“Why not? It is just flesh. Nothing more.”

@kuro-morale-events KME Tarot Bingo: Two of Swords (Impasse, decisions, avoidance)

Undertaker couldn’t believe his ears. After goading the young Earl so many times to give him the “first-rate laughter,” he said yes for the first time. The demon was alarmed, then appalled. He didn’t want to take it seriously until his little lord ordered him to leave and not to peek inside. Was it Prince Soma’s taunting that brought him to this? The young Indian nobleman teased him during breakfast saying he was too small, too short, to act like a proper adult, and that he relied too much on his butler.

“I command you, Sebastian! Don’t peep nor enter until I say so!”

Like a dog with his tail lowered, the butler closed the heavy iron door annoyed and defeated. The boy began to take off his coat without wasting time. He unbuttoned his waist coat, untucked his shirt, and uncuffed his sleeves.

Undertaker looked at him surprised.

“I saw you once,” the knave untied the cerise ribbon around the collar and opened the first five buttons of his ruffled shirt, “with my predecessor, doing something behind my mother’s back. One night you came to his study after Diedrich left angry. They were arguing about you. He was jealous of you. I was there, Undertaker, I was hiding under the table. I thought Diedrich would kill my father. And the three of you didn’t notice me. Later my brother asked me where I was the whole time. I couldn’t tell him what I saw because I couldn’t explain it at first. I didn’t understand it at all. Now, I know. I realize.”

Of course, that explained why the boy was afraid of him compared to his older twin brother.

“Hold up, boy, do you think you could pay your way out stripteasing?!” The mortician snatched the young nobleman’s hand.

“Why not? It is just flesh. Nothing more. Don’t you desire me too? I can see it in your eyes. You gaze at us, at me as if I were your lost—“

“Stop! What happened between your father and I is none of your business, Earl. But you can do one thing.”

“Tell me and I’ll do it.” The boy’s look was daring, anticipating, yet his heart was beating fast and loud that the mortician could hear it.

I’ll let the demon hear my sins.

KME Tarot Bingo: The Hanged Man (Surrender, letting go, new perspective)

In a desolated castle outside of Prague, whilst the whole country was on the brink of the Velvet Revolution, two figures were lurking in the shadows. The light coming from the television was the only source that illuminated their faces.

“Do you think they are ready for us again?” Sebastian arched his left eyebrow. He faced the boy, who would never age. He would be more than a hundred years old if he were still human. Ciel declared himself “dead” to live a new chapter of his life. He and Sebastian went on to see the world between heaven and hell.

“I’ve been a demon all my life, Ciel. It is not hard work to be with humans and move the same way like them. I am a living proof.” Sebastian replied, albeit condescendingly.

Who could forget that fateful day when Alois Trancy denied the demon butler’s intention to devour Ciel’s soul? And irony of ironies, Ciel got what he wanted, the killers of his parents were dead, but it meant he also couldn’t die. Most of all, he and Sebastian were inseparable.

“Perhaps, it is time to face the music once again?” Sebastian suggested, a bit irritated.

“I am missing Bard. Let’s go to the Americas and stay there for a while. And be rock stars.” Ciel smirked.

“Surely, this is not one of those whims of yours.” The butler stayed glued to the TV, watching what was happening on the streets of the Czech capital.

“It is getting noisy in this part of town.”

“Noisy?” Sebastian chuckled. “Very well. As you wish,” Sebastian bowed down to Ciel. It was a habit he couldn’t help doing sometimes.
