I'm sorry if I somehow fail your expectations ._. And to those that are content and feel uhm...fangirly? xD I must say...THANK YOU VERY MUCH xD

A faint knock on the door was heard, yet you remained still, asleep on the soft mattress. Your chest heaving up and down slightly as you breathed. Another knock, yet you stayed asleep still. A sigh came from the other side of the door, the person on the other side must have been irritated, for the person in question had barged into the room.

The man stood in front of your bed, a palm on his forehead.

"My, my, To think that she fell asleep before preparations would go to waste." Sebastian, looked calm for a few moments, before a smirk cam to view.

"What a magnificent plan has come to mind. The young master should be asleep by now, still." Sebastian looked amused, glancing at his pocket watch before leaving the room.

You lay there, asleep, completely oblivious of what embarrassment you would encounter later that night.

A few hours passed before you finally stirred, opening your eyes slowly, blinking as you stared up at the uncomfortable weight shifted beside you. You sat up scratching an eye before laying back down on the 'pillow'.

"!" 'It' sat up, a puzzled and surprised look on it's face. You sat up in surprise as you were suddenly thrown back.

"C-Ciel?" You pulled at the covers, before pushing the boy off the bed. Letting out a surprised grunt, as he fell to the ground.

"What the heck are you doing?" Ciel had balled his hands into fists and retorted.

"W-What was 'I' doing? What're you doing near a girl? And in bed? What, Ciel?" You blushed, diving back into the covers, completely covering your whole body. Ciel closed his eye and put a hand to his blue locks.

Of all the people...there is only one person I could think of... Ciel thought, irritated at the mere thought.

"Sebastian!" Ciel called out, and in an instant the butler was already in front of the door, bowing.

"You called? Young master." Sebastian looked up at Ciel, a smirk clearly seen on his face.

"Sebastian?" You popped your head out of the covers, glaring daggers at the man clad in black, who simply smirked back at reply.

"I get it. No need to worry anymore, Ciel." You sighed in exasperation, glancing at the butler's satisfied reaction.

"Fine. I'll go back to my room. As to where I 'magically' disappeared from." Ciel accidentally opened his tainted eye, a pained and shocked feeling spread throughout your body.

Yes...I forgot...once one is tainted with the impurities of the seal...a contract...it is something that is not easily taken back...A contract for life...

You looked at him with sad eyes, as Sebastian covered up the eye in a flash.

"Dinner preparations have already been made, Young master." Sebastian smiled, tying up the eye patch around Ciel's head.

"Very well, I shall head to the dining room momentarily." Ciel made a swishing motion with his hand and Sebastian was dismissed. Ciel left the room a while after yawning and stretching.

"If I could not save you from the Hell, that is your fate. Then I shall be there for you, until it comes to claim what was once mine..." You took a deep breath before going to brush your hair and change for dinner.

You entered the dining hall as calmly as you could manage. Ciel and Sebastian had in fact been waiting for you. Ciel greeted you with a forced smile as he sank into the chair, Sebastian lead you to your chair and pulled it out for you.

"Thank you, Sebastian."

"It is normal for a butler serving under the Phantomhives to be able to do this much." He said with a smile, before placing the food on the table. You gasped as you noticed that the food he placed were in fact your favorites among favorites.

"This is..." You left your sentence unfinished, as Ciel immediately reacted.

"It was a mere coincidence, think nothing of it." He took nervous glances at you then back at the food.

"Yes, of course it was. Young Master." Sebastian said with a hint of sarcasm.

"S-shut up!" Ciel's cheeks were a light shade of red, as he stuck his tongue out at the butler.

The days I'll be able to spend with you are surreal and illusionary...but even though, I shall do my best to protect you from harm, to keep you from those who once harmed you. Ciel looked at you with flushed cheeks, seeing the way you enjoyed the food, made him more than happy.

After dinner...

The plates have been recovered and the table was about to be cleaned up.

"I suppose it has gotten quite late now, then if you'll allow me..." You curtsied before grabbing for the door knob.

"Wait..." Ciel stood up from his chair and walked in fast paces toward you.

"Yes?"

"What are you really?"

Has he noticed? but how? I made myself concealed as much as I could...but...

Again...that's it for today xD Gomenesai for leaving it at this. To be honest I'm not quite content with this chapter and if I have the time I might rewrite it :\ but if you guys think it was fine...maybe I might leave it at that :3 ahehe
