Every Demon's Curse (Sebastian x Ciel | SebaCiel)

A Demon's Pain

"How long will she stay?" Ciel asked.

"It wasn't stated, my lord." Sebastian said, scanning the telegram.

"And here was I thinking I could spend the rest of the day with my adorable bocchan..." the demon feighned a sigh, earning a snort from the bluenette.

"As if you don't spend enough time with me. You hardly leave my side." Said the earl. Sebastian smirked, pinching Ciel's small button nose making the boy yelp.

"You'd be surprised how much I badly needed to be by your side all the time." He stated, expecting a blush to blanket across the boy's cheeks, which the earl granted unconsciously with a loud huff.

"And how I'm dying to hear you say 'I love you'.." The demon added in a slow whisper, making Ciel's heartbeat skip a tad or two.

Ciel hated how Sebastian rendered him speechless. But he can't deny the fact that his butler's blunt proclamations of affection sends warm and giddy sensations to his chest. He hates yet loves what he has become because of that demon.

A few hours later when a carriage stopped in front of the large manor, came running out of it was the young blond lady who immediately tackled the awaiting earl of the manor.

To say that Sebastian was iritated is an understatement. The man was furious... Seeing his precious Ciel get cuddled by the ball of pink and frills that was Elizabeth made him grit his teeth behind his welcoming smile.

"I wanted to apologize for acting so immaturely! That was in no aspect correct at all. Will you forgive me?" Lizzy pleaded, unaware of a certain someone's burning gaze towards the way she firmly held Ciel hands against her gloved ones.

"It was all behind me, Elizabeth."

"Really? Then would you accompany me to my parents' ball tomorrow evening?"

"A ball?" Lizzy nodded enthusiastically in response.

"Hmmm. I don't see why not." The young earl said. Making the lass squeal with joy, wrapping her arms around the boy's neck. An awkward hand patted the lady's back as Ciel made eye-contact with his clearly annoyed butler.

Something tells him that an impending trouble was about to happen tomorrow evening...

***

Slate locks hovering above the silk black eyepatch were blown away with a harsh huff from the clearly annoyed boy. To be invited to a ball that he forced himself to attend to was something, to be in between two clashing stones that are Sebastian and Elizabeth was another...

"Would you like to dance, my lord?" Sebastian asked all of a sudden, as if on cue, his cheeks instantly felt warm along with his erratic heart beating.

"T-that's preposterous! Think about what will they think of me!" The young boy yelled, still blushing madly. Sebastian simply cannot suppress an impending laughter which made the boy's eye narrow.

"I meant, dance with 'them', master." The demon slyly mused, gesturing towards the young ladies dressed in their grandiose ball gowns, batting eyelashes towards the fine specimen that is Ciel. Sebastian leaned in close enough to whisper lowly into his master's ear, hot breath sending shivers to the bluenette.
