{{quote|'''Sebastian:''' I will follow you wherever you go, until the very end. Even If I were to be shattered in pieces, I would never leave your side. I would follow you to the depths of hell.}}
** Sebastian's default habit of carrying Ciel bridal style, especially in the manga, and how he constantly rescues Ciel.
** Let's not forget the (in)famous corset scene from chapter 8/episode 4...where it looked like Sebastian was having sex with a naked sweat covered Ciel from behind, complete with a blushing Ciel gasping out he "can't take anymore" and Sebastian telling Ciel to "bear with it." Of course, they're referring to Sebastian helping Ciel [https://web.archive.org/web/20110115042002/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/8/02/ put on a corset].
*** Which was to enable Ciel to crossdress as a girl (wearing a frilly dress and sporting longer hair) so he could attend Aleister's party where he shared a dance with Sebastian who was wearing gentlemen's evening wear... Later on, Sebastian saves Ciel from being auctioned off by Aleister, [https://web.archive.org/web/20110115042032/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/8/12/ even carrying him bridal style while he's wearing that frilly dress].
** And then there's [https://web.archive.org/web/20101226032240/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/27/37/ this], even though it seemed like there were other things to hide ''behind'' in that room... or they could have just ran out of the room, even.
** Don't forget [https://web.archive.org/web/20100827062335/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/34/17/ these] [https://web.archive.org/web/20100827063515/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/34/18/ pages] from Chapter 34 of the manga (it's vomit).
*** Is it bizarre to think so of the [https://web.archive.org/web/20100827044115/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/41/33/ scene] in Chapter 41 where Ciel {{spoiler|straddles Sebastian's supposedly dead body, buries his face in Sebastian's throat and insists his butler was never to leave his side}}?
** If anything, the entire purpose of Nina Hopkin's appearance in chapter 37 was to provide us with some comic relief, fanservice, shotacon, lolicon (meaning some [[Les Yay]] between her and Mey-Rin which includes kissing her and openly groping her breasts and thighs with some heavy breathing sound effects and hearts), and even more [[Ho Yay]] between Sebastian and Ciel (e.g. [https://web.archive.org/web/20101219223339/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/37/25/ here], even though he could have just done [https://web.archive.org/web/20101219223355/http://www.manga2u.com/Kuroshitsuji/37/28/ this] from the beginning...).
*** The end of chapter 53 has [http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/53/33 this picture].
* Blatant even in the first opening theme of the anime, "Monochrome Kiss," which for some reason is a love song with some pretty provocative lyrics which are basically about someone falling in love with their saviour ("after I'd melted you tenderly saved me") and looking for some sign of affection from them even if it's hopeless ("netherless I search for a single form of love"). With our main duo Ciel and Sebastian as the focus of/only characters in the music video...It's actually kind of awkward to watch if you know what they're saying.
Line 48:
 
 
== OtherCiel/Soma ==
* Ciel/Soma, Soma really wants to be his "best friend" and nursed him after his asthmatic attack. He also tends to carry and touch Ciel a lot.
** In volume seven Soma is said to have stayed up all night nursing a bed-ridden Ciel.
** In chapter 66 Soma is shown to get ''really'' worried when he thinks Ciel is having another asthma attack.
 
* There's also Sebastian/Agni too, especially when Sebastian seems rather happy about Agni calling him his "friend", since no one's ever called him that before.
== Ciel/Undertaker ==
** In episode 6 in response to hearing Sebastian play beautiful sounds with some water glasses, Agni's response is to cry tears of joy, says Sebastian has an "immaculate soul", and then comments "How fabulous! You are a truly fabulous man, Sebastian!"
* In the anime, Pluto ([[Spell My Name with an "S"|Pleute? Puru?]]) also gets a little bit of this with Sebastian, but that probably doesn't count since he's a [[Squick|dog]]. Who sometimes turns into a very fit, naked man, still with the mind of a dog.
* Then there's Baron Kelvin's obsession with Ciel which may also count as [[No Yay]], depending on how you look at it, considering the fact that Baron Kelvin is an old, ugly, fat psycho and Ciel is a beautiful little 12-year-old. Also, he apparently ''fell in love'' with Ciel when he [[Love At First Sight|first saw him]] at age 7, and is keenly aware that Ciel is beautiful while he is not. He becomes determined to get surgery and change his appearance, hoping to "become beautiful" and therefore worthy of Ciel, since he believes that "only special people can touch other special people". He also doesn't care ''at all'' when his wife divorces him because of her disgust towards his unsavory actions. Ciel himself confirms it in chapter 31
* The Undertaker seems to have some [[Ho Yay]] towards Ciel. It's especially notable in episode 6 when he is seen watching Ciel at Angelina's funeral from a distance and approaches him after the funeral is over. He calls Ciel kind for giving the last victim of the murders a grave, while caressing/poking Ciel's face with one of his long fingernails, and leans in close to Ciel when questioning if he regrets not making saving her life a priority. Ciel mentions something about "Queen Victoria's distress being lifted" and the Undertaker replies that he doesn't like Victoria since "she just watches from high above and leaves all the difficult matters to you." Ciel replies that its been a duty in his family that's been passed down through the generations along with the ring he wears. Undertaker tells Ciel that the ring is like a collar that connects Ciel to the Queen like a chain called duty while leaning in even closer to Ciel. Ciel shoves the Undertaker away a bit before he grabs Ciel by his tie and pulls him really close to his own body. He then tells him that he hopes the "collar" he wears for Queen Victoria doesn't take his head off one day and releases him. He then turns around and as he leaves, he tells Ciel and Sebastian they can stop by to see him at his shop since he'll welcome them any time.
** The Undertaker/Ciel subtext becomes even more obvious in the Campania Arc: In chapter 61, Undertaker grabs Ciel {{spoiler|to threaten Sebastian}} and gets pretty close to him. Chapter 64 has its moments as well: First, Undertaker attempts to {{spoiler|kill Sebastian because he is making Ciel "miserable"}} and later is not very much concerned about the fact Ciel has gotten hold of his "treasure" when he leaves. Undertaker even gives Ciel a surprisingly warm, loving look.
** In general the Undertaker seems to have [[No Sense of Personal Space]] when it comes to Ciel.
** And in chapter 65 Sebastian states that Undertaker does not seem to want to cause Ciel any harm.
 
* Ciel has shown to be more attractive [[When She Smiles|whenever he smiles]] rather than when he's frowning. This is to the point where Joker in the manga gives him the stage name of Smile in an ironic sense... but then he finds out that Ciel is a damn knockout.
== Ciel/Druitt ==
* Some comedic [[Ho Yay]] could be argued for the scene in which the Viscount Druitt flirts with a cross-dressing Ciel.
** In chapter 52 the Viscount Druitt practically flirts with a disguised Ciel, gets close to his face and tells him "I surely wouldn't forget such a beautiful boy such as yourself. I'm looking forward to staring at both your eyes."
** In chapter 58 the Viscount Druitt winks at Ciel and tells him "[http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/59/18 "Caesar", I will activate it if you call me that way. With that lovely little mouth of yours, cock robin."]
* In episode 1 of the second season the Viscount Druitt refers to Alois: "Oh, what a grievous mistake God has made! How could such unsullied beauty dwell in the flesh of a young boy?! But I will forgive you, God! Amen."
 
** And he also wears a look of great sympathy upon hearing Alois's sob-story.
== Ciel/Snake ==
* Ciel taking in Snake, despite lying to him that he was looking for his friends {{spoiler|when said friends had attempted to ambush Ciel's mansion and were killed by Ciel's staff.}} However in later chapters, it's shown that Ciel does geniunely care for Snake, such as the brief encouragement he gives to Snake when other people were mocking his appearance. Also, he told Snake to get on the rescue boats in his place.
** The [[Love Bubbles]] (seen [http://mangafox.me/manga/kuroshitsuji/v11/c050/24.html here] ) and later Snake's [http://mangafox.me/manga/kuroshitsuji/v11/c052/11.html blush] don't help. Though that [[Luminescent Blush|blush]] could've been caused by Ciel or Sebastian.
 
== Other ==
* There's also Sebastian/Agni too, especially when Sebastian seems rather happy about Agni calling him his "friend", since no one's ever called him that before.
* In the anime, Pluto ([[Spell My Name with an "S"|Pleute? Puru?]]) also gets a little bit of this with Sebastian, but that probably doesn't count since he's a [[Squick|dog]]. Who sometimes turns into a very fit, naked man, still with the mind of a dog.
* In the Hamlet OVA, Lau actually gets a bit too intimate with a cross-dressing Undertaker.
* In the second musical, Alan and Eric are really close for 'best friends.'
* Doesn't Sebastian say he finds Ash more attractive than Angela?
* Ciel taking in Snake, despite lying to him that he was looking for his friends {{spoiler|when said friends had attempted to ambush Ciel's mansion and were killed by Ciel's staff.}} However in later chapters, it's shown that Ciel does geniunely care for Snake, such as the brief encouragement he gives to Snake when other people were mocking his appearance. Also, he told Snake to get on the rescue boats in his place.
** The [[Love Bubbles]] (seen [http://mangafox.me/manga/kuroshitsuji/v11/c050/24.html here] ) and later Snake's [http://mangafox.me/manga/kuroshitsuji/v11/c052/11.html blush] don't help. Though that [[Luminescent Blush|blush]] could've been caused by Ciel or Sebastian.
* There is some rather blatant [[Foe Yay]] between Sebastian and Ronald, like in chapter 64 where Sebastian gets ''really'' close to Ronald's face.
** In chapter 10 Rachel, Angela's sister, comments on how pretty she is and gropes her breasts. Angela is said to love her sister "the most".
* In regards to the [[Les Yay|girls]] Grell Sutcliffe a M to F Transsexual Shinigami initially fell in love with Madame Red before she {{spoiler|killed her}} and once commented that she thought Hannah (in the second season of the anime) had a cute/pretty face.
** In the manga, it turns out [[Les Yay]] does in fact exist amidst the sea of [[Ho Yay]]; many fans aren't exactly sure if [[The Fashionista]] Nina Hopkins just has a thing for Mei Rin and kids of both genders, or if she's openly lesbian.
** It's easier to go with the latter when you see [http://www.mangareader.net/102-32907-7/kuroshitsuji/chapter-37.html both] [http://www.mangareader.net/102-32907-8/kuroshitsuji/chapter-37.html of these] sort of things.
*** Turns out she has [http://www.mangareader.net/kuroshitsuji/66/5 quite a thing] for Mei Rin.
** In chapter 10 Angela's sister comments on how pretty she is and gropes her breasts. Angela is said to love her sister "the most".
* In chapter 66 upon finding out that Ciel wasn't having another asthma attack Agni and Soma glomp him in relief.
* In particular Sebastian just naturally has a seductive air about him and tends to cause [[Ho Yay]] a lot.
* In chapter 69 Edgar calls Ciel a "cutie pie" and "cute" and says that he wants to meet Ciel.
