His Masters Pet

So I haven't written anything in a while and I decided Ciel x Alois was a great place to start! Really I just want to roll play, seriously if you like my writing and you want to roll play, and your not going to run off without warning me (in other words, I want a partner who is as in love with our Rp as I am) I want you to message me- seriously, message me! What are you still doing here, message me! Haha okay I'll get on with it-

Disclaimer: bla bla you know the drill don't own this and that bla.

This fic may contain a lot of fluff and angst, I'm keeping the start just a little bit vague to prevent as many spoilers as possible because this starts in the middle of black butler II but I can't help a few little spoilers... But once we get into the real plot, I promise I won't spoil anything major- Thanks for reding guys! I love you all!

Ciel lay in his bed, looking up at the ceiling. Something was eating him, gnawing at his mind. He had really hurt Alois during there fight, but when he sore him he was still alive. The blond didn't look good though, he was losing blood rapidly, I'm clear pain showing on his face as he begged for his life. It was pathetic really. Watching him cry and sniffle like a beaten dog.

He had been barely alive when Sebastian took Ciel home. Sure enough he was dying but... Claude was there... The demon butler wouldn't possibly let him die would he? Was he really a murderer? Now that he had thought about this all, he wasn't even sure why he hated trancy so much. He wasn't sure what he had been told about the other earl had any truth to it at all, and while he had an unhealthy obsession with Ciel, perhaps he was lied to as well? If it all had been lies, and he had been mislead, did that mean he had needlessly ended the life of one of the few people on this earth that may have known the same pain he did? He had to have a reason to make a pact with a demon after all, so surely there was trauma in his past.

'Why do I care so much? Why do I care at all?' He asked himself, rolling over and hugging his pillow. 'He had Claude with him, so he is probably still alive... Still...'

He sighed loudly, sitting up at last and looking to the demon who was standing close by, pouring his tea. It took the young earl a few more long moments to decide what exactly he wanted Sebastian to do, but once he opened his mouth he knew this was exactly what he wanted.

"Sebastian."

"Yes, my lord?" The demon replied, handing him the cup which Ciel pushed away dismissively.

"I want you to retrieve Alois Trancy, bring him here." He said simply, getting a look of concern from the demon, but cutting him off before he could protest. "If he has died, then I want you to bring his body to me, he has no close family so there is no one that should want it and you shouldn't have any trouble retrieving it. If he is alive however I order you to keep it that way, don't hurt him in any way to get him here."

Sebastian was a little confused by this order, he hadn't shown any regret in his actions when he struck him down so why now did he suddenly want to see his body, alive or dead?

"Young master, are you perhaps feeling a little guilty?" He smiled a teasing smile, he couldn't help himself sometimes.

"It's no concern of yours! Just go! It's an order Sebastian!"

"Yes, my lord, I'll return to you as soon as I have him." The demon knew that if he was alive, he would struggle to take the blond from Claude even if the other demon wanted his master more. Still, that would be no excuse for failure and he bowed respectfully. What kind of butler would he be if he couldn't for fill a simple order like this?

The raven turned, bounding out the window gracefully and off into the morning sunlight. He crossed vast distances incredibly quickly, faster then any horse could run, but even then he struggled to find the earl. He wasn't at home, and when the demon finally did catch sent of him, he was nowhere near where he expected to find him.

'you can't be dead then, lord Trancy.' He mused to himself as he closed in on his presents. ' or you wouldn't have been able to get way out here by your-' his thoughts where suddenly cut off by a painful cry, and the sight of a fellow butler closing in on his master, the blond clearly in bad shape and with only moments left of life I'm him.

He drew his knives, leaping in from behind and flinging them into the back of the other demon who looked back to see his attacker as they dug deep into his back, but Sebastian could waist no time on the traitor, since his master had requested Alois be brought in alive.

"You truly are detestable, a demon who so blatantly breaks his contract with his master?" Sebastian sounded as disgusted as he felt, going straight for the kill with every blow, even as Claude fended off most of them. He didn't have time to play with the spider today.

Claude darted away, trying to keep out of range of the knives that slashed at him, eventually deciding on retreat when his glasses smashed and fell to the ground in front of him. "Hmm..." He could always fall back and come up with a better plan after all, since it looked much more like the raven was after his master then him. He jumped back into the trees, not taking his eyes off Sebastian until he was well out of range. If he stayed to fight, Alois would be dead before either of them where defeated, and that would ruin his plans anyway. This was a no win situation and he could see that.

"Lord Trancy?" The demon watched the other retreat for now, knowing that he was planning something already but still focusing on his goal. He bent down to the boy who was leaning up against a tree and gave him a gentile shake, hoping for some response. "My young master will be disappointed should you die here, especially if he finds out you where alive when I arrived."

Alois didn't respond, and after a moment the raven moved his hand to his neck, feeling his pulse and trying to judge if he would die should be be moved. It didn't look good, but the demon sore little other option. If he ran fast enough, he would still be alive when he got back to the manner, but waiting here would achieve nothing. Slowly and carefully he wrapped his arms around him, scooping the blond up and holding him close to his chest. He didn't really have a choice, no option would be perfect here, he just had do do what he thought was best.

The trip back to the manner was quiet and slower then the demon would have liked. He was doing his best not to jostle Alois, but a little could not be helped as he jumped back through the very window he had left from.

The earl had finished his breakfast and was sitting on his bed waiting, wondering what Sebastian would bring him. He haven't decided what he wanted to do with Alois when he got him, he didn't even know if he would be alive or dead so such a decision was impossible to make right away.

"My lord." Ciel's head snapped right around at the sound of the demons voice he haven't even known had returned.

"Sebastian!" He was about to scold him for disturbing his thoughts when he sore the little body he clutched in his arms, assuming the worst. He was far to pale and still to be alive. His voice became quiet, calmer, almost a little sad. "He didn't make it..." The earl whispered, shaking his head."lay him down." He stood, wanting to give him room.

Sebastian didn't correct him, he haven't felt much life from the blond for the last few moments of the trip and didn't want to disappoint his master by saying he was alive when there was a very real chance he wasn't.

Slowly he laid him down on the bed, putting his head down on a pillow. Taking a good look at him, he begun to un fasten the buttons of his shirt, wanting to free the blond from anything that was preventing a clear view of his chest.

"Sebastian!" The earl scolded again, anger seemingly returning to his voice but there was a little hurt there now. "I did not ask you to do that! Let him have his dignity for Christ sakes!" Whatever dignity he hadn't already lost in his despite plea for life.

"Forgive me, young master, but he was alive when I found him." He had to make sure he was gone. "I am trying to help."

Ciel fell quiet, watching with a silent glare for a moment. He didn't know what Sebastian was getting at, but once he was finally free of the top half of his clothes he could see the boy faintly gasping for breath and suddenly held his own breath.

The demon put his ear to the boys chest for a long moment. He was dying, Sebastian could feel and hear it. He was barely even breathing, cold to the touch and his heart had started to beat irregularly. For now though, he was alive, so he had given his master just what he wanted.

He looked up, seeing his master watching him closely with so many mixed emotions, some of which he had never seen in the boy before in the whole time they had known each other.

"Did you want to listen, young lord?" He asked cooly, holding out his hand for the boy to take so he could guide him to where he could hear the heart beat that was still there.

The earl almost wanted to snap and say no, Why would he ever want to do that? Sebastian's hand didn't move though, and almost automatically as if driven by some force he didn't understand he took it, letting the demon pull him up onto the bed, crouching next to him and slowly letting his butler guide his right ear over to the left side of the boys chest.

He was almost over the top of him, and shifted to get more comfortable in the odd position, holding himself up slightly so he didn't cause more harm or pain then he already had and then closed his eyes and listened.

There was a whistling sound with each breath, which was staggered and seem to have no real pattern to it. Sometimes the breaths where seconds apart, sometimes closer to minuets. His heart beat wasn't much better, rapid, quiet, and unsteady. It made Ciel uneasy just listing to it, but somehow he couldn't pull his head away.

"He's dying..." He confirmed out loud, not pulling away. "Is he in any pain?" He asked quietly, not wanting to disturb the blonds peace as he faded.

"I'm sure he was, but he appears to be unconscious at the moment." And as far as he knew humans felt nothing while in this state. "I can make him more comfortable, if you wish?"

"Yes..." The boy replied simply, keeping his eyes shut and his head in place. "Don't let him suffer."

Sebastian nodded, deciding now was not a good time to tease the earl and carefully pulled off his shoes, socks, and then more carefully his far to tight shorts, leaving him just in his underwear and then pulling the blanket up around his waist, leaving his master to listen to the boys chest the entire time.

"Do you find something interesting young lord?" He asked curiously, but mostly just to break the silence that seemed to be suffocating them.

"His heart..." He answered simply, frowning.

"What about his heart are you listening to so intently?" Sebastian had only intended to make his young master feel a little more involved, and understanding of the process.

"I can barely hear it, and it's my fault." He answered in a whisper, but it made Sebastian go quiet until the earl spoke up again. "Is there anything I can do for him?" He asked shyly, "to make this easier on him?"

"I'm sure just you being there is comforting." He answered honestly, and Ciel gave a soft sigh.

Was he comforting? He had caused this, so how could he be in any way comforting to the dying blond. Still, he pulled himself up for a moment and re positioned himself so he was cuddled in more comfortably for both of them, his head on his chest still. Sebastian took this as a clear cue to cover them both with the blanket. He wondered how long the boy could hold on for, but it didn't matter to much. He finished treating the boy and then sat on a chair by the bed, knowing his master would probably need him before to long.

It didn't take long from that moment. Ciel was almost in a trance just listening to the sounds of the boys chest, counting the seconds between his breaths. There was a soft little breath out, almost like a gentile sigh, then nothing. The other young earl held his breath right along with him, it wasn't until his own lungs begun to burn that a tear escaped and he buried his head into the blonds chest.

"H-he's..." He didn't know what had come over him, why it even upset him so much, they hadn't even been friends had they? There was something to be said for the cat and mouse game they had played together, but nothing to be this upset about. He couldn't hold it back, the tears just came to him.

Sebastian stood, leaning over and feeling his pulse, putting a cheek over his lips. "Please move back, young lord." He said calmly.

"W-what? No!" He wanted to stay with him until his little heart stopped, it was still throbbing but it was fading faster and faster now.

"Move back." He said more firmly this time, letting his master know he was serious. He wouldn't make him any promises, not when he couldn't keep them, but he wasn't going to disappoint him either.

Ciel moved off just a little, hearing the serious tone and deciding Sebastian knew something he didn't.

The demon moved smoothly, lifting his head and removing the pillow from beneath him, then tilting his head back, listening to see if that alone was enough to start his breathing, but it wasn't. Carefully he pinched the blonds nose, parting his lips carefully. He climbed up so he was kneeling next to the boy on the opposite side to his master, and then sealed his lips over the boys, forcing in what to him was nothing but a gentile little puff but made the blonds chest shoot up a little to rapidly.

Ciel jumped, "Sebastian!" He didn't sound mad, just confused, he didn't know what was happening even if he could take a guess.

"I'm sorry, I'll be more gentile next time." But he had never done this before, and while he knew he may have damaged the boy he also knew the earl of Trancy would die in moments if he didn't start breathing again.

He pushed in a puff a little slower this time, pulling back to let the blond breathe out, letting his fingers go to his neck. He was losing him, oxygen or not, he had lost most of his strength in just a few moments. It was worth a try though and he sat back a little.

"I'm sorry, young lord, I had thought-"

"Keep going!" The earl cut him off sharply. "Keep going or I will!" Seeing him breathe like that, even if Sebastian was making him do it, it was just to much for him to let go of and let the boy die.

Sebastian nodded, taking the order and repeating his soft breaths into the boys mouth. He focused more on the feeling of the boy, the lungs expanding and the body losing what little remained of its warmth. As he kept track of his vital signs, he earls weak heart finally stopped, unable to pump any longer.

"Young master..." He whispered, seeing the boy wriggle closer again and this time rather then shoeing him back he pulled him back in to the boys chest. "Listen again."

Ciel closed his eyes, trying to hear the sound of the boys heart beat, unable to find it. "Sebastian... Is he..." He shook his head. No, the raven was onto something! He couldn't let him go now! "Sebastian! Do something!"

Ciel sat up, mimicking the demons actions and leaning down over his body and pinching his nose, pushing in a breath. He had to blow much harder into the delicate body then Sebastian did to get the blonds chest to rise, but it worked just the same.

The demon looked down at his master, now his heart had stopped, breathing into him like that wasn't helping. He thought long and hard then put his hand on the boys chest, over his heart, starting to push down hard in deep, rhythmic compressions. This shocked the little earl, who looked up at him helplessly.

"It's alright, young lord." He comforted, "he is in no pain, I know It looks like I'm being rough, but he cannot feel it." He was gone, and wouldn't feel his chest being treated this way, not unless he woke up which would solve all there problems.

"Alright..." He nodded, deciding to continue breathing for the boy, fighting back his emotions to try to push life back into him, even if he had no idea what Sebastian was doing. He trusted his butler and he hoped he knew what was best.

"I have not done this before, I don't know if this will work..." he sped up his compressions a little, timing it with the rate the boys heart would have been beating if he was in better shape. "But it cannot hurt to try."

The earl nodded, starting to feel tired after some time. The demon looked unfazed still, pushing demonic energy into his heart with each push to try to get it to pump for him. If he felt his body start to stiffen, he would know he was gone and stop. the boy didn't stiffen however, letting the raven know he was delaying at least that.

It seemed like it went on forever for the earl, but he just focused on the feeling of the blonds soft, cool lips beneath him. 'I'm not hurting him.' He told himself over and over, trying to stop himself from worrying to much about the stress this could be causing on the other young lord. 'He can't feel it...' Or could he? Ciel almost wished he could, so he could feel the lips on his, feel it, know he was being cared for, and fight his way back. Alois couldn't fight though, he had lost his battle, all they could do now was fight for him until there was nothing left to fight for.

Sebastian paused, reaching up to feel the boys neck. It made Ciel pause to, stopping to see what his butler was doing. The demon could feel something, but he was skeptical at first, leaning down to once more listen to his heart.

"His hearts beating." He said, almost proud of his accomplishment. It was probably all the demonic energy he had pushed into his heart that got it going, but he and his young master had held death off long enough for it to have time to work. "I can take over, if your tired."

"No." The earl said bluntly, giving another breath to the recovering blond. If they could start his heart, they where sure he could keep it going! "Just take care of him." the earl could make sure he was getting enough air if Sebastian would tend his body and heart, since he couldn't do anything about that.

"Yes, my lord." He bowed slightly and begun to check his wounds again, carefully re bandaging them and then rubbing his body.

Alois didn't improve, but he didn't deteriorate again either now with Ciel breathing for him. It made the raven worry that perhaps he would never start breathing again on his own. He didn't know how to best approach that topic with the quickly tiring earl, especially not when he had become so hopeful after feeling his heart beat again.

The demon didn't know if he could, or should pump any more demonic energy into the smaller boy. Now he had his heart beating, he didn't want to risk destroying his delicate lungs in his haste to make something happen.

Sebastian pulled back for a moment and just watched, taking in everything he had he could use as well as his young masters condition. He couldn't keep going forever, and he was already looking exhausted.

He didn't have time to come up with a plan of action however, before he could even start formulating one, the blond sucked in a breath sharply.

Ciel jumped back a little. Surprised at what he had felt so suddenly.

"Trancy!" He called out, hoping he would wake up for him, but not looking to disheartened when he didn't respond. Breathing was enough. "Sebastian! He's breathing!" He was excited, for a moment before the realisation that nothing had actually changed hit him. He was still wounded. Still weak. "What can we do?" He asked, looking up at his butler.

"We can keep him warm and safe, until he recovers or slips away again." It would be as peaceful as Sebastian could manage for his young master either way. "I may have damaged his ribs, I am sorry young lord, he may be in pain should he wake." He would do his best to keep his suffering to a minimum, it wouldn't do for his master to see the other earl rolling about crying in agony from there actions. As much as he liked to tease him, he wanted to spare him the pain and guilt if he could.

Ciel nodded, if his body died again then he would let him go. He didn't want to torture the blond, that wasn't his intention from the start. Not that he was really sure what his intention was anymore.

The young earl laid himself down again, his head back on his chest.

"Sebastian, assist him with breathing." He could hear that he was strained and struggling for each breath. This was more for his comfort then to keep him alive. It must have felt awful to be unable to draw breath properly, but his butler could relieve that pain for him.

Of coarse, Sebastian gave a little bow and begun giving much slower, much softer puffs. He worked with the boy, making sure they never caused discomfort.

The whole time Ciel held him close, slowly pulling his thoughts together. He started to realise his feelings one by one, and made sense of them as he went.

Ciel was attracted to the blond; he was the only one who knew his suffering, the only one that understood the desperation it took to make a deal with a demon. He had both hated, and loved there little game, and the blonds confusing actions had intrigued him and left him curious and wanting even if he didn't realise it at the time. He was also physically nice to look at, and whole he was cold now, he was usually so warm and soft to touch, even if most of there previous contact was unwelcome.

"Will you forgive me?" He asked in a whisper, hoping at the very least Alois could hear him. He cuddled in a little more, remembering how badly it hurt to heard his breathing stop. He was tired, most of the day had already passed them by without him even noticing and he closed his eyes. This was emotionally and physically draining.

All he could do for now was hope Sebastian could keep him alive until he finally woke.
