Anime: Kuroshitsuji/Black Butler

Pairings: CielxSebastian... Still deciding for others...

Summary: Just read the ~Prologue~

Warnings: This contains YAOI which means boyxboy ( In future Chapters )... Ciel here is about decades or maybe a century old however, he still appears like a child. So to some people it might feel uncomfortable if he and Sebastian have a relationship so I'm just warning you people! This fic may or may not also contain lemon ( I'm still having second thoughts though... )

Has OCs... and maybe a bit OoC for Ciel and Sebastian cause, it's been years since they both had their former lives as Master and Servant so, surely there'd be changes...

Disclaimer: I do not own this anime nor do I profit in anyway while writing this fanfiction... It is a FANfiction... I only own Hellene and Collette...

Note: This fic is set about a century or maybe just a few decades after season 2 so people like Elizabeth, Ciel servants and other humans showcased in the original anime would be dead by the time the story starts. Of course character like Grell, Undertaker and other non-human beings will still be alive so I might put them in later chapters... There'd be OCs but I really didn't mean to put them there into a spot light position since I'm not really a fan of them myself but since I needed them to make sense of the story here they are...

Oh guyz (Xx~~~xX) means the start and end of a flashback...

And also (...) means a time skip... Don't forget!


~Chapter 6~

"I'm sorry."

Xx~~~xX

Sebastian was dumbfounded, and in a first time in his demonic life, he did not know what to say. And just when he was about to say something, something unexpected happened. Hanna just jumped on top of the snow covered balcony. Yes, Hanna Annafellows, one of the demons who started all of this. And all of a sudden all of the pity, the understanding and compassion Sebastian was suppose to be feeling for Ciel was gone and replaced with memories of a person he could only think of as a brat which fueled his rage even more.

"Sebastian Michaelis. I see you have not coped up with your new arrangement," she said flatly completely feeling his rage towards the poor young demon. Hanna silently made her way to Ciel and gently hugged him. The other was quite shocked with such gesture however, he did leaned in to touch. It was somehow a foreign feeling but he didn't mind he needed the comfort, when he was still a human he would never indulge into such a pathetic gesture, his pride would never allow it.

But.

But… This time he needed it, needed it badly.

Sebastian watched wordlessly as his proud master surrender his act of strength.

"You must be sad and tired, it was a good thing Claude made me come and check on you." she said caressing the boy's slate hair.

"C-Claude?" the other two questioned in unison, mouth agape.

"Yes. He was quite worried about you." she answered in a whisper she then assigned herself in pecking the younger's head, still held her arms. Ciel silently gasped at the touch, remembering how his mother used to do the same when he was but a young boy, however he refused to cry.

"Why would he be worried about me? I'm just a soulless brat after all!" he retorted.

"Oh, you shouldn't think like that! We care for you! Even Alois! We did this for your own good, we just didn't expected Sebastian to treat you this way!" she comforted.

Sebastian scoffed. "How do you expect me to act in eternal servitude with nothing as a price?" he spoke, calmly.

"So you really do not understand yet, do you not?" she sighed and returned her gaze to Ciel.

"How is Claude still alive? I'm sure I killed him." Sebastian asked calmly.

"You did. And I did my utmost to revive him. Unfortunately, I was not good enough. It would take him a century or so to recover." she uttered sadly. She slowly pulled away from the hug and held the boy with her hands in his skinny shoulders, all the while looking at him straight in the eye.

"He's not yet ready, Ciel. Take this." she said referring to a small bottle (with some kind of rd liquid inside) she brought and gave it to Ciel. "If you feel that you can't take it anymore, drink it. Don't worry everything will be fine, you would still return." Hanna assured. Ciel gave her perplexed look, seeing this, the female demon leaned closer to the child's ear and gave him a whisper. Sebastian curiously watched as Ciel's eyes widened while he clutched the bottle harder. Wanting to know what they were whispering about, Sebastian strained his demon senses but it was too late, as all he heard was "…when the time is right." and of course, he was greatly disappointed. Little did Sebastian know that that phrase will hunt him longer then he expected. And finally Ciel nodded albeit reluctantly.

"Very well, I shall take my leave." she bowed and with that she left. And just like that she was gone as fast as she appeared.

~XxX~

There was a moment of silence, until...

"Sebastian, you will not forgive me, right?" Ciel silently asked, his bangs covering his only dark blue eye. If not for Sebastian's hearing he would have never heard it.

'Was going to be bound more than he already was? Was he never going to be free from this curse if he accepted the cry for forgiveness?'

Sebastian hesitated longer than to be expected.

And then everything happened like a blur.

Ciel looked up to him and gave him a tearful smile dripping of sadness. He griped the bottle bearing the crimson, opened it and, at last, drank it. The sight he would see next would always hunt Sebastian until eternity was no more, for he saw something a hundred times more painful then serving his young master for eternity. The young Phantomhive mouthed something…

'I'll be waiting…'

And then Ciel fell limp onto the floor his eyes still half lidded but it was dull, glassy and lifeless. This time Sebastian was at much more shock than he was a few minutes ago. He couldn't move he stayed frozen in place, eyes wide. When he finally managed to gather enough strength (and wit) to take his advance into the limp figure in front of him, he did so.

"Yo..ung ma…ster?" he choked out. He pulled Ciel unto his broad arms and held him bridal-style. He has no pulse. He is not breathing. But Sebastian knew too well that somewhere in this hollow shell he called his master, was Ciel Phantomhive.

He examine his body. His master truly is a work of art, one that would put a famous craftsman into shame. Porcelain skin, beautiful grayish-blue hair, his pale but soft lips, and most of all his cold but caring Lapiz Lazuli eyes.

Not anymore...

They were dull and lifeless.

And then Sebastian realized his mistake and painfully he did so. Memories of his time in the manor, the rare times his master would show him and the servants kindness and worry when one gets hurt or has troubles. How his master would show compassion to people who were innocent and cruelty to those who are guilty. The times his master would amuse him. How his master would sometimes open up to him and treat him as his equal in closed and private doors.

And with this he also realized something about himself. How he would strain himself in protecting the other. How he would do whatever he can to comfort him after a nightmare. How he himself didn't mind doing those pitiful tasks for his precious young master. All these he forgot when he was blinded by self pity after Ciel Phantomhive turned into a demon. With a shocked expression he finally understands where he was going to. Sebastian then fell onto his knees. He… he…

He loved him…

Xx~~~xX

"Tha-that's tragic!" exclaimed Hellene feeling tearful herself too. He never expected the demon to open up this much of his own side of the story.

"I'm afraid so…" Sebastian answered truthfully still a bit pained of reliving his dreadful experience. "After that I spent years of looking for Hanna in search of the antidote. I even asked people I met during my time serving the young master while he was human."

"And who might that be?" she asked curiously.

"A man in the name of Undertaker. Unfortunately he didn't have the information I wanted to know." he sighed frustrated. "Now then it seems that your sister has been roaming around aimlessly around the manor to find you. We best be on our way to your breakfast."

"O-okay."

They both left but did not leave the room without throwing the sleeping beauty one last glance.

'… when the time is right.'

"When will that be?"

"Did you say something, Mister Sebastian?"

"Pardon? Oh, it was nothing My Lady, I assure you."
