It was a day like any other. Well, for most people. For Ciel Phantomhive, it was an unusually calm and boring day. He glared at his reflection in his Earl Grey tea and wondered what he might do for some mild entertainment. Just then, Sebastian walked in and a wicked grin(Which on Ciel honestly just looked like a bored grin) spread across his face. Why not take the moment to pry and get the demon to answer some uncomfortable questions?
"Sebastian?"
"Yes my lord?"
"You always have to tell the truth, don't you?" he asked smugly.
"Of course, my lord," replied the demon, already not liking where the conversation was heading.
"Can demons feel love?"
Sebastian pondered this before replying carefully.
"If the right person came along perhaps a demon could feel some sort of attraction on a level beyond the norm. Since I have never experienced a human 'love', I cannot be sure. But we can feel immense physical and spiritual attraction."
"Isn't spiritual attraction what causes you to form contracts with people?"
"A form of it," Sebastian answered indirectly.
"Have you ever felt this?"
Again, the raven haired man had to stop and think for a bit.
"Perhaps. It is hard to tell."
This got Ciel interested. He scooted to the edge of his chair like a child- an ordinary child, that is.
"Is this person still around today?"
"Yes," Sebastian said, losing come of his composure.
"What do you think of this person, then?" Ciel successfully ushered Sebastian into a state of awkwardness, a soft blush just barely visible on the raven's pallid skin.
"The most beautiful creature to walk the planet. Soft steel-black hair like strands of silk in my fingers, the most adorable face I've ever seen accompanied by vivid blue eyes, and a sweet disposition masked by ferocity..." the demon became lost in thought, his features softening in his daydream and the blush a bit more noticeable now.
Ciel smirked. This was golden! Now it was time to finally get the answer to a question that had been bothering him for ages-
"Sebastian," he said earnestly, the dull light in the room making his vividly blue eye sparkle and his steely black hair shine, "Remember you must tell the truth. What do you think of me? Say the first thing that you think of. That is an order."
This caught the butler so off-guard he actually stammered.
"M-my lord, I-I couldn't say what comes to mind aloud! It would be entirely improper!"
"That's an ORDER, Sebastian!"
The demon sighed in defeat.
"Very well. To be rather frank, I think you're a hideously annoying twat, but your soul smells scrumptious."
Ciel chuckled. That was the answer he expected.
"And Sebastian, please stop acting like you don't know you smuggled that black cat into my mansion!"
*Epic Trollface*
I know I totally set that one up! However, I still hope you like it and it at least brought out a chuckle! Whether or not this story connects with my other SebasxCat story, 'Simply One Hell of a Kitten', is entirely up to the reader to decide.
In case anyone is wondering, the cat's name is Ebony :)
