This takes place after season 2, so spoilers. Also they are pretty OOC. If ya don't like, turn back now!
Sebastian had just finished serving Ciel his 'tea.' Though you couldn't quite call it that now. It was just an empty cup that could only help Ciel bring back memories to how tea used to taste. It hasn't even been that long since Ciel became a demon, and Sebastian already lost how long it's been. Most likely because he's been distracted with how he's started having feelings towards his forever master. Yes, you heard correctly; Sebastian Michaelis, the thousand year old demon who has never felt anything but hunger, has actually grown feelings for his was-supposed-to-be 'meal.' It was really weird, even to him. At first he was confused and a little scared at the new feeling, but he soon grew accustomed to it, and just hid it from his master.
It's been getting harder to do that lately though. Every time he gets close to his master, or even looks at him, he always ends up looking at Ciel's lips, and getting caught up in his own fantasies. Even though he knew that it was impossible for Ciel to return his feelings. It always hurt him a little every time he realized that, over and over again. He still needed to hear it come from his master's own mouth to completely believe it. He finally decided he would sneakily ask him that night.
--Time Skip 'cause I can't give a damn--
Sebastian just finished dressing Ciel for bed and Ciel was just about to dismiss him when Sebastian spoke. "Master. May I ask you something?" Ciel looked at Sebastian. "OK." Sebastian resisted the urge to smile. "It's been awhile since you became a demon, and I was wondering if it's taken any affect on you." Ciel just gave a tired look of confusion at Sebastian. "What does that mean?" Sebastian took a single step closer to Ciel. "Like if you've lost all feeling, or gained a stronger sense of one." Sebastian tried to avoid looking hopeful. Luckily Ciel was too tired to notice anything of the sorts. "I never had any strong feelings in the first place. So why would I now? I need to sleep."
With that Ciel turned onto his side, away from Sebastian. Sebastian felt his heart (if he had one) shred into two. He hid his feelings even though Ciel wasn't looking at him, and instead bowed, and with a "Goodnight," blew out the candles and left the room. Sebastian put the candle holder on a table close to the door, and struggled to stay upright. He was only able to take a few steps down the hall, until he collapsed against the wall, and felt tears start to lightly pour from his face. Each one stung with his pain, and he could only try to hold back quiet sobs as he just sat with his eyes clenched up, biting his lip, leaning against the wall on his knees.
--To Ciel!--
Ciel woke to the slight sound of sobbing. Being a demon, his senses had heightened, so he could pick up small noises. He slowly sat up and listened closely. Who the heck would be sobbing in his empty manor, this late at night? He stood up and brushed his large nightshirt before walking to the door. He pressed his ear to the door, only to hear more quiet sobbing. He quietly opened the door and headed in the direction he heard the crying coming from. He didn't have to go far to find Sebastian in a heap against the wall, quietly trying to hold back sobs. Ciel almost felt his own heart shatter at the sight.
--And back to Sebastian!--
Sebastian couldn't help the searing tears that poured down his face and he sobbed quietly in the hall. Suddenly he felt a presence in front of him, but before he could even open his eyes, he felt a small pair of arms wrap around his head as someone pulled him into a small embrace. Sebastian opened his eyes only be able to see Ciel's nightshirt. Ciel? Sebastian just embraced Ciel's back as questions shot through his head. 'Why is he hugging me? I thought he didn't care. Am I not lovable because I'm a demon? If he doesn't care, why is he here?' Sebastian just cried while these questions kept him clenching to Ciel's large shirt.

"Sebastian." Ciel said just above a whisper. Sebastian was brought out of his thoughts slowly. "Yes, my lord?" Sebastian was almost scared to look up; worried that Ciel would just be looking at him with no emotions, something Sebastian couldn't see right now. He was usually able to keep himself so calm cool and collected, but right now was different. "Why are you crying?" Ciel slightly pulled back trying to look Sebastian in the eye. Sebastian just averted his gaze to the floor. Ciel let out a small sigh and knelled in front of Sebastian, and forced him to look into his eyes by holding Sebastian's head in his hands. "Sebastian, answer me." Ciel said it more like when someone asks a question than and order. Sebastian slightly calmed down when he saw that Ciel had no anger in his eyes, instead, he seemed kind of sad to see Sebastian crying.
"I-I was.. j-just hurt t-that, you said you c-couldn't feel any emotions." Sebastian did his best not to stutter when he talked, but it was hard with a few tears still dripping from his eyes. Ciel lightly smiled at Sebastian. "Sebastian. I thought you meant actual feeling. Like the hunger for souls that demons have. I didn't know you meant emotion." Sebastian's eyes slightly widened. Ciel just hugged his arms around Sebastian's neck. "I, still have emotions. A strong one too." Sebastian could tell Ciel's heart lightly sped up, while his started racing with hope and anticipation. "W-what emotion would that be, bocchan?" Sebastian was looking at the side of Ciel's head. Ciel once again slightly pulled away from the small hug they were sharing to look Sebastian in the eye. Their faces mere centimeters away from each other.
"Umm.. I-it's... love." Ciel blushed a deep crimson as he spoke the word. Sebastian's heart sped up more (if it could), and his eyes filled completely with hope. "Who is it that you love, bocchan?" Ciel blushed even deeper and hesitate before speaking. "Y-you." It was quiet, but they were so close that Sebastian was able to hear it perfectly. He smiled and leaned forward so that their lips met in a kind yet loving kiss. Ciel was shocked for a coupled seconds, but soon adjusted and kissed back as Sebastian wrapped his arms around Ciel's waist. After a few minutes of kissing, (I wonder how good they are at swimming?) they both pulled away. Ciel rested his head on Sebastian's warm chest, listening to his heart beat.
Sebastian lightly stroked Ciel's back lovingly. He held Ciel in his arms as he walked back to Ciel's room to put him back to bed. When Sebastian put Ciel down and tucked him under his blankets, he turned to leave. But Ciel held onto Sebastian's sleeve, making him look back down at the young boy. "Stay here tonight. Okay?" Sebastian smiled at the boy's request, and lifted the covers to allow himself to lay next to his bocchan. Sebastian wraps his arms around Ciel protectively as Ciel raps his arms around Sebastian to pull himself closer to Sebastian's warmth. "Sebastian. I love you." Ciel closes his eyes. Sebastian just smiles as he gives Ciel one more peck on the lips before closing his own eyes. "I love you too, Ciel."
