After Sebastian had left him sitting on the ground in front of the coffee, Ciel finally stood up and walked home through a haze of fatigue and tears. When he finally got back to his apartment, he stumbled into his bedroom and immediately fell asleep. Normally demons don't require sleep, but because he has never eaten someone's soul, sleeping is the only way Ciel can manage to keep up his minimal amount of energy.
After he had walked into the darkness, leaving Ciel behind once again, Sebastian immediately walked into a nearby alley and broke down in a fit of tears and emotionally pained screams. The one and only person he ever cared about, hates him because he thinks that Sebastian tried to kill him. Sebastian couldn't even get mad at Ciel, let alone try to kill him.
Ciel fell immediately into a deep sleep and began dreaming of the night he became a demon. But instead of Sebastian leaving him, he stayed and continued to be with Ciel. Even in his unconscious state, Ciel began to cry at the thought. That very day he lost two things: his humanity and someone he deeply cared for. "Mmm…Sebastian….please don't…leave me…," he mumbled in his sleep.
After he got out of the alley, Sebastian began heading home. A small house in a deeply Christian neighborhood. When he first got the place, he laughed at the irony of the whole situation, a devil living next door to a follower of God. Now, he could barely breathe, let alone laugh. He was walking home when he heard the faint call of his name in his head. He told himself he was just imagining it out of sadness. But he kept hearing it so he followed it to until he came to a small apartment complex. He could sense that Ciel was there, so he followed the voice until it brought him under a balcony. Checking to see if anybody was watching, Sebastian jumped up and landed quietly on the railing. He looked through the window to see Ciel sleeping peacefully. This made him stop and calm down a bit. Silently, he opened the window and stepped inside the boy's room. It had this smell that he just loved so much. Just like bitter tea and roses.
Ciel slept quietly while dreaming of his life as a new demon. "Sebastian…please…don't go…," he would whisper. He couldn't stand losing the one he loved, even in his dreams. When Ciel was still human, he used to watch Sebastian when he was working. Whether it was serving him tea or working in the garden, he was constantly amazed at how Sebastian always managed to do it with such grace and how he always looked so beautiful. He loved how Sebastian would talk. His voice always sounded smooth and alluring, but also slightly dangerous. He loved hoe he would comfort him when his nightmares returned. He loved his smell, just like cinnamon. And mostly, he loved Sebastian's eyes. They were brown at a glance, but when you truly looked into them, they would turn into a beautiful deep red.
Those eyes would make Ciel melt whenever they were on him and his heart beat whenever they got close to his. He had fallen in love with his butler, and he hated himself for it. He knew Sebastian didn't return those feelings because he was just a meal. That's why it hurt so much when he left him to die.
Hearing his voice being called genuinely surprised the demon. He wouldn't have ever thought that he would be in Ciel's dreams. He was confused by how desperate Ciel sounded when he said for him not to go. 'Could it be that he returns my feelings?' Sebastian thought as he heard that. Eventually, he shook his head and told himself it was just wishful thinking. He looked at the beautiful boy, one that had caused him so much pain, on the bed.
He stared at his angelic face and wished he could bring a smile to it. He looked at his lips and wished he could kiss them. He looked at his closed eyes and imagined the color blue that one of them is and the glowing violet the other is. He thought about how the violet holds a contract that bonds them together for eternity. He was glad that they shared something together that nobody could taint of take away from them.
His eyes traveled along his body, watching his chest rise and fall with steady breaths. He wished he would feel Ciel's heartbeat against his own chest. He looked at how slender Ciel's arms and legs were and wished he could hold his thin frame against him forever so he could protect him.
Ciel awoke slightly from his sleeping state just to sit up, stretch, and lay back down. Still completely unaware of Sebastian's presence in his room, he began to think aloud. "Why did he leave me? Why did he even change me? I am so hungry I'm probably going to starve to death." He eventually talked himself back to sleep and fell into a deep slumber filled with darkness.
Sebastian, still in Ciel's room, had been watching and listening to everything. After watching the boy sleep for a few more hours, he finally got up from where he was resting and noiselessly walked over to the bed. Staring at Ciel's peaceful face, he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to his forehead. "I love you," he whispered before he jumped off the balcony, into the soft light of the early morning.
