Wow, I cannot remember the last time I wrote on my home computer instead of my laptop. Well, the snow has melted and we are now getting a crap ton of rain. I'm actually a bit excited right now because someone I am best friends with in reality has started reading this and as far as I know, he doesn't even like yaoi. He is the bravest guy I have ever met. It's amazing how people are like outside of church lol. It's amusing because he asks all these questions that people who aren't fans would ask.

So anyway, I have been struggling for the past few days for ideas. I have had this plot bunnie stalking me for a while but it wasn't big enough to fill a chapter. But I have finally come up with something! Hooray~!

I have been dying to show you all this picture but I always forget! I love this artist and she does amazing work: http:// madeleine-elizabeth. deviantart. com/art/what-D-151191991

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

Me: But Ciel is still mine!

Ciel: Leave me out of this.

SLIGHTLY OOC SEBASTIAN AT THE END OF THIS!!

Mating Season

Side effects

Sebastian's POV

It had been about a month since Ciel had become a demon and things were surprisingly smooth. He has finally stopped throwing up in the mornings, which is good. I'm a bit surprised though because I've heard from others that side effects traditionally follow shortly after the demonizing occurs.

My mind was soon torn away from my work when I heard the familiar ringing of the bell. I checked my pocket watch and noticed it was about time for the master's afternoon snack. He's been eating more now that the vomiting has ceased and he can actually keep things down.

I put the desserts I had previously prepared onto the trolley and made my way to the master's study. I casually knocked on the door as usual and proceeded in once I was given the okay.

"It is time for your afternoon snack, bocchan." I announced.

Ciel stopped tapping his fingernails impatiently against the desk, "Ah."

I began placing the treats in front of the master as he watched me with his one eye.

Once I had completed plating, I revealed each of them, "First we have the Chamomile tea, accompanied with 2 chocolate tortes and strawberries."

Like the child he was, Ciel went for the gooey chocolate center of the torte first. I chuckled to myself as I watched such an amusing sight.

It was then that I noticed something different about the master today. He was wearing his scarf indoors.

"Bocchan, is there any reason you are wearing your winter scarf in the springtime?" I asked curiously.

"O-oh," the young boy's voice faltered slightly, "it's nothing. Don't worry about it."

Unsatisfied, I walked behind him and began to unravel the scarf from the master's neck. But the second I touched it, Ciel spun around in his chair and glared at me, his bright red eye burning in anger, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!"

I raised an eyebrow at the sudden mood change, "I was merely removing the scarf because it isn't appropriate for this type of weather."

"I told you not to worry about it!" The boy snapped back, "Do you dare disobey me and go against the contract?!"

I stood there in silence for a minute or two before I took off the scarf in a blink of an eye without Ciel even flinching.

Ciel's face heated in anger and embarrassment as he quickly covered a portion of his neck, "Are you deaf, you insufferable demon?! I strictly told you NOT TO TOUCH IT!"

"No, you simply told me not to worry about it." I said shaking my head, "Now, what are you hiding on your neck?"

As I reached out to touch his hands he inched back, "Nothing."

I tilted my head, "If it's nothing then you have no reason to be hiding it."

After a bit of a struggle, I pried his hands off his neck to reveal a terrible mark that manifested his pale skin, "Bocchan, what is this?"

More anger rose out of the young teen, "Like I would know! It just appeared yesterday out of nowhere!" He pulled down his collar to reveal more of the unsightly bruise, "And it goes all the way down my fucking chest!"

"So these are the side effects…" I mumbled to myself.

"What did you say?!" Ciel yelled, "Sebastian, I order you to tell me what is wrong!"

I think that roast in the oven should be done by now, I thought while ignoring him, Perhaps I should go get it.

I turned my back on the master and headed for the door. Ducking quickly, I dodged a fork that was thrown at me. Smirking, I turned back to the furious child, "Yes, bocchan?"

Ciel's POV

I pouted, "Tell me what is wrong with me Sebastian…NOW." I made sure to accentuate the last part with a hint of anger.

Still smirking, he finally answered me, "It's a side effect to the demonization. It almost always occurs after a mortal becomes a demon. I was waiting for it to happen but you were taking a bit longer than usual cases."

My eye twitched in annoyance, "So you are telling me that you knew this would happen?! I have a purple and red bruise that stretches from my neck to my abdomen! Is this ever going to go away?"

He nodded, "Oh yes it will. It should only last a week or two. Whether it will affect the child in any way is the real question."

At that moment my head turned cold. The child. I looked down at the bump that has been gradually growing for almost 4 months now. How did Sebastian say that so calmly? Is he actually totally okay with this entire situation?! I've been freaking out in my head although I never show it. I'm too proud to show that much emotion in front of others.

I sighed, "Can I have my fork back please?"

Sebastian glanced at the fork that was still lodged in the wall and pulled it out in one tug. He rotated the fork in his hands, as if admiring it, "Hmm, should I give you the fork back? Or should I make you come get it since you threw it at me in the first place?"

I scowled at the demon and held my hand out without saying a word.

Chuckling a bit, Sebastian slowly made his way over to me and placed the fork in my outstretched hand.

"You may leave now." I told him sharply.

He bowed, "Yes, my lord."

Once the door shut, I resumed eating the food he had brought.

Sebastian's POV

I returned back to the butler's study and I immediately noticed the blood red envelope that was placed on my desk. I knew it must have been from home. I picked it up and flipped it over to reveal a black wax seal.

A letter from Grandfather? What does he want?

I opened it up and pulled out the letter. It was definitely from Grandfather. This is his handwriting.

Dear Lucifer,

Your mother came back and explained to me what you had told her. She seemed upset when she returned. While I do not fully approve your partner choice, he is a demon now, so that doesn't disgrace the Michaelis family name. He is welcome in our family, for now.

Now for the bad news. I am sorry to inform you that your mother, Lucretia, died two days ago. She became severely ill and had no chance of surviving. We would have told you while she was still alive so you could come see her, but she forbade us from doing so. Right before she died, she said that she accepted you and your newly found love with all her heart and gave you her dying blessings. You are welcome to come down to see her one last time before she is cremated.

Sincerely,
Grandfather Satan

I read the letter once more to make sure there was no mistake. My heart, the only thing that made me even remotely have human feelings, was aching in pain and remorse. Dead. My mother was dead. And the last time I saw her I turned my back on her. Now she's gone.

I crumpled up the letter in my hand and made it burst in flames as I threw it angrily at the wall. Demons aren't supposed to die. But my mother did. I put my head down on my desk and did everything in my power to prevent myself from crying.

Awwwww. Wasn't that sad? Sebastian's mom dying was the plot bunnie. Now it can go away. I hope you enjoyed it!

Ciel: Might I ask what that is up there? *points to photo link above*

Me: Oh, isn't it lovely?

Ciel: Tequila laced with catnip? Really?

Me: Yep.

Ciel: Dear god.

Sebastian: Yes?

Me: SWEET! Sebastian is a god now!

Ciel: Ugh.

Sebastian: *smiles*

Me: REVIEW TO SEE MORE MOOD SWINGS FROM CIEL!!!

BROWNIES AND BROWNIE POINTS: Inspired by YaoiSakka.

-Each chapter, you get to give a character a brownie and explain why they deserve it. (Ex. Sebastian gets a brownie for raping Ciel)

-You can split the brownie between multiple people. (Ex. Toshiro, Izuru, and Yumichika get part of a brownie for being pregnant)

-For every brownie a character gets, they get BROWNIE POINTS.

-Brownie points are given to a character when they get part of or a full brownie.

-This seems to be an issue so, ONLY GIVE ONE BROWNIE PER CHAPTER!!! Sorry, but I can't have someone giving one character a million brownies. That's waaaaaay too much.
