SEBASTIAN POV

This isn't fair.Sebastian was humiliated. He wasn't supposed to be serving some demon kid. He was supposed to be the demon being served. Sure, he admits that Ciel had grown on him. Sebastian didn't mind when Ciel was human. He could almost say he truly cared, maybe even felt a bit of love, for the young master. Never would he admit it out loud, but those feelings were definitely there. Ever since Ciel awoke as a demon, Sebastian didn't really know what to say to him anymore. Things felt…different. It's like their bond was lost.

Sebastian sighed as he knocked on the door to his master's office. I shouldn't be caring about these things. Hearing the command to enter, he proceeded to walk in to serve his master tea. I'm one of the strongest demons still alive, there's no time for such silly human emotions.Why did he feel so uneasy telling himself that?

CIEL POV

This was getting out of hand. Ciel knew Sebastian didn't want to serve him. They didn't have any of those moments like they used to. No words ever really passed between them. This is so depressing.

Maybe I should just end the contract.He sure as hell knew he didn't want to lose Sebastian, but it was no fair to the man if he gave into his selfish needs. Ciel had a feeling the man was in the higher rank of demons and felt absolutely humiliated. Though...Sebastian was the only thing he had. He was too full of pride to admit that his butler was the only important being in his life right now.

Ciel shook his head. This is so pathetic and frustrating!It was almost as if he loved the man...wait. What? Ciel Phantomhive – head of the Phantomhive house – only 13 years of age – in love with a demon butler? This thought was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Come in."

SEBASTIAN POV

As Sebastian rolled the cart in, he noticed that Ciel was thinking very hard about something. Sebastian poured the invisible tea into a cup and set it in front of his master. Why do we continue going on like this? Ciel switched his gaze from the window to the cup that was just placed before him. He didn't pick it up, he just stared at it. Now this was strange."Sebastian." Ciel's voice startled him. He gave a puzzled look at the boy sitting in the chair. These past few months they haven't spoken a word except for simple commands and such.

"Yes, my lord?" There was a long pause before Ciel spoke again. "Do you want to stay or do you want to go?" Ciel's words came out a bit shakey, but Sebastian took no notice because he was more focused on the deep blue eye that was focused on his red ones. The boy was beautiful, but his eye sent him a look of true loss. "Pardon?", as if he didn't hear. But the next statement Ciel made was 110% clear: "If you truly want to go, I will end this contract and you will be free of me."

CIEL POV

It hurt to say those words because he already knew the answer he was going to get. No more Sebastian.His heart was pounding in his chest, almost as if he couldn't breathe. Sebastian was silent but finally spoke, "Would you really do that for me, master?"

I would do anything for you.He wanted to say even though it was pretty ridiculous. Mostly he wanted to act like the child he was and hold onto Sebastian crying 'Please don't leave me! I need you!' Such things were pathetic and Ciel didn't want to make a fool of himself. Even though he knew he wasn't going to be aging physically, he would still mature in a way and understood he needed to keep an image in front of this man.

"I…I command you to end this contract." Once he spoke those words, Ciel wanted to cry. Why was he acting so emotionally for a demon? More silence. Finally Sebastian gave a slight bow. "Yes, my lord." Ciel closed his eyes a prepared for something big to happen, but nothing did. Until he felt a pair of lips to his forehead. "Thank you, Ciel."

Before he could utter a word, everything went black.

Few hours later.

Ciel awoke. He felt miserable. Just as he was about to call for Sebastian, it hit him. Ciel got up and ran to the nearest mirror he could find. His stomach tied in knots and he started to shake as he stared at his eye patch. Finally, he gulped and slowly started to lift it. I can handle this.

He opened his eye. A pair of deep blue eyes sent him a look of sadness. Oh god…Ciel fell down to his knees and for the first time in years…

He cried.
