CHAPTER XI
Sebastian's P.O.V.
I didn't know when I realized someone was screaming, I just was just dreaming about this awfully cute almost blue colored kitten with an eye patch over its right eye, and I was suddenly awake. It was then that I heard screams, painful screams. Suddenly aware of where I was and who was screaming, I got up and dashed into Ciel's room.
He was still lying in his bed only now he was tossing and turning in pain. Then he started to scream once again. It was almost as if his dream was actually causing him pain. I rushed to his side and grabbed his shoulders, shaking him but carefully.
"Ciel? Ciel! Wake up!" I didn't know what to do, he wouldn't stop crying out in pain and agony. I did the only thing I could think of. Pulling him closer, I wrapped my arms around him and held him as if he was minutes away from dropping into Hell.
Suddenly, he stopped screaming. He was the first to move and I was almost sad that he did. I watched as he pulled away and looked up at me… with both eyes. I gasped almost in horror. Yes, his right eye was not missing, but it did not compare to his left one in anyway.
His right eye was a mysterious purple color that held the same amount of pain and sorrow as his left but this one was extremely different. Place upon it was a scar… a scar in the shape of a Faustian contract. I knew this mark all too well.
Obviously not knowing he had just revealed his precious secret to me, Ciel wrapped his arms around my neck, closed his eyes and went back to sleep. I waited a full fifteen minutes before making the slightest movement, which was to take the glove off of my left hand. I stared at my scar which resembled exactly to Ciel's right eye. The memories of how I got that scar came back, and I wondered what Ciel went through to receive his…
Ciel's P.O.V.
I woke up to find the scent of lavender filling my room. The smell was coming from the bathroom door. I crept out of my bed, put my eye patch on, and inched my way to the smell. Peeking inside the door, I saw something that I did not quite understand.
It was Sebastian! Thankfully he wasn't "using" the bathroom. He was only drawing the bath while pouring some lavender bubbles in it. I thought I was completely hidden, but when he looked at the door, I knew I was spotted. Instead of retreating, I just placed my hand on the door frame with half my body visible*. He smiled, got up, and walked towards the door.
"Good morning Ciel," he opened the door the rest of the way and I stared into his eyes, wondering exactly what had happened and why he was still in my home. I looked from him to the bath, "Do you remember anything that happened?" he asked. I shook my head, and then suddenly felt a little faint. As I was starting to fall, Sebastian caught me and helped me regain balance.
"Well, it seems that you will need help with your bath," I snapped my head up to look at him in shock. His hand rested below his chin and his expression was puzzlement, "Please, undress and get into the bath, I will be back momentarily," he left and I quickly unclothed and jumped into the tub. I didn't want this man to bathe me but it didn't seem like I had much of a choice. He was better than that gym teacher I suppose.
Sebastian returned with some towels, shampoo, a sponge, and some soap. I sank further down into the bath so that my face was almost completely concealed with bubbles. Since he didn't see that I noticed he had reentered, I only played with the bubbles. I heard a laugh and slowly looked in his direction.
I had taken off my eye patch so now I was looking at him with one eye, the other closed. It must have looked ridiculous, almost as if I was winking at him. I sighed as he came closer.
"You need to sit up a little so I may cleanse your back," I hated the idea, yet I sat up straighter. I felt the soap and sponge on my back as he began to clean. He stopped as he reached the lower left side of my back.
"Ciel? What is this?" Suddenly realizing what he was talking about, I sank lower into the tub. I wasn't going to dare speak a word and only pretend I had not heard him. He didn't need to know of the scar left there. I then felt his hands cleaning my hair. Bubbles started to run down my face and it made me sneeze. Bubbles flew all over the room and Sebastian let out a hearty laugh.
I only sat there and drift off to sleep in the tub. When I opened my eyes next, I was back in my bed, dressed in a clean night shirt. To my right sat a sleeping Sebastian. He looked so harmless when asleep but I knew that this was the exact opposite. I wondered why I was in such a situation and why I couldn't seem to ignore Sebastian.
*Who remembers when Alois seduced the old man in Kuroshitsuji II? This is how I imagined Ciel looking right here only less... seductress-ish?
