UPDATE 6/5/11: I've been meaning to fix this chapter for such a long time. 12Marina21 and I are going to go through a lot of these early chapters and make them a lot better. I took out the entire scene that caused some issues before. It wouldn't have any impact on the story if it were removed. I never looked back on it again anyway. I can now smile at this chapter again. Enjoy.

Hi hi! I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU! WE HAVE OVER 3000 HITS ON THIS STORY! I am patiently (not really) waiting for the main computer to be free. I have been waiting all day and it's getting quite annoying. So for right now I am on my laptop where almost everything is blocked thanks to the school. On the bright side though, I dusted off my Portal game. I forgot how epic that was. I'm listening to 'Still Alive' right now and wanna sing it so bad. But I am surrounded by people and thus cannot do so. If it will ever fit, I may stick the song in somewhere in this fanfic. It could happen.

I'm too lazy to do brownie points. Go look in the reviews thingy to see.

YaoiSakka is now beta reading this story! Someone in a review said I need to proofread my chapters lol.

Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.

Me: Of course I haven't written a chapter on this laptop yet so every other word is being flagged. FANFIC IS A WORD! LOOK IT UP!

Mating Season

I might love him

Ciel's POV

I opened my eyes only to quickly shut them again as blinding light filled the room. I pulled the covers over my head to return back to the darkness I was used to. Just as I was drifting away from reality, a numbing coldness overwhelmed me. My eyes shot open to see that a certain demon threw the covers off the bed. I sat up and glared at him.

"Sebastian…what is the meaning of this?" I hissed at him.

The butler merely smiled, "I'm waking you up. Nina Hopkins is coming over to measure you for new winter clothes. Even though I doubt you've grown since then."

I threw a pillow in Sebastian's face for saying that comment, "Fine. Whatever." I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea and emptied the few things I ate the previous evening into the toilet. I came back out and sighed, "Sebastian, how much more of this must I endure? Throwing up almost every morning is getting exhausting."

The demon walked over and placed his hand on my abdomen and felt around a little, "Hmmm…according to the subtle movements, you are almost 2 months out of 10."

My heart skipped a beat, "10? Are you kidding me?"

"Well unlike humans, demon infants take more time to develop. But since this is a demon-human hybrid, it might range from 9 ½ months to 10 at max." Sebastian explained to me, much to my chagrin.

I rubbed my temples to soothe the aching headache I had, "Sebastian, I request you not say 'demon-human hybrid' because then I feel like I'm carrying some sort of monster, which might I add, doesn't make me feel a whole lot better on the situation."

Sebastian nodded, "Understood. My apologies."

So later on that day, Miss Nina came to the manor in the front as usual. Sebastian scolded her about it again. I was getting tired of the same things happening every time she comes over. At least Lizzie wasn't here so that I wouldn't have to worry about her seeing the dreaded slave mark on my back.

Miss Nina came in and we started immediately.

I stood on the stool as she took measurements while fussing about how I haven't grown.

As she measured my waist I heard her giggle, "Oooh, Ciel have we been eating a bit too much than we need? You're getting a little pudgy!"

I chuckled lightly and shot a death glare at Sebastian when I heard him chuckle as well.

Miss Nina paused the measurements for a moment and turned to Sebastian, "Excuse me, Mr. Stiff? I would like it if you could leave the room for a minute. I have some creative ideas I'd like to talk to Ciel about."

"I don't see why I need to leave?" Sebastian retorted.

"You just do okay?" The tailor snapped.

I watched my butler leave the room, "Okay Miss Nina, what ideas do you have? Because I don't-"

Miss Nina cut me off by putting a finger to my lips and got strangely serious, "Ciel. Do not lie to me. I have known you for a long time and your measurements have never changed. This time they were different."

I shrugged, "I don't see what the problem is. Maybe I'm finally growing."

"Yeah you are growing. But not in the way I would like. You are getting curvier. You are developing a more womanly figure. Did my corset do that much damage to you?" She fussed.

Trying desperately to ignore her criticism, my mind wandered to something else. Hopefully to something happier. But no such luck. I immediately thought of the previous night with Sebastian betraying me. Tears wanted to form in my eyes but I pushed them back as best I could. Well you found my weakness, Sebastian. Congratulations. Was it worth it? Because despite your violent behavior, the only thing you've managed to break so far is my heart.

"Ciel, what's wrong?"

The voice snapped me out of my thoughts, Miss Nina looked at me with great concern. I felt tears on my cheeks. Damn my emotions. I hastily wiped them away, "It's NOTHING. I just got something in my eye."

Miss Nina decided to pay it no mind and let Sebastian come back in. She announced she will have them completed by next week.

I walked over to my desk and sat down. Sebastian came over to me, "Bocchan, would you like anything?"

"No." I said abruptly, "You may leave now."

"Yes my lord." He said, bowing.

When he left and I made sure he was out of earshot, I put my head down on my desk and screamed.

Awwww. That's so sad. Ciel is confused about love. He's so young and so immature.

Ciel: No I'm not.

Me: *hugs him again* Heh heh, shut up dear.
