Sebastian arrived to find Ciel in on the front lawn, his eyes cast to the ground. The demon prince glanced around the property. Finding no one else, he allowed the Phantomhive butler to disappear, revealing a large shadowy figure whose crimson eyes glistened in the darkness.
"Ciel." He called gently moving closer. The younger demon turned to face him.
"I didn't expect you to come here tonight." Ciel said.
"Darling, when you write me a letter that is so full of sadness that I can feel it through your words,how can I stay away?"
"You can't I suppose. I'm glad you're here." Sebastian knelt before him, finding Ciel's arms around his neck and his head resting on his chest. "I miss you."
"And I miss you more than you know. You're always welcome to come home. I will always be there waiting for you." Sebastian returned the embrace.
"I can't. I'm sorry,Sebastian. I keep telling you we can't be together and then I do this. It's not fair to you."
"it's alright, it's easy to feel this way when you are on your own. You just want to have someone you trust near you. Remember this if nothing else, I love you dearly and my home will forever be yours as well."
"I don't know how you can still be so gentle and kind to me after everything I put you through."
"It's quite simple, you are my forever love, even if your feelings toward me change, My heart is still yours. I do wish you understood that. There is nothing in the world you could ever do to me that can change this. I am grateful to you for not cutting me out of your life, that would break me." Ciel tightened his grip.
"I couldn't ever do that. We've been through too much, I still need you but- it's hard to explain, I need this too."
"I know." After several minutes the two parted.
"Perhaps we should move inside, you and I can talk more there." Sebastian stood up, pulling Ciel I to his arms.
"re you sure you can stay?" The young demon rested his head on Sebastian's chest.
"Of course, you are my priority." He stepped into the dimly lit manor.
"Where shall we go?"
"I don't care honestly." Ciel replied as Sebastian began to walk, he slowly climbed the stairs and pushed open the bedroom door.
"This room holds such memories indeed." The soon to be king said setting Ciel on the bed and lighting a candle.
He frowned, it was now easier to see Ciel's tearstained face.
"Ciel-" he began softly.
"I'm fine." The former Earl insisted. "It's just hard to go home again sometimes, especially when it's empty and you're used to having a family."
"Naturally, but I am with you tonight, you do not need to feel alone now." Sebastian stroked his former mate's cheek lovingly.
"It's good to have you with me." Ciel said leaning interrupted older demon placed a hand under Ciel's chin forcing their eyes to meet.
"My offer stands." He said. " you and I have such a wonderful history together. It was in this very room many years ago that you gave me Rachel and Vincent, it was one of the most wonderful and terrifying moments in my life. We have had challenges and I have seen you grow from a frightened, angry boy to a strong, selfless demon who has shown his ability to take care of six little ones, keep me in line and still manage to keep your sanity through the years. You are amazing and whatever you choose to do, I will be right there. There isn't anything you cannot do and the world is yours to explore."
"Thank you. I wouldn't be who I am now without you, Sebastian."
"It has truly been my pleasure to be at your side and see these changes take place. Even if I must let you go-please promise me you will be careful out there."
"I promise." Ciel vowed. Sebastian lowered his head until it was an inch away from Ciel's.
"May I?" He whispered. The young demon wrapped his arms around his neck.
"This can only happen once, this will be the last time."
"Let's not think about that at the moment, you and I are here together, let's enjoy each other's company, shall we?" He pressed his lips to Ciel's, if t his was truly his last chance, Sebastian would make Ciel feel all the love he held in his heart.
