Finally, the sequel to "Still Somebody's Master" has begun! Please enjoy the story~
Sebastian Michaelis had thought that leaving Ciel alone would teach him a lesson, true. And that it would make them less close to each other's hearts, allowing Sebastian to kill Ciel when it came that time - which had been very close, anyway. It was supposed to be good for their sanity…
Unfortunately, that backfired when, in his absence, Ciel met another demon to watch after him. Not only was he just as good a butler, but he took care of the little Earl who, at the time, had been all but heartbroken by Sebastian's disappearance. It wasn't that he hadn't waited, hadn't bothered looking for Sebastian, just that after time had passed, he'd given up and moved on. It aws t obe expected, really…
Despite the expectation value that it should have had, Sebastian Michaelis couldn't help being furious with his master - who hadn't quite broken the contract, either, just left their half-assed relationship and told him to stay away. Actually, he wasn't even sure that it had ever been a relationship, officially speaking, but nevertheless…
The point is that he was hurt and, when he finally did find Ciel Phantomhive again, he was already in the arms of Claude Faustus. When flat out lying hadn't worked, he'd tried something closer to the truth, but it was useless, so finally Sebastian had stooped to trickery - which backfired as well, resulting in a broken door, an angry spider, and a human boy that wanted even less to do with his former butler. Thus, Ciel was pushed further away from Sebastian and closer to Claude, resulting in the first of many 'I love you's.
And that's where our story left off, it seems. Sebastian alone, Ciel admitting his love to another demon, and Claude taking his lover home for a well-deserved cup of tea. What happens to them now, we'll have to wait and see…
