Sebastians Michaelis Pov
~ The end, does that mean.. he's afraid of dying? I suppose I should clarify ~
"The end, my lord?"
"Yes you damned demon, the day you take my soul"
~ Of course, how could I forget, If you were to know.. I wish it would never come, no matter how tasteful your soul may be.. its one of a kind, I doubt a soul has had this much colour, texture and flavour for centuries. I can see it, I can see your soul and its beautiful and.. untouchable I realised a mere month after our contract was sealed ciel.. Its untouchable and should be left to blossom. If I were to consume such a soul it would devour me whole. Id never recover, Id thirst for another of equal delectable taste. However.. we have made a contract.. ~
"Your afraid of dying ciel? that doesn't seem like you at all"
Ciel Phantomhive Pov
Ciel shivered at his own name on the demons lips, Just as he remembered doing so in his night terror a mere hour before. The memory brought a sadness to his aura.
~ How blind are you demon?! You think im afraid of death.. but im afraid to lose you, Sebastian you are the one constant in my ever so meaningless life I don't know why but without you I feel truely alone.. This mask I have painted on in permanent ink, does it fool you too? ~
"No Im not afraid of death, I never was. I never expected to summon a demon, I had accepted death to be my eternal fate, I was ready to die. However you appeared from the mist, a spector of hell itself and offered me an escape, in which I took willingly. I accept the consequences of that action."
Sebastians Michaelis Pov
Sebastian could feel the tingle of repression and the obscure sadness in ciel.
~ If It wasn't fear of death? then what would have you so afraid my young lord. ~
" Your not telling me why your afraid though my lord "
" Im not afraid "
" You cannot fool me my lord, I feel your every emotion remember, that cloak you've masked yourself with, the sarcastic retorts, the careless demenor you try so hard to perfect. Do you really expect me to fall for your false appearences, young master? no, you don't I know you far too well ciel"
~ Dear ciel, tell me.. your weaknesses don't phase me, they never have. ~
Ciel Phantomhive Pov
~ No, I never should have suspected you to fall for it, but I don't show weaknesses to demons no matter what emotions you think you feel of mine. I must keep up this appearance no matter the cost of my sanity. ~
*Silence*
Ciel turned and disapeared into the manors interior, leaving Sebastian frustrated alone on the front steps of the mansion contemplating in the cold, bitter breeze.
