"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Mr. Sebastian! A bird flew by while I was trimming the hedges and I got distracted and accidentally chopped all of the branches off of the trees next to the bushes!" The blond gardener was almost on the verge of tears as he explained the reason (excuse) for his mistake to the servant who had just stepped out into the garden. "I didn't realize they were branches until I had already cut most of them off and then I needed to even them up but I ended up cutting them all off!" he continued, practically cowering before Sebastian.

The demon looked around at all of the mutilated trees with all of their lower and middle branches missing, then to the half-trimmed hedges, then at the blond boy standing before him with glistening eyes and broken hedge clippers in his hand.

"It's alright, Finnian," he said. "I'll replant the trees later." And then he turned around and walked right back inside, leaving the gardener to sniffle in confusion.

"You're not even going to threaten him a little bit?" asked Ciel. Sebastian turned to see him leaning casually against the wall, smirking at him.

"All better now, are you?" the demon asked.

"Yes, obviously," the boy replied. "And a good thing too. You start glowing for a single day and already you've let my garden be destroyed without so much as a little death threat. I can't even imagine what you'll say if my dishes break or the kitchen explodes. Probably something like, 'Oh, don't worry about it. I'm sure the young master is perfectly willing to pay up unreasonably large sums of money to take care of the repairs!'"

"Something like that, yes." Said Sebastian.

"I may have ton fire them if you're going to let them get away with these things. And while I'm at it, I may just fire you as well.

Sebastian smirked and leaned down so that he and his master were on the same level. "You would never do that, love." He whispered. Ciel blushed furiously.

"Don't call me that!" he ordered. "The others will find out."

"So what if they do?" asked Sebastian. "You don't have to explain yourself to any one, remember?" He moved closer to his little lord and caressed his reddening cheek. "It shouldn't matter if they find out."

Warm, sweet-smelling breath whispered over Ciel's lips and the child leaned toward the source and captured it with his own mouth. He pushed himself up onto his toes and closed his eyes, drinking up the scent and taste of his beloved servant. He never wanted to give this up and as he thought this, he flooded with warmth as he realized he would never have to. Sebastian belonged only to him for the remainder of his life on Earth and after that, Ciel would belong only to Sebastian. They were bound together for eternity by an unbreakable contract. The seal on the young earl's eye hummed almost as if in approval, assuring the boy that he was always going to be able to hold this creature in his arms. He would always be able to look up into the demon's eyes and see them light up with love that was only for him. He would forever be able to kiss him, forever be able to fee; his own heart speed up at the sight of him, forever be able to feel a love that was so strong it felt like it was crushing him completely beneath its weight.

"I love you," he whispered against Sebastian's lips; and it was so true he wanted to cry. He didn't care who found out. In fact, he almost wanted the others to find out. All that mattered was Sebastian. Even his revenge seemed about as significant to him now as some tiny little ant. Sebastian was the only one in the world and he always had been. Ciel clung to him and ordered, "Don't you ever let me go. And with a loving smile and a sugar-sweet kiss came Sebastian's reply.

"Yes, my lord."
