Chapter twelve:
"Marie." it came out almost like a low, predatory growl. "What the hell do you want." I cursed.
"I told you not to tell." She whispered, her blue eyes glowing a demonic pink.
"What does it matter? What can you even do?" I interrogated. She placed a thin pale finger over her peach lips.
"It's a secret." She whispered, with that same demented look on her face.
"You sick, twisted brute." I stepped backward, reaching to take off my eye patch, and call forth my demon. She tilted her head to the side, her eyes starting to grow painfully wide.
"Don't call him Ciel, He'll just think you more an immature kid that he has to protect."
She's right.
Don't listen to her Ciel! Call Sebastian, you are just a kid!
shut up.
I shook away my mental conversation I had with myself, and I pulled my hand back.
"It'll be easier for everyone if you just turn yourself in Marie." I persuaded.
"Why would I do that?" She said sickeningly. "The fun's just beginning." She walked slowly to me, her figure becoming fuzzy and blurry every now and then, and once back in focus, she was only few inches away.
"What the hell are you doing!"
"Nothing dear Ciel." She raised a hand up to my cheek, bringing my head up to meet her gaze. She brought her face closer, glaring into my eye.
"Get away." I grunted with as much force as possible, still staying in place from shock.
"Ciel." She addressed me, before smiling. She revealed a set of teeth that made me want to puke. They were jagged at points. They were so acute, that you could just imagine them sinking into human flesh, tearing and ripping the victim apart till the bloodied heap was unidentifiable to anything. Marie fuzzed and disappeared.
"Shit" I uttered under my breath falling down onto my rump. Only then did the butler decide to wake up and come out with a yawn. Running up to me, Sebastian scooped me up and set my on my feet, keeping his hands at my shoulders. He looked down at me.
"Are you alright Love?" He asked me. I still just stayed in shock looking at his face. I was trying to comprehend everything that was happening now with Marie, with Sebastian… My legs felt a bit numb, and so in fear of toppling over, I wrapped my arms tightly around Sebastian's neck.
"Ciel?" Came his exasperated call when my head lolled and collided with his fine chest. I stood barely, breathing in the essence that was Sebastian.
"I'm… alright." I lied, enjoying the fact I could talk again. Taking a deep breath, Sebastian moved his hands around my waist.
"I'm glad." He chuckled skeptically.
"Yeah." I sighed, pressing my ear to his chest, as we stood unmoving. Never back then, would I have thought I would be in this posision with another male- let alone Sebastian. Neither would I have been able to picture Sebastian and I with locked lips, and laced hands. With soft eyes I looked at the male.
"Sebastian," I ignited the conversation.
"Yes Love?" He looked at me with those red eyes that I knew well- those red eyes that could read me like a book. Instinct willed me to look away, but I held the gaze on my account. I stood up straight.
"I.. I thought.. I've…" Spit it out Ciel "I've thought about… What I want a-and…" Come on! Get it over with! " Sebastian… I want to tell you what I've thought about."
His attention seemed to intensify towards me.
"Yes?"
"Well, I… want to know something Sebastian." He let one hand free and brought it up to my chin, I followed his pull, and stood on the tips of my toes.
"It's okay. Take your time." He told me, and laid his lips over my own peachy pair, for a light kiss. My insides burst into warmth that caressed every crevice of my innards, and I instantly relaxed back to normal. He broke the kiss, and put his hand back down by my waist, as I glided back off my toes.
"Why does love have to be so full of doubts?"
"Are you saying you love me?" I nodded sheepishly, then burried my face into his chest.
"I-idiot." I muttered.
"Ciel, you look so cute when you blush." He patted the top of my head.
"S-Shut up." I fumed.
"Sorry. Continue?"
"If we… change things… Will you still be so out of reach, Sebastian?"
"I'm distant?" He asked. "why do you feel like I am so out of reach Love?" He brushed hair from out of my face.
"Whenever you express your feelings, it always feels like your doing it because your required to. Not because you want to. Because if the contract ends, you'll leave me- Sebastian I don't want you to leave." I said in monotone vocals.
"Ciel, its been a long time since I've loved truly. Your teaching me what it's like to be happy, all over again." I smiled up at him. And he smiled right back.
"It's the mystery behind your eyes. The truth, the lies, all that is what makes me love you."
"My love"
I pulled away looking at the clock. Time went by fast, for the time left that we had; would be only 15 minutes till Grell came back.
I made my way over to the couch, and sat on one corner, only to be disappointed as Sebastian sat on the far other end. My sadness washed away though, as he opened his arms, and I crawled the length of the couch to reach him. I huddled into his side, and snuggled close, as he turned on the picture box.
" No, James! Don't shoot yourself, I'm sorry I love you!" a blonde on screen called.
"It's too late Roxanne, I know you cheated on my with my evil twin Marcus." said an overly dramatic brunette.
"Don't do it! Please! It was a mistake!"
"I'm sorry Roxy."
"Sebastian what is this?"
"I believe they call them soap operas."
"Pathetic."
The door opened as a loud laughter filled the house, and Grell walked into the room.
"No, My shows! No! Why James! Why! You shouldn't have shot yourself, you were so cute!" He complained falling to a puddle of mope on the carpet. I rubbed the bridge of my nose, stood and walked to my room.
"Sebastian, bring me a book to read."
"Yes, My Love."
Sebastian and I spent the rest of the day reading.
At night he dressed me in my sleep clothes, and laid me in my bed. Laying on top the blankets, he wrapped his arms around me.
"Goodnight."
"Goodnight. Sebastian, are we…"
"Ciel, you are mine. Alright?"
I nodded, and let him hold me till I was asleep once again.
[A/N:] Sigh.
I give up.
