Chapter 5
I don't own Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji.
"My lord..."
Sebastian couldn't seem to say anything else. Who could blame him? I'd just basically confessed! Except I didn't say his name, though it should have been obvious.
Suddenly, before I could register the movement, I found myself pinned to the mattress with a smirking Sebastian on top of me.
"What are you-"
"It's me, is it not?" he spoke, silencing me. On any other day, in any other situation, I'd have yelled at him for interrupting. This time, all I could do was stay silent.
He seemed to take my silence as a yes, and he leaned down to whisper into my ear.
"You are lucky, my lord. Most of the time, if a human falls for a demon, we demons would take advantage of their feelings for us" he whispered, and as he finished speaking he licked the shell of my ear, making me shudder.
"However, in the rare case that the demon returns those emotions, we do anything and everything in our power to make our love happy, in the hopes..." he stopped himself, and lifted himself up. He still was sitting on me, but his face wasn't nearly as close. He stared straight ahead, not wanting to look at me.
"In the hopes what?" I asked softly. He sighed, looking down at me with a tender gaze.
"In the hopes that our love will agree to become a demon, to live in hell for all eternity alongside the demon they fell for, as their eternal mate"
He looked away then, seeming slightly sad.
"However most of the time, the human will refuse the demon. They don't want to live an eternal life in hell, they don't want to make the sacrifice. That is why demons created the ruse that we cannot love, so that no human would ever confess to us, only to rip away our happiness"
He looked down at me again, tears in his eyes.
"I am going to hope beyond all hope that you will say yes to this question... Ciel Phantomhive, would you spend an eternity with me in hell, and give up your mortal life, to become a demon, and my eternal mate?"
I could tell he didn't expect my response.
"Of course I will"
