I don't own black butler or the song "So Far Away"- By A7X


Ciel Phantomhive sighed contentedly as he grasped the Microphone in his small hands. He snapped his fingers and the music began to play, his voice like velvet pouring out with such emotion the audience was stunned into silence, many of them moved to tears.

"Never feared for anything, never shamed but never free

A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly, saw beyond what others see

I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay? Will you stay away forever?

Sebastian Michaelis stared up at the boy on stage before him, yearning to hold the fragile frame in his arms. The realization of this desire shocked him, he hated famous rich brats didn't he? He hated those who were selfish, greedy, and self-centered, Ciel Phantomhive was exactly that, wasn't he? Hearing so much emotion in the young male's voice made him begin to re-think his first impression of the boy.

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book its burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Ciel let all the pain of his tortured life flood his voice and take hold of him, singing was the only time he let himself feel anything at all. Familiar faces flashing past his closed eyes, his mother, his father, his aunt Ann, his cousin Elizabeth, his friends... all gone now.

Plans of what our futures hold, foolish lies of growing old

It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold

A final song, a last request, a perfect chapter laid to rest

Now and then I try to find a place in my mind

Where you can stay, you can stay awake forever

Sebastian looked up at the black winged angel on the stage, he had never really given the boy a chance had he? He'd only met him today after all, for the photo shoot, he'd seemed so arrogant and haughty, selfish and cold, Sebastian had instantly disliked him, Sebastian had been through so much pain himself, and he hated those who only thought of themselves, selfish bastards had been the reason he lost everything he'd ever loved, so why did he care about this selfishly cold boy? This angel who had, with a smile on his face, claimed love was a weakness for foolish people.

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book its burned

Place and time always on my mind

I have so much to say but you're so far away

Ciel looked straight at the raven haired man before him, he didn't know why, but, his heart began to warm again, all the pain faded away and only love was left, like a comforting embrace. His heart of ice began to melt, all because of the crimson eyed man watching him. Love was a weakness, this was the viscious lie Ciel told himself every morning when he awoke, and every night as he slipped into a nightmare filled sleep. That lie was broken down by what he felt now, for the man who he'd only met today. Love was a foolish thing, but it was powerful.

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid

The ones that we love are here with me

Lay away a place for me

'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way

To live eternally

Sebastian couldn't help but notice the pain in the blue eyes of the boy, those open shining sapphires showed every real emotion Ciel had, he watched the pain melt away, leaving behind a love so deep in shocked Sebastian to his very core. He knew in that instant, he would never allow pain to enter those sapphire flames ever again, he would never allow another to hold his black winged angel, and he would never allow a tear of sadness slip down those porcelain cheeks.

How do I live without the ones I love?

Time still turns the pages of the book its burned

Place and time always on my mind

And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay

When I have so much to say and you're so far away

Ciel felt his heart hammer watching those ruby eyes stare at him with such intensity and emotion, his small body shivered and he simply gripped the microphone tighter, pouring his heart, his soul, his love, his pain, and all himself into the next verse, falling to his knees as all his strength escaped with the words.

I love you, you were ready

The pain is strong enough despise

But I'll see you when he lets me

Your pain is gone, your hands are tied

Sebastian stared possessively at the angel on his knees, knowing as soon as the song was over the spell would be complete and his heart would forever belong to the blue-grey haired beauty before him, and soon he would possess the heart of his angel, and no other would ever take his angel away from him.

So far away and I need you to know

So far away and I need you to, need you to know

Ciel's voice faded away, the sweet final note hanging in the air before vanishing, carried off to heaven for the gods to hear. He dropped the microphone and stood defiantly, he was Ciel Phantomhive, and he would live on.
