Hola! So this is another request from XenaTheAlienChick! The song is Viva La Vida by Cold Play. So a couple warnings on this one. It's very sad (because I like tear jerkers) so please be aware of that. Also, maybe a little tiny, tiny spoiler if you haven't seen the end of season one. Please enjoy!
Ciel woke, his heart beating fast and beads of sweat running down his face.
Another nightmare. Damn.
He glanced around the sun lit room and sighed.
"Good morning Sebastian," he mumbled knowing there was no one there to call back. He stumbled out of bed and walked to his wardrobe. He picked out his normal outfit of a white undershirt, green jacket, green shorts and a blue bow tie. He swiftly clothed himself and pulled on his socks and brown buckle shoes. He grabbed the black eye patch from his nightstand and tied it around his head, looked in the mirror, and sighed.
Everything has changed now.
He opened the door and walked out into the hallway, his shoes clacking on the floor noisily. It didn't matter. He was the only one there to hear it.
"Morning Finnian," he said as he glanced out into the garden. No one was out there anyway.
He walked into the large kitchen and smiled. "Good morning Bard. Mind if I make my own tea today?" his voice echoed through the empty kitchen, leaving Ciel speaking to the walls. He put a pot of water on the stove and left it to boil while he searched for his favorite tea, the tea Sebastian always made for him on the morning of a busy day. He pulled out a small aluminum tin labeled earl grey and scooped some of it in the tea pot. After the water boiled, he poured it into the glass tea pot and set it on the tray with one single tea cup.
He lifted the tray up and carried it to the dining room. He set the tea pot and tea cup at the head of the table and set the tray on the floor. He sat down in the large dining chair and picked up the tea cup and eyed it carefully.
"Thank you very much, Mey-Rin. This is my favorite tea cup." He said cheerfully, only to be met with silence. He poured himself a cup of tea and sipped it.
"My favorite. Thank you Sebastian."
He set the teacup back down on the table and looked around the room. He sighed.
"But you aren't here. Not anymore. All of you are gone, even Pluto. And it's all because of me."
Ciel sat in thought, thinking about how Sebastian always talked about how hard it was to kill a demon.
"Hard to kill a demon hm? But somehow they managed. They killed a demon. They killed my demon. "
He sipped his tea.
"You all died, trying to save me. Why did you all do that?" he spoke as if all of them were sitting at the table with him, as if they were there and going to give an answer. He then let out a breathy laugh, almost as if someone had told a joke.
"You know, it's funny. One minute I had everything, the next I don't even have anyone to give orders too. Also, Sebastian, we are running low on earl grey. Can you place in an order for more?"
He laughed at himself.
What a foolish game I'm playing. He thought to himself.
But he didn't want to stop. He didn't want to stop pretending that everything was normal again. He didn't want to realize that the servants he cared for very dearly died in a battle against an angel to try to keep him alive.
But sometimes you have to.
He sipped his tea once again.
Everything was so simple back then. Everyone had their place, and I had mine. And now, there is only one place. I have to fill it.
Please come back.
"but then again, I guess I'm not really a noble anymore so it may be more expensive than last time." He closed his eyes and sipped his tea, waiting for a response.
He wanted one so badly.
"S…Sebastian?"
Still no answer.
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to do without." He said, trying to keep his fake composure.
He stopped, looked straight ahead and sighed.
One single tear fell from his eye and splashed into the cup of earl grey.
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
Well hope it wasn't too sad. Not sure where I got this idea, but I liked it and thought it fit with the song. Anyway, hope that XenaTheAlienChick likes it and hope you guys have a great day! Don't forget to request!
