I'm back! The chapters would be shorter than the other stories ones cause they all happened in the past. I'll be focusing more on the important points first then elaborate when the time comes. So here it is… Enjoy!

Ciel looked at the parcel in front of him. It was opened. He bent down and placed the letter inside. The last letter he would give to Sebastian, the last chance for him to explain himself. Sebastian… I'm sorry.
Then, he removed the ring from his left thumb. Ciel held it up, letting the light reflect off. A sad smile spread across his features. This ring was a gift from Sebastian. A shard of a whole diamond, a part of the whole. Sebastian had the other portion. When the two were put together, they formed the hope diamond. It also symbolized their love as one. It was a pity that was no longer true. After all, their relationship was broken. Ciel placed the band into its original box. The lid snapped shut and Ciel left it in the parcel. Never giving it a second glance, he stood up and left the room.
"Ding, dong," his doorbell sounded. Ciel opened it and found a messenger standing in front of him.
"Yes?" he asked. "How can I help you?"
"Good day, Sir, I'm here to pass you a letter," the male replied. He handed Ciel the letter and the latter accepted it. One glance and he knew it came from the higher-ups. He had a job to accomplish, a mission to complete.
"Thank you,' Ciel said and signed the clipboard before closing the door behind him. Sigh. It looked like he would be away again. Walking into his room, he opened the envelope and tossed it into the waste basket.
After reading the contents, Ciel burned the letter. A habit that started off as an order. The letter did not state how long it would take but it hinted that this case was not like the previous ones, easy and straight forward. And it did say that such as case like this would mean that the taker would have to risk his life.
Ciel gnawed his lip. Should I... not go for this? I should be able to talk to the higher-ups but they might force me to do it anyway. What if... I don't come back? Sebastian... What if I don't see you again? I haven't explained myself yet...
Dear Sebastian,
If you are reading this, it means that you want to know my explanation or perhaps find any evidence that you might use against your rivals. Sebastian, if there is any time that you are fed up by reading and can't be bothered anymore, my words still stand. Please remove the traces of this parcel and its contents from the face of the earth.
If you were to take a look in the parcel again, you would see a ring box. I am returning this ring to you. One shard of the hope diamond. I feel and know that I don't deserve this gem anymore. It shouldn't belong to me. What I had hidden from you, and what I did... There isn't any hope left for me. Hope that we would be the same again. Hope that I would be able to meet you for the last time. Hope for us to fall in love once again. Hope for a chance for me to say goodbye. Thank you Sebastian, for all the times we had. For the comfort you gave me and the encouragement. I swear those times will remain in my heart forever.
Since you already know what I really am, I'll tell you this. But please keep this to yourself or you would bring harm to you. My last mission... It did not go well. Perhaps it was the fact that I did not have the ring on my finger. Or it was just that the previous night before I left, you were not beside me. Either way, I knew that my life would be in danger. I have failed, but I have realized something else—What you see is not what it really is. The surface is what you see, but on the inside, it goes much deeper beneath the surface. I'm sorry Sebastian, I cannot say anymore.
I miss you Sebastian. I really do. I miss those eyes, your voice, the heat of the body, the feel of your lips on mine, I remember them all. And I miss them all, as well. But I'm thankful for the times we had. Never will I forget them.
In this parcel, I am also returning the photographs of us to you. You may think it is stupid to give them to a loved one that will never forgive me, but I want you to remember the last happy times we spent together, before... the truth was known. You can burn them, vent your anger of me on the photographs. I will understand. What I really want is to stand before you and ask to be forgiven. But it's too late now.
So... All I can do is to explain on paper. There is another envelope in the parcel. I have written my explanation down. It is up to you whether you want to believe me or just forget everything about us and pretend I never crossed your path. I will leave that choice to you.
Love,
Ciel
Sebastian received the full explanation from Ciel. Would he accept it or burn it without reading? Review if you have time! Any improvements I can make?
Reviews and comments please. Criticism is much appreciated. Flame it if you must.
