The years wore on and the two lovers became almost inseparable. It was no longer the relationship of servant and master, though that was still there at times. They had become so much more. It was odd, in a way. It felt like they had always been together, like this was exactly how the universe had planned for them to be. Ciel had never really believed in God but, the more he thought about it, the more he became certain that there was one.

After all, who or what else could have him go through so much misery then give him so much happiness in compensation? And he was happy. That was the strangest part of the whole thing. He was so blissfully happy. It was a feeling he hadn't had since . . .since. . .well, he couldn't even remember when.

And Sebastian was happy too. He had found it unnerving to be so happy but, he figured, it made Ciel happy to see him happy. It was heart-warming to know how much the little Lord cared for the elder demon and it always brought a smile to the elder's face when he thought about it.

Decades went by, each dress style more ridiculous than the last up 'til the late nineties when the dress codes became more bearable.

And they could hold hands in public now. Of course, to the world, it just looked like a thirteen year old clinging on cutely to his elder brother but, since the world had become more relaxed with homosexual relationships, as did Ciel and he was now able to give little shows of affection outside the confinements of their home without turning into a tomato. They couldn't really kiss like they wanted to but, a small peck on the cheek or the forehead was acceptable unless they wanted Sebastian to look like a paedophile.

They had sex almost every night. Sometimes it was heated, passionate and fierce but sometimes it was slow and affectionate and about showing the other that this wasn't just sex, it was making love. There were nights, however, when they didn't do much more than lie in one another's arms and/or talk until they fell asleep.

Sebastian quickly found it really was the little things that counted. Just a soft peck on the cheek in the morning was enough to make Ciel beam with joy and it meant a whole lot to Sebastian that Ciel never really ordered him to do anything, leaving the elder to complete any task of his own free will. Ok, Ciel did get quite commanding in the bedroom, spurting out orders Sebastian was always only too happy to oblige to, but that was only when the young master was feeling kinky and it wasn't like Sebastian couldn't get demanding too.

Yes, they were happy. Blissfully so.

It wasn't exactly a fairy tale, it was never going to be. They still had their ups and their downs but, in the end, the results were the same.

And they really do live happily ever after.

So, ok.

I just wanted to add a happy ending XD

Your cheesy little secret
