I am so so terribly sorry about not updating! Between working at baseball games a lot, working at the dog shelter that this summer has grown from 140 to 190 dogs, I haven't found the time to sit down and really type this. I also have school starting on Wednesday (please kill me now) and so I am unsure about that.
OKAY! Let's stay on topic here. There is one small section in here that was not originally written by me. It is an excerpt from the Outsiders fanfic Glow by JohnnyPonyboy. I have gotten her full permission to use this so no one is in a position to make a fuss about copyright and plagiarism. The little paragraph will be in bold so you will know which one it is. She gets full credit. The bolded paragraphs following that are written by me. But the first belongs entirely to her.
Sebastian: Cookie doesn't own Kuroshitsuji or its characters.
Me: And if any of you tell anyone otherwise, I kill you.
Mating Season
I'm awake and I'm alive
Sebastian's POV
Tick… tock… tick… tock…
I heard the clock ticking by, counting down every single second of silence. For once I wished nothing more but for the hour hand to be rewound so I can take all of this pain and suffering back.
Staring deep into Ciel's blue and purple eyes, I spoke in a whisper, "Do you know what your name is?"
The younger's face contorted in confusion, "Ciel…Ciel Phantomhive?" there was an ounce of uncertainty in his voice.
"And do you know who I am?"
Ciel shook his head confirming my suspicions, fear and confusion spread across his face. The pregnant silence in the room was nearly unbearable.
"Do you know why you are like this?" I asked precariously while gently laying a hand on Ciel's round stomach.
The teen lightly trailed his fingers around his stomach, seemingly fascinated, "It's because I'm pregnant, right? But I…don't know how it happened." He spoke in monotone.
I breathed a sigh that was mixed with relief and frustration. Ciel was in what seemed like a daze. He also had amnesia. All he remembers is his name and that he is pregnant, and he's even questioning himself on those facts.
From what I was sensing, the children appeared to be in stable condition. I never felt so relieved and so worried at the same time in my eternal life. Ciel… you sure know how to make a demon worry.
Ciel's POV
I had so many questions filling my head at the moment. Where am I? Why am I here? Why am I pregnant? And I can't answer any of them. I'm so confused.
The black haired man dressed like a butler left the room hastily after I answered his last question. It was then that I heard some talking outside. I sat up in my bed and stood up slowly and carefully. Trying to make as little noise as possible, I inched over to the door, curious as to what they were saying.
"…so there is nothing you can do about this?" I recognized the voice of a female.
"I'm sorry." the butler's voice spoke with remorse, "but Ciel doesn't seem to remember anything, except his name and that he is pregnant."
"Does he remember you?" A baritone voice spoke up.
A sigh from the butler, "I'm afraid not. I don't know if he even remembers the contract, if that is the case."
Contract? What contract?
"Well then what can we do at this point?" the female asked.
"I believe that it is best for Ciel as well as the twins if we not try to force him to remember anything. It will cause him to overexert himself and worst case scenario…he and the children suffer the ultimate consequence."
I could tell by the butler's tone that he seemed very concerned for me. But why? I don't know who he is. Why would he care so deeply about me? Why…
Before I could finish my train of thought, a wave of darkness washed over me and I barely made it over to the bed before collapsing onto the velvet carpet.
I opened my eyes again to see two small children in front of me, a boy and a girl.
"Who are you?" I asked. I feel like I've been saying that an awful lot lately.
The little girl cocked an eyebrow, "Again with the asking who we are? Mommy, I thought we've been through this." The small boy nodded in agreement next to her.
I blinked a few times, they didn't just say what I think they did, "Wait, 'Mommy'? I'm not your mother am I?"
She sighed, "I told you he wouldn't remember."
The boy sniffled, "Why mommy? How come you don't remember us?"
I felt heartbroken at the sight of the weeping child but I didn't know what I could do, "I'm sorry but, I don't seem to remember anything right now."
The little girl pushed the boy lightly, "See? He has amnesia, just as I told you. I suppose we will have to tell you our names again. My name is Cordelia, and he is Anthony. We are twins, your twins."
Anthony nodded, "That's right. You are our mommy. And we will do everything we can to get your memory back. If anyone can, it's us."
The twins that stood before me joined hands and smiled, "And since you are wondering, the butler, his name is Sebastian and he loves you a whole lot! He is our daddy, which means he's your husband."
Cordelia elbowed her brother, "They aren't married yet! Shhhh!"
I raised an eyebrow at the pair. This was just getting more confusing by the minute.
The girl turned back to me, "Well we shall see you again soon."
Sebastian's POV
Imagine that everything went perfect in your life. Imagine a life with no sadness, no anger. Everyone lives in a little house with their parents and they call have a white picket fence in the front yard. Well no one lives like that, no one in the world knows how it is to be completely perfect. Everyone has felt pain in their life. Just think about it. Everyone's life starts with pain. When you come out of your mother for the first time it must be the most terrifying thing to ever happen to you. You go from a warm place, safe and inviting, to the cold world where the rest of your life is nothing but pain.
You better believe I never grew up with such immense luxuries. I lived in the pits of hell, damnit. I've felt more pain than most will in two lifetimes. I was told while growing as a demon, that demons were never meant to love. We were only meant to lust after another at a certain time every 100 years solely for reproduction purposes, with no sentimental or intimate feelings ever emerging out of either demon. For the first 750 years of my afterlife, I believed it. Every time mating season would occur, I would find someone to mate with and I'd more than likely never see them or the child again. That was the life of a demon. Now, when a demon arrives in hell with a spouse, they do not have mating seasons, they are the exceptions but can only be limited to one child every 2000 years.
I'm sure you have heard of the 10 commandments God created, the laws of the heavens where we demons are forbidden to tread. These are the laws of the underworld known has Hell where the demons and archangels lurk and call home. Try growing up in a place such as that and tell me you don't become tough as nails.
So many things I was told, and I believed every single one of them. But then I met this boy that changed me forever. He taught me what it truly means to do more than lust. Of course now that I have told you all of this, you can now partially understand the terror and shock I felt when I walked in on something like this…
A faint noise was heard inside of the bedroom, making all of us stop talking. Each of us exchanged a knowing glance, and I proceeded to open the door slowly. But my blood instantly turned cold upon seeing the scene before me.
Ciel was lying unconscious on the carpet and I honestly thought he was dead. The dreadful scenario was soon debunked as I saw his chest rising and falling ever so slowly. I breathed a sigh of relief and knelt down to pick the comatose boy up into my arms. Once I had him cradled in my protective hold, I could hear even breathing emitting from his pale lips. I couldn't resist the urge to stroke his soft kitten-like locks.
I laid him back down on the bed and as I turned to leave, I heard a voice.
"S-Sebastian?"
The voice was immediately recognized as Ciel's. I spun around quickly and looked at the boy, utterly shocked.
Ciel's weak eyes looked up at me, "I-It's Sebastian, isn't it?"
I nodded with a huge smile plastered on my face. It wasn't a sarcastic smirk or teasing grin, it was a genuine smile, "Yes that's right."
"The twins said your name was Sebastian."
"The twins?" I said in surprise. This was getting rather interesting, "You mean our twins?"
A slow nod was the response, "I think so. They said they were going to help get me better… am I sick?"
I chuckled, this was the side of Ciel I rarely ever saw when he was his normal arrogant self, "Not exactly. What else did the twins say?"
The young teen's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to remember, "They said that you cared about me a lot because you love me."
"I do. I love you very much." I admitted quietly, a little surprised how easy it was for a demon such as myself to say such a foreign thing.
"I'm still really um… confused about what all is happening but I guess everything will be fine in the end, right?" Ciel had the most innocent look on his face.
I embraced him in a hug, "Of course it will, my lord. I have missed you."
I have missed you more than you will ever know.
It's not as long as some recent ones have been but hey, I updated, it's over 1,500 words, and it's presentable. I'm happy. And don't be offended if anything sacriligious is said. I am a Christian so hopefully no feelings should be hurt. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS SO FAR YOU GUYS! THEY MAKE ME SMILE!
Rachel: REVIEW SO THAT CIEL WILL GET HIS MEMORY BACK WITH THE HELP OF THE TWINS!
ATTENTION: NO I did not steal the idea of Ciel losing his memory from the anime. I had this idea in my head before the second season aired.
