Chapter five:

Ifound myself running… running… running… out of breath, my heart pounding out of my chest. Everything in my vision was dark… pitch black…
"Sebastian!" I called
I heard malicious laughter.
"Sebastian! Save me!" I called again. Hands reached up from behind, grabbing, pulling at my hair… my clothes… "Let Go Of Me! God, Sebastian!" I screamed out.
More laughter.
"Hush…" A familiar voice called. Flames engulfed my surroundings. The red licking my skin, burning my flesh down to the bone.
"Sebastian!" I shouted as loud as I could before,
"Hush…" I was pulled back further into the crimson hall. "This will all be over soon…"
"Sebastian!"

"Sebastian!" I jumped out of bed. I was still panting, and sweat glistening on my forehead from the nightmare. My hair sticking to my skin. I looked for Sebastian around the black room.

"Sebastian!"

There was suddenly a hand at my right shoulder.

"Ciel, what ever got you so worked up."

I sighed with relief. Though, relief was the least of what I needed. My eyes adjusted to the dark, as I saw that the "digital" clock show it was only three in the morning. It was Sebastian that I was in front of. I couldn't show him how weak I feel, how scared I am. I don't want to be pitied, I don't want to be treated like a kid.

"My Ciel, Tell me what's the matter." Sebastian asked, sitting by me in the navy blue bed.

"Nothing."

"Please?" He asked, wrapping his arms around my waist. My stomach jumped.

"No, nothings wrong Sebastian." I said, nuzzling myself into his lap, into his strong hold.

"I see… It was another nightmare?" I flinched at his words. He brought his left right hand up to the back of my head, and stroked it comfortingly.

"No, it wasn't anything Sebastian." I kept lying. I don't need - nor do I want - his pity.

"I see." I put my nose to the crook of his neck, and I did the last thing I wanted to do.
I started to cry.
It was just small whimpers, I didn't want Sebastian to see this side of me. Even though I kept it inaudible, I'm sure my tears that wet his shirt, and my slight trembles around his hold made it obvious to him that I was surely crying. He didn't do anything though. He said nothing, he didn't coo to me that everything would be alright; that it was just a dream… He just held me in his arms, and stroked my head.

Just like those times from so many years ago… Sebastian; I thought talking to him, yet I already know he can't read my mind. I don't want to loose you… I don't want you to leave me. Please don't… Sebastian, I love you.

Almost a half an hour later, I finally laid myself back down on the bed for sleep. I was determined not to have anymore nightmares for the rest of the night. As the weight lifted off my bed, my chest tightened. Out of a sudden whim, I reached out in the darkness and grabbed Sebastian's sleeve. I let go immediately and retreated my hand to underneath my covers. But Sebastian knew I had held on. He knew I didn't want him to leave. Again, I rolled onto my right side to face the wall, and I felt a pressure on the left half of the bed. Was Sebastian climbing into the bed? With me on it? I felt his hands return around my waist through the covers. A wave of nostalgia washed over me. Only if it could be like this forever. Once more, I dared to let myself go into a dreamless sleep.

It felt like only five minutes had passed…
"Ci…"

Who wakes me?

"Wake… Ciel…"

Sebastian?

"Time to…. School… wake up…" Bit and pieces of the sentences were cut off.

Five more minutes please, I want to sleep.

"Ciel, wake up."

I sat up, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes with my back knuckle.

"Good, your up" Sebastian smiled. I growled at him.

"I'd rather still be sleeping." Came my response.

"But you have an hour till school starts." I grunted at his words.

"I don't want to go. Sebastian, I want to go back." Little did he realize I was talking about more than just the other world. He shook his head.

"Against the rules."

"God damn you and these rules Sebastian." I spoke.

"Someone's a bit grouchy without their morning tea." Came a slightly tired voice from the hall, which I imagined was Grell.

"Shut it!" I yelled irritated at the man. He peaked his head in long enough to stick his tongue out at me, and my pillow to come in close contact with his face.

"Idiot." Sebastian muttered.

We went through the normal morning routine, though what he got me dressed in was different.

It was a long dark green shirt, short sleeved and V-neck, and a pair of black basket ball shorts - again. It was a different pair of matching ankle high white socks, and the same black converse. He put my eye patch over my right eye, and smiled at me.

He wore the same outfit as yesterday, but it smelled fresh… It smelled like… Sebastian.

We walked out of the room together, to see Grell sitting down at the table eating pancakes.

"Show, da bush will shome pick shu up at sheven frifty." Said Grell with a full mouth.

"Eh, thanks Grell." Sebastian said, obviously as disgusted at the site as I was.

Well, a new school day, I'm totally going to look forward to that.

The bus ride there wasn't that bad. Most of the kids were quiet and others were easy to block out. Though there was still that one girl from the back of the bus who kept staring at me. It was the girl from the office, the one with brown hair, who looked Mexican. She only sat about 3 rows behind, but the distance was too close in my opinion.

As we unloaded off the bus, Sebastian and I rushed to out first and second period: it was a simple block class. It was two hours of language arts, and history.

The room was a bland light yellow color. There was a clock on the wall, that ticked inevitably slow. We showed the bald teacher our schedules, who glared at them with a hawk like gaze. He nodded, and placed me in between two girls, a Blondie, and the black haired girl from the office. To much dismay, the male placed the butler on the opposite side of the room, in between a long haired blonde male, whom I discovered was named Michael, and the chocolate haired girl, whose name I learned was Alice. Apparently, she was the one who beat the black haired girl. Which was why they were in the office yesterday. The girl immediately got on my nerves because she started to flirt with my Sebastian. W…what? No, I'm not gay. I tried convincing myself. She felt his muscles through his shirt, and my jaw tightened.

"Hi! I'm Marie!" The black haired girl stated.

"Hello, My name is Ciel." I greeted formally. Her mouth dropped.

"Dude! You have an accent! That's so hot! Well, uh, I guess cute, 'cause your super duper cute." She smiled, rocking back on her chair. I silently hoped it would break, so she would quit bugging me.

"Thanks." Was all I could say.

"So that guy over there," She whispered, noticing my glare at the people that were talking to him. "He your boyfriend?" My eyes widened, and I'm sure my face was at least peach, instead of pale

"N-N-No! No Sebastian is not!" I stuttered. Yeah, he's just a guy that climbs into bed with me at night to comfort me when I have nightmares. Not a boyfriend at all. I silently said to myself. I also tried to remember all I had thought and or said to him last night, or this morning. However, my memory failed.

Another hour had to pass before the teacher gave us a ten minute break. Almost instantly, Sebastian was by my side again. Like it should be. But, girls were swarming us. It made me uncomfortable.

"Sebastian, make the head aches go away." I ordered.

"I don't think I can" He complied.

"Sebastian, tell the teacher to make them stay away from us." I said.

"As you wish." So he told the teacher, and they all proceeded to leave, and huddle around Alice.

"Sebastian, I want to go home." I said, loud, Alice kept staring at us.

"Sorry, we can't." He told me

"What do you mean "Can't"?" I asked quoting him. That Alice better quit staring at us. She's pissing me off.

"Against the rules." He stated.

"Whatever." I huffed.

"Hey Ciel," Alice called out to us. Everyone, except the teacher, averted their gazes to Sebastian and I. "Why do you treat Sebastian as if he's a Servant?" Dumb ass, because he's my Butler!

"Because he's-" I was stopped by Sebastian who placed a hand onto my left shoulder.

"And you Sebastian, Why do you put up with it?" She asked.

"The answer is simple," He said. Gliding his hand over my chest, to rest it on the other shoulder, bending down to give somewhat of a backwards hug. "Ciel, is mine."
