People say eyes are the window to the soul. If that was true, Ciel was an open book. The young babe looked up at him, innocently...as if he, dare he say it, loved and trusted him. Then again the babe was young, hardly knowing anything. Sebastian pulled Ciel closer to his chest, just below his chin. Ciel tried to grip Sebastian, but failed since he was weak...weaker then normal. Buried his nose in the sweet-smelling locks. "Hush, little one. It'll be alright."
Ciel give a loopy smile and cooed at Sebastian. He swallowed. This babe was too...sweet to be a demon's mate. Ciel's eyes glittered in the moonlight. Sebastian tore his gaze away from the beautiful child and walked on, bouncing the boy in his arms. Maybe if he placed the child in a human home, then he would be safe. He came upon a mansion. Sebastian sighed. He didn't want to leave the poor baby but he had no choice. He needed to keep his young mate safe. This was the only way. "I love you." whispered Sebastian as he laid the child down in the crib, in the Phantomhive manner, softly. "Don't worry. I'll watch over you, my little Ciel. I won't let you become like me. You will grow up with friends and a family, people who care about you. I won't let your heart become stone, even if it means we will never again meet in this life, your human life, my darling."
As the demon kissed Ciel one last time, something like a tear fell from Sebastian's eye, he brushed it away as he vanished into the darkness of the night. As he disappeared, he did not see the tear like drop land on the baby's cheek, waking him from his dreamless sleep. The boy was starled by the coldness. His eyes widened. He was no longer Ciel, the demon's mate; he was Ciel Phantomhive, Earl of Phantomhive
