Hey! So, yeah, I felt the urge to write something to get my mind off "Adrift in a Sea of Love (I LOVED THAT STORY AND NOW IT'S OVER!) and I realized that I've only written stuff for Hetalia, VOC LOID and Kingdom Hearts, so here it is! My first published Black Butler fic~ I've written loads of them but I never seem to get around to putting them up here… *shrugs* Oh well~

As usual, I don't own Kuroshitsuji, and I don't really want to either… Too much responsibility~

AND SPOILER WARNING FOR SEASON TWO!

…They all die…

Right, I'll shut up now~

~X~X~X~X~X~X~

Spiders. Such stubborn creatures. They refuse your hand if you offer it to them to rest upon. They tirelessly work alone, striving to create the perfect web, a work of art. Meeting with others only when it serves for their own gain. Prideful, independent spiders…

…But then, all too soon, a greedy crow appears and eats them, ridding the world of one more perfect existence…

This sad fact is true even in human form. A crow appeared and tried to rid the world of my young Highness' presence, all under the orders of a filthy mutt, a broken puppy repeating the same sad trick over and over in a vain attempt to please it's Master. It's Queen.

This crow, however, had a name. Sebastian Michealis. His feathers transformed into shining midnight hair. His wings changed into the elegantly flowing tails of his coat. His beak transformed into a charming face that anyone would love.

Even me.

But no-one can ever know. They will never know. I had to hide my affections under a façade of stoic confidence and a calm temper. I wish that somehow I could have told him, or at least hinted it to him so he was aware of what he did to me every time I saw him. My heart raced, my mind wandered. He drove me crazy. As a demon, I thought I knew what torture was, but now I know that I was gravely mistaken. Torture is not living with the thousands of sins that you committed during your lifetime. It is not watching loved ones die before your very eyes. It is not even watching your life crash and burn around you, taking you down with it into the eternal depths. No. Torture is knowing something can never be, that the one you love most will never feel the same way about you. That however much you pray, you can never truly be happy, because they will never be by your side.

And it tore me apart.

Soon, though, I learnt how to deal with my emotions. I put a lid on them and only let them out when I was alone. Once, after a particularly long day, I even told the Triplets. Despite what I have said about them and accused them of over the years, they are still my closest confidants in this world and always will be, for all the meagre time I have left here.

I was right; I had thought he would be the death of me, and here I am, lying in a cave in a puddle of my own disgusting blood, all because of him. No. Because of his damned Master. I watched him fly gracefully from the cave out into the moonlight to retrieve his prize, the spoilt brat he calls his "Young Master", all the while holding back the first tears that have threatened to fall from my eyes in over a millennium. If it weren't for that bossy child, I wouldn't be here; I wouldn't have to leave him alone in the cruel human realm, stuck in the boring human form that he had assigned to him by the Phantomhive child.

I had truly wished to stay here with him, to rule over the human world together. The havoc we could wreak. All the mayhem we could cause. It makes me shiver just thinking about it, even now. It would be glorious. We could do whatever we pleased and nobody would be able to do anything to stop us. No "Young Master". No "Young Highness". No annoying house servants. No nothing. Just us. It would be heaven. Not that I will ever know what that is like.

I hope that he knows I have dedicated my dying thoughts to him, that every ounce of energy I have has gone towards creating an image of him behind my dulling golden eyes. I want to meet him just once more to tell him this. But that will never happen. The only way I will see him now is when he dies and we can see each other one last time…

… in hell…

~X~X~X~X~X~X~

So yeah, there's a thing… I like how it turned out... I tried to be as depressing as I could, so I think it went all right.

…

Sebastian?! How could you do this to Claude?!

*ahem*

Anyway, hope you liked it, and see you all soon!

P.S; Your reviews make me very happy and I love getting feedback to improve!
