Eternity - Ganbatte Kudasai

The boy was hesitant at first. Did he really wish to die? Deep down he knew he was afraid, afraid of the death that was ready to welcome him. But he had gotten his revenge so now it's time to pay up.. "Sebastian.." His quiet but harsh voice traveled to the demon butler that was so close to him. "Go ahead and be brutal"

"Make it hurt. Etch the pain deep into my soul as proof that I lived." Sebastian seemed to tense up at the words. "I don't want you to hold back, shred me to pieces if you must.. If it will satisfy your hunger. I'm sorry to have starved you for so long.." The voice said quietly.

The memory of when he first made the contract with him began to flood into his mind, clouding it from what was reality.

"Think carefully. Should you reject the faith even this once? the gates of paradise shall forever be out of your reach" His voice seemed to echo "do you think one who is among the faithful would ever go so far as to summon someone like you?" Ciel answered. The demon chuckled "I'll ask it once more, do you wish to form a contract wish me?" "I do. Now stop asking these tedious questions and let me know if we have a deal" at that moment the demons hand reached out to create the seal. "Your orders?" Ciel quietly mumbled "..I will never stop moving forward. I will not regret a single step I have taken. That's why.. I order you: Do not betray me and do not leave my side, no matter what.." Ciel turned to the demon kneeling in front of him. "Yes," the demon paused. "my lord" the demon said, a hand across his chest. The demon reached a hand over the boys right eye. The seal was burning into his eye. The boy screamed loudly in pain.

Look at him now. He made it to the end of the line. This is his life, it's completed. The train ended it's ride. At least that's how it felt. Ciel never gave up, like he said. He got his revenge on the people who murdered his parents, the people who hurt him deeply. He had an adventure with the servants and his demon butler, but it was time to go home. Home to where his heart was.

"Now then.. Young master" Ciel blinked and looked up to see a small smile on his butlers face. "I could never hurt you. No matter how starved I am"

Ciel's long eyelashes covered the view of his big azure eyes as he processed what his beloved demon said. A hand reached up, it was comforting but it slid underneath his blue-grey hair, to untie the fabric covering his contracted eye.

Letting the black eyepatch fall to ground was easy, looking into the two precious eyes however.. Was a different story. A strange wave of guilt hit him. Why would he feel guilty? He's been doing this the entirety of his life so why now? Was it too long? Did he get attached to his master?

His teeth pulled off the glove that covered his right hand (his, now, only hand) falling to ground like the eyepatch had. Smooth cold lips were pressed to the light skin of the boys forehead as a the bare hand held up his bangs to give him a kiss.

"Hatred and sorrow are power. They are yours to control. All you have to do is turn them into strength, and use that strength to move forward" the demon said quietly as he pulled away.

A light shade of pink dusted the pale cheeks of Ciel, a shiver going down his spine from the coldness of his butler. He looked into the crimson-pink eyes and sure enough there was another emotion stirring in them. Not the usual 'I don't really care' look. It seemed warm, kind. It wasn't really fit for a butler.

A Phantomhive butler.

"My point, young master, is that you are still so young" up until now Ciel had never witnessed a side of Sebastian quite like this. It was strange to see this man, this demon, his butler act so caring.

It's too late though right? They made the contract. Ciel's eyes wandered to the hand that was clear, no proof of their contract, he wondered if his eye still looked the same. A light cough came from him. The wound was finally taking it's toll. It's finally reached the end of the story right?

So why did it feel so wrong? "Ah.. I can't wait any longer Sebastian.. Take my soul" his voice was shakier then before, lighter then he remembered. He was in pain. His heart beat gained in speed when Sebastian wrapped his arm around the small of his back, he seemed so fragile. Like he would break any moment.

Although he was dying he felt content. "Let's go.. My lord" the last thing he saw was Sebastian's fox-like teeth heading toward him before reaching out to touch him.

Ciel woke up in a large bed, cold sweat all over his body. He even felt tears rolling down his cheeks and as he looked around he found he was in his room. He was back at the manor. From what he could see the manor was spotless. As if it was never burnt down the second time. Brand new almost.

His eyes widened, was that a dream? No, it couldn't have been.. Surely he's just imagining this and he's already dead..?

No. It's real. A groan slid past his lips as he sat up, his muscles aching even worse then before. He felt a large bandage wrapped around his torso and a cold damp cloth fall from his forehead as he was fully seated.

"Sebastian" he called into the darkness. The butler was in the room within seconds "are you feeling better, young master?" Ciel cut him off from continuing "are we okay..?"

The butler smiled, setting his candles on the bedside table to look up at his small master. "we are fine.." The boy looked down at his face and fell into his chest, wrapping his arms around his torso.

He never thought he'd be doing something like this.

"I.. I love you Sebastian" he squeaked quietly when the cold lips of his demon butler gently caressed his own. "I love you too. Young master"

"So hang in there.." Sebastian whispered into his ear, causing him to shiver.

Ciel's a demon. Sebastian is his eternal butler. And maybe.. They can live happily for eternity..

So this is indeed another SebaCiel oneshot I decided to post because why the hell not so i hope it wasn't too bad and that you enjoyed it. This goes under the tags: #Eternity #SebaCiel #OneShot #Fluff #TheFeels P.S Ganbatte Kudasai means 'hang in there' in Japanese. ~Ace
