Chapter 6

Ciel was sleeping peacefully, dreaming of absolutely nothing, just lying there in a dead-like state. Then…bright lights were fully blown out onto Ciel's face.

"Aaahhh!!! What the fuck? I'm sleeping, damn it!!!" Ciel yelled at the person who had opened the curtains.

The young boy heard an evil, manly giggle.

"What the bloody hell is so funny, Sebastian?"

The butler stalked over to his young master and helped him out of bed, "Nothing, my lord. Just, the look on your face is delightful".

Ciel blushed. And blushed even harder at the thought of last night's events.

"What happened, milord? Are you coming down with a fever?" Sebastian pressed a hand to Ciel's forehead.

Quickly, Ciel swatted his butler's hand away, "N-no! It's just hot in here, that's all".

Sebastian lifted an eyebrow but left it alone, "So what would the young master like to do today? Before we head home, that is".

Ciel's mind automatically thought of "that" again and the thought alone kept the blush on his face. Why the hell would he be thinking about "that" at a time like this? What a ridiculous thought!

"I don't know, Sebastian. Indulge me", Ciel said facing the opposite direction so that his butler couldn't see him still flustered. Sebastian bent down on one knee and brought a hand to his chest and said, "Yes, my lord".

(Later That Day)

"Come on, Sebastian. I command you to let me go this instant!"

"I am sorry, my lord, but please bare with me for a while. It will get better, I promise. You'll like what I am about to show you", Sebastian said.

"Ow!" Ciel yelled.

"My apologies, my lord, that was my fault", Sebastian smiled but did not stop what he was doing.

"Well, of course! It's not like I can see where I am going!" Ciel scoffed.

Apparently, Sebastian had put a hand over Ciel's eyes while he lead him onto the carriage, through the whole carriage ride and now that they were walking towards something unknown.

Suddenly, Ciel felt Sebastian's hand slip off of his face, "You may open your eyes now, young master". Ciel did so and when he opened his eyes he saw…

"Why is it that every time you surprise me, you tend to overdo it?"

Sebastian raised an eyebrow, "Is this what the master calls 'overdoing it'?"

Ciel looked at his surroundings and listened carefully to the people talking and the little children laughing.

Ciel built up a smirk, "No, I guess not. A little unexpected is all".

Even with one eye covered, Ciel could perfectly see the colorful lights radiating from the carousel. He could also see the small children smile brightly while riding said carousel. Sebastian and Ciel began to walk around, one closer to the other. Ciel's heart began beating as if it were going to jump out of his chest.

'Why is my heart beating so quickly? It couldn't be because of him…could it?'

Sebastian noticed the spaced out look on his master's face, "What are you thinking of, milord?"

Ciel snapped out of his thoughts, "Oh…uh, nothing. Just wondering what came upon you to bring me to a carnival".

An attractive, sexy smile appeared on Sebastian's face, "No reason, young master. I just thought that you'd enjoy attending a carnival since you probably haven't in a while".

Ciel knew he shouldn't be elated at the demon's words; this is the guy who touched him in a very inappropriate manner. But…the young Phantomhive Earl could not stop his own heart from reacting and he quickly thought of all the comforting things his butler had done. Even though he couldn't trust him completely, even though he wouldn't allow him to touch him only during his bath time, maybe, just maybe, he was starting to feel a little grateful for all he has done.

"—my lord?"

"Huh, what?"

"I said, 'Would you like to ride the rollercoaster, my lord?' " Sebastian said pointing to a giant thing up, almost, in the sky.

"What in God's name is THAT!?" Ciel had to bend his head backwards to get a good look at the thing.

"It is called a 'rollercoaster'. An American, who tested the law of gravity, built the first one in a city called 'New York'. Apparently, since it goes so fast, not one single person can fall out or anything dangerous like that. How about it, my lord?" Sebastian was obviously challenging whether or not his master was man enough to try such a thing.

"Of course! This is elementary, my dear butler. Any real man can go on that thing", Ciel pompously said.

Ciel began walking towards it and said, "Well, are you coming? Or are you too chicken to try?"

Sebastian grew an evil grin and his eyes turned a vicious shade of red, but said nothing as he followed his master.

'This is going to be fun', was the only thought running through his head.

(Waiting In Line)

First, it was a small twitch.

Then, it was the arm scratching.

Next, it was a slight foot tapping.

Last, it was the whole body shake.

"What happened, young master, getting cold feet?" Sebastian said with a grin.

"As if! Waiting in line is lowly! I'm just getting impatient. Remind why I have to wait here again?" Ciel covered up his true feelings again.

"Because it would not be fair to those less fortunate than you, big mighty man", Sebastian said sarcastically.

"Are you being sarcastic with me!?"

"I do not know, am I?" God, teasing Ciel beat a day in Hell any day.

"You really have the gall to be speaking to your master like that! I should punish you for disrespecting me!" Ciel practically yelled.

Sebastian never let loose his evil smile, "Is that a threat or a promise?"

Ciel said nothing; he just glared at his butler. And right when he was about to call it a day and get off the line, the man motioned for them to get on.

The two were seated right next to each other and placed right in the front.

'Crap, crap, crap, crap, CRAP!!' The truth was, that Ciel was scared shitless but he couldn't let the demon know another weakness of his.

As they adjusted themselves to secure their ride, Ciel felt himself start to wheeze.

'Oh hell no. My asthma can't be acting up NOW!!!!'

"Is anything wrong, young master? Your cheeks are so red it seems as if I slapped you. Young master, your breathing!" Sebastian showed a bit of anxiety but not enough for Ciel to notice.

Ciel continued to wheeze, but at that moment the rollercoaster began. It dashed down and up again, and once more. It was as if they were on sleds going down a giant hill and up one.

"Aahhhhhh!!!!" For a moment, Ciel had completely forgotten about his asthma attack and his nervousness because he was screaming so loudly.

Sebastian, on the other hand, was just bored out of his mind by such a trivial thing invented by humans. Albeit, what DID entertain him was the look on his master's face.

'Priceless', he thought.

As the ride came to it's end, everyone got out, even poor little Ciel on weak legs and an upset stomach. His throat ached from screaming and his legs felt like they were about to give out at any moment. He felt a little lightheaded and deep regret built up in his very soul.

He grabbed onto Sebastian tailcoat and the butler turned around. Ciel collapsed onto his knees and looked up with almost pleading eyes. Sebastian was awaiting a simple, "You were right" or a "Please, carry me". Oh no, that wasn't what he got.

Ciel stared at him and said, "You're such an asshole, you know that?"

Sebastian's eyes widened, "Huh?"

"You didn't honestly think I'd admit defeat, did you? Correction, you're not just an asshole; you're a dumbass as well. Congratulations Mighty Dumbass", Ciel said regaining strength in his legs again and getting up.

Sebastian was dumbfounded by his young master's unique personality. This child seemed like the only person who could surprise the demon at any given moment. Maybe, it wasn't so bad having a contract with the young earl.

"Well, where to next?"

Ciel's question wiped off the stupid look off of his butler's face.

"Wherever you wish to go, my lord", Sebastian recovered.

Ciel just kept walking and his butler followed.

He paused and said, "Sebastian?"

"Yes, my lord?"

"Buy me that", Ciel said pointing to an unknown pink substance.

"Yes, my lord", Sebastian said as he went off to buy the item his master wanted.

He came back with a cotton-like fluff on a cone and handed it to his master.

"What in the world is this?" Ciel asked.

"I do not know, young master. You were the one who requested it".

Ciel continued to stare at the fluff as if it were a difficult calculus question. As if it were going to bite him and he needed to make sure it didn't have eyes.

Sebastian was getting impatient and snatched the cone, tore off a piece and shoved it into his master's mouth.

"What the—mmph! Mm-hmmh!" was the only thing Ciel could manage to say.

"So, how is it my lord?"

Ciel swallowed, "You…you…you idiot!!!! I could've choked on that, you know!"

"But how was it?" Sebastian acted as if he did no such thing.

"Well, it was…actually very delicious. It melts in your mouth as if it was made of ice or something but it feels like cotton. And it is very sweet and filling!"

There it was. The childish sparkle in the boy's eyes Sebastian noticed the other day.

Ciel began eating some more as they walked towards the carousel.

"Let us go on the carousel, young master. It seems about empty so there won't be many people on line", Sebastian said.

Ciel just nodded happily but did not smile.

True to his word, there was no one on line, so they got onto the carousel as quickly as possible.

"Would the young master like to ride on the horsy?" Sebastian mocked.

"Ha ha ha, very funny. No, horses are for children, I'd much rather sit on that comfortable looking divan", Ciel said while still eating his cotton candy.

As they sat down, the carousel started its round and music began to play around them.

Ciel sat there, looking very content and Sebastian just closed his eyes and nodded off into thought.

That was when he felt a sudden jab in his side.

Ciel was elbowing him in the ribs, "What is it, my lord?"

"Want some?" Ciel said offering some cotton candy.

"No thank you, my lord. Demons needn't such things", Sebastian refused.

"Come on, it's good", Ciel said inching the candy closer to Sebastian.

Sebastian shook his head and Ciel pressed the cotton candy to his butler's lips. Sebastian wondered how far Ciel would go just to give him candy, and so he refused again. Ciel sighed but did not let up. He really didn't want to do this, but he knew what Sebastian was like, so he had to do it if he wanted to get rid of the candy.

Ciel placed a hand on Sebastian's thigh and brushed his small hand against the front of his pants. Sebastian gasped and Ciel took this opportunity to shove the cotton candy into his butler's mouth.

Sebastian mumbled something incoherently and swallowed.

Ciel laughed at his genius plan.

"That was dirty, my lord", Sebastian was honestly surprised at his lord's bravery.

"I didn't think it'd actually work! Ha ha!" Ciel laughed at his own explicitness but suddenly went all serious. What had he been thinking? What a lewd way to joke around! He shouldn't have thought it was funny, even though it was.

Ciel's body shook like it did when waiting on line for the rollercoaster. He was acting like such a whore for doing such things. What the fuck was wrong with him!?

Ciel was in a state of self-loathing when he suddenly felt a large arm wrap itself around him and brought him to meet a hard, yet soft chest.

"It was but a mere joke, my lord. It doesn't determine who or what you are. What you learned as a slave was not your fault but those disgusting humans' fault", Sebastian was starting to piss himself off at the act of kindness he kept showing his young master.

"I am disgusting as well! *hiccup* "

Sebastian massaged his master's neck and undid the knots that had built up, "No, you're not. You are not like them at all. You're clean, Ciel, purer than even the angels up in heaven".

"You're full of it, aren't you?" Ciel retorted.

"What? I do not lie, not like those humans. I have better things to say and do than to deviate one with such falsehood", Sebastian said.

"You are a demon, I thought that's what you were made for", Ciel said allowing himself to lean into the demon.

"Not all of us demons follow the rules", Sebastian put simply.

Ciel shifted in his embrace and said, "I'm useless".

Sebastian titled his head in confusion, "Why do you think so, my lord?"

"This is the second time in less than day that I've cried. That is unacceptable", Ciel pouted.

Sebastian's eye twitched and before he knew what he was doing, his thumb and forefinger came together to flick the young boy on the head.

"Ow! What was that for?" cried Ciel.

"Young master, I am sorry, but feeling sorry for yourself is going to get you nowhere. Believe me when I say, 'you are NOT, by any means, disgusting'. You are but a mere boy, I may be a demon, but even demons can see the difference between those who are truly tainted and those who think they are. You, as I said before, are not defiled in any way. So stop all this baby nonsense and start acting like the true Phantomhive Earl".

Ciel sat there, taken aback, and started to think about what his butler had said. And how true were his words. Ciel bucked up and dried the tears and snot from his face. He adjusted his shirt and flattened out his hair. The boy touched his eye-patch and placed it in its place.

"No matter how much I refuse to believe it, you are right, Sebastian. I was too stuck on the past to realize my own selfishness. Starting today, I will abandon that brat of a child self of mine and become the man that is worthy of bearing the Phantomhive name", Ciel kissed his ring.

As the carousel came to an end, he stood up and walked off with a kind of elegance that was borderline arrogance that Sebastian had never seen before.

"Coming?"

It was a simple question, yet Sebastian could just taste the confidence held in those words.

Now that the demon had pointed out his master's flaws, and now that the boy would correct them, things would start to straighten out. Things would be different from now on.

Yes, this boy's soul would be different. One he had never had before.

dreamgirl: Can you believe this took up eight pages??? Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW!!!! I'm actually pretty glad Sebastian and Ciel are deepening their bond. Once I'm done with this whole bond crap, the lemons will start. Thanks again KalanaFox!!!! ^_^
