Baby Steps
Chapter 2
It was about two in the afternoon when the Queen's letter arrived. Ciel was busy gazing out his window, taking a break from his paperwork when someone knocked on his door. He turned in his chair and leaned on his desk putting on a bored facade. It was awfully tedious to do so much work all day long-especially since he just recently started having trouble reading some of the words, so he had to piece together the sentences until they made sense.
That took about an hour or two which burned time, but around one o'clock, he finished his work and had just proceeded to gazing out the window daydreaming until Sebastian knocked, interrupting his thoughts.
"Enter."
"Pardon me, Young Master, but a letter arrived for you earlier this morning," Sebastian stated as he walked forward in his usual elegant stride and came to a stop in front of Ciel's desk and lowered the silver tray for Ciel to take the letter.
"Why I am I just now informed?" Ciel questioned,his annoyance peaked a notch more.
Sebastian bowed and stood up again." My apologies. With all the commotion, it had slipped my mind."
Ciel snorted. Sebastian is not one to just slip up; he has to perform his duties to the utmost perfection. He looked at the letter only to see the Queen's seal and was stunned. This is just what he was worried about.
"Young master?" Sebastian questioned. "Would you like me to read it to you?"
Ciel snapped out of his temporary stupor and gathered his wits. "Of course not- are you daft? I still know how to read." He grumbled the last bit.
Sebastian merely smirked, his ruby eyes framed by thick lashes, taunting Ciel as if daring him to take the letter.
Ciel and Sebastian had a staring match, willing the other to look away first.
"Tch." Ciel grabbed the letter and thumbed its waxy seal open and with a flick of his wrist the letter was released from its confinement.
His mismatched eyes scanned the letter quickly, eager to get it over with, but all the same dreading the impending doom that would determine his fate.
How does it determine his fate? By whether or not he has to face the Queen and be questioned as to how he is like he is.
Red eyes gazed at the blue haired boy with an indifferent look , pondering as to how Ciel will react.
Oh he knew of what the letter is pertaining to-after all, how does one not know of the most recent killings taking place in London.
He stood by his side still waiting, but it seemed his master was having trouble with the letter and Sebastian had an idea with what he was having trouble with.
"Young master, is there a problem?" He inquired because really was curious as to why it was taking a bit longer for Ciel to read the letter holding at least a small handful of words.
Ciel by now was turning a light shade of pink. His cheeks were heating up, as were the tips of his ears. He mumbled something knowing the demon could clearly hear him.
"What was that, Young Master? Pardon me, but I couldn't quite hear you."
Ciel gritted his teeth- he could feel his face heating up even more due to his chagrin. That insipid demon! He actually has the gall to try and make a fool of me!
"You know very well what I said! Stop joking!" For such a small boy, he still had authority, albeit it still sounded a bit less forceful as he would have wanted it to be but that was to be expected.
Sebastian merely smirked, having been used to Ciel's fits which only fueled Ciel's rage.
"My, my, such a temper for one so small. You would think such strong anger would overwhelm such a small body," Sebastian chided with a false smirk in place.
Ciel snarled which sounded much like a small dog would and glared at Sebastian with his small lips curled up in a sneer, a look that looked veryout of place on someone as small as Ciel.
Sebastian sighed. "Very well. If you would hand me the letter." He took his glove-covered hand and plucked the letter from Ciel's with nimble fingers and briefly scanned the letter.
"What was the point of asking for the letter if you were just going to take it anyway?" Ciel asked. Really what was the point?
"It is simply good manners for a butler such as myself," Sebastian stated without looking up from the letter to look at the speaker.
Ciel scowled at how easy Sebastian made it seem. He's rubbing it in.
Indeed he was. Sebastian had a smirk and when he finished the letter he met a blue eye and a covered eye that was glaring at him with taunting words.
"So, the Young Master could not even read such simple words." He sighed sadly (fake). "It seems the elixir is progressing instead of simply pausing you at a certain age. Tsk, tsk, we have a problem on our hands. Who knows what will happen next? Perhaps you will not be able to use words correctly, or even how to eat or dress -Oh wait!" He turned and put a fake thinking facade on and placed a hand under his chin to complete the show.
"The Young Master already does not know how to dress himself," he continued without a pause, ignoring Ciel's indignant cry.
"So it might be forgetfulness of how to do the simplest things like how to open doors. If it keeps progressing at such an advance rate then soon enough, you might not be able to recognize me as your butler." Sebastian held a melancholy look plastered on his face.
"Enough, Sebastian! Stop making such silly charades and tell me what the Queen wrote."
Sebastian put his hands to his sides and bowed. "My apologies, Young Master." He looked up and stood up straight.
So much like the young master to put a stop to my fun.
"It seems the letter is pertaining to the mysterious killings that has been happening around London. There has been no witness or any strange occurrences nor has there been a pattern. It seems like the killings have all been at random. The authorities all have hit dead ends-it seems that there is nothing peculiar about the victim's death other than the fact that the murders were messy."
Ciel leaned back in his plush chair-its squeaky leather protesting softly. "Messy as in how?" He inquired.
"Well to simply put it, it's as if someone wanted to paint the walls with their blood for a creative picture." Sebastian eyes turned a shade darker with a bit of demonic power making it glow dully.
Ciel clucked softly and stood up from his chair and walked to the huge window that was situated directly in front of his desk where sunlight was streaming in, lighting the room brightly despite the dark atmosphere.
Sebastian eyed him. He was still so small and if his eyes did not deceive him, Ciel was steadily getting smaller. I'll let him figure that out on his own.
"Sebastian, prepare the carriage, we are setting off to the last place where the last victim was murdered."
He turned and faced Sebastian with a determine eye- his other one was covered by the silk eye patch.
"By now the authorities have already gone over the site carefully." Sebastian knew exactly what the authorities were missing... He glanced at Ciel who was busy fixing his papers in a neat stack. They were missing suspects.
Ciel fixed the papers and came around the desk and stared at Sebastian, challenging him. "That may be so, but carelessness can also cause mistakes especially by ignorant people. But one can never be too careful, it would be foolish to do so," Ciel countered resuming the earlier debate.
The demon eyes narrowed slightly-unnoticeable to his master. He had one final hand to play.
Ciel walked towards the door and grasped the handle.
"But what would the people of London have to say to the child who claims to be the Earl Phantomhive? They would say you've gone mad and lock you away thus, giving me work on having to deal with it."
Ciel turned and pinned him a glare but Sebastian remained stoic.
"I don't see how it should be trouble for you, since you're in a contract with me and you should want to protect me; unless you want their harsh treatment they do at the asylum to damage my soul." Ciel knew he had him cornered from the annoyed look that flashed through the demon's eyes.
"How should I proceed then, my lord?" Sebastian asked because he really could see no other way around it all with Ciel being so small...
"You figure it out," Ciel ordered.
But Sebastian paid no attention for he was already immersed in thoughts with his brows slightly furrowed.
"Sebastian," Ciel started but was tuned out from said butler who turned away from him much to Ciel's annoyance.
In fact, Ciel is small enough to pass off as someone's child, but that would never work with his distinguish looks... Sebastian pondered more. But then again, no one would ever believe it to be probable for such a thing to exist to make Ciel so young. After all, most humans rather believe a lie for their own safety out of ignorance. He turned his head briefly and glanced at Ciel who was annoyed at being ignored, then looked away.
Except for one whose soul is pure yet it still holds all the tainted qualities which makes it the most... desirable. It makes every other soul look poor in quality. Red eyes glowed a devilish pink with demonic power before they dimmed to their normal ruby color.
Sebastian turned his whole body and faced Ciel. "Young master, do you recall Count Druitt's party?"
At Ciel's look of disgust, he knew he did. "Of course I do but what does that have to do with anything?"
Sebastian shook his head. Sometimes his master could be a bit dense at things.
" Just like that time,we will need to disguise you. All we need is to pass you off as an undistinguished child, which shouldn't be too hard… unless you have any protest?" Sebastian had a glint his eyes that made Ciel a bit apprehensive.
He thought through the plan hoping to find a flaw but to no avail.
Ahh, but wait...
"How exactly do you explain why a child is by himself at a murder scene?" Ciel deadpanned.
"That's where I come in. You will be the child of my younger sister who is away at foreign country for a doctor's expertise. You are merely staying with me, your doting Uncle."
"Are you completely mad? That would be too risky! We look nothing alike! How did you even come up with something as idiotic as that?" Ciel was huffing-his small chest heaving.
My young master is every bit the child he claims not to be, Sebastian mused.
"Is there any other reason for your reluctance to do this , other than your embarrassment?" Sebastian asked as he watched Ciel's reaction carefully.
Ciel glared up at Sebastian from his spot a short distance away from Sebastian. "Of course there is, it is too risky! What would people say if they find out the truth of who I really am and that you're not really my Uncle? They already know you're my butler. Then they'll wonder what happen to me?How would we explain that without revealing who you are?
Sebastian smirked and leaned down to Ciel. "Don't worry. They won't find out. I will be disguised as well." He briefly let his eyes flash until he leaned away. "I do see your point, but there really is no other option."
Sebastian ignored Ciel's cry of outrage as he stomped to his chair and slammed himself a bit too hard on it, wincing from doing so.
"Really, young master, you're acting very childish," Sebastian chided mockingly.
Ciel merely huffed.
Sebastian hoped that the elixir does not progress any further, as Ciel was getting to be a bit of a nuisance. It was fun at first, seeing him so small and weak, but now his childish side was really beginning to show through. He could not even remember the last time he held this kind of irritation for his young master... Besides the night of Ciel's transformation... He trailed off in his thoughts.
"Aren't you going to fetch me my clothes?" Ciel stated though he sounded far away due to Sebastian's wandering mind.
"Sebastian!"
Said demon scowled before placing a tight smile on and bowed as to not to let it show. "Yes, my lord." With that being said, Sebastian quietly left the room with a soft click of the door, which resounded, through the silent room.
After Sebastian made his way to his master's room he pondered on his thoughts only a demon could hold.
Hmm, since that night there has been no lingering feelings, so it is for certain there is no need to worry about such annoying thoughts such as emotions. It was not normal for a demon of his rank to feel such things, like fondness. It was unheard of. He put all of fond thoughts of Ciel out of his mind for the moment and walked on to complete the task Ciel told him to do.
When Sebastian came to the bedroom he walked right into the bright room and made his way immediately to the wardrobe that was situated in the corner of the room making the room seem even spacier. He threw open the doors to the wardrobe and flipped though his plethora amount of clothes Ciel seemed to own and searched for Ciel's less decent clothes. The wardrobe itself was a bit larger than normal wardrobes-made for two people instead of one, though he knew Ciel didn't care about such things.
Sebastian was in the room a bit longer than usual so he was now starting to catch little whiffs of a scent that could only belong to one person who resides in here to sleep for the night.
Sebastian was getting annoyed with the scent that seemed to wrap around his being. Usually he had no qualms about it for his scent was always mixed in with Ciel's, warding off any other demons. (It doesn't work) He blocked that scent for the time being until he was out of the room
Moments later, he was still flipping through the clothes when he heard a shriek and a crash of dishes in the distance which made him pause and wonder what mess he would have to clean up later.
He continued browsing through the clothes, his slim muscles flexing slightly with every movement until he finally found what he was looking for in the very back. Hmm… it seemed Ciel tried to hide them. Plain brown shorts and a white shirt with a medical bandage for his eye would do just fine. The problem was, how to make them fit. He would have to make some alterations himself. Just more work, but doable.
Quickly making the necessary alterations based off of Ciel's current height, so the clothes would fit his now small young master, Sebastian then folded them neatly and placed them on the bed and went to fetch his master, before the intoxicating scent of Ciel annoys him further.
He went back to the study and knocked and waited for an answer.
...
...
No answer, so he went in and was surprised to see Ciel, sitting in his chair with his head on the desk, snoring slightly like a small child's snore.
Sebastian smirked and checked the time. 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I guess even childish Earls need their naps.
He was tempted to leave him, but he knew he would get chastised later for it so he decided against letting him sleep. The demon walked towards the desk in quiet steps and stood by Ciel.
"Young master, wake up," Sebastian tried to rouse him but to no avail. Strange. Usually Ciel woke up from the simplest sounds. So Sebastian lightly touched him and was surprised when his hand got smacked.
He glanced down to see Ciel glaring at him with sleep filled eyes before they realized who the owner of the hand was. "Sebastian?"
"I prepared the clothes like you asked," Sebastian coolly stated.
"Ahh, the clothes." Ciel stretched and got up from his warm spot and walked towards the door and called over his shoulder, "Come along then." And he left the room.
Sebastian merely followed without a twitch in his neutral expression.
Sebastian followed Ciel through the halls passing Mey-rin who bowed at his young master who in return offered a polite hello and such before they continued on their way until they came to the scent cloaked room of Ciel's.
Ciel walked right in, as did Sebastian and stood still to let Sebastian do his job as his butler.
Sebastian got down on his knees to reach Ciel's low height and proceeded to undo all of his buttons one by one with swift nimble fingers while Ciel looked down in feign indifference, but inwardly, he really was amazed at how proficient his butler was at tackling buttons. He slipped his silk shirt off and folded it and placed it on the ground away from Ciel's feet so it would not get rumpled by his feet on accident, after all children are rather clumsy.
Next he undid Ciel's blue shorts and slid them down his small birdlike legs and folded them as well and placed them on top of the bed.
"Sit down on the bed, if you please, young master." Sebastian stated while directing his eyes elsewhere away from Ciel's nude body, which confused Ciel, but he did so nonetheless.
He walked towards the bed and sat down and waited for Sebastian to take off his stockings and garters.
And so he did. He then grabbed Ciel's less than decent clothes and started dressing him after directing Ciel to stand up again.
He slipped the shirt over his shoulders and pulled an arm through it designated arm place and buttoned each button in its respected hole all while not touching Ciel's skin.
Sebastian then grabbed the brown shorts and placed a leg through each hole while keeping a hand behind Ciel without touching his skin but having it there just as a precaution.
He then tucked his shirt in the shorts and finally buttoned them. He was finally dressed after he slid his small feet in socks and shoes that went with the outfit.
He was fixing the small, simple white tie that went around the neck when Ciel got his attention. "Sebastian."
Said butler glanced up at Ciel's face. He finally noticed what was out of place- it was the black silk patch that went around Ciel's head and covered his eye to prevent their contract from being shown. He glanced back at the bed and grabbed the medical patch that was slipping off the sheets and with one hand slid off the black one, letting it fall to the ground with a soft plop. He tied the patch around his head making sure it was situated and then he stood up. Ciel was fully dressed.
He stood up and bowed. "When you're ready, my lord." With that he left to prepare the carriage.
Just a few minutes later, Ciel and Sebastian set off for the streets of London.
Sebastian quickly found the scene due to all the gossip of the town's people and headed for it. The streets of London were filthy in some parts and in others it was relatively cleaner but still a dirty. There was grime everywhere and kids running either from other kids or from adults who chasing after them for stealing some food or something or other.
Sebastian told the driver to stop when he spotted a large group of people who were still lingering around the sight but there were no authorities. Strange.
Sebastian climbed off and was started walking off until Ciel's shout of anger stopped him. He turned only to see him climbing down carefully for the carriage was really high due to his short statue. "You're going to leave me here?"
"Of course, my lord. Though you may be in disguise, even some people would find it peculiar as to why a child looks almost identical to the Queen's guard dog. So it is best if you stay in the carriage," Sebastian reasoned.
Ciel scowled but stayed back nonetheless. "If one of the street children should happen to try to rob the carriage it will fall on your head, Sebastian."
Sebastian merely chuckled. "But of course, even if we are still in plain sight and I'm in eye distance will a child try to do such a thing," he mocked.
Blue eyes narrowed. "You're getting a bit of a tongue, Sebastian. Don't forget I am still the holder of the contract and your master."
"Yes, my lord." Ciel watched his butler walk off in the middle the crowd immersing himself in it losing Ciel's watchful stare.
A few minutes passed and the crowd slowly dwindled out, leaving only a handful of people.
It wasn't long before a few minutes turned into thirty minutes.
What is keeping him? He never takes that long to get the job done so why is he starting now? Ciel thought.
He kept watching at the handful of people until he finally spotted Sebastian, which calmed him slightly until he saw exactly what was holding his attention.
A woman. A beautiful woman at that. Ciel scowled at his own traitorous thoughts.
But try as he might, he could not deny the woman her beauty with her black hair piled up in a bun looking elegant and a pale complexion without any wrinkles.
Even from afar, Ciel could see her dress was made to emphasize her figure. Her behemoth breasts almost spilled out and from that Ciel knew she was a prostitute because no one even in the slums of London wore clothing like that unless you were one. Since only decent women covered every inch of skin.
He scowled as the woman pressed a hand lightly against his butler's chest and that scowl turned into a glared when he allowed it.
Ciel sighed and looked away waiting for Sebastian to notice the amount of people coming out of the small corner of the city. After a few more moments he glanced back and nearly growled in anger. The woman had taken a bolder move and was pressing against Sebastian and even still he allowed it.
Ciel formulated a plan in his mind, which made perfect sense in his now turning childlike mind. He chucked harshly sounding very unlike the child he looked like.
He opened the door and climbed down-almost tripping on the step and hopped down and got himself ready for his act. He pinched his cheeks like he seen all mothers do to their children and mussed his hair a bit and climbed up to look at his reflection using the carriage window. He deemed himself ready.
He looked back one more time at Sebastian to see the woman and Sebastian leaning in and with a burst of anger he started running.
...
He started running in a childlike speed, which was fairly slow, his little feet enclosed in shoes kicking up little pebbles- his tie came unloose which made him scowl.
Cheap clothing.
And when he was within hearing range of Sebastian he sucked in a huge lungful of air that made his cheeks flush even more and his small chest expand as he yelled as loud as he could…
"Papa!"
...
That made Sebastian look at Ciel with momentarily surprise that he hid quickly. The woman was shocked to see a small child running towards them- no the man she was currently talking to. She scowled before she schooled her features.
Ciel launched himself at Sebastian- hoping the idiot would catch him and not let him hit the ground ruining his act, but to his pleasure Sebastian crouched low and caught him when Ciel collided with his hard chest.
Ciel's laughed in glee (fake) and said in a childish voice, which given his bodily changes fit quite well. "Papa, what is taking so long?" He pouted while inside he was planning Sebastian's death for driving him to do this. However, there was a certain satisfaction with humiliating his butler.
Sebastian understood the act Ciel was putting on, after all it's what they had talked about him doing, but he wasn't sure exactly why he decided to show up now.
"Hello, Ciel. I was simply talking to this woman, her name is Marie." He gestured to her with a hand and smiled at her, which she returned after getting over the initial shock. Ciel scowled, but quickly recovered when Sebastian faced him.
"Oh. Hello, I'm Ciel and you met my Papa already," he said to her and smiled brightly at her which she returned a bit tightly.
"Hello, Ciel. I didn't know your father had a son." She looked at Sebastian and directed her next statement, well more of a question. "Your wife is very lucky to have a husband as handsome as you," she stated a bit sadly.
Sebastian smiled charmingly and shifted Ciel much to his displeasure to his hip instead of letting him cling to his front. "I have no wife." At Marie's questioning look, he continued. "She passed away at child birth." He faked a sad look.
"Oh, you poor thing~" She cooed and placed an arm on his shoulder much too close for Ciel's comfort. Ciel shifted uncomfortably which made her notice him again.
"Why don't you go back to the carriage and let me comfort your father? You will know where he is, my living quarters are right over there." She pointed a few feet away from where they were standing. It was a bit shabby looking, but one of the better looking adobes.
Sebastian turned his red eyes at her, making her blush. "If you don't mind, sir," she stammered at Sebastian's smoldering gaze.
Ciel did not like it one bit and scowled before sighing mentally at having to act again. It really was tiring.
"But Papa~" he pouted, which made Sebastian look at him again much to the woman's displeasure and while his attention was on Ciel, she glared at him, which Ciel smirked in victory. Or so he thought.
"Ciel, why don't you go back to the carriage and I'll go in there for a few minutes. OK?" It was Marie's turn to gloat in victory.
Sebastian bent down lowly to let him down gently, (He better) and pushed him lightly towards the direction of the carriage and stood up straight.
"I'll be back in a bit, Ciel." And to Ciel's anger he took the woman's hand and starting leading her in the direction of her house.
One last plan to play out, he will not loose his demon butler to that woman.
He gathered all his wits and threw them out the window. Sebastian made him a child, so he will have to deal with a child. (This is the hell he was talking about)
"Papa~ S-stop!" Ciel was mentally chastising himself at his behavior, but on the other hand, torturing Sebastian was a bit fun.
Sebastian looked back pondering why Ciel was acting this way. He never had any qualms as to his methods of getting information.
Ciel ran over to him and grabbed hold of his sleeve and held fast. "Ciel, let go."
If Ciel could cry he would have, to add to the effect, but he hadn't done such a thing in years, and didn't think himself capable of it. But much to his embarrassment, a few tears started to leak out.
He blamed it solely on the elixir his butler gave him, triggering his tear ducts easier. "No!"
Sebastian sighed and bent down and picked him up as Ciel turned his head to face the other way… away from prying eyes as he mentally cursed himself.
The butler threw an apologetic look at Marie. "I'm sorry, my son has never acted this way. But I have to be going now, maybe some other time."
"Oh. No problem. I can't understand children, never have, which is why I don't want any," Marie smiled, annoyed.
"Well, I'll be off. Come on, Ciel." Sebastian walked off, careful not to bump Ciel around too much.
The woman waved him off and scowled at the child who still had his head turned.
That is until he turned towards her and looked right at her. He smirked at her, which made her narrow her eyes. That brat!
Ciel merely smirked once more before turning his head into Sebastian's neck, though not burying his head in the curve of his neck like any normal child would. He merely laid his head on the shoulder with a smirk on his seemingly angelic face.
After Ciel was helped into the carriage he prepared himself for a silent ride back to the mansion where he would be able to change out of his filthy clothes that clung to his little body, which made him itch a bit.
As soon as the carriage was rolling, Sebastian stared at Ciel.
Moments passed until Ciel got tired of Sebastian's scrutinizing stare and finally snapped. "What is it?" He felt uncomfortable being under Sebastian's watchful stare, it was a bit unnerving as if he was showing the secrets of himself and Sebastian was seeing them all.
"Young master, I didn't know I have a son..." At Ciel's deadpanned looked he sighed. "What caused you to act that way?" Sebastian had thought about it and it didn't take long for an idea to form, but he wanted to hear Ciel confirm it and not just be shy about it, edging around the corners then jumping away as a timid creature would.
Ciel was not one to play dumb so he would not fake ignorance, but that didn't mean there was not another way around it. "Sebastian, what did you find out about the murders?" No, he would simply avoid the question for the time being.
Sebastian knew what he was doing, but decided to humor him, after all, what kind of butler would he be if could not even do that for his master?
"Well according to some people there has been talk involving a few people, but I quickly dismissed it seeing as it was merely gossip from a bunch of old women who would like nothing better to do than start rumors. Then I caught something interesting involving Marie." Ciel winced a bit and Sebastian continued, ignoring it. "Apparently, after she was done with her nightly clients she swore she saw someone scampering around the corners around midnight the night the murder took place."
Ciel forgot all about Marie and focused his attention on what Sebastian what saying. "So what did the person look like?" He leaned forward.
"That's what I was going to find out seeing as she was a bit apprehensive about giving out that piece of information, but you complicated things." Sebastian gazed at him blankly.
"So, young master. Are you going to answer my question?" He inquired while leaning back a bit against the seat.
Ciel stayed quiet so Sebastian decided to take a guess. "Were you weary of waiting?"
No answer.
So he tried again. "Were you hungry, after all children get hungry more easily?"
Ciel scowled, but still didn't answer and promptly turned and gazed out of the carriage window. Never mind the fact that he was hungry.
Sebastian tried once more. "Were you perhaps a bit jealous?" He teased.
Ciel snapped his head and glared. "No! What would give you that foolish idea?"
In the background, the rocking sound of the carriage and thundering footsteps of the horses seemed very loud right now. The sky was bright with the full moon hanging lowly, illuminating the night sky, which was littered with millions of stars. It would have been a peaceful night to anyone. Anyone but the people inside the carriage.
One was amused and the smaller was irritated.
"It was merely a suggestion, since it is understandable for children to become possessive of things they consider theirs." Sebastian was actually enjoying taunting Ciel watching in amusement as the emotions flittered across his small face.
Ciel scowled and sneered. "You are mine until the day I die and leave this rotten world and until the very day you take my soul, you are still mine to own." He snorted. "Even if you would have become that woman's plaything for the time being you would have eventually returned because I am the holder of the contract and I own everything on you down to the very fine hair that sits atop of your head."
Sebastian had a mask of indifference. "Yes, my lord."
Not long after that, Ciel fell asleep. Sebastian scowled at the small child and turned away from his sleeping face. Who would of thought such a small child would harbor such feelings of possessiveness? But that's what tainted his delicious soul even more than it already was all the while keeping its pure quality. He turned and gazed at his young master. When he was asleep all the scowls and scrunched up brows faded away into smooth plains of milky skin.
Sebastian pulled a glove off with his teeth and raised a hand to touch Ciel's cheek lightly with the back of his hand.
You're forgetting, young master, you are also mine to own to the very day that your crowns rust and your thrown crumbles. I will be there to snatch you up and take my prize.
Ciel mumbled under his breath and nuzzled Sebastian's hand briefly which made him pull the appendage back quickly in shock. He quickly put his glove back on; less Ciel woke up and found out what he was doing.
He narrowed his eyes at Ciel for causing such a disturbance to his inner thoughts. How easy it would be just to quickly kill him in his sleep.
Sebastian slid forward and flared his demonic powers, which made his eyes glow, and leaned in with his newly sharpened canines. He was so close; he could smell Ciel's scent. His breath hit Ciel's neck rebounding into his opened mouth.
Ciel grunted slightly in annoyance. "Sebastian." And promptly scooted to the warmth that was hitting him.
Sebastian recoiled and fixed his appearance. He glanced back at the child who was now curled up a bit against the door of the carriage.
Sebastian tsked and opted to stare out the window to look at the darkness, rolling passed them. Who would think that a brat who can't even dress himself cause such compromising situations for a demon? He glanced once more at Ciel and sighed.
I had a fun ass time writing this, especially the part where Ciel made himself all adorable and shit! Umpf! I could just squeeze him!
Just picture it, a adorable small Ciel, all helpless (without Sebastian) Just running- Oh and even almost tripping a little because he is so small. Man, that just makes me squeal for his cuteness~!
Ooh lala~ (purr) Sebastian was going to get all hot and heavy with Marie but Ciel went and ruined his fun. -sigh- Well all know what was really going to be going through his mind~ (hint hint)
Ok, I'm done ranting about this.

And I realize I am shamelessly advertising for my other story but still, go and read it.
