Three solid knocks rang out hollow from the inside of the house.

Sebastian's face took on an expression of surprise from where he sat in his kitchen, sipping his coffee. With an air of bewilderment, he moved to the front door and picked up one of his cats that was waiting to be let out before opening up.

Needless to say, his surprise only grew when he saw a familiar boy standing on his doorstep with loneliness a straw away from consuming him. "Ciel?"

"Dr. Michaelis, could I um.. come in?" The uncovered deep blue eye avoided the doctor's in a way that made it obvious something had happened.

"Of course, I'll get you a cup of tea." Sebastian ushered him in towards the living room and said, "Have a seat, I won't be a moment."

Ciel muttered his thanks and sat on the beige couch in the living room, taking the time to notice his surroundings. There were no pictures of the doctor himself nor of any women. There were however many pictures of cats, which struck Ciel as odd. The colors around the room also reminded him of cats with their fur-like tones.

Soon Sebastian came in carrying a teacup with little chocolates on the saucer and placed it before him. He took a seat in the armchair opposite the couch, waited for Ciel to finish sipping his tea, and said, "I must say, I wasn't expecting you to show up on my front porch. Something tells me you weren't either." Making his tone kind and understanding he asked, "Did anything happen?"

Ciel seemed to be fighting back tears. It took him a couple seconds to gather himself but he managed. "Remember when you said I could come here if I ever needed a safe place to stay? Well now I do."

"I see. My offer still holds, you may stay here as long as you want. I have a guest room you can use and plenty of food. As long as you don't mind cats, that is." The last part was said as the same cat from earlier rubbed against Sebastian's legs.

"I suppose they're fine. This was sort of a spur of the moment decision... so I don't have any of my things from Undertaker's flat. I'm not sure how soon I'll be able to retrieve them." Ciel was still toying with the idea of staying in the doctor's house. 'I can at least stay the night, today is a good chance to feel him out and see if he's like all the rest. In any case, it's not as if I have anywhere else to go.' he thought.

"Yes that is a problem. Not to worry though, I can always buy some clothes until you feel comfortable enough to get your things. Or if you'd prefer, I could get them." Sebastian offered. He wasn't sure how bad the situation was or what happened but he knew he wasn't going to allow any harm come to Ciel under his watch.

"We'll see." Ciel was touched by the immediate and borderless kindness of this man. A small, fond smile came over his face as he stared down into the teacup in his hands and said, "Thank you." He felt a hint of peace wash over him, soothing his aches pains. Ciel got some kind of feeling that the day's trial would work out flawlessly.

Sebastian smiled wide in return, too deep in feelings to speak. He felt overwhelmed by the intense need to make everything okay. 'If I build up his trust over time, maybe one day I'll be able to cure him.' he thought.

And on that day, misfortune and evil was turned into luck and new hope for the future. Its presence filled them both and served as the beginning of a soft glow in each of their hearts.
