Black Butler: Mating Season (sebaciel, boyxboy)

XXII. Butler x Master, Separated

In the eyes of... Sebastian Michaelis

.

.

It had been a day since we'd found the blood room. It was the same kind of blood I found at Howard's party before. Children's blood. No doubt about it. It was clear that Howard was behind this. Could my master be right? Was Howard really a vampire? For now, it didn't matter. What had to be done was to find Howard and confront him with what we'd found. He'll confess and my master will choose a way to bring him to justice. Then the case was solved and we could return home.

I had gone out to get my master some breakfast. After quickly cooking something up in the hotel kitchen, I returned to him.

I opened the hotel room and what I found nearly brought me to my knees.

Ciel was sat on the bed in his sleepshirt. He was wearing cat ears on his head and in his lap lay a black little kitten.

"What-" I couldn't believe my eyes.

"Welcome back." Ciel blushed.

I smiled and almost ran up to him. I petted the cat shortly but soon returned to look at Ciel. He looked adorable with cat ears. Completely irresistible. I supposed that was the point. Then I looked again and noticed he was even wearing a cat tail!

"That is s-so cute!" I fawned uncontrollably.

Ciel picked up the cat and threw it on the bed somewhere. It meowed sleepily.

"I thought you were allergic to cats."

"This one is hypoallergenic." He said.

I thought it was impossible for Ciel to get cuter than he normally was but of course not.

Ciel grabbed my shirt and pulled me onto the bed.

His eyes got serious and he leaned in to kiss me.

With the way he looked right now.. I was unable to stop myself and kissed him back.

I ran my hands over his body and pulled his adorable tail.

My body tingled and I felt a joy I had not felt in a long time.

Our kiss quickly intensified and I knew that if I didn't stop now, I would do something I may regret later.

"Ciel." I said as I pulled away.

"Sebastian !" He whined.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

"So you say." Ciel crossed his arms.

"What? Do you think I enjoy keeping you at a distance when all I want to do is be close to you? I'm doing this for your sake!"

"That's what you keep saying but I don't believe you! You're scared because I make you feel something. And you're a demon and you're not supposed to feel this way! That's why you won't sleep with me. You're a coward!" Ciel screamed.

He got up from the bed and walked out of the room.

That wasn't true! Of course I wasn't scared!

..Right?

In the eyes of... Ciel Phantomhive

.

I hated him! Why couldn't he just give in to what he felt? I knew I wasn't the only one that felt this way! At this point I didn't care about my pride anymore. All I wanted was to be with him. And that was the honest truth. But I may not ever get to be with him because I'll be dead by the time he finally admits how he feels.

I walked through the hotel barefoot. I just needed to get outside for a moment. Clear my mind. I opened the doors to the elevator and stepped inside.

I closed the elevator doors and it began to move up to the first floor.

"Hello, cat." A brittle old voice spoke from behind me. I turned around and saw a man in dark clothing standing in the corner. He was very tall and thin, had long black hair and I couldn't see his face because of the large black hat he had on.

"H-hello." I answered. He seemed to have come out of nowhere.. or maybe I just didn't see him before. He definitely looked a lot younger than he sounded. He sounded like an old man. He looked no older than twenty-five.

"Why are you so upset?" He asked.

"It's nothing. I had an argument.. with my.. father." I settled for that.

"Now, now. It is not good to fight with your parents, boy. Your father is only trying to protect you, I'm sure." The man chuckled.

I nodded. There was something really strange about this man. I felt uneasy. 

The elevator had almost reached the ground floor.

"A child like you can't protect himself just yet. That is the beauty of youth, boy." The man continued on.

Something about the way he said that really made me uncomfortable. I was relieved when we'd reached the first floor.

I was ready to walk out when the strange man stopped me by grabbing my shoulder.

I looked up at him and could finally see his eyes. Just like the paintings and the receptionist, mat and blank. Though his eyes were an unnatural black color. It was scary.

I immediately tried to run but the man held me tightly. I opened my mouth to scream but he covered it quickly. I breathed in something that smelled strange. I felt myself get light-headed.

"You're coming with me." He spoke.

He opened a hidden door to his left and we disappeared into the darkness.
