Ciel shut the door behind him and fell to the floor in a sobbing mess. Was it really that difficult for the universe to let him be happy just once? All he wanted was Sebastian. The demon was the only thing Ciel could THINK of. Even if he DID win the game hed rather die than live the rest of his life away from Sebastian. But he DIDNT want to die now. He wanted to be alive for Sebastian. He wanted Sebastian to be the one to wach him take his last breath. He wanted Sebastian by his side until that moment. A world without the demon wasnt a world worth living in. Still. Hed stay strong and bold. He knew those were the things Sebastian liked about him.

He dug his fingernails into the palms of his hands and tried to slow his breathing before he passed out. For the first time in what seemed like forever, Ciel felt fragile. He closed his eyes in an attempt to calm himself and slowely, shakily, got back to his feet and opened his eyes to walk back to his own bed. The pillows were so soft against his face and they smelled exactly like Sebastian. It shouldnt have surprised him seeing as Sebastian lived in the manor and had probably been in the room a million times but still Ciel felt like he was drowning in the mans scent. To say he loved it would be and understatement. He curled himself around one of the pillpw and closed his eyes again taking in the gorgeous scent.

It calmed him. He imagined Sebastian there with him. Holding him. Telling him how everything would soon work out. He let these images carry him into the warm inviting abyss of sleep. Yet of course, when Ciel awoke. He knew Sebastian would not in fact be there.

sebbys pov?

He watched the boy take of running and bit his lip trying to hold back from going after him, trying to comfort him. He waited untill the door shut and leaned against it trying to listen to anything Ciel might say. He could here the boy Crying. It ripped him apart. But of course he WAS doing all of this for a purpose right? It would be ridiculouse to go back on it now..

He waited untill he was absolutlely certain CIel was asleep and quietly opened the door and layed next to Ciel. He wanted to be there for the boy more than anything. Yet.. There was the part of him that said what he was doing was for the best and he trusted those insticts. He silently reached across the bed and wiped the tears from Ciels still damp face.

"hmmm Sebastian..." Ciel sniffled and tensed in his sleep tears slowly sliding down his face again. "I love you."

Sebastian half smiled and kissed Ciels forhead then stood.

"I would not say such things if I were you my prince."

With that he stood and left and didnt return for 4 days.
