A/N: I would like to thank the lovely bocchanismine for helping me with this fanfic I'm writing. Thank you again!

Sebastian wandered the halls aimlessly, still focusing on the recent discussion between him and Satan.

"You have to leave by tomorrow morning."

He barely had time to say goodbye to Ciel and the others. As much as he hates to admit it, he would miss them. He's never met any mortals that were even close to the people he met. What would he do without Tanaka following him around the manor? He's gotten used to the chaos that happened on a daily basis. He would miss that little blue-haired boy that ordered him about all day. For a better soul, he would never find.

Since Satan didn't tell him who his new master was, he figured that he already found one for him which made Sebastian even more uneasy knowing that. He would have to tell him tonight, when he was going to sleep, it would be less painful than not telling him at all.

Speaking of Ciel, the bell rang, signaling that his young master wanted something from him. Taking a deep breath, he walked into his study.

"You called for me, Young Master?"

Ciel gave a curt nod.

"Yes, I did."

"Is there something you need?"

"Yes. I am feeling a bit peckish, what is for dinner today?"

Dinner. Sebastian had completely forgotten about Ciel's dinner! While his master may not see, Sebastian was ashamed. What kind of butler would he be if he did not make dinner for his young master? Especially since this would be the last meal he would ever cook for him.

"Sincerest apologies my lord, I have not gotten around to dinner preparations yet, do forgive me."

Ciel raised an eyebrow.

"Sebastian?"

"Yes, my lord?"

"Are you alright? You seem a bit...distant, and forgetting dinner isn't like you."

Sebastian bowed his head to show the shame that he was feeling at the moment.

"I...I will tell you tonight, before you go to bed."

"Why can't you just tell me now?"

He still couldn't believe it himself. This is going to be one of the last times they were ever going to talk. He just wanted to savor the moment.

"I don't want to upset you before your meal."

Ciel just stared at him. Whatever the butler had to say seemed important. Though, as much as he didn't want to wait, he would need to. He sat back into his chair and sighed.

"Fine, just go make dinner."

Sebastian picked his head back up and bowed slightly.

"Yes, my lord."

He turned to walk away and prepare dinner. He almost didn't want to do it.

In the kitchen, Sebastian was busy at work. He was slicing, chopping, cutting, and cooking Ciel's dinner. It was almost a matter of time until Mey-Rin came crashing into the kitchen, breaking every plate that she was carrying. Sebastian just sighed, he couldn't believe that he was going to miss this.

"Mey-Rin, dear, do try to be more careful. There will come a time where I won't be able to clean up after you anymore."

Mey-Rin stood up, the blush on her cheeks matching her hair.

"I'm sorry, I am."

"It's okay."

Even Mey-Rin could see that there was something wrong with Sebastian. Bard, and Finny came running into the kitchen, interrupting her thoughts.

"Mey-Rin!" Bard shouted.

"Are you alright?!" Finny asked.

Mey-Rin's blush grew even more.

"Yes, yes I'm alright."

Sebastian acted as if they weren't even there! That made Bard and Finny a little confused. Usually he would yell at them to get back to work, but he didn't even turn his gaze to them. The trio stared at him with an awkward air about them.

"Um...Sebastian?"

He looked up at them with a smile.

"Yes?"

Bard was the one to speak for the other two.

"Don't you want to...I don't know...tell us to get to work?"

Sebastian shook his head and went back to cutting.

"I'm sure you guys completed your day's work. Why? Do I need to yell at you?"

They all shook their heads frantically.

"We were just wondering, we were."

Sebastian looked back up at them with a puzzled expression. Then, with a shake of the head he chuckled and said, "Get back to work."

They all smiled and gave a salute.

"Yes, sir!", they said in Unison. They then ran out of the kitchen to go do whatever they had to do before nightfall. When they left the kitchen was far enough from Sebastian, Finny asked, "Is Sebastian alright?"

"Yeah, he was...smiling at us."

"Maybe he was just in a good mood?"

They all looked at each other and then shook their head and went back to their duties.

Sebastian focused on the food again.

"This is the last time I'm going to tell them that."

He was surprised at himself. He's going to miss a bunch of squishy mortals. They did nothing but give him extra work and give him headaches. It will be different not having them run around and cause destruction everywhere they went. Hell, he might even miss Pluto's constant whining to sleep inside the house for once. He even walked in his room to find the demon hound sleeping on his bed, or torturing his beloved cats. Sebastian still didn't even think about how he was going to tell his master. Would Ciel get mad at him? Would he let him leave? There were so many questions the demon asked himself.

"Hopefully Ciel will understand..."

After dinner, Sebastian gave Ciel his bath and then got him all dressed for bed.

"Alright Young Master, is that sufficient?"

"Yes, it is good enough."

"I'm glad you find it satisfactory."

Sebastian and Ciel just stood there and stared at each other uncomfortably. Sebastian grabbed the candle-stick and turned around.

"Well then, have a nice night, my lord."

When Sebastian opened the door, Ciel called out after him.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Sebastian didn't turn to face him. He couldn't.

"I...I was just going to finish up my nightly duties."

"You hesitated when you said that. What has you troubled?"

That was new to the demon. Ciel asked him about what was bothering him. The boy never cared about that before. Sebastian sighed and closed the door, looking back at him.

"Ciel...today Satan had a talk with me."

Ciel sat up in bed.

"Sounds dire. What about?"

Being a demon, Sebastian didn't know how to sugar coat so he just came out with the truth.

"He feels like I'm too attached to you and so he wants me to find a new master."

"A new master..."

"Yes my lord. I have to leave tomorrow morning."

Sebastian couldn't place Ciel's face. His face was very stoic so it was hard to place his emotions sometimes. Ciel's vocal expression didn't help either.

"Do you know who your new master is?"

"No my lord. I will find out tomorrow."

Ciel just glared at his butler for a long while. It was if he was frozen, posed like a doll in the bed that was way too big for him. Sebastian was patiently awaiting his response. After what felt like an eternity, Ciel finally spoke.

"Well then, hopefully the master can benefit from your talents."

Sebastian couldn't believe the words he said. Was Ciel really that indifferent to him?

"I might never see you again."

"We've had a good run."

Sebastian didn't know what to feel. Why was he feeling anything anyway? Was he expecting anything different from Ciel? Not wanting to say anything to upset the young master, he opened the door again.

"I have to go and pack. Sleep well, my lord."

With that, Sebastian closed the door and went to his room to pack what few possessions he has. When Ciel was sure that he was gone, he laid back in bed and frowned to himself. He would never let his butler see him act like the child he was. It was disgracing the Phantomhive name. Of course he was upset about his butler's leaving. Sebastian was the closest thing he's had to family for the past three years, even though he was only around to eat his soul. Though what Sebastian said had him thinking.

Was he really "too attached" to Ciel?
