Paint Me Black and Leave Me Alone

-11-

Morgan POV-

"That sneaky bastard!" I gasped as Sebastian finished telling the story of the Phantomhive Murders from his point of view.

"That's it!" I exclaimed, slamming my hands on the table. "Wedding's off! I'm sorry Sebastian, but you're out of a godfather position." My friend chuckled as I promptly plopped down onto my master's lap again.

"U-uh..." I looked over, only just remembering that Arthur was still with us. He was blushing slightly, looking at Ciel's 'predicament'. The thirteen year old sighed and waved him off.

"I have already gotten used to it. Besides, I wouldn't be able to shake her off even if I wanted to."

I smiled happily and flashed him a peace sign, then pouted and crossed my arms over my chest childishly. "I can't believe Earl Grey was the one who actually killed Sideburns and Sebastian!"

I sniffled dramatically and jumped off of Ciel, only to run directly to Sebastian and cling to him like a koala. "Don't ever die on me again, good buddy!" I wailed.

Sebastian chuckled and pried me off with his demonic strength. "Why don't you go check on Jeff the Killer, Morgan. I am sure he'll be pleased to see you."

My dramatic cries stopped at that, and I smiled happily. "M'kay!"

Giggling, I skipped off through the greenhouse (where Sebastian and Ciel decided to explain everything) and went straight to the bird cage that held the now untied Jeff the Killer.

"Hi Jeff~!" I sang, then glanced over my shoulder to see Sebastian doin his demon thing.

Jeff the Killer hissed in that adorable way of his and I unlocked the cage door. Sticking my arm inside I smiled wide at the snake. "Come on out! Lets go get you some food stuffs!"

I giggled as he slithered onto my hand, under my sleeve, up my arm, and finally rested around my neck like a boa (pun totally intended).

I smiled wide and kissed him on his little black head as his tongue flickered on my cheek. For some reason once I got Ciel's smell off of me, Jeff the Killer became really friendly and awesome.

I skipped back to Ciel and Sebastian, Arthur had already gone.

My master scowled at my appearance. "Why is that snake around your neck?"

"I guess he likes it there." I shrugged, causing his little snaky head to bump into one of my bruises. I hissed in pain and Ciel sighed. "I can't have you going around looking like that. Sebastian, fix her."

My friend smiled slightly. "Yes, my lord."

With his teeth, he removed the glove on his left hand, revealing the mark that he and Ciel shared. I didn't pay attention to that though. I whistled a low note."Nice nails, man. They naturally black, or do you paint them?"

He chuckled as he bit his thumb with sharp teeth, drawing blood. "Natural."

I smiled. "Cool. So watcha doin' there buddy?"

He smirked and held his thumb up to my mouth. "Go on, have a little." I squinted at the dark red liquid skeptically. "Is demon blood poisonous to humans?"

"Only in large quantities."

"What's a drop gonna do?"

"Heal your injuries."

"How much is too much?"

"Two drops."

I paused for a moment, weighing my options. Heal slowly and naturally, or go back to normal now? Hmmm... I shrugged again, Jeff the Killer hissing in protest. "Eh. What the hell."
