Everything was hurting, his right eye, his body and his heart. He heard the sound of machines blip and calm breathing, and not his own. It came from his side. He opened his eyes slowly to find that his right eye was covered up by something that felt like cotton and bondage. He looked the way the breathing came from. On his right side of what seemed to be a hospital bed sat the same man he had been saved by, and the same man he had fucked last night. He was awake but didn't seem to notice he was awake. Ciel looked at the roof and kept quiet.
Why was Sebastian there? Did they ask him to come with them? As someone who knew the injured?
"Ciel?"
"Mhm."
A reviled sigh came from Sebastian as he turned to the bed. He looked sad and…happy.
"I'll tell the doctor you woke up."
The boy didn't have time to demonstrate or ask why he was here before he was gone to get a doctor. Ciel looked at the door that soon would be opened again. A man clad in white came in with Sebastian after him. Sebastian sat down again and held Ciel's right hand.
Why is he holding my hand? We look like a couple who is going to get to know if their pregnant or not. Though I'm not a woman. And I wouldn't be this wounded.
"Ciel Phantomhive. I have bad news. I have already called your parents and told them you are okay and they don't have to worry. And I told them about your eye."
"W-what's wrong with my eye?"
"When the car crashed, some glass got stuck over your right eye and you got several cuts in your face and on your hands. And the wound over your eye was bleeding very bad and a lot of blood came in contact with your eye. We have removed the piece of glass and you didn't hurt your eye more."
Sebastian tightened his rip around his hand witch made him look over at Sebastian for a minute, Ciel had a worried and scared expression as he slowly looked back at the doctor. Waiting to know what exactly was wrong.
"I'm very sorry, but with the amount of blood that you got in your eye have made you blind on your right eye."
"How.. How the hell do you know!?"
"We can remove the bondage and you can try see if you want."
Ciel couldn't accept being this young and lose his sight on his right eye. The doctor carefully removed the bondage and Ciel opened his eye. He felt like crying. He squeezed Sebastian's hand tight. He was indeed blind on his right eye. He did as he felt and started to cry, sobbing quietly as he looked down. He let go of Sebastian's hand to cover his face as his sobbing became louder. Sebastian moved so he was sitting on the bed and wrapped his arms around him. The doctor left the room quietly to let Ciel take it in and calm down a bit. He wasn't hurt in anyway except his eye and his feelings. Sebastian's hug was comforting and Ciel turned to wrap his arms around his waist so he could cry onto the others shirt, hiding his face.
"Ciel."
Sebastian said his name in such a sweet tone.
"Ciel.."
He kept saying his name and Ciel rubbed his face against Sebastian's shirt. He didn't want Sebastian to let go of him. He didn't want him to go. But still, he was too stubborn to say so. And no one could blame him for seeking comfort in another person after this. Anyone would let a distant friend comfort you in this state. Ciel didn't stop cry. This was a lot to take in. And it seemed that his parents didn't even bother to come here and see that he was mentally okay. He felt broken. Seventeen and half blind. Fucking great.
After some hours, Ciel finally calmed down a bit, his crying had stopped and he just stared onto the others chest as he sniffed a bit. Sebastian was patting his back gently.
"How do you feel?"
Sebastian asked and laid Ciel down, releasing him from his hug. Ciel faced the cold air in the room and wanted to get back into that warm caring embrace. Though he didn't allow himself to pull him down in a hug. He didn't answer either. He was still in a bit of shock.
"Ciel if you want I can help-"
"How. How the fuck can you help?"
He snapped and narrowed his eyes at the other. His left eye was as sapphire blue as ever, holding back more tears, making them sparkle a bit from the brightness in the room. The left was in a dull dark blue now. It hurt the older to look into his eyes now. To know he was in pain.
"To comfort you."
Ciel's eyes softened a bit and he opened his mouth to say 'no'. But he closed it again to think of this a bit more. He did like him, just couldn't accept it. Though let him 'help'. What kind of held would it be.
"What will you do if I say yes?"
"Anything you ask. Make you food…..Cuddle."
"…Can we stay at my house than?"
"Yeah sure, I was thinking about living on our own but I came over when you needed me."
"Fuck you…."
"Though living with you seem much better."
Ciel couldn't help but blush a bit. This was not what he needed.
Fuck this guy for making me act wired.
Sebastian had derived them to Ciel's place. He had helped him to get up the stairs and into his room. It was harder than he thought to walk with only using one eye. He had got a eye patch band aid from the hospital. It was a good thing Sebastian was there to help him walk. He had to get used to only see with his left eye now. His body was still hurting, so as fast they were there Ciel laid down in his bed with a sigh. This was going to be some rough weeks.
"Are you hungry or something?"
"Yeah."
"Want me to make food?"
"Yeah."
"What do you want?"
"I don't know….food."
"Then be happy with whatever you get."
Ciel turned in the bed so his back was facing the door that was open. He could hear Sebastian begin making food. This was not what he thought about doing when he woke up this morning. He didn't even think about waking up in someone else's house. But, he had someone making him food now for maybe a month. Until he actually could walk straight on his own. It couldn't take that much time.
Wonder what he was making. Due the sound of something boiling and something in the fry pan he guessed it was pretty well made. Though he didn't make a big fucking meal for him just to eat dinner. He would be happy with some ramen noodles.
"What are you making?"
He called from his room and waited for a answer.
"Steak."
Is this guy serious? He is making fucking steak!
Though Ciel was hungry and just wanted food right now. He could hear the sound of cabinets close and open, some plates cling as they touched each other and the table in his kitchen. Ciel's stomach growled and he held his arms around it.
"Is it done soon?"
"Yeah, ten minutes."
"That's not soon."
Ciel groaned and sat up with a bit struggle. He made his way out to the kitchen by holding chairs and hold his hands against the wall. This would be a pain. He came into the small kitchen and stared down at the nicely dished table. He laughed.
"This is not a fucking date. We're just eating."
"So I can't make the fucking food look good?"
"You can. But it's not a fucking date."
"Did I say it was? I'm here to help you make food so you don't burn down the house or fall to the ground. We could buy you a walking stick, or cane."
"No, just, you seem to make your best. Like on a date. And fuck no! I'm not getting a fucking walking stick! I'm not eighty!"
"Okay fine ass."
"Tsk."
Ciel sat down on one of the chairs and looked at Sebastian as he cooked. Though, what did he make to the steak. He never bought any potatoes. His eyes, or the eye that wasn't covered, traveled to the window and he let out a sigh as he saw snow start falling. Snow was the worst, it meant it was winter. Ciel hated winter more than anything else, if not his cousin. When come to think of it. She was always so worried about him, and now, after a car crash, she didn't even come to see if he was okay. No family member did, only Sebastian… The man who he least wanted to be stuck with for the moment.
It still hurt. What Lizzie had said. When thinking of what she said, it hurt more. He gritted his teeth at the thought. Everyone wanted their parents to love them, no matter how much you hated them or what life you choose. You want them to accept what you want to do. But some don't. Like Ciel's parents. They already lost their fait and probably love in him as he said he didn't want to live like he did. When he wanted to attend a normal school and not the catholic school his parents signed him up on. They thought he would be happy to go there. But Ciel ended up depressed when his parents didn't listen to him. So instead he kept locked in his room, the school was a '24/7' school as Ciel called it. The teacher had to drag him out from his room, often didn't succeed.
"The food is done."
Ciel snapped out of his little trans and looked over at the other male. He made Ciel happy in some way. The way he actually seemed to care about him. He was there after he had crashed. He pulled him out of the car and probably held his hand on the way to the hospital. He comforted him when he got the news about his eye.
Do Sebastian care?
Two plates were set down on the table. The steak looked delicious, and apparently he had used pasta instead of potatoes. He got Ciel some water and sat down in front of him.
"Something's missing?"
Ciel shook his head and slowly started to cut in the steak.
Why did Sebastian care?
The dinner Sebastian had made was amazing, he had never ate something that good in his short life. Though the dinner had been quite awkward, they both was quiet until Sebastian had asked where he would sleep. Ciel's only options were the sofa or his bed. Well, if he wanted the man to sleep comfortable. He had said the sofa and now they were going to get ready for bed. Ciel was looking for something Sebastian could use as a blanket.
"You don't got anything more?"
"No. I don't get guests."
Both of them sighed. Ciel clinched his fists.
"Sleep with me."
"What? I thought you didn't want-"
"What the fuck! I meant sleep in my bed then! I don't want to fuck you!"
He yelled and narrowed his eyes at him. Sebastian was….smiling. Soon he burst out in laughter. Ciel blushed and walked closer the other and hit his arm rather hard.
"Shut up!"
Ciel walked into his room and laid down in the bed. He watched Sebastian come in after him, he just turned him his back and huffed. Sebastian chuckled as he walked to turn the light of in the small apartment. When he came back he removed his shirt and jeans. He opened Ciel's closet to find some sweat pants to sleep in. He found some, they were three sizes to small but it was something. He laid down next to the already sleeping Ciel. The boy was breathing softly and was calm in his sleep. Sebastian dared to wrap a arm around him and snuggle close. He didn't care if Ciel hated him. He liked Ciel.
Soon they both was asleep and Ciel was in the other's arms. That Ciel had let him sleep in the same bed he actually didn't know. He could have just begged him to go to his place and get his own damn blanket. It wasn't that far from his house. Though he wanted him closer at that moment, to comfort him. He had felt a bit down after over thinking that his parents didn't care if he was dead or not. Or, that was how he saw it, and he was probably right.
He wondered how long Sebastian would and wanted to stay. His food today was amazing. It would take at least one month for Ciel to get used to walk and not see as he did with two eyes, but then, it would take years to sink in.
Why did I have to stop my car in the middle of the road.
