A/N: Hello again, MrsTrancy here, back with chapter 2 of my first FanFic, Ciel's Nightmare. Okay so I'm gonna do the boring bit first this time.
MrsTrancy does NOT own Kuroshitsuji, any of the characters used in this FanFic (unless they are completely made-up and any similarities are completely accidental) and everything belongs to their respectful owner and creator, Yana Tabaso.
Okay, well, I'm actually kinda writing this straight after writing the first chapter? So tomorrow (before I'm allowed to publish because makes noobs wait 2 days ¬.¬) I'll edit and see if any typos need correcting. Ok, Imma go steal Alois Trancy and leave you to read my work. Also, please note that this work is set in two or possibly three POV (Point of View). Sebastian, Normal and Ciel's. I don't know if Ciel's POV is included or not, but whatever.
NOTE: I will NOT be ending "Ciel's Nightmare" in this chapter, because the conflict will take a little longer to resolve. Sorry if you wanted me to finish it here and now, just leave a bad review saying you wanted it shorter or something? Lol, iuno. Well here goes!

Telling You
The darkness was overpowering, and Ciel couldn't move. Those eyes in the distance... They seemed to be drawing him closer and every time he tried to escape, the grip got tighter and tighter. Ciel wanted to wake up, but he knew that this wasn't a dream and the black void was real, this time. He felt a cold breath on the nape of his neck and he tried to look back, but he couldn't. He couldn't do anything, just focus on those eyes. Those crimson eyes were burning, burning brightly. Then he saw it... crawl, crawling towards him, then it pounced. He screamed as hard as he could...
Ciel opened his eyes. He saw Sebastian leaning over him and could sense Meirin (the maid) and Finian (the gardener) standing at the door. Sebastian's eyes looked into his, and they looked genuinly scared for the young boy.
"Bocchan? Are you OK?"
"Se.. Sebastian... I'm fine, what happened?"
"You screamed in your sleep and looked... to put it bluntly, dead. We were worried."
"What... I... Get back to your jobs! NOW!" He sat up, pushing Sebastian out of the way (*) and looking around. The sheets were a mess and his pillow was wet with sweat. Meirin and Finny (as he was so often called) had left the room already and Sebastian had ended his bittersweet, poisonous smile. "Sebastian, why are you still here?"
"Ciel, I want to know what is going on," he replied, he had a dark look in his eyes, and they were... burning red. Similar to those of Ciel's dreams, nightmares even. Could he possibly be the cause of his nightmares? Was he the person who made his dreams dark and made his world seem like a black void, a world devoid of life?
"Sebastian..."
"Bocchan?"
"You... you are the one... You..."
"I what, young master?"
"Ugh, I've been having dreams... nightmares, actually. And I see deep red eyes, similar to..." He dragged off. He didn't want to tell him, he really didn't. What would happen if Sebastian found out about his nightmares? Wait... He can't do anything. I... I am his master Ciel thought to himself. Sebastian gave him a quizzical look, and wanted to know more because he was intrigued.
Sebastian's POV:
Was the young boy honestly about to tell me... I looked at him, concerned. He didn't really want to tell me, but I think I already know what he is going to tell me. It happens every time a Mortal confuses these kinds of emotions, especially young ones such as Ciel.
How could I be so careless? No, it wasn't me that did this. It must be... he must have this emotion and I didn't cause it. I was never careless, I learned how to be proper with my actions and not cause them to feel this way for me; but Ciel... He is so innocent and yet he feels like this, why? I pushed my hand up to my forehead and then Ciel looked back up at me, and he started to speak.
"Sebastian... I... The dreams I have, I see eyes in the dark. Just now... Your eyes looked the same as the ones in my dreams, was it... was it..." He looked up at me. He didn't know what to say, and he certainly was hoping explaining would be simpler, I could see it in his eyes.
Normal POV:
"Was it me in your Dreams, do you wish to ask?" Sebastian asked with a slightly solomn tone.
"I... Yes, was it you?" Ciel asked, standing up off of the side of his bed, but he was still weak, so he wobbled back down. Sebastian sighed and walked over to the bed, where Ciel had sat back down.
"Young Master, this has happened before, it is not rare. But I did not do this. Yes, it is me in your dreams it is a warning. Mortals such as yourself sometimes confuse set emotions with another, especially if they are young. I hate to admit it, but I was never careless with my actions and I am pleased to say that You, Ciel Phantomhive, feel this on your own terms," Sebastian explained.
"What? No... I... I don't feel anything for you! You're a stupid demon! How could I feel sorry or pain or hatred for you?" Ciel asked loudly, pushing his head down onto the now-damp pillow.
"Ciel... You do not feel sorry for me, nor do you feel pain or hatred for me. You..." he sighed, Sebastian didn't want to say it, because the poor boy was embarassed enough.
Ciel's POV:
I didn't want him to know, how could he know, anyway? I pushed my head deeper into the pillow, trying to hide myself from him, but I knew that it was possible for him to know what I felt. I was blushing but... If I tell him instead, maybe he will understand, right? He gets comments and people flirting all the time, right? I pulled myself up and looked at my knees.
"I... think... I think I might love..." my voice trailed off, I had started it, so I had to end it, right? I sighed, looked at him and said it. "I think I love you. There, I said it," I said, then I stood up and tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm to stop me.
Normal POV:
"Ciel..." Sebastian said, at an attempt to calm him. "Ciel... You know and I know that we shouldn't, but I... I fell for you the day you hired me."
Ciel's eyes widened. " But... You... Are you saying you..."
"Love you, yes..." Sebastian let go of Ciel's wrist and let his arms drop by his side, where the lingered before he looked at Ciel. "I... I'm sorry, Bocchan..."
Ciel let his eyes close and then he opened them and laughed a little. "No big problem, right? It's normal because you're so devilishly handsome, right?" He smiled, it was fake and he felt plastic doing it, but he wanted to forget all of it had happened.
"Hai**, Bocchan," Sebastian said, putting a fake smile on. Ciel looked out of the window, the sun hadn't risen yet, it was still way too early to go out or attend to matters that he should see to; and after his and Sebastian's little confession, Ciel needed time to think. Alone. Sebastian walked past Ciel, and he could smell Sebastian. It was... surprisingly sweet considering his moral standing in the world (Demons had to be evil, and corrupted, right?). Ciel stood there, inhaling the sweet scent that lingered in the air and then the scent became musky and then it ended. Ciel sighed and sat on the bed again. His blue and purple (where the Faustian contract is) orbs closed under his eyelids and he looked into his lap.
Can I really love a Demon and could he... actually possibly love me? he thought to himself. He looked up and lay down, wishing the Demon could be with him because he loved the sound of his voice, when poison dripped off of every word, he still somehow wanted him to talk on and on forever. He tossed over, worried but somehow feeling enlightened; and thought about all the times Sebastian had looked at him, ah those eyes. Those beautiful eyes, that beautiful face, that beautiful... man. Ciel held his eyes shut tightly, keeping them shut and watched as the darkness swirled around his vision. That was when he slipped into his nightmare, only this time, it was different. There was no darkness, it wasn't devoid of life. The black had turned into a green floor and a red sky and a black path went on endlessly. Ciel could move this time, too. He slowly began walking down the black path, where he saw... darkness. He was falling, falling through the clouds. No, he was falling... through Hell.
That was when he saw the eyes again, and Sebastian walked out of the shadows, pulling off his white glove.
"Se-Sebastian!" Ciel shouted. Unaware what the butler was actually doing. He was walking closer, but he wasn't trying to kill him. That was when his world shook, like a huge earthquake had destroyed his world and he opened his eyes. Sebastian was leaning over him. Oh. It had been another dream. Ciel was getting pretty tired of all these mind-games and wanted to end them, one way or another.
"My Lord, you shouted me?"
"I.. I shouted you? I... I'm sorry, Sebastian. I'm f-fine, as you can see," Ciel replied shakily, then he pulled Sebastian's hand and said: "I had another nightmare. Make them stop! Make them stop, Sebastian!" he shouted and pulled Sebastian's hand up to his chest and tears rolled down his pale cheeks. "Make them stop!"
"My Lord... I... I'm afraid I cannot...Even if I tried, it would ultimately result in your death, I... I'm sorry, my Ciel," he replied, this time it was genuine care. The young boy who was so notorious for being cold and emotionless had become a scared and vulnerable child who was scared of a nightmare.

A/N: Oh I did enjoy writing that! I hope you like it! Well, its 5:45 in the morning, time to proof-read Chapter 1 and then play some Xbox :D. I hope you enjoyed reading it, and I'm so sorry if you really like Ciel and don't want him called a "vulnerable child" but those words tied in with the next chapter and the next chapter is the end *everyone says boo!*, and so hopefully when these are uploaded, You'll review. ^^ Anyhow, I have to do these boring asterisk sign meanings now... Grr, so here you go!
* I fell asleep halfway through typing that word and I thought I should mention it, that is probably why my Work randomly changed phases and went from good to bad or bad to good or something, Anyway, I hope my sloppiness didn't effect your reading!
** Hai means Yes in Japanese, I typed it in Romanji because if you can't read Japanese, it would totally destroy the pleasure of actually reading. Well, I can't type the actual Japanese because AbiWord can't process it and it becomes a random square ¬.¬ Stupid AbiWord.
