I was curled up under the blanket snuggled close to Sebastian.
"Come on sleepy head. Wake up. We promised we'd be there at noon."
I buried my face in the crook of his neck and whined, "No… Just a bit longer."
I soft sigh gave me the only answer I needed. Sebastian was never able to resist my charms and it showed. I laid there basking in his warmth before he finally decided it was time to wake up. He pulled away from me and jumped out of the bed as he headed to the bathroom. I groaned, pushed the blankets off myself before stretching.

It had been months since we had confessed our feelings for each other. It didn't go as well as in the movies, it was hard at first trying to teach him emotion and affection. For me I had to adapt to his life as a demon; the work he had to do, his traditions, and the idea of his family and friends.
I had expected him to have some form of attachment to the demon world. Though it was shocking to have his mother and sister step out of my closet one night and coddle me. I still flush thinking about all the things they did. Demons didn't have much respect for personal boundaries so they may have attempted to unclothe me. It was still nice to meet them though.
His friend Bard eventual came to meet me as well though he was much calmer than Sebastian's family. He was the one to help us discover that Sebastian could live in my world as long as he returned every few weeks from this world to feed. It made things easier since we were able to experience living with each other instead of just staying with each other for a few hours.

I stood from the bed and stretched before making my way into the bathroom where I stripped and joined Sebastian in the shower. He finished rinsing his hair before grabbed the shampoo bottle once again and lathering my hair with shampoo. We didn't speak as he washed my hair and body. We both got out and wrapped ourselves in towels. We each headed to our respective dressers and got ready separately.
I was sitting on the bed tying my shoes when I heard Sebastian call out to me from down the hall.
"Come on Ciel your mother's already going to be furious that were so late!"
I rolled my eyes, took a moment to check over my outfit in the mirror and then made my way down stairs. Sebastian was waiting at the front door hold it open as he pulled out the car keys.
"I guess you're driving this time?"
"Yes Ciel, i'm going to let you drive when last time you got distracted by your phone and almost rear ended someone." Sarcasm dripped from his words and I felt my face grow hot. I pouted and crossed my arms but obediently climbed into the passenger side seat.
I car ride held a comfortable silence as we both got lost in our own worries. My mother invited us over to have dinner a few days ago claiming she and father had a special announcement. I didn't want to know what she had planned for me.
Always the perfect boyfriend Sebastian noticed my worry, "You okay?"
"I'm not sure. I love my parents but i'm nervous for whatever announcement they have."
He expertly pulled up in front of the Phantomhive estate and walked around to open my door.
I stepped out and began walking to the front door when he grabbed my wrist and placed a kiss upon my temple.
"Don't be so worried sure it'll all be fine." He intertwined our fingers and lead me to the house where we walked in and made our way to the living room to greet my parents.
"Hey mom. Hello dad." Sebastian smiled and nodded at both of them while I gave them hugs. They ushered us into the dining room so we could speak before lunch.
Food came out and got set in front of us though no one began eating. Instead my father began speaking, "Ciel I know how you hate useless conversation so I'll get straight to the point. I want you to take over Funtom."
I stared in shock for a few moments before Sebastian nudged my leg with his own in worry.
"Oh I'm sorry its a shock. I'd love to take over Funtom; but do you think I'm ready? I've just recently graduated from college."
My father nodded and smiled, "Of course, I wouldn't just promote you to CEO overnight. I want you to spend three months in each department so you can get a small feel of how things run, the job they do, that kind of thing. Then next year during the annual board meeting I will announce that you're taking over for me."
I thought it over for a moment and nodded. Three month in each department would been a good amount of time to at least learn the basics of each. Mother clapped happily and ushered us all to eat our food before it got cold. She was happy to have me taking over; knowing that I'd have a secure job and income meant the world to my mother. My parents were never above helping me when it came to money but they were proud to see me working for it. Lunch wasn't eventful besides Mey-rin, the maid, dropping a few pieces of china. That was common for her and none of us batted an eyelash.

Sebastian and I left the estate sometime later after just sitting and chatting with my parents for a while.
"I told you not to be so worried."
I smiled as he teased me, "Yeah I guess it was pretty good news." We lapsed back into our silence as he turned on so soft classical music. We both had a soft for classical music. In my youth I had learned to play the violin and Sebastian was discovering a similar love for music instruments.

Sebastian pulled into the driveway of our house and stopped the car but didn't immediately get out like normal. I paused with my hand on the door and looked back at him, "You coming Sebastian?"
"Oh yeah. I just… there's a thunderstorm coming. Thunderstorms always remind me of the night we met."
I giggled and leaned against the seat, "Yeah I used to be afraid of thunderstorms but now I find comfort in them."
Sebastian hopped out of the car and came around before picking me up bridal style and carrying my into the house.
He softly nuzzled my neck and whispered, "I love you."
I echoed his words and smiled as the first clap of thunder sounded.

Thanks to a thunderstorm, my fears, and a chance meeting; I found the love of my life.
The demon in my closet became my best friend, my lover, and the person who chased away every fear.
