Scarlet Temptation (Ciel x Sebastian) (Sebaciel)

Research

   Ciel's POV

   Once my Butler left the room, I sighed and fell back onto my back. Rubbing my eyes, I smiled. I actually smiled. My Butler had just said the words that I had wanted to hear for ages, but why did I feel so... melancholy? Was it because I was tired? No, that wasn't it.

   Standing up, I brushed myself down and headed towards the library. Each step I took made the seconds seem longer. When I had reached the library, I unlocked the door and stepped in, closing it behind me. Sighing, I made my way to the centre. I traced my finger along the book spines until I stopped on large, leather bound history book. I read the title;

   Demons

   I opened it to the first page and read the contents. Food, transformations... emotions. I turned to the page on emotions and began to read it. Sitting down on an armchair, I quietly read out the words.

   "A demon has no feelings." I felt my heart crack slightly at the thought of him lying to me. I carried on, "From the moment they are born, they put on a smile for everyone they see, unless, of course, the make a contract. Then, they must be completely truthful to their masters. Any feelings they say to them, they are true." I nearly jumped out of my armchair.

   Slamming the book shut, I began to walk to the dining room. The smell of pancakes and maple syrup greeted me as I reached the door. I reached out for the handle, only for the door to be swung open.

   "Good morning, My Lord." He smiled, mouth closed. I blushed and walked over to the table. He pulled out my chair and I sat down. "Today's breakfast will be blueberry and chocolate pancakes with maple syrup. Would you like to guess today's tea, young Lord?" He asked me. I nodded.

   Placing the tea in front of me, I took a sniff of it and furrowed my eyebrows.

   "Earl Grey... with chocolate?" I asked him, confused.

   Sebastian's POV

   I nodded.

   "Just something to sweeten your mood, My Lord." I replied almost bitterly. My master frowned and took a sip of his tea. "Is it to your liking?"

   "It's fine." He whispered.

   The next five minutes were spent in silence. The only audible sound was the master's chewing. When he had finished, I stood behind him, ready to collect the dirty china. He placed both hands on the table and sighed.

   Ciel's POV

   "Sebastian?" I whispered. I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth.

   "Yes, My Lord?" He answered me. He soothing voice rang through my ears as my heart pounded loudly. l I couldn't take it anymore. If I didn't do anything now, I knew my heart would have an attack. The depth my heart beats at whenever I'm around his dangerously close to killing me. My lungs couldn't take in enough air for me to be able to say how much I love him, and so it had to be done by an action. An action that speaks a thousand words.

   I tapped the table, signalling him to stand next to me. He stepped to my side. Looking up into his eyes, I decided that this was my chance. I grabbed his collar and pulled his face down towards mine.

   "I love you so fucking much, Sebastian."
