Author's Notes: My first Kuroshitsuji fanfic! I hope it's okay. And hopefully, I got the personality right.

"Why did you keep me alive?" I asked. I was shocked. We've agreed on the contract, and I was willing to give you my end of the deal. But you backed away. You didn't accept it.

Why, Sebastian? Why?

"Young master..."

"Tell me why, Sebastian!" I yell. The volume of my voice surprised me a little bit. Have I always been this demanding, Sebastian? "I need to know why."

You turn around to face me, a smile on your face. That same smile. But there was something slightly different. I can't quite tell what it is. It's your smile, I know, but there's something else. Was it... Sincere? An actual sincere smile?

"Young master, you are different from all the other humans I've seen."

How many humans have you seen? How many humans have you worked for? How many humans have you protected for the sake of eating them afterwards?

We are all the same, you said to me once. So how am I different, Sebastian?

There was still a smile on your face. You knew what was going on in my mind, didn't you?

"Where are you going?" I ask. You were walking away from me before I had asked my first question.

... Don't leave me.

"The contract... Is finished, Young master. And I have committed a grave sin. I must go."

"To hell?"

You chuckled. "Yes."

"Will I see you again?"

"Perhaps."

Perhaps? That wasn't what I wanted to hear. You may not believe me, Sebastian. But I need you. It won't be the same without you by my side. Without you to talk to, without you to argue with, without you to order around...

Without you to be one hell of a butler.

Would you chastise me for being so dependent on you?

You turn around again and started walking away. It was starting to get dark, and I see your frame fading away slowly.

It's too soon. You can't leave me, Sebastian. Not yet.

"Goodbye, Young master."

"Sebastian!"

You stopped walking but didn't turn around. You were listening, weren't you?

"If the contract is broken, why do you still call me that?"

Your shoulders moved up and down. I knew you were chuckling again. "Because you'll always be 'young master' to me."

"Did you have other masters? Will you have other masters?" Why am I asking so many questions? Stalling? Just for you to stay? Just so that I could spend a little more time with you?

Stupid Ciel. Foolish Ciel.

You start walking again. "Goodbye, Ciel."

It seems I've lost this little game of stalling. And all I could do was stare as your figure slowly faded away.

Sebastian, I'm missing you already.
