"Ciel, Ciel I love you, please never forget that as long as you can." Ciel closed his eyes and let the words flow through his head like a river of sweet amber honey. He gently closed his tiny hands around the large ones that had hold of him so tightly and finally opened his eyes.

"That's all I have been wanting to hear Sebastian. Thank you for finally saying it." Ciel gave Sebastian a rare smile and looked at the Demon with teary eyes. Sebastian, finally with a clear image, knew what he needed to do to continue making his Lover happy. Wrapping his arms around the tiny bluenette he picked the earl up and walked him to the bathroom. Setting him down he tenderly started to remove the little Lords clothes.

"I shall run you a hot bath my Love. It will relax you after all the stress I have put you under. And for that, I am deeply sorry. My job, not only as your loyal Butler, but as your new Lover is to make sure you are happy and stress free. And I have failed you. Please, if you can, forgive me Ciel."

Ciel could do nothing against the Demon in front of him who was killing him with sweet words and tender touches as his clothing was removed. Ciel couldn't fathom why Sebastian would even think that he could hold hatred or anger towards him at this moment. He was giving him everything he wanted; closeness, touching, his name and sweet words that would give his own candy line a run for its money.

"Sebastian you must be daft! Why on earth would I not forgive you? All you have done, since the beginning was please me. As my Butler in Black and now as my Lover. I was just being a fool and allowing my brain to over think. I couldn't, no, no that's not right, I wouldn't separate my feelings from work and pleasure. I was mixing them and making things complicated. And I forced you to do something that was not necessary."

Ciel rattled on with his own version of an apology, or so that's what Sebastian was going to take it as. He finished removing the clothes from the Young Lord and then ran the bath water. Leaving Ciel to stand there, naked as the day they met, while the hot water was collecting.

Being a little more than irritated Ciel watched his Lover work meticulously to get the bath set up to his liking.

"Sebastian, why are you just now doing this? Shouldn't you have run the bath first and then undressed me?" Confused, cold and slightly shy about the fact that he is standing in front of Sebastian completely naked, he waited for a reply.

"Of course my Young Lord, it is so I can see all of you bared for my eyes, and my eyes alone." Sebastian gave a smirk knowing he ticked all the boxes of setting of the little earls triggers. He turned his head and stared at him, his eyes glowing red with his demon power as he again spoke, this time all of his emotion focused on Ciel. "If I couldn't stare at my Lover naked then what kind of Partner would I be?"

The Next Morning...

Ciel sat at his desk looking through his paper as he normally did, looking for any news on recent events and trying to get ahead on possible problems the Queen might ask him to solve. As the Guard Dog of the Underworld it was his job to rid the world of all the less than desirable people in the world. And by the Queens order he had ultimate immunity to do whatever he needed to with out lawful repercussion. Having that, and a Demon at his disposal made his job rather easy.

Just as he was about to put down the paper Sebastian walked in with the trolley cart filled with all the usual things for his morning tea. As he saw the tall man walk into the room he felt a heat rush to his cheeks as a small smile appeared. Ciel had never really felt happiness, not since that fateful night on his birthday, but he believed that if he could ever claim to feel that again it was with Sebastian.

Sebastian walked over pushing the trolley and saddled up to the desk and started to pour the tea and place dishes on the desk for Ciel to pick at as he wished.

"Good morning Kitten, I have a peppermint tea for you that goes well with the raspberry and cream tart for your breakfast. Today you have Dance lessons and then later after lunch I have set up a carriage for you to travel to Mr. Garrison's shoppe. The day is yours to do with beyond that."

Sebastian stepped away from the cart and moved to stand beside the Lord in his chair. Before Ciel was able to say anything Sebastian leaned down and grasped the boys chin and lifted his head so he could capture the lips of his Lover. Delivering a kiss that would shatter worlds. Sebastian let his tongue slip from his mouth to trace the boys bottom lip before forcing its way in and curling around the earls tongue. Engaging in a dangerous and erotic dance of power over the kiss.

Ciel never had a chance to fight or try and take over before Sebastian moved away and giving a low growl of satisfaction. The Demon licked his lips and purred softly.

"Kitten you taste better than ever this morning. I could just eat you alive." Sebastian knew his statement held irony but loved the look of sheer glazed passion that covered the Little Lords face. Ciel's visible eye was half lidded, lust covering his features. Sebastian had to hold himself back from taking him then and there on the desk. Lifting the boy from his chair and placing him on the desk, ripping off the flimsy shorts that covered his Lovers member. kneeling down in front of him and...

Sebastian snapped from his day dream and noticed that Ciel was staring at him, no, not at him but at his waist. Among all of his dreaming Sebastian had aroused himself and it was obviously visible to the Lord.

"Sebastian, I'm glad you are happy to see me." He gave another quick knowing glance down at his waist line before making eye contact once more. "Is there anything else you wish to tell me before I eat my breakfast?"

Sebastian cleared his throat but shook his head and stood un-moving by the Earls chair. "No Kitten, nothing more. Please enjoy your food, I will take my leave if you don't require anything else. I'm sure those three have already made a mess of things and put me behind schedule again."

Waving off his Butler Ciel turned back in his chair and picked up his tie cup and sipped at it. He carefully watched as Sebastian bowed slightly and then walked from the room, gently closing the doors behind him. When Ciel was sure Sebastian was out of ear shot he burst into a giggle fit and lounged back in his chair. He couldn't believe how quickly things fell back into place after their talk last night. He thought again, if he could ever claim to know happiness again, it was with Sebastian at his side.
