The camera turned on and focused on the Authoress.

Authoress cleared her throat, and she said, "Good morning, good afternoon, or even good night. Hello and welcome. Some of you have asked very, very, veeerrrrry interesting questions to both Sebastian and Matthew, lol some have even made me...well you'll see. Unfortunately, we weren't able to put all the questions we received, but will be in the next chapter, even with new ones from other fans. Anyways I would like to start this interview right away." She sat down on a chair and pointed to the side, "First off, let's welcome Sebastian and Matthew everyone!"

Sebastian and Matthew entered the room and they gave a small bow to the Authoress. They walked and sit down on the opposite side of the Authoress chair.

Authoress smiled at them and greeted them, "Welcome gentlemen, some of the fans want to ask you some questions, are you willing to answer?"

Sebastian smirked and looked to the camera, "Only if they are ready for my answer."

Matthew blushes and covered his face, "I'm in love with a pervert!"

Authoress laughs and takes out some letters, "Well let's not keep the audience waiting. Now then, this is from fedwvu. It says:

To Sebastian: Matthew is very reliable so what made you decide not to tell him about the plan? And have you re-established your link with him and if you have, why didn't you know that he was knocked out and in pain? And my final question for you is that you know your one hell of a butler so you know some of the orders that Ciel gave you is to make you squirm, so why don't you?

Sebastian blinked in surprised and smiled, "Well, I know Matthew is reliable, but seeing as he was getting weaker and weaker, to force him into another one of Young Master's childish games, would have killed him. Some of you might have noticed that Ciel deeply cares for Matthew, and he was the one that suggested we keep him out of it."

Matthew frowned and looked away, "I feel useless though. I'm only human, and am limited to what I can, and can't do."

Authoress cleared her throat, catching Matthew's attention, "That maybe so Matthew, but those two meant good. Even if it slightly back-fired on them."

Matthew huffed and crossed his arms, "You can say that again."

Sebastian rolled his eyes at the two, "Anyways to answer the second question, no I literally severed our connection, though a sword through my heart may not kill me, it could seriously damage Matthew. So am I going to re-establish a link?" Sebastian looked to Authoress for approval.

Authoress cleared her throat once again, this time reaching for tea, "Well, of course he will, whether he'll do it soon or not depends entirely up to 'certain' circumstances. For now, you'll have to read the chapter at the end of this interview to see."

Sebastian sighed in frustration: "Anyways the final question...what was it again?"

Authoress looks at letter, "Fedwvu is pretty much asking why Ciel is being such an ass and making you get hurt, stabbed, killed, and all that other fun stuff."

Sebastian's eyebrow ticked at that, "Well...It all started with when we first met...Let's just say we started off on a bad foot."

Authoress snorted at that, "More like stepped into a bear trap. Look, Ciel is technically an ass to Sebastian, but remember Sebastian is an ass to Ciel, and it's all just one big cycle of assery that will never end."

Matthew sweat dropped and stared at Authoress, "I hate to say it, but she's right."

Sebastian hmped in annoyance and Authoress laughed and looked at the letter, "Oh wait there's more questions, this time for Matthew."

Matthew, "Me?"

Authoress nodded and flipped the letter: "Fedwvu says:

I want you to know I love you (Not in a fan girl kind of way SebxMatth 4eva!) Any who I have 2 questions for you. 1st why you never on top! I love when the uke gets to be top! And two what are you going to do to Sebastian when he comes back to 'life'?

Matthew covered his face, a large scarlet blush spread down to his neck, "What kind of question! I don't- Oh god this is so embarrassing!"

Authoress snickers evil, "Answer the question!"

Sebastian smirked and placed a hand on Matthew's shoulder, "I can answer the first one. Like hell is Matthew going to top me, I'm a very~ dominate male."

Matthew blushed deeper and he smacked Sebastian with a throw pillow, "You-you PERV! I'm sitting over here!" Sits next to Authoress.

Authoress tries to control laughter, "You still haven't answered Matthew."

Matthew's eyes widen and he looked away, "I've...thought about it before."

Sebastian's mouth fell open in shock, "What! You think you can top me!"

Matthew glared at him, "If I chained you up with the restriction spell, then there'd be nothing to stop me now, wouldn't there!"

Sebastian stood up and stalked over to Matthew, "Is that a challenge." He stared down at the blonde and Matthew gulped in nervousness.

Authoress giggles madly at the two, "Sebastian, are you afraid of getting screwed. You know this actually gives me an ide-"

Sebastian slapped her mouth shut, "Don't you dare!"

Authoress took out a pen and paper and started writing. Sebastian grabbed her by the throat and Matthew tried to pull him away.

Sorry, technical difficulties.

.

.

.

All three fixed their clothing and sat down on their chairs, far away from each other. Authoress rubbed her throat and glared at Sebastian, "Just for that I'm going to seriously consider the thought."

Matthew blushed and was lost in a far off thought, "I wonder what noises Sebastian would make?"

Sebastian's eyebrow twitched and he bared his fangs, "I'll take you in front of everyone right here right now if you keep this up!"

Matthew bit his bottom lip and couldn't look at Sebastian in the eye, his thoughts still on the idea.

Authoress falls to the ground laughing and tries to speak, "Buaahahaha ah-answer the next question hahaha!"

Matthew scratched his chin and said, "Wouldn't it be a spoiler though?"

Authoress sat up and sighed, "Right, well it's in the new chapter anyways, just giving a small hint."

Matthew hm'ed at that, "Well I can definitely say that my behavior lately is starting to get erratic, so it's hard to predict what I'll do."

Authoress picks up some tea and sips it, "Lack of sleep cause irrational behavior, and excess blood loss can also cause strange behavior as well. What Matthew does, or doesn't do is all affected by such miniscule and yet massive life changing details. Like the scars on his body, none of them matter that much, and yet it is always the one below his stomach, his first scar, that he seems to unconsciously touch."

Matthew and Sebastian stare at Authoress, "Do you always put so many thoughts on small details? We know you don't always describe many things in the story."

Authoress sets her tea on the table and leans into her chair, "Some things are only just small details, and others are hints to future events, but I can't say any more than that. So anyways, next question!" Grabs the next letter, "Oh! It's Marabella15, our very loyal fan. She asked several questions as well...well like two are technically a statement. She says:

I must say you are absolutely gorgeous Sebastian, and you are indeed one Hell of a Butler! 1st question: What are the 5 main things that attract you to Matthew? Aspects of a cat make you admire him so much? (I actually adore kitties, I, myself, own 12 literally they are such splendid creatures I truly adore felines)

Authoress laughed at this, "Rather blunt, and to the point, isn't she?"

Sebastian smirked, "You can say that again."

Matthew giggled softly and said, "Well, she is very kind to always review, and give us her opinion.

Authoress taps letter and looks to Sebastian, "So, What do you think?"

Sebastian crossed his legs and smirked again, "Well, first off. Thank you for the compliment Mara," Winks at the camera, "Also if you have 12 kittens, would you mind giving-"

Matthew covered Sebastian's mouth, "One is enough! Just answer her question!"

Sebastian chuckled and kissed Matthew's hand, "You just want to know what I think of you." Matthew blushed and sat back down, "Anyways to answer your question...well it's something I learned from Matthew actually, you never truly know why you love someone, every little thing they do, or have, attracts you to them. I can't say that it's because we are destined either, there was something there that grew as I got to know him."

Sebastian smiled and stared at the camera, "Though that wasn't the question you asked. If I had to say, it's his true smile. When he first started out, he would smile, but it never felt real, but after a while he started blessing us all with it. And it makes me happy when something brings that simple sweet smile to his lips, even more so, when I cause it to appear. The second is his very being. There something strange about him when you first meet him, so normal, and yet you can't help but take a second look at him. I will admit all I wanted was The Book of the Dead, but... I suppose you can say it was like a whisper his entire being gave out a whisper, saying, 'I want to find something to keep going.' I'm just glad that he wants me." Matthew blushed and Sebastian sent a small kiss to him.

Authoress nodded and picked up a scone, "And the other 3?"

Sebastian smirked, "His eyes are actually a 3rd. Yes they have a sort of feline touch to them, I do love that. But what I really like is that if you ever want to know how he is feeling, all you have to do is look at his eyes. When he's angry, they seem to reflect the person his hatred is turn to. When he's sadden by something, his eyes seem to dim, and sometimes he can't even look at you. When he's happy, they soften, and give you a feeling of warmth. So many emotions he has, and his eyes seem to just show them to you like a looking glass."

Sebastian gave a small sigh and said, "There are also his hands."

Authoress raised her eyebrow at this, "His hands?"

Sebastian nodded, "They are slightly calloused, such long pianist fingers, and they fit perfectly into my own hands. His touch is very gentle as well, hesitant, yet swift. I like them a lot."

Authoresses looked to Matthew and smirked, "And the last?"

Sebastian smirked as well, "Well, this might be even more surprising besides his hands. It's his voice."

"My voice?"

"Yes," Sebastian said, "It's so very soothing. If demons could dream, I would be laying my head on your lap, and have you sing to me, just so your sweet voice lulls me to sleep, only to dream of you."

Matthew covered his face, his blush permanently stuck, "You're so embarrassing!"

Sebastian chuckled at this, "Only because I love you. Also Mara, if Matthew had any more cat attributes, I would die and somehow gone to heaven. But even without them, he's still amazing."

Authoress laughed and slapped Matthew's back, "Come on big shot, it's your turn. Mara asks:

Okay now questions to Matthew. 1st: (Another statement) You are simply amazing and I love your fighting skills and I believe you and Sebastian being a couple takes my breath away! 2. (Real question) What 5 traits and physical appearances attract you to Sebastian the most? You really believe you cannot live without Sebastian if I may be so blunt in asking? Ciel ordered Sebastian and you to watch the manor alone for 2 weeks, what would you two do? *Cough* Besides the obvious. 5. I dare you to put on kitty ears and a tail in the next chapter :) *Smirks* Sorry I am a bit evil but hey, I'm a major fan of this story, I can't help it lol! That's all for now, Love you two! *Waves to them both* And of course goodbye amazing author.
-Your loyal fan Mara

Matthew removed his hands and stared at the camera, "Uhm well I just want to say, thank you Mara for the compliment, and for us being a couple and all that...th-thanks." Authoress and Sebastian snickered at his expression and Matthew glared at them, "Anyways, the first thing would definitely have to be his bipolar tendencies."

"Excuse me? My bipolar tendency; that is the pot calling the kettle black." Sebastian turned his nose upwards and crossed his arms, Matthew just raised an eyebrow at him, "Yeah...like I said his bipolar tendencies. You know, when he's serious one second, giddy the next, then angry. It sometimes causes me some suffering, but honestly what relationship is perfect?"

Authoress cleared her throat, catching Matthew's attention, "Explain?"

"Oh well, a perfect example was the workhouse chapter. He was excited, and yet distraught, and because of his contract with Ciel, he couldn't do anything, except watch." Sebastian continued to look away, the smile wiped off of his face. Matthew stood up and wrapped his arms around Sebastian's neck, "His emotions remind me that he isn't a god, that he can't control everything that happens... And yet, he tries his best, he tries to be there for me. And, I'm glad for that." Matthew placed a small kiss on Sebastian's cheek and he laid his chin on Sebastian's shoulder.

"Aw, sweet. But next!" Authoress shouted.

The two looked at her and Matthew whispered, "How did she create me again?"

"I have no clue."

Matthew sighed and said, "The 2nd one I have to say, is in his true form, I really love that small scar under his eye. It's a small imperfection that seems to enhance his beauty even more."

Sebastian smirked at that, "Yes, that scar, it was a long time ago that I-"

"No life story! Matthew, what's the next one?" Authoress asked.

Matthew chuckled and stared down at Sebastian, "Mmm, the third would have to be his cooking. Nothing in my life, not even my mother's cooking, could ever compete with Sebastian's."

Authoress nodded at that, "Yes, his cooking is quite amazing."

"The fourth one is his strange love for cats. I sometimes feel jealous on how he praises them, and adores them." Matthew smiled at that and looked at the camera a blush appearing on his face, "And the fifth one...well it's kind of embarrassing to say." Authoress grinned at that, "Oh really? What is it?"

"Uh...uhm." Matthew blushed and mumbled. Sebastian's eyes widen slightly and he threw his head back and laughed, "He loves it when I hold his body against my own!" Matthew smacked him and buried his face into Sebastian's shoulder, "You're so mean!"

Authoress tries to breath from laughter and she says, "Answer the other one!"

Matthew bit his bottom lip and looked away from Sebastian, "Ciel gave me a reason to go on, but Sebastian gave me a reason to live. To say I can't live without him? Well...I really can't, I care for Ciel and the others very much, but without Sebastian, it's meaningless."

"How would you compare Sebastian? Is he your sun?"

Matthew chuckled at that, "No, he's the moon. A cold beautiful thing that is far away, and untouchable, except a lucky few have been able to get close to it."

Sebastian raised any eyebrow, "Wait...humans get close to the moon?"

Authoress cleared her throat, "Matthew, I'm not sure if it's smart to reveal so much in this world."

"We have a video crew. I think its ok."

Authoress shrugged at this and grinned madly, "What about the other question?"

Matthew's eyes widen and he cleared his throat, "I think that's enough questions to-DAY!" Sebastian pulled Matthew to his lap and grinned as well, "Well besides the obvious, I'd teach Matthew some new tricks, and I would hardly give him a break at all. In fact, I think Matthew's voice would be lost." Matthew covered his face again and with his free hand he smacked Sebastian, "Idiot!"

Authoress laughed at that, "And what about the dare Matthew? Though I already written the chapter, I could force you to wear them."

Matthew shook his head, "Don't you dare!"

"Do it!" Sebastian ordered!

Authoress gave an evil smile to Matthew and took out a notepad and pencil, "I love my loyal fan Mara for giving me such an awesome idea."

"No!" Matthew jumped off of Sebastian's lap and tried to grab the pencil, but Sebastian grabbed him by the waist and pulled him back. "I think those questions were enough for right now. But please continue to send in more questions, I'm going to extend this interview for a couple more chapters. Enjoy this chapter." Authoress gave a wink and scribbled on the paper.

Chapter 21

~ASC~

The church bell rang in the mid-afternoon. They were all there, except for one, at Sebastian's funeral. Finny, Tanaka, Agni, and Bard lifted the casket and followed Undertaker to the burial plot.

Matthew had refused to go, saying he was tired of burying the dead, and wished to be alone in the mansion. They understood and left without him. Now they were all gathered around a fresh graveyard, a tombstone read, Butler Sebastian Michaelis rests here. They stared at it, a bell attached to the tombstone, a tradition of sorts, and Lizzie cried as she grabbed the young lord. "Ciel!" She cried as tears fell from her face, and landed on Ciel's cheek. "Sebastian is a liar! He's so cruel, promising he would never leave Ciel by himself." She clung to him as she cried harder. Soma attached himself to Ciel as well, tears falling freely from him as well. "Don't cry Ciel! We'll be with you forever!"

"For ever and ever!" Lizzie said.

The others cried, trying to stop, but unable to, and Bard and Tanaka stood silently at the side, while Undertaker just grinned madly. Ciel smiled as his fiancé and his friend clung to him, "For you to care so deeply makes both him and me happy. Well, let's go back to the mansion." They turned around and started walking away, a soft tingling called for them to stop, and only Finny turned to look back. The bell started to ring faster, and Finny stared at it in question, "The bell on the grave is ringing..? Even though there's no wind..."

Undertaker started to giggle, "Oh my...should you really be standing around like that? If that bell rings. It means he's still alive."

They gasped and both Finny and Bard, and Undertaker rushed over to dig Sebastian free of his grave. "Dig him up!" Agni shouted as he brought a shovel to help.

They opened the casket and Sebastian stood up, looking as if he just woken from a bad nap, "Phew. I finally got out of there. Everyone...eh!" His mouth fell open when everyone suddenly jumped at him and tackled him into a hug.

"Uwaah!" Lizzie screamed.

"You bastard! I thought I'd lost another comrade..." Bard finally cried.

"I...I..." Finny couldn't finish his sentence.

"Misder Sebwasdian, I'm zooo gladddd!" Maylene cried.

Agni and Tanaka just looked happily at Sebastian, glad to know that he was still alive, "Everyone... please calm down..." Sebastian tried to calm them down, but they only cried harder.

"I'm glad we put him in a safety coffin." Undertaker said.

"I'll say." Ciel smirked as he watched in amusement.

"It's a miracle!" Agni cried as he prayed, "Oh god! I am so grateful!"

After all the uncontrollable sobbing and crying, they finally released Sebastian. "Phew..." Sebastian tried to rub off the tears and snot from his face, "I'm glad they were fooled due to shock." Ciel shook his head and held out a handkerchief, "Hurry up and wipe that off. Though I'd rather they not be so carefree."

Sebastian took it, grateful for it, and he wiped his face, "Sebastian." Sebastian turned around and Tanaka came to him. "I'll return this to you." He pinned the small pendant onto Sebastian's lapel, "This is proof of being the Earl Phantomhive's butler. Your chest is the only place it should be now." Tanaka smiled and walked away, saying one last thing to Sebastian as a reminder, "The Phantomhive family butler is not allowed to breathe his last before his master."

Ciel smirked as he placed his top hat on, "Which means, Sebastian...that from today on, you're my butler again." Sebastian smirked back and went down on one knee, bowing to Ciel, "Yes, my lord. I am devotedly in your service. Until the day that lies become truth." They stared at each other, master and servants, all knowing in what they have done.

Sebastian stood up and called out to Lizzie, "Furthermore, Lady Elizabeth. I'd like to rectify one thing you said." She turned around and tilted her head in a cutely way, finger on her chin, and eyes brimming with curiosity, "What did I say?"

He smiled to her and winked as he brought his finger to his lip, "I don't tell lies..."

~ASC~

The horses ran through the dark forest, Grey sitting on the back, pissed beyond belief. Inside the carriage sat the lone Woodley, panicking in fear, "I've been taken in by him...there's...there's no way that...th-" A sword went through the ceiling of the carriage and stabbed right into Woodley's head.

"Shut up already." Grey said as he pulled out the sword and slashed the blood off, "Ahh how annoying. I really wanted to knock that brat off of his perch." He grumbled and walked over to the coachmen. One of them looked at him, revealing that it was Phipps, slightly annoyed at him, "It's because you act without thinking about the consequences."

Grey huffed and sheathed his sword, "I'll pass on your preaching Phipps. I wonder what the Queen is thinking."

"Who knows?" Phipps said, "Mere butlers like us do not need to know. Everything is according to her Majesty's wishes..."

~ASC~

The blood was flowing free into the water as I dragged my knife into my arm; I had to open the skin in order for Lily to heal the bone. I know I lost too much blood, but a broken arm is worse than blood that can be replaced. She started to heal the bone; I watched as the ends sealed together and the muscle, fat, and skin sewed itself together, another scar on my body had formed. She went behind my head and started to heal that one as well, it hurt a lot cutting into the back of my skull, not to mention so much blood came out, I thought I was going to die. She finished up healing the last of the major wounds and gave me thumbs up. I smiled to her and she gave me a hug, her way of saying she was sorry for my lost. I sent her away and stepped out of the bathtub, there was already some towels there, left by Snake, and I dried myself off.

My body felt heavy from losing blood again, and my head ached since a blow to the head was a...well a blow to the head. I dressed up and Snake was waiting outside for me, "You hungry?" I asked him. The snakes around his body nodded for him, I just realized today how shy he actually is, he won't speak for himself, but for the snakes that cling to him. I led them to the kitchen, and the snakes set off to find some rats in the vents, Sebastian was good, but he could never stop the vermin from coming into the house all the time.

I fixed Snake something to eat and he stayed silent during the whole time. "Here" I said as I handed him a plate of food, he played with the food, unsure of what to do with it and I just patted his head, "It's alright, go ahead and eat." I sat down on the opposite side and laid my head on the table, my eyes hurt from being up for too long, and my brain was complaining how I needed to sleep or else I'm useless to everyone.

Something crawled up my leg and I saw, I think it was Woodsworth, crawling up my leg, a lump protruded from his belly as his head nudged my hand. I picked him up and he wrapped around my neck, his body cold from hunting in the vents. He hissed at me and Snake stopped eating and translated, "Is Black going to tie us up again? Says Woodsworth."

"..." I stroked Woodsworth head and its tongue flicked at my fingers, "Black is...dead... he won't do that again."

"He is not dead. He locked us up yesterday in a crate. Says Woodsworth." My hand froze and I stared at the two of them, "W-what did you say?" I stammered, my body shaking and tears prickled my eyes.

"He's still alive, in fact..." They told me everything, all they had heard when they were locked up in the crate yesterday. At first, I didn't want to believe him, but then everything started to make sense, the fact that even if weak Sebastian shouldn't have been killed so easily, the random spikes of supernatural aura that I had assumed was Snake, could have also been Sebastian. And how did Jeremy know the back entrance of the mansion? How could he smell poison from a dead corpse? Why didn't he react to Basilisk, and why was he so worried when I was hurt? All of it pointed to Sebastian, who never really died...never died...and yet our bond was...

Snake stood erect as he looked to the side, "They're back. Says Woodsworth." He stood up and ran out the room, heading to mine and I numbly stood up and walked unsteadily to the ballroom. The door opened and Maylene and Finny rushed in excitedly, "Matthew! You won't believe what just happened!"

Bard walked in, a smile on his face, but he stopped when he saw mine, "Matthew?" Tanaka, and Ciel stepped into the mansion and they looked outside, "Hurry up. You were the one getting so excited about seeing him." Ciel said, obviously annoyed.

He stepped inside, decked in his usual black suit, and a smile on his face. He was alive, and smiling at me. You would think I would be crying in happiness and glad, and don't get me wrong, I was happy, and yet my heart was breaking as I stared at him. My body felt heavy, and for a short second I lost balance.

"Matthew!" The trio shouted.

I grabbed the stair railing before I could hit the ground. Sebastian ran to me and placed a hand on my shoulder, "Matthew, are you ok? Does it hurt?" My body shook, and tears slid down my face. He picked me up, gently, my arms were around his neck and I whispered into his ear, "You lied to me."

His body went rigid, as I continued to cry, the others unaware of what was going on. Nor will they ever truly know.

Sebastian laid me down on the bed; he glared at Snake for being in the room with me. "Get out." He ordered. Snake gulped and stood up, but my hand grabbed his, "Stay." He looked between us two, Sebastian's eyes glaring holes into him, and my own eyes staring at the wall near my bed. One of his snakes hissed and I was sure that it had told him to stay next to me.

"Matthew, if you let me expl-"

"You were doing what was right for Ciel." I interrupted him and he stared at me, surprised for what I said. "I've always known that I can't interfere when it comes to you and Ciel, you are bound by contract...and yet, you're such a liar Sebastian."

"I do not lie." He said, his voice raising a bit, obviously getting angry that he has to speak in front of Snake.

"Maybe we should leave. Says Wordsworth." Snake stood up and slipped out of the windows. Once he was gone, Sebastian sat down on the bed and his hand reached for mine. I brought my hand close to my chest; I didn't want him near me right now. "You can say that all you want Sebastian, but you and I know that the truth can be distorted, or even kept secret."

"I don't understand what you-"

"You never told me how easily our bond can be severed, just like when you never told me that I can block you from my mind." I felt his body stiffen, I was right it seems, "How did it break? When Grey stabbed you? Or were you able to do it yourself?" He stayed silent and I got my answer.

"Ma-" I covered my ears and curled into a ball as my body continued to tremble, and the tears rushed out freely. He touched my shoulder and I told him to leave, my voice choking as sobs tore through. He left my room and I buried my face into the pillow. He had promised me, and yet it was so easily broken. He never told me that our souls that were intertwined with each other can be ripped apart by his will, and it made me wonder if he really did meant it when he said that we were soul mates, was it true, or did he say it because he didn't want me to leave him, that he wanted me to himself. I didn't care for those other reasons though; he could do all of that to me, but... He had lied and left me, left me alone to think that he was dead, and even thinking that I was once again abandon.

Alone...alone...always alone...

~ASC~

Sebastian sighed, it was getting dark and he hasn't even been able to introduce the new servant to the others, he had no choice but to do it tomorrow.

"You lied to me..."

Sebastian clutched his head, wishing the voice to be gone from there, but he knew what he had done was wrong, he knew he could have asked Ciel to allow Matthew in on their plan. And yet he didn't, because he wanted Matthew to be very little involved with what they were doing, he didn't want his mate to die.

How stupid of me to think that he would be fine! I never bothered thinking about how he would feel. He sat on his bed and gripped his heart, it was aching him, and he could feel that it was slowly dying, and if he didn't do something soon, he truly will die in 6 days, and Matthew will be missing half a soul, his death would be slow and wretched. He buried his face into his hands; I just wanted to protect him... A tear slipped out and Sebastian immediately swiped it away.

There was a rapid knock on his door and he stood up, "What is it?" He growled.

"You need to come immediately! Says Emily!" Snake called from the otherside, his voice sounding urgent. Sebastian hesitated for a bit, and then went out the door, as he followed Snake.

~ASC~

Wake up~

So much pain, it hurt so much!

It was cold, and for some reason I could smell blood mixed with the scent of autumn, which isn't right since it was March. My eyes open and dark clouds with the moon trying to break through shined down at me.

Why was I outside?

I tried to pick myself up, and winced, the pain was coming from my stomach. I looked down and saw I was wearing jeans, a t-shirt that was familiar, but bloody, and an old jacket I once owned.

It hit me like a ton of bricks. I was back home, I don't know how, but I was back...that's right, it was all a dream. Everything seemed to disappear, and I could hear the whispering back in my head, the words were still unknown to me. There was a coughing sound and I turned my head, the three boys that circled me, were on the ground. Two of them laid unmoving, with their necked slashed open, and Jerry, was crawling away from them, a knife sticking out from his back, and I knew it was my knife.

I moved over to him, wincing from the pain in my abdomen, and he whimpered and cried as I came closer.

"Please don't kill me!" He sobbed; blood and saliva came from his mouth as he tried to move away from me. "What happened?" I asked, my hand went to the knife and he flinched and started to scream, "Someone help!" He started to cough on his own blood and I panicked. What was going on? Why was I brought back here!

"Who's there?" I turned my head and saw an officer coming over, "Help!" Jerry shouted. The man ran over when he heard the shouting and I started to panic. I scrambled to my feet and looked around, all I saw was my backpack and I grabbed it and ran away, the wound in my stomach bleeding freely as I ran.

I didn't know how long I ran, or how far, but all I can wonder was why I was back here. Why I wasn't back with...with whom?

My back hit the wall and I gripped my head, trying to remember the dream. "There was something, but I can't remember! What is it?" I shook my head and something popped into my head. I grabbed my backpack and ripped it open; I rifled through the contents and took out a leather book with a lock on the front. "This book, I remember, I bought it from Sandra." I tried to open it, but it wouldn't budge.

"Ngh!" I dropped the book and clutched my stomach, it was hurting a lot.

Sirens blared down the road and I picked up the book and dragged myself along the wall, trying to get away.

I found myself outside of the antique shop and I entered it, the bell ringing to announce my presence.

"Shop is closed!" Sandra called out from the back.

"S-Sandra!" I groaned.

"Matthew?" Sandra poked her head out and she gasped as she saw the blood on my hand. "Oh dear god!" She rushed over to me and lowered me to the ground, "What happened!" She asked as she pressed on the wound.

"I...was attacked."

"I'll go call the ambulance." She stood up and I grabbed her arm, "No! I- I think, I killed them." I said, tears falling down from my face. She stared at me with wide eyes, "What?" She asked.

"I killed them." I covered my eyes with my hands as my body shook, "I killed them! And now they are after me!" Sandra stepped back from me, unsure whether to help me or turn me in. She opted for the first one and started helping me by wrapping bandages around my waist. I stared at my chest, the dream or nightmare was already gone, and my hand gripped my head as the voice whispered again. The bandages were a light tan color, compared to my white flawless skin, they stood out, even more so as the blood seeped through.

She brought me some tea and started pacing around the room, "It was self-defense, right?" I shrugged, I had told her that I must have blacked out when I was stabbed, but it didn't make her feel any better. "Maybe if we explain that you were just a victim, then...no! That won't work at all!" She gripped her hair and stomped her foot on the floor, "Damnit Matthew why did you have to come here! Now I'll be an accessory to murder!" She shouted.

I froze at her words and stared at her, "Please let me stay!" I begged.

She shook her head, arms wrapped around her body, "No, I need you to leave. I'm sorry but, I can't have you here, please...leave." I blinked away the tears and struggled to my feet. "I'm sorry." I whispered as I left her shop.

My body felt heavy, my head was swimming, and my vision kept blurring. I stopped walking and leaned against a wall to catch my breath.

"There he is!" Someone shouted.

I turned my head and I saw a group of uniformed men coming at me. I then started to run. Ducking into alleyways, dashing through streets, and finally when I was almost caught in a dead end, I climbed a fire escape, went into an open window, out of the room, and ran through the building till I was out again, the cops unable to keep up with me.

Soon I started to slow down and I spotted a hotel.

I ran into the building and entered an elevator, ignoring the calls of the workers and I jammed the top floor button till the doors closed.

I breathed heavily, my hands touching my wound, already soaked in my blood. A sob broke through me as I started to slide down to the floor, "Shit! What...what am I going to do...?" I gripped my head, the whisperings becoming a loud scream in my head. The door opened and I stumbled into the hallway and headed to the fire escape stairs.

My body grew heavier and heavier as I took each step slowly till I finally reached the roof. I looked around; there was no way I could hide here, so why did I come here?

The moon broke through the clouds and I looked up, "I wish..." I shook my head and walked over to the ledge, they had the place surrounded, it will be a matter of seconds now. "Whatever that was, a dream, a nightmare, I wish I was back in it. Not here, not this place." The cold wind tossed my hair around and I stepped up on to the ledge.

"I...I wonder if this is all a nightmare, maybe this isn't my life." My foot went forward, the doors busted open, "Stop!" One of them screamed. It was too late, I felt gravity pulled me down, and my foot slid off the ledge.

As I fell for my impending death, I watched as my image followed me from the windows of the hotel, it was nothing more than a black shadow with red eyes, staring right at me. Memories flashed into my mind, a small boy, an elderly man, three happy people smiling at me, a man with dark hair, who was too perfect to be human, and for some strange reason, I saw Edward, tall and proud as he smiled at me, a smile came to my own lips, Right...my mother father, and my friends are all waiting for me...waiting. My eyes shut as I felt the ground come closer and closer.

"Sebastian..."

~ASC~

"Wake up!" Sebastian shouted at Matthew, when the blonde stopped breathing he panicked and slapped the boy awake. Matthew's eyes snapped open and he reeled up as he gasped, trying to bring back air into his lungs. Sebastian released him and watched as the blonde stared at his hands that lay in on his lap, slowly starting to shake, and he started mumbling incoherent words.

"Matthew." Sebastian called out to him.

Matthew flinched at his name and he stared at Sebastian, his jewel eyes stared at him, and he saw the fear in them, but it was soon replaced by another emotion, anger. Matthew tackled Sebastian on to his bed and started to hit Sebastian. The demon butler lay there, not bothering to stop him as he watched Matthew beat him. "I hate..." Matthew mumbled as he stopped beating Sebastian, and instead wrapped his arms around his own shoulders. Sebastian looked away from Matthew; he didn't want to hear those words. "I hate...alone." Matthew said, Sebastian turned his eyes to stare at Matthew, "What?"

"I said I hate being alone!" Matthew shouted as he gripped his head, "I don't want to go back to that again, not that room, not that house, not those people. But I don't want to be alone." Sebastian touched Matthew's cheek; the summoner leaned into his touch. "When I thought you died, I felt as if you betrayed me, you, who can never die even if I did, have left me...alone." Matthew's fingers skimmed the broken bond on his skin, and he stared at Sebastian, "You lied, betrayed, and left me Sebastian." He buried his head into Sebastian's chest, his body shaking as he cried, "Never leave me again, never please! Hate me, love me, just-just don't ever leave me again."

Sebastian stared down at Matthew; he had hurt Matthew, more than anyone else has. He placed his hand gently on Matthew's head and said, "I'm sor-" Sebastian's words were cut by Matthew's lips crashing against his own, the blonde gripped his shoulders, and tears fell on Sebastian's cheeks. Sebastian wiped them away from Matthew, and his arms wrapped around Matthew's neck as they deepened their kiss, their tongues fought with each other, their teeth clashing and lips being bit by one another, and Sebastian flipped Matthew under him.

"Matthew." Sebastian breathed out as he attacked Matthew's neck and chest. He nipped and sucked the tender flesh till small red hickeys bloomed across the white skin and he hovered over the thin white scar below his belly button. "Sebastian." Matthew panted, the demon looked at him and he smirked. "Do you wish to see what a night with a demon can do?"

Matthew blushed and looked away, "Perhaps...more than just one night, i-if it feels good again, if it's properly done this time." Matthew's face was bright red and Sebastian chuckled, "Whatever you wish, my love." His form shifted and he laid gentle kisses on Matthew's stomach, his hands tracing each scar that marred his body. He lightly nipped one of Matthew's nipples and his other hand rubbed the other one, tweaking it and twisting it as he sucked on the erected nub. Matthew groaned and Sebastian trailed his tongue down his chest to his stomach, stopping at his bellybutton. His teeth scraped the soft flesh and his tongue swiveled Matthew's bellybutton. "Sebastian~" Matthew groaned as he squirmed underneath him.

Sebastian smirked, enjoying his name being called by Matthew, and he couldn't wait for when the time would come for him to tell Matthew his real name. "Every second away from you felt like an eternity of damnation. Never again will I subject you to such a torture Matthew. Never again." Sebastian placed a kiss over Matthew's heart, and he gingerly sucked on the faint seal. He tugged the pants on Matthew's waist and his hands went in, groping Matthew's behind, "Sebastian!" Matthew shouted in shock, his face more sunburned red now.

"Oh my, when do you find the time to even work out, Matthew~" He said his name long and slow as he pulled the pants completely off and he playfully rubbed Matthew's erection. Matthew moaned softly as he bucked in Sebastian's hand. His head was swimming and his skin felt on fire as Sebastian's laid more butterfly kisses on his body.

"Sebastian?" Matthew moaned, "Yes?" Sebastian said as his thumb rubbed the tip of Matthew's penis, "Are you going to...ah...join us...to-gether." He breathed out as Sebastian licked some of the pre-cum off his tip. "I can't right now. Your soul has been damaged, and though I grow weaker as well, if I were to try to bond with you, it may very well kill you. So you and I have to wait." Matthew nodded as he bit his bottom lip, "I feel light-head Sebastian." Sebastian chuckled softly as he turned Matthew over, "You'll be feeling a lot more than just that in a moment. I'm going to make this up to you Matthew, no matter how long it takes." Matthew hissed as Sebastian slipped two fingers in him. "My, you're really tight around my fingers, I forget how long it has been, but...you need to relax." Matthew nodded and Sebastian's other hand continued to pump the boy slowly as he stroked and stretched the small hole.

"Ngh...Sebastian." Matthew bit back a moan as Sebastian slipped a third finger and he moved in deeper. "Ah!" Matthew moaned out loud as Sebastian found what he was looking for, "How I miss those little noises you make." He smirked as he massaged the small bundle of nerves, causing Matthew to arch his back as he moaned louder.

"Sebastian, I'm going to come ah~" Matthew moaned as Sebastian continued. "It's ok, go ahead and do so." Sebastian whispered as he pressed on the prostate harder. "Ah! Sebas~" Matthew couldn't finish his sentence as he came in Sebastian's hand. The demon chuckled softly and licked one of his coated digits, "You taste divine Matthew." Matthew blushed hard as Sebastian used his cum to coat his hole. "Now it's my turn to feel good." Sebastian smiled at Matthew; it looked more like a predator's grin.

Matthew blinked several times, there was suddenly three Sebastian's in front of him and the room was spinning, he turned around, and he stared at Sebastian, "Sebastian, I don't feel so good."

"Ah, no. You're not getting out of this one."

"No really, I feel...I feel." Matthew started to sway lightly, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and soon he started mumbling random words, and his eyes started to spin. "Matthew?" Sebastian said. Matthew chuckled softly, a goofy grin on his face, and he fainted. "Matthew!" Sebastian called out as he tried to wake the dizzy blonde. Matthew just groaned as he was shook, but didn't wake, it seems that Sebastian had forgotten that Matthew was still recovering.

Sebastian frowned as he stared at his soul mate, "...Such is my luck...then again I could continue without him being awake..." He looked at Matthew, a mischievous grin on his face, but Sebastian sighed and lay down next to Matthew, "He'd hate me if I do something like that. Besides, I want him to be wide awake when I'm in him." He pulled the younger man into his arms and he pressed his lips to his forehead, he touched the feather that he'd given to Matthew and he closed his eyes, hoping that Matthew will allow him to visit his dream.

~ASC~

"And that will be all concerning your duties for today, however...there is on last thing you need to know. There will be an increase in servants at the mansion." Sebastian said as he lowered his clipboard.

"What?" The trio said aloud, their eyes wide in shock.

"Please enter." Sebastian said as he opened the door.

"It's ok, don't be shy." They heard Matthew saying from the otherside of the door. There were strange hissing sounds and a hoard of snakes came through the door.

"Waaah snakes!" Bard shouted as he and Maylene ran screaming. Finny just screamed, standing still in fright.

"Please calm down." Sebastian sighed, frustrated at the trio, though last night could have added to that as well, "They won't bite you unless he orders them to."

"He?" Bard said as he hid behind Finny.

"Come on. The others are doing fine, so will you." Matthew whispered as he opened the door wider. Snake gulped and peeked inside the room, he watched as his snakes were able to interact with the others a lot more than he could. He clung to Matthew's arm and Sebastian frowned at that as he walked forward to them. "Straighten up!" Sebastian demanded as he smacked Snake's back, Matthew could have sworn he heard Snake's back cracking from the hit. "Introduce yourself loud and clear. Since you're here you'll have to obey our rules!"

"Be nice." Matthew whispered as he rubbed Snake's back and urged him to greet the others. "I...I'm Snake." Oscar hissed as he curled around Snake's shoulders, "N...nice to meet you. Says Oscar."

Finny gave him a puzzled look, "Umm so it's Oscar?" He asked.

"No!" Snake said with a stern voice. He pointed to himself, and Oscar pointed to Snake as well, "This one is Snake. And I'm Oscar! Says Oscar." The other snakes started to hiss and Snake pointed at each one of them, "That one's Emily." Maylene stared at Emily nervously, "Next to her is Bronte." Bard screamed as he ducked when Bronte slid down from the ceiling, "And over there is Wordsworth." Finny smiled at Woodsworth and greeted him, while Tanaka played a small tune on a flute.

"Then there on the side-" Sebastian clapped his hands together and said, "Yes. Yes. We'll talk about those 'servants' at another time. Anyway...he'll be a footman in this household from now on. Please work together." Snake gulped once more, his face was a stone, but if you look into his eyes you would see that he was nervous. He stepped back and stuck close to Matthew who still looked pale and sick, but was well enough to stay on his feet it seems.

Sebastian frowned again as he saw this and made everyone start cooking, including Snake. "Stop hanging all over him!" Sebastian whispered anger evident in his eyes.

"You know your eyes flash red when you're angry." Matthew whispered, he smirked and walked over to Snake, "I like it when they do that." Sebastian heard Matthew mumble and he smiled, a little happy at that. He pulled his coat off and wrapped the apron across his waist, Time to cook. He thought as he grabbed the fish and the knife, "Hey Sebastian!" Bard whispered harshly, "Are you for real about hiring some shady guy like this?"

"Wow!" Finny said as he stared at Snake peeling the food, correctly.

"He's good!" Maylene said, and Matthew just chuckled softly as he helped Snake out.

Sebastian's eyebrow twitched in annoyance as he heard the laughter and he said to Bard, "No matter whom he is if the Young master has made the decision, I will simply obey. Also...couldn't I say the same thing about you?" Bard pouted at that, knowing Sebastian had a point.

"I don't care who he is. However, if he bares his teeth at our master Or Matthew then..." He chopped the head off of the fish and Matthew stared at Sebastian's back, shaking his head slightly at Sebastian's words.

Is he still mad that I fainted during sex...well almost sex? Matthew sweat dropped as Sebastian stared at him, and he scratched his chin, I'll take that as a yes.

~ASC~

Sebastian placed Ciel's dinner on the table and Ciel didn't even looked at Sebastian as he asked, "How is he?"

"It will take some time to train him." Sebastian answered.

"At least he's a fast learner. It took the others forever just to do what regular people can do." Matthew said as he leaned on the back of Ciel's chair. Ciel smirked and he looked at Sebastian, "You're quite good at making people learn though aren't you?"

"Indeed. Well, it's what I was going to say but...when I see the Young master dance it appears that my teaching skills only go so far." Matthew started to laugh as Ciel frowned and read his paper. Matthew wiped a tear away and looked over Ciel's shoulder, 'The departed rising from death! Karnstein hospital performs a miracle.' On the front page there was a picture of a women coming out of a coffin and another women fainting as the family, he supposed, gaped in shock.

Ciel turned his attention to Sebastian and stared at him, "Is something wrong?" Sebastian asked.

"No, it's nothing."

"Ciel, I doubt Sebastian is a long black haired beau-"

"Wai- you can't! Don't just..." There was banging sounds and the doors flew open as Lau stepped in with Maylene and Ran Mao behind him. "Hey Earl! How are you doing?" Lau shouted.

"Lau!" Ciel stared at the china man in shock.

"I was aiming for your breakfast but you're done already?" Lau pouted in disappointment.

"What on earth could you-?"

"...huh?" Lau stared at Sebastian, "Say...didn't you die recently?"

"Listen when people are talking!" Ciel shouted and Matthew stifled a laughter as Sebastian just stood rigid as he stared at Lau.

"What on earth could you want at this hour?" Ciel said as he leaned into his seat, arms crossed and eye studying the two closely, "Surely you didn't come all the way here just to mooch a breakfast off of me?" Ran Mao clung to Lau as the man smiled at Ciel and he explained.

"A hospital that revives the dead? You mean that thing in the paper today?" Ciel asked as Sebastian served tea for everyone. Matthew watered the plants as he listened in on the conversation, finding the topic very interesting. "Yeah that." Lau said as he held up a knife and fork, ready to eat his breakfast.

Ciel huffed at that, "Unfortunately I have little interest in the occult so-"

"It may not be occult thought." Lau smiled mischievously, almost reminded Matthew of a cat.

"What?" Ciel said, his eye narrowing at Lau.

"Karnstein Hospital. They seem to be doing lots of shopping down at the back docks the Earl has me in charge of."

"Drugs?" Ciel asked.

"No...People." Lau said before he bit into a piece of fish, "They come shopping for foreign slaves illegally quite often but lately the amounts are quite unusual. I highly doubt a hospital could fit so many. Don't they just dispose of them once they're not needed? Not that I really care about that..." Lau laid his silverware down and smiled at Ciel, "Isn't it bad for a hospital like that to feature in the regular society's news?"

"In other words, you're saying there's a possibility that the revival of the dead is occurring as a result of illegal human experimentation?" Sebastian asked.

"That's right."

Ciel sighed, "If that's true then it is interference in the regular society by an underground power."

Matthew came over, a white rose in his hand as he handed it to Ran Mao, "However, remove the thorns from the rose in advance and you won't hurt your hand. Courtesy of the Phantomhive house, Ma'am." Matthew smiled at her and she touched the flower petals gently.

"Sebastian, Matthew, investigate immediately."

"Leave it to us." Sebastian said as he bowed to Ciel.

"I'm still not 100% o-" Sebastian grabbed Matthew's arm and dragged him away.

~ASC~

I felt like vomiting as Sebastian stopped in a changing room at the hospital, "Never do that again, please." I groaned and Sebastian just smirked as he handed me a lab coat. "...Seriously?" He just nodded as he adjusted his 'tutor' glasses on the bridge of his nose. I sighed and slipped my arms into the white lab coat. "You look wonderful in white, but this makes you look to...strict." Sebastian said as he buttoned the coat for me.

"And you look way better in black." He kissed my lips softly and touched my earring, "Doctors can't wear stuff like this." His hand removed it and I touched the hole were the earring use to be, missing the feather that would skim my neck.

"I'll put it back on you when we leave, for now let's investigate." He said silently, he pulled out another pair of glasses, this one not having a chain and I placed them on, the glass was removed from them so they wouldn't hurt my vision, and we both exited the changing room.

We wandered around the hospital and Sebastian spotted a woman, a very chatty woman it seemed as she had a bunch of nurses surrounding her while she chattered away. "I'll go speak to her, you go-"

"We'll speak to her!" I whispered harshly at him, and he just shook his head, a smile on his face. "I love it when you're angry." He whispered in my ear, his lips brushing over it. My face flamed up and I wondered if I was going to faint again, instead I shook my head and we both walked over to the women.

"Good evening ladies." Sebastian greeted, his voice sounding much deeper and suaver than usual. I'm so going to kick him in the- "Why hello~ I've never seen you two doctors before."

"That's because we've been busy with...certain things." I said and some of the girls stared at me, blushes on their faces as I ran my hand through my hair. Sebastian smirked and placed a hand on my shoulder, a sign saying that I belong to him, but instead looked as if we were just friendly friends, "Yes. Though you must know what we are talking about of course. After all such an intelligent looking woman such as yourself must obviously be aware of what goes on around here." She giggled and the other nurses left, off to go do their work.

"Oh my, are you two the ones that bring them back? How romantic to wake up from such a long sleep, only to see such handsome faces." She sighed happily and I sweat dropped as I tried to smile back, Is this what Sebastian goes through? And seriously, I'm handsome? I know I look a little bit above average than the regular 19 year olds, but still, handsome?

"We really love our jobs, and we enjoy bringing loved ones back to their family members." I said and Sebastian walked over to her, and tapped his chin, "I wonder...how much do you know of what we do? I always thought that it was to be kept secret."

"Didn't you know? It's all over the newspaper." She said, looking at us suspiciously.

"We hardly ever have time to read the news, nor do we know what happens around us. We work for so long that we hardly even have time to attend parties, or greetings, our social life has been drastically shattered." I hurriedly said, hoping she would buy it.

"Oh, I know how that feels. In fact, the only way I've been able to survive in this hospital is by talking with the gals here." She said, as she started talking about this and that. I cleared my throat, interrupting her talk and she looked at me, "I see, though, I have always wondered, what they say about us?" I asked her.

"Well, you didn't hear it from me but..."

~ASC~

Ciel stared out the window and he spotted Finny showing Snake the front yard. "Reviving the dead eh... How foolish...hm?" He stopped and stared as a carriage pulled in, "Oh no." Ciel paled and looked around, trying to find a place to hide.

"Ciel~" Lizzie busted through the doors and rushed over to him, "Listen! We're having a family trip in April! We will travel to New York on a luxury passenger ship for 3 weeks from the 17th!" She grabbed Ciel's hands and for some reason a heart appeared behind them, "And so, father was wondering if you'd like to-"

"That's impossible." Ciel interrupted.

"Eeeh!" She said, as she looked down at Ciel, "It's a ticket for the Campania's maiden voyage! They say it's the most luxurious ship in the world! Mother said it would be good if Ciel took a rest every once in a while..."

Ciel sweat dropped not wanting to say what he was going to have to, but had no choice, "I appreciate the thought but, I can't take that much time off." There was a tear in the corner of Lizzie's eye as she looked ready to break down into tears. Ciel sighed, "I'll go if it's somewhere close."

"Eh!" She shouted.

"I can make time for a few days. Then I'll go where ever you want. Somewhere close you hear me!" He emphasized the last statement as Lizzie smiled wide, "So-Wah!" Ciel was glomped by the girl.

"As long as we're together anywhere is fine! I'm so happy."

"Anywhere is the most difficult you know..." Ciel mumbled.

He was able to convince Lizzie to leave the mansion and he watched her from the window as she waved outside the carriage, screaming at the top of her lungs, "I'll bring you back lots of souvenirs!" Ciel just sigh a small smile on his face as he thought of how silly Lizzie could be. "What are you grinning at?" Sebastian asked as he popped his head on the side of the window.

"Uwah!" Ciel screamed, jumping backwards only to have his back touch something, "Sebastian, use the front door like a normal human!" Matthew yelled as he held Ciel up, the little master's heart beating wildly in his chest as he glared at his two servants, "Don't surprise me like that! And what's with those outfits!"

Matthew opened the window for Sebastian and he snuck in, both were still in their lab coats, Sebastian had a stethoscope around his neck, and black gloves on his hands. Matthew had a similar lab coat and his stethoscope was around his neck, the bell hanging on the side, and glasses hanging on the breast pocket. "Well as they say, when in Rome," Sebastian said.

"Do as the Romans do." Matthew finished as Sebastian reattached his earring.

"Moreover, I obtained some rather interesting information." Sebastian said as Matthew took out a clipboard and handed it to Sebastian, "It's about the aforementioned Karnstein hospital. It seems that the upper-rank doctors, including the director Ryan Stoker-"

"No relations to Bram Stoker." Matthew said, Sebastian cleared his throat and continued his sentence, "Have opened an association called the 'Aurora Society,' According to a nurse who squealed," Matthew snickered at that as he sat down on one of Ciel's chairs and rested for a bit, "The Aurora society holds presentations for the results of their experiments regularly and collects donations from nobles."

"The Aurora Society's true face is that of a secret society that consists solely of doctors, who have," Sebastian made air quotes in the air, "It is, 'The complete salvation of mankind through medicine' as their motto...it has been confirmed that the members conduct illegal human experiments within the hospital daily." Sebastian adjusted the glasses as he continued to read off of the clipboard, "There was no sign of slaves inside the hospital and there was nothing pertaining to human experiments of the revival of the dead."

"It couldn't get any fishier than this huh?"

"Oh it can, I'm waiting for Victor Frankenstein to come out of nowhere." Matthew chuckled at his own joke as the others just shook their head, "Yes, I'm certain there is some definite clue to be found in this 'Aurora Society."

"When is their next meeting?"

"It is scheduled to be on a passenger ship departing from South Hampton port on the 17th of April." Matthew answered for Sebastian.

"Hmph, meeting on a ship...sounds like something nobles would...hm? April 17th...!" Ciel's eyes widen as he remembered what Lizzie had said.

"We're having a family trip in April! We'll be travelling to New York on a luxurious passenger ship for 3 weeks starting the 17th!"

Ciel slapped his hands on the desk, waking Matthew from his short nap, and slightly startling Sebastian, "What is the name of that boat!"

"The Blue Star Line's Luxury Ship."

"Sebastian, this is an order. Get us on that boat immediately!" Ciel demanded.

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed to him and forced Matthew on to his feet and dragged him out.

"Sebastian, I'm going to faint if I keep running around." Matthew whined as they stepped out onto a ledge, "...You don't want to come with me?" Sebastian asked, his hand holding Matthew's own, cradling it softly as his thumb lightly rubbed his knuckles.

A small smile appeared on Matthew's lips as he stared up at Sebastian, "Ok...but when I say stop, please do, I feel like I'm going to lose my lunch if we keep going that fast." Sebastian nodded and Matthew removed the lab coat and threw it to the ground, "After this, your making me a green apple pie for dessert." Matthew said as Sebastian lifted him up bridal-style and kicked off from the ledge.

~ASC~

Sebastian covered Matthew with a blanket and he picked up the pie dish that was by the side of his bed, "My, such a big appetite, I'm glad he started eating more." He looked down at Matthew. The blonde released a sigh in his sleep as his hand clutched his pillow.

"Meow~" Sebastian turned his head and spotted Midnight at the window, "Hey, where have you've been?" He called softly to her as she rubbed against his leg, "You've grown bigger..." He furrowed his eyebrows and sniffed the air, "You're pregnant? My, such a busy kitty." She purred at Sebastian and hopped on the bed and she snaked her way through Matthew's arms and cuddled with him.

"I'm so jealous; I think you've spent more time with him than I've ever had." She just continued to purr, her tail tapping silently on the bed as Matthew unconsciously rubbed his fingers on her stomach.

"Matthew..." Sebastian said silently as he bent down, "I love you." He whispered and he brushed his lips against Matthew's forehead and left the room.

~ASC random lemon 'what if' scene~

Snake led Sebastian to Matthew's room and Sebastian made no move to open the door, remembering that Matthew didn't want him. "What's wrong with him?" He asked Snake. Snake twiddled his fingers and he said, "You-you need to see it!"

"Alright, but I don't want you anywhere near this room! This is between me and him." Snake nodded and left immediately. Sebastian took a deep breath and opened the door, and entered the room. He saw Matthew covered with the blankets on the bed, curled up into a ball. He walked over to Matthew and whispered softly, "Matthew? Are you ok?" He grabbed the covers and pulled them off.

His eyes widen, and a light blush spread to his cheeks as the blanket slipped out of his hand. Matthew opened his emerald eyes that shined in the dark, and he gave a slight moan as he stretched out full on the bed, nails long on his fingers pierced his pillows, a light yellow tail moved softly against the bed, and two large furry ears twitched, the feather earring pinned on still moved back and forth, as he gave a small yawn, little fangs peeking out. "M-Matthew?"

"Sebastian..." A single tear slid down Matthew's cheek. He sat up on the bed and took Sebastian's hand, pulling it gently to his chest, "You left me alone."

Sebastian sat down on the bed and his free hand wrapped around Matthew's waist, "I'll never do it again." He whispered. Matthew stared at him and rubbed his tear stained cheek against Sebastian's, "I changed myself, do you like me better this way? Will you stay forever with me, now that I changed?" Sebastian's grip tightened around Matthew and he pressed his lips against Matthew, "You have always been perfect; you never had to change for me."

"Then...do you want me to go back to normal?" Matthew asked his ears slightly folded down on his head. Sebastian blushed again and his hand touched the right ear, slightly squeezing it. "Ngh~" Matthew gave a slight moan, a purr slowly rising and Sebastian gulped as he trailed his other hand down Matthew's back. "Ah~ That tickles." Matthew said as he arched his back like a feline.

"Matthew," Sebastian called out, "I want you." Matthew stared at him, and the corner of his right mouth tilted up, "You pervert." Sebastian pushed him down on the bed and he attacked Matthew's neck. Matthew mewled in pleasure and his claws cut the buttons off of Sebastian's clothing, "I missed you so much Sebastian." Matthew whispered as he pulled Sebastian's upper clothing off. Sebastian stared down at Matthew and gave the blonde a light kiss on his lips, "And I missed you." He slipped Matthew's black pants off, and Sebastian smirked as he stared at Matthew's body, "You healed my bite mark I left for you. Bad Matthew, that's to keep others away." Sebastian chuckled and he softly ordered, "On your hands and knees."

Matthew blushed and did so, his tail wrapping around his leg. Sebastian smirked and he stroked Matthew's back, getting a small moan from Matthew. He unbuttoned his pants, his manhood proud and erect and his large hands gripped Matthew's hips, "Forgive me for being eager Matthew, but I must have you now." Sebastian pressed the tip of his erection against Matthew's puckered hole and in a swift thrust he entered Matthew.

"Ah~" Matthew whimpered and he pressed against Sebastian, "Aah, S-Sebastian that hurt." Sebastian softly growled as he felt Matthew's inside slightly squeezing him. He placed a kiss between Matthew's shoulder blades and slowly thrusted in and out, "Matthew~" He whispered, his claws digging into Matthew's hips.

Matthew arched his back, moaning as Sebastian's member scraped against his prostate. Sebastian's tongue slipped out and he licked Matthew's left ear, the small red ruby cold against his tongue, "Sebas~tian, n-not my ear- Ah~ It's sensitive." Sebastian smirked at this and he nipped the tip of the ear.

"Ah!" Matthew reward Sebastian by pushing against him and Sebastian growled in pleasure as he bucked harder, making Matthew called his name over and over. He grabbed Matthew tail and lightly pulled it, getting a small cry from the blonde, "I'm sorry, did I pull to hard?" He stroked the tail, and he watched as Matthew's claws dig into the bed, "Se...bast...ian. I'm going to come~"

"Then do so, Love."

Matthew bit back a moan and shook his head, "I want to make you feel good~" He breathed out. Sebastian raised an eyebrow and Matthew turned his head and stared at Sebastian, "Let me, please?" Sebastian blushed at this, not expecting Matthew to act this way, and Matthew pulled away from him, "I want you to come first this time."

Sebastian gave a growl, "I don't play bottom."

Matthew placed his hands on Sebastian's chest and he whispered, "Trust in me." He whispered. Sebastian let himself be pushed down on the bed, and Matthew crawled on top of him, a faint blush crawling on his cheek, "If I'm doing it wrong, s-sorry." He mumbled as he positioned himself. Sebastian watched him wearily, and he groaned as Matthew slid himself onto his throbbing member. Matthew stared down at him, and he slowly started to ride Sebastian, "Ngh, Matthew." Sebastian growled in the back of his throat, his hands gripped Matthew's waist, and he thrusted up.

"Ah!" Matthew bit his bottom lip and started riding Sebastian faster, "Sebastian...let me...let me do this for you!" He moaned in annoyance. Sebastian growled again and he grabbed Matthew's member and started pumping it as he bucked in rhythm with Matthew. "Sebastian!" Matthew mewled, his tail curling and his ears folded to the back. Sebastian rubbed his thumb on the weeping tip and he said, "I told you I don't like being bottom. I want you to be happy moron!" He sat up and wrapped an arm around Matthew's waist, "If you're so eager to making me release, then we'll do it together." Sebastian smirked and Matthew groaned slight in disappointment, but his legs went around Sebastian's own waist, "Ok."

Together, they moved, Matthew on Sebastian's lap, lightly bit his mate's neck, and Sebastian stroked his member, softly whispering sweet words to Matthew. Their release was quickly nearing, and Matthew pressed his lips to Sebastian, and their tongues danced together. Matthew groaned as he came, his walls squeezing around Sebastian's penis, and Sebastian came a few seconds later, both riding on their wave of ecstasy.

"Sebastian," Matthew whispered as he buried his head into the crook of Sebastian's neck, "I love you." Sebastian smiled as he lowered Matthew on the bed, and he lay next to him, "I love you too." He tucked a lock of hair behind Matthew's ear, and he kissed Matthew's lips. His hand tweaked one of the ears and he smirked, "So...planning on staying this way?" Matthew blushed and pushed Sebastian off the bed, "Good night Sebastian!" He grabbed the covers from the floors and wrapped it around his body.

"What! Was it something I said? Matthew...Matthew?" Sebastian stood up from the ground and he shook Matthew's shoulder, "I'm sorry! I was just playing around, I don't mean it!" Matthew pulled the covers over his head, and a small smile grew on his lips, You perverted demon...but you're my perverted demon.

"Matthew! Matthew!" Sebastian pouted, and he slipped into the bed with Matthew, "I love you, no matter what form you take." He lightly pulled the covers down, and placed a kiss on Matthew's cheek.

~Fin~

Matthew covered his face in embarrassment and both Authoress and Sebastian snickered, "Sebastian, it would have been even funnier if Matthew took you. But I like this better."

"Either way, I never want him to be top, even if he's riding me."

Matthew tsked, a permanent blush still on his face, and he shouted, "Idiot! It was just a thought! Besides, why do I always have to be bottom, no matter what!" Authoress stopped laughing and she grinned at Matthew, "Sebastian can answer that."

Sebastian smirked at this, "Because, it's the male's job to satisfy the woman."

"But I'm not a woman...HEY! DON'T COMPARE ME TO A GIRL!" Matthew shouted.

Authoress and Sebastian laughed again, and Matthew tackled Sebastian and tried to choke his mate, "You're so infuriating!" Sebastian just laughed as he wrapped his arms around Matthew's waist and flipped their position, him on top, and Matthew on the bottom. "Really? Because I bet I can make you say my name again." Matthew gulped, and Sebastian looked at the camera, "Get lost."

Authoress cleared her throat and grabbed the camera, "Till next time folks, don't forget to send in your own interview questions." Authoress waved, and shut the camera off.
