I feel really bad for ignoring my other stories but things keep happening… mainly writer's block… and it won't go away… so I try something different. And, whenever I have time at school… I write. Like this? I wrote this is geometry over the course of a week. Because geometry is easy. (But no one thinks I can keep up because I'm the youngest, smallest freshman, at only 13 years old, and they're mainly sophomores about to get their driver's licenses. But boy, will I prove them wrong. XD)

Disclaimer: Sebastian: Not mine. Ciel: Not mine. Simple enough?

"Do you ever consider leaving me?"

The demon turned around from his current position by the door, ready to leave his master for the night, "Leaving you? Whatever brought this on, my lord?"

Ciel scowled, though it did nothing to hide his adorableness, "I asked you a question. Just answer it."

Sebastian sighed and took a couple steps to place the candelabra on the dresser. He moved closer to his master still before replying, "No, I would never even dream of leaving you. You should know that."

"Is that just because you don't sleep in the first place?"

The jet-black haired man chuckled, "Of course not, it's a figure of speech. What I mean is, no, I don't consider leaving you, I don't plan on leaving you, and I will never leave you. I'll be with you until the end."

The response came quickly, as if it had been rehearsed, "What if I ordered you to leave me?"

Sebastian, always attempting to keep up with his master and his slightly perplexing questions, answered, "Then I would leave you, but stay close enough to watch over you and protect you if need be."

"What if I give you permission to leave?

"I would choose to stay."

"Sebastian, you have my permission to leave right now, and never come back. What are you going to do?"

"With all due respect, sir, I'd prefer to stay by your side."

"Sebastian, why do you stay with me?"

Growing weary of his master's beating around the bush, Sebastian questioned, "What's with the sudden questions, young master?"

Ciel glared from his spot on his bed, "Don't respond to a question with a question. I've allowed you to leave me, so why do you stay?"

Though startled by the intensity of this particular question, Sebastian didn't allow it to show, instead shrugging and acting as if it didn't matter, "My lord, you know full well that we're bonded together until the end. Whenever that may be, I'll with you."

Ciel was obviously expecting this answer, "So you stay because of the contract."

Sebastian blinked, "You wish for me to tell you the truth, correct?"

"Always."

"Yes, I stay because of the contract."

Ciel closed his eyes in slight fatigue… or was it hurt? "I knew that. You don't stay because of any emotions or feelings you may have towards me, correct?"

This conversation shouldn't be happening and Sebastian was unsure of why he was letting it continue, "Not quite. I stay because of the contract, but also for something else."

The young earl's eyes flashed open, a light purple glow emanating from his contracted eye, lighting the room slightly, "And what may that something else be?"

Sebastian smirked and cocked his head slightly, "If I tell you, will you go to sleep now? You are, after all, my young master."

Ciel growled at the emphasis on the word 'young' but decided arguing about it would delay his answer, "Fine. Whatever. Just tell me. Sebastian Michaelis, why do you stay with me?"

The demon crossed to the door, picking up the candles on the way out. His gloved fingers were on the door before he decided to answer, "I stay because I love you."

And he was gone.

Don't fangirl out right now! There's a couple more chapters coming and Ciel may experience his first heartbreak. I know this chapter focused mainly on their conversation but we'll dive into their feelings very, very soon. Review if you feel like it! See you later people!
