"Are you certain I can't ask you to stay?"Sebastian asked walking Ciel to the door.
"I shouldn't, but you're still going to teach me aren't you?"
"As promised, yes, if you must leave, can I at least take you home?" Ciel turned to him.
"You're supposed to stay close to here and build up to it. I'll be back tomorrow morning, I'll leave you something to eat."
"Perhaps you would be so kind as to stay for dinner tomorrow night?" Ciel nodded.
"I could do that I suppose. If you want to."
"Yes, it would be rather nice. Would you like me to send Cynna with you to make sure you make it home alright?"Sebastian stepped outside to stand next to Ciel.
"I'll be fine, it's not that you're hungry before morning, you can call me and I'll come back..just until you can find a contract." Ciel didn't look at Sebastian.
"Right, I suppose I should go now, you should go back in and relax, you've been through a lot." The young demon commented.
"We both have, but if you find yourself hungry, please know that I am here."
"I'll keep that in mind." A long silence followed in which the two demon stood still seemingly waiting for the other to change their mind.
"I'll be off then, see you in the morning." The former earl could do little to hide his sadness.
"Very well, until tomorrow then." Ciel sighed.
"Yes,tomorrow." He repeated before beginning his journey home. Sebastian watched silently for a moment before disappearing into the house. He closed the front door and leaned against it.
"Master, are you alright sir,shall I call the healer, you seem a bit out of it." Cynna inquired but received no reply. Sebastian was deep in thought. His Ciel had just left him once more, he allowed him to walk out. What else could he do, Ciel was not one to change his mind very often. If he wanted to leave who was Sebastian to stop him? Even if his heart was crying out for his former master. Sebastian only wanted what was best for him.
Listen to your heart sir, you will never be wrong' Cynna's words came back to him suddenly.
"Master?" Sebastian smiled and placed a hand on his butler's shoulder.
"Cynna my old friend,I must say how grateful I am to you, your advice has shown me the path I must follow, for you see, sometimes the answer lies not in what your heart is telling you, but what it is not. My Ciel is my heart and in saying so little, he has spoken volumes to me." Cynna tilted his head in confusion.
"I-I'm terribly sorry sir, I don't understand."
"Ciel hesitated to leave me,just as I was hoping to stall him. His words said he must leave but I believe I know exactly what he was waiting for. Which makes me wonder what the hell I'm doing standing around here." Sebastian opened the door and began walking in the direction of Ciel's home.
Ciel made his way slowly through the streets, he dreaded returning to the live of emptiness that waited for him . No one would be waiting for him, only the cold, dark void that gripped his heart. He bowed his head, he wasn't far from Sebastian and yet he felt worlds away from him. He planned on going right to bed, too emotionally drained from his thoughts to care.
"Ciel." He didn't have to to turn around before he was lifted from the ground and found himself being nuzzled softly.
"Sebastian, what the hell are you doing?"He asked in surprise.
"That my love is exactly what I asked myself. Until I found my answer. I have heard what you weren't saying with your words and I feel the same.I want you to come back with me."
"I told you I -"Sebastian turned around with his beloved Ciel in his arms.
"I don't like to be told no. I cannot accept it as an answer, you simply must come." He said continuing his affectionate smiled. He lightly touched Sebastian's cheek and the demon stopped,gazing into his eyes.
"Fine, if that's what you really want."
"It is indeed Ciel, forever and always." Sebastian kissed him lovingly. When finally they broke the kiss,Ciel rested his forehead against Sebastian's.
"Thank you for hearing what I wasn't saying, I didn't think you would come." Sebastian kissed him once more.
"Listen to me Ciel, I will always come for you, so long as I live to the last breath, I will always come, you will only ever need one word. I love you my Ciel, Such an evening I have to share with you. Tonight is very special and I wish to share it with you."
"What's so special about tonight?"
"You will see my love, it will be a day that neither of us will ever forget. An event so rare and beautiful that it must be shared with someone who brings your heart joy."
"Sounds like fun."
"It will be my love,it will change our lives forever." Sebastian said as he carried Ciel back to his home,He had to tell Cynna of this plan it had to be perfect, as they made their way through the streets, neither one cared that the other demons were watching and whispering among themselves, each one curious as to what it would mean for their prince, many hoped for the best.
