…
The next morning, Ciel had woken up to the curtains being drawn to the sides. He squinted his eyes and groaned as the light was too bright for his groggy eyes. He couldn't help but think that this was all too familiar to him, had he experience this in the past? He can't recall the time, but now that he was disturbed of his peaceful slumber, he opened his eyes revealing his butler standing right at the foot of his bed.
"Time to wake up, young master." Sebastian said as usual, making Ciel close his eyes and go deep into thought once again, this was familiar to him as well. He was brought back to reality when Sebastian suddenly placed his hand on Ciel's forehead, a worried look graced his face. "Is the young master not feeling well?" To how close Sebastian was now to Ciel made the boy slightly blush, shaking his head and making Sebastian pull his hand away. "I see, never mind then." Sebastian smiled, he walked away to get Ciel's breakfast on the cart that was near the nightstand. Ciel kept asking himself why these were all so familiar to him, yet he did not know much about the butler named Sebastian.
Ciel sat up so that he could receive his breakfast that Sebastian made for him, indeed, it was familiar. He kept thinking the same thing, he took a small bite of what seemed to be a poached salmon with a small pinch of lemon juice, then he gasped, was this de javu?! "It's delicious." Ciel commented after gaping in awe at his thoughts. He slightly glanced at Sebastian and caught that he was smirking, he quickly looked away and continued to eat his breakfast.
'Of course it is delicious, if I couldn't do this, then what kind of a butler would I be?' Sebastian thought as he picked up the now empty plate of his young master. "Young Master, today, since you are not yourself at the moment, no schedules are made that are related to work or lessons. The only thing you must do is to hear out what I told you last night." Sebastian placed the plate back on the small cart and turned back to his young master.
"You mean about what you are supposed to tell me when I wake up?" Ciel asked as he was now being dressed by his butler. 'Here comes de javu again.'Ciel thought, Sebastian, now doing the finishing touches to his young master's outfit, nodded in comfirmation. "When will you tell me?" Ciel asked once more, Sebastian stood up and smiled, earning a curious look from his young master.
"Whenever you want me to, my lord, if you order me to say it, then I will do as told, but I doubt that you will believe a word I am going to say." Sebastian said as he bowed down to Ciel. Ciel just threw him a small pout that made Sebastian smile inwardly, then spoke.
"I won't order you to do so, but please tell me now, I want to know more…" Ciel looked down, his gaze meeting his kneeling butler's. "…I want to know more about this thing in my eye…" Ciel raised his right hand and softly placed it above his right eye, the pentagram was glowing slightly Sebastian noticed. "…I want to know more about why I don't remember you….and I want to know more about the history of us that I had forgotten." Sebastian's eyes went wide, this was interesting, not being ordered to do something by his master was indeed amusing him, and by what his young master said just made his heart beat a tad bit faster. Sebastian smiled and stood up, he knew that he didn't have the right to do so, but, he sat beside Ciel, the bed shifting at his weight.
"As you wish…" Sebastian said as he faced Ciel once again, his eyes roaming around his young master's face. "…let's see….you weren't supposed to be in this state. Yesterday, you were acting strange, and I didn't know why then. I only found out you were not yourself when you suddenly said weird things and the earrings you are wearing." Ciel raised his hands to feel his ears, and there he felt the said earrings. "Those aren't just your average earrings but they are the Black Rubies. They were made by the lord of the demon realm, Satan, himself. It seemed that he managed to put them on you as a gift for me he said. That made me mad because it made you have cat features which I like but it also made you act as if you were a cat in heat." Sebastian slightly blushed at the thought when Ciel blushed furiously that day. "I tried to take the earrings off but I failed. No matter how much I asked Satan to take them off, he would say that it would ruin the fun, he said that your way of reacting to the effects to the Black Rubies and myself, will be his entertainment." To this, Ciel's eyes went wide.
"Satan? He made me have these things?!" Ciel pointed to his cat ears and tail, Sebastian nodded. "So, these so called Black Rubies, they were made by Satan and made me act weird?" Sebastian nodded again. "You said that there were side effects right? Me, not remembering you, is that one of them?"
"Perhaps it is. I still have to uncover the rest of the Black Rubies secrets before I find out how to take them off, I guess." Sebastian said as he stared intently into Ciel's Sapphire eyes, until these orbs suddenly glinted as if he had something in mind. "Young Master? Do you have something on your mind?"
"Sebastian, what if I'll be the one to try and take them off?" Ciel looked at Sebastian for any sign of protest but the butler just had a thinking expression before nodding to test it out. Ciel brought both of his hands' fingers to try and prop the earrings off, but when he was merely a few centimeters away, he was flinched his hands away, it felt as if he got electrocuted.
"Ow!" Ciel winced at his now burnt fingers. Sebastian now had a worried expression on his features. Ciel had tears forming at the corner of his eyes at the pain, both his index and middle fingers were badly burnt. "I-I don't w-want to do that a-again." Ciel barely said, Sebastian quickly got a roll of bandage and wrapped it around Ciel's two fingers.
"I'm sorry young master, for having top get you hurt like this." Sebastian whispered softly, he could just cry right now that he actually confirmed Ciel to be able to try his theory and end up in pain. "I'm so sorry." Sebastian suddenly hugged the weeping boy and stroked his hair in a comforting manner. "We won't try that again. I'm sorry." Ciel was blushing furiously, his tears were kept at bay because of the sudden intimacy that his butler was showing him.
"S-sebastian, I'm alright." Ciel now said bravely. Sebastian pulled back from the hug and placed a gloved hand at the side Ciel's face, asking if he was sure. Ciel just nodded and then both of them completely broke off all intimate connections. A silent moment filled the atmosphere between the two until Ciel remembered something, he faced Sebastian again who still had a sad expression on. Ciel patted his butler's back, earning a slight gasp from Sebastian. "Sebastian, you haven't told me everything yet. You still have to tell me about this thing in my eye." Ciel said with a still slightly flustered expression still present in his features. Sebastian turned his head to meet his young master's gaze.
"But young master, are you sure you want to know more after having been hurt?" Sebastian stared at the bandaged fingers of his young master, his chest was tightening as he imagined how his master was suffering again. "Can I tell it to you later this evening instead? It seems that I am not prepared to say anything else at the moment." Sebastian said unconsciously. Ciel understood by what his butler meant, could he have been hurt by seeing Ciel in pain a while ago?
"Alright Sebastian, you may go." Sebastian stood and bowed, as he was about to exit, he heard his young master say a few more words until he was out of earshot. "Until this evening then, Sebastian."
