His Butler, His Lover

Part 9


His tears won't stop from falling. He despised his self for crying so bad, but he would be ridiculous if he restrain not to cry. His butler was on his arms lying helplessly and was almost dead for not moving, he couldn't feel his pulses anymore. Blood scattered on the floor, Sebastian's cuts were dripping more blood...it didn't stop from bleeding. What is he to do? He didn't know...he really didn't know. All he knew right now was he was becoming INSANE.

"Sebastian, open your eyes!" Ciel screamed, no, he was crying. Both of his hands were shaking the butler's shoulders, trying to wake him up that only resulted for the butler to wound up more.

"I said open your eyes! Don't fool around!" he shouted but Sebastian couldn't hear him, and his tears continued flowing. Didn't he realize that his butler wasn't pretending anymore?

The tears were now blurring his vision yet he continued shaking his butler's shoulder, and his hands were trembling. He wobbled him more not realizing what he was doing would make the wound to open up wider.

Souma widened his eyes, they almost bulge out from his sockets. He ran toward Ciel and pulled him without hastily, forcing him to separate away from Sebastian. "Ciel stop that! You're bleeding him more!" the prince growled as he held the boy tightly. Ciel struggled and struggled, he even kicked Souma, but the man ignored that.

"Let me go!" Ciel burst in anger as he kept struggling. "Sebastian needs me, let me go you IDIOT!" he punched the prince hard on the chest which made Souma groan.

Ciel noticed that Souma's hold was loosening and had pushed him away and then he ran back to Sebastian. He shook the butler hysterically, yes, it seemed that he was now insane. Completely out of his mind. All he wanted now was to wake his butler and open his eyes, those red eyes of him...how dare he closed his eyes front of him? Ciel felt pain in his chest. He can't allow the butler to close his eyes, because it seems so distant...seems like he can't open his eyes anymore. Being helpless like this isn't Sebastian at all, Ciel clenches his fist and once more he shakes hardly the unconscious man.

"Stop it Ciel!" Souma grabbed and pulled him upward. He felt that the boy was shaking and was trembling so hard. This was bad. This was the first that the earl was trembling so much. If this continues, it might be that Ciel would lose his mind, Ciel will go mad. His hand moved on its own motion and it launched on the boy's right cheek.

Ciel widened his eyes and had stroke the red surface on his face. Souma then growled, "You are killing him Ciel! What you were doing would kill him!"

The boy seemed awakened. He widened his already widened eyes. "Sebastian...he...-coughs- he..." Ciel stuttered, the tears continued to flow. He felt his legs were numb and seemed that his body was traumatized. He cried hysterically when he noticed the blood that tinted his hands -it was from Sebastian's. He could almost faint now... so Souma went closer to him just in the right time when Ciel fell on the floor. Souma had caught him in one arm and sighed, looking back to Agni.

"Agni, take care of Sebastian while I'm going to lay Ciel on his bed. Please use all of your skills to heal his wound. I'm counting on you Agni." Souma commanded.

"I'll try my best Prince Souma." Agni answered back as he bowed.

"Don't try, DO IT!" ordered Souma as they departed the room, carrying the unconscious Ciel on his arms.

Agni was left astounded, standing still, stunned...To Sebastian's current condition, he couldn't assure anyone even to his master if he could heal the cuts. The cuts were bleeding seriously and if he was certainly right, Sebastian was like this ever since last night. If that's the case, then he had loss so much blood. He paused at that thought and sighed.

When he got his presence of mind once again, he turned and went closer to Sebastian, who was lying in the floor. He lifted the butler carefully, cautious not to touch the injured area or to damage it even the slightest scratch. He gently laid the butler - who seems lifeless - on the bed and hurried himself to search for the medicine kit. His eyes sparkled as he'd spotted the aid above the butler's cabinet, faster than fast, he grabbed the kit and opened it as he walked back to Sebastian.

He wiped him first with a clean, lukewarm cloth all over the surfaces of the cuts, removing the traces of the blood that were dried up on his masculine body. But then he was so vexed when the cut continued to leak red fluids, he nearly cursed damn!

"What's wrong with these cuts? It should stop bleeding already. These aren't ordinary cuts I presume." Agni cursed, his face was twisted in a grimace of apprehension.

"Uhn..Ciel..." Sebastian muttered, his hands were grasping the thick cloth that covered the bed. Agni almost jumped out for the sudden thorough uttering; he didn't expect that Sebastian still had the guts to speak regardless to his condition. But he chuckled for a second because he was touched by the butler's loyalty to his master.

"You really care about Sir Ciel even though you're in the state of dying, Sebastian." He paused and continued wiping him, and then he added: "Did you know that Ciel was so worried about you? He collapsed because of you, that was why you should be fine and wake up soon, for he would be very sad without you around."

The butler might have heard him for he had flinched for a moment, though he wasn't sure if it was because of the pain or if it was because he heard the name Ciel. Agni grabbed a bottle of painkiller -it seems- and took a capsule from it. He lifted the butler's chin and opened it up, he dropped the capsule and forced him to swallow it.

"The wounds might hurt a lot when I'll do the cleaning and operates it afterward. Painkillers would help even a bit, so bear with it." Agni explained, he was talking to the motionless Sebastian, as if the butler had his conscious.

He reached for a needle...needle. Anyway, Agni was after all, almost alike to Sebastian in some other ways...he was expert in almost of everything too. So there was no wonder if he could do a doctor's job, right?

As he put the white anti-bacterial gloves on his hands, he then readied himself for the self-proclaimed operation. A black silhouette appeared in a sudden and he could see it from his side. The intruder which he could tell was a man suddenly spoke in a baritone voice,

"You can't save his life using that useless human aid, buddy."

Agni was startled. He then faced the man who was standing at his backside, "And who are you to tell me that?" he was then stunned when he couldn't spotted the man as he looked back. He was so sure that the man was there a second ago, but did he just ignore that and turned back to Sebastian. But now he was totally confuse and wore a dumb look as he saw the man in his front, this time. How did he get there all of a sudden?

"I'm Sebastian's brother, please call me...Sobby." he answered. He was now standing near Sebastian's, he snatched a chair and took a seat, one hand was now above Sebastian's forehead, checking his condition. Agni upon hearing him was totally dumbfounded. His jaw almost dropped down. He never thought that Sebastian had a brother. The butler was too quite in his private life.

"His b-brother?!" Agni enquired again, to make sure if he heard it right. Sobby glared at him with a face of don't-you believe-me?

"Yes, why? What's wrong with that? It's not unnatural to have a brother, right." Sobby confirmed, then he smiled adding:

"Nah, am I too handsome than to my younger brother Sebby? That's why you can't recognize our resemblance? Oh my." He fixed his white bangs after that.

Agni frowned. This man is ridiculous...he uttered. "Whatever. If you're his brother then can you just shut up because I can't concentrate, I'm treating his wounds as you can see."

Sobby crossed his legs and turned his head right to left, which made Agni more annoyed.

"I told you, you can't heal him with those materials. I myself CAN do it and only me. I know this would happen." Sobby explained in a lazy voice whilst his black eyes were rolling, as if he was searching for someone or something in the room.

"Where's that cute little boy, Ciel to name, anyway?"

"..."

"Sebastian!!!" Ciel screamed as he quickly rose up to his bed.

His perspiration invaded all over his fragile body and the sweats on his temple was almost blurring his very own vision. Souma rapidly stood up from the chair. He wore a very concern face for it was just a minute ago when he had laid the earl on his bed. Ciel attempted to stand up but Souma prevented him to do so. "You need rest Ciel, please stay in bed."

Ciel frowned but the fretfulness was still there. "Sebastian?" the boy asked, confirming if what happened to his butler was just a dream, illusion or worst was - it's totally real.

How he wished that the prince would answer him that it was all a dream and there was nothing to worry, that Sebastian was alright as he was always used to be. Maybe seconds have passed, or a minute rather, before Ciel's azure eyes almost bulged out from the sockets when Souma had dropped down his shoulders in agony.

The prince never spoke but he knew what it meant just by the look on his face, Ciel then cried out the butler's name and hurried himself to exit the room, not even wanting Souma to prevent him again from doing so. After regaining his self, Souma stood up and followed his friend to the room where the butler was treated by Agni.

"Sebastian!" Ciel cried out as he banged the door, as hard as he can, not even realizing the pain it had caused to his hand. His face showed an expression of displeasure by wrinkling his brows when he sighted the man he hated to see...the man which was the last person he would want to see...no, it was the demon that had caused it all.

The demon that almost killed his butler, the demon he had started to hate. His clear azure eyes went into deep ferocity as he moved closer at the demon whose been sitting near Sebastian's bed.

"YOU! What are you doing here?!" Ciel burst in anger as he pointed his index finger at Sobby, ignoring the great differences of their height. Sobby upon seeing the boy smirked at him, he had been waiting to see the earl and it's been a wish that came true. However, he replaced the smirk with disappointment when he noticed that the boy hated him. Anyway, he knew that he deserved such unpleasant welcome.

Sobby fixed his collar and straightened his poise. "It's been a pleasure to see my brother's precious boy, Ciel. How are you?"

Ciel wore a disgusted face upon hearing those fake words. He knew that Sobby might be here for only two possible reasons, first: he wanted revenge for his master's death, second: the will to see Sebastian's helpless situation just to laugh about it.

"My, my. My brother has the guts to worry his master, huh." He spoke while running his fingers to Sebastian's black hair that was totally messed and was a bit damp.

Ciel hastily moved forward and slapped Sobby's hand and said in fury, "Don't dare touch him! You, look what you've done to him!" he paused while feeling the throb of his heart, it was pain. "Sebastian can't even open his eyes! He can't even hear my voice, and you still have the guts to show your face here?!"

Sobby froze up for a moment. Surely, this earl values his brother so much. The part of him that no one had witnessed except him and the two people behind them...and except the sleeping and unconscious Sebastian. He came here not to cause any more trouble, didn't he? He came here only to help Sebastian, he was just worried about him...Sebastian was his brother after all, wasn't it?

In the first place he never wished to fight his own brother, how could he? He value his brother too, it's just that fate seemed to be so cruel. Cruel, because he had value and cherished his master as well but in an unpleasant way...in addition to that it seemed that he had come to like this earl, too. Ah, what a predicament...he uttered.

"Please relax will you please, Ciel. I came here to heal Sebby, yah know." he stood up, one hand inserted into his right pocket.

Souma who was at Ciel's back glared at Agni who was standing beside Sobby. "Agni, I told you to take care Sebastian's cut, didn't I?"

"Indeed I did Prince Souma. But his cuts are not stoppin' from bleeding no matter what I do." Agni said and bowed for apology.

Ciel flinched with torment, his emotions were now rumbling. The angst was there, the sorrow, the anxiety and the pain was inside him... torturing him slowly. All in all just because of Sebastian, his butler who was his beloved.

"I can heal him." Sobby proclaimed, breaking the solid silence that went through inside the room. Souma, Agni and Ciel turned their head towards him. The uncertainty on their faces were there.

"What? I said I came to heal him, didn't I?" Sobby fake a pout. Agni and Souma wore a big smile and exclaimed, "Please DO mister Sobby!"

"I do insist that you leave now." Ciel disagreed and sighted the door, "The door is wide for you to exit." He added in a cold tone, disregarding the sudden 'Eeh-ing' of Souma and Agni at the same time.

Sobby shook his head in disbelief and replied, "You think you can heal Sebastian using that human aid? Do you know, in any minute by now he could be at his limit? But well, I guess he is at his limit already. He loses so much blood. He needed mine Earl Ciel..."

He was stunned. His hands that were trembling were clenching, he tightened his fist in order for them not to notice that he was shaking. But it can't be help... he was just too obvious that indeed he was shaking.

Sobby broke his quivering, "You don't want him to die, do you? I can heal him. But if the master doesn't persist, then who am I to pursue?"

"..."

He couldn't utter a word, but a moan of pain that came from Sebastian startled him. The butler was so pale, his wound was bleeding profusely...and Sebastian was grasping his chest and it surely hurts terribly at that area. He fisted his hand again, he couldn't bear to see his butler's weak state, he couldn't bear to see Sebastian suffering in pain...and most of all, he couldn't allow him to die. As he glimpsed at Sobby, he focused his azure eyes at his black ones. He said, "Can you really save him?"

Sobby chuckled, "Of course." He paused and smirked at him, "...but in a condition though." The last part made Ciel widened his eyes, Souma could almost punch Sobby in the face but Agni was there, restraining him to do so.

"You said you wanted to save Sebastian for he was your brother! But you're bartering a condition to Ciel just to do that?! Are you even a human?!!!" Souma growled, the admiration he had at the man earlier was replaced with great anger.

Sobby grinned at him, then looked back to Ciel and replied, "I'm actually willing to help but I need some benefits on the contrary, but I guess you're right. Maybe I'm not a human, not even worthy for that title." He winked at Ciel, only the boy could understand what he meant. Ciel lifted his chin up, leveling from that of Sobby despite the fact that he was short.

Desperately he uttered, "What condition do you want?"

"Ciel don't!! He's just using you!" Souma interrupted, he can sense something bad about this. But when the earl glared at him with a face of don't-worry he decided to not to interrupt anymore. After all, this was for Sebastian's sake, so precisely the earl would do anything just to save the butler.

Sobby turned his head towards Souma and then to Agni, and finally back to Ciel with a face of indicating that he would only tell his condition if the two were not around. Ciel got what he meant so he said, "Let's go to my office." instead of ordering the two to go out.

Sobby nodded as he smiled evilly, glancing at once at his brother who didn't have any idea what was going on. He smirked, he's not that devil for making a deal, it's just that... he really needed that bargain.

That conversation on his office ended faster than he'd thought, it was just a matter of minutes, and a matter of seconds that he was shocked and stunned in a total disbelief after accepting Sobby's condition. It's not that big deal though, but....was it really alright? He didn't even know what was Sobby's real motive, the demon didn't explain the whole thing. He shoved his head.

For Sebastian's sake...he uttered within. Sobby interrupted his great silence, "I guess it's time for me to leave and heal Sebby, I'm afraid he had suffered a lot of pain already." Ciel nodded and followed the demon exiting the office.

For Sebastian...

Sobby wiped his wrist with a linen cloth before he had the urged to bite it. His fangs deepen the bite and as the red fluids were flowing, his free hand managed to lift and open up Sebastian's pale mouth. So there, he positioned his bleeding wrist above the butler's mouth and the crimson liquid from his wrist were now dripping down to Sebastian. That caused the butler to swallow the viscous liquid unconsciously.

Sebastian seems to feel that someone's been pouring something onto his mouth, it's viscous but more likely...blood? Blood! He wanted to open his eyes to see what was happening, and to seek the very person's profile. But seems his body won't let him, he can't even take back his conscious to the fullest.

The liquid continues to drip in his mouth, he can't do any but to swallow it or else he'll choke. The taste...it seems so very familiar to him...it seems that he's swallowing...his own blood! What's this all about? Is he dreaming or something? Or maybe...he's dead?!!! Dead? No way! He can't be dead...Ciel, where is Ciel? He wanted to see his master, where is he? He can't just die leaving his master all alone...he promised didn't he?

He would continue serving his master...but what is he doing this time? He can't even have his conscious back to normal, he can't even open his eyes nor to hear any sounds! He's useless as ROCK. Last night, yeah he remembered...the pain...he could still feel it but wait a minute. The more he swallows these viscous liquid, the more he feels like...regaining his strength???!!! Now, he felt that the pain he was fighting against before were seemed slowly disappearing. He wanted to open his eyes...to see his master...to see Ciel...but, why the hell he COULDN'T??? Ciel...

Just then, he lost his consciousness again and fell into a deep sleep.

"Will he be alright?" Ciel asked worriedly as he witnessed how Sobby healed the butler. He felt a tad of relief when he noticed that Sebastian's wounds were slowly healing while Sobby made him drunk his blood. His sore body gone back to normal and it didn't even left a scar. Surely, demons were unpredictable. Souma and Agni weren't there inside the room anymore; he had ordered them to go out. They would just collapse if they'd notice that Sobby wasn't human, as well as Sebastian.

"Precisely." After confirming that he had gave enough blood to Sebastian, Sobby licked the cut on his wrist. And for Ciel's disbelief, Sobby's wrist was healed right after, and just like Sebastian it didn't leave a single scar. "But I presume he'd wake up tomorrow morning. He still needs to regain his consciousness."

"Is that so..." Ciel sighed deeply, now he felt lighten up. It's a good thing now that Sebastian couldn't suffer the pain anymore, plus, the wounds were gradually healing. To ensure that his butler would wake up, that alone was enough. It's a good thing isn't it? He sighed again as he could feel a sudden throb in his heart. Maybe because he was just too happy knowing that Sebastian was now alright. He seated down on the chair beside Sebastian's bed and with great relief, he grabbed the butler's hand and held it tight, enclosing it inside his small palms.

"You love him, don't you?" Sobby intruded. Ciel was stunned for a bit.

"As my butler, yes." came the reply. It was true, yet it lacks one thing.

"You know, Ciel, you can't lie to me." Ciel just then blinked.

Ah, really Sebastian and Sobby are siblings...both can tell whether he lies or not. It proves one thing, they're demons. He felt a sudden hurt on his chest as he thought of that. That's the biggest gap between him and Sebastian, it kind of...suffocating him.

"But you know, my brother sees you in a different way. He loves you not just being his master. I envy you because of that Young Phantomhive. But it can't be help, you're cute in a way. I could even fall in love with that arrogant azure eye of yours." Sobby said, whether he's teasing or not, Ciel couldn't exactly know.

What bothers him was what had Sobby revealed: Sebastian loved him more than a master? Haha that's absurd. But still, there was a tiny part of him that wanted to confirm it. Maybe...just maybe. "Love me? Do demons know how to love? You are trying to be funny, aren't you?" the earl fake a laugh, his hand was still entwined with Sebastian, trying to get more warmth from the butler's hand. But couldn't find any.

"Do I? What do you think?" Sobby bounced back the question, a tiny grin was on his lips. Ciel drop down his shoulders into surrendering, nothing would come out good if this demon was the one you were talking to. But somehow, he felt like he wanted to believe Sobby, to believe that Sebastian truly loved him, not being a master but being a normal person...Person? Yeah, he almost forgot that he's a human, not a demon unlike Sebastian. How uncanny.

"How should I know?" Ciel softly replied. "I couldn't read thoughts unlike demons."

". . ."

Sobby flailed his hands into air and fixed his white bangs right after. "I need to go now, seems like I stayed here for too long, nah."

Ciel glared at him and then frowned, "Go on. No one needs you here anyway. I must thank you that you'd leave without waiting for my order to do so."

"Aw, how rude of you Ciel Phantomhive. After saving Sebastian that is how you treat me? Change that attitude of yours, Ciel." Sobby placed his both hands at each side of his waist, glaring back at Ciel.

"Saving him is your real motive in the first place, that's why you came here, remember?" the earl replied in an arrogant tone.

Sobby's jaw dropped down but he managed to recover. "That too, but what I'm rooting more was the deal we made. The moment he wakes up, remember, the condition we agreed must then start." The white haired demon grinned, as if, he had just won his precious victory over something.

Ciel sighed, the condition was not a big deal...but. Will Sebastian accept it? What would he think about it? He wonders. He focused his sight at the sleeping butler on the bed and said at the same time, "I know. Goodbye then."

"It's not goodbye Ciel. It's take care." Sobby corrected as he flapped one hand and then vanished from Ciel's sight in just a blink of an eye.

~_~

It was morning. Time travels really fast, isn't it?

He could feel something warm enveloping his right hand. He tried to open his eyes and it seemed it's going to work on this time. As he trailed the source of warm wrapping around his hands, he was then astonished knowing who the owner was. As he opened fully his red eyes, he saw the very first person he craved to see. "My Lord..."

Sebastian slowly rises up, sitting carefully afraid that his master would wake up. He smiled seeing Ciel on his sleeping state, it was such an embarrassing yet cute moment. He tried to free his hand from the boy's grip but Ciel just moan, as if not wanting to let go of his hand even though he was still asleep. His free hand moved on its own and landed on the boy's face, caressing him gently on his cheek.

It was warm...

Sebastian sighed, so he wasn't just dreaming. The figure in front of him now was the real one...the real one. He was then stunned after realizing something. He reached for his chest and examined his whole body. The cuts weren't there anymore! He couldn't locate even a single wound or a scar left on his body, the pain was no more to feel. What happened?

Ciel made a slight movement not noticing that Sebastian was awake, Ciel yawned. As the boy rubbed his sleepy eyes he then widen them the moment he saw Sebastian who was already awake.

He exclaimed, "Sebastian, y-you're awake!" the butler just smiled, his bangs fell off covering his red eyes. His black hair was a bit mess, seemed like it wasn't been comb for a hundred years, but for Ciel his butler looks good even in that state.

"I was...my wounds?" the butler stammered. He couldn't really remember what happened last night after he had fainted. What exactly happened after he fainted? Who healed his wounds? It couldn't be possibly that..."Sobby. He was here, am I right." The butler asked as he lowered down his eyesight, only for him to see the thick mattresses covering his lap.

Ciel staggered as he stood up, "I owe him for healing you, Sebastian. If it wasn't because of him then maybe, I'll go mad." The boy was shuddering, Sebastian could hear his sobbing afterwards. Ciel tried to stop those damn tears, he forced himself not to but those tears were moving on their own. Sebastian's red eyes on the first time bulged out from the sockets. He couldn't believe that his master was crying...he made him cry?

"My Lord, I'm sorry I had troubled you." Sebastian wore an apologetic face. He caressed Ciel's cheek, helping him to wipe out those tears.

Ciel smiled but then he frowned afterward. "Idiot! Idiot! You're really an idiot Sebastian! How could you make me worry so much? Didn't you know how scared I was the moment I saw you on the floor, showering with blood? You're…" Ciel cried out, unable to hide his feelings anymore. But as he realized, he blushed, so he turned his back for him not to see his embarrassment.

Sebastian gripped the boy's hand and pulled Ciel causing the boy to land on his lap. Ciel himself was a bit surprise, he just stared at his butler with a confuse look. Sebastian stared back at him...daringly. Sebastian didn't want to let go the boy so he enveloped him within his arms, embracing Ciel tightly yet at the same time gently.

Ciel wore a flushed face as he could hear his heart thumps, it was so fast that it could almost jump out from his chest. And there it was, whose thumping heart was this besides him? He could hear someone's been rolling a drum...no it wasn't a drum...it's a heart that beats faster than his. Sebastian held him tighter as his hands were caressing his soft hair. Ciel choked at his own saliva, could it be that it was Sebastian's heart that thumps and beats louder than a drum? Was that really possible?!

"Ciel...I-I'm really sorry for worrying you. But I'm so glad that you were worried about me, it's like a dream come true." His butler mumbled. Ciel could feel the warmth of Sebastian's breathe against his skin, and he closed his eyes by the intense sensation he felt. And to add, his butler addressed him on his own name without being ordered at, it felt like....he was in a cloud nine, he could drown as if it's an ecstasy.

"It's okay Sebastian. You, you are precious to me so it's normal I'd worry." came the reply.

Sebastian faced him right after, their faces were just an inch away from each other. Then the butler asked, "Do you love me, My Lord?" Ciel was dumbfounded with that straightforward question, but he felt a bit pain when Sebastian addressed him My Lord again. He didn't know why and when, but it seemed like he had come to hate those two words...because that would always remind him the gap that he and Sebastian were in. Master and Slave.

So, instead of answering him yes he asked coldly, "Why did you ask such thing?"

"I just want to. If you DO then I'd be really happy My Lord." Sebastian replied in a very blissful voice, grabbing Ciel's chin he lifted it up. Ciel wore a perplex look and asked again, "Why would you?"

Sebastian leaned closer and closer at him, and with a smile and delight on his face he answered, "Because I love My Lord more than anyone else." Ciel grinned forcefully and said, "Of course you would, I'm your master remember." he knew, he sounded like jerk when he'd said that...he was obviously shaking, even his voice was dry. It was certainly because of the pain from the fact that Sebastian loved him as a master.

"It's not like that. It's like this..." Sebastian cupped Ciel's chin and pulled him closer, so he could kiss Ciel. The earl widened his azure eyes as the butler continued exploring inside his mouth, tracing and tasting every bit of Ciel's lips. Though he was totally surprised, astounded, thunderstruck, staggered, and even dumbfounded, for Ciel he had been into the place of what they call -heaven.

Parting their lips he heard the butler say, "I love you, Ciel." he wasn't so sure about it, whether it's true or not...but he was sure that Sebastian had said that...it was so clear and at the same time tender, full of emotions and love and passion.

If he was dreaming right now, Ciel wouldn't want to wake up. 'Please, let us stay like this forever...even if it's a dream.' The boy silently wished as he rested his head on his butler's chest. It's a good thing the wounds weren't there anymore.

A minute have passed, or maybe it's just a second, Sebastian, his demon butler embraced him tight and said in assurance, "It isn't a dream, Ciel."

Hearing that, Ciel Phantomhive cried silently. Feeling the butler's warmth around his body, he was now secured, then he uttered, "I know."
