Black Hearts

Chapter 5

The man and the boy shook hands. Sebastian was excited. Although, a noble like him would never show it. Ciel was excited as well. But, a demon such as him would never show such an emotion.

"When do we leave?" Ciel asked, his eyes glowing. "Right now." Sebastian replied.

They got back at the manor at around midnight. Tanaka opened the door and lead them inside. "Tanaka, this is Ciel. He will be staying with us for awhile." Sebastian said, placing his hand on the boys shoulder. "It's nice to meet you, Tanaka." Ciel smiled, his eyes twinkling.

Tanaka bowed. "Please to meet you." He smiled. "Call miss Hopkins, we will need some clothes for Ciel." Sebastian said, holding Ciel's hand while going up the stairs. "Of course my lord." Tanaka bowed with his hand over his heart.

Sebastian took Ciel to his art room. "What do you think?" Sebastian asked, smiling at his work of art. "It looks like an elephant puked all over." Ciel bursted out laughing. Sebastian's smile quickly faded away. "What?" He asked.

Ciel laughed some more. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I just- it's horrible!" He continued to laugh. Sebastian looked hurt. All of that work of painting wasted.

After a few more laughs, Ciel finally calmed down. "Ok, ok, ok, I'm sorry. They aren't bad but they aren't good either." Ciel said. "What do you mean? What am I doing wrong?" Sebastian asked.

"You aren't putting any effort in it." Ciel smiled.

Why is he smiling? He just practically insulted me. Sebastian thought. But then, a thought struck Sebastian. "Ciel?" He asked. "What?" Ciel looked at him.

"May I paint a portrait of you?"
