked as smooth as porcelain.
One touch wouldn't hurt.. and even if Ciel would notice, he had all the rights to touch his young master.
His left hand reached for his master's delicate collarbone, stroking the area between the collarbone and Ciel's neck. The movement was very delicate and featherlike, making it seem that Sebastian's intentions were pure and good. Which they were not, far from that. The demon could sense Ciel's confusion and wouldn't let the boy live without an explanation. He chuckled in amusement, he'd squeeze the information of Ciel with any cost.
The demon leaned closer to the sleeping boy's ear and whispered;
"You are my prey, remember that. No one else can have you, especially not on a day that belongs to me. You'll get more than hurt if you agree to Elizabeth's order, more rippen apart than any human has ever gotten.."
Sebastian could see Ciel's eyelids fluttering and eyebrows building a frown, the boy was obviously awake. Had been all the time, actually. The butler smirked at the boy and leaned down once again, this time capturing Ciel's lips in a chaste kiss. Before the boy reacted to the contact, Sebastian had got of the boy and walked away.
"No matter how brilliant actor you are, you can't play your dirty little act in front of me. 'Cause I see through it. You should know better than to lie to a demon, young master.."
The small click on the door told the boy that Sebastian was gone. Ciel's heart was beating fast and his breathing rasped in his throat. How did Sebastian get to know about his and Elizabeth's wedding date? The bigger question was, what was Sebastian to do about the date and what was Ciel's part in Sebastian's play of horror. Even death seemed like a better option than facing Elizabeth and Sebastian, but escaping would be futile and his demon butler would surely chase him through Hell and back for his pitiful soul.
--
"Is it you, Ciel-honey?" Elizabeth's high-pitchy voice rang in the hallway as she rushed for the door. Someone was coming to visit her this late, after midnight. Her heart was beating fast since she imagined it could be no other but her lovely spouse, Ciel. But as she flung the door open, someone else stood in front of her.
"Umm.. who might you be? Is there something you want from me?" The confused girl stared at the oh-so-gay-looking redhead who was posing on her doorstep. The intruder chuckled.
"Why yes, young miss Elizabeth Middleford~ There's something important I have to discuss with you." He smiled at her mischievously, which caused the girl to blush.
"O-okay, I guess it's okay then. But before that, what is your name?"
"I apologize for not introducing myself sooner" he bowed, took Lizzie's hand and planted a small kiss on it, gaining the young girl's trust with that gentleman-like movement, "my name is Grell Sutcliff and I'm an unhired butler. But that is not important, the case of Ciel Phantomhive is."
Elizabeth's eyes were sparkling and cheeks burning when the shinigami mentioned her spouse. Grell noticed this immediately and grinned.
"Miss Elizabeth must be very in love with young count Phantomhive according to her expression, am I right? But about this boy, there are some things I have to warn about him. Do words 'demon', 'homosexuality' and 'contract' sound familiar to you?"
Tears prickled down on Elizabeth's face as she stared at Grell with a pained expression.
"N-no.. I've heard those words but they're wrong, evil, disgusting.. Ciel is a bad person if that is true.."
Grell patted the girl's head with a victorious look on his face.
"Now now, it doesn't make Ciel a bad person even if he has a contract with a demon and is in love with another man.." That statement made Elizabeth cry even more.
"Yes, it is true. Ciel is in love with his butler, Sebastian which makes things difficult for you. But you shouldn't give up on him~ Kufufu~ You've got the police, government and shinigami on your side."
"S-shinigami? What's that?"
"A death god. Believe it or not, I am a shinigami and am here to help you, a lovely maiden in love, to get her beloved man~ So yes, you do stand a chance against the demon if things get nasty. And believe it or not, things will."
Grell cupped Elizabeth's face and forced the girl to look at him. He looked her deeply in the eyes and smiled somewhat genuinely.
"So.. in order to get Ciel Phantomhive, who is your spouse and not Sebastian's, you need help and I'm here to give you help. You will suffer in pain the rest of your life if you don't get to marry Ciel so you shouldn't give up.. especially not to a demon. You ought to trust in me, lady Elizabeth, for I am the only one on your side~"
She looked at him mouth wide open and few single tears rolling down her cheeks.
"It's a bit.. weird.. but I guess I do trust you. I've always felt a bad and weird presence when Sebastian's around.. so yes, what you said, I think it may be the truth. So, yes.. I trust you."
"Good girl~ Now won't you let your new butler inside?"
--
"Young master, the phone is ringing. It's your fiancé, Elizabeth."
Ciel sighed deeply and frowned, Elizabeth was the last person he wanted to talk with in the middle of the night. Not even bothering to change his clothes, the young master went to answer the telephone.
"What is it now, Elizabeth? You should know that it's almost 2 a.m and I need my sleep--"
"I'm moving in to your mansion tomorrow, Ciel-honey~! I hired a new butler today, he's sort of weird and creepy but is very nice, gentleman-like and I'd say.. pretty! But yeah, we discussed my wedding with him and he said that I should move into your place since it's more comfy with the paperwork and I'll get used to living in your mansion! Isn't that great, Ciel?!"
Ciel stared at the telephone with a horror expression. No way.. Elizabeth was moving in tomorrow. Talk about a short notice!
"That's completely out of question, Elizabeth. It's not possible since I--"
"Yay! So it's okay! Nya~ I'll come around at noon with my packages, okay~ Bye bye dear!"
Tomorrow would be a nightmare. Ciel wouldn't get a minute for himself.. as if he didn't have enough problems without Elizabeth. And that butler.. why did that description sound so familiar?
"Weird, creepy, gentleman-like, nice, pretty.. and a butler.." That fitted only one butler he knew but that person, shinigami, wasn't gentleman-like or pretty at all. But yet it sounded just like..
"Grell. You better be prepared tomorrow, young master, since that lunatic shinigami might throw some knives, forks or actually anything at you when Elizabeth doesn't see. I'll block the fire for you, of course, but you should always be on guard. Tomorrow will truly be an interesting day, don't you think?"
Ciel stared at his butler, whom had appeared our of nowhere as usual, and glared coldly.
"Yes.. almost too exciting."
