When Ciel woke up he did it very slowly but surely however. He soon grew aware of a few things, one he wasn't facing the window anymore he didn't need to open his eyes to know that and the second thing he realized was that there was an arm, wrapped securely and tightly around his waist and when he opened his eyes the blush that seared his face made him think he would wake Sebastian up from how hot his face had felt right at that moment. He looked directly into Sebastian's face, he felt a rush of panic, which was accompanied with surprise at how panicked he was and he wiggled out from under his arm.

He felt his heart thud against his chest with the feeling of a lonliness without his arm there, almost as though it was made to fit against him. He stood up walking across the room looking at Sebastian feeling hesitant about leaving but he walked out of the room, leaving the door open and when he walked down to his study he shut the door and rested against the door, his heart ached and trembled almost, it was too much, he didn't understand this feeling now.

He was cold, he was to be alone yet how can one person begin changing that? He let out a breath trying to make the blush disappear and when it didn't he felt a soft tremble start in his hands then slowly all over his body as he raked his hands through his dark blue hair and he took rapid deep breaths in. He needed to calm down but he felt so scared suddenly he was unable to calm down and he rubbed his hands against his face hard, hoping he could calm down possibly with his paper work and walked over to his desk. He felt bad for not going to school for a couple days but he could make all the work up rather than concerning about his damn feelings.

Ciel let out another breath as he set to work as the snow came down slowly out side layering up outside slowly and as he rested a hand against his forehead as he focused all his thoughts onto his work feeling grateful for the perfect distraction. When Sebastian woke up he panicked faintly when Ciel wasn't there and he sat up quickly, his black hair was messy and when his feet touched the floor he took off out the door to the study when Angelina and his father turned the corner and he stumbled to a stop as he met his father's dark eyes and he felt a tendril of dread wrap around him and he let out a breath as his father walked up to him and he placed hishands on his son's shoulders as Sebastian's eyes flickered to the study door briefly once.

"Son I know you won't like hearing this but. . I need you to do something for this job." He begins and Sebastain felt that dread double.

"And what would it be?" He asks slightly hesitant as his father let out a weary almost sad sigh.

"Sebastian I need you to go to California."

"C-California?!" He shouts the surprise blanketing his features.

"Yes. I know its a long way from here but I need you to do this for me son, I promised your mother this would be our perminent home but she knows what I need you to do for me, can you please do this for me?"

"I. . . I. . . "

"Please Sebastian, this is the only thing I will ever ask of you." His father says again shaking his shoulders softly. Sebastian didn't know if it was his own choice or that his father was all but begging him but even as everything inside him screeched out not to do it he very subtly, very gently, nodded his answer and his father patted his shoulder. "Thank you. I think it's best you go home and start packing, its short notice but your flight out is today."

"It is?" Sebastian asks his eyes once again flickering to the study door before he began walking down the hall with his father.

"Yes in about two hours is when it will be leaving."

"Ah I see." Sebastian replies nodding once as they went down the giant staircase and Angelina stayed behind as they walked right out the front door and she turned to the study door letting out a soft breath and knocked on it gently.

"Go away Sebastian!" Ciel immediately barks out behind the door and his aunt pushed it open and he blinked in surprise. "Oh its you."

"Yes. . . Ciel I have to tell you something rather important."

"What is that?"

"Sebastian is leaving."

"Oh well its about time his parents want him home already-"

"No Ciel, Sebastian is leaving the country, he's going to California."

"California?!"

"Yes, his father needs help with the office out there and he can't do it so Sebastian is going in his place."

"But I won't be able to see him again will I?"

"No possibly not for some time."

"But. . .Can't Sebastian just say no?"

"He could but he wants to help his father with this and he knows that he might night be seeing you again for a while. Ciel do you. . .care for Sebastian?"

"I. . . Well I guess he has rubbed off on me a bit with the time he's been here."

"Do you think you could care about him?"

"I guess I could if I was around him long enough."

"Then Ciel why don't you want to tell him that you care about him?"

"Because he'll get all smirky and smug!"

"Ciel!"

"Its true Aunt!" Ciel cries his blue eyes seemed to hold a completely other look however it looked like he was about to cry.

"Ciel, I understand you don't want to let anyone, let alone me, into your heart but is it possible that you have a growing soft spot for that man? Even a tiny one?"

"I don't know possibly, I-I can't tell I really can't."

"Think about it Ciel, for now just finish your work and you can do as you please for the rest of the day." Angelina says as she turns to leave the room opening the door when Ciel's small noise made her look over her shoulder quickly.

"D-Do you know when I'd be able to see him again possibly?" Ciel asks, his voice was soft and his face was filled with a vulnerability that was shadowed within his eyes and Angelina felt her heart clench tightly.

"Maybe a year." She replies and turned walking out.

Ciel sat back in his chair, a devastated look painted over his looks and he jumped up quickly, ran to the door swiping his coat off the hook, pulled his shoes on and turned running down the hall and stairs, ran to the front door and ran right outside. He had no idea why he was running to Sebastian but he just knew he had to hear and see Sebastian, once more, one time he'll let his guard down, he ran fast enough he made little wheezing noises, he felt his face flushing as he ran, the snow curnching under his feet. He kept running though and he turned on Sebastian's street panting hard his chest rising and falling rapidly and he mentally cursed his asthma and began running down the street as fast as his legs could run and he felt his heart was about to explode. Just as he got a little ways from the house when Sebastan walked out side, a suitcase in one hand and a brief case in the other as he sighs letting out a breath then turned his head once he noticed Ciel standing there. He walked down and put his bags on the ground and before either one of them even saw it coming Ciel had run forward so fast he was a blur and threw himself into Sebastian's arms and hugged him tightly.

Sebastian was at a lost for words as he hugged Ciel back just as tight pushing his face into his deep dark blue hair. His heart seemed to squeeze as he breathed in Ciel's soft, vanilla tinted scent and he opened his eyes just a bt looking up at the sky. He didn't want to do this. He truly didn't want to leave he really didn't but his father barely asked anything of him and he knew he had to do just this one thing for his father, it was hard but he needed to do let out a breath and kept inhaling Ciel's scent which was different for him to do, he barely ever acted or felt this way with anyone. Ciel had taken large breathes to catch his breath and mostly to capture and remember Sebastian's scent, it was dark and musky, the perfect balance of both, he actually. . . liked it. He didn't want to pull away but he needed to to let Sebastian go.

When he did let go and pull away it was hard and instead of trading words Ciel turned and ran away as fast as he could. He couldn't look Sebastian in the face again, he felt like he'd cry, he just kept running as his breath puffed out leaving Sebastian all alone as his taxi pulled up, though it was early for him to leave he all but felt Sebastian hesitate before getting into the damn taxi. Ciel kept running with his head bowed as his lungs screamed for air and he wheezed faintly as he ran but he kept going and going until his house came into view.

He rested his hands on his knees as he gulped in breathes of air and he walked to his house slowly, when he entered he didn't speak to his aunt at all just went upstairs, past his study and right to his bedroom. He didn't understand why he felt so. . . so upset that the man was leaving, he had fought, hated and yelled at the man so why was he so damn upset? He laid on his bed feeling so lost and confused about his feelings to the point he exhausted himself and he hadn't even awake for that long yet but he couldn't keep his eyes open anymore and he fell asleep slowly, his lashes resting heavily against his cheek and just as he fell asleep, a surprising and shocking, lone tear dripped down his cheek as he sank into a dark sleep.
