A Romance: Ciel and Sebastian

Chapter 1 - The Beginning

It was another typical day for Ciel, or so he assumed, as Sebastian calmly went about preparing the lunch-time meal for his master, Ciel; however, as Ciel sat in boredom, his mind began to wonder to various things, but none of them dealt with the company, in fact, they all revolved around Sebastian! Ciel shook his head in disbelief at his own thoughts, surely he could not think these things of his own butler, however, as soon as that was thought out, the thoughts returned and he found himself sweating profusely due to nervousness. Nervousness, this was unknown to Ciel as he was a rather confident boy, however, it gripped him with a heaviness as he thought of... Sebastian and himself, together. 

Meanwhile, Sebastian was taking delight in preapring the young master a dish out of the freshest of ingredients. A few moments later, due to his proficency, the dish was ready and so was the Earl Gray tea he was preparing for the young master, however, as he carried the two items on a platter up the stairs of the mansion to Ciel's room, he quickly became filled with an uneasy feeling. He felt it settle in his stomach and it wouldn't cease when he pushed it to the back of his mind, his first thought was of the master and he walked quickly to the room in which he happened to reside. 

Upon arriving at the room, Sebastian found a note taped to the door that was written in a rather hasty manner and proceeded to make out the contents of what it said. "Servants of this boy, heed my warning, he will die if you do not give me what I desire." Sebastian took on an amuzed face and quickly headed down stairs and appeared before the others almost as though it was magic, and addressed them. 

"Everyone, I am going to run an errand for our master! I'll be back before dinner!" He exclaimed before charging out the door and to the location that was scrawled on the note at the bottom. 

After running for a mile, Sebastian encountered two servants of the man who had taken his master and they charged at him with a hellish scream, however, this did not deter him, instead, he simply smirked and kicked both of them in the face and they fell upon the ground. Sebastian then grabbed both of them by their collars and held them with his fists while gritting his teeth, it seemed as though this feat was nothing to him. Suddenly, the cellphone in the tuxedo pocket of the one in his left hand began to ring so he threw the one that was in his right hand towards the trees and answered the phone, knowing it was the man who had Ciel. 

"Hey, Larry, what's taking so long?" The boss asked with a gruff voice. 

"Sorry, but can I have my master back, PLEASE?" Sebastian inquired roughly with a faint smile, although the other man could not see it. 

"What the hell?!" The man exclaimed hanging up in a hurry. 

"Well, I must have startled him." Sebastian said to himself with a bemused expression. 

Sebastian ran to the address where the man was holding his master and gently opened the large front doors. "I need to hurry," Sebastian thought while glancing at his watch. He began to quickly walk through the large house in order to search for his master, however, he was making little progress until he came upon a unit of men that were stationed to guard a door with machine guns, and before they opened fire on him, little did they know of what was to occur. 

The machine guns began to spray bullets in an attempt to slay Sebastian, however, he dodged every bullet skillfully and threw knives and forks at their heads with such force that they went through their skulls and into their brains, killing them; however, Sebastian was not yet satisfied for he still had to find young Ciel within this labyrinth of a house. And so, he pushed through the door that was so heavily guarded to be horrified by what he saw, however, there was no expression of it on his face.

"You there, may I have my master?" Sebastian asked with a smile. 

"H-Hold it r-right there! If you take one step closer, I-I'll shoot!" He exclaimed in a panic because he knew there was no way that an ordinary butler could survive that onslaught. 

Suddenly, a bullet flew through Sebastian's skull with such force that it created a large amount of blood spatter and he crumpled to the ground with wide eyes.

"Hahaha, boy, you're dog meat now!" He exclaimed cocking the gun while putting it closer to Ciel's head.

"How long do you intend to play dead?" Ciel asked. 

Sebastian began to rise from the limp body that he once was with a wicked grin upon his face and red eyes, much like a cat's, however, they were far from cat eyes... Ciel slowly pulled up the eyepatch that covered his eye to reveal an eye with a pentagram and the assailant was astonished by what he saw. 

"I am Ciel Phantomhive, head of the Phantomhive family, and your master." Ciel said with a smirk. 

Sebastian grinned and the man grimaced in fear as he pulled the trigger and Sebastian caught the bullet with two of his fingers, much like chopsticks, and the man screamed in fear at what had just occurred in the blink of an eye or less. 

"Sebastian, stop playing around..." Ciel commanded. "Save me." 

"Yes, my lord." Sebastian replied before snapping the man's neck in half as blood dripped from his nose. 

Sebastian then proceeded to pick up Ciel's light body and carried him the entire journey home to the Phantomhive estate, however, Ciel felt rather weird in Sebastian's arms, he felt extremely light headed and tired, and, worst of all, his thoughts from earlier were returning with the speed and force of a freight-train, which caused his head to hurt viciously. He looked up at Sebastian's emotionless face and deemed that the man was handsome, in fact, he appeared radiant in Ciel's eyes, and his head began to hurt even more as the sun began to fall into his eyes. 

"Sebastian..." Ciel whispered softly. 

"How may I serve you, my lord?" He asked with a smile. 

"This is part of what I love about him..." Ciel thought to himself before saying. "Um, can you cover me up from the sun? It is hurting my eyes." 

"Of course, young master." He replied happily while leaning down to use his own body as a shield for Ciel. "Is that better?" He inquired. 

"Much... better." Ciel replied with a faint blush and smile. 

A few minutes later, the two arrived at the Phantomhive estate, still in tact, and Sebastian gently put him upon his feet before they entered, Sebastian after Ciel, closing the door behind them. The servaants cheered at the revelation that their master had been returned to them by Sebastian, and before dinner too, however, Ciel seemed to be rather unhappy for a reason unknown to all of them at the moment. 

"Sebastian," He started with a melancholy tone, "I'm heading to bed for awhile, please don't wake me for dinner or any other commodity." 

"Ciel, are you okay?" Sebastian asked with a startled expression that Ciel found cute. 

"I-I am fine, I just need a nap, that is all." He said before slipping away up the stairs. 

Sebastian watched him sulk up the stairs with worry for his master, what was to happen to him?
