Sebastian's P.O.V.

He sat in the corner of the bedroom his eyes set on the figure lying motionlessly on the bed. It had been nearly one day since what had happened, he knew soon the younger man would wake. He knew Ciel would be angry, much more than angry, and there was a high possibility that the younger man would hate him with a new burning passion. Sebastian didn't know what he could have done, that was a lie; he should have done what he was contracted to do, what his species did best. He should have eaten the dying man's soul, he shouldn't have revealed his true form to his young master. He couldn't help it though; he couldn't control it when he had felt that familiar burning in his marked hand, couldn't help it when he had gone to his master's side to see him lying there only seconds away from death. The demon had come out, not because of hunger, but because of desperate rage. He had allowed two humans he had foolishly fallen in love with to die, he couldn't help it...He couldn't control it, after Ciel's killers had been taken care of he had approached the dying man. The look on his pale blood stained face was almost serene; a small smile playing on his bloodied lips. He didn't fear the demon, didn't fear the winged beast that knelt down at his side and cradled his dying body in his arms. If he hadn't been near death then Sebastian would have yelled at him, shaken him, and cured him for being so stupid. He should have done what demons were made to do.

Yet he did not.

The figure on the bed stirred, a weak groan emitting from Ciel's lips.

Soon he would wake and soon all Hell would break loose. It was rare for a human to be turned into a demon, nearly as rare as it was for a demon to fall in love with a human. He hadn't known what else to do, in a way his thoughtless action had damned the blue eyed man. He was damning him to immortality, damning him to a life that he did not wish to live. He knew his partner craved death, but he also thought that he was getting better; a lovely naive little lie they both convinced themselves of. Sebastian knew that Ciel hadn't truly been happy, known that he very much still wanted to be killed, but he was faking it for Sebastian's sake. He knew something would happen, but he didn't want to believe it, because some part of him...That stupid pathetic part of him that was so very human, his damned heart told him to ignore it. Told him to believe he was enough to keep Ciel from wanting to die, told him the right thing to do was to bring the human man back to life whether or not it was what he wished for.

"Sebastian" The weak voice whispered.

Whispered just like before he had died, his name sounded so sweet coming from his lover's lips.

The demon made his way to the bed, he sat on the side and looked down at the younger man. Ciel's eyes were open, both showing a deep red much like the eyes of the butler. Sebastian took Ciel's left hand giving a gentle squeeze.

"I was dead"

It wasn't a question or a confused thought, but a stated fact.

"Nonsense"

Sebastian rose from the bed, he stepped away because he knew how quickly things would turn. After a moment Ciel got up from the bed just barely steady on his feet. His eyes met the demon's before turning downwards to look at his own form; he was still dressed in his clothes from before, the clothes splattered in blood. He ran his black nailed fingers along them then clutched his hands into tight fists, his teeth gritted together and his eyes locked with the older man's.

"You filthy bastard, tell me what you did!" He yelled

He advanced on the other man, shoved him back against the wall.

"What do you mean?"

His voice was calm, bemused only to hide his guilt.

Ciel hit him hard across the face.

"I was dead, you came, and I died." His voice came out a harsh whisper, his red eyes glowed with hatred.

"Are you sure it was not a dream?"

"Stop treating me as if I'm a moronic child, I'm not some idiot!"

He pulled Sebastian away from the wall and shoved him to the floor, when the butler attempted to get up the younger man kicked him hard in the stomach knocking him back to the ground. Ciel climbed on top of him straddling his lap, his fingers curled in the material of the older man's white dress shirt.

"Does this look like a dream? I died, you were supposed to take your payment!"

Sebastian looked away.

"I couldn't do it my Lord"

"What have I done to deserve this, I asked you for one thing and you do this to me. I was supposed to die, I wanted to die, and you ruined it. You bastard!" His voice cracked and wavered, his eyes wide and crazed.

He was scared, he wanted to wake up from his awful nightmare and Sebastian couldn't blame him. He longed to hold him, to apologize, and tell him that he wasn't good with losing those he chose to love.

"It was my own greed, it was nothing you had done."

"I just wanted to die, I can't believe you would do this to me; so many years I just wanted to end this terrible hell."

Sebastian cautiously placed his right hand against the other man's cheek. He expected to be hit, to have his hand swatted away, but the man atop him stilled and stared down at him his eyes calming if only the tiniest bit.

"I couldn't let you go, I'm so very sorry."

Ciel let out a shaky laugh, he leaned his forehead against the older demon's chest as he continued to laugh.

"This is so insane, only I could end up this way. It's my fault for saying your name, I tried not to, but I did. I hoped I could die without you knowing, without you doing something to keep it from happening. I never thought you would do something this severely stupid."

His laughter ceased, his body trembled slightly; he remained with his face buried against the other man's chest, his fingers still curled in his shirt.

"I didn't mean for you to see my true form, it's unsightly."

Ciel looked up at the older demon.

"I believed it more to be horrifically beautiful, I was content with that being the last image my eyes would see before death would take me. Is that why you did this to me?"

Sebastian shook his head, he ran his fingers through the younger man's blue hair.

"I couldn't lose another person I love, especially to something I could prevent."

Ciel let out a heavy sigh.

"I want to die, this was my decision and you have no right to prevent it."

He knew, but he couldn't understand allowing the man he loved to die.

"I need you by my side, you've caused me to feel in a way I haven't felt for so long. Immortality is so terrible when you're alone."

"So you decided to make me lonely?" The younger man questioned.

Sebastian smiled slightly, he trailed his fingers along the other man's jawline.

"I'm with you for eternity, therefore you are not alone."

"Idiot" Ciel whispered

The older demon wrapped an arm around Ciel's waist, his other hand was on the back of his master's head; his fingers running through his hair. They remained silent for some time, the younger demon's body was relaxed against his; he could feel his breath against the bared skin of his throat. This was not what Ciel had wanted and not what Sebastian had planned, he wondered if they could work through it, and if the blue eyed man could accept being by his side. If he could accept a life as such a creature crossed between human and demonic. He had eternity to make up for all of his mistakes that had been made.

He planned on spending a lifetime making it up to the man he currently held in his arms.

The End.
