Sebastian looked around the darkened place, a stone bench sat in front of him. He knew this place all too well by now. He fell to his knees as the pain began to fill him.

"I cannot take this pain, why must it continue to fill my heart?"

"Sebastian." Ciel called suddenly appearing on the bench. Anger was visible on his face.

"Ciel, I was so -"

"This is your fault you know." He said coldly.

"Ciel, I can't tell you how painful this is for me to know -"

"Painful for you, what about me, I died because of you, you left me alone and I died. If it wasn't for you, I'd still be alive. I'd be grown and have the life I should have had!" He shouted.

"I wanted nothing more than to give you that life, that's why I left. Please try to understand." Sebastian pleaded.

"You knew I couldn't look after myself and you left, you failed me. You failed in your job to protect me. Where were you when I needed you Sebastian, watching from the bloody rooftop while the fire took over everything?"

"Ciel, I came back to you."

"By then it was too late. You let me die, you deserve to feel this pain." The words cut into his heart.

"Please Ciel, I love you so much."

"what do you know about love,who could ever love a thing like you?"Ciel crossed his arms over his chest.

"No one, I-You don't understand,I died with you in so many ways." Sebastian replied as the tears began to fall.

"Is that right,why would you let my soul be taken by another, you never cared. You wanted to torture me, an eternity with something like you,you're a monster and that's all you will ever be. This is your fault and I won't ever forgive you. You have to live with what you did to me. I'll be a constant reminder of how badly you failed,every time you look at me, you're going to know." Sebastian opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a gun being fired. He looked up to find Ciel lying on the ground. His face was pale and his clothes were stained in crimson.

"Ciel!" The older demon cried out.

Sebastian let out a loud roar that quickly was replaced by an sorrowful cry.

"Sebastian." Ciel called again, this time from behind him. The tone was much more gentle than before. The older demon turned from the body to the young demon now kneeling at his side.

"Ciel, I -I'm sorry sorry." Sebastian sobbed. Ciel wrapped his arm around Sebastian pulling him closer so that the former butler was resting his head on the boy's chest.

"I failed you, how could you possibly love such a beast, I caused -"

"But that isn't right is it, you have to let that go. You'll stop coming here if you just let go. I'm here with you now. I do love you and it's not your fault, that's all wrong. I love you." He said softly.

"But you were just telling me how -"

"No. That wasn't me, it's your own fear and guilt. I'm right here and I always will be."

"Y-you truly believe that I didn't -"

"You did what you thought would be best for me. You couldn't have known what would happen. "

"I should have stayed at your side, i-" Ciel had forced Sebastian to look at him, he placed a hand on the older demon's cheek and kissed him.

"It's all over now Sebastian. I love you and I'm right here with you." He said kissing him once wrapped his arms around Ciel and ran his fingers through the boy's hair.

"You are so precious to me, never go where I cannot get you back." Sebastian pleaded.

"Never." Ciel promised still holding onto him.

"Master Ciel, is he alright, I heard the most horrific - was he having a nightmare?" Cynna asked noticing Ciel holding Sebastian's hand and stroking his black hair.

"It has to be a nightmare, it was last time he made that sound. I spoke to him and now he seems to be calm. As if he heard me in his sleep ."

"Perhaps he did. He's been known to speak during sleep." Cynna added.

"Ciel?" Sebastian called out, the young demon looked to Cynna.

"Go on." The demon butler encouraged.

"Ciel,where are you"" Sebastian began to panic and toss.

"I'm here Sebastian, right beside you. I'm not going to leave."

"Ciel, I was so afraid I'd lost you, afraid that you no longer loved me."

"You haven't lost me Sebastian, I'll always be right here and I'm always going to love 'll always have me."

"I'm a terrible monster, I should never have -"

"Can you really hear me?"

"Yes love. I am not worthy of - I'm such a monster." He fretted.

"You might be a monster,but you're my monster and I love you as you are. Come back to me now Sebastian."

"I mustn't,I have done so much -"

"It doesn't matter,I want you to wake up now."

"I failed my master,I let him die." Ciel sighed.

"Sebastian." He called in the same forceful voice he had used as the demon's master.

"My lord?"

"Yes, stop this. You did your job, you haven't failed. Wake up now, that's an order!" Sebastian opened his eyes and looked to the former Earl.

"Ciel, i-I had-"

"Another nightmare, I know. You're alright now, I want you to eat something."

"I don't believe I can. You hated me then I watched you -I just could not seem to-" Ciel brushed a strand of hair out of Sebastian's face lovingly.

"I don't hate you,you know that."

"That's exactly what the other you said and then -" Sebastian stopped, he tried to calm himself.

"Then you came and held me. I don't quite understand it but -"

"Maybe it was telling you that you need to let go of those feelings and leave the past behind you." Ciel said

"Then something strange happened, you told me to wake and I did. Ciel I'm so sorry for everything, I never intended for you to die."

"I know, I'm not angry, that's all over now it's okay. I'm here now and I love you."The young demon handed Sebastian a goblet

"Ciel, will you lie down with me for a while, I just need you close." Tears were visible in Sebastian's eyes. Ciel nodded and walked to the other side of the bed, he laid down close as the older the goblet was empty, Sebastian leaned back. He held his Ciel so that the boy was resting his head on his chest.

"Try to relax now. I'm not going anywhere."

"Swear it, please?"

"I've said it before, I'm always going to be here...forever."
